In the 19th century, Catholicism was regarded by many people in this country as thoroughly incompatible with Americanism. They saw it as a hostile foreign element that would subvert democracy. Today, a majority of the justices on the Supreme Court are Catholic, and they are taken to be as American as Mountain Dew.2012-06-10T00:01:00-04:002012-06-11T01:40:02ZSteve Chapman

ACORN alumni and radical leftists know they have the godfather of all Community Organizers in the Oval Office, and Obama has long been in the middle of promoting the failed housing policies that led to the current crisis. 2012-06-10T00:01:00-04:002012-06-11T01:40:02ZBob Beauprez

The rage of the heat blowing in the direction of the White House this past Friday was so intense that in less than three hours from saying what has to be the most universally disconnected assertion in Presidential history President Obama was back at the microphone lapping up what he said like a dog at his own vomit.2012-06-10T00:01:00-04:002012-06-11T01:40:02ZKevin McCullough

The simple term crony capitalism belies the evil, corrupt nature associated with the actual process. Crony capitalism goes way beyond helping your friends, your cronies. It is a twisted, orchestrated plan that rewards the cronies and costs the taxpayer, while punishing the average citizen. 2012-06-10T00:01:00-04:002012-06-11T01:40:02ZMarita Noon

The topic de jour on the political left is inequality. From President Obama to the editorial pages of The New York Times the message is the same: low taxes (especially on the wealthy) and deregulation are making the rich richer and the poor poorer. Their solution: more big government.2012-06-09T00:01:00-04:002012-06-10T03:10:02ZJohn C. Goodman

If for some reason any individual is determined to be a material financial risk to the economic system, they can be investigated. That’s any individual for any reason. The government can demand that you turn over every document, credit card statement, business statement, tax return so they can investigate your activity. 2012-06-09T00:01:00-04:002012-06-10T03:10:02ZJeff Carter

At times, it seems there is little difference between "Monopoly Money" and "Bernanke Money". It all depends on the willingness of banks to lend and consumers and businesses to borrow. 2012-06-09T00:01:00-04:002012-06-10T03:10:02ZMike Shedlock

The farther out this administration gets, the easier it is for Americans to see just what kind of Faustian bargain they made for themselves in 2008. And dinner with the president is not going to mollify them. 2012-06-09T00:01:00-04:002012-06-10T03:10:02ZLincoln Brown

Press said he is “embarrassed” by the lyrics of the National Anthem, which includes such stirring phrases as “the land of the free,” and the “home of the brave.” Press claims that he does not know whether America is the home of the brave, asking whether we are “the only ones who are brave on the planet?” 2012-06-09T00:01:00-04:002012-06-10T03:10:02ZJeff Crouere
