Rights guaranteed – responsibilities not required

By Steve McGough / October 28, 2008 / Comments Off on Rights guaranteed – responsibilities not required

How come liberals talk about rights that should be guaranteed, but not responsibilities required? I would think that if you are going to be guaranteed rights by the state, the state would set detailed responsibilities from those benefiting from those rights. This mornings post by Scott Johnson at Power Line – Obama’s Constitution – should…

Compare and contrast – McCain and Obama on The View

By Steve McGough / September 20, 2008 /

As Jim Vicevich mentions, The View isn’t really considered a news program, but if you’re wondering who most of the “cast” will be voting for, you need not go further than these video clips.

Biden won’t let Obama take his guns – or ours

By Steve McGough / September 20, 2008 /

My first thought when I heard about Biden’s statement concerning firearm ownership was – I’ll bet my last dollar he was not in San Fransisco, Seattle, Chicago or New York. No way. Biden stated, “I guarantee you Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey.” Biden spoke at the United Mine Workers…

Half of Obama supporters think SCOTUS rulings should not follow Constitution

By Steve McGough / September 9, 2008 / Comments Off on Half of Obama supporters think SCOTUS rulings should not follow Constitution

This is a brutal assessment on how liberals think the Judicial Branch should make decisions. For conservatives, this is beyond the tipping point and concerns me more than any political or economic subject. Almost half of Obama supporters think that judges should base decisions on what they think is right or fair. That’s right, almost…

Republicans Can Be Populists Too

By Steve McGough / April 16, 2008 / Comments Off on Republicans Can Be Populists Too

Yes, they can. They are. They can be bigots and elitist too. We saw it with John McCain & Huckabee concerning the border and immigration issues. Michelle Malkin’s column just scratches the surface, politicians these days all seem to be pandering to special groups; they are populist candidates. What can the government do for you…

Obama encourages illegal aliens to vote?

By Steve McGough / November 6, 2016 / Comments Off on Obama encourages illegal aliens to vote?

Not quite so fast. He did not understand the premise of the question, or he just was not listening. When Gina Rodriguez asked the question during the interview earlier this week, everyone freaked out about the answer. The video you’re seeing elsewhere cuts off a relevant comment by the president a few moments later in…

Good News: Firearm dealers removed from FDIC “high risk” category

By Steve McGough / July 29, 2014 /

This was one of the Obama administration’s attacks on the firearm industry bypassing the normal legislative process. In-other-words, President Obama used his phone and pen to tell the Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation (FDIC) to put firearm dealers on a list of “high risk” businesses banks should avoid. Banking is heavily regulated by the federal government, and…

Hinderaker: Obama is a liar of epic proportions

By Steve McGough / March 4, 2014 /

So true it seems. Our friend John Hinderaker over at Power Line reflects on the just-released Obama administration 2015 budget proposal and President Obama’s own comments concerning the budget at an elementary school in Washington, D.C. earlier today.

Obama – “Health insurance … is your right”

By Steve McGough / August 18, 2013 /

No, it is not. A [human] right is one that exists simultaneously between people. In no way, may one of your “rights” diminish the rights of another person. Let me explain the brutal circle here.
