When the Left agitates over government policies, it's considered righteous anger. When the Right - and much of the center - agitate, it's painted as the rantings of the criminally and violently insane.Collection: Anger
When the world lacks muscular and wise American leadership, it devolves into total chaos, which, in turn, produces unspeakable evils.Collection: Leadership

Just when you think you've heard it all from Team Obama, the next day brings another jaw-dropper.
Healthcare is the cornerstone of the socialist state. It is the crown jewel of the welfare state.
I think the American people believe in stopping and preventing terrorism pretty much at any cost.
Michelle Obama is a major asset for the president.
The Democrats handle dissent by isolating it, smearing it and delegitimizing it in order to crush it.
During his public life, Barack Obama has often referred to his biracial background and itinerant childhood and has said, 'In no other country on Earth is my story even possible.' True.
President Reagan was the quintessential Happy Warrior, and no one loves, respects, and admires Reagan more than I do.
It is an abuse of power, when you are President of the United States, to use the White House to single out a single news organization, and castigate them and try to delegitimize them.
When I'm debating others, whether it's Eleanor Clift or Bob Beckel, you're still in a fierce debate mode, but you're also on best behavior.
Ann Romney has been front-and-center. She's held a lot of town halls, a lot of campaign rallies, on her own, separate from her husband. And she is dynamite out on the campaign trail.
Some political spouses are much more comfortable on the campaign trail than others, and they take to it a lot more naturally.
If there were a bunch of Buddhist or Hindus or Roman Catholics carrying out grotesque acts of international terror, I would expect to see their faces on the side of bus.
Article II of the articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon was just the simple fact that he talked about and suggested the potential use of the IRS against one or two political opponents.
I think the Republican Party is supposed to be the party of less government intrusion.
The left controls academia, the culture, and the news media.
The tactics of Saul Alinsky and Barack Obama are geared toward wealth redistribution.
There were no dead bodies in Watergate.
We need to reform the health code so that people are incentivized to buy their own health insurance rather than have to get it through an employer.
We need a direct repudiation of Barack Obama and everything for which he stands.
We need the ability to buy healthcare insurance across state lines that would increase competition and drive down cost.
Obama doesn't run around wearing a Carrie Bradshaw-esque nameplate necklace that says 'Socialist.' But his policies, actions, words, background and associations speak louder than any ID necklace ever could.
Unlike President Obama, President Nixon was a capitalist who did not believe in 'remaking' the very character of America.
Two famous happy warriors - Reagan and his political soulmate, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - knew they were fighting their own ideological and external wars. But they did so with the sunny dispositions and positive outlooks of those who knew they were on the right side of history.
In many ways, Nixon started the modern notion of 'compassionate conservatism,' which as we all know is neither 'compassionate' nor 'conservative.'
Barack Obama is Occupy Wall Street. Barrack Obama is plugged into that world. That's what he believes.
Newt Gingrich would cream Barack Obama in a debate.
In several short years, Obama has fundamentally shifted the balance away from the individual and toward government, and has altered the national psyche from self-reliance to ever-growing reliance on government.
I'm thrilled to be working with Goldline, the very best in the gold business.
If the government controls your health care, the government controls you. Obamacare was never about health care. It was about government power, dependency, and control.

Occupy Wall Street didn't just spring from the earth organically, out of thin air. This was all part of the global socialist movement.
Barack Obama is not Harry Truman, who dropped the A-bomb on Japan to stop World War II. Barack Obama is not John F. Kennedy, who lowered marginal tax rates to get economic growth and job creation. Barack Obama and the far left, they are a completely different ball of wax.
Bill Clinton wanted to survive. And Bill Clinton wanted to thrive, not just for himself, although that's primarily what drives Bill Clinton. He's a classic narcissist. So of course he wanted to thrive and succeed. But he also wanted America to thrive and succeed, which is why he worked with a Republican Congress.
Bill Clinton is a classic, old-school Southern pragmatic Democrat.
It took a catastrophe of socialized medicine to wake a lot of people up because it affects every single person in America, either directly or indirectly. That's when you get people's attention - when it directly affects them.
Nothing for the Left, nothing the government does is ever about its superficial reason; it's only and always about expanding government power and control over you.
Conservatives are always right about everything. We are. We are.
