Jay Nordlinger: The People's Choice

“Mitt Romney: Not one of us.”  That was the slogan of an Obama ad. And, yes, Mitt Romney is not one of us. Who’s “us”? Whoever we are, or they are, Romney isn’t one of them. And I’m not either.

More Years For Obama, More Tears For America

by Charles Hurt.   All that for nothing. It was the billion-dollar election that did not decide one single damned thing. Republicans control the House. Democrats control the Senate.

Katie Kieffer: Cleaning Obama's Bloodstains

Blood is staining the globe.    Not the blood of terrorists (enemies of America), but the blood of innocent Americans. We cannot resuscitate our loved ones. We can only attempt to clean President Obama’s bloodstains by removing him—and all who think like him—from public office. There is no need to “judge” Obama’s heart to realize that he is unfit to lead;   ...
