There are two prevailing views of human nature. In one view, humans are naturally bad. In the other, humans are naturally good. This may be a simplification, but it is accurate in the aggregate. In broad terms, leftists tend to believe that humans are naturally good—or at least naturally perfectible. And that is why they […]
Continue reading →Fox Business analyst Stuart Varney (from Varney & Co.) has some reservations about the new Lego Movie. He thinks it is yet another film in a long line of Hollywood blockbusters that evidences Hollywood’s “anti-business” message. He says that the main villain in the Lego Movie is named “President Business” and looks like Mitt Romney. […]

Apparently administrators at a school in Chicago are up in “arms” about gun-free zone signs they are being asked to post on their property. They are angry because the signs contain pictures of […]

(Methinks the lady doth protest too much…) But as soon as anybody else tries to make a choice they don’t like … Well, they immediately start laying down unilateral standards of conformity. A case in point. The state of Indiana now has a state-wide […]

The father first believed that the poster was a prank perpetrated by students, so he called the school to complain. The school explained that the poster was actually not a prank. […]

An advocacy group called “A is For” has collected a band of Hollywood comedians and musicians for an event they are calling “A Night of a Thousand Vaginas.” Money raised by the event will go to fund abortions in Texas, since stricter Texas laws have […]

The US Postal Service and at least this one leftist consider this a win: Some people will blame the customer for waiting until the last minute to place their order, but the problems at UPS and […]

Republicans like it—mostly. You know who doesn’t like this budget deal at all? I don’t. When will our civil government realize that we don’t have any money? I […]
