A Little Common Sense
By Rich Lowry

Thoughts From The Right Side
By Marshall Miller

Dr. Rand Paul, running for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky, should stay off those worthless television shows such as the ones on MSNBC. When you go on shows with ambush artists like Rachel Madcow, you are playing on the enemy’s turf and they’re picking the umpires. They twisted his words in an attempt to destroy him. Their ratings are scraping the bottom anyway so why help send them viewers by making any of their shows interesting. [Full Story »]

Why is the Obama administration indifferent to the Nashville, Tennessee flood victims? Easy question - he didn’t get a lot of votes there. Black conservative columnist Larry Elder figured it out quickly. [Full Story »]

A Little Common Sense
By Rich Lowry

How often does the Office of Policy Planning and Research, United States Department of Labor produce anything worth reading, let alone a report that reverberates 45 years later?
Such was the brilliance of Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan that it happened once, when he wrote his prescient 1965 report, “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action.” [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,

It’s Click It Or Ticket time in Georgia and anyone who complains about getting a ticket for not buckling-up deserves a crash-course in road-reality, even though the numbers often seem surreal. Across the country in 2008, 13,250 lives were saved by seatbelts. [Full Story »]

Thoughts From The Right Side
By Marshall Miller

I caught a little of the Mark Levin radio show Friday, May 7 and heard Sean Hannity call in. The subject of Ron Paul and his 2008 Republican debate run-in with Sean’s hero Rudy Giuliani came up.

“Rudy put him in his place,” Sean told Mark Levin. He did? That’s not what I heard. I admit - I’m a Ron Paul fan. Don’t forget - both Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are very anti - Ron Paul. [Full Story »]
