TANCREDO: Anemic job-growth numbers are giving major elements of the 2008 Obama coalition good reasons to abandon ship

The latest numbers on jobs and the economy do not bode well for the Obama campaign. The bad news on the economy will add fuel to the brushfire that will soon turn into an inferno. Can you spell O-b-a-m-a- M-e-l-t-d-o-w-n? Read more »

TANCREDO:  The cultural struggle between individualism and collectivism has been raging for over a centuryMr. Wright / Foter

There is a growing realization in political quarters that there’s more to the resiliency of the Obama regime and his re-election chances than voters’ shifting priorities or occasional upticks in the nation’s economy. But the resiliency of the Obama constituency should not be a mystery: it’s the culture, stupid. Read more »

South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson (R)

In September of 2009, Congressman Joe Wilson interrupted a speech to Congress by President Obama with the words, “You Lie!”  At the time Wilson was widely criticized for his impolite violation of decorum, but now we know he was our Paul Revere for Obama’s barrage of lies. Read more »

Barack Obama / Foter

Another tingle probably went up Chris Matthew’s leg this past week when he heard Obama “come out” with an open endorsement of gay marriage. Obama’s statement may or may not be a change in his position on gay marriage, but one aspect of his announcement is especially troubling. Read more »

Guest Commentary: Obama Says “Forward!”

"Forward!" is a familiar battle cry for leftist movements, like the communist organization that produced this leaflet

Obama has adopted “Forward” as a slogan for the campaign.  It is not very original. It has been used by other leftist movements throughout the world.

I can see why they chose it.  After all, who can be against moving forward? Whatever the observer deems to be a desirable future will be what he or she assumes the slogan has in mind. Read more »

TANCREDO: Romney must remember that this election is about one thing and one thing only: Obama

His approval rating is in the toilet.  His re-elect numbers are abysmal for an incumbent President at this point in his term. He has stated that he is giving up on white, working class Americans. The economy, regardless of how he tries to talk it up, is lethargic at best. Read more »

March witnessed the second anniversary of the murder of Arizona rancher Rob Krentz by an illegal alien intruder 25 miles from the Arizona-Mexico border. In his memory, let’s review the state of border security.

Last week conservative columnist George Will declared that none of the four remaining Republican candidates can beat Obama. This would be alarming if we had any reason to trust Will’s crystal ball. We don’t.

Republicans spend too much time wringing their hands over the unfortunate fact that no current candidate measures up to the “Reagan standard.” Well, that’s life. Deal with it. In 2012, Republicans don’t need a Reagan to beat Obama, who has negatives almost as high as Jimmy Carter did in 1980. Read more »

I am constantly baffled by the contradictions among our cultural and media elites when it comes to proposals for establishing the English language as the official language of our nation. Although they admit the necessity of English proficiency for both educational and economic advancement, they habitually oppose any policy proposal to establish English as our national language.

No law can or should compel individuals to give up their native tongue, and no one is proposing to do that. Yet clearly, there are steps we can take to encourage acquisition of essential English language skills by immigrants and newcomers. That is what a bill in Congress, the English Language Unity Act, seeks to do. It requires that all official business of the federal government be conducted only in English. Read more »
