ALAN KEYES — I had already written what I
thought would be my WND column for this week when word came of the
Ryan-Murray budget deal. I agree wholeheartedly with its critics, but I
find it very frustrating that few if any of them are willing to state
the obvious. This deal is just another instance of the quisling pattern
of betrayal now characteristic of the GOP... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — A member of Congress says
that Obama's imperial presidency - - his arbitrary enforcement or
non-enforcement of the nation's laws - - has gone too far. And so he's
endorsing a resolution in the U.S. House that would allow a lawsuit over

ROBERT KNIGHT — Baseball and football fans
know that when coaches chew out umpires and referees, there's little
chance that the questionable call will be overturned - - especially in
baseball. In many cases, though, that's not the intent. The idea is to
intimidate the umpire into giving them a better call the next time
around... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — With frightened
Republicans scattering like bunny rabbits at the sound of distant
thunder, a job-killing minimum-wage increase is probably inevitable.
Only 63 House Republicans voted to maintain the budgetary discipline
that prevented President Obama from breaking the budget into even tinier
pieces. The early, unconditional surrender in the House sends a message
that these congressmen will throw good policy overboard at the first
sign their re-election could be imperiled... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — A group called PunditFact
has a "Truth-O-Meter" which says that Bill O'Reilly's observation that
Nelson Mandela was a communist is "correct," but only "mostly true." How
something can be correct but only "mostly true" is not really
explained. It is apparently a liberal's way of saying that Mandela's
communism should be of no special significance, and that we should just
ignore the fact that the world was deceived about his devotion to
communism for several decades.... (more)

known as the MK, the military wing of the Marxist African National
Congress (ANC). The MK was established by its commander, Nelson Mandela,
to prosecute a terrorist war against South Africa's racist apartheid
regime.... (more)

BYRON YORK — It's becoming increasingly
clear that when President Obama arrived at the Nelson Mandela memorial
service in Johannesburg, South Africa Tuesday, he stepped into an
atmosphere so chaotic, disorganized, and unsafe that under any other

insisted the president not appear.... (more)

engaged in a firefight, was attacked from the ground by insurgents
wielding rocket-propelled grenades, witnesses later told military
