Arizona Governor Jane Brewer, caved to political pressure earlier today, and signed into law Senate Bill 1070. The law will allow police officers to question the immigration status of ‘suspicious’ individuals. But deciphering what constitutes a ‘suspicious’ individual or ’suspicious’ behavior, is easier said than done. The reality is that individuals will be targeted by ethnicity. [...]
The state of Arizona has inched closer to legalizing racial profiling, thanks to a senate bill that has made its way to the Governor‘s desk. The bill would allow police officers to stop and question those believed to be illegal immigrants. But most disturbing are the considerations that would be taken into account, when questioning [...]
Tragic events often bring forth illogical assumptions. For example. Some liberal talkers, guided by their unprincipled principles, politicize nefarious acts. More troubling is the fact that their assumptions are part of an agenda crafted to advance their political ideology. Days after a madman went on a shooting spree at a holocaust museum, MSNBC host Chris [...]

Undisciplined movements can be lead astray without resistance. This was the case last weekend during the Tea Party Convention when an ideologue spewed incoherent vitriol. Even more surprising was the audience’s reaction; pure uninhibited delight with uproarious applause. To the outside observer such as myself, the words uttered sowed despair instead of hope.

Hispanic’s disenchantment with Republicans made Barack Obama’s presidential aspiration a reality. Their support for Obama over John McCain was unequivocally decisive. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Hispanics voted democratic: “By a margin of more than two-to-one, 67% versus 31%.” The margin reflects an ingrained weariness among Hispanics towards Republicans. In 2004, George W. Bush got [...]

Elections taking place in New York and New Jersey, on November 3, are not a referendum on President Obama. To think so is a mistake. An analysis of each election reveal disenchantment on the local level. New Jersey’s gubernatorial race is a referendum on the current Democratic Governor, Jon Corzine. Corzine is facing fierce competition from [...]

His understanding of political rationality defied logic. But there he was, before an audience mugged by age, espousing his vision of conservatism. His voice, professorial and certain, injected vitality into an already existing conversation. The anemic bones of conservatism of old experienced a subtle surge of youthful life, thanks to a fourteen-year old wunderkind. Perhaps [...]

After the 2008 elections, where Republicans were savagely defeated, one question lingered. Who is the leader of the conservative movement? Is it, John McCain, Sarah Palin or Michael Steele? Or perhaps a fresh faced Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana. Some even looked to past leaders, such as former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich and [...]
