- From the perspective of voters, the major political divide in the nation is between mainstream Americans and the Political Class. Politicians would prefer to ignore that divide and focus on whether DC Republicans or DC Democrats should run the club for the next couple of years. – Scott Rasmussen
- The real social Darwinism
- Supporters call the Ex-Im Bank “pro-business.” In fact, it’s a subsidy machine, doling out taxpayer funds to favored companies at the expense of others. — IBD
- David Adams comments on Damron’s position on Obamacare
- Earned success means defining your future as you see fit and achieving that success on the basis of merit and hard work. It allows you to measure your life’s “profit” however you want, be it in money, making beautiful music, or helping people learn English. Earned success is at the root of American exceptionalism. The link between earned success and life satisfaction is well established by researchers. — Arthur Brooks

- We don’t know what good things we might have if the heavy foot of government didn’t step in to limit our options. — John Stossel
- Same-sex marriage proponents may conflate opposition to same-sex marriage with being anti-gay. But conservatives must not. Those of us who fear the consequences of redefining marriage — asking children if they hope to marry a boy or a girl when they get older, banning religious adoption agencies from placing children first with a married man and woman, denying the importance of both sexes in making families, … and much more — must make it clear that we regard homosexuals as fellow human beings created in God’s image just as heterosexuals are. — Dennis Prager
- Politicians lie, consumers cry – by Theresa Camoriano
- Mitt Romney and the entire Republican Party need to describe this election as the plebiscite on America that it is. The most urgent task in American life is to make clear, and then repeat as often as possible: leftist values and American values are in conflict. — Dennis Prager
- Steve Beshear saw his shadow yesterday – by David Adams
- The bottom line is that it’s simply impossible to cut taxes on investment — which most agree is needed — while satisfying Obama’s lust for class warfare. – IBD
- More than 100 tea partiers attended public hearing in Frankfort on implementation of Obamacare
- I can speak from personal experience going back to my years on welfare. The intent of federal welfare programs might have been to help the poor, but they caused far more damage than benefit. When you tell a poor mother that to qualify for her check, she must demonstrate that she is single, not working, and has no savings, what are the chances she’ll get married, look for a job, and put money in the bank? When this goes on for generations, what do you think this does to a community? — Star Parker
- Governor Jindal has great success bringing more school choice to Louisiana, and discussion of school choice issues - PJTV video
- There is no fixed limit to the wealth a society can produce, and today’s “1 percent” produce an amazing amount of it. But their wealth takes nothing away from the other 99 percent. We are all free to rise as high as talent, education, and hard work will take us. Wealth is not theft. Productivity is not zero-sum. If economic disparity is a problem, then the way to solve it is by raising those who are stuck near the bottom, not tearing down those who have climbed to the top. — Jeff Jacoby
- Man prosecuted for passing out pamphlets about jury nullification was acquitted
- In this age where Obama campaigns on divisiveness and class warfare, I find dealing with entrepreneurs a welcome respite. They are beholden to an idea. Do they care where their customers come from? No. Do I only invest in right wing conservative Christians? No. It’s all about merit. I don’t care a whit if the entrepreneurs went to Harvard or the local community college. It doesn’t matter if they were raised in a mansion or a tenement. It’s about the idea. — Jeff Carter
- David Adams action alert on KY implementation of Obamacare
- For too many liberals like Obama, “fairness” is not about enriching the modes; it’s about impoverishing the moneyed.-- DeRoy Murdock
- We need a new word – Theresa Camoriano
- I’ve said and written this many times but when those men from Mars finally do land and approach me and demand “take me to your leader” I will say “you’re looking at him-what do you need?” I think more and more people are beginning to feel that way. – Charles Payne
- Walter Williams 5 minute video on the power of profits (It is well worth your time.)
- If a campaign doesn’t use AVS (address verification system for credit card charges), it can wind up accepting contributions from phony names or accepting contributions from foreigners, both of which are illegal. (The Obama campaign did not use AVS in 2008 and will not use it in 2012) — Michael Barone

- “Liberty” means the individual must be as free as possible. And this is only possible when the state and government are as small as possible. The freer the state is to do what it wants, the less free the citizen is to do what he wants. In sum, the bigger the government, the smaller the citizen. — Dennis Prager

- THIS WEEK, a Palestinian court sentenced Muhammad Abu Shahala to death for selling a home in Hebron near the Cave of the Patriarchs to Jews. Shahala was arrested shortly after several Jewish families moved into the house last month. He was reportedly tortured and quickly tried and sentenced to die by a Palestinian Authority court. — Caroline Glick

- New political ad from the Catholic church about important issues in next election
- The left is attempting to force the Koch Brothers to resign through a boycott of their products. Of course, those on the right will start their own “buycott” and urge Americans to go out of their way to buy their products; paper towels, napkins, plates and cups by Brawny, Dixie, Sparkle, Mardi Gras, Vanity Fair and Zee, and toilet paper by Angel Soft, Quilted Northern and Soft’n’Gentle. — Rachel Alexander

- Despite the implicit message of the president, wealthy people are not wealthy because they are taking something from the poor or from government. And they don’t stop anyone else from being wealthy. And the wealthy did not create our debt; government did. — David Harsanyi
- Why the dramatically higher motorcycle death rates? Theresa Camoriano
- The Democrats and the left recognize that if blacks cease viewing themselves as victims of racism, the Democratic Party can no longer offer itself as black America’s savior. And if only one out of three black Americans ceases to regard to himself as a victim of racism, and votes accordingly, it will be very difficult for Democrats to win any national election. — Dennis Prager

- “We still find ourselves in a very tough spot, and we’re still going to continue to express what we believe is not just a religious point of view but a constitutional point of view that America is at her best when the government doesn’t force her citizens or a group of citizens in a religious creed to violate their deepest held moral convictions.” — Cardinal Dolan
- Do you want real fairness? – by Theresa Camoriano
- Whatever the ideology or rhetoric of the political left, their agenda around the world has been preempting other people’s decisions and regimenting their lives. -- Thomas Sowell

- Governments aren’t invested with moral qualities; only people are. This basic understanding of the world is one of the distinctions between the loony left and conservatives. The truth is, the only ones who really care about women are people: husbands, sons, daughters, mothers and fathers. — John Ransom
- Bill Whittle 7 minute video pretty much sums up our situation
- The tragedy surrounding Trayvon’s death is not in the possibility that it might have something to do with white racism; the tragedy is in the lustfulness with which so many black leaders, in conjunction with the media, have leapt to exploit his demise for their own power. — Shelby Steele
- Louisville Tea Party endorses Thomas Massie for US Congress
- It is because the reach of the state has intruded so deeply into the most intimate details of people’s lives—from the kind of light bulbs we use to whether someone needs contraception—that such issues of intimate morality have been taken out of their traditional province, the individual conscience, and thus out of the privacy of the sphere of civil society. -- Phillip DeVous, Pastor of St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Crescent Springs, KY
- April TEA Party Events in Indianapolis and Louisville
- BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. — Politico
- What is judicial activism? – by Theresa Camoriano
- For 30 years, I have had leading left-wing thinkers on my radio show, and I continue to be shocked at their lack of awareness of conservative arguments…. Why don’t liberals read us or listen to us or debate us? Because the left has convinced itself that the right is unworthy of such attention. They are certain that conservatives are sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic Islamophobic, racist and bigoted, not to mention anti-intellectual and anti-science.– Dennis Prager

- Senator Paul news clips 3-27-12
- Beware the language of the left – by Theresa Camoriano
- The only way to give Trayvon justice, for non-progressives still interested in such things, is to let the investigation lead where it goes, not pass the same prejudgment on George Zimmerman progressives accuse him of passing on Trayvon. It’s time for progressives to stop dancing on Trayvon Martin’s grave, to stop dancing on the graves of all the victims they exploit, take off their bigoted blinders and join the rest of society. — Derek Hunter
