How does President Barack Obama, a man of such keen intelligence, with such promise to "change" America, find himself in so much serious trouble?
From the IRS targeting conservatives to the continued confusion over what happened at Benghazi to provoking a battle with The Associated Press by subpoenaing phone records that could involve as many as 100 reporters, what went wrong?
The answer is simple: arrogance, aided and abetted by a compliant, adoring "news" media.
Under President Obama, "justice" is anything but blind. Neither is it deaf. In fact, based on recent revelations, it appears to be watching your every move and listening to your every word. Still, if you happen to be a federal employee, now it's even listening for your silence.
The foxes are guarding the ObamaCare henhouse. The IRS vultures are circling overhead. The shadow of tyranny and the stench of corruption are unmistakable.
Much has been said about a speech President Obama gave last weekend at Morehouse College. I appreciate what the president said about "transforming the way we think about manhood." He urged men to take responsibility for their families. But on an ideological note, he talked about the criticisms of the parenting skills of gays and lesbians and the plight of Muslim Americans.
On Sept. 12, 2012, President Barack Obama vowed to "bring to justice" the perpetrators of the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya. On Oct. 26, 2012, Obama said his "biggest priority" was bringing the "folks" in Libya responsible for murdering four Americans to "justice." Tick, tock, tick, tock.
The latest confession by Obama IRS officials that they targeted tea party, pro-Constitution and pro-Israel groups isn't a sign of "rogue" behavior. It's tyrannical.
There can be honest differences of opinion on many subjects. But there can also be dishonest differences. Last week's testimony under oath about events in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, makes painfully clear that what the Obama administration told the American people about those events were lies out of whole cloth.
You just knew press coverage of the congressional hearing on the Benghazi cover-ups last Wednesday would be nonexistent or squirrely, right? It was mostly the latter, so break out the nuts.
Recently, I heard the Duck Dynasty patriarch (Phil Robertson) give an interview about the role of faith in his life. When it came to evangelism, Phil said: "To go forth, you have to love 'em more than you fear 'em."
What a simple but powerful way to explain why Christians have to get involved in the affairs of the world and culture. I believe Phil's statement is spot on and helps explain why so few Christians are willing to take their faith and beliefs beyond the church walls on Sunday.
Even as the White House is busy validating lifestyle choices and values that fly in the face of sexual morality, this president is just as busy undermining the free exercise of the very Christian faith that dares to acknowledge morality even exists.
How appropriate that on a day celebrating a myth -- the tale of Cupid -- the Illinois Senate conducted a vote on another myth: gay marriage.
Be prepared for Dr. Ben Carson to be demonized for bringing up healthcare at the National Prayer Breakfast. Never mind that Barack Obama also did it two years ago.
Astoundingly, amidst the recent clamor over Barack Obama's drone program we have seen the media turn into hypocrites. Shock of shocks ... how can it be?
Question: What do liberal journalists and politicians do when an alleged triple-murderer heaps praise on lefties in media and Hollywood for their efforts? Answer: [crickets].
Why are President Obama and Senator Dianne Feinstein so ready to compromise basic American freedoms with gun control measures to solve a problem that Obama acknowledges we don't understand?
BSA leadership needs to stay true to its values and ignore corporate pressure from within and cultural pressure from without.
