Every now and then, rarely to be sure, a profile in courage comes to our attention. Somebody who does something brave, and when we hear about it, we know this is a person of great character, that this is someone who knew all the risks, but spoke up anyway. Senator Rob Portman of Ohio is…

Don’t Blame Him — He’s Only the President
Conservatives have been unfair to Barack Obama. They blame him for all sorts of things. But it’s never his fault. Just ask him. The economy? We all know that was Bush’s fault. The fact that millions of Americans are still out of work, the lucky ones settling for part-time jobs? Hey, he’s president not a…

I’m listening to the news on television and I hear President Obama tell us that if sequestration goes through the world as we know it will cease to exist, hard times will come down on us like the proverbial ton of bricks. No, he didn’t use those exact words but that was the message. Here’s…
