You can't turn on a radio or TV talk show without hearing someone say that President Barack Obama is leading us into socialism. I get e-mails on a daily basis saying the same thing. So, on this day after the...
The issue exploded last week with respect to Obama's opponents. That, in turn, set off howls of protest over "the race card" being played. I sure agree that race shouldn't be injected into a debate lightly. But what do you...
Bumper sticker noted last night downtown: "Marimba players for Obama". Who knew they had a lobby?...
I guess it was inevitable. You couldn't have the first black president, I suppose, without the issue of race spilling over into our national debates. I discussed it briefly in a posting the other day and sparked some lively, indignant...
A well-written letter to the editor takes the Tea Party protesters to task for highly selective outrage. George W. Bush's contributions to the national debt got hardly a mention. Barack Obama, on the other hand, is the devil incarnate. I...

Hooray for Laura Bush for getting President Obama's back on this school talk today. Of course it's appropriate for a president to give a message of encouragement to school children, she said. And I guess you have to give some...
Trey Garrison's op-ed column today strikes me as silly and disingenuous. (It's not the president's job to inspire students, he says.) But it did send me to the dictionary. Garrison asks: What could further cement this fundamental, dangerous misperception of...
Good column today, James. This foaming and frothing over Obama's encouragement to school kids really does mark a new low in American political life. Apart from my sadness that we've sunk to this, I fear the longterm implications for conservatism...
I'm mystified by a letter to the editor in today's newspaper. It's in reaction to the "Talking Race" column that James Ragland and I did Sunday. "...I wonder why no one wants to put blame on Henry Louis Gates Jr....
As reported widely, and lately here, gun and ammo sales and prices have leaped since Barack Obama was elected president. This is based, of course, on fear of the Obama administration. An NRA spokeswoman is quoted in our story: "Gun...
Talk about jumping the gun. State Sen. Royce West is pushing a bill in Austin to name a portion of I-20 for Barack Obama. I don't think you have to let people die before you honor them. But I don't...
An alert reader points out that $$ does, indeed, talk: Remember The Terrell Tribune not running Obama's election on Page One and publisher Bill Jordan defending the decision by saying, "We run a newspaper, not a memory book service"? Well...
Obama's already helping the economy -- at least at The Dallas Morning News....
No offense to those undecided voters out there, but I've been fascinated by those still on the fence with their presidential pick. What more information could they possibly need? This election has been playing out for months ... and I...
You probably heard the news on Friday of a woman who said she was robbed at an ATM -- then had a "B" carved in her face when the Obama-supporting attacker saw her McCain bumper sticker. Well, in case you...
I continue to get a barrage of forwarded e-mails questioning Barack Obama's citizenship. Yesterday I got an actual post office letter from a woman in Lewisville imploring me to look into the matter. This hardly seems worth saying at this...
