James O’Keefe III has been called a hero by conservatives and refers to himself as an “investigative journalist.” In reality, O’Keefe is a manipulative glory hound.

It is rare to see a presidential candidate’s hopes dashed by a single event, but Mike Huckabee now knows the feeling.

On Nov. 4, 2008, history was made when we elected Barack Obama president. Almost a year to the day history was made again, on Nov. 3, 2009, when he was voted out of office – albeit only by New Jersey and Virginia. If the 24-hour-news networks are to be believed…

President Barack Obama took a step toward quieting some of his critics last week when he signed a new hate crimes bill into law. Obama has been criticized by left-wingers for his slow response to promises he made to ensure equality between heterosexuals and homosexuals…
