Value Stock Investing - The November Syndrome On Drugs
 Guest Author: Steve Selengut (11/19/08)
Every fall, especially in opportunity rich markets like this, I encourage investors to think about some year-end strategies that make the final calendar quarter a special time in all markets. Several forces are at work, all of which have links to conventional Wall Street wisdom; none of which promote good long-term investment decision-making.
He Said, She Said
Warner Todd Huston (11/19/08)
Why The Finger Pointing Aides Democrats - We have gone through the first round of internal recriminations with the recent excoriation of Governor Palin by those "unnamed" McCain staffers. We are also starting to see a few hints of the slaps for John McCain more of which will soon come from amongst GOP faithful. But, while the media loves the bashing, this internal carping does nothing to help us at all. And most especially, breaking out the long knives for our own will only strengthen Barack Obama by cementing in the voter's minds that the GOP is in permanent disarray setting Obama up to create a Democratic majority that will be difficult to defeat.
US, Afghan and Pakistani Forces Squeezing Terror Groups on Border
Jim Kouri CPP (11/19/08)
With US, Afghan and Pakistani forces applying pressure on both sides of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, the enemy "is running out of options for places to go," a senior US officer in the region said today.
We're Broke, So Let's Give Our Money to Foreigners
Alan Caruba (11/19/08)
“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress, but then I repeat myself.” - Mark Twain - Given the talk of President-elect Obama’s possible selection of Sen. Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State in his new administration, the likelihood of “change” is growing more distant by the hour.
The Fairness (?) Doctrine and the Constitution
Doug Edelman (11/19/08)
Every legislator elected to the US Senate and House of Representatives takes this oath upon their installation into that office. They obligate themselves to “support and defend” the constitution of the United States and “bear true faith and allegiance” to it. - "I, Loyal Citizen of the Republic, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
Liberals misunderstand the pro-life position
Robert E. Meyer (11/19/08)
In the aftermath of this year's electoral train wreck for conservatives, my local newspaper has published a few editorial letters by people trying to offer their rejoinders to pro-life positions opposing abortion, by claiming that those who articulate pro-life positions are inconsistent. These letters usually carry a litany of monolithic talking points, which include some or all of assertions made below.
'Not "Conservative" Enough?'
JB Williams (11/18/08)
Under the myopic mantra of "not conservative enough," the nation just rejected its best known American hero and real Washington watch-dog and elected the most inexperienced far left freshman member of the U.S. Senate, aka the elitist good ole boy network, as Commander-in-Chief.
Planet Wide Anxiety Bubbling To The Surface
Guest Author: J. D. Longstreet (11/18/08)
The human brain has this tiny little part called the amygdale. It's in that tiny part of the brain where fear is generated and the fight or flee order is given to the rest of the human body. It is where fear is born. As silly as it may seem, it is the reason we humans have survived on this planet so far and, if we are to survive much longer, we are going to have to begin listening to it again.
GOP Needs More Sarahs and Fewer Arnolds
Doug Patton (11/18/08)
At the recent Republican Governors Conference in Florida, one superstar (Sarah Palin of Alaska) was center stage, while another (Arnold Schwarzenkennedy of Caleefornia) was conspicuous by his absence.
Barack Obama's Bucket Brigade
Jayme Evans (11/18/08)
Now that Democrats have finally finished pleasuring themselves, perhaps we can all come back down to Earth for just a moment and face reality. There's a lot of tough work ahead and Barack Obama is woefully unprepared for the task at hand. Although he won the election, he also laid bare his innumerable weaknesses and set his own expectations so incredibly high, he may never live up to them.
'Proud to be an American… Finally?'
Warner Todd Huston (11/18/08)
I really hated Jimmy Carter. I felt Bill Clinton was a disgrace as a man much less a president even though his administration wasn't half as bad as Carter's, admittedly. Historically, FDR proved to be a president that introduced more anti-American ideas into our political system than any other. As to the future, Obama could be a humongous disaster for this country. But through all of those horrible leaders of American history, I was still -- am still -- proud to be an American. I have always been happy to wave the flag or argue our merits with a snooty European, and I've always gotten a thrill up my leg on Independence Day (with apologies to Chris Matthews for stealing his obsequiousness). Who the president was didn't make me less an American, or less willing to be one.

Taxpayers Tell Congress: No State Bailouts!
Jim Kouri CPP (11/18/08)
As Congress reconvened on Monday for a lame-duck session, lawmakers no doubt are being inundated with requests for more federal giveaways on the taxpayer's dime -- the latest of which is a new spending plan that would provide bailout funds to states and localities.
'Editorial: Status Of Forces In Irag Means Sharia Law For Our Troops?'
Editor (11/17/08)
Every bureaucratic idiot that endorsed this scheme should be forced to serve in Iraq and face the consequences!

Demercrats: Save The Auto Union Slugs To Hell With The Economy
Malcolm Hedges (11/17/08)
American Auto industry management has by no means done a great job, the Demercrats whacko Greeenism Rules and outrageous UAW demands and rules are equally at fault.
NACOP: Acid Attack by Taliban Shape of Things to Come
Jim Kouri CPP (11/17/08)
It's a measure of the enemy in Afghanistan that Taliban terrorists attacked girls walking to school in Afghanistan on Nov. 12 by throwing acid in their faces, a senior Defense Department official said today.
Controlling A Nations Economy Means Controlling That Nation's People
Guest Author: J. D. Longstreet (11/17/08)
The title to this article was taken from one of Ronald Reagan's speeches. It is as true as truth gets. Ronald Reagan, the icon of the conservative movement in America, understood the fundamental truth of the Founding Fathers of America.
MSNBC Pronounces Auto Industry 'Needs' Bailout, Says Republicans Tell Industry to 'Drop Dead'
Warner Todd Huston (11/17/08)
Well, I guess that settles it. We don't need any political discussion or economist's studies. The auto industry officially needs a bailout. It's just a fact. After all, MSNBC and BusinessWeek have just said it. The auto industry "needs" one(1) or it cannot survive. Oh, yeah, and MSNBC is also informing the world that Republicans have told auto workers to "drop dead." I think this is what the Old Media calls "news."
The True Christian Approach to the Obama Presidency
Michael Bresciani (11/17/08)
There has been an obvious lull in reporting, articles and pundit-cy on even the most conservative and Christian sites. The right and the evangelicals are repositioning while the left is on what some are predicting will be a long and illustrious honeymoon. What should Christians really do?
Democrat Presidential Hopefuls Admit They'll Try to Con Americans
Liberals Really Were Spying for the Soviets
"The official thermometers at the U.S. National Climate Data Center show a slight global cooling trend over the
last seven years, from 1998 to 2005."
'Obama's Bumble?'
Thomas Lindaman (11/17/08)
Unless you've been living under a rock or are Paris Hilton, you know that Senator Barack Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States. Of course, you'd never know it by how Democrats are moping about. (For the Obama fans out there, that’s called sarcasm.) With Obama's election victory on the books, he can now start figuring out how to make his vague campaign promises into slightly less vague policy. And with the Democrats expanding their control in Congress, that should be a cinch, right?
I feel your pain, Rosie, Ellen and Melissa
Guest Author: Marsha West (11/17/08)
On November 4th California upheld traditional marriage by passing Proposition 8 by a half million votes, thus amending the state’s constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman. The homosexual community is not taking this lying down. Before the week was out bitter gay-rights activists challenged the will of the people with litigation.
Palestine, President Peres and Poppycock
OffSite (11/17/08)
"The President seems to extend executive privilege way out past the atmosphere. What he says is executive privilege is nothing but executive poppycock.” - Sam Ervin - Israel’s President -Shimon Peres - has seriously undermined Israel’s national interest in his endorsement of the 2002 Arab League Initiative proposing a comprehensive peace with Israel and the 22 members of the Arab League.
The New President of A.S.S.
Jack L. Key (11/17/08)
Workin’ on the “change” gang. . . . Well, November 4 has come and gone and the American people have a new President-elect. The hard campaign months are over, and now we can look for some BIG changes, as promised by the winning black socialist headed for the Oval Office.
Global Socialists Toast Victory over America
Cliff Kincaid (11/17/08)
The American people may be losing their jobs and savings, but on Friday night, on the eve of the international financial summit, they provided President Bush and other G20 leaders a lavish banquet that included $300-a-bottle wine, Vermont Brie, eggplant fondue, and rack of lamb. Details of the “culinary delights” and “sumptuous feast” provided to the politicians who departed their black limousines were included in wire service stories. They were toasting the demise of America as a global economic and military superpower and planning to loot another trillion dollars from U.S. taxpayers.
Pond Scum And Trailer Trash: Real Americans In The Eyes Of Progressive Socialists
Malcolm Hedges (11/16/08)
Progressive Socialist Elites consider the average American to be sub-human and just a drag on the society. They love to bid for their votes at election time, otherwise any contact with the American base is considered to be below their station in life.
The Big Lie About Immigration Enforcement
Jim Kouri CPP (11/16/08)
How many times have we heard mayors and governors, when faced with complaints regarding illegal aliens, claim that their police officers aren't authorized or trained to enforce immigration laws? Too many times, if you ask me. Well, either these government leaders are too ignorant to to hold office or they're out-and-out lying to the American people.
'If Not Now, When?'
David Tatosian (11/16/08)
The Republican conservative umbrella seems to cover a dazzling array of individuals; from columnists at the NY Times to Republican Senatorial lyricists, to the sharia promoting Grover Norquist to that greatest of compassionate conservatives, George Bush.
'Welcome To Obamaburger. May I Take Your Money?'
Guest Author: J.J. Jackson (11/15/08)
Behind the counter is an Obamaburger employee busily filing her fingernails and who barely looks up as a young man approaches her, bypassing a longer line at another register which does not seem to be moving. "Welcome to Obamaburger. May I take your money?" she asks listlessly.
Counterfeit Marriage and its Counterfeit Movement
Guest Author: Matt Barber (11/15/08)
With a unified voice amplified several million-fold through the ballot box megaphone, African-Americans have spoken on the issues of marriage, family and human sexuality. Whether young or old, male or female, Democrat or Republican, blacks are justifiably fed up with the deceptive antics of the self-described and craftily contrived "gay rights movement."
Demercrat Progressive Socialists Anticipate and Expect A 'Ruler': Obama
Malcolm Hedges (11/14/08)
Rulers are generally Kings or Queens or political demagogues or dictators. Since Obama is not a King (an not an obvious Queen) therefore it follows they must be expecting a Commissar political demagogue or dictator.
Obama and Hole-Digging Rule Number One
Guest Author: J. D. Longstreet (11/14/08)
The first Rule of Hole Digging is: When you find yourself in one. . . . stop digging! Obama didn't do that and now he is in too deep. His obvious ineptness in foreign affairs has led to a blunder that will surely come back to haunt him when he tries his hand at a reconciliation of the mess between Israel and the so-called Palestinians. On the home front, his promises of tax cuts for the Middle-Class grow more impossible each time the sun slips above the horizon. So far, the only thing impressive about our new President Elect is his ability to paint himself into a corner and look good while doing it.
Buffalo News Supporting Silencing of Righty Radio Talkers
Warner Todd Huston (11/13/08)
Douglas Turner of the Buffalo News wants conservative radio talkers silenced(1). He calls them "virulent," "violent" and "coarse" and hopes that starting January 1 the "work of flushing" them will begin. Turner fills his little anti-free speech screed with claims and a few examples of how rotten he thinks righty talkers are and how they need to be shut down, yet can't seem to find a single cross word to say about the "coarseness" of lefty talkers. In other words, it is plain that "coarseness" or "one-sided" radio isn't really a concern of his. Only eliminating the free speech of the right is his goal not any leveling of the playing field.
Looking Forward To The Next Presidential Election
Guest Author: Wayne Lela (11/13/08)
Back in 2004 Newsweek's Washington editor Evan Thomas conceded that the liberally biased coverage John Kerry's presidential campaign received was worth about five percentage points in the election that Bush won. (Thomas's concession was noted in a National Review article by John O'Sullivan, "The Limits of Media Bias," Nov. 29, 2004, p. 46.) In other words, if the coverage of that election by the dominant liberal media had been fair, Bush likely would have beaten Kerry much more easily.
The Grim Significance of the 2008 Elections
Christopher Adamo (11/13/08)
Perhaps the most disheartening reaction to the November 4 election of Barack Obama has been the attempt by conservatives to laud his victory as some sort of worthy racial milestone in American history. This lame effort to find conciliatory ground with the far left will ultimately prove futile. Worse yet, it lends an air of credibility to a malignant and corrupt political machine that threatens the very future of America and thus deserves no such tribute.
Sarah Palin is the Israel of American Politics
Aaron Goldstein (11/13/08)
Sarah Palin has supplanted George W. Bush as the most polarizing figure in American politics. This despite the fact Bush has not yet left the White House.

The Government Has Destroyed The Economy
Malcolm Hedges (11/12/08)
The Demercrats got the ball rolling, the stupid bailout scheme is finishing the job.
Worse than Socialism
Bruce Walker (11/12/08)
During the presidential campaign and in the post-election analysis many conservatives have lamented impending socialism. It is not clear if Obama and his fellow Democrats could implement a truly socialist agenda. It is not even clear if Obama and his party truly want socialism. The very rich tend to be the looniest Leftists. Do they really want the government taking their wealth away?
Foreword to Hamas vs. Fatah: The Struggle for Palestine
Daniel Pipes (11/12/08)
Divisions among Palestinians generally do not receive their due attention, Jonathan Schanzer correctly points out, in the immense academic and journalistic coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Instead, an official, propagandistic, and inaccurate party line holds sway.
'Is Thanking Our Veterans on Veterans Day Just Lip Service?'
Jack L. Key (11/12/08)
Yesterday, November 11, 2008 was Veterans Day.
10 Things The RNC Can Do To Keep From Imploding
John Longenecker (11/12/08)
I've been saying this since 2004. - The Liberty Nuts, Part VII - I am very ware that many of the now 90 Million gun owners in America do not really identify with the Republicans, but here is something all of America needs to look at. As a major party, the Republicans have by weakness betrayed an important trust, and as a party, all are about to implode for just that. How can there be any association of patriotism when so many certainly had their chance all along to speak up? Without being at all uncivil, identifying the problem is very useful in rebuilding the party more than anything else is useful. Let’s begin here. .
Editorial: Mismanaged Cities Yell For Help
Editor (11/11/08)
Mush-minded city officials are asking for bailouts to continue their fiefdoms.
President-Elect Obama Poster Boy For The Demercrat Socialists
Malcolm Hedges (11/11/08)
Demercrat Socialists needed a Presidential Candidate for 2008 that could frankly bluff his way into office. A few years ago they found such a possible candidate, the rest is history.
'Preparation: Recession, Depression, or Panic?'
Guest Author: Don Boys (11/11/08)
It was a fantastic year when the stock market boomed and major U.S. companies made huge profits in domestic and foreign markets. New technology totally changed many industries, and financial pundits told us that we were on the edge of a new level of prosperity. Politicians, business leaders, and economists told us that the future was incredibly bright. No, that was not in recent years but in 1929! From May of 1928 to September of 1929, stocks jumped forty percent! In fact, trading in 1929 was more than twice that of 1928.
