President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have led increasingly successful efforts to pit Americans against one another through the politics of hate and envy. Attacking CEO salaries, the president - last year during his Midwest tour - said, "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." Let's look at CEO salaries, but before doing so, let's look at other salary disparities between those at the bottom and those at the top. According to Forbes' Celebrity 100 list for 2010, Oprah Winfrey earned $290 million. Even if her makeup person or cameraman earned $100,000, she earned thousands...

Media Liberals on 'JournoList' Plotted to Bury the Jeremiah Wright Story in 2008 By Tim Graham Created 07/20/2010 - 08:14 The Daily Caller [1] has another scoop on the leftist JournoList e-mails today, recalling when liberal scribes all wanted the Jeremiah Wright story to be dead and buried in the spring of 2008.

When terrorists attacked on Sept. 11, they killed Americans and destroyed infrastructure, but they did not directly damage America. Surprised? Consider the fact America is a concept - an idea about how people can and ought to govern themselves, crafted by visionary men at a critical time in world history.

And it did. In the 200-plus years since their time, Americans fine-tuned and adapted that model to give us modern America -...

by Mark Finkelstein August 15, 2006 - 10:06 Those mean-spirited Republicans. They're all about the politics of hate. And now this! Can you imagine, calling a political opponent an "evil, authoritarian, crypto-fascist puppet master"? Wait a sec. That wasn't a Republican. It's a Huff Poster describing Dick Cheney. Oh, and for good measure he calls President Bush "a smiling, dry alcoholic with sadistic tendencies." The author in question is one Larry Beinhart, who, as per his web page, is a member in good standing of the liberal establishment: Fulbright Fellow, novelist and screenplay writer, written for Newsday, LA Times, International...

ATLANTA, GA – Ralph Reed today issued the following statement on John Kerry’s divisive attack on the third anniversary of September 11: "John Kerry's use of the parable of the Good Samaritan to condemn the President on the third anniversary of the September 11th attacks crosses a line that is sad to witness. Prior to yesterday's attack by Senator Kerry, our national political leaders had refrained from political bickering on the anniversary of that tragic day. It is upsetting to see Senator Kerry break that unspoken observance, and sad too that he would choose to use people's faith to do...
