Obama’s Planned Parenthood Love Fest
by Dr. Paul Kengor
“I love you!” shouted one of the rapturous faithful at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington. “I love you back,” responded the proud recipient, President Barack Obama. The uncontrollable adulation, the outpouring of genuine love, he said, was making him blush. Obama regretted to the ladies that he had missed their “party” the night […]

God for Obamacare … Dr. Ben Carson’s Heresy
by Dr. Paul Kengor
by Dr. Paul Kengor on Feb 14, 2013 in Columnists, Featured, Government & Politics, Law & Justice, The Social Order
Liberals are apoplectic over remarks by Dr. Ben Carson at the National Prayer Breakfast. Carson, a prominent pediatric surgeon from Johns Hopkins University, dared to weigh in on healthcare—something he knows something about. In the liberal mind, Carson committed a grave transgression; he disagreed with President Obama on healthcare at a faith venue, and in […]
The End of the Reagan Era?
by Dr. Paul Kengor
With Barack Obama’s second inauguration, liberals are touting an altogether new epoch: the end of the Reagan era. Unfortunately, I believe they are largely correct. We are witnessing a period of left-wing ascendance, marked by gay marriage, forced taxpayer funding of abortion, an exploding government class, and big government. As to the latter, Ronald Reagan […]
Slouching From Gomorrah: Remembering Robert Bork

It has been a couple of weeks since the death of Robert Bork, which occurred shortly before Christmas and didn’t really get the news coverage that Bork merited. Bork died at age 85. In 1987, he became a national headline when President Ronald Reagan nominated him to the Supreme Court. He was a judicial conservative, […]
America’s Growing Government Class
by Dr. Paul Kengor
by Dr. Paul Kengor on Dec 16, 2012 in Columnists, Featured, Government & Politics, The Economy, The Social Order
The latest unemployment figures are again depressing, but not for the usual reasons. They provide further confirmation of Barack Obama’s fundamental transformation of America, specifically through his creation of a growing government class. The numbers show a massive increase in government jobs created over the last five months—621,000, to be exact, dwarfing private-sector job growth. […]
Executive Privilege: The 2012 Election and the Power of Incumbency
by Dr. Paul Kengor
Mitt Romney lost the presidential race by only two percentage points. If the election had been held just a week earlier, when he was up in the polls, things might have been different. Nonetheless, Mitt Romney lost, and now a bitter debate has ensued over the future of the Republican Party, with liberal Democrats happily […]
America’s Fundamental Transformation
by Dr. Paul Kengor
Timing is everything in politics. For four years, I angered conservatives by insisting Barack Obama would get reelected. I figured that an electorate willing to elect a man with ideas and a record that far to the left in 2008 would do so again. I began changing my view, however, after the first presidential debate. […]
Joe Biden Makes History
by Dr. Paul Kengor
Joe Biden’s antics against Paul Ryan have taken a few days to sink in, and should take longer still. For starters, try to imagine being Paul Ryan last Thursday [Oct. 11th]: a young politician in the hot seat, the eyes of the world pressing upon him, as he tries to make succinct statements in a […]
President Obama and the ‘Intelligence Brief’ Scandal
by Dr. Paul Kengor
The last few weeks have produced many intriguing political moments, but none as shocking as the revelation that President Obama has been absent from the vast majority of his daily intelligence briefings. According to a study by the Government Accountability Institute, Obama failed to attend a single Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) in the week leading up […]
God, Democrats, and the Europeanization of America
by Dr. Paul Kengor
The battle at the Democratic convention to exclude God from the party’s platform is no minor moment. Do not underestimate what transpired there. And while it speaks to so many things, at many levels, it reminds me of the recent battle within the European Union to exclude God from the EU constitution. That comparison is […]
