The left, including Obama, abandons women in Afghanistan

Want to see a real “war on women?” Wait until 2014 when U.S and NATO forces effectively leave Afghanistan to the whims of the bloodthirsty Taliban. The savagery will make the alleged Republican sins against women — as politically motivated Democrats have charged — pale in comparison. The Taliban’s strict enforcement of Sharia law, or Islamic law, has resulted in what can... Read more »

Obama's past behavior not an issue, but Romney's is?

Word that billionaire Chicago Cubs owner Joe Ricketts planned to bankroll a campaign ad that highlighted the  race-baiting by President Barack Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., has occasioned  wide-ranging and well-publicized denunciations, even from the apparent Republican nominee Mitt Romney. For some, Obama seemingly cannot escape his past. Same for Romney. Allegations that Romney bullied... Read more »

Barack Obama wins World War II

Well, no. But President Obama does equate what he has “accomplished” with the achievements of presidents as far back as Calvin Coolidge.

While the inevitability of same-sex marriage now is a given — the only question remaining is when — I’m still trying to locate the why. When President Barack Obama last week endorsed same-sex marriage, the perception grew that the only thing holding back the eventual, but certain, legalization of same-sex marriage is the resistance of...

The media's hijacking of pro-life activist Chen Guangcheng's message

Whatever fate awaits pro-life activist Chen Guangcheng, we know two things for sure: The Chinese tyrants will continue to force women to kill their wanted children. And President Barack Obama, who has ramped up the campaign fiction that Republicans have declared a “war on women,” will continue the detente with the real war on women... Read more »

Huffington calls Obama's bin Laden ad 'despicable'

If liberal icon Arianna Huffington calls Obama’s new TV ad saying that he got Osama bin Laden and Mitt Romney might not have if he had been president, just how wacky can the ad be? She said: Appearing on “CBS This Morning,” she said, “Using the Osama bin Laden assassination, killing, the great news that we... Read more »

Why are those who yearn for moderate government called extremists?

Following the example of my sometimes debating partner, Tribune commentator Eric Zorn, I was skimming through my column archives and came across a Chicago Tribune column I liked when I wrote it, and still like. It was written two years ago, but applies today as much to America’s upset caused by the overreach of government... Read more »

Byrne v. Zorn: This election is about emancipation

This is one of my periodic debates with Chicago Tribune op-ed columnist Eric Zorn. It also is posted here in Zorn’s blog, “Change of Subject: The Rhubarb Patch.” You can post your comments here or on Eric’s blog–or, if you’re feeling so moved, on both.

NBC asks: Did Dick Cheney really deserve that heart?

You knew that someone would ask that question, and NBC did. Even though he waited longer than the typical recipient. I guess we now can judge who “deserves” a transplanted organ by their political views. Can’t wait until ObamaCare when bureaucrats will make that decision. Here’s a comment on it from TownHall.com...
