Herman Cain to address CORE MLK dinner in New York
Radio talk show host Herman Cain recently announced his intention to form a presidential exploratory committee for the 2012 Republican nomination.

Liberals continue to play armchair psychiatrists
Regardless of the mounting evidence that the alleged Tucson shooter Jared Lee Loughner was not inspired by talk-radio or "right wing rhetoric" to go to a Tucson shopping center and shoot at both private citizens, a federal judge, and Democratic Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, liberals continue to spread the myth that conservatives are the cause of violence.
Lawful gun owners become the target yet again
As a result of last weekend’s massacre in Tucson that left Arizona Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords fighting for her life and six people murdered, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have already proposed further gun control legislation. While it was unsurprising that gun control advocate Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, New York Democrat, was one of the first to propose such legislation, fellow New Yorker Rep. Peter King, a Republican, has proposed a bill that would make it unlawful to carry a legal firearm within 1000 feet of a member of Congress. Congresswoman Giffords herself is a gun owner herself. She, in fact, told The New York Times in a 2010 interview, she is the proud owner of the now vilified and very popular Glock model caliber weapon that Mr. Loughner used last Saturday. “I have a Glock 9 millimeter, and I’m a pretty good shot,” she said. Other than revolvers, the Glock is actually pretty popular among females, particularly instructors, who shoot firearms. Ms. Giffords represents the rising demographic of women, including myself, who have shot the well-favored Glock.

Dupnik's own daughter faced drug charges, but did he find her help?
Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has managed to place himself in the media spotlight by blaming the political and media climate as the reason for last weekend's Tucson's massacre. In fact, the Pima County Sheriff went as far as to blame talk radio host Rush Limbaugh for the tragic shooting that took the lives of six and wounded 14. However, if Sheriff Dupnik is willing to use this line of logic, is he then willing to take responsibility for the fact that his own adult daughter was arrested on drug charges in his own county?

Mentally ill hidden by liberal 'good intentions', revealed by public tragedy
