Opinion | Morgan Liddick: The illusion of choice
So Democrats have dragged a corpse across the finish line in our presidential election. Hate did the heavy lifting, together with fear and threats, all time-tested tools of the Democratic Party. Credit for an assist goes... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: On the government we made

Opinion | Morgan Liddick: Presidential debate, Round 2
The second and last presidential candidate debate happened Thursday. It was, to quote author Douglas Adams, “Mostly harmless.” Joe Biden managed to stay awake and semiresponsive through most of it, and President Donald Trump didn’t bite... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: A conservative’s guide to your ballot
Early voting has begun in Colorado so go do it, everyone. As a helpful hint, following are a few considerations when one is face-to-face with the ballot. For U.S. Senate, Sen. Cory Gardner. This is... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: A more orderly vice presidential debate
The vice presidential debate in Utah was orderly, at least. One could hear the participants, which might be bad for Kamela Harris. Her repertoire consisted of canned attacks, stale half-truths, fibs bigger than Mount Elbert,... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: Thoughts on the first debate
It’s never pretty when three grown men act in ways that would shame a sleep-deprived 5-year-old. It’s worse when two of them think being a naughty child is the best way to be elected president and... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: What Republicans believe
A correspondent recently asked what, in the absence of a party platform, did Republicans really believe? There are at least two problems with the question. First, the party does indeed have a platform. After a bit... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: Trump’s foreign policy successes
The Middle East, that most restive part of a restive world, is a bit calmer today thanks to President Donald Trump. For those living under a pile of “Orange Man Bad” signs, this might be... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: On the brink of electoral mayhem
Get ready. We are about to see the nastiest presidential race for a long time. Already the torrent of exaggeration, misrepresentation, half-truths and outright falsehoods has begun. In the past, we could rely on a... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: Trump’s COVID actions a good example of federalism
Joe Biden’s claims that he would have dealt with COVID-19 far better than President Donald Trump — claims that suggest he has forgotten both the president’s early efforts and his own denunciation of them as... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: GOP presents forward-looking proposals for a bright future
We’ve now seen the Republican convention: A celebration of America, which the president’s party sees as a good and blessed place. Not without its flaws certainly; the nation is a creation of humans, prone to human weaknesses. But... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: Democratic Party platform a toxic stew
The Democrats’ virtual convention is over. I’m not sure which was worse, their tacit acknowledgement that their hopes for victory rely on hatred for the current president or the window-dressing of policies thrown up to... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: Kamala Harris and her lies
So, it’s Sen. Kamala Harris. A more apt symbol of the Democratic Party’s campaign of hate and rage against the president and of the tactics it employs couldn’t be imagined. We saw her during the Brett... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: The drive for power
Remember the infamous memorial service for Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone, who died while campaigning during the contentious 2002 off-year elections? Wellstone was a popular middle-of-the-road Democrat, back in the days when we had those, and on... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: Should the best person for a job get it regardless of gender or race?
The New York Philharmonic thought so. It was one of many U.S. orchestras that adopted blind auditions in the 1970s to eliminate discrimination in selecting musicians. A candidate would play for judges from behind a... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: The Kims and Trump
Last week, nothing happened in U.S.-North Korean relations. Nothing happened the week before, either. Nor for a while before that. Which is a good thing and an illustration of how President Donald Trump’s Korean policy... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: America’s ‘original sin’
Let’s talk slavery. It’s often termed our country’s “original sin,” which presidential candidate Joe Biden opines “still stains our country.” It’s a clever turn of phrase, designed to virtue signal to certain Democratic Party audiences and... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: A tale of 2 revolutions
Now that the beer and brats have somewhat settled and the political boilerplate and pretended indignation it generates have faded a bit, it may be time to really consider the great gift our country’s founders... → Read More
Opinion | Morgan Liddick: Wrecking history
The erasure of our country’s history continues at the hands of a mob of the professionally enraged, who as true Vandals know nothing of what they smash save that it produces a satisfying thud. Consider... → Read More
