The Muslim Hijacking of Ground Zero

Posted on by Donald Douglas

This Ground Zero controversy is shaping up as a defining political and security issue in American politics, timed perfectly for the 9th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

Redefining redefining marriage

Posted on by Ron Coleman

Let’s get real simple here. The crux of the issue is whether, if indeed marriage is a right under the Constitution, there is also a right to change the meaning of the word “marriage” from what it always meant to what we just plain want it to mean. In other words, the “marriage” that is […]

Narrative and the Memory of War

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

“It is a measure of the power of narrative that we publicly grieve more for the deaths of our enemies than those of our allies in a war that is now fading quickly from human memory,” the blogger Tigerhawk writes.

Katie Couric: Sean Hannity Without the Integrity

Shockingly, Democrats Receive No Political Lift From Stimulus

Posted on by William Teach

Among the inside the beltway political class and ObamaZombies, the Stimulus, otherwise known as the Generation Theft Act (alternatively known as the Pissing Money Down A Deep Well With Little Return Act), has been a super awesome magical piece of legislation, so, they are often clueless as to why it is so darned un-popular and […]
