Neo-Marxist Rhetoric From Zillionaire Hillary

The hypocrisy is enough to unhinge your jaw. Fresh on the heels of learning that Slick Willie and Shrillary have raked in a staggering $2 billion through their notoriously corrupt Clinton Foundation, we read this: Hillary Clinton, under pressure from the left wing of her Democratic Party to aggressively campaign against income inequality, voiced concern […]

Tax Day and Your Fair Share

If you look up from your work on Tax Day to see a bloated, hostile federal government that refuses to honor even its most basic responsibilities such as securing the border from foreign incursion, you may ask yourself, “What the hell am I paying taxes for?” The answer: So that others don’t have to. According […]

Crayle Vanest Is Standing Up for Gun Rights On Campus

by Gabriella Hoffman Here at Counter Cultured, we are inclined to give our fellow right-minded Millennials the spotlight if they are doing big things. Our movement grows when we have more passionate voices–not fewer voices. One Millennial worth profiling is Crayle Vanest, a 22-year-old Indiana University senior passionate about the Second Amendment.  Crayle currently serves as […]

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Poverty Voyeurism

Gwynnie P is down with the struggle, comrades. She may make $19 million a year, own mansions in London, New York, Brentwood, Malibu and the Hamptons, charge $550 for her Goop.com “travel backgammon set,” and fly by private jet, but she feels your pain. OK, it’s not as painful as her last $5,200 Thermage session […]

Freedom of and from Religion

Religious oppression was one reason many of our ancestors came to America. They wanted to escape rulers who demanded that everyone worship their way. In Ireland, Catholics couldn’t vote or own a gun. I assumed that because many of America’s founders came here to escape such repression, they were eager to allow religious freedom in […]

Reality May Be Optional

One of the wonders of modern times is that reality is often seen as a social construct and therefore optional. Thus, if one finds a particular reality offensive or inconvenient, he just “changes” it. Say that one is born a male or a female but believes that nature made an error. Some believe that nature’s […]

Why Did Hillary Announce?

Hillary’s announcement seems aimed at attracting no publicity and providing no bump in her sagging poll numbers. No hoopla. No crowds. No women talking about the history being made. Just a stealth car trip to Iowa with tweets from gas stations. All this would seem defensive in the extreme. It would appear that she is […]

Hell in the Hole

Bernard Kerik, who headed New York City’s jails and then the Police Department before a felony conviction landed him in federal prison for four years, is reinventing himself as a prison reformer. In his new book, “From Jailer to Jailed,” Kerik describes the brutality of solitary confinement. Serious reformers are also zeroing in on the […]

America can’t afford another ‘domestic’ president

PARIS — As U.S. political focus turns to declarations of presidential candidacies, there needs to be a deliberate effort to avoid a repeat of the “Obama adventure.” Remember how Obama was supposed to be some kind of benign political homemaker who, unlike his predecessor, George W. Bush, was going to wrap up overseas military engagements, […]

Obama coalition isn’t a coupon that Hillary can redeem for votes

In news only slightly more surprising than this morning’s sunrise, Hillary Rodham Clinton announced she is running for president again. The announcement came in the form of a clever video in which Clinton says she wants to be a champion for “everyday Americans” — an obviously focus-grouped term intended to replace “middle class.” I like […]
