USA Effectively Goes to War in Alliance With Al Qaeda

The unthinkable is official: the United States government is allied with Al Qaeda. The Obama administration has concluded that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government used chemical weapons against the rebels seeking to overthrow him and, in a major policy shift, President Obama has decided to supply military support to the rebels, the White House announced […]

Activism, Not Journalism? Radical Filmmaker Laura Poitras Shares Washington Post Byline on NSA Story

The Washington Post recently made waves with a story on the National Security Agency’s domestic data mining project “Prism,” but interestingly one of the co-authors of the article is a radical, left-wing filmmaker who has been a loud critic of U.S. counterterrorism policies. The article, “U.S., British intelligence mining data from nine U.S. Internet companies […]

Interviewing Helen Smith On: “Men on Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream – and Why It Matters.”

Helen Smith is one of the best writers in the business about men’s rights issues and her new book, Men on Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream – and Why It Matters, is a must-read masterpiece on the subject. I was very pleased to get the opportunity to interview Helen […]

Barack Obama’s “Social Innovation” Slush Fund

We all know now what the vengeful Obama IRS has been doing to conservative nonprofits the past four years: strangling them in the crib. But do you know how much pampering and largesse far-left welfare-state charities have received while limited-government groups suffered? You don’t know the half of it. Before President Obama took office, I […]

Welcome to AMERICAN CULTURE

As Americans, it’s fair to say that we find ourselves not just in times of uncertainty, but many of us wake up every day to find a little bit more of our culture, our way of life, perhaps the American Dream itself disappearing before our eyes. There’s no shame in admitting that it’s scary. The […]

This Week In Quotes Double Edition: May 31 — June 13

Republicans are using [the IRS scandal] as their latest weapon in the war against the black man in the White House. IRS” is the new ‘N****r.’” — Martin Bashir I’m telling you, America, if we don’t stop this right now, we will be remembered as the most evil nation in history of the world. We […]

Freedom: The unfolding revolution

“Why are there no libertarian countries?” In a much-discussed essay for Salon magazine, Michael Lind asks: “If libertarians are correct in claiming that they understand how best to organize a modern society, how is it that not a single country in the world in the early twenty-first century is organized along libertarian lines?” Such is […]

Distrust of Government Is What It’s All About

Another week, another controversy in official Washington. At the moment, 35 percent of voters consider recently exposed National Security Agency surveillance efforts as the most serious. The Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservatives is No. 2 on the list, followed by concerns about the Obama administration’s handling of the incident in Benghazi last fall in […]

Bureaucrat-Controlled Thermostats on the Way

What are progressives progressing toward? Absolute control of every aspect of your existence. Close cooperation between politicians and the major corporations that bankroll them in return for relatively favorable regulations has allowed the rate of progress to increase, as seen by the collusion of Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, et al. in the brazenly unconstitutional […]

Obamacare Is Causing An 88 Percent Insurance Hike In Ohio

Conservatives fought Obamacare tooth and nail. We tried to warn people. We told them that the whole bill was being sold with lies. Most Americans believed us and the rest should now because every prediction about how disastrous Obamacare was going to be is being proven true. Just look at what’s happening to insurance costs […]

If The GOP Is This Stupid, It Deserves To Die

Democrats terrify Hispanics into thinking they’ll be lynched if they vote for Republicans, and then turn around and taunt Republicans for not winning a majority of the Hispanic vote. This line of attack has real resonance with our stupidest Republicans. (Proposed Republican primary targets: Sens. Kelly Ayotte, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.) Which […]

Young IT Guys Who Knew Too Much

Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald wrote that Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former intelligence analyst who leaked information on huge U.S. data mining operations, “will go down in history as one of America’s most consequential whistleblowers.” House Speaker John Boehner called Snowden “a traitor.” Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein railed that he had committed “treason.” My […]

Obama Demonstrates the Evil of Big Government

The scandals surrounding the Obama administration come down to one common theme — that the ever-growing size and scope of our federal government gives it enormous power over virtually every aspect of our lives, power that in the wrong hands can be used to reward supporters, exact revenge and punish enemies. In education, health care, […]

America’s Vast Margin Of Error

The Obama administration is facing scandals everywhere — using the IRS to punish political enemies, seizing the phone records of Associated Press and Fox News reporters, monitoring phone and email accounts of millions, and making up stories about what happened in Benghazi. In other words, the sort of government overreach that hardly raises eyebrows in […]

Foreign affairs

Ever since President Clinton “did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky,” whatever remains of standards seem to have fallen even lower among people who hold offices and positions once thought to require good behavior and strong moral character. Last year, several Secret Service agents left the agency amid scandal after allegedly engaging […]

The Left’s Phony Defense of Freedom

There are many idealistic progressives who’ve remained opposed to the National Security Agency’s data mining programs regardless of who is in the White House. (We can’t surrender our freedom for safety, you know!) It’s only a shame that these same people have such little reverence for constitutional liberties in other areas of public life. Really, […]

The End Of The GOP

It seems that the Grand Old Party is intent on committing suicide — no matter how hard conservative Americans or Tea Party Patriots try to turn the party around, the politicians in power just put on their blinders and press on, taking the party in a direction that will only turn people away.:  In an […]
