“Have you considered running for office?” — David Stone The short answer: No. The longer answer: As a general rule, bloggers, columnists, and talk radio hosts shouldn’t run for office.

Defining our terms when we speak about Egypt

A lot of people keep talking about a desire for a “democratic” Egypt. I hate to say it but, with the word “democratic” as the starting point, that’s not a very useful discussion. The dictionary definition of a “democracy” is as follows: government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power […]

Newly minted West Virginia Senator, Democrat Joe Manchin, ran for office denigrating Obama’s take over of our national healthcare system with his Obamacare law.

Ecofascist Teacher Makes Example of Six-Year-Old

To instill eco-obedience, our moonbat rulers have to start young, before we're capable of realizing that their rules are arbitrary and meaningless, serving only as an excuse to exercise coercion for the sake of coercion.
