The first salvos have already been fired in the battle to save America. And no, they weren't fired from anywhere in Washington D.C., from members of Congress or from Republican Party headquarters More

Are there are no circumstances whatsoever in which some future American government would ever turn feral? Are we willing to stake the lives of our children and grandchildren on that assertion? More

A few notes on journalistic ethics (don't laugh!) More

If President Obama is truly the "Reagan of the Left," then it's only fair to ask: What does Obama consider "evil" and an "evil empire?" More

Two obvious trial balloons floated in recent days by Washington-based columnists announcing -- sort of -- that the Obama Administration intends to de-couple the United States from Israel and adopt a more independent attitude towards the Middle East More

Today's pop culture and university system are working hard turning sex into an open and public endeavor. More

It is unsurprising that a president who sees war primarily as "whack-a-mole" with drones would believe that women belong in all phases of combat. More

This is what we're facing: brilliant and creepy data analysis, a Chicago-machine GOTV ground game, a president unabashed in his demagoguery and a corrupt, biased media. More

Hagel has argued that any government (even an openly genocidal jihadist regime) possessing nuclear weapons would naturally respond to their new responsibility with common sense, prudence, and sanity. More

As republics inexorably begin their death swoons into full democracies, that great magnetic pull towards equality in all of its forms becomes culturally irresistible. More

From American Police Beat website: the average of seven same-sized city police response to a High-Priority 911 call is a staggering 11 minutes, 11 seconds. More

Focus and tenacity are levers to move the world. In contradistinction, hysteria and emotionality are the provenance of the Progressive caste. More

My right to own a gun helps to protect me from others with guns, while my right to buy whiskey does not protect me at all from drunk drivers and snookered hooligans. More

Most men vote on principle and most women vote for their children. So how does the GOP persuade women that voting for more free stuff is bad for their children? More

The media's lack of interest in the failings of Obama's first term leads to two obvious questions; first, why? ...and second, will this pattern of behavior change in his second term? More

Just when was it that public integrity ceased to matter? After some research, I came to an unexpectedly specific answer -- January 26, 1992. More

A clear demonstration of the severe problem facing our country resulting from the poor educational system we have underwritten for generations. More

The leaders of the State of Israel, according to NCIS, are into breeding decoy Palestinians rather than engaging in negotiation, and into motivating their own children to become ruthless killing machines dedicated to thwarting any peace efforts More

This week, the administration that rode to a second term decrying a fictitious war on women by the opposition, opened real fronts on the war on women, perpetuating feminism's worst inconsistencies More

When James Madison shaped and defended throughout 1787 the document which became our Constitution, he did not follow Montesquieu's most important admonitions, but rather presumed to "correct Montesquieu" in three cardinal ways. More

Although conceived in compassion, programs such as AFDC had the perverse consequence of driving the male from the home and causing the role of provider to fall upon Uncle Sam. More

Science is science because of experiments. If you can't define a repeatable experiment that can either prove or falsify a theory all you have is a theory; and theories are just smart men thinking. More

Why in the world, when our country is trillionsof dollars in debt, would we want to burden ourselves with increased debt in order to promote an educational philosophy that is at best controversial and at worst downright harmful? More

Barack Obama must be opposed, vocally and vociferously on all fronts -- confronted and ridiculed, just as he does to his opposition. More

Beginning from an inhuman premise -- namely that no individual has a right to self-preservation, they follow a train of reasoning that leads to a conclusion that is entirely logical, if you accept their initial premise. More

Why would politicians attempt to take away arms and surround themselves with bodyguards? To protect themselves against the crazy people, or against the sane people, who hope to keep their liberty and their lives? More

As of the end of 2012, the United States has experienced the worst five year period -- which includes, as the final four years, Obama's first full term -- since 1928-1932 and the start of the Great Depression. More

At best, ineffective, according to new studies. And, food stamp recipients have increased by an average of 11,133 per day under Obama. More

The government promises to love you. It can't. The code of a bureaucracy is not to become personally involved. So the promise of love from the government is a lie it uses to seduce the public. More

Surely only fuddy-duddy Uncle Tom black conservatives would have a problem with this show...right? More

The Benghazi coverup is not Hillary's first memory hole, nor even her biggest. More

Obama expects his second term to "give real meaning" to the Declaration of Independence, supposedly because it's been lacking until now. More

With his 23 executive actions on gun conrtol, President Obama is narrowing it down to one issue, guns, while ignoring critical factors such as mental illness, drugs, and violent entertainment. More

Liberals like to say "it's for the children" when it comes to...well, everything. But their actions speak far louder than their words. More

Throughout history, tyrants have used manufactured crises to rationalize the confiscation of citizens' lawful firearms. Obama is just the latest in a long line. More

Scientific progress supports the notion that a fetus within a womb represents a life. Therefore, the argument that the decision to end that life is simply matter of "choice" is ever more rejected by the public. More

What would a system of government specifically tailored to Christ's sermons actually look like? More

The Marxist notion of human progress is a spiral that would return humanity to stateless, moneyless, classless, and selfless collectivism. For that purpose they must, so to speak, put the genie of individualism back into the bottle. More

The enemies of the Bill of Rights have assumed they could exploit the blood of the murder victims to revive an agenda that had been put down hard in 2000. More

The moral champions of our educational system represent inculcation of bubble head standards that bear little or no resemblance to reality and common sense, inculcation that is comparable to brainwashing. More

Reports of the Tea Party's death have been greatly exaggerated -- and they're pretty nasty, too. More

For President Obama and others promoting the idea of man-caused global warming, any kind of plausible opposition to this issue imperils it, so they label crtiics as "deniers". Case closed. More

As much as the statists want you to love them, they want you to hate their opponents even more. More

If you want to view the concrete reality of today's political and media scene more clearly, just look at the case of a little radio show on a little radio station in a little town in the heart of Minnesota. More

In these latter days of the republic, a conservative is surely the equivalent of a bristling prophet sounding in the wilderness, calling the people to awaken and repent. More

People in both America and France are undergoing a renewed interest in the 18th century -- because they're reliving the 18th century's dilemmas. More

The purveyors of the diversity movement ask us to embrace the concept as a worthy goal and an important part of America's future. Should we join them? More

New York's Governor, Andrew Cuomo, has just shown why supporters of the Bill of Rights must use legal, nonviolent, and socially acceptable methods to destroy gun grabber organizations like the Million Mom March in 2000 and break political careers. More

The purpose of this is to intimidate parents and guardians into refusing any gun ownership to children. More

The philosophy of Barack Obama is a version of altruism called "egalitarianism." It is a philosophy not of political equality but a claim to equality in reality. It is a belief that we need to equalize the unfairness in nature. More

Farm Bureau is the insurance company that is the equivalent of AARP for farmers. It believes that it is the gatekeeper of all legislation affecting farmers. Protecting freedom and property rights evidently take a back seat. More

The difference between Reagan and Obama is that instead of doing what the Gipper did, which was to impart a measure of his own patriotic optimism to the country, Obama openly exposes his resentment. More

In defining the plight of America as the "greedy" wealthy, the president has failed to effectively solve any of our problems at all. And what about the greedy unions? More

The legitimization of infanticide constitutes a grave threat to the principle of human equality at the heart of civil rights ideals. More

A coordinated effort to paint American gun owners as crazed, government-hating lunatics, whose guns, used for sport, recreation, and defense are somehow a great danger to our society. More

By loudly proclaiming the threat of an ugly scenario, Democrats may hope to win everything they want without actually going through the fight. More

The fact that the founders did not know about AK-47s is irrelevant. In the context of the Second Amendment, "whatever it takes" is the correct answer to the "how much" question. More

Islamist subversives have laid roots in many American institutions, including the ACLU and even the Tea Party. What can be done? More

Today, we find religious freedom in grave jeopardy. Obviously, the HHS Mandate that forces Christians to subsidize abortion-producing drugs is the clearest example. But there is an avalanche of others. More

It seems that the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) crowd do some picking and choosing of data in order to try to support their position(s). Why don't we set the record straight? More

It's time to put a lid on all the baseless hysteria surrounding hydraulic fracturing. Phelim McAleer has taken a big step in the right direction. More

Republicans may be "blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh" of Lincoln's party, but that alone does not provide "the electric cord" to the man. Party and place mean nothing compared to policy and principle. More

In this tale of two men, one finds in microcosm the dilemma we face in a world of pain and transgression. In a sense more real than we at times can fathom, we are both Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert. More

Sometimes, committees simply lose their minds. This is clearly the case with the National Father's Day Council. The council has, unbelievably, voted to make Bill Clinton Father of the Year. More

Just as with methods, ideas can be dangerous, too. More

Will radical, iconoclastic leftists get their way again, as they seek to destroy another beautiful, stable, and honored tradition? More

Conservatives need to return to what built the conservative movement. We must now explain all over again to today's generation of voters how their tax dollars are being thrown away. More

There's very important part of the zero-sum theory which President Obama has consistently ignored. This is almost certainly by design. More

The slow, incremental dismantling of freedoms of association and freedom to bear arms in Austin and Travis County is a disgrace to the memories of Travis and Austin. More

Social Security is a burdensome inheritance for Americans, born in reckless political ambition and nurtured throughout the years by ignorant Utopian idealism. But nonetheless, it is a reality. More

On the other hand, turnabout is fair play... More

Let me translate: this was a big f-you to conservatives. In English this means: "liberals can act like punks, while conservatives speak up at their own peril." More

The CNN host is being either intellectually dishonest, or downright ignorant, if he thinks America should imitate the UK on gun control. More

So many things in our history are difficult to understand unless you can don the glasses through which leftists see the world. More

Does the explosive new film on the bin Laden raid accurately portray the trials our nation went through to find him? More

Do we already have gun laws on the books? Of course. We just need a few more, and as soon as we further restrict the millions of law-abiding citizens who have not committed crimes, these crimes will stop. More

Criminologist Gary Kleck estimates that 2.5 million Americans each year use guns for self-defense and that 400,000 of them say they would have been killed if they hadn't been armed. That's 400,000 a year. More

From every tier on the American political spectrum, voices are cascading down against the Hagel nomination. More

The word about negotiations is that Speaker Boehner has vowed not to negotiate one-on-one with President Obama anymore. It's about time. Now, here's how to do it right. More

Organized science has become another special interest group lobbying for government favors. Nowhere is this clearer than in the climate change debate. More

Texas v. White is often cited as a case which definitively and directly ruled on Texas' right to secede. That is not the case. Texas v. White was a case about government bonds. More

The man they chose to lead America's decline in the 21st century does not like America, abhors Israel, and resents those who achieve success in a democratic, capitalist society. More

The ability to kill is itself the social utility of guns. Killing is a legitimate activity in the right circumstances. If we can't make that argument, we won't preserve our freedoms. More

From the start, almost everything that we were originally and "officially" told by the Obama Administration about the Benghazigate "event" was false (i.e., a lie) or misleading or inadequate. More

The rule of law and the scientific method were developed precisely to protect human beings from the hazards of acting on raw emotion and ignorance. Democratic politicians and left-wing activists, on the other hand, thrive on these human vulnerabilities. More

A security idea both simple and acceptable to virtually all: lockable, bulletproof doors for classrooms and school entrances. More

The Republic of Georgia seems to have a mole influencing its position on "Palestine" -- and it's an American ambassador, acting in complete opposition to U.S. (but not necessarily Obama) policy. More

Hidden taxes/costs are increasing and quite meaningful to most American budgets today. These costs are not just largely hidden but are regressive in nature and have a greater impact on low wage earners and the elderly. More

I own a handgun today because of the experience of coming face to face with the evil that permeates some men's souls. More

Those who continue to live on the Russian Roulette principle with regard to progressives and their recent proposals -- "oh come on, surely they don't mean it literally" -- can take heart: your odds of survival are getting better More

Our side's goal in repelling the latest Democrat war on guns must be not to defend our constitutional rights, but rather to counterattack decisively. This is something the American people need to take very seriously. More

Using textbooks as propaganda is nothing new. Hitler filled the minds of German youth with vile depictions of Jews in textbooks. It continues today with Palestinian militants and their Western allies. More

Liberals say they want gun control because they want to end the bloodshed. But beware. What is at the heart of support for gun control is not love of men, but hatred for them. More

The liberal indoctrination plan to demonize the rich continues apace...this time in the form of college essays. More

One of the biggest threats to liberty is the deluge of laws based on good ideas and the best of intentions. More

Should conservatives and persons of faith simply withdraw from the public square, live our lives, and quietly await the inevitable collapse of what the indispensible Walter Russell Mead calls Blue State America? In fact, we could do nothing worse. More

The only real crisis at play here is a crisis of liberty More

As Venezuela hurtles toward a probable constitutional crisis if Hugo Chavez dies, the signs are very ominous about an Obama administration response. More

With the Benghazi official account breaking down like cheap cement with too much sand in the mix, we now know with near certainty that our very own Department of State has been recruiting and arming Al-Qaeda. S who are TSA and DHS looking for? More

It is not true that all murderers -- even all mass murderers -- suffer from diagnosable mental illness. More

America is exceptional, despite what our current president may think. It's not hard -- at least not for non-liberals -- to understand why. More

Instead of attacking his own party, perhaps Chris Christie should step back and think about the proper role of federal vs. local government. More

It's an article of faith among Democrats that Republicans are unscientific boobs stupidly opposing such established verities as anthropogenic global warming. Of course, this is nonsense. More

Who has confidence that there will be victory on the debt ceiling after such a humiliating and total defeat in which Republicans gave up their core issues of no taxation without spending cuts? More

Both Obama and the Congress knew for at least two years that the "fiscal cliff" was coming, yet did absolutely nothing about the situation. More

We yearn instead for a world in which individuals confront foes directly, without the burdens of diplomacy or compromise. More

What makes Lincoln such a sacred centerpiece of American memory is also what makes him such a dreadful protagonist in film. Lincoln might have been kinder to its eponymous hero had it libeled him; instead, it made him boring. More

It is not an overstatement to say that the Japanese intelligentsia has been an accessory to terrorist violence in the Middle East. More

There's an intruder in my building, and I need to figure out what to do. More

The California senator has an oddly selective way of expressing concern over murders in America. More

The looming debt ceiling fight could allow Republicans to soundly defeat Obama's overspending. Republicans could use the debt ceiling vote to stymie the president's spending plans. More

Let's see what a paltry $1,635 buys annually, shall we, Comrade Equality & Compassion? More

There's a simple way to make the conservative case when it comes to the debt ceiling -- but it will require courage. More

President Lincoln could never imagine voters supporting a president aborting liberty to bear anew America conceived in government. More

But if we redefine marriage for one group, there's no logical reason to deny other nonconformist advocates their right to do so, especially if they successfully argue their version of marriage on utilitarian grounds. More

The Middle East that is descending in an inchoate free fall back down onto the familiar ground of religious fundamentalism, primitive tribal society, and internecine warfare which that region of the world is so accustomed to. More

Who needs a constitution when professors take for granted the wisdom of the elites they have educated? More

A century and a half ago, something happened that affects us today. So why was the abolition of slavery in the United States (if that isn't a big deal, what is?) worthy of almost no attention when it marked its sesquicentennial on January first, 2013? More

I have the uneasy feeling that taxpayers -- more accurately, their descendants -- will be paying for my rollercoaster, and no one in New Jersey or in the media anywhere seems remotely troubled by it. More

The side that controls the language of an argument controls the argument, and the side that takes and maintains the offensive controls the entire conflict. Time for freedom-lovers to get in the game. More

President Obama needs to remember his Peace Prize and put his foot down firmly on the side of self-determination and freedom. More

The American Left, which thoroughly dominates the mainstream media, no longer believes, if it ever did, in the concept of reasonable and respectable people disagreeing in good faith on core issues. More

For four years, Barack Obama has worked diligently to disparage success. He has cultivated class envy using the false premise that the wealthy destroyed the nation and are deserving of monetary castigation. More

Here's why. More

The United States in 2012 re-elected a man, Barack Obama, who is self-centered, unprincipled, and arrogant. From the perspective of the rest of the world, this is increasingly the image of the United States in 2013. More

If you've been following the news you're certainly aware of the mass starvation and the huge number of people dying due to exposure to the elements in Texas, Florida, and the other states lacking a state income tax. Or maybe not. More

That horrific mass murders are occurring more frequently and are escalating in brutality -- if that is possible -- is due to the fact, not that we are legal gun owners, but that we are legal drug users. More

It comes a shock to discover that liberal Hollywood has provided a powerful response to the expanded presidential power sought by Barack Obama and other progressives. More

An important political, if not constitutional, question has arisen over the meaning of the statement by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on October 15, 2012 that "I take responsibility" for the actions or non-action of the State Department over the events in Benghazi More

It's not the debt that will bring the U.S. to its knees, but rather the fact that no one cares. More

Obama won re-election by selling the idea that he was the champion of the middle class. Now he is forcing them into poverty and driving them from their homes. More

Former Vice President Al Gore is able to explain things in the simple language used by elementary school teachers, so he tends to be believed even when he is conveying misinformation. More

Firearms holders who have done nothing wrong are taking a stand against a newspaper that decided to showcase their names and addresses. More

Feinstein's tactics are nothing short of a backdoor scheme to render legal weapons illegal by redesignating them as equivalent to automatic weapons. More

Leadership in today's political environment will require an ability to blunt the progressive left's neverending effort to demonize conservatives, distort reality, and distract voters from engaging in honest debate. More

This group is definitely right up there with the worst. More

Obama's first four years as president were particularly strong for the straw man industry. For 2013, let's let some of these overworked and worn-down figures rest. More

Not by choice, but by absolute necessity. More
