Facing Up to the Enormity of Our Problem
Daren Jonescu
The modern left's anti-rational, anti-virtuous, anti-individualist superstructure must be destroyed, mercilessly and thoroughly. It took generations for this brilliant scheme to be wound around the West, like spider's silk around its paralyzed prey. More

Message to the GOP: Believe it or Not
J.T. Hatter

Qatar Casts a Giant Shadow
Ted Belman
It is bad enough that a small country like Israel has to contend with the likes of Qatar and its fellow travelers, but to have them embraced by the ruling elites in the U.S. and Europe increases the danger to Israel exponentially. More

Removing a Tumor
Jerrold L. Sobel
Hamas is a cancerous tumor in Israel's side. At the behest of friend and foe alike, successive Israeli governments have foolishly placed the wishes of others before the security of their own citizens and adhere to ceasefires before unequivocally defeating this insidious foe. More

GOP Establishment Seeks Its Inner Neville Chamberlain

Ending the Tax Debate
Scott Strzelczyk

Reeling from Fiscal Vertigo
Jon N. Hall
As regards the fiscal cliff, it seems that all they talk about is tax rate hikes; one hears little about spending cuts. If we can't get real -- and immediate -- cuts in spending, then let's just join hands and jump off the cliff. More

Obama's Jonestowns
Jack Cashill
Worse than fraud is the process that turned nearly 20,000 black people into automatons that voted for Barack Obama by a combined 19,605 to 0 votes cast in 59 Philadelphia districts. Fear can do that. More

A Letter to Both Santas
Jim Yardley
I know it seems sort of bold of me to ask for something this large, but perhaps if you think of it not as a gift for me,but rather as a gift that would be shared with 330,000,000 of my friends, it might not seem as avaricious. More

Why Obama Must Go

Vote for Character, Not Color

Lies, Damned Lies, and Goddamned Lies
