February 11, 2013
The Vector of American Foreign Policy
G. Murphy Donovan
Moral cowardice underwritten by defensive fear, naiveté, and misplaced assertions of moral equivalence, seduced by the shibboleth that Islam is one of the "world's great religions" and not just another mutating variant of political fascism. More

Is There a 'Positive Right' to Own Firearms?
Timothy C. Daughtry

February 10, 2013
A Perfect Contrast
William Sullivan
But to focus on the contrast between Dr. Carson's and Obama's healthcare approaches alone is to miss the deeper contrast between the ideologies that have driven their life's work, and the results of that work. More

Obscuring the True Face of Mohamed Morsi
Michael Kravshik
Why are media and our president so reluctant to call out Morsi's anti-Semitic rants for what they are? More

How not to Defend Israel
Mike Konrad
Israelis, and the Jewish people, make a serious tactical mistake in how they defend Israel. They seek approbation from the world's legal systems for their actions. More

The Shame of Spain
Adam Turner
Free speech seems to be on the decline in Spain of late -- at least when it comes to Islam. More

February 10, 2013

On to 'Knife Control'
Josiah Cantrall
Following the massacre at Dunblane, the UK enacted a near universal gun ban in 1998. Gun crimes in England and Wales have gone from 5,209 in 1998 to 9,865 in 2012 -- an increase of 89 per cent. More

Dangerous Times: Italy stares Into the Abyss
James Lewis and Justine Aristea
Today, a politician named Beppe Grillo is rising to fame and fortune. His Italian audiences are laughing themselves silly at Beppe's neo-fascist schtick. Tomorrow... maybe they won't laugh. More

February 9, 2013
Timbuktu and the Nazis
Eileen F. Toplansky
It is not surprising that there are so many points of agreement with Islamic jihadists and Naziism. They both represent death of the spirit of a society. More

February 9, 2013
Divestment and the Destruction of Israel
Mike Konrad
At the core, divestment is about destroying Israel, piece by piece. The supporters of BDS may not see it that way -- though I suspect more realize it than are willing to admit it -- but that does not negate the ugly reality. More

February 9, 2013
Confederalism
Bruce Walker
When our Constitution was ratified, there was no debate about the purpose of government. It's time for us to remember that purpose. More

The Republicans have always represented the job makers, the providers, the builders, the hunters and warriors that kept America safe, strong, productive, and innovative. And the Democrats... More

February 8, 2013
America Gives Up
Stella Paul
Once the Commander-in-Chief openly mocks the very idea of winning wars, we might as well go right ahead and turn the military into one big pajama party of girls and gays. Maybe Obama's secret plan is to have our enemies laugh themselves to death. More

February 8, 2013
The Third Sex in Massachusetts
Janet Tassel
People who claim that they are women trapped in a man's body or men trapped in a woman's body are suffering from "delusions, psychosis, or emotional unhappiness." Treatment for such conditions should not include surgery. More

February 8, 2013
Will Obama Let Iran Start World War III
Noah Beck
Toothless pronouncements of disappointment and condemnation by the US and EU have been as ineffective at stopping Iran's nuclear warpath as they've been at halting Assad's daily massacres. More

February 8, 2013
Calling Their Bluff on Immigration Reform
William Campenni
There are a lot of fictions and falsehoods in the debate on illegal aliens that are ignored by a fawning media and punditry which is itself immune from the damages and dangers that illegal immigration inflicts. More

February 8, 2013
The Great Gun Debate
Brett Joshpe
Opposing all new regulations is bad politics. It is also is a bad negotiating strategy for gun advocates. More

February 7, 2013
A Sleepy Compliance with Tyranny
Daren Jonescu
The progressive ethic deifies subjective feelings, attitudes, and "values," in particular those which glorify the collective and debase the individual. "You didn't build that" is the resentfully anti-individual sentiment of a perfect dupe. More

February 7, 2013
'Skeeterism' and Obama's Columbia Years
Jason Kissner
Liberal media outlets are very uncharacteristically applying a reasonable standard in determining whether Obama skeet-shoots "all the time." What if they used that standard "all the time"? More

February 7, 2013

Reality doesn't matter. What matters is finding a justification for more government force. More

February 7, 2013
Judicial Bias against Israel

February 7, 2013
Armed Citizens are Responsible Citizens
William A. Levinson

If the Constitution Doesn't Matter...

Top Ten Problems with that Skeet Shooting Picture
Marion DS Dreyfus
A listing of what makes one suspect the photo was bogus, cooked up with Photoshop or entirely composited, like the President's one "composite girlfriend" in his account of his 'dating life' before he became noteworthy and flew right into the radar. More

Burkas and Babies
Glenn Fairman
Sex appears so persistent in the Islamic consciousness that it has been subject to a byzantine set of laws that seek to enflame rather than tame carnal lust. More

Unconstitutional Recess Appointments Extend beyond NLRB
John White
It appears that the Obama administration intends to make a habit out of ignoring Supreme Court decisions it doesn't like. More

First Comes Honor
Steve McCann

February 4, 2013
The Canary in the Culture
Tom Trinko

February 4, 2013
Barack does not Play Well with Others
William L. Gensert
Let the president do what he does best, give campaign speeches and pretend to be a leader. There is no reason to include him in negotiations between the Senate and the House. More

February 4, 2013
Rape Squads and Saudi Dollars
James Lewis
Rape and beatings are a routine part of slavery on the dark side of human history, which -- contrary to liberal "history" -- was not limited to the American South. Nor has it stopped today. More

Our Foreign Policy Establishment: Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places

February 3, 2013
Women in Combat: Battling Nature, Battering Reality
Selwyn Duke
Senseless advice and nothing nice; that's what little-girls-in-combat policy is made of. And it's not surprising if a majority of Americans support the policy; they are sex-role puzzled. More

February 3, 2013
Al Gore, Futurist
Norman Rogers
Gore is not a serious thinker but a politician and self-promoter pretending to be a serious thinker. He has successfully wielded the power of celebrity to make immense amounts of money; The Future amounts to another such effort. More

Jon N. Hall
Why should anyone graft himself to the "home team"? More

February 3, 2013
Girls Just Wanna Have Guns

The Argument that Wins the 'Assault Weapon' Debate
William A. Levinson
"Because the Constitution says so" or "It's my right" will not convince anybody whom the enemy is deluging with images of dead children, while the Glorious Leader uses children as human shields. More
