On the Eve of the RNC, I thought I’d lift this from Craig’s List. Kerry’s jaundiced view of America In their new bestseller, “Can America Survive?” Ben Stein and Phil DeMuth begin with a pointed contrast between the America of today and that of 1942. One starts the section with trepidation, since such comparisons are overdone... »

DEMOCRAT HISTORY IS NOT THE SAME AS AMERICAN HISTORY Oversimplifications and conventional thinking always get my teeth on edge and the way past deeds of American Democrat Presidents get blamed on America as a whole constantly amazes me. But the reason why that happens is plain: Leftist historians and intellectuals generally are... »

Bingo! Commonsense hit the nail right on the head when he posted about being aware of the “faux” demonstrators that will be all over the media this week. The hair on the back of my neck went up when I saw the organization A.N.S.W.E.R in one... »

Communism Lives! Secretary of State Colin Powell recently canceled his visit to Athens for the Olympic closing ceremony. In the print version of the Chicago Tribune, a picture accompanying the article showed a banner that read “Powell Killer Go Home.” There was also a hammer and sickle on the banner. In many... »

The Best… Congratulations to the Women’s American Soccer team for winning the Gold Medal in Athens. They played like champions defeating, Brazil, a country noted for playing “beautiful” soccer and they conducted themselves with style and class afterwards as opposed to the last time they won when Brandi Chastain took off... »

The Phoniness of Political Art. A must read by Gail Jarvis: American men are acceptable targets of political art as evidenced by Eve Ensler’s play, “The Vagina Monologues.” This play begins with actresses making vulgar, sophomoric references to vaginas and eventually segues into a shrill diatribe against men’s victimization of women.

Stoopidity in Illinois If the Illinois senatorial race isn’t bad enough: a extreme leftist on a pedestal versus a carpet bagger, things are now getting worse.
