Denver has recently announced a policy that plans to remove 500,000 cars from the road in an aggressive attempt to curb the effects of global warming.

To the hardworking American citizens, your country is about to be swept from underneath you. Our sovereignty is unraveling. I say this because of the various agreements to privatize and lease our nation’s interstates and highways to foreign companies.  And without Congressional approval or approval of the people.  This is happening across the country as well. The Trans...

Since June 14 is Flag Day, it reminded me of an obnoxious display of the American flag I regularly saw when I was a teenager in the 1970s. There was one boy at my high school who had a Stars and Stripes sewn into the seat of his jeans. This was toward the end...

Kelly, a reader, wonders whether there is an anti-male/anti-father bias at the popular left-wing website www.AlterNet.org. Kelly writes:

The elemental bond that links fathers with their children is the subject of ancient poetry, biblical legend, and even diplomatic stand-offs. Remember Homer’s epic saga of Odysseus and Telemachus? The New Testament tale of the prodigal son? And of course the Elian Gonzalez case. Xavier Quinta was born on June 24, 1998 to Bennett...
