I have written many articles nipping at Republicans for completely failing to address federal social policies destroying marriage in America. McCain gave social conservatives the coldest of all shoulders in this regard. However, his shortcomings pale in comparison to Obama. We have all heard that Obama’s best friends... »

Labor unions make us poorer and they prolong recessions. Senator Obama’s short-sighted support for wealth-redistribution taxation and for socialist labor unions is nothing new for Democrat/Socialist politicians. Both in England and in the United States, labor unions led the political assault to overwhelm the individualistic traditions that made those nations great and to impose socialistic planning... »

Chicago Attorney Jeffery Leving will be interviewing ERIC H. HOLDER, JR. senior legal advisor to BARACK OBAMA. Along with Caroline Kennedy, he served on Obama’s Vice Presidential Selection Committee.

The Assault on Free Markets (2008-11-03) by David John Marotta Free markets are under assault in America. We have seen much hyperbole and slander in these past two years of political polarization. But the idea of capitalism and free markets has received more negative campaigning and vicious attack than both candidates combined. I prefer not to... »

Boots Alleged Conservative Reporters Off His Campaign Plane Barack Obama’s campaign has ejected reporters working for three newspapers from its traveling plane in the final days of the election, drawing fire from conservatives who see a pattern: all three media organizations endorsed John McCain. According to WABC Radio’s host Mark Levin, a former chief of staff... »

Take the spirit of an old-time women’s prison picture, a lot of HOT babes whose boobs often get exposed, lesbian sex scenes both nasty and nice, a creepy Catholic “home” for at-risk young ladies, a priest who loves to punish with a paddle, mix in H.P. Lovecraft and a one-eyed, many-tentacled monster, add a... »

The mindless throngs assembled to worship their savior, Senator Obama, bring to mind José Ortega y Gasset’s The Revolt of the Masses. Street mobs and mass demonstrations are a product of socialism, beginning with the Parisian mobs who assaulted the Bastille on July 14, 1789, then dragged government ministers from their homes and hanged them... »

In a bold move in front of members of the news media, Freedom Watch Chairman and Chief Legal Counsel Larry Klayman literally jumped out from behind a line of TV cameras and microphones on Friday, October 24, to serve a complaint on an OPEC oil minister. The lawsuit filed on behalf of Klayman’s Freedom Watch... »

At this very time of year, on a dreary night, and during a lightning storm, Victor Frankenstein first gave life to his hideous creation in Mary Shelley’s tragic novel. And so was born both the connection between Halloween and Frankenstein as well as the now familiar arch-villain, the mad scientist. It seems a bit... »

“Man,” I cried, “how ignorant art thou in thy pride of wisdom! Cease; you know not what it is you say.” —Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, volume III, chapter 7 With the help of Hollywood—though often to its detriment—Mary Shelley’s 19th century classic, Frankenstein, has become one of the most popular fictional works of modern times. Many of... »

MR. WOOD: Good afternoon. We have here today Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs James Glassman. He’s going to talk to you about U.S. efforts – public diplomacy efforts in the war of ideas. So without further ado, I’ll turn it over to the Under Secretary. Please. UNDER SECRETARY GLASSMAN: Thanks. Thank... »

In the aftermath of a United States raid in border town Abu Kamal within Syria on October 26, the country has filed a complaint with the United Nations Security Council to prevent further breaches of Syria’s borders. Calling the operation a “terrorist aggression,” Syria has alleged that eight civilians were killed in the raid,... »

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has found evidence of hydrated silica or opal, a form of mineral, over large areas in the Martian surface, including in the large martian canyon called Valles Marineris. The discovery was made by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer (CRISM) instrument on the orbiter. The findings are published by Ralph Milliken... »

The young will disproportionately pay the many prices of an Obama presidency. The sad part is that even young folks intelligent enough to vote against this walking disaster will be forced to share the burden for many of their years. »

-By Warner Todd Huston John Hollenhorst, reporter for KSL TV in Salt Lake City, Utah, wants you to forget about all those gosh darn Internet rumors. In fact, forget the Internet altogether and just rely on the “established news organizations” to tell you what is what. After all, it’s just too darn hard for the... »

“The Picture of Dorian Gray” (1945) keeps close to the brilliant novel that inspired it except for a few innovations that usually work to the film’s benefit. It departs from the book in giving an otherworldly explanation for the granting of Dorian’s wish that the portrait painted of him will grow old while he... »

Have you ever wondered about “community organizing” and the swarming “get out the vote” goon squads that the Left increasingly mobilizes for presidential elections? ACORN is one of the largest of these entities and has an extensive and long history with Barack Obama. It is one of the central players in the massive Democratic... »

It is a safe bet that Barack Obama will never again engage “Joe the Plumber” or anyone like him in a discussion of policy without “preconditions.” Some things are just too dangerous to the future of liberal America to be left to chance. On October 12 Joe, a real American with legitimate concerns for his... »

Here is a paradox. A writer, writing for the media, an article that basically says the media is in the tank. This story is further complicated because it exposes a conundrum. If we were to take what we hear and read throughout the American mainstream media and decide it were a proven fact….... »

If there is one defining characteristic about liberals it is their scornful distrust of the American voting public. This is understandable, being that their party hasn’t managed to win a presidential election while getting a majority of Americans to vote with them since 1976. (And in that particular case, let’s just say it took... »
