Rand Paul rips Obama’s Syria plan

McCain, Kerry, Hillary, interventionists, anti-war hypocrites, you name it. Knowing you guys as I do, it’s the attack on Maverick that you really want to see. Skip to 41:00 or so. He doesn’t mention him by name, of course, but I think we’re all on the same page when we hear the term “moss-covered.” Damn: […] Read More →

The Challenge: Living Under Imperfect Law & Leadership

Rebecca Hagelin Editor’s note: this piece was coauthored by Hagelin’s daughter, Kristin Carey.   The US Constitution begins with the words, “We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…” Our founding fathers acknowledged the imperfection inherent in all societies. Their goal was not the unrealistic one of forming a perfect, or utopian union. […] Read More →

Liberals Eagerly Put Women At Risk Because Of Politics

Kurt Schlichter, I got called “vile” on Twitter the other day, which in itself is nothing new – my fiercely pro-American, pro-freedom, anti-moron agenda is a constant source of outrage for the online world’s liberal fascist contingent. What was significant was the reason. I had shamelessly observed that young women who preferred not to have […] Read More →

Though the method has grown in popularity since educator John Holt introduced it in his books and theory, many Americans are still largely unaware of the term’s meaning or methodology. Hewitt explains and introduces the concept at Outside […] Read More →

Dr. Ben Carson: Forgetting the Meaning of Freedom

 Many people in this country were shocked when the U.S. Navy recently announced the removal of all Bibles from military hotels under their control. This was in response to pressure from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a well-known atheist group. The surprise is not the hypocritical stance of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, but rather […] Read More →

What If Democracy Is a Fraud?

Judge Andrew Napolitano  What if you were allowed to vote only because it didn’t make a difference? What if no matter how you voted the elites always got their way? What if the concept of one person/one vote was just a fiction created by the government to induce your compliance? What if democracy as it […] Read More →

Is this still Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party?

Christian B. Corrigan  Conservatives of all stripes are in the midst of an intellectual renaissance designed to chart a course out of exile and back into the White House by applying tested principles to modern policy problems. Meanwhile, Democrats have abandoned their historically principled liberalism for something perniciously illiberal. Succumbing to the allure of the […] Read More →

Governments are Racing to Make the Internet a Gun-Free Zone

Michael Schaus  Despite the fact that I consider the prevailing majority of Facebook posts to be the single largest culprit of wasted broadband, I do hold a certain amount of awe for the internet. Shortly after Al Gore invented the technology, the instantaneous exchange of information became a global phenomenon. (Although, those early dial ups […] Read More →
