Why Are Democrats Sliming Rand Paul?

 You would think Democrats — Obama Democrats, in particular — would be a bit more sensitive if not responsible. After all, Democrats have endured decades of scurrilous charges about their love of country. The most toxic dregs of American politics — Joseph McCarthy, Spiro Agnew, Newt Gingrich, multiple individuals with the surname “Cheney” — have […] 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 →

Jeff Jacoby: No, Inverters Aren’t ‘Deserters’

 The corporate inversions just keep on coming, and the White House and its allies are calling them unpatriotic. But it’s a funny sort of “patriotism” that insists American businesses put the Treasury’s insatiable appetite for revenue ahead of the best interests of their customers, shareholders, and employees. The latest inversion — the term for a […] Read More →

Libertarianism and the Proper Meaning of Patriotism

Daniel J. Mitchell  Since we’re enjoying a long holiday weekend to celebrate the 4th of July, let’s take a moment to ponder patriotism. I’ve always been inspired (in more ways than one) by this t-shirt. My patriotism is for American principles, not the federal government.

The American Flag: ‘A Threat’?

Chuck Norris  It’s the very symbol of patriotism — Old Glory, as William Driver, a 19th-century American sea captain, nicknamed it. But even as we close in on Independence Day, more and more people across the country are calling the American flag a threat and inappropriate home garnishing. A week ago, the landlord of a […] Read More →

Reid Has Become a McCarthy for our Time

Victor Davis Hanson:    We should ask Senate Majority Harry Reid (D-Nev.) the same question once posed to Sen. Joseph McCarthy by U.S. Army head counsel Robert N. Welch: “Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” Reid is back in the news for denigrating the peaceful […] Read More →

Ann Coulter: Words with Friends

Whenever liberals are in a tight spot, they adopt the scorched-earth policy of argumentation. With no answer, they start demanding that you define words: What do you mean “liberal”? What do you mean “democracy”? What do you mean “patriotism”? They retreat from argument, burning the English language as they go. Accustomed to playing the role […] Read More →

Florida Textbook Promotes Islam While Ignoring Christianity and Judaism

by Dave Jolly Last year, we heard about the pro-Islamic curriculum, CSCOPE, that was brainwashing students throughout the state of Texas.  The CSCOPE curriculum taught that Allah was God Almighty and contained other Islamic teaching while ignoring any teaching of Christianity or Judaism.  The curriculum also contained a lot of socialistic teachings and downplayed American […] Read More →

Can a Globalist be a Patriot?

Diana West Something a little different: Instead of writing a column opposing the nomination of Samantha Power to become U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, I appeared on a panel in Washington, D.C., last week to state the case. My co-panelists were some very illustrious Americans, including organizer Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security […] Read More →
