Unfailing in his belief that America would survive the domestic enemies working to take her down Some people leave behind legacies that go on forever after their life on Earth. These are the ones far too lively for an ordinary obituary. Patriot, writer and veteran of the United States Army, Alan Caruba is one of those rare souls who soldier on in the human heart long after they’re gone. He signed all his emails ‘Uncle Alan’ and was with Canada Free Press (CFP) longer than any other writer. His friend Texas Fred of the TexasFred Blog sent word today that...

How the Earth is getting both colder and warmer at the same time defies reality, but that is of little concern to Dr. Holdren As January 2014 arrived with a blast of cold air ominously dubbed the “polar vortex”, the White House released a video in which the Chief Science Advisor to President Obama, Dr. John Holdren, managed to get on both sides of it, declaring the “extreme cold” to be “a pattern that we expect to see with increasing frequency as global warming continues.” How the Earth is getting both colder and warmer at the same time defies reality,...

Obama's Cairo Speach: A self-deluded fool gave it, a man determined to avoid confronting the enemies of mankind until an Islamic-inspired genocide required it “A greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum” The speaker had what one might imagine, given his background, a better insight into Islam, Muslims, and the Middle East than others who had preceded him. He said he was seeking “a new beginning” that was “based on mutual interests and mutual respect” because his nation and those in the Middle East shared “common principles—principles of justice and progress, tolerance and dignity of all...

Americans are inclined to believe that, with the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the Cold War from 1945 to 1991 was over. In fact, that war of ideologies, communism versus capitalism, began in the 1920s after the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, initiated a covert program to undermine America. Today we call it "political correctness" and its impact on our society is sapping it of its true history and values. "Willing Accomplices: How KGB Covert Intelligence Agents Created Political Correctness, Obama's Hate-America-First Political Platform, and Destroyed America" by Kent Clizbe, a former CIA espionage officer, reveals how active and...

On the conservative side of the political spectrum, we frequently refer to liberals as "low information voters," a nice way of saying they are stupid. From their point of view, however, we are the stupid ones. And not merely stupid, but evil. The divide between conservatives and liberals can be seen in the outcomes of the many polls and surveys that are announced on a daily basis. The numbers are depressingly the same; ranging from 40-40% or 50-50%, depending on how many respond that they don't have an opinion. There is, moreover, what I call the "thirty percent syndrome" of...

Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, marked the beginning of the Great Depression, but for Barack Obama, last Friday was Black Friday because the U.S. Department of Labor announced that only 69,000 jobs were added in May, well below expectations that it might reach 150,000. The official unemployment rate ticked up to 8.2 percent, but it is actually far closer to 15 percent. The news means that Obama's hope of being reelected ranges between slim to none. Beyond the current numbers, on Friday CNS News reported that 766,000 more women are unemployed than when he took office in 2009.

I do not write unpleasant things about Barack Hussein Obama because he is a Democrat, a far-left liberal ideologue, a confirmed liar, or the sock-puppet of whatever cabal that chose him long ago to be the President. I write unpleasant things because he is all of these things, but also because he is the most stupid man to have ever held the office of President. As far back as January 2, 2010 I wrote that Obama had "an imaginary life" because there was no proof that anything he claimed in his two memoirs, written by the age of 45, was...

Help fellow Patriots every chance you get. You may not see immediate results or get the acclaim but you are making a difference. Here is one such man who still doesn’t know how many lives he has helped to energize. You’ll be surprised at some of the direct results noted below. Aspects of the Tea Party Movement and Obama controversy that you know or know of but don’t really know some of the origins. The funny thing about this is he doesn’t even know yet how much he has helped changed lives and helped freedom.

The November 3rd elections were a turning point, swiftly reached. The inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama was followed by Tea Parties around the nation that aggregated into the huge September 12 rally in Washington, D.C. And barely two months later, the election of Republican governors in Virginia and New Jersey. In Maine, the voters repealed the authorization of same-sex marriage, an anathema as morally debased as abortion. My mind went back to Barry Goldwater's acceptance speech at the Republican convention in 1964. "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind...

There are all kinds of signs that traditional anti-Semitism in Europe is growing by leaps and bounds, while the UN continues to pass resolution after resolution condemning Israel for shooting back at Arab terrorists who murder Israelis almost on a daily basis. There is really nothing new about this; similar tendencies were seen just before World Wars I and II. Since 1948, when the United Nations approved the formation of the nation of Israel (and Arabs were offered and refused their own nation-state), and the United States was the first country to recognize Israel, Americans have supported Israel as one...

The haunting images of New Orleans were those of a Third World nation unable to cope with a natural disaster. The over-riding question in the first days following the hurricane was “What is the government doing?” Americans have been conditioned to look to the federal government as the answer to all their needs. The federal government has steadily taken over our education and health care systems through vast programs that, in the former case, has ruined what was once one of the best in the world and, in the latter case, through Medicare and Medicaid, exercises control over the way...

The most vexatious aspect of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the refusal of any Arab nation to provide any help whatever in resolving it. By dint of wars declared upon it, the Israelis became the unwilling "occupiers" of land on which dwelt three million Arabs who came, in time, to be called Palestinians. The land, Gaza and the West Bank, and the people who lived on it previously had been part of Egypt and Jordan. Anyone who has followed the long, torturous road to peace the Israelis sought from the Palestinians knows that, under the grip of Yasser Arafat, that goal...

Eco-Logic / Powerhouse Government mandates... Subverting the Constitution in high school By Alan Caruba Parents of high school students would be well advised to look at We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution, a book that is the federally-mandated text for what these students learn about the founding and fundamental principles of this nation. Some fairly lonely voices, like my own, have been saying that not only has our educational system been deliberately "dumbed down" to produce students ill-prepared to compete in a complex society and world, but that it is being used to mislead and corrupt a proper...

While the socialist, mainstream media have worked their butts off, painting sympathetic portraits of "gay" New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who sort of resigned on August 12, but who refuses to leave office, some hard-heads have insisted on committing journalism. McGreevey, the man who campaigned that he would "change the way things are done in Trenton," has proved to be as corrupt a chief executive as any in the history of a state that my colleague from New Jersey, Alan Caruba, has argued is the most crooked in the country. Caruba wrote in the Philadelphia Inquirer, "If anyone thinks his...

It is to our credit as a nation, a society, and a culture, that Americans instantly grasped the true meaning of 9/11. We understood, as we had not fully grasped before, that we were the declared enemy in an Islamic fantasy. "It is the enemy who defines us as his enemy, and in making this definition he changes us, and changes us whether we like it or not," writes Lee Harris in his new book, Civilization and Its Enemies: The Next Stage of History ($26.00, Free Press). "To insist on maintaining utopian values when your society is facing an enemy...

Historian Paul Johnson described the new American Empire a recent essay: a defensive imperialism in defense of Western Civilization. The generation for whom the latter half of the last century represents their view of the world is now wondering about the world in which their grandchildren will live. It will be very different for a lot of reasons, but the most dramatic will be the American Empire. It will be a world in which America doesn’t merely participate in great issues and events, but dictates them. It will be a world in which the hope for worldwide democracy is no...

Toogood Reports [Weekender, March 16, 2003; 12:01 a.m. EST]URL: http://ToogoodReports.com/ The closer we get to extending the War on Terror to an Iraqi front, the more frequently I have been coming across strong anti-war arguments. Not surprisingly, the arguments have largely been from conservatives of the group referred to in some circles as paleo-conservatives, with some coming from libertarians. (I say, "some circles," because in most circles they are ignored.) The articles that since 911 have essentially said, "Praise the Proposition Nation, and pass the ammunition," have all come from folks who are known as "neo-conservatives." At least since 911,...
