In 1941, Harpers Magazine published a fascinating article by writer Dorothy Thompson titled: "Who Goes Nazi?"Seventy years later, we're asking the question: "Who goes Obama?"(Before the reader is shocked that this article dares mention "Nazi" and "Obama" on the same page, don't worry -- there will be no comparison of Obama to Nazis here. I will only mention that both fascism and modern liberalism are, at heart, ideologies that fall at the statist end of the political spectrum. So bear with me a moment.)In "Who Goes Nazi?" Ms. Thompson thoughtfully described and evaluated the personalities of each of the various...

According to reports in the blogosphere, the president's schedule on the morning of the 26th was open, and according to an unnamed source, Obama watched the live feed of the hearings. Perhaps Obama, as well as the several mainstream media news outlets I spotted at the hearing, were merely...

Recently discovered in a Manhattan library's records: In 1789, George Washington borrowed a copy of Emmerich de Vattel's "The Law of Nations" and never returned it. Many historians have documented this important treatise as the basis for much of the Constitution's framework.
