My personal favorite was in response to an article entitled “Vegans glad to see Palin go.” I wrote something like – “It’s a non sequitur to assume that vegans are liberals. I’m vegan, yet conservative.” He was kind enough to respond, albeit in a bit testy yet controlled way. He said that he couldn’t understand how I could be vegan and support Palin, and further that he didn’t see how I inferred from his article that all vegans did not like Palin (or were liberal – I...

Interesting to gays probably, very boring for everyone else. But there is one aspect to all of this which still goes largely ignored - for reasons, no doubt, of “cultural sensitivity” - and that is the effect that the long march of multiculturalism has had on this whole issue. Basically it comes down to this question: how do you celebrate and respect cultures and religions which think you are an abomination? It’s a tricky one for the bien pensants and...

It used to be this was just conjecture, but now there are facts to support that statement. The conservatives who are reading this are all nodding their heads in agreement and the liberals are wishing they were conservatives, so they could get their guns and become self-righteous and indignant. Sorry liberals, reality is what it is. Get a helmet.

He has allowed the political situation in Iran to escalate into the crisis it is today. At the time of this writing, protests in the streets have broken out over the rigged election. The red flags should have been flying in the Commander in Chief’s face already. Iran has been advancing their nuclear weapon program at a dangerously rapid rate, constantly waving the fact at the West. The rest has been very well documented. Political corruption has been...

Liberals view happy, successful people as the mirror of their own inadequacy; a lack of appreciation of their own self-worth. Envy of someone’s accomplishments builds bitterness and hatred in the mind of an underachiever - a resentfulness about the world, more specifically their culture, just not being “fair.” Success, and acceptance among the “happy conservatives,” represents something liberals will never attain. A good example of this is Western liberals teaming-up with Muslims to destroy their own civilization; one which...

We preferred the old one, where immigrants were expected to learn English and the roots of high expectations were taught in our public schools. Sometime after John Boy Walton said "Goodnight Grandma" and news media's infatuation with celebrity whores, our dynamic purpose as a sovereign nation changed.

Left-wing progressives seem to care only about the “freedom” to do whatever they want to whoever they want in the bedroom. Once you step outside the bedroom, most every aspect of your life should be subject to the iron hand of the progressive state: 1.The Freedom to keep what you earn and spend it as you please. 2.The Freedom to take risks, and live with the consequences. 3.The Right to participate in the political process by donating money to causes you...

I have faith one day there will be equality for everyone living in this country!” That’s fine, I don’t care whether or not she supports “marriage equality.” But as someone her age, I know that gay marriage is one of the causes that young people must embrace in order to gain admission to the liberal in-crowd—and I suspect that’s why she’s doing...

However, it’s not great news for the Republicans, because the number who say the GOP is “too conservative” has remained unchanged from its own historic high mark last year. It looks like a lot of Americans are disenchanted with both parties for being too extreme. Here’s a Gallup video on the poll with more...

In 1798, during the Quasi-war with France, Congress, with President John Adams’s support, passed the Sedition Act. Outraged by attacks on her husband, Abigail Adams supported the act, which was opposed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, among others. “Let us not establish a tyranny,” wrote an alarmed Alexander Hamilton to an ally in Congress. Indeed, the Sedition Act, an obvious violation of the First Amendment, made a permanent blot on Adams’s presidency.
