I'm a conservative because there is so much about the American tradition that is worth conserving. I worry that people aren't as frightened of authoritarians and totalitarians as they should be. Freedom and capitalism are inseparable, because without capitalism, freedom just means shouting your opinion and hoping somebody important is listening.

Hayward has been a writer for Breitbart News Network since 2013. Prior to that, he worked for two decades in computers and business consulting before becoming an amateur blogger under the pseudonym "Doctor Zero" for Hot Air. As he developed a large following, he also received criticism for being an anonymous voice, so he decided to reveal his full name and go public. Shortly thereafter, he began doing radio interviews across the country for his writing and was contacted by Human Events in Washington, D.C. to become a full-time professional columnist.

Management at Breitbart News noticed his work and invited him to join Breitbart.com. Hayward jumped at the opportunity to "join a platform with so much reach, to be a part of something so huge."

Hayward's work has been cited by radio and television outlets from Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin to Fox News. His essays have been incorporated into several high school and college textbooks, and he gives occasional lectures on media analysis and writing online. He frequently guest-hosts Breitbart News Tonight on SiriusXM channel 125, the Patriot Channel.

The Inherent Violence of Grievance Culture

Of course we have violence in the streets. Left-wing grievance culture is inherently violent. Murder and assault are inevitable. Police officers are among the first targets, because they are obliged to be on the scene during major demonstrations, and because they’re symbols of the oppressive authority deemed illegitimate by grievance-mongers.

Report: Islamic State Twitter Traffic Down 45% as Encrypted App Popularity Rises

The Islamic State’s social media operation is often credited for their success at recruiting both foot soldiers in the Middle East and “lone wolf” jihadis around the world, so a dramatic reduction of their online footprint would be good news, if that is indeed what’s happening.

Ted Cruz Exposes Arrogance, Incompetence, of Obama’s Anti-Terror Failure

The encounter between Senator Ted Cruz and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson over the “scrubbing” of Islamic terminology and Islamist networks from federal anti-terror plans was terrifying to watch — because it showed that President Barack Obama’s appointees are a clique of arrogant, disdainful, narrow-minded and gullible amateurs.
