You’d really, really think half a century of Castro pronouncements might make the MSM a tad skeptical about them. Take this one from 1959. For months by the time of his above denouncement of Communism, Fidel, Raul, and Che had
For the last 14 years as the elected Sheriff of Cochise County Arizona, which shares 83 miles of border with Mexico, I have kept a listed phone number. For about the last 18 years or so the calls I receive

Christine O’Donnell over Mike Castle, Carl Paladino over Rick Lazio… the conventional-wisdom scalps pile up. And yet the media continues to grasp at straws in the desperate hope that their beloved Democrat Party (whose tremendous legislative accomplishments simply haven’t yet
One look at circulation and ad sales and it’s plain to see that this kind of advocacy journalism is killing the New York Times: The Senate primary in Delaware on Tuesday was prompting anxiety among party officials, who feared that
Proving once again that the sexually-obsessed Islamists have no concept about what constitutes “hallowed ground,” the fast-diminishing Imam Rauf clearly doesn’t understand that the clubs and businesses in lower Manhattan he finds objectionable anteceded 9/11 — which in any case
The New York Times is proving once again that it is simply a tool of the progressives that are presently running the United States. Earlier in the week President Obama made House minority leader John Boehner public enemy number one
With the FDA preparing to initiate cost-based rationing of late stage cancer drugs, the intellectual giants at the New York Times have decided to lay down a gauntlet to defend rationing of medical care. Welcome to the Brave New World

The New York Times’ headline said it all: “Democrats plan political triage to retain House – Fear Republican Wave.” Indeed, there will be a wave of losses for the Democrats stretching from coast-to coast this Fall. No clearer indication of
President Obama’s disdain for that class of nations and leaders traditionally referred to as “allies” has become apparent even to the more obtuse among us. I refer to the New York Times‘ s featured op-ed, by the noted op-ed-er Roger
Well, the bad news is that we’re a bunch of racists. The good news, though, is that our liberal overlords are understanding. Due to their boundless capacity for empathy, they understand that we just can’t help the inherent bigotry that
