Are the Arts Gay Enough?

You know the problem with the arts these days? In case you didn’t know, Philip Kennicott will be happy to tell you. The problem with the arts, he says, is that they’re homophobic. Quit laughing. In a recent Washington Post

Coming Soon To Marines: Groin Armor

Amazing that they didn’t think of this earlier. From the Marine Corps Times: It looks like a camouflage diaper, but it could save your future children. Within a month, the Marine Corps will begin fielding new groin protectors that can

Whittaker Chambers, Communism, And Islam

Whittaker Chambers (April 1, 1901-July 9, 1961) Freedom is a need of the soul, and nothing else. It is in striving toward God that the soul strives continually after a condition of freedom. God alone is the inciter and guarantor

Independence Day, 2021

Pete Schweizer has asked me, for Independence Day, to write something upbeat and optimistic. This is not an easy task for me, given that I’m the gloomiest person in the world. The Future But in fact, I AM upbeat and

'States' Rights' is the Free Market Version of Democracy

[youtube KfJBRFhinqE] Mitt’s not my first choice. If Perry (c’mon Governor!) doesn’t run, I prefer(ed) Daniels and Christie because they are heroic public employee union slayers. And I love Drew’s dream Tea Party ticket of Cain and West to confront

The Law: The Socialists

From The Law, by Frederic Bastiat: How did politicians ever come to believe this weird idea that the law could be made to produce what it does not contain — the wealth, science, and religion that, in a positive sense,

Obama Explained By Andy McCarthy

Just brilliant, which seems the norm for this guy. He pulls back the curtain on Obama and reveals what makes the man tick. It should be sent to everyone you know. Let’s keep its lesson in front of us as

Has The Media Finally Awakened?

I keep thinking/hoping, eventually journalists are going to wake up. I’ve spent 30 years in the business, always cynical about its mission (the business is supposed to attract cynics,) and waiting and wondering if good sense and logic will finally

Obama And Netanyahu In Sharp Disagreement After Speech

When President George Bush announced his Mideast Roadmap to Peace in 2003, I wrote that the plan could never succeed because the survivors of the genocidal 1936-49 war between Arabs and Jews, including Yasser Arafat and Ariel Sharon, were disappearing,

President Obama's Remarks On The Middle East
