I Want My, I Want My MLB

The MLB Network had a sensational rookie season. Diehard baseball fans needn't worry about a sophomore jinx.

The Talker-in-Chief and "Copenhagen." Michelangelo and American foreign policy. The problems of war time Democrat Presidents. Open societies and their wars. Is Iran demonstratively hiding what it does not have? Admit the failure of diplomacy?

Fiscal Irresponsibility

The only way to solve America's debt problem is to stop spending and pay it off.

 

Words: A Personal Holiday Remembrance

My personal paean to a few great men, now lost to us, who had the capacity to think critically, to write movingly, to engage thoughtfully on the plain of ideas.

Obama Bows to China (Again)

Searching for antidotes against the insolent disobedience of the restless masses. Pacify Islam: export secular atheism. Just discovered: Muslims are not responsible for the last two world wars. The devaluation of racism through over incantation. About the extent of Soviet infiltration.

Understanding the Global-warming Jihadists

The global warming zealots have invested so much of their time, energy, emotion, ego and reputations in the climate con that to relinquish it would be to relinquish themselves; to call it a lie is to call their lives a lie.

Sun Spots on Nancy's Brain?

Take it from Nancy Pelosi: the impact of global warming is not "gender-neutral." Women feel the consequences first.

Government As Narcotics Dealer

Just as the Fed's creation of fiat money made possible the dot.com bubble and burst, as well as the current over-expansion of home-building and over-investment in subprime mortgages and collateralized debt obligations, so too did it create the conditions for the 1929 stock market crash.

The Paradox of Good Government

Good government understands that it is best to have the loyalty of a strong, independent, and productive people.  It is an earned loyalty based in large part on trust.  A power intensive government does not trust the people, and eventually enslaves them.  Today's Democrats are seeking to achieve just that.   

What Every American Should Know About the UN

Five things most Americans probably don't know about the UN – but should.

Nuptial Disagreements

Between 1960 and 1980, the divorce rate in this country doubled and today hovers at around 50%, while the birth rate has been in steady decline.

Betting America's Future On The "Healthcare" Circus

Regardless of its specifics, if any so-called "healthcare reform" bill passes the Congress, it will be signed by Obama and invoked thereafter as cart blanche for an administration that has already mocked the limits of constitutional law in its takeover of the banks and the American auto industry.

A Small Example of Leftist Misery and Devastation

Natural gas is an efficient, clean and affordable energy source, so, of course, leftists in New Mexico hate it.

Why Place Your Bet on the Horse that Always Loses?

For at least two decades, proposals by the Social Security Administration and Congress to cut Medicare costs have come to naught.

The National Anxiety Center Lists Top Ten Fears

Founded in 1990, The National Anxiety Center, a clearinghouse for information about "scare campaigns" designed to influence public opinion and policy, has periodically issued a list of the top anxieties Americans will experience in the coming year.

Scientific Fascism at Copenhagen

Perhaps the most important question that needs to be asked is why do so many scientists support the notion of manmade global warming, to the point that some are falsifying the data? Most likely it is because their funding is contingent upon promoting that viewpoint.

Supporting Palin While White

The liberal (and mostly white) media is maniacally obsessed with sorting people by race.

Thinking the Legally "Unthinkable" in the KSM Trial

If Khalid Shaikh Mohammed is clever he will turn his trial into an Obama birth certificate circus.

Chasing the Wind: Israel’s Search for Peace

Israel's attempts at accommodation have met with rejection and refusal to accept a non-Arab state within the region.

Dealing with the Devil

Dialogue and accommodation with messianic, apocalyptic Islamic regimes like Iran is not only pointless, but threatens the stability of the international order. Even as the UN's nuclear watchdog agency and Israeli intelligence have acknowledged that the Iranian mullahs are on the nuclear threshold and have perfected long-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, the Obama [...]
