In 1967, I was the radical Alinsky wrote the rules for. On the political cutting edge, I’d been arguing with fellow students and coworkers for years about Vietnam, and my growing disgust with my country led me down many winding roads of anti-American thought. I was counterculture before there was a name for it, skipping my prom and graduation as “bourgeois,” going barefoot, braless, and unshaven, and collecting tattoos at the only place in town those days — a crummy hole-in-the-wall next to d...

The leitmotiv of Sunstein's entire legal philosophy and worldview is encapsulated in two very evil and failed philosophies of the past: 1) Social Darwinism [evolution], and 2) Moral Relativism – a theory, especially in ethics or aesthetics, that conceptions of truth and moral values are not absolute but are relative to the persons or groups holding them. In other words, nothing has more intrinsic value than anything else. Read Full Story

America was born in protest and a new generation is carrying on the tradition. It is not an idle thing. They could have gone to a football or baseball game. Instead, they came to Washington, D.C. Only fools would dare ignore them. Read Full Story

America has had more than enough of bureaucrats in Washington directing US troops in battle with an enemy. Read Full Story

I remember first hearing about 9/11 while at work and telling a co-worker that it was probably just some idiot in a small plane who had run into a tower by accident or to commit suicide.

What I learned from 9/11 was that a lot of Americans have concluded that it was America’s fault we were attacked. That may sound screwy to people who correctly believe that al Qaeda planned, funded and provided the men who carried out the attacks, but why deal with the facts when conspiracies are so much more fun?

When treason prospers none dare call it treason and when liars prosper none dare speak the truth. Our public discourse is getting more and more surreal as everyone on both sides who has studied the health care issue know for a fact that Obama lied about numerous issues. This is how I imagine things must have been in the Soviet Union under Stalin. Read Full Story

Because of the heated spotlight Beck focused on "environmental advisor" Van Jones, this "czar" was forced to step down from his position. He took his anti-American, racist beliefs with him, but there's little doubt he will lurk about and continue his destructive efforts to undermine our country. Read Full Story
