Obama and Congress Snrink Freedom in America
Big Brother item by Alan Caruba

Whether it was the Hitler Youth or Mao’s Red Guard, one of the elements of every totalitarian regime is to create organizations that indoctrinate a nation’s youth to blindly follow the leader.They are a far cry from America’s Boy and Girl Scout movement in which patriotism mixes with learning a wide variety of useful skills and, if you’ve been paying attention, the Boy Scouts refusal to permit gays to participate has cost them various forms of support. In June 2000, the Supreme Court ruled that the Boys Scouts were within their Constitutional rights hold this position…

We Shall Not Go Quietly Into The Night
Republicrats item by David M. Huntwork

After the schelacking of the Republican party by the Democrats on November 4th many people are asking themselves “what happened” and “what do we do next”.  The “what happened” was eight years of a lackluster president who enacted the Surge about two and half years too late, surrendered on the public relations front, and abandoned the conservative principle of small government while joining the Republican controlled Congress in a frenzy of (then) unprecedented deficit spending…

A “Green Bank” to Put Us Further in the Red
GreeenIsm item by Alan Caruba

I am increasingly convinced that the Democrats who control Congress have gone completely insane. I am provided with evidence of this almost every day…

For The Sake Of Eternity Christians Need To Better Understand The Future
Religion item by Frederick Meekins

The church was instituted by God in part to stand as a defensive bulwark to protect against erroneous doctrine and spiritually damaging heresies from contaminating the minds of believers and thus to an extent soften the blow of a continually degrading culture.  However, often those in positions of religious leadership are so hopelessly detached that when confronted with warnings as to the spiritual dangers threatening both the individual and society they offer little in the way of a viable response grounded in a Christian worldview and instead prattle on about matters few actually care about at best or at worst condition the average congregant to eventually acquiesce to the expanding technocollectivist agenda.  This trend is evidenced in the inordinate emphasis upon COMMUNITY rather than Scripture as the authoritative source of values in an increasing number of ecclesiastical circles…

We Need A “Born Again” GOP
Republicrats item by Thomas D. Segel

The telephone rang again the other night.  It was a caller from the Republican National Committee seeking a donation.  My response was, “I don’t think I am a Republican any longer, because none of you even know what the GOP really believes.”

Today is “National Medal of Honor” Day
General item by J. D. Longstreet

Did you know that today, March 25th, is Medal of Honor Day?  I’ll beg you didn’t.  It is only two years old.  Yes March 25th was set aside just two years ago to honor those who have earned the Congressional medal of Honor the highest honor the United States can bestow on a member of the US Armed Forces…

Teen Suicide Brings Wrong Call for Regulation
Society item by Warner Todd Huston

No one wants to see a beautiful 18-year-old girl commit suicide. No one wants to make any worse the pain that surviving family members feel. No one wants to make light of the situation that causes a child or young person to chose suicide, either. But high emotion makes for bad laws and this is no exception…

The Twin Crises: Immigration & Infrastructure
Immigration item by Frosty Wooldridge

On Sunday at church, my preacher said, “If you want to be happy for a moment, eat your favorite meal at your preferred restaurant.  If you want to be happy for a day, get married because the celebration provides much happiness.  If you want to be happy for a lifetime—plant, grow and tend a garden.”

Cubans Starve on Diet of Lies
GreeenIsm item by Dennis T. Avery

The Cubans told the world they had heroically learned to feed themselves without fuel or farm chemicals after their Soviet subsidies collapsed in the early 1990s. They bragged about their “peasant cooperatives,” their biopesticides and organic fertilizers. They heralded their earthworm culture and the predator wasps they unleashed on destructive caterpillars. They boasted about the heroic ox teams they had trained to replace tractors…
