“As the Holy [sic!] Koran tells us, Be conscious of God and speak always the truth,” President Obama told his audience at the beginning of his much heralded speech in Cairo last week. It was a remarkable performance: not a single significant statement he made on the nature of Islam, or on America’s relationship with the Muslim world, or on the … [Read More]

Should we still have 30,000 troops in North Korea, 50 years after that war ended? Given that the quickest way to gain international respect is to acquire nuclear weapons, do we believe we can prevent every nation on earth from going nuclear forever? If we do how far are we willing to go, how many lives are we willing to sacrifice … [Read More]

About certain moral (and legal) matters, patriotic, freedom-loving Americans agree instinctively. For example: When brave, border patrolmen Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean shot an illegal alien drug dealer in the derriere, they were defending their state, country and countrymen. For hastening the descent into hell of two career criminals, who had broken into the country before breaking and entering at the … [Read More]

Today is the 65th anniversary of D-Day, but I find it strange that it is being commemorated without the Germans. It takes two to tango and two to fight, except back then, when it took the Americans, British, Canadians, and French, not to mention the Polish airforce to subdue the Wehrmacht. Here’s what Alan Clark, a member of Parliament and well … [Read More]

This week, Team Obama took their dog and pony show on the road. Treasury Secretary Geithner went to China, Fed Chairman Bernanke to Capitol Hill, and the President himself began a Mideast tour in Saudi Arabia. This full-court press is not coincidental, and comes just as the federal government has begun unloading trillions of dollars in new Treasury obligations. The coordinated … [Read More]

Pat Buchanan and I have some differences–some major differences. He is a Catholic; I am a Protestant. He is a conservative; I am a libertarian. He is a protectionist; I am a free-trader. He has disparaged Wal-Mart; I spend most of my money there. He believes Alexander Hamilton was one of the greatest of the Founding Fathers; I much prefer Thomas … [Read More]

The end of civilization has arrived, and I’m mad as hell about it.  Last week I went to a wedding in the Canary Islands.  I was invited to a magnificent hotel owned by the father of the bride, only to find myself surrounded by contemptuous twerps. While I can appreciate how taxing it is to make polite conversation, what on earth … [Read More]

SINDELFINGEN—Sindelfingen is a suburb of Stuttgart, and is known as the German Detroit, except that Sindelfingen is a vibrantly green and leafy town of 60,000 people, half of whom are employed by Mercedes, whereas Detroit is a dying, crime-ridden city of burnt-out blocks and empty lots where angels fear to tread in case they’re mugged and their wings ripped off and … [Read More]

“I have to admire the residents of Iroquois territory for assuming that they have a right to determine where Jews lives in Jerusalem.” Thus did Israeli government press director Daniel Seamen caustically dismiss President Obama’s opposition to Israel’s right to “natural growth” of its settlements in Arab East Jerusalem and on the West Bank. Though Obama’s address in Cairo broke no … [Read More]

In declaring secession illegal, and the U.S. a consolidated state, Abraham Lincoln enacted the first income tax, the first draft, supported internal improvements and nationalizing banks. Such centralizing, socialistic and militaristic restructuring of America was certainly more comparable to the fascism that defined Hitler’s Germany than the agrarian-based economies and loose-knit state militias that defined the Confederate States of America. … [Read More]
