Jeremiah Wright’s bloated rants against the U.S. are disgusting, false, and scandalous (not to mention really bad news for a certain Senator). But they are not shocking. I am not surprised or amazed at all by the “reverend’s” words. All he did was regurgitate decades of textbook modern leftism. His diatribes are not extreme; they [...]

California’s recent appellate court ruling that stated rather concisely that parents have no constitutional right to educate their children at home has cause quite an uproar. Many homeschooling families in the Golden State and many others nationwide (well aware of California’s infamous “ripple effect” when it comes to social and legal movements) have expressed outrage, [...]

If you would like a textbook example of what I believe is wrong with the American environmentalist worldview, this article pretty much sums it up:

The latest “eco- scandal” flight took place on February 9 after American was forced to cancel one of its four daily services from Chicago to London.

More objective, helpful insight from FemiNazism, via Herr Steinem:
“Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had got captured, shot down and been a POW for eight years. [The media would ask], ‘What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do while you were there as a captive [...]

Three reasons I have doubts that the Billary campaign can take credit for those turbans:
1) You will not convince me there is actually someone on the Clinton who is stupid enough to not realize immediately who would take the blame for the photos. Given the current situations, and high-octane verbal brigade the Clintons have unleased [...]

I propose a new TV ad featuring Bill Clinton, with an announcer bellowing, “You wouldn’t make it in Saudi Arabia.”
On a more serious note, the name for the organization responsible for monitoring such “criminal” behavior could have been lifted right out of Orwell:
The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice [...]

The heartbreaking news out of Northern Illinois University this afternoon is a solemn reminder of the depravity of man, the fragility of our own lives. Not much can be said, except to weep with those who weep. I offer thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims.
With that said, I would like to petition [...]

Last week marked the 35th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, possibly the most divisive and harmful of all the US Supreme Court’s majority opinions. A few places gave the moment its due recognition, but most news sites and blogs skimmed right over it, instead covering the juicier and more galvanizing drama between presidential hopefuls.
