Is Huntsman Really For Limited Government?
By Jack Kerwick Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman has just barely been able to have his voice heard in the Republican Party’s presidential primary race, so low are his polling numbers.

Goodbye UNESCO a Model for Goodbye UN
By Phyllis Schlafly A trigger provision buried in U.S. laws since 1990 quietly took effect at the end of October.

Will Warmists Face Justice for their Deceptions?
By Alan Caruba When you murder someone the case is never closed. The same holds when you murder the truth.

Gov. Christie Should Not Get in the GOP Race
By Alan Caruba Does anybody recall the frenzy surrounding the question of whether Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and Fox News host of his own show, would toss his hat in the ring and seek the GOP nomination?

Global Warming, R.I.P.
By Alan Caruba Have you noticed that you rarely hear “global warming” mentioned on radio or television and the term rarely occurs any more in the print media?

Parsing the (Very) Bad News
By Alan Caruba The dictionary says “parse” means to break down into component parts of speech with an analysis of the form, function, and syntactical relationship of each part.

Busybodies, Nags and Control Freaks
By Alan Caruba Not long ago I saw a television documentary on the rise of the Third Reich in Germany. I have, in addition, read any number of books on the period of the 1920s and 30s. The lesson it teaches is that the Nazis did not suddenly arise, take control, and impose a totalitarian government on Germans. It was a matter of slow progress [...]
The EPA Versus the USA
By Alan Caruba It seems almost beyond reason that a single U.S. agency could so hate America that it was prepared to ignore the Constitution, distort a Supreme Court decision, and impose its will on the nation in the name of totally discredited science. That, however, is what the Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to do while [...]

Refusing to Report the Truth — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba I attended the first two International Climate Change Conferences when they were held in New York City, but a change of venue to the hometown of The Heartland Institute, Chicago, was enough to discourage someone like myself who no longer enjoys travel of any kind for any reason.

June 17, 2009: A World Afloat on an Ocean of Oil
By Alan Caruba Considering how much untapped oil is known to exist, not just in the United States, but worldwide, one would think that its current price was some kind of anomaly and it is.
