Dr. Strangehold: How the Republicans Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the “Third Way” — Diane Alden
By Diane Alden The NewsMax Years The rallying cry for the journey down the "Third Way" ought to be: "Cry havoc! Slip loose the dogs of the trite bromide!" (Apologies to Shakespeare.)

Robert Welch: Defining the Isms
Liberty Letters Quote of the Day, Robert Welch There are many stages of welfarism, socialism, and collectivism in general, but communism is the ultimate state of them all, and they all lead inevitably in that direction.

Private Property: Right From God, Friend of Republics, by Steve Farrell
Missing the Mark With Religion, Part 18 To possess a memory is to be blessed with a priceless good. It is our link to the past, our guidepost to the present and our passport to the future.
