Time to START Standing Up for America
By Phyllis Schlafly Among the dangers lurking in Congress's fall session and Lame Duck Session will be Obama's demand that the Senate rush to ratify the treaty called New START, which he signed with the Russians in Prague last April.

Two Crazy Greens
By Alan Caruba For a few hours on Wednesday the nation’s attention was on James J. Lee who took hostages at the Discovery Communications headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland.

More Unaccountable Obama Czars

Carbon Dioxide Riches Disappear
By Alan Caruba The headlines report the way the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been lying and some, myself included, are calling for an end to this snakes’ nest of global deception.

Glenn: Same-sex Marriage is a Threat to America and Our Kids
By Bryan Fischer Glenn Beck veered disastrously off-course on the Bill O’Reilly program two weeks ago when he said that same-sex marriage is not “a threat to the country.” Glenn, Glenn, wake up and smell the arsenic, my friend. It’s a threat to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association, and worst, represents a [...]
President Obama Cannot Possibly Be a Christian
By Bryan Fischer Someone who calls himself a “Christian” must, at a bare minimum, have some allegiance to the teachings of Christ. And this allegiance must, of course, be greatest on matters of the greatest importance, especially the question of life after death. On this criterion, President Obama is guilty of an epic fail. He said [...]

How I Learned to Love the Bomb
By Alan Caruba As a child in the 1950s, I learned how to “duck and cover” in order to protect myself from an atomic bomb explosion.

People Have Noticed
By Alan Caruba "Apres moi le deluge”, “After me, the flood” and though attributed to the French King Louis XV, historians believe it was actually said by Jeanne Poisson, Madame de Pompadour.

Update on Wisconsin Speech Restrictions
Liberty Alerts, Congress Shall Make No Law, Anthony Sanders It turns out we were a little too quick in our post last week proclaiming the end of the case challenging the new Wisconsin campaign finance rule.

Why Are Liberals Blind to Evil in the World?
By Alan Caruba Why do so many Jews, located primarily in New York City, Los Angeles, and in Florida, mindlessly vote the Democrat Party line and thus support the Democrat destruction of the nation remains a mystery to me, but the same can be also said of Afro-Americans.

Free Enterprise Zone, The Freeman, Sheldon Richman I predict Thomas Geoghegan’s new book, Were You Born on the Wrong Continent?, will ignite a vigorous debate over which is better: American capitalism or German socialism.

The EPA Must Be Stopped
By Alan Caruba On August 12, the Environmental Protection Agency sent out a press release, “EPA Proposes Rules on Clean Air Act Permitting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions”.
