Noonan blithely assumes that while the president has “fully absorbed the general assumptions and sympathies of the political left,” his opponent Mitt Romney reflects “the general attitudes, assumptions and sympathies of […]
By Thomas Sowell It bothers me a little when conservatives call Barack Obama a “socialist.” He certainly is an enemy of the free market, and wants politicians and bureaucrats to make the fundamental decisions about the economy. But that does not mean that he wants government ownership of […]

From HuffPo Canada. Two-thirds—two-fucking-thirds—of this spin-piece’s audience voted in favour of censorship: tie-dye totalitarians! ______________ A Conservative private members’ bill that repeals part of Canada’s hate speech laws has passed the House of Commons with scant media attention, and even less commentary. But it’s being cheered by many […]
From Boston.com. _______ By Claude Fischer Americans aren’t the rugged individuals we think we are.

If this question is answered […]
By Gary Wills Republican operatives describe this year’s presidential election in apocalyptic terms. It will determine our future. It will seal our national fate.

Laurence Vance explains why.
