From Heritage Key. ————————————————————————————————- The Greek City-state, or Polis, is arguably the greatest political system ever created – remarkable given its appearance some 2800 years ago.

Great interview with Roberts on Russia Today. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— There is a bill in the Senate that is attempting to keep torture alive as an interrogation technique. The National Defense Authorization Act is being debated in Congress and if passed, American citizens could be detained without a court hearing […]
Article by Ian Huyett. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————— In September 2011, the Obama administration launched “We the People” – a program that allows anyone to submit a petition directly to the White House.

Article by Ian Huyett. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- In 2001, dictator Robert Mugabe had just run Zimbabwe’s economy into the ground and was desperate for a way to revive it.

A broken clock is still right twice a day. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Where Ron Paul Is Right The drug war works about as well as prohibition of alcohol did.

Article by Nosakhare Boadi. —————————————————————————————————————————————————- International non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are global contractors, hired to execute the foreign policies of imperialism.

Thank Lucifer. Alex Kurtagic reviews Pat Buchanan’s new work. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————-Pat Buchanan’s Suicide of a Superpower is an apt follow-up to his 2002 volume, The Death of the West.

Article by Andy Nowicki. —————————————————————————————————————————————————– Like Anders Behring Breivik with a side order of gratiutious profanity, but without the mass murder or the effete Nordic beauty and literary pretensions, Emma West, the “epic tram lady,” has become an instant folk hero to many on the Right.

From Dancing Czars. ————————————————————————————————————————————————- How The U.S. Will Become A 3rd World Country The United States is increasingly similar to a 3rd world county in several ways and is accelerating towards 3rd world status.

Excellent. Maybe “the troops” will now have a distraction from raping local women in U.S.-occupied lands. It doesn’t get any better than this: Former Army Col. Bob Maginnis said some military lawyers have indicated that bestiality may be prosecutable under another section of the military code of justice […]
Gang warfare Israeli-style. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– An indictment was filed Thursday against a key member of an extremist ultra-Orthodox faction following a “reign of terror” in Jerusalem’s Mea She’arim neighborhood.

Bill Lind’s classic. Doesn’t this sound just like the anti-ATS chorus? The most deadly aspect of Cultural Marxism/Totalitarian Humanism is that it identifies broad categories of human beings that are undefined as evil by virtue of their mere existence as the principal enemy, as opposed to attacking specific […]
All about Distributivism. It’s always seemed to me that the appropriate economic paradigm for anarcho-pluralism/pan-secessionism would be a synthesis of distributivist ideas like John promotes and the ideas of classical libertarian socialism of the kind Larry Gambone has described in detail incorporated into a broader ideological framework of libertarian […]
Article by Larry Gambone. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— I see Occupy’s situation today as analogous to that of the Civil Rights Movement. As long as they stayed in the South Northern liberals loved them. But when the movement went North and started confronting racism there, it became “Dr. King, you are […]

So says a liberal writer from Salon. Com. —————————————————————————————————————————————————– Ron Paul, phony populist (Credit: AP) TOPICS:RON PAUL, 2012 ELECTIONS, POPULISM To me, the epiphany of the most dreadful presidential campaign in history took place in Keene, New Hampshire, last week, when a Ron Paul town meeting was interrupted by some Occupy Wall Street […]

From Veterans Today. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Our uniquely massive support for Israel has cost trillions of dollars and multitudes of lives.

The majority of Americans – as well as our diplomatic and military experts – […]
Article by Fred Reed. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– Justice at Last by dumpdc Count’em by Fred Reed (Editor’s Note: Here is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek article about how legislation really works.

The neocons’ favorite Democrat makes an ass of himself again. —————————————————————————————————————————————————– Senator Joe Lieberman’s latest battle is making sure that more things can be branded as terrorism on the Internet.

…and then says no to any further dialogue. In some ways, this discussion reminds me of the foreign policy debates between realists and liberal-humanist-universalists. Not coincidentally, the realist George Kennan became a supporter of something resembling pan-secessionism in his final years, whereas supporters of “human rights internationalism” typically […]
Watch the video. This is a great discussion, and an example of the kind of civil and intelligent dialogue between the radical Left and radical Right that there needs to be more of.
Article by Charles Coulombe. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— The latest flap over a Benetton ad campaign is far from the first in that notoriously tasteless company’s history.

Article by Jim Goad. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— This has been the Year of the Vermin. With the Arab Spring, the black flash mobs, the London riots, and the OWS camper babies, we’ve had an eyeful of what “the people” really look like. It ain’t pretty. They don’t look nearly as […]
