This post first appeared at Salon, on July 6, 1999. The other day I picked up a phone message from a woman concerning a charity event for homeless youngsters that I was helping organize in Hollywood. The woman is a liberal, and she said she had found a friend who was willing to volunteer her [...]

I don’t think Democratic voters, disillusioned with Obama, are going to come out in force on Tuesday and I think that Republicans — scared for their country to a greater degree than they have ever been — will. It is my guess (and it is a guess) that the tide against the Democrats is so [...]

This article first appeared in Salon, on October 25, 1999. The other day I received an e-mail from a stranger posing two questions that have been on my mind for some time; thus his message seemed uncannily personal. “I was curious,” the writer said, “if you have ever looked at your political ‘apostasy’ and wondered [...]

This article first appeared in Salon on January 18, 1999. What is it with progressives? Why do they feel the need to lie so relentlessly about who they are? Recently Rigoberta Menchú’s autobiography was exposed as a complete hoax. Now it’s Betty Friedan’s turn to be revealed as a feminist fibber. In a new book, [...]

This article first appeared in Salon on December 6, 1999. Winston Churchill once remarked that there was nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result. Perhaps that’s why he enjoyed being a conservative — it guaranteed he would frequently be a target. Recently, I dodged my own political bullet when columnist Jack White [...]

The unspoken truth about the fighting in Gaza, which began on December 19, 2008, when Hamas rockets broke a voluntary truce, is that this is the frontline of a much larger war. This war began 30 years ago with the Islamic Revolution in Iran and is now global in scope. Its agenda is the extermination [...]

This article was first published in FrontPage Magazine on October 24, 2008. For a conservative, the hazards of speaking on a college campus are more extensive than you might think. Once the security guards are in place – as they inevitably must be – the risk of getting pied or physically attacked or having one’s [...]

From Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs: As predicted here at Atlas, the vile Islamic supremacist, through massive voter fraud (isn’t always how they get their way?), has taken the electon. In my New York Times interview here, I repeated what I have said and thought for some time — that the first country that will be Islamic [...]

This article was first published in Salon on August 16, 1999. When the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced plans recently to file an injunctive class-action suit “to force [gun manufacturers] to distribute their product responsibly,” the NAACP president, Kweisi Mfume, noted that gun violence takes a disproportionately high toll among young [...]

Jesse Jackson has betrayed the civil rights movement by defending young thugs who need to be punished, not babied. You could be forgiven for thinking that I’d hired Jesse Jackson to launch his campaign in behalf of the “Decatur 6″ to promote my book “Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes.” The book is about the [...]

If you want to understand Barack Obama’s radical agendas and the socialist movement in which he spent twenty years molding himself as a leader, and preparing for his role as president and commander-in-chief, put down whatever you are reading and pick up a copy of Stanley Kurtz’s new book Radical-In-Chief. This indispensable work contains a wealth [...]

My friend Ron Radosh has once again mistaken a political hatchet job for a historical argument. Sean Wilentz’ target in this case is Glenn Beck and through him the tea party movement. To his credit Ron responds to Wilentz’ dishonest attack on the Tea Party movement with an honorable defense. But he gives credence to [...]

The principal lesson of the past century is that the free markets are good for humanity, whereas the socialist utopian vision creates nothing but misery. But guess who hasn’t learned this yet? In the end, a “millennium” is too big a concept for the imagination. A thousand years equals 30 generations, a duration that has [...]

I’ve been following the Newsreal debate between Phyllis Chesler and Jamie Glazov on the one hand and Naomi Wolf, who thinks America, the most “liberated” country on the face of the earth by any — any — progressive standard (treatment of minorities, of women, of the poor, freedom of the individual), is a proto-fascist state [...]
My book The Professors has garnered a fair share of attention. There are already 3 million web references to “dangerous professors,” its subtitle. While obviously not all the Google references are to my book, a glance will show that all of the references on the first ten pages of the index are. (I leave it [...]

The big news during Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week was the disruption of my speech at Emory University by leftists who, it so happens, weren’t actually students. They were members of the Coalition United for Peace and Justice, one of the leading groups in the movement to save the Islamo-Fascist regime in Iraq from being overthrown by [...]

This article was first published here on Sept 11, 2009. Those who were surprised by the White House appointment of Van Jones – a self-styled “communist,” and a proponent of the idea that the Katrina catastrophe was caused by “white supremacy,” haven’t been paying attention to developments on the left since the fall of Communism, or [...]

From Jeff Jacoby: ORGANIZED LABOR in the United States achieved a milestone in 2009 that once would have been unthinkable: for the first time, union members working in government jobs outnumbered those working in the private sector. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the number of unionized private employees fell last year to [...]
