I remember the first time that I read the novel Lord of the Flies. It gave me the same sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach as Orwell’s masterpiece 1984. I recall having a feeling of relief come over me as I turned the final pages on these great works. Finally, I was set free from the ugly worlds created [...]
Bertha Lewis, ringleader of the organized crime syndicate ACORN (which is now in bankruptcy court), is now making threats against Fox News. No doubt the former vagrant who is constitutionally incapable of telling the truth is angry because Fox had the absolute best coverage in the land of the various ACORN scandals over the past two [...]
Earlier this week, I asked Lori Heine who and where the “statist control freak” social conservatives she’s afraid of are, pointing out that what’s commonly referred to as the social conservative agenda isn’t statist at all. She responds by conceding that her fears might be overblown, but still has a few concerns: People like Farah [...]
The cult classic film “Blue Velvet” focused on the seedy goings-on under the surface of American suburbia.

Language is a powerful tool. Those who define what words mean (or are at least believed to mean) can drastically influence our government and culture. According to the Left’s lexicon, killing is “choice,” racial discrimination is “affirmative action,” thought control is “sensitivity training,” and property confiscation is “economic justice.” But does the Right play similar [...]
“They need it.” That is becoming a well-nigh unanswerable argument in Washington today. Anytime programs are proposed that spend money on aid of some type, the final, clinching argument is usually to point to some individual or segment of society that is putatively in need, and whose need (it is implied) can only be met [...]
Sarah Palin deserves the Congressional Gold Medal. The award is given to a civilian who “performs an outstanding deed or act of service to the security, prosperity and national interest of the United States.” No one in recent memory has ticked off the so-called liberal Hollywood Left more than the mighty huntress herself.
