Is a Good, Old-Fashioned Purge in Order for the GOP?


On November 19, Pravda’s Xavier Lerma wrote an article asserting that President (I use the term loosely) Barack Obama had been re-elected “by an illiterate society.” Some conservatives have been wont to dismiss and ridicule some of the dead-on assessments of the former Soviet newspaper since it was once in fact a Soviet newspaper.

Desperate Times, Desperate Measures


Some years back, I penned a column outlining the virtues of imperialism and the colonialist practices of America and European nations in bygone days. Of course, it came under fire by those who charged that this was tantamount to defending slavery or Jim Crow laws in the U.S. My argument was probably the same as that of many pro-colonialists of the period (from the 15th century through the mid-20th century). This consisted of the belief that colonialism was, in addition to being profitable, a better idea than allowing undeveloped societies to advance unchecked, while obtaining just enough knowledge and modern technology to threaten their neighbors.

Showing Liberty the Door

It is a sad irony at this time when Thanksgiving Day is being celebrated in America, that one of the things Americans had to be most thankful about – their liberty – is going away. It is not simply in danger of going away, as it was throughout the last century and over the last thirteen years; it is on its way out.

Now it Gets Ugly


Americans are confused. I realize that’s probably the understatement of the year, but I am referring not to the apparent insensibility of those who continue to support President Barack Obama, but to the perplexed state of those who are attempting to make sense out of the election outcome itself, as well as events that have taken place since. In short, it is mind-boggling that the man was re-elected considering the shape America is in, and his being the most dismal record of any President in American history.

Did Civil War Just Become Inevitable?

So… Barack Obama won re-election to the office of President of the United States, and Republican challenger Mitt Romney has slipped into obscurity faster than any candidate I’ve ever seen. Aside from futile, quasi-navel gazing posturing on the part of Congress over the “fiscal cliff” upon which the American economy is perched, news coverage since the election has been rife with diversion and non-issues.

Yes… I’m a Hater

As dangerous a practice as it has proven to be, I still can’t help but finding amusement in the political left’s Orwellian employment of the term “hate.” Nearly every conservative or libertarian with a social media account has experienced liberal flameage and accusations of being a “hater” upon casually expressing any number of conservative or libertarian opinions.

The Die is Cast


Whoever is victorious in the election for President of the United States today, some very pertinent facts have become clear, and many of these are positive in nature. That said, personally I have found this election cycle to be the most disgusting I have even seen in America. The vitriol, misrepresentation, and outright lies emanating from the Obama camp and liberal Super PACs surpasses anything I have previously witnessed – and I’ve witnessed some questionable campaigns.

The Fear of the Fickle Money Traders

Fear can freeze a deer in the headlights of a car, cause a grizzly bear to flee at the sound of a loud noise, or cause a consortium of international banking interests to start having heart palpitations. Recent interviews with highly-placed officials in a number of European and South American banking circles indicates a new, almost irrational fear that is beginning to rise among them. It’s not about inflation, depression or recession, but it is so frightening to these individuals that they are being driven to talk about something they typically never talk about.

The Press and the Race Card Gambit


Early in the election cycle, I indicated my belief that the Obama campaign itself would likely leave the race-baiting to its surrogates, rather than directly engaging in same. Bearing in mind that there’s still time left to prove me wrong, my supposition has pretty much held up thus far. The relish with which said surrogates have flung the race card about has not only surpassed the 2008 election cycle, but has included some of the most craven, despicable – and now desperate – race-based rhetoric I’ve heard in decades.

Benghazi: No Other Explanation Fits

On October 4 in Canada Free Press, I wrote a column entitled Was Ambassador Stevens’ Death a Hit?, so suspicious did I find the circumstances surrounding the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, Libya at that time. On October 25, I followed up with Obama’s Feet of Clay, in which I discussed the likelihood that President Barack Obama failed to react to the attack despite real-time knowledge of developments in Benghazi because he wished to obscure or bury evidence of the administration’s gun running activities to Libyan and Syrian rebels.

Obama’s Feet of Clay


A lot of Americans who supported Barack Obama in 2008 regret having supported him, sufficiently so that they will not be voting for him this time around – and they’ve said as much. Should Obama be voted out of office on November 6, it is quite probable that so much dirt pertaining to him will subsequently emerge that millions more supporters will be so ashamed they won’t wish to admit ever having supported him.

Was Ambassador Stevens’ death a hit?

It certainly is a challenging time for President Barack Obama. He is in a desperate fight to hold his ill-gotten office against a capable opponent, and there is nothing whatsoever in his record to which he can point as redeeming. Some of his criminal activities are coming to light outside the sphere of his direct influence in the form of a recent exposé on the Fast and Furious scandal aired by the Spanish-language television network Univision.
