The Orlando Shooting: Obama's Sin

You can search the history of mankind, and you will never find a successful society that,when under attack, did not clearly define its enemies and gather its resources together in order to vigorously fight those enemies by means of education, law enforcement, and military means when necessary. A society that fails to do this does not survive.

Trump and Roosevelt's Rough Riders

The primary season is over. The real campaign now begins. Can Donald Trump make good on his promise and "make America great again?" If he handles Hillary Clinton like he handled the GOP aspirants to the nomination, then we will be swearing in a most unusual President of the United States on January 20, 2017 - a veritable "force of nature" who does not back down, who unfortunately is bombastic and crude, but also undeniably a patriot of the highest order.

The Police State and Moral Relativism

An insidious police state is stealing over America today. We as a country have become like a freezing man slipping off to sleep in a blizzard, incapable of recognizing the demise of the liberty and honor on which we were formed. Our liberal-neocon intelligentsia are responsible for this. Their perfidy is comprised of five elements:

Overcoming the Politics of Slavery

For the past 100 years we have taught the "politics of slavery" to our young, but are now shocked because they have grown into ruthless bureaucrats and apathetic sheep.

Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace

What are the sources of the interminable wars throughout the world today? Why are militant Muslims terrorizing Europe and America? What has caused the turmoil in Ukraine? Is Vladimir Putin desirous of reigniting the Cold War? Does he represent a dangerous threat to the West as his predecessors in the Kremlin did? What role do our own politicians and intellectuals play in this increasing eagerness for war?

Trump vs. the New World Order

The enemies of freedom today saturate our culture like lunacy pervades an asylum. We as Americans suffer inexcusable tax tyranny and relentless Federal Reserve inflation of our currency. Our schools disguise socialism as Americanism to our children. Our pundits succumb to the evil of moral relativism in effusive editorials. Our spineless politicians capitulate at every opportunity to Washington's march toward World Government instead of doing their honorable duty, which is to defend the Constitution, defend the Founders,defend American sovereignty.

Trump’s Precarious Path to the Nomination

George Orwell told us, “The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” Donald Trump has spoken powerful truths to America on immigration, trade policy, foreign wars, media integrity, and Republican competence. The political establishment has responded with tidal waves of vitriol and mendacity. Consequently Trump’s path to the GOP nomination is now racked with dangerous pitfalls and hate-filled Rinos waiting in the bushes to smear his image in any way they can.

Free Trade vs. Fair Trade

The argument over trade and whether governments should allow it to be “free” goes back to the latter 18th, early 19th century economists, Adam Smith, David Ricardo and James Mill. They could be said to be the fathers of the free trade movement that is still argued over today.

Reflections on the Revolution

I believe Donald Trump to be a man of character and honor, not the caricature that a desperate establishment is painting of him. Sure, I'm uncomfortable with the bombast. But despite this, I support his wrecking ball efforts to roust the D.C. grafters and mealy-mouths of the GOP and restore some truth to the American political landscape.

Collapse of the GOP Establishment

For the past five years Americans for a Free Republic (AFR) has been working to mount an independent political challenge to the power elites of Washington who dominate our lives with a hideous regulatory state that one finds in dystopian novels.

Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump

I watched the GOP debates from New Hampshire this weekend, but endured only 30 minutes of the Iowa debate. I cannot watch Megyn Kelly without feeling repulsed. She is the hatchet girl for Rupert Murdoch's Fox News to take down Donald Trump's challenge of the establishment. She fancies herself a daring journalist, but hasn't got the intellect to grasp the big picture, which is what is required to really be daring.

The Coming Economic Crash

Last fall I wrote that "our stock market is like the Titanic on April 15, 1912. It is living onborrowed time, and all the King's men and horses are not going to be able to put this Keynesian Humpty back together again."

Saul Alinsky's Radical Spawn

Most Americans believe that we won the fight against Communism when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and Khrushchev's famous boast that they would bury us proved to be empty. Not so. Communism is a monster of two guises. There is Marxist-Leninism and there is Gramsciism from Antonio Gramsci, an Italian communist thinker who broke with Marx and Lenin in the 1920s. The former preaches the violent overthrow of capitalism; the latter preaches the subtle subversion of capitalism and its ultimate transformation into tyrannical "mega-statism" over time.

Singularity: Another Collectivist Myth

Ending the Income Tax and the IRS

Imagine for a moment America without an income tax. No more tedious record keeping of all our expenses. No more April 15th deadlines. No more insufferable complexity and exasperating forms. It would no longer be government’s business how much money we earn and what we do with it. Such a reform would dramatically change the lives of every one of us for the better.

Equal Rights: The Foundation of America

The fundamental principle of the Declaration of Independence, which undergirds our political and legal systems in this country, is that all citizens possess "equal rights under the law." Our whole concept of rights is based upon their being equal for all citizens of the Republic.

Muslim Immigration: Boon or Bane?

Should it be permissible to freely choose who we like and dislike in life? To disparage certain religions because of their irrationality? To feel uncomfortable around two males kissing in public? To want to live among one’s own kind in regards to intelligence, values and cultural mores?

Cruz, Obama, and Eligibility

I recently wrote an article, "Trump's VP Choice and Eligibility," which you may have read and passed on to others. If anyone has disputed the article to you, linked below is an updated and much better version that should settle the issue once and for all. The law of the land states that Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal are ineligible to be President because they were born of alien parents and thus not "natural born." But the law also states that Ted Cruz is a "natural born citizen" and thus is eligible for the Presidency.

Trump's VP Choice and Eligibility

Patriots of America endorse Donald Trump for President. He transcends all other candidates. But if he wins the GOP nomination, an important question will be his running mate. What if Trump picks Ted Cruz for second spot on the ticket? Conservatives need to get united on this because it's a distinct possibility. Nominees often choose one of their strongest challengers especially if they come from a state with lots of electoral votes. Cruz is from Texas (38 electoral votes). Trump is from New York (29 electoral votes). Only California has more votes (55) than Texas and New York.

Media Darling Conservatives

Ponder this: Why are conservatives such as William Bennett, George Will, Bill Kristol, et al so graciously accepted by the prevailing liberal establishment? Why is there almost a commraderie between today's prominent conservatives and liberals? It is because today's conservatives do not challenge the moral premise of statism. Most of today's conservative leaders are brilliant intellects, but they accept statism's violation of individual rights and its conveyance of special privileges to a myriad of factions.
