It is truly amazing how many nominally “conservative” media figures are running interference for Barrack Obama, especially considering how many of them demonstrably don’t know what they’re talking about. And Joseph Farah would surely have added National Review to the list had they published their editorial before he wrote his column on the non-issue that […]
Cisbio echoes French atheologist Michel Onfray by repeating a discredited and shabby historical canard as part of a misplaced attempt to criticize The Irrational Atheist: Vox defends the Catholic Church from Onfray’s charge of complicity in the Holocaust, which, says Vox, “is entirely based upon what [Onfray] considers to be the Church’s silence during and […]
And John Stewart was correct to say so, his subsequent retreat notwithstanding. It’s no surprise that those attempting to make a national interest case for defending torture should bend the truth so radically in defense of the intentional mass murder of Japanese civilians: We can all thank Clifford May for having gotten Jon Stewart to […]
Mary Kathryn Gallagher Lopez is a poster girl for what happens when you send a woman to do William F. Buckley’s job: I appreciate the kids’ wanting Rihanna to take some responsibility for her situation. She’s an adult, after all, as is Brown. And if she gets beaten, she should get the heck away from […]
Vox Day interviewed Thomas Woods, the New York Times best-selling author of Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse, on February 25th. Congratulations on Meltdown hitting the bestseller lists. Being the first to get this book out so soon after the September […]

On the day that figures showed the number of people unemployed at a 12-year high, the Office for National Statistics chose to reveal […]
It is quite apparent to everyone by now that the Bush administration has very closely followed in the Hoover administration’s footsteps, and that the Obama administration is almost certainly going to continue doing so as well. But what even some of the more sophisticated observers may not realize is how even the Hoover-Roosevelt response to […]
We would be better off being governed by a group of individuals randomly selected from the phone book than by the collection of graduate degree holders currently in office: US elected officials scored abysmally on a test measuring their civic knowledge, with an average grade of just 44 percent, the group that organized the exam […]
In today’s column, entitled “Geopolitical Sematary“, I noted the way in which NATO entanglements permit the ambitious rulers of sovereign states smaller than most U.S. states to drag the US into conflicts it neither needs nor desires. It’s interesting to note that South Ossetia was not Georgian President Sakaashvili’s first military adventure with his American-funded […]
This paints a somewhat romanticized view of homeschoolers, but it sums up the discomfort felt by others reasonably well: Indications are that home schooling is working well for the kids, and the parents are pleased with their choice, but the practice is coming under increasing suspicion, and even official attack, as in California. Why do […]
