From The American Spectator, if you read one thing today, read "Jihad Blows Up the Liberal Utopia." Jihad has blown up The Liberal Utopia. The visionary liberal land of political and social perfection. President Obama is not happy — and he isn’t alone. You know the place. The Liberal Utopia is a land where gun background [...]

The great Stevie J West expounds on the real celebration going on today -- hint: it ain't about the Earth: Happy “We’re really celebrating the birthday of one of our leftist heroes, Lenin, in addition to the eco-tyranny we’re pushing, but we don’t want to advertise our love of the Bolsheviks to the aggressively ignorant [...]

Luis sent me this essay on the Elian kidnapping and subsequent march on Calle Ocho. It was so perfect and heartfelt for the sad anniversary of that black day thirteen years ago that I asked for his permission to publish it. I think you will cry and feel a little pride in who and why [...]

Somebody call Crayola. I have an idea for a new crayon color ... "Blur". The U.S. government and MSM are increasingly coloring everything in shades of "Blur". At the risk of being accused of wearing a tin foil hat... First, not reading a person's Miranda rights in these situations is a huge judgement call, usually [...]

The great Oleg Atbashian at The Peoples Cube has written how Margaret Thatcher changed his "Soviet" heart and mind. It wasn't just Margaret Thatcher's steadfast economic and foreign policies that helped to defeat the Evil Empire and to bring down the Iron Curtain. She also changed hearts and minds — and this author, who grew up [...]

Conrad Black in The New York Sun remembers Margaret Thatcher: [...] When large chunks of her parliamentary party lost their nerve over her free-market economics — a reduction of the top personal income-tax rate to 40 percent, elimination of all currency controls, massive privatization of industry, and right-to-work laws to remove the terror of the labor [...]

Very good essay from a blog called "The Hispanic Conservative": [...] The liberals will court you by feigning empathy. Their hearts will apparently bleed for you. They will tell you that the lot of Hispanics is unfair and that you and they share a common threat- conservatives.  They will say that they care so much about [...]

George Will has written a scathing column on the nation's failed public schools that from K-12, and into "higher learning", have become factories of propaganda. Sounds like someplace else we are very familiar with, no? The real vocation of some people entrusted with delivering primary and secondary education is to validate this proposition: The three [...]

In October of 2008 I posted links to the YouTube videos of the documentary about the Weather Underground. It is a damning documentary that exposes these radical fro what they are. Today, from Michelle Malkin, we learn that a movie -- a hagiography -- is being released about these murderers and terrorists. Is it any wonder [...]

Folks, I think you all know that on this blog we call it like we see it. I have felt for the longest time that we have to stop sugar-coating who these liberals and progressives are and call them what they are: marxists, socialists, and crypto-communists. Here is a case in point, via Trevor Loudon's [...]

Some years back I wrote a piece titled "Tirando Piedras" - Skipping Stones - about a young Cuban-American father's conflict with burdening his young Americanito son with all that is Cuba. I think about that story all the time. Grapple with it. While the handing down of our passions and memories about the real Cuba [...]

Obama repeated the gun-control meme about his intended gun control laws once again yesterday while flanked by the families of gun violence victims (and with bobble-head "Shotgun Joe Biden" by his side), "If it saves just one life..." ... One? Just "one life"? How incredibly absurd that reasoning is. Honestly, are thinking people in this [...]

UPDATE: Rubio signs onto letter promising filibuster on gun control legislation Below is an image copy of the letter Senators Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio wrote and sent to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid regarding their strong defense of the Second Amendment... More at Sen. Marco Rubio's site here. Recently the [...]

The longer this lopsided debate (I say 'lopsided' because those who can immediately, wrongly and unconstitutionally end it with one executive order are in near total power) the more the pro-Constitution voices state perfectly and eloquently the truth that keeps us free in the face of those voices that intend to make us less free [...]

I couldn't resist... *** This is just another example, among many others, of why the GOP is dead. Hey, remember that awesome CPAC speech by Mitch McConnell? The one where Mitch McConnell said — and I quote — “Obamacare should be repealed root and branch. And we’re not backing down from this fight.” And the [...]
