You can only please me when you write a line like that. It’s from The Anchoress as quoted and properly framed by Mike Soja on the subject of the progressive desire for progressing on to dictatorship. The long known perversion … Continue reading →

The Left worked through academentia, through its media salons, through its sniffs and conceits, through its exhausted disdain for Americans themselves, through deep liars like Chomsky and cracker-barrel Marxists like Zinn. Finally, the stage was set. The perfect storm blew. … Continue reading →

Rand Paul just won the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky. He’s the son of Texas Congressman Ron Paul. Both are libertarians. Other than being Ron Paul’s son and a libertarian I don’t know much about Rand Paul, … Continue reading →
