Walter E Williams: Loving And Hating America

Check with those voting with their feet.      As I've documented in the past, many leftist teachers teach our youngsters to hate our country. For example, University of Hawaii Professor Haunani-Kay Trask counseled her students, "We need to think very, very clearly about who the enemy is. The enemy is the United States of America and everyone who  ... MORE

Climate Depot: A Very Inconvenient Truth For Warmers

1,122 Record Cold Temps in the U.S. in one week!
Forecast shows new lows for much of north and west will likely continue. Where’s that global warming when we need it?   ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Hating America

Indoctrination against liberty.      Brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who are accused of setting the bombs that exploded at the Boston Marathon, attended the University of Massachusetts. Maybe they hated our nation before college, but if you want lessons on hating America, college attendance might be a good start. Let's look   ... MORE

Barry Farber: Is This America, Or The Losers' Lounge?

A much needed pep talk. Rush Limbaugh says he’s ashamed to be an American. Glenn Beck says it’s time to surrender. Neal Boortz entitles his book summing up 42 years of talk-radio stardom “Maybe I Should Just Shut Up And Go Away.” One of our most effective columnists, Paul Hollrah, who served twice on the Electoral College and beat the Democratic    ...

Barry Farber: American Exceptionalism? Off The Charts!

Why hide from the facts?  More than half of the American population believes the best days of this country are behind us. That might be depressing if America’s best days were less than they truly were. As it stands, it’s about as depressing as Bill Gates crying “Poverty!” if his fortune were to dip from 100 billion dollars down to around, say   ... MORE

Rachel Maddow's Blind Deference To Government Power

by Sheldon Richman.    Is there a difference between government and society? Rachel Maddow seems to think not. Pay close attention to these words from the MSNBC host's promo as she attempts to defend "America" against those who (in her view) believe its best days are in the past: "No, no, no. We're not going to build it. No, No, No. America ... MORE

Mark Steyn: The Edge Of The Abyss

American society is more liberal and statist than ever. Amid the ruin and rubble of the grey morning after, it may seem in poor taste to do anything so vulgar as plug the new and stunningly topical paperback edition of my book, After America — or, as Dennis Miller retitled it on the radio the other day, Wednesday. But the business of America is business,   ... MORE

Stella Paul: So This IS What "God Damn America" Looks Like

Jeremiah Wright watches dreams come true. Four years ago, our media overlords assured us that President Empty Chair was really Candidate Empty Pew -- a parishioner who sat for 20 years in Reverend Jeremiah Wright's nutty, hate-mongering church and never heard a single word. "God bless America?  No, no, no!  God d*mn America!" thundered      ...

E Spitzer: We Must Defend Even The Ugliest Free Speech

-- Especially when there are riots. At the annual meeting of the U.N. General Assembly this week, plenty of voices will be heard, including that of the hateful president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and not one of those voices will be censored. Rarely has the value of free speech been so threatened. The arc of the unfortunate story is now well-told:    ... MORE

VIDEO: US Prison Population: The Largest in the World


Many incarcerated for statutory crimes in which no one's rights were violated.

Thomas Sowell: "Issues" Or America?

Obama reelection means arbitrary rule by decree.      There are some very serious issues at stake in this year's election — so many that some people may not be able to see the forest for the trees. Individual issues are the trees, but the forest is the future of America as we have known it. The America that has flourished for more than two centuries is being  ... MORE

4th Of July Special: The Americans Who Risked Everything

by Rush H. Limbaugh Jr (the talk radio host's father). It was a glorious morning. The sun was shining and the wind was from the southeast. Up especially early, a tall, bony, readheaded young Virginian found time to buy a new thermometer, for which he paid three pounds, fifteen shillings. He also bought gloves for Martha, his wife, who was ill at home.                 ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: The Fourth Of July

The Fourth of July may be just a holiday for fireworks to some people. But it was a momentous day for the history of this country and the history of the world. Not only did July 4, 1776 mark American independence from England, it marked a radically different kind of government from the governments that prevailed around the world at the time —  and the kinds of governments that had prevailed for thousands ...
