Congratulations to the Swiss, by fifty-eight per cent to forty-two, and by twenty-three cantons to three. The loaded opinion polls are garbage. Their real purpose, not of measuring public opinion but of influencing it, has spectacularly failed to be met. And the True West lives. But so does the pseudo-West. Its brash, vulgar, debt-based, drugged-up, [...]

Why do so many people love Sarah Palin? Why do so many hate her? I cannot recall a politician in recent memory that has been both so loved and so reviled for no discernible reason. When Palin was announced as John McCain’s running mate on the 2008 Republican presidential ticket many conservatives were intrigued, including [...]

We are only two days in, and already we have “learned” that (for the benefit of the American market) there was no link to 9/11, that there were no WMD, and that Saddam Hussein would have been toppled by an internal coup anyway. The one and only argument advanced for British participation in the Iraq [...]

Well, we both send our boys to die for a regime which has legalized rape within marriage, illegal under those misogynistic Taliban. If Afghanistan can have our blood, then Uganda may as well have [...]

Mosques in Switzerland or anywhere else in the West must not have domes and minarets, which are triumphalistic manifestations of an Islamized [...]

MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — The new mantra at The Gap, it seems, is “Two, four, six, eight, ’tis the time to liberate. […] You eighty-six the rules, you do what just feels right.” This all from their multi-spiritual holiday commercial: “Go Christmas, go Hanukkah, go Kwanzaa, go Solstice!” A member of the One True Faith, [...]

Giuliani makes Scozzafava look like Taki. But last time, Hoffman held to the line of Bush and the Club for Growth on immigration. And he held to the line of Bush and Palin on war, including the “War On Terror”. Has he learned the lesson? Capitalism and its wars not only are not conservative, but [...]

This is the point at which the Republicans are called out on abortion. Ideally, when radical feminist Dems threaten to sink the Bill because of Stupak. Don’t bet against that one. Handed the power to save the Bill that, by making most healthcare federally funded, would make abortion all but impossible, what will the GOP [...]

From LouDobbs.com: We, the undersigned citizens of the United States of America, hereby petition the federal government to bring home all of our troops now deployed and stationed throughout the world.
