  • Guest Commentary: Our Broken Constitution

    By Bruce Walker The recent news stories that Obama intends to implement much of his health care agenda through executive orders shows just how broken the Constitution of the United States has become.  The foundational document of American government provides no legislative power in the presidency – none, zero, nada.  George Washington felt that even…

  • Guest Commentary: Fabian Conservatism

    By Bruce Walker Conservatives , the overwhelming majority of Americans, are angry with the Republican Party leadership and how politics has been  played since Ronald Reagan left office.   Often Republican nominees have seemed to copy Bill Clinton’s “triangulation” or strategically placing themselves as the arbitrators between conservatives and leftists.   McCain luxuriated in fawning media coverage…

  • Guest Piece: The Long, Grey Line

    There is, however, another Long Grey Line –in one of the places you would probably least expect it. You will find it in America’s independently owned commercial banks.

  • Guest Piece: How Democrats Win Senate Seats

    The Democrats have done it again. When Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts and John Kerry was running for president, the ultra-partisan Massachusetts Legislature changed the law to remove from Governor Romney the right to appoint a successor to Kerry, if the senator should be elected president. The new law required, instead, that the people…

  • Guest Piece: Islam is Misunderstood

    By Amil Imani Everybody just relax. Islam is badly misunderstood. The negative stereotype of Islam is the usual evil-doings of Zionists in America and their foolish fellow travelers, fundamentalist Christians. Please don’t listen to what these hatemongers say about Islam and hear us out. So implies the nationally-launched campaign of Muslim organizations in the United…

  • Guest Piece: The Ugly American

    By Bruce Walker Five decades ago, during the heart of the Cold War, a term entered modern political vocabulary:  The Ugly American.  Based upon a 1958 novel of the same name, the phrase began to be used to describe the whole range of thoughtless mistakes which Americans made and which led to the loss of…

  • Guest Piece: Why Obama Could Not Stage a Coup

    By Bruce Walker Some conservatives have begun to openly wonder if Obama is going to seize power in America.  Would he want to do this?  Perhaps so (which is a scary.)  No one dreamed that Carter, the worst president of the last century, wanted or planned to seize power.  Clinton wanted to win power, but…

  • Guest Piece: The Wages of Appeasemennt

    By Bruce Walker The world has known for many years that the wages of appeasement are the loss of moral high ground to monstrous villains.  During the Cold War, although America usually kept its military power adequate to deter Soviet aggression, the American Left (and European Left) blithely pretended that a regime which conspired with…
