The Kennedys and Their Magical Common-Man Friends

Kennedy family folklore? The Kennedy political dynasty has certainly been blessed with blue-collar friends awaiting them at the start of their political careers.

White House homeland security advisor Fran Townsend made the rounds of the TV morning shows on Wednesday – except for NBC, which was too busy chronicling the Senate Democrat stunt on Iraq.

NYT Still Smarting Over Second Amendment's Victory

It amuses and gratifies a supporter of the Second Amendment to see the New York Times, the so-called "paper of record," so constantly reduced to sputtering fools over their constant loss in the battle for draconian gun control measures, and the July 17th editorial from the Times is yet another example of how they just don't understand why the average American would pressure their Congressional…

How Pornography Undermines Personal Responsibility and Freedom

The political and cultural Left have a deep interest in promoting pornography. Millions of men who might have championed the moral high ground in the public square feel that they dont have the right to take up any moral causes, given their own moral failures.
