In a manner entirely reflective of the rest of the corporate world, foreign competitors worm their way into a segment of the market, often enjoying special treatment that, were it rendered upon American businesses, would be classified as outrageously protectionist.

The orchestrated international outrage over the death and mayhem at Qana leads to only two possible conclusions. The first possibility is that Hezbollah possesses an incredibly capable global publicity machine. Yet all aspects of that organization show it to be little more than an oversized street gang, fervent in its devotion and animalistic in its ferocity, but hardly able to oversee the worldwide dissemination of propaganda.

Just last week, an op-ed appeared in USA Today which could confirm the darkest and most hysterical fears among liberals that America might degenerate into a tyrannical and oppressive “theocracy.” Friday, July 21, 2006 10:49:17 AM
In a July 3 article on Townhall, columnist Michael Barone laments the possibility that Congress may not pass any immigration “reform” legislation this year. However, he pins some hope on a proposal being advocated by Representative Mike Pence (R.-IN). Thursday, July 13, 2006 08:25:31 AM
It should be glaringly obvious from the widespread Democrat excommunication of Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman (D.-CN) that the Party is verging on political implosion. That is, of course, unless those GOP “moderates” once again ride to the rescue. It has happened before. Thursday, July 06, 2006 02:57:22 PM
"All the citizens, being equal in [the eyes of the law], are equally admissible to all public dignities, places, and employments, according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their virtues and of their talents." Thursday, June 29, 2006 10:45:59 AM
Less than a week after seven aspiring Muslims were arrested in Florida as they plotted a massive terror attack on Chicago⊃s Sears Tower, hardly a word of the story can be found anywhere in the ⊃mainstream⊃ media. Nor was the event treated as earth-shattering news when it first broke. Friday, June 23, 2006 04:13:24 PM
It is long past time to speak the undiluted truth in response to Congressman John Murtha (D.-Pa.), Senator John Kerry (D.-Ma) and any of their cohorts on Capitol Hill who continually strive to demoralize Americans in the War on Terror by demanding unconditional retreat. They are not “patriotic” nor are they voices of the “loyal opposition,” for they can be neither patriotic nor loyal when “carrying the water” for the mortal enemies of America. Saturday, June 17, 2006 09:19:17 AM
The June 12, 2006 cover page of USA Today contained an article entitled “Dems Slipping in State Races.” Polling data for President Bush and the War on Terror have improved greatly in the immediate aftermath of the death of al Zarqawi. Despite occasional temporary setbacks, a groundswell of conservatism continues to shift the political debate decisively to the right. Thursday, June 01, 2006 02:30:46 AM
When Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore defied an order from Federal Judge Myron Thompson in 2003, and refused to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court building, he was summarily expelled from office under the pretense that America is a nation of laws, not of men.

As the United States Senate continues relentlessly towards the goal of amnesty for illegal aliens, its political movers and shakers are illuminating the despicable realities behind the phony “compassion” of liberalism. In a stunning act of treachery against the American people, the Senate has set the stage to plunder America’s social security system and give the spoils to illegal immigrants. Friday, May 19, 2006 08:01:26 AM
Among the tiny handful of Americans who still clung to the illusion that President Bush might want to truly address and correct the illegal immigration crisis, it only took the first moments of his May 15 speech to dispel all hope. Though conceding, seemingly for the first time, that the invasion from Mexico is indeed a problem, the President immediately fell back into the standard diatribe that has underscored Washington’s indifference to the American people on this matter. Thursday, May 11, 2006 06:38:58 AM
Were any anti-government “militia” or other separatist organization to consistently discuss Timothy McVeigh as merely a “rental truck operator,” their underlying sympathies would become glaringly obvious. While such a description is not absolutely inaccurate, it clearly misrepresents the overall significance of McVeigh and his actions. Thursday, May 04, 2006 06:56:43 AM
Washington has been shaken by the recent Rasmussen poll indicating that a significant portion of Americans would support a third-party candidate for President in 2008. Perhaps most alarming to Washington’s current “ruling class” is the fact that such rampant discontent with the likely choices of either major party for President Bush’s successor is also reflected in the polling data indicating public disgust with the entrenched members of Congress as well. Thursday, April 27, 2006 09:25:35 AM
In contrast to recent revelations of national security leaks occurring within the CIA, consider the absurdly trivial and wholly unsubstantiated charges that ultimately drove House Majority Leader Tom Delay from office. Thursday, April 20, 2006 11:09:24 AM
The European Union is in tatters, which admittedly is not a bad thing. Yet the particular reasons for its continuing collapse portend a dark future for the continent that once defined Western Civilization. In short, the EU represented a futile attempt to forge a multi-national consensus on almost purely economic terms, purposely devoid of past loyalties to individual nationalism or any vestige of spiritual truth. Thursday, April 13, 2006 01:45:45 PM
With the Democrat Presidential primaries apparently already completed, and Hillary Clinton declared the uncontested winner, it might behoove Republicans to start pondering a workable strategy for the 2008 election cycle. Thus far, it has been the “business as usual” wing of the party, with such notable past candidates as Bob Dole, who are working hardest to define the impending race. Thursday, April 06, 2006 09:38:00 AM
The March 2006 cover story of Fortune magazine, entitled "Secrets of Greatness," presents profiles of several individuals whom the editors deemed worthy of that description. First on the list is Senator John McCain of Arizona, pictured with hand over heart, looking statesmanlike and warm. In truth, he is neither. So why is he such a media darling? Thursday, March 30, 2006 09:36:33 AM
From a strictly military perspective, Iraq represents a stunning victory for America. But as capably as American forces prevailed over Saddam Hussein on the field of battle, the post war effort has been frustrating, to say the least. Efforts to elevate Iraq’s new government to a modern version of the democratic process, despite seeming so close to the final goal, are regularly discouraged and stalled. Thursday, March 23, 2006 01:03:46 PM
In stark but reliable simplicity, Republican successes of the past several decades can be directly correlated to the contrasts between their philosophy and agenda as compared to that of the Democrats. Thursday, March 16, 2006 12:14:31 PM
Shortly after this year’s elections, the 2008 presidential race will begin in earnest. This means that among Democrat politicians, the venom and bile being spewed against President Bush will only increase. But at some crucial point, it must be redirected from the outgoing president to any Republican “rising star.” Thursday, March 02, 2006 12:48:09 PM
When Bill Clinton’s Commerce Department authorized the sale of sensitive rocket and missile technology to Communist China, he defended the action by fraudulently claiming the information to only be applicable to non-military purposes, such as satellites and space exploration, relying on a general lack of technological understanding on the part of the public. Thursday, February 16, 2006 12:12:49 PM
In the midst of the heated controversy over Danish cartoons disparaging Islam, a couple of drawings of a much more inflammatory nature suddenly were disseminated throughout the Muslim world, adding significant fuel to the fires of their outrage. These pictures depicted Mohamed in a manner guaranteed to incite far greater wrath and indignation from those Muslims already angered by the original cartoons. Wednesday, February 08, 2006 09:28:05 PM
Throughout Europe and the Middle East, people are dying. Some of them are non-violent and innocent of any wrongdoing. Yet they die, and buildings burn, the result of anger against western civilization erupting from outraged Muslims. But with so much of the West having diligently endeavored over the years to reach out to this “religion of peace,” how could such things be happening, and in the name of Islam? Wednesday, February 01, 2006 08:32:41 PM
The conventional wisdom is that Bill Clinton won his two terms as President by portraying himself as “moderate.” Yet such an appraisal of Clinton’s successes, if presented as the entirety of the situation, is fundamentally flawed. Wednesday, January 25, 2006 10:14:39 PM
Next Tuesday, President Bush is scheduled to deliver his annual State of the Union message to the nation. Not surprisingly, Democrats are already reveling in their plans for a rebuttal, in which they will no doubt repeat the pattern of past years and simply contradict everything the President says. Thursday, January 19, 2006 06:40:30 PM
Were Americans to be honestly polled about which national issues they consider to be of primary importance to the future of the country, terrorism, illegal immigration, and private property rights would likely rank at the top. And on at least two of these issues, the official stances of Republicans and Democrats cannot be more starkly contrasted. As usual, the Democrats are on the wrong side. Thursday, January 12, 2006 12:09:24 AM
So, the long-awaited Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Sam Alito’s Supreme Court nomination have finally begun. To nobody’s great surprise, Democrat members of the committee utilized their entire speaking time on the first day of the hearings to pontificate on all matters constitutional. Wednesday, January 04, 2006 11:51:23 PM
A mindset of “acceptable risk” is spreading throughout the federal government with regards to the War on Terror. The most recent example of this dangerous behavior involves the Patriot Act, which appears to be in its death throes, if not already defunct. Wednesday, December 21, 2005 09:23:41 PM
In her December 13, 2005 article, nationally syndicated columnist Phyllis Schlafly issues a blanket indictment of “guest worker” and “amnesty” programs being proposed in Washington, bluntly characterizing them as “immoral.” In closing, she quotes Theodore Roosevelt, who when president likened such policy to slavery. |
