Man made global warming is, of course, a hoax. It is an attempt to scare people with Chicken-Little tactics into allowing bureaucrats to control all industrial and personal energy usage and to facilitate global income redistribution. It’s a socialist’s dream, but it’s not working. Even co-opting the phrase “Climate Change” won’t work in the long […]
“The actual recruiters–we’re not prepared to apologize to them. We don’t want them here.†That anti-Marines quote is courtesy of leftist, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates.

Almost all biofuels used today cause more greenhouse gas […]
The always interesting Victor Davis Hanson notes a “terrible irony” in the military impotence of the European Union: There has been a recent series of disturbing op-eds and press conferences concerning European participation (or lack thereof) in the NATO mission in Afghanistan — the common theme being either an unwillingness or inability of our continental […]

Mumtaz Ali, president of the Canadian […]
Hi-jacking the Republican Party.
We told you it was going to be a Nanny State kind of day around here. There’s more. Writing in the Christian Science Monitor, Jonah Goldberg has a great piece on the history of the “Progressive movement” entitled You want a more ‘progressive’ America? Careful what you wish for. You really need to read this. […]
Despite the media focus on Super Tuesday, it looks like a Nanny State/Libtopia day around here. We previously wrote on how government indoctrination has produced generations of Nanny Statists. Stanley Kurtz elaborates on this huge problem: Here’s how Mark’s correspondent describes one of the factors threatening to “sink conservativism for at least a couple of […]
