While Rand Paul, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck have rightfully distanced themselves from Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s racially bigoted comments (see Kira Davis’ sassy video for the difference with “racism”), there are still some standing up for the principle on which they sided with Bundy over the government’s bullies to begin with. This letter via the great Kevin Jackson comes from a black Marine going by the name of Charlie Delta : The media distorts information to the point of social division. This is a photo of myself and the resilient, often charismatic, and maybe not so tactful Cliven Bundy. He’s […]

ANOTHER university stops students from handing out Constitution
April 25, 2014 by
Two students are suing the University of Hawaii for violating their First Amendment rights after administrator prevented them from distributing copies of the U.S. Constitution — demonstrating a frightening lack of knowledge about the very legal document they were attempting to censor. Students Merritt Burch and Anthony Vizzone, members of the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at UH-Hilo, were prevented from handing out copies of the Constitution at a recruitment event in January. A week later, they were again informed by a censorship-minded administrator that their First Amendment-protected activities were in violation of school policy. The students were told […]
Obamacare: Sicker Than We Thought
April 25, 2014 by
For far too long, opponents of the Affordable Care Act focused on a malfunctioning website, which is akin to complaining that a guillotine’s blade isn’t sharp enough. The process doesn’t really matter, if folks end up with their heads on platters. Even as Barack Obama does a NASCAR-like victory lap, claiming 8 million enrollees (Full disclosure: the author is one of the folks who have health insurance through the exchange. Or maybe he’s six people, having had to fill out an application several times to get through the enrollment process.), there are ominous portents for his multi-trillion-dollar "signature" program. Mr. […]
The NRA Has a Direct Message for Michael Bloomberg: Freedom Isn’t For Sale in Any Town
April 25, 2014 by
Last week Michael Bloomberg launched his latest $50 million gun control effort under the new name Everytown. Bloomberg and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense (also a Bloomberg project) Founder Shannon Watts said, "The NRA should be afraid of us," while discussing their new initiative. Their goal is to take on the NRA with a specific focus on women and mothers. Today at the NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis, a direct response from the gun rights organization was issued to Bloomberg and his money: Freedom is not for sale. Not in America, not in ANY town. "Let’s see who […]
Parent to Obama: Let me tell you about the Common Core test Malia and Sasha don’t have to take but Eva does
April 25, 2014 by
I get a lot of e-mail from parents and teachers who wonder if President Obama, whose children go to the private Sidwell Friends School, knows what is actually going on with all of the standardized testing in public schools. Here’s an open letter to Obama explaining what he is missing, written by Rebecca Steinitz, a literacy consultant in urban high schools, a writer and an editor. She was previously director of the High School Program at Lesley University’s School of Education and an English professor at Ohio Wesleyan University, where she ran the Freshman Writing Program. Steinitz is also […]
Fake Senate Candidate Adopts New Brand: “Dr. Annette Bosworth, Liar”
April 25, 2014 by
Posing with a Che Guevara tea shirt. Finally! Fake U.S. Senate candidate Annette Bosworth turns to truth in advertising: Only if you scroll down do you see the enlarged image that makes clear Bosworth is calling President Barack Obama a liar… although that image is juxtaposed with the umpteenth repeat of her new text-phishing cry, […]

Common Core and Communism
April 24, 2014 by
“A lie told often enough becomes the truth,” said Vladimir Lenin who led the revolution that imposed Communism on Russia. When he wrote, ‘Mein Kampf’, Adolf Hitler said “whoever has the youth has the future.” In his vision for the Nazi Party, education would be the key that ensured that he had ‘the youth’ of […]
Property rights besieged
April 24, 2014 by
Private property is a fundamental human right. It is so essential, that America’s founding fathers wrote it into the Constitution, right alongside life and liberty. “Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” The right to property is not only intrinsic and just, it is efficient. There is no engine on […]
Blame Obama and environmentalists for burning babies for electricity
April 24, 2014 by
As the champion of abortion, including partial birth abortion, how long was it before Obama would begin paving the way for incinerating aborted babies to generate electricity in industrialized nations? ( See Covanta’s Jill Stueck, Vice President, Marketing and Communications Statement at bottom ) Even though there is now a stay of execution from officials of an energy plant in Oregon reportedly burning aborted babies from Canada to generate electricity, blame government-funded environmentalists of the day and their their main ‘Panderer in chief’ President Barack Obama for a coming trend that allows burning babies for electricity. Following a LifeNews […]

Why Thousands of Americans Gave Up Their Citizenship Status Last Year
April 24, 2014 by
Americans have always enjoyed the privilege of living abroad without losing citizenship. Think Hemingway and Fitzgerald decamping to write in Europe after World War I, or Gen. MacArthur spending decades in Asia around World War II. Expatriates remain Americans, and have generally been welcomed back to our shores with open arms. But today there are at least 3,000 fewer Americans than there ought to be. That’s how many people live overseas and voluntarily gave up their citizenship in 2013 alone. And they won’t be coming back—at least not as Americans. Their decision to become foreigners is being driven, in […]
Toxic Obama Economy Forcing 16 Major Retailers To Close Thousands Of Stores
April 24, 2014 by
The economy appears to be in far worse shape than the major media outlets would have us believe. In fact, if you want to see how bad the economy really is, simply visit your local shopping center. There you will find that headlines about a retail tsunami – as CNBC put it — are accurate. Unfortunately, it could be just the tip of the iceberg. Recent news stories show that American retail is in a desperate situation and the entire economy is on very shaky ground. Here are 16 major companies that have closed stores or will close stores […]
Oregon poised to abandon its failed ObamaCare exchange
April 24, 2014 by
Oregon is set to become the first state to drop its ObamaCare exchange and transition into the system managed by the federal government. The decision follows months of severe technical issues that have made Oregon’s marketplace one of the worst in the country. About $130 million has been spent on Cover Oregon, but it is the only ObamaCare enrollment system that won’t let registrants buy coverage and qualify for tax credits in one sitting. It had not enrolled a single person online as of early March, and remains mired in glitches almost seven months after a rocky launch. Alex Pettit, […]
Senator Introduces Bill to Silence Christians and Conservatives
April 23, 2014 by
Two hundred and fifty years ago, American colonists who criticized King George III would find themselves arrested and thrown into prison. Sometimes they lost their businesses, homes and families because of their sedition to the crown. The colonists had no freedom of speech to criticize the king, parliament or even a British citizen. When James Madison and George Mason penned the Bill of Rights, there was a reason why they made the freedom of speech part of the First Amendment. It was the right to speak freely and openly criticize the government that was a right they fought for. […]
American Horror Story: Tales of ObamaCare Victims Untold by the Big Three Networks
April 23, 2014 by
If a government program signed into law by former President George W. Bush was causing cancer patients to go broke, brain tumor victims to pay more for their insurance, and was leaving HIV/AIDS patients in the lurch – you can bet the Big Three news networks would’ve packed their shows with these tragic tales. But these horrific stories and more, all caused by ObamaCare, have yet to be given even one second of airtime on ABC, CBS or NBC’s evening and morning shows in 2014. In fact, there has been only one network report this year that profiled individuals […]
Committee on Benghazi: Obama Switching Sides & Providing Weapons to Al-Qaeda Led to Benghazi Attack
April 23, 2014 by
Here’s more evidence of what I contended years ago. These were my exact words: Obama had switched sides in the war on terror — even before Benghazi. And the heads exploded on the left (here) . And I was right. The Benghazi attack could have been prevented if US hadn’t ‘switched sides in the War on Terror’ and allowed $500 MILLION of weapons to reach al-Qaeda militants, reveals damning report Citizens Committee on Benghazi claims the US government allowed arms to flow to al-Qaeda-linked militants who opposed Muammar Gaddafi Their rise to power, the group says, led to the […]
Legalizing Tyranny?
April 23, 2014 by
For 100 years, the federal government has usurped powers not delegated to it in our Constitution. What should we do about it? Should we reclaim our existing Constitution and put an end to the usurpations? Or should we "modernize" the Constitution by delegating to the federal government the powers it has usurped – so as to legalize what is now unconstitutional? Mark Levin begins " The Liberty Amendments " by saying he doesn’t believe the Constitution requires "modernization through amendments". But he then proposes a series of amendments, six of which modernize our Constitution to delegate to the federal […]
Agenda 21: The BLM Land Grabbing Endgame
April 23, 2014 by
Why is the federal government so obsessed with grabbing more land? After all, the federal government already owns more than 40 percent of the land in 9 different U.S. states. Why are federal bureaucrats so determined to grab even more? Well, the truth is that this all becomes much clearer once you understand that there is a very twisted philosophy behind what they are doing. It is commonly known as “Agenda 21″, although many names and labels are used for this particular philosophy. Basically, those that hold to this form of radical environmentalism believe that humanity is utterly destroying […]
China on Course to Become ‘World’s Most Christian Nation’

The Story: The number of Christians in Communist China is growing so steadily that by 2030 it could have more churchgoers than America, reports The Telegraph. The Background: The People’s Republic of China remains, at least officially, an atheist country. But the number of Protestant Christians in China has grown from one million in 1949 […]

Members of the Bundy family brought “disturbing new evidence” to Greta Van Susteren on Monday, claiming that federal officials killed some of their cows and threw them into a mass grave during the tense standoff between the Bureau of Land Management and armed supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. Bundy’s wife, Carol, claimed they discovered […]
5 Ways Obama Has Destroyed The Rule Of Law In America
April 22, 2014 by
When you allow unlawful acts to go unpunished, you’re moving toward a government of men rather than a government of law; you’re moving toward anarchy. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. — John Wayne All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. — George Orwell Tell me why any American should respect the law? Because it’s moral? Not necessarily. Slavery was once the law of the land. Abortion is the law of the land today. Even in a nation like America, it’s not unusual for laws to be unfair, unjust, and even immoral. Is it […]
Sharia in America: Democrats and Muslim Legislators seek to criminalize free speech
April 22, 2014 by
On Wednesday, Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) introduced “The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014″ (S.2219), which seeks “to examine the prevalence of hate crime and hate speech on the Internet, television, and radio to better address such crimes.” Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) introduced a companion bill in the House – H.R. 3878. Yes, we see, Hakeem. The first amendment protects all speech, not just speech that we like. Or else who would decide what’s good and what’s forbidden? Hakeem? When I was a young girl, the Nazis were given permission to march in a predominately Jewish neighborhood. In those […]
Why are the cops punishing Common Core opponents?
April 22, 2014 by
A school district asked the police to prohibit certain students from setting foot on school property because their parents had privacy concerns about Common Core-aligned standardized testing, and wished to opt their kids out. The incident happened at Marietta City Schools in Marietta, Georgia. The Finney family didn’t want their three children — in third grade, fifth grade and ninth grade — to participate in the state-mandated Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests, partly because of the vast amounts of data the government is collecting about their children, and partly because they think the tests don’t serve a compelling educational interest, according […]
Will Obama Force Congress To Let Him Run For Illegal 3rd Term?
April 22, 2014 by
One college professor’s solution to the nation’s problems is voting Pres. Barack Obama into a third term. Jonathan Zimmerman, a history professor at New York University, wrote an article for The Washington Post , suggesting the U.S. government allow Obama to serve for a third term as president. Zimmerman’s flawed argument addresses Obama’s pathetic 37 percent approval rating, but suggests he would be more effective at governing if he could run for re-election in 2016. Zimmerman argued that facing the prospect of a third term would make Obama “less likely to ignore the will of the American people.” “It’s […]
Congress Initiates President Obama’s Impeachment
April 22, 2014 by
While many have speculated over the potential of impeaching Pres. Barack Obama, several members of Congress have finally filed. A resolution written by Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) claims Obama should be impeached for his defiance against the Constitution. The congressman officially stated the purpose of initiating the impeachment process was to “bring a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief to challenge certain policies and actions taken by the executive branch.” The most recent and notable Constitutional defiance included a range of offenses regarding the Affordable Care Act. The president has changed the language of the law as well […]
Obama Calls for Highest Sustained Taxation in U.S. History
April 22, 2014 by
(CNSNews.com) – In the budget proposal he presented to Congress last month, President Barack Obama called for what would be the highest level of sustained taxation ever imposed on the American people, according to the analysis published last week by the Congressional Budget Office. Under Obama’s proposal, taxes would rise from 17.6 percent of Gross Domestic Product in 2014 to 19.2 percent in 2024. During the ten years from 2015 to 2024, federal taxation would average 18.7 percent GDP. America has never been subjected to a ten-year stretch of taxation at that level. In the twelve fiscal years preceding […]
U.S. Releases Another $1 Billion to Iran
April 22, 2014 by
The United States has released $1 billion in cash assets to Iran in April alone under the interim nuclear deal aimed at ratcheting back Iran’s nuclear program, according to the White House. The Obama administration unfroze Iranian assets totaling $550 million on April 10 and another $450 million on April 15. The United States has now released $2.55 billion to Iran since February, when the scheduled cash infusions first began. The cash releases were contingent upon Iran halting some aspects of its nuclear program and scaling back its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, the key component in a nuclear […]
