Too Pooped To March?
By Alan Caruba ~ There have been twenty-seven marches in Washington, D.C. since President Obama took office in 2009. The most recent was on February 13 called “Forward on Climate” in which an estimated 40,000 people demanded action on “climate change” and was largely devoted to protesting the expansion of the Keystone pipeline. The weather […]
‘Idol’ Worship: Mass. Town Throws Costly Parade For Hometown Pop Singer, Then Cancels Memorial Day Parade!
By Tim Graham ~ On May 4, the town of Beverly, Massachusetts threw a huge parade and concert for 19-year-old “American Idol” contestant Angie Miller, (pictured) who made the top three in the competition.“It’s a great chance to show off our fair city,” Mayor Bill Scanlon said. The city spent $31,200 on security, cleanup and […]
Burying Ted
By Tom McLaughlin ~ We buried my 90-year-old father-in-law, Ted Kosiavelon, last week at Arlington National Cemetery. That’s what he wanted. He earned the privilege by serving in both the Solomon Islands and in the Philippines during World War II. Like millions of other young men of his generation, he fought for his country against […]
Semper Fortis Vigilate Paratus Fidelis — et Gratus
Thank God for Patriot Brothers and Sisters By Mark Alexander “In circumstances dark as these, it becomes us, as Men and Christians, to reflect that, whilst every prudent Measure should be taken to ward off the impending Judgments. … All confidence must be withheld from the Means we use; and reposed only on that GOD […]
On Thanksgiving
By Nancy Salvato ~ Looking at the Atlantic Ocean off the Virginia Beach coast, I occasionally see US Navy ships on the horizon, F-18 Hornets flying in formation, the Coast Guard helicopter overhead, and porpoise darting in and out of the waves; it’s just a part of the scenery. Having lived in Glenview, Illinois, in […]
When Universalism Threatens National Loyalty
By Herbert London ~ As I stood at a public meeting hand over my chest pledging my loyalty to this republic, I asked myself how many going through this ritual actually care or appreciate the unique character of the United States. So far down a universalist slope have we gone that few objected when a […]

The Original Tea Party – December 16, 1773
By Alan Caruba The modern-day Tea Party is a loose amalgamation of people who came together in March 2009 to protest against passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act otherwise known as Obamacare. There was a large gathering in Washington, D.C. with estimates of several hundred thousand to a million participants. There had […]
Give Thanks for American Exceptionalism
By Star Parker The Pew Research Center has provided some timely food for thought as we enter our traditional holiday season. According to a recent report comparing attitudes in Europe and America, only 49 percent of Americans now feel that American culture is superior to others. This is down from 60 percent in 2002. For […]
Joey Vento: An Assimilation Warrior
By Michelle Malkin Blunt. Brash. Bold. Politically incorrect. Unapologetically patriotic. Philadelphia cheese-steak king Joey Vento was all that and a side of freedom fries. The 71-year-old owner of Geno’s Steaks died of a heart attack this week, but he reignited a national debate over radical multiculturalism that will burn for years to come. Five years […]

America at Its Pinnacle
By Christopher Adamo Last Wednesday marked the fiftieth anniversary of a monumental crossroads in America’s history; a moment in which the nation, in the face of a seemingly invincible enemy, collected its resolve to remain a world leader that would be subservient to no one. The “mainstream” media, so saturated in its anti-American mindset, felt […]
Tea Party Remains Movement in Search of a Leader
By Star Parker The question on the table today is whether revolutionary Tea Party sentiments that unseated 25 percent of the Democrats in Congress in 2010 have now vanished into a whimper. Supporters of the current administration would have us believe that this is the case. And at first glance, it seems they may have […]
Confederate Memorial Day
By Alan Caruba It seems odd, even to me, that a northerner, born and bred, should join in the celebration of Confederate Memorial Day on May 7th. Odder still because I saw the worst of the South with its Jim Crow laws that so cruelly oppressed the Blacks that lived there, but I spent enough […]
The Father Of A United States Marine On The Death of bin Laden
Most of the people of the world are rejoicing over the news of the death of Usama bin Laden. I am one of them. The man that many consider to be the mastermind of the September 11th attacks is gone. Contrary to the views expressed by some, the death of bin Laden does not signal […]
The Making Of A United States Marine
(I respectfully ask that all of you, Republican, Democrat, Tea Partier, whatever, take a 5 minute break from your partisan politics and read the story of just one individual who is a member of a much larger group that makes all of this bickering possible.) Our daughter graduated from Boot Camp at MCRD Parris […]

Sam’s Great Story
By Roy Exum Once long ago there was a wonderful and very funny guy who worked alongside me named Sam Venable. He was a marvelous storyteller and a great pal but soon he left the Chattanooga newspaper and returned home to Knoxville, where today he is the lead columnist for the News-Sentinel. I haven’t seen […]

Be on the lookout for terrorists such as this man.
TEA Party members like him are dangerous to Obamamerica. They have a warped sense of Justice and demand we all follow the Constitution and the Bill of Rights instead of what our Glorious Leaders want. Do not try to apprehend. Instead call Obama's Terrorist Hotline or the FBI.
