American Thinker: Socialism and Reality

Monday, November 1st, 2010

Socialism and Reality By Steve McCann

The images on the television screen emanating from Europe are a sobering reminder that socialism has failed wherever it has been tried and will always do so despite the best efforts of the die-hard true believers. The riots in the streets of France and Greece, the announced layoffs of nearly 500,000 government employees in the United Kingdom, and the potential national bankruptcy of Ireland, Spain, Italy, and Portugal are the current face of this failure.

The Rest of the Story… American Thinker: Socialism and Reality.

Double-Duped Carter: From Soviet Communism to Radical Islam
A look at the record and the diary.
BY Paul Kengor

Throughout American history, citizens have been duped. It’s a word as old as the republic itself. George Washington, in his “Farewell Address,” warned about “dupes”—that is, those who, unwittingly, allow themselves to be deceived or misled by active adversaries of the United States.

That process accelerated after the Bolshevik Revolution and into the Cold War, when duping was done on a remarkable scale by crass propagandists in the Communist movement, with America’s liberals/progressives the prime target. Yet, the story does not stop there: Many of the same Americans manipulated during the Cold War have resurfaced in the battle against radical Islam, although the periods, and processes, are quite different.

Indeed, there are many ways to be duped. Sometimes, it isn’t a matter of manipulation as much as severe gullibility. As to that, few figures seem as illustrative as Jimmy Carter.

Townhall – Victor Davis Hanson – Everyone a Bigot?

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Victor Davis Hanson
Everyone a Bigot?

Anti-Hispanic, anti-gay, anti-Muslim, anti-black — it is hard to keep track of all the recent charges of alleged bigotry.State representatives in Arizona overwhelmingly passed an immigration law to popular acclaim — which the Obama administration for now has successfully blocked in federal court. Arizonans simply wanted the federal government to enforce its own laws. And yet they were quickly dubbed bigots and racists — more worried about profiling Hispanics than curtailing illegal immigration.

Mere Moral Opprobrium? Far More than Marriage Is on Trial

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Both sides in the federal trial over same-sex marriage have now rested, and the nation awaits the decision of U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker. Nevertheless, the judge’s decision will not put the matter to rest, no matter his ruling. Both sides have pledged, if they lose, to appeal his ruling all the way to the Supreme Court. To that Michael Lindenberger of Time Magazine adds: “What’s equally clear now, after nearly three weeks of evidence, is that no matter what happens, the debate over gay marriage will never again be the same.”

Does God Hate Haiti?

Friday, January 15th, 2010

No, He does not.  Dr. Albert Mohler provides an excellent commentary on the matter, with links at the end on where you can send help. -jw

The images steaming in from Haiti look like scenes from Dante’s Inferno.  The scale of the calamity is unprecedented.  In may ways, Haiti has almost ceased to exist.  The earthquake that will forever change that nation came as subterranean plates shifted about six miles under the surface of the earth, along a fault line that had threatened trouble for centuries.  But no one saw a quake of this magnitude coming.
