That the election of November 6, 2012, has the potential to be a definitive moment in American history is now almost a truism. This conception may sound overblown to the ignorant and disengaged, but in fact it is a great understatement. As America is the only nation left in which freedom is still on the… Continuă lectura The U.S. Election is a Referendum on Civilization

Mitt’s Royal Slam
What’s the explanation for Mitt Romney’s unparalleled breakout? A few weeks ago, the Romney campaign was regarded as dead in the water. The polls (with the exception of Rasmussen) had the campaign uniformly down, giving Obama up to half a dozen points. Voter interest was phlegmatic at best. A combined Chicago-media offensive appeared to have… Continuă lectura Mitt’s Royal Slam
Tackling the Totalitarianism of Islam
As the Arab Spring model implodes in the Middle East, it is even more urgent that the West understand that behind this ongoing violence is the inexorable Muslim adherence to sharia law. Sharia is the unremitting lodestar for their actions. In his latest magisterial work, entitled Sharia versus Freedom: The Legacy of Islamic Totalitarianism, Dr.… Continuă lectura Tackling the Totalitarianism of Islam
Gay Marriage Threatens Our Freedom
Referenda on changing the legal definition of marriage to include same-sex relationships have become a recurrent feature of our electoral landscape in recent years. Voters have rejected the proposed changes every time, but the margins are narrowing; even conservative voters, particularly those of a libertarian bent, are beginning to conclude that „gay marriage” is not… Continuă lectura Gay Marriage Threatens Our Freedom
Voters Decide on President by Body Language: Romney Won the Presidency Last Night

Despite all the policy debates, all the fact checking, all the pundits, we don’t weigh and balance and research, not most of us. We don’t even use our forebrains.

Romney Won by Focusing on the Big Picture
President Obama was well-coached in the final Presidential debate; he came across as an articulate, aggressive debater, but he was trying too hard to dominate and came across as condescending and petty as he repeatedly attacked Romney with a „gotcha” smirk and interrupted often in ways that were all too reminiscent of Joe Biden in… Continuă lectura Romney Won by Focusing on the Big Picture
A New Iron Curtain
The new Iron Curtain may be descending farther to the east than its predecessor, but it is just as surely descending. And Barack Obama is no Winston Churchill. This time, instead of catcalls, the leader of the free world is applauding as Russia eradicates American values from his shores. Ariel Cohen of the Heritage Foundation… Continuă lectura A New Iron Curtain
Stalking the Undecided
Until recently I could not understand how anyone could still be undecided about who to vote for on November 6. I check the internet news sites several times a day; I keep up with blogs I trust; and I wear out the numbers on the remote of my favorite news channel. Well, the answer is… Continuă lectura Stalking the Undecided
