A populist, black Goldwater lights a grass-roots prairie fire

Jeffrey T. Kuhner Herman Cain continues to soar in the polls. In some, he is leading the presumptive front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney. What accounts for Mr. Cain’s meteoric rise? He is the anti-Romney. The media class despises Mr. Cain. The establishment GOP and some neoconservatives dismiss him as a lightweight. Both […]

Who is more idiotic? The slaves of China or free (but clueless voters) in the West?

Who is more idiotic? The slaves of China or free (but clueless voters) in the West?

Lev Navrozov In 1949, Mao named his country the “People’s Republic of China.” Historically, China had practically no foreign visitors, just as practically no Chinese had visited the outside world.

Managing America’s decline from 1600 Pennsyslvania Ave.

Sanders While the Obama Administration has been busy lining the pockets of its campaign contributors with solar power handouts, an energy revolution is taking place even the Washington Luddites and GOSplanners can’t buck.

In the end, Hitler destroyed the very brain that destroyed a culture of genius

Unabashed competition paves the moral path forward, not coercive utopian cronyism

Unabashed competition paves the moral path forward, not coercive utopian cronyism

By Sol Sanders The cacophony from the left [and its politically correct mainstream media mirror] calling for amity, negotiation, compromise and immediate action to solve the current crisis is not only hypocritical and insincere but ahistorical.
