Cover Stories, News Obama includes Canada in his `King of World’ territory By Judi McLeod
Canadians, watching the Fundamental Transformation of the United States of America, from the safety of over-the-border observation, consider themselves too distant from the expanding Marxist policies of the President Barack Obama regime.
Even the many who worry about American friends losing jobs and homes would admit “It’s not like being there”.
I Will Love You Threescore More By William Kevin Stoos
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” Eph 5:25
Years ago, I wrote a column in William Loeb’s Manchester Union Leader. Although I would get some nice reader feedback now and then, I never really knew whether my column made any difference or whether anyone cared. But, as it often happens in life, now and then someone comes along who touches you in a very special way and makes it all worthwhile. John McVitty was a spirit-filled, elderly gentleman who was madly in love with Bessie—his wife of sixty years. He, more than any man I ever met, loved and adored his wife—whom he called affectionately, “Mommy.”
The Liberal Uses of Race By Daniel Greenfield
Racism is about many things, but it isn’t about race. To understand the uses of race in American liberalism requires understanding its place in the political culture. When American liberals speak of race, they aren’t speaking in the genetic sense, what they are doing is clumsily piggybacking class onto race and adding one dubious construct to another.
The placement of racial politics at the center of liberal advocacy coincided with a growing national prosperity that seemed to be on the way to making class warfare of the old kind irrelevant. Previous liberal civil rights activity had been a subset of class, but class now became a subset of race. And both were a means of liberal self-definition as the people concerned with the plight of the downtrodden.
Just a Taste of a Second Obama Term By Doug Patton First, he came for the General Motors bondholders, but the religious leaders were not GM bondholders, so they did not speak up. Then he came for the oil companies, but they were not oil company executives, and again they did not speak up. Next, he came for control of the nation’s health care system, and again they saw no threat — in fact, many of them supported his plan.
Russian nuclear submarine as omen—Will U. S. continue to disarm By Toby Westerman The world is justifiably concerned about a nuclear capable Iran, but the Islamic Republic’s prime ally, the Russian Federation, is putting into active service a weapon with more destructive capability than Tehran could ever dream of possessing. While Iran’s main target is America’s ally, Israel, Moscow still aims its atomic weaponry primarily at the United States.
As budget cuts place ever greater limitations on American deterrence, Moscow - and its allies—are forging ahead in their construction of an ever greater military capability.
The Global Warming Hoax is Now Killing People By Alan Caruba By Friday, February 10th, an estimated 500 Europeans had died from the freezing weather gripping the continent. This is the price they and British citizens are paying for embracing the global warming hoax, spending billions for wind power when they should have been building coal-fired and other sources of energy to heat their homes and businesses.
As the British daily, The Telegraph, reported on Friday, “Serbia has started implementing power cuts in a desperate bid to stave off the collapse of its national grid as the country suffers the effects of days of freezing temperatures.”
Obama: Violating Much More than Conscience By Rev. Michael Bresciani In his latest show Gov. Mike Huckabee was seen interviewing a Catholic priest, as they spoke, the Governor said that since the Catholics have come under attack “we are all Catholics.” The audience accepted what he said and while they knew the Governor was not referring to some giant ecumenical switch to Catholicism he was stating the obvious. When the government suspends or denies first amendment principles to the church, be it Protestant or Catholic, we all tend to close ranks.
Down a Dark Alley By Michael Oberndorf, RPA There is a serious flaw in the Constitution. It contains no recourse for We, the Governed, in case the entire government becomes unresponsive to our wishes, and consistently acts without our consent. This is the situation we are faced with, today.

Is Speaker Boehner making a deal with the Obama Administration to stop Fast & Furious? By Sher Zieve There is a story quickly spreading on the Internet advising that Speaker of the House John Boehner is making or has already made a deal with the Obama Administration to end Chairman Darrell Issa’s investigation of the DOJ’s Fast & Furious debacle.
This investigation began when it was learned that the US Attorney General Eric Holder had ostensibly supported and been behind the supplying of US guns—including large numbers of assault weapons—to the Mexican drug cartel; the Sinaloa cartel in particular.
American Politics, Freedom Obama’s Continuing Assault on the Constitution By Heritage Foundation With tens of millions of Americans watching, Barack Obama stood at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol on January 20, 2009, with his left hand on the Bible and his right hand held aloft, swearing to God and country that he would preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Yet despite that pledge, President Obama has time and time again taken actions contrary to the principles of the founding document he swore to uphold, setting forth on a heretofore uncharted path of unconstitutionality that will fundamentally change the character of this Republic for the worse, not for the better.
Samuel L. Jackson: look beyond race, assess the man! By Lloyd Marcus Are you as sick of hearing me talking about race as I am talking about it? For crying out loud, all I ask is that liberals please, please, please look beyond their emotions and Obama’s skin color and honestly assess the man. It is stunning that liberals still think I should be totally committed to supporting this man solely because he is America’s first black president and we share the same skin-color.
Shariah’s Police? By Frank Gaffney Jr. Over the weekend, a drama with potentially horrific consequences for freedom-loving Americans played out half-a-world away.
Looking back at Civics By Sarge Many years ago, back when the earth’s crust had barely cooled and politics was known as the infernal pit it is, there was a course taught in schools. It was called CIVICS. It was defined as the social science of municipal affairs. It was a class where you learned what your government did and how its job was done.
Dawn of the Drones: The Realization of the Total Surveillance State By John W. Whitehead “To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it’s justice; that is it’s morality.” – Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, 19th century French philosopher
White House Spin Machine Hits Brick Wall By Heritage Foundation Yesterday, the newest White House chief of staff, Jack Lew, took to the Sunday talk shows to get a head start on promoting President Barack Obama’s FY2013 budget, which is set to be released today. But just as he was getting warmed up, Lew ran smack into a brick wall when he was forced to defend the Democrat-controlled Senate’s failure to pass a budget in the last 1,019 days.
A Tale of Two Wars By Daniel Greenfield There are two possible conflicts on the table in Washington. One is with Iran and the other with Syria. The Iran conflict is the one that Washington doesn’t want. Its most likely trigger at this stage is an Israeli assault on Iran’s nuclear program. Like most of the wars centering around Israel, this one is existential and of no interest to the philosopher kings in D.C. who wage wars with the grand purpose of making the world a better place.
Fighting Wars: Gen. David Patraeus By Alan Caruba No one can doubt General David Patraeus’s devotion to America and to the U.S. Army in which he served much of his life.

The GOP VP Choice of ‘We, the People!’ By A.J. Cameron In playing along with Alan Caruba’s column of February 9th, entitled, ‘Who will be Mitt’s VP Choice?’ I’d like to render this response.
Sandwiches or Freedom? By Arnold Ahlert Those closely attuned the dynamics of the 2012 election know that Barack Obama retains a high probability of being re-elected. Right now, the focus of many is on his obscene efforts to run roughshod over the First Amendment and force Catholics to violate their consciences. And while this issue may cost him votes, two others reflect the insidious effectiveness of promoting moral hazard as a means of maintaining, or ramping up, the progressive constituency. One issue most people have probably heard about. the other? Not so much, but it might be one of best attempts to literally buy votes that has come down the pike in a long time.

Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), convened a field hearing in Corpus Christi, TX, to assess the energy boom that is happening in South Texas and along the Gulf Coast.

Syria crackdown continues as UN refuses to call for an emergency special session By Online This article by Anne Bayefsky appears today on FoxNews.com.
The UN General Assembly is huffing and puffing about Syria today, while crimes against humanity perpetrated against Syria’s civilian population continue unabated. The spectacle exposes the wholly undeserved status of the United Nations as an agent for the common good and the disastrous nature of the three-year love-affair that the Obama administration has carried on with the organization.
