The XL Keystone Pipeline. As Nagini, the murderous snake in the Harry Potter tales, had [...]
By John Kozy. Republished from Global Research. How quickly best laid plans become passé. New world orders come, it seems, as frequently as eclipses. The old world order (ancien régime), along with 16 million people, died during the Great European War which began on June 28, 1914 when the Austrian heir to the throne, Archduke [...]
By Joel S. Hirschhorn Stupid people have the right to vote. Stupid people propel our consumer economy and waste money on myriad things because they are stupid shoppers. Stupid people have the right to own guns, lots of guns. Stupid people have free speech. So, no surprise, in our representative democracy (aka republic) even the [...]
The Senate’s “Gang of Eight” insists on making immigrant reform contingent upon strictly enforced border control measures. By Renee Lott. Republished from FPIF. On Tuesday, President Obama addressed the issues surrounding immigration reform and what he would like to see accomplished. The address came on the heels of a meeting of the bipartisan Senatorial “Gang [...]
By Joel S. Hirschhorn Puzzling me for a long time is the inconsistency between two claims by gun and Second Amendment supporters. One is that what they worship is critically needed to defend themselves against a government that they would view as oppressive and unacceptable. The other is their belief that the US government has [...]
