Ron Paul Tells the Truth
From my post-debate commentary: Once again, Ron Paul distinguished himself in a Republican presidential debate by telling Americans the truth, answering the questions he was asked, and refusing to treat his countrymen like ten-year-olds who should be spoken to in bumper-sticker slogans…. Our delicate ears… Read More
Left-Liberal Catholics: Yay for the Atomic Bombings!
In time for the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the leftist National Catholic Reporter treats us to an entirely conventional rendition and defense of that awful episode in U.S. history, a rendition I might have expected to read in the neoconservative Weekly Standard. (Thanks to Laurence… Read More

Bashing Some Zombies
