‘Sarah Palin: Should We Make Rogue Vogue?‘
 Politics piece by Guest:
Paul A. Ibbetson (11/27/09)
Sarah Palin is back in the public spot light with her new bestselling book, Going Rogue. At the moment, on just about every television channel, one can view the very photogenic Palin being quizzed about her new book and her plans for the future. Of course, the big question that comes up at some point in every conversation is - will she run for the top spot in the next presidential election? While trying to pick the person that will be the Republican Presidential Candidate in 2012 is a pre-mature question, who among us, both liberal and conservative, can’t say it is not a tantalizing topic to discuss? For conservatives, it is one of the most important chances to correct this Titanic-style course of destruction that Barack Obama has chartered for the country. For liberals, it’s a chance to hate a new conservative presidential candidate with all the energy they can muster. Good times.

Global Warming piece by Offsite
(11/25/09)

When the establishment hates a right-wing candidate
Progressivism piece by Offsite
(11/25/09)
Approximately once every four years, the media establishment and certain “moderates” in the Republican Party decide to destroy a conservative candidate. They sharpen their blades and their tongues and they go into action, armed with the conviction that the vitriol of their pens will wither away the candidate’s reputation and potential.
Reviving the 10th Amendment
The Republic piece by Offsite
(11/25/09)
Over my years of foreign travel and entertaining people from other countries visiting the United States, I’ve developed a little lecture that explains some of the mysteries about this country that bedevil a lot of foreigners. If you’re a native-born American, don’t be ashamed if this is new to you, too. A major part of the problem is that too many Americans have never heard, never understood, never known and never cared about what comes next.
Another deadly government dictum
Big Brother piece by Offsite
(11/25/09)
How many things in our lives would we like to depend upon the generosity and selflessness of our fellow man, and do you think we would like the outcome? You say, “Williams, are you now putting down generosity and selflessness?“ No, I’m not. Let me ask the question in a more direct way. Say you want a nice three-bedroom house. Which human motivation do you think would get you the house sooner: the generosity of builders, or the builders’ desire to earn some money? What about a nice car? Which motivation of auto companies and their workers do you trust will get you a car sooner: the generosity of owners and workers, or owner desire for profits and worker desire for wages?

Islamism 2.0
Islam piece by Daniel Pipes
(11/25/09)
To borrow a computer term, if Ayatollah Khomeini, Osama bin Laden, and Nidal Hasan represent Islamism 1.0, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (the prime minister of Turkey), Tariq Ramadan (a Swiss intellectual), and Keith Ellison (a U.S. congressman) represent Islamism 2.0. The former kill more people but the latter pose a greater threat to Western civilization.
In Defense of Joe Lieberman
Politics piece by Thomas Lindaman
(11/25/09)
To put it mildly, Joe Lieberman is an enigma, albeit a plain-spoken one. He tends to vote with the Democrats in the Senate, but when he doesn’t, it’s usually for a very good reason. With the health care reform bill, Lieberman has decided to make a public break with his ideological allies and oppose any reform bill that includes a public option.

American Students May Underperform in Math and Science, but MMM, MMM, MMM, Can they Sing!
EdukShun piece by Offsite
(11/24/09)
President Barack Obama came to a startling realization last week while in South Korea: the educational system in South Korea is better at teaching kids math and science than ours is. In fact, when it comes to those subjects, the differences are truly startling. American students rank 21st in science and 25th in math compared with students in other countries, and they rank even lower vis-a-vis many Asian countries such as Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.
‘The End of History or a History of the End?‘
History piece by Warner Todd Huston
(11/24/09)
A few years ago, Francis Fukuyama was widely criticized for his book claiming that mankind had seen “The End of History.“(1) Fukuyama contended that liberal democracy had won the debate over which system was best and, therefore, there was necessary no more “moving forward” for man’s social order. While Fukuyama might have thought the question of the best system was settled—that being the Western democratic system—- what good does a great system do if no one is aware of it? Unfortunately, we are quickly nearing a time in our schools where any knowledge of our political system or western history is going untaught. It’s so bad that most standard history courses are disappearing from our universities to be replaced by specialties about minorities or single subjects like “genocide” or “homosexual studies.“
‘Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’?‘
Climate Change piece by Offsite
(11/24/09)
If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet.

Union trying to bully Legislators into changing law
Unions piece by GoldwaterInstitute:
Matthew Ladner (11/24/09)
The movie Zombieland delivers a humorous take on the zombie movie genre. The protagonist has survived the outbreak of zombie-ism by following a set of self-developed rules. Rule number one: cardio. You must stay in shape so you can out run the zombies when necessary. Rule number two: double tap. When you shoot a zombie, don’t leave them lying around wounded so that you have to try to kill them again later; go ahead and shoot them twice.
The Last Will and Testament of the United States of America
The Republic piece by James T. Moore
(11/24/09)
I, America the Beautiful, being of sound mind and body, and with my faculties reasonably intact, but feeling my pending demise, my history nearing its end and eternal darkness waiting for me, do hereby declare this to be my last Will and Testament.
Freedom Of (Only Politically Correct) Speech
Political Correctness piece by Guest:
Kevin Cardin (11/24/09)
Since the founding of this nation, the First Amendment has protected our right of free speech from government control. We’re afforded the privilege of saying whatever we like, whenever we want, however we please. But with the ever-increasing importance we’ve bestowed upon political correctness, is it possible we’re unknowingly, or worse, willfully forfeiting that right? How many times has someone been forced from public office or a position of prominence for merely exercising his or her inalienable right to speak freely? Countless times individual citizens have felt the furor of public outcry for going against the politically correct grain. The rest of us stand idly by, unable to protect ourselves, from ourselves.
