Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.

One of the main reasons the Internet has been so successful in the last decade is the fierce resistance given in response to meddling politicians who want to protect us from ourselves. Most of the laws that have been passed to regulate the web have either been ruled unconstitutional, or were completely useless and [...]

Well, I never expected this from the conservatives, but I’m glad that one of them finally had enough sense to say it:
The nation’s top radio host Rush Limbaugh warned of growing government intervention in broadcasting content.
Limbaugh made the comments after his parent company clear channel dropped Viacom’s Howard Stern from its stations.

The Comanche helicopter program was scrapped today after $6.8 billion, 20 years of development, and not a single operational model. The helicopter was intended to oppose non-existent Soviet super-weapons, and after 1990, a non-existent Soviet empire. It took 13 years for the program to catch up with political reality. The helicopter has [...]

Drudge has a review on the new book “Rumsfeld’s War.” Drudge picks out the primary reason why pacifists of all flavors despise him: Rumsfeld changed the rules of fighting against terrorists, focusing on one primary goal- killing them. Amen!
Update: The Washington Times has another good story on the book.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has decided to take a stand against the orgy of gay marriages coming out of San Francisco City Hall. Whatever one thinks of the legitimacy of gay marriage, I think this is a brilliant move for City Hall and a win-win situation for everyone. The San Fran authorities obviously have a [...]

I ranted last month about the socialist rag produced by the business student council at my school. I had hoped that this was an anomaly, until I opened up the latest issue. Here is a quote from Cant Buy Me Love, an editorial from a freshman business major:
Gullible consumers rush to the stores, [...]

The video you are about to watch is a rap video designed to inspire people to take up jihad against the West. Posted on a radical Islamic website based out of the United Kingdom, the video is undeniably entertaining, as professionally produced as any video you might see on MTV. Consider the irony: [...]

Harvard University voted yesterday to approve a student-run magazine that will feature nude pictures of Harvard undergraduates and articles about sexual issues.
At this point, I could write a brilliant philosophical rant on how the vote was a liberal echo of the FCCs anti-indecency jihad, ultimately stemming from a corruption of the concept of censorship by [...]

In 1970, John Kerry shed his pacifist front, and revealed his altruist ideology:Kerry said that the United Nations should have control over most of our foreign military operations. “I’m an internationalist. I’d like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations.”
On other issues, Kerry wants “to almost [...]

Leading challengers to Putins re-election are quietly disappearing, with murder investigations being shut down by the Kremlin, and the state media keeping mum. Putin has already silenced and nationalized the media, secretely shot opposition politicians in cold blood, and all but assumed his former KGB role. Anyone doubting that Putin is capable of [...]
