In an earlier article I noted that the new film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter looks like it might be subtle attack on conservatives by comparing them to vampires who advocate a ‘states’ rights’ position. Everywhere we go these days conservatives are under attack in less than subtle ways. Have you

Ray Bradbury died on Tuesday. He was 91 years old. He is best known for his works of science fiction, fantasy, and social commentary. Here are some of his most notable works: The Martian Chronicles (1950). The Illustrated Man (1951) Dandelion Wine (1957) Something Wicked This Way Comes (1962). What

DC’s new ‘gay’ super hero is . . . Green Lantern! This new incarnation of Green Lantern does not have his own comic, and he lives on a parallel earth . . . Earth 2. It’s as if DC has put homosexuality back in the closet. If DC was really

Ridley Scott’s film Prometheus hits theaters Friday, June 8. It has the feel of a prequel to his Alien trilogy movies. The premise of the film is simple: “[A]n Earth-based crew is sent on a long journey to a near-by star system to explore a planet believed to host an

James Cash Penney (1875–1971) began his career in retail management when he opened The Golden Rule store in 1902. Penney built his company based on the premise that business is “as much religious as it is secular.” If we love God first, everything else will fall into place. The issue

Politics is getting more bizarre. Michael Bloomberg, the dictator of New York City, is proposing a ban on certain sugary drinks in restaurants, movie theaters, food carts, and concession stands of a particular size. He and his fellow food Nazis want to combat obesity. My wife and I went to

Attorney General Eric Holder spoke to a gathering of black church leaders on Wednesday in Washington, D.C., where he told them that voting is a “sacred” right. Where’s the ACLU? Americans United for Separation of Church and State? Sounds like “theocracy” and “dominionism” to me. Where’s Michelle Goldberg? Wasn’t the

Dan Rather told Jon Stewart that most journalists aren’t liberal. This is the same Dan Rather who tried to sink George W. Bush’s 2004 re-election by presenting forged documents as the real deal when they were an obvious fake. Liberal media bias is so prevalent that very little true news

When my youngest son asked me if I had seen the trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, I thought it was a joke. He assured me that it was real. Sure enough, when my wife and I went to see The Avengers today (in 3D no less), and there was

Many of you are probably too young to remember the flap over Vice President Dan Quayle’s comments in 1992 about unwed mothers. Here’s some of what the former vice president said: “Bearing babies irresponsibly is simply wrong. Failing to support children one has fathered is wrong. We must be unequivocal

The most difficult enemy to fight is the one who’s in your midst. In the film Stalag 17, a group of American airmen held in a German World War II prisoner of war camp begin to suspect that one in their group is a traitor. The Germans are being fed

I’m all for learning a new language, even Arabic. I have a good friend who is studying Arabic so he can debate with Muslims in their own language. When I was in high school in the 1960s, some students took Russian. It wasn’t mandated. Many Europeans know several languages. English

It doesn’t take long to realize that Democrats are hypocrites. They’re like the affable but corrupt Captain Louis Renault (Claude Rains) in the film Casablanca. Rick’s Café Américain is an oasis in a political desert during World War II. Humphrey Bogart is its proprietor. Everybody goes to Rick’s as they

It was big news when President Clinton said he “never inhaled.” People laughed at the absurdity of the statement. Everybody knew he inhaled. His denial was done with a wink and a nod. I suspect that a lot of you who are reading this article also inhaled. A younger Barack

Stories that are harmful to the president’s re-election efforts are spiked, news that puts the president in a good light are turned into front-page headlines, and when they can’t find either, the media manufactures news out of thin air. This is good news! It shows that liberalism can’t stand on

There’s a great new book out that you can give to your Liberal friends. It’s got a catchy title: The Benefits of Socialism: A Portrait of Progress. It’s described as “the most complete list of the benefits of Leftist policy ever assembled, an exhaustive index of leftist contributions to civilization

Madeleine McAulay is one of the Left’s newest targets. Madeleine is 16 years old and happens to be a conservative. She lives in North Carolina. When she posted a video on the same-sex marriage vote, the haters came out of the closet. The comments are so vile that I can’t

“It’s a bird . . . It’s a plane . . . It’s the new gay Superman?” According to a DC spokesman, “they are about to reintroduce a previously existing DC character who was previously straight and now will be ‘one of our most prominent gay characters.’” Fox News asks,
