The Spanish Government Supports Catalan Separatism

The connivance of the establishment Left (and, though less explicitly, the Right as well) with the long-term strengthening of separatism has been a feature, not a bug, of Spanish democracy.

The Subjugation of Democracy Part I

The term ‘democracy’ no longer refers to a system of government held above ideological bias. Increasingly, it is being misused as a synonym for an election won by ‘the preferred ideology.’ That ideology is socialism.

What If It’s True?

The U.S. government currently appears to be engaged in a slow-paced disclosure program. It is time for the rest of us to entertain the possibility that UFOs are extraterrestrial.

The Jay Report: 7 Years to Tell Us Nothing

It is simply unacceptable to spend seven years examining the most virulent scourge of our society, and conclude that there are no pieces to connect.

Why Did Republicans Not Do Better?
