Your voice could save your life. Using it effectively is the single most important defensive tactic I learned in my latest self-defense and survival training course. Over the eight-hour course “Introduction to Defensive Shooting,” the third installment in a four-part shooting development series at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, New Hampshire, there’s a lot of […]
America and Egypt: A Path to Democracy
When I wrote “Why the Arabs Really Hate Us” in January, I received some criticism from readers suggesting that my hope for democracy in Egypt was naïve. That may have been true and may still be today. The idea that democracy will unfold like a blossoming flower in Egypt is naïve. That does not mean, […]
Time for Boldness
After House GOP leadership offered up a budget with a paltry $35 billion in cuts, the new Tea Party members rightly balked. This morning the Wall Street Journal reports that House leadership is putting another $26 billion of cuts in its budget for the remainder of the year. That’s a total of $61 billion over […]
Why the Arabs Really Hate Us
This week, hordes of citizens tired of high taxes and government oppression are storming the streets calling for change. No, this isn’t a Tea Party protest. So is the U.S. helping to free a people using the tactics employed in the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, or the Rose Revolution in Georgia? No. In fact, the […]
Republican Study Committee Pounces On Deficit
The Republican Study Committee, led by Congressmen Jim Jordan and Scott Garrett, with an assist by Senator Jim DeMint and bolstered by 70 new members, has hit the House floor running in the new Congress. Without a bit of hesitation the RSC has offered up legislation that would make huge cuts to the federal workforce […]
Lawyers, Guns and Money
Year after year, America’s most prominent gun control lobbying group, the Brady Campaign, tells Americans that as more guns are purchased, made, used, or even imitated (i.e., by toy guns), America will experience higher crime rates. And year after year, the statistics prove the Brady Campaign wrong. (Ironically these statistics are only collected because of Brady […]
A Plan to Beat China
Thomas Friedman is calling for a plan to beat China, and to put the U.S. back on its feet in the world in both economics and education. The two, of course, are related. As always, in his latest piece Thomas Friedman does a very good job of framing the issue in an understandable way for […]
On to Smaller Things
Now that the president has totally altered America’s healthcare system, he is on to other liberal wishlist items that have been on the backburner. First among them is gun control. The president has promised time and again that he isn’t coming after anyone’s guns, but he is attempting to install rabidly anti-gun officials in powerful […]
Nancy Pelosi Has Got to Go
Nancy Pelosi has directly presided over the worst recession since the Great Depression. Unlike Barack Obama, Pelosi doesn’t have the benefit of claiming it isn’t her fault. Pelosi took control of the House in 2006; she is just as responsible as anyone in the Bush administration for the mess America is in today. But not […]
A Pep Rally for Liberalism
Don’t get me wrong: I like watching The Daily Show. Jon Stewart is a funny guy, and his team of writers and fellow cast members is one of the best in comedy. But the mainstream media’s declaration that the interview Stewart recently did with the president asked the “tough” questions was less comedy and more […]
