The Collectivist Mind Game, Part 3: Demonizing Human Nature January 23, 2013
Oleg Atbashian

Gay Republican Attacked, Sent to Hospital October 25, 2012

Inequality: The Cudgel of Progressives September 11, 2012
Jon N. Hall

Daren Jonescu
Leftism is not, and never has been, about "sharing," or "compassion," or any of the other moral euphemisms progressives use to hoodwink the intellectually and morally lazy. It always has been about that gun pointed at the prosperous -- and, ultimately, at everyone.

What Would Che Think of Same-Sex Marriage? August 6, 2012
Jack Cashill
Progressives may embrace the gay movement now, but it is only a tactic. They want conflict. They want chaos. They want to undermine the last great bulwark against socialism, biblical religion. And they don't care what happens to gays in the process.

On Demanding Tolerance August 4, 2012

The Theater Shooter Is Caught, but the Real Joker Keeps Laughing July 24, 2012
Oleg Atbashian

Obama, The Collective, and Us July 23, 2012
Jeremy Egerer
Though we may look around us and see the effects of other men's labor, and thus predicate our quality of life somewhat upon collectivity, every product, every business, every nation was once a dream in the mind of a single dreamer

Steven Plaut
It is impossible to understand politics in the world today without grasping the fundamental fact that there exist two different lefts. I propose that the two be referred to by everyone as the Stupid Left and the Satanic Left.
If Conservatives Are Social Darwinists, Then... May 6, 2012
Christopher Chantrill
Liberals believe in intelligent design, in accordance with the ancient syllogism: all liberals are intelligent. Liberals advocate big government. Therefore, big government is intelligent.
Trayvon and Zimmerman: The Structure and Elements of a Disinformation Campaign May 3, 2012
Scott Swett
The Trayvon campaign is accurately described as "disinformation" because deception is a fundamental part of its planning, strategy, and implementation. Leftist disinformation campaigns are common but are not widely understood.
America's Useful Idiots May 1, 2012

The Parasite Left October 31, 2011
