"You'd better have a great credit line at the Bank of Jihad"

Mark Steyn: The Spirit of Geert Wilders

On the weekend I visited Blenheim Palace, the birth place of Winston Churchill, and I took some photos.

One for the "With Friends Like This" category...Ann Barnhardt's going "old testament" on the Church's ass...Not for her the "effeminate Jesus," Ms. B wants all good Christians to wake up and, like that pastor in the news recently, "beat the gay" out of the Communist-Homosexual agenda...

Gay Day for Gays
by Edward Hudgins

May 10, 2012 -- President Obama’s announcement that he supports same-sex marriage is likely to mean that in a decade or two this will no longer be a major public policy issue. Individuals of whatever gender will be able to enter into marriage contracts.

You have to hand it to the filth.

Rand created Randroidism. It was a serious moral failing on her part -- but she did it.

Paul Ryan, Ayn Rand, and my Thom Hartmann interview
By Edward Hudgins

On May 2, 2012, I appeared on “The Big Picture,” a TV show hosted by Thom Hartmann, to discuss the recent controversy surrounding Rep. Paul Ryan’s views on Ayn Rand.

Here’s the video, with my segment from time mark 35:25 through about 42:25.

Mr Aglialoro evidently said to the critics of Pt 1 at one point, "You won" and decided to abandon the project. But he recovered from his funk and Pt 2 is being filmed as we speak.

As I expected, the issue of intellectual property rights gets objectivists, and others in the the broad free market/classical liberal school really fired up.

Following the 2011 election, it has become clear that Act, with an authoritarian conservative as its sole MP, is dead as a force of freedom.

Free Speech and Occupy Wall Street

The Occupy Wall Street protesters were allowed to remain in New York’s Zucotti Park for two months, against the will of its private owners. They were clearly trespassers, indeed, much worse than garden variety trespassers, who almost always quickly leave. They were there prepared to stay indefinitely. In effect, they were literally attempting to steal the park from its lawful owners.

For all sad words of tongue or pen
The saddest are these:
It might have been.

—John Greenleaf Whittier

I note that Don Brash, just before the Cuppagate "scandal" broke out, cited the speech in which he offered his personal musings about the cannabis laws as his "biggest mistake" of the 2011 election campaign.

What a lovely surprise. I pre-ordered it a couple of months ago and forgot about it. This is such perfect timing as I am at home today tucked up with a bout of the flu.

Anwar Awlaki, the U.S. born al Qaeda leader whose writings inspired Muslims, including the U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan of the Fort Hood massacre, to commit terrorist attacks against Americans, has been killed by a CIA drone attack in Yemen. But Ron Paul, that potential savior of America according to some SOLO posters, has already condemned the Obama administration for "assassinating" this man without a trial.

In a historic move, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is asking people to submit ideas about which UK laws need to be scrapped.

SOLO-International Op-Ed: Dollars for Despots

Yet another hopeless talkfest kicks off today as officials from the morally bankrupt United Nations meet the wholly corrupt ministers and bureaucrats of 15 Asian and Pacific Island states tagged, ‘Least-developed countries.’ (LDCs)

I hate to use the word hope, not only because of a certain politician's use of the word, but also because my grandmother always told me that "hope is just a little bit better than despair."

"The emotion involved in art is not an emotion in the ordinary meaning of the term. It is experienced more as a 'sense' or a 'feel,' but it has two characteristics pertaining to emotions: it is automatically immediate and it has an intense, profoundly personal (yet undefined) value-meaning to the individual experiencing it.

Surprise, surprise.
