It all over but the vote counting. I agree with the assessment below. Senator John McCain will be the Republican nominee for US President.

Recently, I encountered a woman who –peculiarly – believes only radical Islam embraces Sharia.

In the US, C-SPAN's weekend cable progam called BookTV.org, will broadcast over 3 hours from October 6th's 50th Anniversary celebration of Altas Shrugged's publica

Political scientist R. J. Rummel was recently interviewed about the struggle to secure democracy in Iraq. He touches upon Leonard Peikoff and libertarians' views of Bush's policy.

Ayn Rand Versus Ayaan Hirsi Ali – which US immigrant makes the better booster?

The Hsiekovian fear of Republican-installed theocracy is now - if inadvertently - diagnosed by University of Michigan psychiatrist Pat Santy.

The phenomenon of displacement is at work when people express fear all out of proportion to reality, and direct it at an objectively less powerful or less threatening source.

Just last weekend, Johns Hopkin’s University professor Fouad Ajami reported on his lastest and seventh trip to Iraq (since the war), and meeting with Iraq’s Prime Minister al-Maliki

He was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) – the FT of the US - on a weekend FoxNews cable TV program.

For example, the ethics and politics of the moocher versus the producers - the self-sacraficial Leftist versus the egoistic capitalist.

"'Who is Jamil Hussein?' is becoming the new 'Who is John Galt?'" says Michelle Malkin.

Diana Hsieh and likely others, have said that imminence of theocracy is not a part of what Linz has dubbed "the Hsiehkovian’s" argument.

The first Muslim elected to the US Congress wants to take his oath of office with a Kor'an instead of the Bible. We all saw President Bill Clinton get impeached, and people wildly trashed the significance of his oath of office.
