Tucson’s Best Export
/in Culture Wars, Education /by Craig J. CantoniTUCSON – A recent story in the Arizona Daily Star mentioned Tucson’s best export.

/in Culture Wars, Education, Liberty, National Security, Politics /by Neland NobelDennis Prager, perhaps the most cerebral of talk show hosts, makes the distinction between being a “Liberal” and being a “Leftist.” That distinction is important as we observe how far to the Left the Democrat Party has moved away from its ideological moorings.

Man who rammed car into Capitol barricade and charged officers with a knife was follower of Nation of Islam
/in Courts & Law, Culture Wars, DrRichSwier.com, National Security, News, Politics /by Robert SpencerThe Nation of Islam is Louis Farrakhan’s group. They don’t follow orthodox Sunni or Shi’ite Islam, but a strange syncretistic new religion based in part on Islam and in part on bizarre and paranoid racial hate fantasies.

Tucson Is the Authentic San Francisco
/in Culture Wars, Economy, Liberty, Politics /by Craig J. CantoniTUCSON – San Francisco and the larger Bay Area, including Silicon Valley, are collectively known as the nation’s center of progressivism, or left-liberalism.
