Last week, I reported that an Iranian pastor, Youcef Nadarkhani, was to be sentenced to death for apostasy.  Now, the political branches in Iran are upping the stakes, intending to execute him for being a Zionist threat to national security instead. We should all remember, as Obama...

As some of you may recall, Meghan McCain started a twitter war with Prof. Jacobson after she misread both the content and the author of a post earlier this year. As a consequence, I've avoided taking jabs at McCain the younger from fear that she might...

#OccupyWallStreet is organized agitprop designed to deflect attention from the Obama administration's failings onto "Wall Street,"  although many of the participants don't understand how they are being used.  The Washington Post now is fully aboard Team Obama, doing its best to take down Rick Perry this...

The "Occupy Wall Street" craze has spread to major U.S. cities. From what I can tell, the backbone of this movement are college-aged students like myself who blame corporations for their misfortunes, particularly college affordability and it's consequences on employment. They should be angry at the government for...

In tagging Rick Perry with the "painted-over rock" allegation without first learning the facts? Yes, I think so.  It certainly is fine to point out that the name was offensive, but to suggest that Perry somehow was responsible was a bridge too far (transcript via MVOPOV): WALLACE:...

I know, I said Bye-Bye Brown last spring after he wrote an op-ed in Politico slamming the Ryan plan and playing into the Democratic meme that Republicans want to abandon seniors.  And he has been a disappointment on several key votes, such as Dodd-Frank. But...

I've noticed a conspiracy theory on Twitter going through random tweets using the #OccupyWallStreet hashtag, namely that the police steered the protesters onto the Brooklyn Bridge, where several hundred were arrested (most released immediately). Now the conspiracy theory is being fed by The Village Voice which...

A tale of two videos. It is not okay to sit silently when a single person in an audience shouts something: We don’t believe in the kind of smallness that says it’s okay for a stage full of political leaders -- one of whom could end up being...
