I relocated for politics. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. What I discovered was not only a better political environment but also a much better culture, which of course was the basis for the politics. I encourage everyone, whatever his politics, to consider an analogous relocation. In my case, I went […]
Capitalism and socialism are opposite social systems. Under capitalism, intercourse is consensual. Under socialism, including its variants such as fascism, intercourse is compulsory or forbidden. Because I love America and respect millions of Americans, I still have hope that neither Trump (the flamboyant fascist scoundrel) nor Clinton (the female fascist scoundrel), will be president. Both […]
On Friday, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz posted on Facebook that he will vote for Donald Trump. Here are some statements from that post: “by any measure Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable—that’s why I have always been #NeverHillary. If Clinton wins, we know—with 100% certainty—that she would deliver on her left-wing promises, with devastating results for […]
For generations, defenders of freedom have sought a Republican who would not cave in to Democrats and other statists, who would remain true to the principle of freedom. As in his solitary marathon stand to defund Obamacare, as in his condemnation of Republican leadership in Congress, Ted Cruz once again proved that he is a […]

(An edited and shortened version of this post appears on my Medium channel.) Since endorsing Ted Cruz for president in my previous post (and see also this good article by Craig Biddle endorsing Cruz), I have had interesting discussions with friends on Facebook regarding the religiosity of Cruz. Because we do not have the opportunity […]
The past two presidential elections have pitted a democrat against a fascist. In both cases, the democrat lost. The capital-D Democrat Obama was, charitably speaking, the fascist. Those past two elections were lost when the Republicans, under the influence of the mainstream media, nominated a democrat. This year, America is in danger of seeing the Republicans […]
In this article about Islam, about which libraries have been written, I will make or allude to these main points: – In the Koran, more fundamental than the pervasive call to violence against non-believers is the pervasive call for coercion; and more fundamental than the pervasive call for coercion is the pervasive call for submission […]
In 2013, regarding immigration, I wrote, Any non-criminal, non-disease-carrying individual should be free to enter the United States and work just like any American citizen. I was wrong. I failed to realize that an enemy can organize large numbers of people who have not yet committed a detectable crime, but who have committed—or are at […]
At the Democratic presidential debate on Saturday, Hillary Clinton said, And we also need to make sure that the really discriminatory messages that Trump is sending around the world don’t fall on receptive ears. He is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in […]
