The Constant Conservative: An Interview with James Antle.
By Bernard Chapin
I first became familiar with W. James “Jim” Antle III in 2003 when I began submitting to enterstageright.com—a website where he was, and is, the Senior Editor.

Commercialism Inundates the Holidays
It starts earlier and earlier each year…the mad dash to grab the latest and hot items during the Christmas season. All in the name of commercialism and consumerism. The Christmas holiday is being hyped up way before it’s approach. But only for the money the season brings in.

As the Democrat Partying Dies Down…
…as the Democrats finish celebrating their victory in both the House and the Senate, I wonder, what’s next? America wants to know how they will govern.
President Bush offered humble congratulations to various Democrats who secured a win, but are Democrats willing to be as gracious in return? Are they going to take their jobs seriously, working [...]

Vote Wisely and Have Faith in the Election System
I’ve had the opportunity to poll watch during Tennessee’s Early Voting period, and have observed voters doing their civic duty. The problems that have been predicted by analysts and the media in regards to problems with voter machines have been blown out of proportion.
