Reporters Inspiring Copycats
The lamestream media told you: Guns should be banned because a maniac in Virginia got some and went on a killing spree, reporters reported. One week later, after incessant prominent promotion of the suicidal immigrant psychopath, reports emerged of others interested in emulating the sick behavior, and setting new atrocity records. Editors [...]
Czars Overrunning America
The lamestream media told you: The AP reports that the Bush administration is having a hard time finding a "war czar," who would coordinate military efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The AP's apparent love, and frequent use of the word "czar," is an affront to the entire American public. A [...]
French Turnaround Possible
The lamestream media told you: "Nicolas Sarkozy, a blunt and uncompromising pro-American conservative was elected president of France on Sunday," the AP reports on page ones across the country. "There were few reports of unrest, despite fears that the impoverished suburban housing projects, home to African and Arab immigrants and their [...]
Virginia Supports Rights
The lamestream media told you: "Efforts to tighten the gun-show law die perennially in Virginia's Republican-run pro-gun general Assembly," writes Bob Lewis for the Associated Press, in a story with a familiar pretense of neutrality. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: Efforts to restrict people's liberty and impose government sanctions [...]
Dead Islamists Missing

Uplift Our Troops As Heroes, Support Their Cause!

Why do we have leaders in Congress who are determined to push benchmarks on an Iraq withdrawal when clearly our enemies are watching every move the Congress makes? Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al Qaeda's number 2 man recently mocked the bill Congress passed giving a time of withdrawal. In an internet video, he [...]
Women Will Never Be Equal, Until Men Have Their (Women's) Rights & Privileges Too
A friend sent me an email a few days ago announcing, "The Kentucky Commission on Women (KCW) will present the 2007 Governor’s Conference on Kentucky’s Women July 13th at the Kentucky International Convention Center in downtown Louisville." He proceeded to ask, "Why is it that women's issues have special conference and special speakers [...]
Known Quantity: An Interview with John Derbyshire.
Possessing diverse life experiences provides writers with a richness of perspective unmatched by many of their peers, and I can think of no writer for whom this is more true than John Derbyshire. He presently is a columnist at National Review and The New English Review, but before becoming a writer worked in the financial markets and even once [...]
Hillary Clinton, a Trojan Horse?
Like many conservatives, I’ve been a frequent consumer of Hillariana over the years. I fondly recall the chapters of The Hillary Trap: Looking for Power in all the Wrong Places, Hell to Pay: The Unfolding Story of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Madame Hillary: The Dark Road to the White House, and Rewriting History. So, with a mix of stimulation and [...]
