Is Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a real conservative? Many of his conservative critics charge that he isn’t. This is a common tactic of conservatives: questioning the conservative credentials of their opponents while touting how conservative they are. As if there is any real difference between conservatives when their views are compared with libertarianism. And it is hard to take some of Trump’s critics seriously when they supported Romney in the last election. Two things should be noted about conservatives and conservatism. One, conservative wars are phony wars. And two, being more conservative is not necessarily a good thing. The problem with American ...

Trump Defeated Himself in Iowa Image: Trump Defeated Himself in Iowa By Christopher Ruddy | Tuesday, 02 Feb 2016 12:04 AM Ted Cruz didn’t defeat Donald Trump Monday night in Iowa. Trump defeated himself. I have no doubt that polls showing Trump leading in Iowa – and across the nation – have been largely accurate. Trump is fresh, bold, brash and brave. His message is resonating with millions of Americans. In some ways, he could be starting a Great Awakening in American politics, paving the way for “outsiders” to finally have their voice heard in Washington. If Trump were elected president, it would be historic — the first “Citizen President.” ...
Why Rand Paul's Debate Comments on Race, Prisons Make Him a GOP Outlier

Why Rand Paul's Debate Comments on Race, Prisons Make Him a GOP Outlier A Republican talking about racial disparities is a big deal. As you might expect, Thursday evening’s Republican primary debate offered its fair share of rhetoric and fear-mongering. There was, though, one moment of clarity and even compassion: Rand Paul’s brief monologue about the justice system and its unfairness to people of color, especially relating to drug crimes. When the debate’s moderators brought up last year’s protests in Ferguson, Mo. and the Black Lives Matter movement that has sprung up in the past few years, Paul said this: In Ferguson, for every 100 African-American women, ...

"The establishment Democrats are not going to accept Sanders," he said The Democratic establishment is likely in talks with John Kerry – and Joe Biden again – to enter the presidential race against Hillary if the Emailgate scandal gets worse, according to Dr. Ron Paul. The former congressman said there’s still time for a new candidate to enter considering that during the 1968 race, Democratic frontrunner Lyndon B. Johnson dropped out on March 31, a little over seven months before the Nov. 5 election. “I bet [the chances] are better than 50/50 they’re going to need somebody else because the establishment Democrats are not going to accept Sanders,” ...
Is Congress Declaring War on ISIS…or on You?

Passage of Senator Mitch McConnell’s authorization for war against ISIS will not only lead to perpetual US wars across the globe, it will also endanger our civil and economic liberties. The measure allows the president to place troops anywhere he determines ISIS is operating. Therefore, it could be used to justify using military force against United States citizens on US territory. It may even be used to justify imposing martial law in America. The President does not have to deploy the US military to turn America into a militarized police state, however. He can use his unlimited authority to expand programs that turn local police forces into adjuncts of the US military, and send them ...
Ron Paul's Final Warning

Ron Paul's Final Warning "My most dire prediction is about to come true. And there's not much time left for you to prepare." Dear Reader, Hi. My name is Ron Paul. I'm a 79-year-old from Lake Jackson, Texas. And I had the good fortune to serve 12 terms as a U.S. congressman... During that time, I tried to connect the dots and give you a clear picture of what's going on in our country. And I made life difficult for countless bureaucrats who've built a career on concealing the truth. As far back as 2002, I warned: Americans would become poorer - and more dependent on the government to put food on the table. That the erosion of civil liberties would ...
The Grim Fight Against War

Every candidate running for president accepts war as a necessity. Sens. Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders are on the lower end of this terrible scale, but they are still ready to bomb ISIS, and unwilling to stop the drone wars respectively. Every single politician and every good schoolchild knows that soldiers are good, and they are heroes each and every one. A few soldiers know that they didn’t become heroes just by putting on a uniform, but saying that ruins the story that must be told. Watching seven Republican debates in which nearly everyone demanded blood at one point, I keep thinking of people who fight war, or protect its victims. Some loom large like Raoul Wallenberg and Oskar ...

Former UN ambassador John Bolton reports that 66,000 donors sent in $7 million last year to the political action committees he founded, and that the outreach is on track to raise $21 million for the 2016 election cycle. “The incredible growth in support for the PAC, super PAC and foundation over the last year is a testament to citizens’ overwhelming desire for strong national security policies,” Mr. Bolton says. “With growing threats from terrorists like ISIS, nuclear proliferators like Iran and world powers like Russia and China, Americans want strong leadership.

Trump will most likely have “some other event on another network,” Trump spokesman Corey Lewandowski told CNN in Iowa. He said that the alternative event would seek to raise money for wounded veterans. Late Tuesday night, Fox issued the following statement, Politico reported. The decision comes after Trump had said earlier that he "probably won't bother doing" the ...

What Obama Said About Gun Control in 1996 Will Make You Want to Head to Your Nearest Gun Store President Obama likes to make a big show of telling the American people how much he respects the Second Amendment and the rights of citizens to bear arms. But if you’ve ever suspected that there might be more to the story than what the president is admitting to, you’d be right. Long before Obama was president, he had made his stance on gun rights very clear to those around him. In fact, one of the president’s former colleagues from the University of Chicago Law School, John Lott, claims that Obama had some very strong feelings on the issue once upon a time — and they ...

Donald Trump’s outreach to Christians is bearing fruit, if results of the NBC News/Survey Monkey weekly online tracking poll out Tuesday are any indication. Among white evangelical Republican voters nationally, Trump earned the support of 37 percent, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, whose father is a pastor and has played a key role in recruiting faith leaders to support his son, is at 20 percent. In the same survey conducted the previous week, Cruz registered 9 percentage points higher. Below the top two contenders, Ben Carson earned 11 percent among evangelicals, and Marco Rubio took 10 percent.

While the Washington snowstorm dominated news coverage this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was operating behind the scenes to rush through the Senate what may be the most massive transfer of power from the Legislative to the Executive branch in our history. The senior Senator from Kentucky is scheming, along with Sen. Lindsey Graham, to bypass normal Senate procedure to fast-track legislation to grant the president the authority to wage unlimited war for as long as he or his successors may wish. The legislation makes the unconstitutional Iraq War authorization of 2002 look like a walk in the park. It will allow this president and future presidents to wage war against ISIS ...

Special Report: Stunned by falling poll numbers, Hillary Clinton is hoping that Democrats will rally to her neocon-oriented foreign policy and break with Bernie Sanders as insufficiently devoted to Israel. But will that hawkish strategy work this time, asks Robert Parry. In seeking to put Sen. Bernie Sanders on the defensive over his foreign policy positions, ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is embracing a neoconservative stance on the Middle East and gambling that her more hawkish approach will win over Democratic voters. Losing ground in Iowa and New Hampshire in recent polls, the Clinton campaign has counterattacked against Sanders, targeting his sometimes muddled comments on ...

Reprinted from Paul Craig Roberts, The Neoconservative Threat to World Order (Clarity Press, 2015) Are Nixon’s and the Reagan administration’s crimes noticable on the scale of Clinton’s, George W. Bush’s, and Obama’s? Not much remains of the once vibrant American left-wing. Among the brainwashed remnants there is such a hatred of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan that the commitment of these two presidents to ending dangerous military rivalries is unrecognized. Whenever I write about the illegal invasions of other countries launched by Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama, leftists point to Chile, Nicaragua and Grenada and say that nothing has changed. But a great ...

Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) stump speeches in Dallas, Texas, Glenn Beck confidently said the Florida senator is his second choice for the GOP nomination, presumably after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). “I will tell you, not only could I vote for him, ...

Ted Cruz, if he gets the nomination instead — but there was a qualifier. Trump has been one of the loudest voices pointing out that Cruz may not be allowed to serve as president because he was born in Canada. Trump repeated that point on "Face the Nation" when asked about possible support for Cruz. Trump has said Cruz should get a declaratory judgment from a federal court on ...
Movement Conservatism vs. Trump

The same people that endorsed Romney for president in his first campaign are very concerned about the nomination of an opportunistic, unprincipled businessman: If Trump were to become the president, the Republican nominee, or even a failed candidate with strong conservative support, what would that say about conservatives? The movement that ground down the Soviet Union and took the shine, at least temporarily, off socialism would have fallen in behind a huckster. Some of the things in the anti-Trump editorial make sense as far as they go, but the people producing the editorial aren’t all that credible. Trump is a huckster, but Romney was just as much of a comprehensive fraud in both ...

Unanswered questions about how US sailors wound up in Iran’s hands – and how they got out The events surrounding the interception of ten American sailors in two US riverine boats who somehow wandered into Iranian waters continues to baffle the curious. Not that the American media is to be included among those asking questions: aside from the outraged shrieks of the neoconservative outlets over the alleged “appeasement” of Iran and the so-called “humiliation” of the sailors, no one is asking the most pertinent question of all: how did they get there in the first place? I raised the most obvious questions here: simultaneously, both Glenn Greenwald and Rachel ...

Hillary Pushes For Gays Rights in New Ad, Completely Forgets That Video Shows How She REALLY Feels Hillary Clinton’s camp has come up with a new presidential campaign ad promoting Hillary as the candidate willing to fight for the rights of the LGBT community. It shows images of gay couples kissing one another. The liberal publication Slate has praised the ad in glowing terms, saying that, “The ad forces viewers to confront images that might make them feel slightly uneasy, then encourages them to view such affection as a normal, healthy manifestation of adult intimacy.” But could this ad — and Hillary’s newfound support for gays — be just another ...

Since 1986, Americans have observed the third Monday of January as a federal holiday: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Schools and communities put on marches and commemorative events. Some workers (sadly not including most of the working poor of all races to whose advancement King dedicated his life) get the day off. It’s an election year, so we can expect bombardment by politicians’ pledges of allegiance to this or that subset of Dr. King’s values. Republicans will piously assure us that they hew to King’s dream of “a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Then they’ll get back to finding new ...
