review of American Dreamers: How the Left Changed a Nation

December 27, 2011  •  Frontpage Magazine

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
…But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right

… You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait

…But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

review of Regulators Gone Wild: How the EPA is Ruining American Industry

November 18, 2011  •  Frontpage Magazine

During the 2008 campaign, I was at a John McCain rally where he dampened the enthusiasm of a crowd of cheering Republicans by trying to defend his poll-tested global warming position thusly: "So maybe man isn't causing global warming. Here's how I look at it. Even if they are wrong, we invent new technologies and our kids inherit a cleaner environment — so what's the harm in that?"

That's probably the most common reaction from Americans when they hear conservative arguments about the Environmental Protection Agency's zealous strictures on American industry: So the rules make it a little more expensive for big business? Big deal. I don't want to be harmed by pollution.

If you just sent your son or daughter off to college, unsure of your choice and wondering if you should have done more, spent more or prepared more to get them into a "better" or "more selective" institution, relax. You're not alone.

If you have a junior in high school with good grades, be prepared. You are about to be bombarded with material and advice on how to help get your kid into the "right" university by spending more than an elite education used to cost.

review of Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention

July 28, 2011  •  Frontpage Magazine

When Navy SEAL Team 6 recently disposed of Osama bin Laden, the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan called Barack Obama an "assassin." But according to a new biography of Farrakhan's mentor, Malcolm X, that just may be the pot calling the kettle … well, you know.

Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, one of the summer's bestselling books, surprisingly is less of a hagiography than one might expect from the recently deceased Manning Marable — a veteran leftie whose website on Malcolm X promoted the idea that the authorities were complicit in his assassination.

review of The Wrong War: Grit, Strategy, and the Way Out of Afghanistan

April 19, 2011  •  Frontpage Magazine

When Bing West talks about war, wise people listen. When Bing West says an American war effort isn't working, we better listen.

West is no reflexive anti-war critic. If anything, this Marine's reflexes go the other way. This grandfather (and father of a Force Recon Marine), still can't stay away from the action, spending more time within the sound of the guns than few others not still wearing the uniform.
