soviet union

There is not a living soul who is proud of what national politics has become. 

In a country that is both democratic and socialistic, we might suspect that crafty politicians will run for office by promising more and more free stuff.

In the ancient world, there was often a philosophy of life that the events surrounding man and the world he lived in went in circles and cycles.

Imagine that in 1946 the general-secretary of the United Nations had submitted a resolution to the General Assembly stating that Nazi crimes were so horrendous and despicable that the countries of the world needed to impose a blanket censorship on any public reference to or discussion of Hitler or his henchmen

While many people are focused on the upcoming U.S. elections and which political party will have majority control in Congress, there is—and has been—a far more dangerous and deeper political struggle going on in the United States.

It was in 1848 that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published their epic work, Communist Manifesto, that has impacted so much of the world since that time,  but not in positive ways.

November 7 marks a century since the founding of one of the most murderous tyrannies in human history.

The policy expressed in President Trump’s speech at the United Nations could be view strategically.

Much has been rightly said about recent attacks on conservative, libertarian, and other non-leftist speakers on college and university campuses around the country.

December 24, 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the formal end of the Soviet Union as a political entity on the map of the world.

Socialism is a failed ideology. It was the avant-garde approach to how to do government – in the Twentieth Century. The Soviet Union was the flagship petri dish. That conquered, infiltrated or ingratiated themselves with many other nations – to establish them as additional petri dishes (Hello, Cuba). We certainly now have a large enough, long enough sample set – and the results are in. The system is contaminated – Socialism does not work.

Was there a resounding clamor for an EPA? Certainly not from Republicans. And not from Democrats – else Nixon could have (should have) gone to the bi-cameral-Democrat-majority Congress for legislation. (Actually, to expand the federal government’s purview to this massive degree would have – should have – required a Constitutional amendment.)

Since the Reagan administration, the United States has, under various guises, sought to develop technology that would render enemy intercontinental ballistic missiles non-threatening to its people and interests. The national missile defense program has been aimed at bringing about the end of foreign missile threats from rogue states and geopolitical foes alike. Missile defense systems have grown exponentially more effective and sophisticated, and have culminated in an interceptor system that will soon make missile attacks on areas shielded by such systems pointless.
