FRED HUTCHISON, RA ANALYST — Is Barack Obama a socialist? Well, yes and no. If you mean by that what Americans used to call "creeping socialism" and the Brits called Fabian socialism, yes, Obama is definitely that. Creeping socialism and Fabian socialism is a movement towards socialism by gradual democratic means... (more)

WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — Horrors! The Barack Obama campaign has encountered a reporter who does not treat its candidate as royalty? What's the matter with this woman? Can't she "go with the flow" and join her colleagues in turning a blind eye to all issues that do not reflect on Obama as the messiah?... (more)


October 30, 2008
JONATHAN FLORA — I find that since the last presidential debate, I am plagued by so many troubling questions. In that debate, Senator Barack Obama claimed that abortion is "always a tragic situation," and added that we should "try to prevent unintended pregnancies by providing appropriate education to our youth, communicating that sexuality is sacred..." Sexuality is sacred?... (more)

JOSEPH PECAR — The Introduction to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop's (USCCB's) Faithful Citizenship document says that it "Highlights the role of the Church in the formation of conscience" and "With this foundation, Catholics are better able to evaluate policy positions, party platforms, and candidates' promises and actions in light of the Gospel and the moral and social teaching of the Church in order to help build a better world"...

DAVID KUPELIAN — "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." -- Abraham Lincoln... (more)


October 29, 2008
MICHELLE MALKIN — To paraphrase Queen Elizabeth II, 2008 is not a year on which honest journalists shall look back with undiluted pleasure. This has turned out to be even more of an annus horribilis than 2004, when Dan Rather's fake Bush/National Guard memo fiasco redefined the "BS" in CBS News... (more)


October 29, 2008
ASSOCIATED PRESS — Officials are gearing up for the day next month when gay and lesbian couples can begin tying the knot in Connecticut. Attorneys involved in the gay marriage case said Tuesday that couples can begin picking up marriage license applications sometime on or after Nov. 10... (more)

BRAD O’LEARY — Barack Obama has a stunning lack of tolerance for free speech. And one thing Americans can expect from an Obama administration, and a Democratic-controlled Congress, is a legislative attempt to bring back the so-called Fairness Doctrine, which will limit free speech and diminish the conservative influence on talk radio... (more)


October 29, 2008
PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY — Big Media have pulled out all their stops in trying to elect Barack Obama by withholding from the American people the truth about his radical record and associates. Big media, their polls and the presidential debates practically ignored front-burner issues important to millions of Americans... (more)


October 28, 2008
NEWSMAX — [...] Bloggers have been using clearly phony names and addresses on Obama's online and credit card page -- and finding that Obama turned off all the credit card security features. Most merchants will bounce back a credit card order if the card number doesn't match the cardholder's name, address, zip code and other personal information... (more)


October 28, 2008
REUTERS — In a room full of television industry executives, no one seemed inclined to defend MSNBC on Monday for what some were calling its lopsidedly liberal coverage of the presidential election... (more)


October 28, 2008
NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE — Barack Obama leads in the national polls and in the Electoral College count. If elected, he can be expected to work manically to exploit the short window of opportunity that greets every new president, a period that could prove especially fruitful for a charismatic young president borne to the White House on a tide of idealism... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — Sometimes those of us who have been around awhile take too much for granted. I tend to assume, for instance, that most Americans understand socialism is an evil, immoral system of economics and government.
