A Postcard From the Communist Utopia

by ComradeZ | 7:30 am, October 26, 2011

America is a very interesting place.  In America people have become so comfortable and so rich that they have the luxury to engage in academic debates on the relative merits of various forms of socialist and communist policies as though the 20th century didn’t happen.  I’ve recently had the opportunity to visit with both the [...]

In which the Washington Bureau Chief speculates on private affairs

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 4:29 am, August 26, 2011

Privately speaking, just between you and me, dear reader, I think the established activists of the right have a problem with privacy.  Privacy rights, that we are living in a culture creeping toward a surveillance state, have long interested me.  I’ll say right now that the right is hardly keen in funding any serious study [...]

Barack Obama will have a second term. Here’s why: Part One in a Diagnostic Manual for the Center-Right

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 2:23 pm, July 19, 2011

Our American President is just horrid. Arrogant, unlikeable, not nearly so savvy or clever as he fancies, bubbling over with damning character flaws, getting friendly with all the wrong people, and disgustingly lazy – more given to the “see-the-world-and-have great-parties” aspect of the gig and not so fond of the “get-your-ass-in-the-office-by-seven-and-work” part. Fine, so what. [...]

There is a reason Washington treats you like an idiot…

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 5:18 pm, July 18, 2011

DC treats us all with contempt, treats us like a piteous assortment of fools and incompetents. How dare they, for shame, and all the stock cries of dismay. Just look at what we allow them to get away with. Consider the outrageous lies they tell, and our blase complacency – a bit of yelping from [...]

In which PPC’s in-house privacy nut muses on the folly of airport security.

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 2:41 pm, July 6, 2011

The TSA has a record of failure so blatant that only a seasoned Washington insider could ignore it. No doubt, there’s plenty of theft and a surfeit of unimaginative sexual assault. Yet, aside from what may be explained by perversion and greed, a lot of what happens at airport security recalls a bad Keystone Kops [...]

Libya and Japan: Obama’s “My Pet Goat” Moment

by T.L. James | 8:43 pm, March 16, 2011

Why act like a leader, when you can play golf, pick your NCAA brackets, and take (yet another) fancy vacation? It’s good to have your priorities straight.

The Cyberbullying of Gay Youth

by Julian Dunraven | 4:03 pm, October 13, 2010

Of particular interest is the relatively recent phenomenon of cyberbullying . . . The Post cited several methods of addressing this problem, ranging from additional tolerance education and awareness programs to school administrative punishments to new legislation criminalizing cyberbullying. Such legalistic outcomes, however, would render an already tragic situation truly ghastly.

Do You Suffer from Political Breath?

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 10:41 pm, April 14, 2010

Of course you do; it’s endemic to the trade.  But minty-fresh help is here, with Retsin.  We have no idea what Retsin is, what we’ve now got more of it than ever! PPC is proud to launch a new project.  Political Breath will offer hints on etiquette in activism.  For every misspelled sign, for every [...]

Statism Needs our Cooperation

by Justin Longo | 5:12 pm, December 14, 2009

Even Hitler and the Nazi’s, as totalitarian and ruthless they were, could not have done what they did without the tacit cooperation of the countries they victimized. It’s amazing what a little nonviolent resistance can accomplish: Danish, Norwegian, and Dutch resistance to Nazism from 1940 to 1945 was pronounced and fairly successful. In Norway, for [...]

Empty, Silly Platitudes

by Justin Longo | 11:25 am, November 6, 2009

From the Colorado Springs Gazette article titled, “Fort Hood shooter wanted U.S. out of Iraq, Afghanistan,” Lee said Hasan had hoped Obama would pull troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq and got into frequent arguments with others in the military who supported the wars. But…. I thought they hate us for our freedom? Not convinced?  [...]
