Another must read new book! Learn the names of the cast of unseemly characters & communist subversives, past & present: “Who Was Karl Marx?: The Men, the Motives and the Menace Behind Today’s Rampaging American Left” by James Simpson: https://cdrkerchner.wordpress.com/2021/06/27/who-was-karl-marx-the-men-the-motives-and-the-menace-behind-todays-rampaging-american-left-by-james-simpson/

President Donald Trump had his life threatened by a former Kentucky police officer now facing federal charges, according to an extensive criminal complaint. Former Bowling Green police officer Andrew Long Ryan, 37, was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday on two counts of making threats against the president, according to U.S. Attorney Don Cochran of the Middle District of Tennessee. Ryan now of Greenbrier, Tenn., was in federal custody Thursday. He was initially charged in a criminal complaint on Monday for posts he made on Facebook and Twitter about Trumpon May 28-29, according to court records. In a lengthy...

Progressivism has always been a quasi-religious faith, whose doctrines center on the perfectibility of man if only the educated classes (its very own priesthood) are able to command sufficient authority. Marxism, too, is a faith, one that denigrates other religions as the “opiate of the people.” Religions devolve into cults when they set themselves in opposition to the entire world outside their confines, and when they insist that their members hold unique insights and virtues, and so have a duty to shun and denigrate the “gentiles” (everyone else). Cult leaders understand that exposure to outsiders leads to a diminishment of...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Hugo Chavez is room temperature. I know that. The smell of sulfur is everywhere, and, yes, we have the sound bites. The media in this country is extremely sad. It's hilarious to listen to this. We have story here from USA Today, and the way they headline the story is this: "'Who Will Take Care Of Us?' Poor Say After Chávez Dies." There's an object lesson here about where this country is headed. We've joked often about the similarities between Hugo Chavez and Obama, but they're really somewhat serious here. A 27-year-old housewife is quoted in the...

The American Left attempts a bloodless coup Sandy Rios - Guest Columnist - 4/29/2009 8:45:00 Totalitarian movements have always destroyed their enemies. Peter the Great of Russia murdered members of the Streltsy military corps by taking the ax of the executioner to cut off their heads one by one himself. The Bolsheviks murdered the last Russian Czar—along with his wife and family—by telling them they were going to have their picture made. As they smiled into the camera, they were shot, buried and had acid poured over their remains. Stalin continued the blood bath of the Russian Revolution by murdering...

A Conservative History of the American Left, by Daniel J. Flynn (Crown Forum, 436 pp., $27.50) In 1969, the Theater for Ideas organized a symposium to discuss whether acting should be “theater or therapy.” The event was prompted in part by the antics of the Living Theater, which had become famous for asking members of the audience to shed their clothes onstage along with the cast. In an emblematic moment, the distinguished critic Robert Brustein, one of the symposium’s panelists, spoke of the importance of “supremely gifted individuals” such as Chekhov to the theater—and was met with shouts of “F--k...

US Source "Patriotism threatens free speech with death. It is infuriated by thoughtful hesitation, constructive criticism of our leaders and pleas for peace. It despises people of foreign birth. It has specifically blamed homosexuals, feminists and the American Civil Liberties Union. In other words, the American flag stands for intimidation, censorship, violence, bigotry, sexism, homophobia and shoving the Constitution through a paper shredder. Whom are we calling terrorists here?" -- Barbara Kingsolver, novelist, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, September 27 Syrian Source "How can the U.S. claim itself to be the defender of justice, democracy and freedom and the staunch protector of...

According to ABC News, 2008 presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) may have recently called his moderate-right credentials into question. "McCain has tapped a controversial academic to be a member of his virtual 'kitchen cabinet,'" ABCNews.com noted. That academic -- Niall Ferguson of Harvard University -- is, according to David Weigel of Reason magazine, a "foaming-at-the-mouth 'national greatness conservative.'" This academic has presented, according to Priyamvada Gopal of Cambridge University in Britain, an "aggressive rewriting of history, driven by the messianic fantasies of the American right." Who is this dastardly intellectual twisting the liberal media's beloved "Maverick" McCain into a...

"How do you get a ceasefire with terrorists?" COROLLARY by Mia T, 7.22.06 How do you get a ceasefire with terrorists?--John Bolton Corollary: When terrorists declare war on you…and then proceed to kill you… you are, perforce, at war. At that point, you really have only one decision to make: Do you fight the terrorists… or do you surrender?--Mia T     "Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan. He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in '91 and he went to the Sudan. We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They...

On Feb. 20, The Augusta Free Press published my rant column, "The Betrayal of America," in which I took off on the American Left, especially the Communist Party and its sympathizers, foolish liberals, the mainstream media, the Democratic Party, and even the present Republican leadership of Congress and some in the White House. If I forgot anyone, I'm sorry, but there will be other columns in which to catch up with the blithering idiots in our political and media systems. The purpose of the rant was to let out a lot of intellectual frustration that I've been holding in, as...

Tick-TockFebruary 17th, 2006 The sounds you’re hearing are the last gasps of life of the Middle East’s autocracies and the bankrupt ideology of the American left. A left that was once idealist when it should have been realist and now has discovered “realism” at a moment in history ripe for idealism. Cynics would conclude the shift occurred to counter the paradigm shift in American foreign policy itself. The catalyst that has set the sands dripping through the hourglass is the strategic invasion and subsequent principled reconstruction of Iraq. The failed policy of past administrations that merely demanded stability in the...

Liberals in America are trying to take over the White House and dictate to a sitting president who should be on his personal staff. The media follows the president to foreign soil to hound him about "Plamegate," and all the while, parts of Europe are coming unglued. The liberal media in America barely mentions it. The media carefully sidesteps the fact that the riots in France are Islam-driven. The riots in Denmark are barely mentioned. The Muslim riots will spread and demands for Muslim autonomy will be made. This is just the beginning of the war for Europe. The second...

Book Review of: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left, By David Horowitz, Regnery Publishing, Inc. 2004. 296 pp. The nature of political doublespeak never changes and its agenda is always the same: Obliteration of historical memory in the service of power…. Only a restored memory can demolish totalitarian myths and make men free. (David Horowitz, in Big Lies, Center for the Study of Popular Culture, 2005) At first sight, a merger of the secular political left and the Islamist radical believers is an anomaly. But this book carefully dissects the secret of their partnership: their shared hatred of...

RUSH: Having now gotten their wish in having Terri Schiavo put to death by court order, the American left is now free to turn their attention to saving Scott Peterson (news) from the same fate, which will no doubt happen. Again greetings: 800-282-2882 is the number. Terri Schiavo passed away, 9:03 this morning at the hospice down in Pinellas Park, Florida. We're going to talk about that. We'll talk about the court decision, this majority opinion written from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeal yesterday. This was incredible. It's arrogant. This judge, Mr. Birch, a Bush appointee, Bush 41 appointee,...

I am looking at the front page, top center story in the Sacramento Bee for Friday, December 3, 2004, the gist of which is that a Christmas tree was erected in the rotunda of the Federal courthouse in Sacramento. Soon after, an attorney donated a Menorah to the display to commemorate Hanukkah, which almost immediately aroused a controversy, as a result of which both the Menorah and the Christmas tree were removed, which aroused another controversy, whereupon the Menorah and the Christmas tree were restored to the rotunda, and ever since a debate has raged whether it is permissible to...

CONGRESS HAS NO BUSINESS FORCING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS TO SUBSIDIZE FIDEL CASTRO'S REGIME Should American Taxpayers Subsidize Fidel Castro? by Frank Calzon Executive Summary At the end of July, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on two amendments, each approved by 95 vote margins, to end restrictions on travel and lift restrictions on financing exports to Cuba. The Senate will consider the legislation soon. While the White House has threatened to veto any legislation that would “bolster the Cuban dictatorship,” the anti-Embargo lobby argues that US tourism will benefit Cubans without strengthening Castro, and that trade with Havana will mean substantial...

SFSU Update: A Parent's Tale Remember this? On May 7, there was some on-campus ugliness at SFSU. During a peace rally organized and held by Jewish students, pro-Palestinian counter-protestors harassed, threatened and verbally abused rally attendees. SFSU officials did little to stop this behavior. Mainstream press response to it all was surprisingly light. Well, now Patricia Jennings, mother of rally-organizer and SFSU student Isaac Goldstein, has kindly decided to share her own experiences as they relate to this event. She attended the event herself, and was naturally dismayed at what played out. Rather than summarize her experience, I'll quote the...
