Activists rallied outside the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Virginia, Sunday to applaud the man military officials suspect leaked scores of military documents to the WikiLeaks website -- a 22-year-old Army private named Bradley Manning.

It was mush! mush! the whole way through. Through the snow we went, on and on. Our arms sore from constant shoveling, we didn't give up. Our driveways and streets had to be cleared. No one could get to work and many couldn't even get out of their development. As the days wore on we wondered if it would ever be cleared. Worried that our cable TV and internet would go out, we huddled...Flashback! Mr Trooprally's shirt certainly brought those memories back in a hurry. We got about 35 inches in Loudoun County, which is just northwest of Washington DC...

President Obama's ties to far left progressives have been a secret. As he expressed his views in favor not only a larger federal rule in the lives of Americans long before he took office. For example, in this 2001 Chicago public radio station WBEZ interview where he was quoted by the Wall Street Journal and Investor's Business Daily. True democracies were "People's Democracies" and "People's Republics" where the economy was controlled by the government in the name of the people and for their benefit - and redistributive justice ("social justice") assured that each received what they rightly deserved. It is...

Yup, he is—according to Leftist filmmaker Oliver Stone. The filmmaker, along with the upcoming release of his “Wall Street” sequel, has a new documentary called “South of the Border” that praises Chavez, Castro, their allies, and highlights other South American leaders. But, apparently the Venezuelan people aren’t as hot on the near-dictator as Stone is: The documentary is bombing in the country. Personally,...

U.S. Army Col. (Ret.) Ann Wright, on a speaking tour of the United States on behalf of radical pacifist women's group Code Pink, bills herself as an eyewitness to the IDF raid on the Mavi Marmara and what she termed the “murder” of “nine innocent civilians.” However, in an interview with Aaron Lerner of IMRA, she admits she did not actually see the clash between the IDF soldiers and the armed passengers on board the Mavi Marmara.

They certainly did during the Iraq war when they funded terrorists making IED’s to kill American soldiers, but now they have organized and funded to cause the deaths of their own Hamas soldiers. Does this mean that Cindy Shehag and Evans are going to throw blood on themselves or shake their own bloodstained hands? Now they know how...

Here are two videos of House Speaker being heckled by Code Pink as she tried to speak at the “America’s Future Now Conference” in Washington, D.C. Pelosi tried reasoning with the hecklers, who voiced frustration that they had supported Obama, Pelosi and the Democrats, but don’t see the Federal Funding in their states they thought would be coming their way. The radicals on the Left are not satisfied they are getting enough of a payoff from the Democrats now that they control all the levers of power in Washington.
