On April 30, 1995, William S. Lind published an op ed in The Washington Post that foresaw a future breakup of the United States, driven by multiculturalism. The piece described not only America’s second civil war, but also a recovery of our traditional, Western, Christian culture. That cultural and moral recovery was led by a new country located in the northeast, which named itself Victoria because it had returned to Victorian values. Mr. Lind’s op ed has since been turned into a book, Victoria: A Novel of Fourth Generation War, by “Thomas Hobbes,” the well-known theorist of the state and...

House Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) says the "negative atmosphere" created by the tea party movement has influenced the retirement decisions of some House Democrats (but not Bart Stupak): “Do I think that [the] negative atmosphere that’s been created by the Tea Party and by others certainly goes into the thinking of members? I think it does. I think you have to honestly point out that it does,” Hoyer added. “I don’t think that was the determining factor with respect to Mr. Stupak, because again, he was in very good shape in the polls.

The rise in Tea party support is perhaps not surprising at a time when more voters than ever (58%) favor repeal of the...

Christians and conservatives alike are all talking it up these days about “Taking America Back”. Is that really what we need to do – take America back? I would say that “Taking America Back” is not the solution at all but rather the problem. I know “Taking America Back” sounds patriotic and we SO love to blame this mess we’re in on the communists, the liberals, the feminists, the pagans, the homosexuals, the abortionists, the media, the Supreme Court, the Congress, the Senate, George Bush, Bill Clinton, F.D.R., the Illuminati, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers, the Rockefellers, the...

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."This quote from Barry Goldwater, 1964 Republican presidential candidate, pretty well describes, in a nutshell, the concept behind Joseph Farah's book, Taking America Back (WND Publishers). In fact, Farah, founder and editor of WorldNetDaily.com, the Internet's largest independent news site, uses the quote in rebuttal to a Publishers Weekly review that labels his new book's "positions and rhetoric" as "uncomfortably extreme."The fact is, Farah's book will be considered extreme, or even...
