Mitt Romney is a Neo-Con

March 12, 2010

 
Alternative Right is back and today I review Mitt Romney’s No Apology.  He’s decent enough on domestic policy buy unfortunately a neo-con.  Supporting the American empire is a deal breaker for me.  
If Obama launched a war in the Middle East white America wouldn’t rally around him.  The test will be when a Republican is [...]

The Speech Obama Should Give

February 3, 2010

 
Without ever asking, I got signed up for a newsletter that sends out articles trying to show the evils of Zionists and Jews. It has a table of contents and one item on the last one was “How to Save the Obama Presidency: Bomb Iran” by Daniel Pipes. I thought that this title [...]

Should We Worry About Terrorism?

January 6, 2010

 
To Lawrence Auster others can’t be just wrong.  People’s errors are a result of some kind of spiritual or metaphysical failure.  
He posted the following CNN reader comment on his website under the heading “The Liberal Soul Speaketh.”
Imagine if we could turn back the clock and have 9/11 be ignored mostly by the media and [...]
