SARGE: A Call To Arms
It’s my purpose to light a fire under people regularly complaining about the misdirection of their government while doing nothing to change it. Yes. I’m talking about people more interested in directing arias toward the choir than delivering a proper... (Continue reading)
Remembering Margaret Thatcher Today
Britain’s greatest prime minister died last night of a stroke. She was 87. We’d like to offer a tribute to Margaret Thatcher as she ascends to her rightful place in heaven, but we can’t do better than the Heritage Foundation... (Continue reading)

SARGE: Washington’s Prophecy

Quote of the day
Quote Of The Day, June 18, 2013
“I believe that any American who is in possession of [knowledge about Communist activities] has the obligation to make them known, either to the public or to the appropriate government agency. We must never let the Communists get away with the pretense that they stand for the very things which they kill in their own countries. I am talking about free speech, a free press, the rights of property, the rights of labor, racial equality, and, above all, individual rights. I value these things. I take them seriously. I value peace, too, when it is not bought at the price of fundamental decencies.”- Film director Elia Kazan, in a 1952 open letter published in space he purchased in the New York Times, amid the House Un-American Activities Committee investigations. Kazan, who at one time had been a communist but left that party in disgust, was one of the few witnesses before that committee to name names of communist party members.
