Bill Murchison: Main Street USA: Women in Danger!

A major detail of the Fort Hood horribleness has escaped comment, insofar as I can tell. I'm going to comment, therefore -- with no expectation that many if any will note the civilizational shift it connotes. The detail is this: Of the 13 who died, ...

Bill Murchison: Mrs. Pelosi Thumbs Her Nose

After 10 months of Nancy Pelosi at the helm of the House, Americans could be forgiven for unfurling their umbrellas should the speaker announce the sun was shining. A "historic" vote for "health care," huh? The lady says so. Let her have her day. She ...

The Campaign Spectator Tex Mess

Just what conservatives need right now -- a family feud in our largest conservative state. "You louse!" "You heel!" "Get that thumb out of my eye!" "No -- put down that frying pan first!" Can we hardly wait? Actually, there's no need. It's begun ...

Bill Murchison: The Fort Hood Massacre

It makes no sense to see Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, as represented in at least one family account, as the victim of "harassment" by fellow soldiers (and therefore a candidate for "understanding"?) He's an officer. Soldiers don't harass officers. It ...

Bill Murchison: Can Washington Make You Buy Health Insurance?

Yes, yes, says White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. Congress has the power to make everyone buy health insurance. "I don't believe there's a lot of case law that would demonstrate the veracity" of comments to the contrary. Thank you, Mr. Justice ...

Bill Murchison: Comeback Time for Christians

The Holy Father -- Pope Benedict XVI -- offers to let Episcopalians and other Anglicans of Catholic disposition join the Roman Catholic Church, while retaining characteristics of their Anglican identity. And who in the booming pagan market cares a ...

Bill Murchison: Obama and his 'Enemy' Fetish

One element in last summer's Obama ruckuses -- there's always an Obama ruckus going on, it seems -- was a few placards at tea party rallies comparing the president to a certain A. Hitler. Both the comparisons and the ensuing ruckus they caused were ...

Bill Murchison: Main Street USA: Political Delusions

Plutarch tells us that, back in the fifth-century B.C., when the citizens of Athens were voting on whether to ostracize -- i.e., throw out -- Aristides the Just, one sourpuss explained his emphatic yes vote: "I am tired of hearing him called 'the Just.' ...

Bill Murchison: Dave's and Roman's World

The Institute for American Values gives us the news that -- all right, they don't say it in so many words, but two and two are easy to add, and there seems no way not to understand that David Letterman didn't inadvertently become a cad and a bounder ...

Bill Murchison: Freedom -- the Key Foreign Policy Concept

George W. Bush got banged up badly for his foreign policy choices: Iraq, Guantanamo, "torture," a certain tonal disdain for critics foreign and domestic. It will be interesting to see, in a matter of weeks or possibly days, how his successor, Barack ...
