• ‘What Would the World Look Like if America Never Existed?’: ‘2016′ Creator Dinesh D’Souza Is Back With a New Movie

  March 17, 2013 at 8:22am

  Best way to look at the world without a USA would be take a Glimpse at July 1940. France defeated, England alone facing Nazi Germany but this time no Atlantic Charter, No Lend Lease and no 50 old destroyers in exchange for bases deal. No US Factories making Sherman tanks to be sent to Gen Montgomery’s 8th Army for El Alamein. No food grown in America for England. Without a significant threat to occupied France, Hitler could concentrate fully on Russia which also would not get anything in Lend Lease (those wonderful Studebaker trucks and Roosevelt Sausage, Spam).
  A Europe Dominated not by the Euro and the EU but by the Reichmark and the Third Reich.
  Not to mention a militaristic Japan dominating Asia. To quote the song “oh what a world it would be.” minus allot of freedom.

• So What Is an ‘Assault Rifle’ Really? We Look at the Definitions and How the Term Is ‘Demonized’

  January 13, 2013 at 9:24am

  The actual author of the phrase “Assault Rifle” was Adolph Hitler in 1944 when he gave that name to the MP-44 (Maschinenpistolle 1944) a new German rifle capable of both semi and automatic fire. He called it the Sturmgewehr or Assault Weapon. This was the father of all military rifles after WWII and the model (although denied by the Russians) of the AK-47, designed later but very similar in function and form to the Sturmgewehr-44. We today ride a wave of anti-intellectualism similar to Germany in the early 30s when politicians and media focussed on simple ideas and slogans rather then intellectual discourse. Today it is as back then class warfare and blaming certain groups for (Jews then, Conservatives now) societies problems was easily accepted by the masses with media support, during a time of economic disruption.

• Michael Bloomberg Blames Newtown Shooting on NRA: ‘Connecticut Is Because of Some of Their Actions’

  December 21, 2012 at 1:45pm

  The NRA needs to emphasize some facts. So called Assault Rifles are used in 2% of gun crimes in America. 95% of crimes involving firearms, the guns were illegally obtained. The US History of bans is dismal, remember banning alcohol called Prohibition. a Democrat (FDR) repealled that failure. Then there was the War on Drugs, ask any liberal how effective that was. The attacks on the NRA are part of a political agenda that was started before the unfortunate students of that school were even born. The fact is media for the most part supports that agenda meaning more stories will continue to be written for a longer period of time then the combined media covered Benghazi.

• Celebrities Demand Gun Control on Twitter: ‘Stop Defending Your Right to Bear Arms. You’re Stupid’

  December 15, 2012 at 11:15pm

  The celebs are right, banning guns will work as well as Prohibition did in the 20s and The War on Drugs. Well OK the celebs wont mention those two failures but this time it is different. Because when a country bans guns , like Norway for instance, you never have a student massacre in a country like that. oh wait that did happen last year. Ok but this time it will really really work because no one would be able to buy guns since no one would think of selling them illegally, well except Eric Holder.

• Keith Ellison: Voter ID Is Like ‘The Devil’

  November 1, 2012 at 1:15pm

  He calls voter ID laws the devil, yet Federal Law requires two forms of ID (I-9 form) in order to prove citizenship and get a job in the US. That you need two forms of ID off a very specific list on the back of the I-9 form doesnt bother him or seem disciminatory. (requirement has been around for years) No ID no Job, he is OK with that. No ID no Vote and he evokes Satan.

• Is the Abrams Battle Tank a Sacred Cow That Can’t Be Cut?

  July 30, 2012 at 7:38pm

  The M1 tank was conceived over 40 years ago and entered US service 32 years ago. It has been the finest tank in the world for the last 32 years and a revolution in tank design. It has gone through a number of modifications since it entered service in 1980 (the longest a model of tank has stayed in continous service). Armchair strategists pronounced the death of armored warefare in 1945 (because of nuclear weapons), Then proclaimed it dead again in 1973 because of wireguided Antitank missiles and handheld antitank weapons used in the Yom Kippur war. Once again in 2012 they are trying to say due to counterinsurgency warfare the day of the tank is past. Anything that persistently proves its critics wrong should be maintained!

• ‘Real History:’ The Sinking of The Lusitania

  June 16, 2012 at 2:35pm

  The Uboat Commander was in process of returning back to Germany, he had only one torpedo left when he attacked the Lusitania. He did not now what cargo the Lusitania held but did see that she was listed in Jane’s Fighting Ships (1914 edition) as a reserve auxillary cruiser. This was his justification for his not warning before sinking. The Royal Navy had helped Cunard fund the construction of the Lusitania and Mauretania so then could be used as reserve naval vessals in wartime. The Royal Navy would have installed six inch naval guns on both ships, but this had not been done at the time the Lusitania was torpedoed. Her appearance in Jane’s Fighting Ships was justification enough for U-boat Commander Scweiger.

• How Would the Nazis Have Invaded America in World War II? These Maps Tell…

  September 2, 2011 at 7:37pm

  Those maps were previously used by FDR as talking points to support the US entering into war with Germany prior to Pearl Harbor. Life magazine published them in 1942 after we entered into the war to refocus Americans on Europe, when everyone wanted to strike at Japan first. The German Navy was incapable of supporting an invasion of Great Britain in 1940, and was the primary reason Hitler cancelled Operation Sea Lion or the invasion of England. An invasion of the US, 3,000 miles away would have had the German Navy laughing at such a crazy , foolish concept. When they did hit the US coast in 1942 it was with just six U-boats all they could muster to reach the US.
