MSNBC Guest: 'Virtually All Racists Belong to the Republican Party'
Saturday's AM Joy on MSNBC displayed the latest example of the liberal news network's eagerness to bring the kind of Republicans onto their shows who will trash other Republicans. While appearing as a guest to promote his book, The Truth Matters, former George H.W. Bush Treasury official Bruce Bartlett actually asserted that "virtually all racists belong to the Republican party today," and made a Nazi reference to Josef Goebbels as he attacked the right-wing media for supposedly misinforming conservatives.

Political Correctness vs. The Truth
Liberal infrastructure often seeks to justify its existence by enforcing political correctness. Modern democracy has “perfected even despotism itself” in its capacity to compel conformity of the mind and heart. Our nation’s health and vitality may rest on the future rule or defeat of political correctness.

From the Reformation to Austrian Economics
The beginning of the Protestant Reformation is commonly dated to Martin Luther’s nailing of “95 Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences” on the door of All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg on Oct. 31, 1517, 500 years ago this year. The church door was a sort of community bulletin board, and Luther’s list was a way of opening a public debate. Within a year, a German-language version (the original was in Latin) had gone viral throughout the region, and other pamphlets and books soon followed. Today, many people may think of the 16th century Reformation as an internal dispute among Christians over arcane theological concepts that have lost their relevance and force. But the implications of the Reformation are more than ecclesiastical or theological. They include shifts in economic thought as well, and Protestant ideas have had a lasting impact on our way of thinking about markets and liberty.

A Bipartisan Dossier of Collusion
At every turn, Democrats get tangled in their own ‘collusion’ web. Have you noticed that we are no longer talking merely about “the Trump Dossier”? Ever since the Washington Post’s startling revelation this week that the dossier was commissioned and paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, there’s been a subtle tweak in the coverage. Now, reports allude to the research that led to the Trump dossier. Why the shift in emphasis? Because the Democrats and their media accomplices are doing what they do best: controlling the terms of the public discussion in order to obfuscate.
