Marybeth Hicks Columnist The Washington Times Call it an occupational hazard, but I can’t look at the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters without thinking, “Who parented these people?” As a culture columnist, I’ve commented on the social and political ramifications of the “movement” – now known as “OWS” – whose fairyland agenda can be summarized [...]

Calling An Islamist an Islamist Overdue
“[T]he scandal is not that House Committee on Homeland Security chairman Peter King (R., N.Y.) [held] hearings on ‘The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community’s Response.’ The scandal is that they have been so long in coming.

Constructive Ideas in a Civil Tone
In a recent newspaper letter-to-the-editor the writer was looking for someone who could “present constructive ideas in a civil tone.” It seems rather odd that this request should come in a letter filled with anything but a civil tone.

Rush it through before they read it!
So back then, it was bad to rush things through Congress, but now it’s the way to get things done! And the more we can throw out there at them, the sicker they’ll get of hearing it, and they’ll become so confused about what’s good and what’s bad, that we can get anything passed we [...]
