Fort Sumter, Wisconsin

Glenn Beck has referred to the recent events in Egypt as a possible “Prince Ferdinand Moment” in our rapidly unfolding global events. The events in Wisconsin on Thursday, February 17th, could well be America’s modern Fort Sumter. I’m not breaking any real news flash when I point out and characterize the political pressure cooker that [...]
Obama, Tea Parties, and God

Filed under A.R. Essentials, News & Views
One of my favorite contributors here at America’s Right is Lisa Fritsch. She’s an incredible woman, an endless font of optimism and faith, and someone whom I cannot help but admire. Imagine my glee when she told me that she is working on a book. An excerpt from that upcoming book, Obama, Tea Parties, and [...]

Of all the books I read for literature classes in high school and as an undergraduate, the one that has had the longest lasting impact on me is The Sheltering Sky. I read it as a sophomore in high school before I had ever heard of Sartre or Kierkegaard or de Beauvoir or Camus. I [...]
Targeted by Default

I don’t know how they do it. Time and time again, the left manages to pin these disgruntled, deranged individuals and their sick, twisted, bloody actions on the American right. Despite being able to bring together millions of people from coast to coast with only one indiscretion–an idiotic redneck at a Rand Paul event who [...]

While on the phone with Brad Fregger a week or two ago, I found out a pretty interesting tidbit about this particular AR contributor: Brad has produced some of the most successful computer games of the past three decades; for example, he was the designer and producer of the first commercial version of computer card [...]
Review: ‘Roots of Obama’s Rage’
November 9, 2010 by Johnny Lathrop
Filed under A.R. Essentials, News & Views
Americans have been trying to figure out who Barack Hussein Obama really is ever since he stepped into the spotlight at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. In 2008 he captured the hopes and dreams of an entire generation of young Americans who had never cared about politics, and for them be became the ultimate symbol [...]

First of all, thanks to Jeff Schreiber for inviting me to share some of my writing here at America’s Right. I’ve been preparing stuff for the last couple of weeks, and I’ve got a lot of great topics I’m looking forward to hitting. But before I get to my piece reviewing “The Roots of Obama’s [...]
The Myth Surrounding Job Creation

A few days ago, I was listening to President Obama’s Labor Day speech about “creating jobs” — union jobs, of course — by providing $50 billion of “seed money” to jump-start a huge national infrastructure maintenance and upgrade program. As I understand it, the $50 billion is only a first installment of a proposed program [...]

I used to be a liberal Democrat. Those who have been visiting these pages for a while know that. Those who are new to America’s Right – well, surprise! I still remember how to think like them. To be honest, it’s not all that difficult — a quickie divorce from reality, an irrational focus on [...]
The AR Response to the 2010 State of the Union Address
January 28, 2010 by Jeff Schreiber
Filed under A.R. Essentials, News & Views
“A populist nightmare.” That’s how Barack Obama’s first official State of the Union speech-in-progress was described to me over the phone by a friend who called right as I left class a few minutes earlier than 10:00 p.m. last night. He was right. A year ago today, another world leader took to the stage at [...]
