Onward, Statist Soldiers! The glad tidings have resounded from the talk radio minarets and Mega-Church madrassas of the Bushi’ite Right: All praise our Dear Leader (peace be upon him) for his bold and noble act in “protecting” San Diego’s Mount Soledad War Memorial.A more honest description of Bush’s act would be: Staging a federal land-grab […]

The Next Waco (part one of an irregular series) Whatever it is that causes charisma, Warren Jeffs, the fugitive Prophet of the Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints (FLDS) Church, seems to have isolated the antidote.Jeffs is a lanky nebbish who looks a bit like Rick Moranis, minus the raw animal magnetism that makes the “Ghostbusters” actor an […]

Support Your Local Police (State)?!?

The Hive Mind Utah is “the most culturally communistic society I’m aware of in the English-speaking world,” commented Michael Humiston, a brilliant family rights attorney who lives in Heber City.That’s a remarkable assessment coming from a politically conservative man who was born and raised in Utah as an active Mormon (albeit one who — last […]

Will Grigg’s Birch Blog — The Lost Episodes A brief preface is in order. On June 22, I published a Birch Blog entitled “Phony Immigration Debate vs. Real Police State Threat.” Within hours it had been, um, misplaced, and never appeared in that space again — even though it had been forwarded throughout the Blogosphere, […]
