I used to be restrained at the New York Sun so now I write whatever I want.

In a perverse way this dereliction of journalistic duty while reprehensible is understandable because the press lapdogs of this administration do not want to admit that Obama's PC national security policies involving Muslims might have contributed to the Boston attack.

The one clear thing that came out of last week's chaotic activity in Boston, Massachusetts is that real reporters were missing. For that matter, they've been missing since last year's attack in Benghazi.

New York is a very blue state which has been predominantly Democrat for much of my life and while I could understand this was due to its large immigrant population and the party's reputation for its allegiance to them, this repute hasn't been deserved for decades.

Mitt Romney was absolutely right when he noted in a fundraiser that 47% of the people would never vote for him. These are the entitled who never heard what JFK asked Americans to do but care only about what the government can do for them.

Although the term "useful idiots" was originally attributed to Vladimir Lenin, its origin is undetermined but it is very applicable to the naïve celebrities in Hollywood and the media now mourning the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Rush Limbaugh said that for the first time he was ashamed of his country and his words made the top Drudge headline and generated a ton of comments from talking heads in Washington.

The next Pope will have to be vigorous and healthy because the church is at war. It has always been at war against the forces of evil and totalitarianism and has been instrumental in the failures of socialism.

I was tempted to address Cardinal Dolan in my headline but I'm not yet sure how responsible he is for the decision to put two Staten Island schools on the "at risk" list for closure.

It's that time of year when secularists and atheists join forces to eradicate all signs of Christmas from the Christmas season. Thus Christmas trees become "holiday" trees and timid Christians swallow the attacks on their faith and their intelligence.

The youth of the Western World has no concept of history or what their grandparents lived through. The greatest generation that overcame so much in the Great Depression yet succeeded in life gave birth to the worst one - mine.

Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1905 and saw firsthand the communist revolution and takeover of her native country and the subsequent oppression that swallowed it up.

The first time I watched the Jimmy Stewart classic film, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", I was too young to appreciate how very insightful it was in describing how things work in our government.

Call it my senior mind but I had completely forgotten how surreal the 2008 presidential was until I saw the Citizens United film, "Hope and Change."

Then the candidate himself, President Barack Obama gave his speech and spoke of the many plans he has for improving this country's problems and one wonders why he didn't do anything about it when he had a Democrat Congress.

Isn't it curious that the media (with the exception of ABC and FoxNews) refuses to cover a hate crime shooting of a victim at a conservative pro-life organization in Washington, DC if the perpetrator is a leftwing zealot?

Many years ago when the TV Guide was the size of a thin paperback, I recall seeing an ad promoting an upcoming documentary. The full page ad showed a picture of a black man and the ad asked "What do you see - a man or a black man?"

There is no justification for creating sanctuary cities under the guise of protecting immigrant rights because illegal immigrants are not immigrants -- immigrants come to the US legally, and maintain their legal presence.

Socialism has never worked but it is easy to sell to those who refuse to study history which is why progressives use academia as their base of operations. I'm willing to bet that "Animal Farm" and "1984" are no longer recommended reading in today's high schools.
