Chicago Braces for Leftist Violence and Mayhem

May 21, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from the May 18 edition of Front Page Magazine: Chicago Braces for Leftist Violence and Mayhem By Matthew Vadum The Left’s violent attacks on the yet-to-begin NATO summit in Chicago are already underway as anti-American activists hope to recreate the mayhem that accompanied the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle. Radicals clamoring for “change” have said for months that the actions in Chicago are only the beginning. During a heart-warming “F*** the Police” protest action Tuesday night in Chicagoland, mask-wearing demonstrators clad in black clothing carried communist and anarchist flags in hopes of winning the hearts and minds of … Continue reading Chicago Braces for Leftist Violence and Mayhem

VADUM: Revving up the race card: Democrats’ backers deploy radical tactics to expand welfare state

May 21, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

Here is my oped from the Friday edition of the Washington Times: VADUM: Revving up the race card: Democrats’ backers deploy radical tactics to expand welfare state A George Soros-funded pressure group is behind a new drive to teach Democratic congressmen how to smear their opponents as racist. By Matthew Vadum Last week House Democrats were tutored by the radical, left-wing, racial spoils group known as the Center for Social Inclusion. The group was brought in “to address the issue of race to defend government programs,” Joel Gehrke reported in the WashingtonExaminer. “The prepared content of a Tuesday presentation to … Continue reading VADUM: Revving up the race card: Democrats’ backers deploy radical tactics to expand welfare state

Soros Opens the Spigot

May 10, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from today’s Front Page Magazine: Soros Opens the Spigot By Matthew Vadum George Soros is once again putting his money where his mouth is. The Left’s favorite Wall Street billionaire and a cohort of his radical confederates are promising to contribute as much as $100 million to help the Democratic Party win this November so it can lay the groundwork for the destruction of what’s left of American civil society. News of the trust fund tidal wave comes after the Soros-funded Democracy Alliance opted to drown Democrats and President Obama’s re-election campaign in an ocean of cash this … Continue reading Soros Opens the Spigot

Soros Election-Rigging Project Dies?

May 9, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from the May 1 edition of the American Spectator: Soros Election-Rigging Project Dies? By Matthew Vadum on 5.1.12 @ 6:08AM Whatever happened to the left-wing Secretary of State Project liberals promised would save our elections from the dirty tricks of those dang lowdown, yellow-bellied, lily-livered Republicans? The evidence now suggests that the election-stealing, George Soros-funded so-called “527” political committee is dead, or perhaps just deeply sedated. This group that section 527 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code allows to accept unlimited financial contributions was created solely to rig elections for Democrats. It accomplishes this by electing permissive liberal … Continue reading Soros Election-Rigging Project Dies?

Romney Heckler a Paid Soros Operative

May 9, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from the May 2 edition of Front Page Magazine: Romney Heckler a Paid Soros Operative By Matthew Vadum A potty-mouthed employee of a George Soros-funded group tried to shut down a Mitt Romney press conference outside a New York City firehouse yesterday. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee appeared alongside former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to respond to a widely publicized taunt hurled at him by the Community Organizer-in-Chief. Without benefit of a time machine, President Obama, whose extended victory dance over killing 9/11 terrorist Osama bin Laden has been receiving saturation media coverage in recent days, preposterously … Continue reading Romney Heckler a Paid Soros Operative

May Day Terror Begins

May 9, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from the May 1 edition of Front Page Magazine: May Day Terror Begins By Matthew Vadum The Left’s May Day terrorism campaign got underway a day early Monday as at least seven Wells Fargo bank branches in Manhattan reportedly began receiving suspicious envelopes containing white powder in the mail. “This is a reminder that you are not in control,” an accompanying message read. “Just in case you needed some incentive to stop working we have a little surprise for you. Think fast you have seconds.” This effort to intimidate participants in the American marketplace for political advantage was not … Continue reading May Day Terror Begins

May Day Mayhem on Its Way

May 9, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from the April 27 edition of Front Page Magazine: May Day Mayhem on Its Way By Matthew Vadum Occupy Wall Street supporters, labor activists, and other radicals calling for a general strike against capitalism across America on May 1 insist their activities will be peaceful. As usual, they’re lying. Protesters on May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, are going to commit “a lot of violent acts which they’re then going to blame police for,” former community organizer Brandon Darby, a leading expert on leftist tactics, told me in an exclusive interview. As I revealed in my … Continue reading May Day Mayhem on Its Way

Jihadist Junket

April 26, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from Front Page Magazine on Tuesday (April 24) Jihadist Junket By Matthew Vadum Three New York City sociology professors traveled all the way to Tehran earlier this year to badmouth their country in front of America’s Islamofascist enemies, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reports. All three are leftists who support the increasingly violent, anti-American, anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street movement. The Iranian leadership and left-wing groups in the U.S. such as the terrorist-linked Code Pink also support the movement as a way of weakening America. The teachers’ jihadist junket aimed ostensibly at teaching Iranians about the movement provides … Continue reading Jihadist Junket

Community Organizers Mobilize to Save ObamaCare

April 20, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article in today’s Front Page Magazine: Community Organizers Mobilize to Save ObamaCare By Matthew Vadum The Obama administration has enlisted one of America’s leading economic terrorist groups to help defend and promote the president’s widely unpopular socialist healthcare scheme. This development is not all that surprising because when liberal policies threaten to destroy the country Democrats typically think all they need to do is shout louder to make people understand how wonderful the hated policies really are. This ongoing collaboration with radical left-wing community organizers is also part of the Obama reelection campaign’s divide-and-conquer strategy: Inflame the base and … Continue reading Community Organizers Mobilize to Save ObamaCare

Republicans passed the first Civil Rights Act, in 1866

April 18, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

Grand Old Party historian Michael Zak has an interesting article in Human Events. It begins: Thanks to Republicans beginning to appreciate the heritage of our Grand Old Party, it has become better known that Republicans in Congress supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act much more than did the Democrats. Indeed, the legislator most responsible for breaking the Democrat filibuster was a Republican senator, Everett Dirksen.And now, the question that should be before us: How did that landmark legislation come to be? The answer to that is a source of pride for all Republicans today. The origin of the 1964 Civil … Continue reading Republicans passed the first Civil Rights Act, in 1866

The Left’s Spring Offensive

April 17, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article in today’s Front Page Magazine: The Left’s Spring Offensive By Matthew Vadum Communist Van Jones and MoveOn have begun training up to 100,000 activists across the nation in the fine art of terrorizing corporations and the general public in order to force change that the American people don’t want. The activists plan to disrupt shareholder meetings of Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and 30 other large corporations. They also plan to conduct “actions” against education lender Sallie Mae and businesses they accuse of profiting from student indebtedness. Their strategy is remarkably similar to the subversive … Continue reading The Left’s Spring Offensive

DC Emancipation Day, brought to you by the Republican Party

April 16, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

A guest column from historian Michael Zak: DC Emancipation Day, brought to you by the Republican Party Yesterday, I attended a 150th anniversary ceremony in honor of the DC Emancipation Act. The event was held at Abraham Lincoln’s summer cottage. The quartet Just Righteous inspired with A Change Is Gonna Come and other classic songs. Frank Williams discussed President Lincoln’s views on the DC Emancipation Act. Harold Holzer spoke about media reaction. Edna Greene Medford recounted the city’s response to the law. While the speakers were informative, all three over-emphasized Lincoln’s role and managed to avoid mentioning an important political … Continue reading DC Emancipation Day, brought to you by the Republican Party

Voter ID Laws: Racist or Reasonable?

April 13, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

Both the Left and Right have expressed concern over potential abuse in America’s current voting process. But as the rhetoric flies, what are the facts? And is the Department of Justice heeding all concerns? By Brandon Darby (This piece is an abbreviated version of Brandon Darby’s original printed piece that was featured in Townhall Magazine’s March 2012 issue) There’s been much said lately about election integrity and voter identification laws. Both sides of the American political spectrum have raised concerns over polls and potential abuses in the American voting process. In fact, due to the serious voter registration irregularities identified … Continue reading Voter ID Laws: Racist or Reasonable?

George Zimmerman Arrested, Charged

April 13, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from today’s Front Page Magazine: George Zimmerman Arrested, Charged By Matthew Vadum After weeks of agitation by the activist Left, would-be vigilantes across America got their wish Wednesday as George Zimmerman was charged in Florida with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. “Three weeks ago our prosecution team promised those sweet parents [of Trayvon Martin] we would get answers to all of their questions, no matter where our quest for the truth led us,” special prosecutor Angela Corey told reporters in Jacksonville. “And it is that search for justice for Trayvon that has brought us … Continue reading George Zimmerman Arrested, Charged

Leftist spring training is ACORN-approved

April 11, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

Admitted communist Van Jones is working with various leftist groups “to train over 100,000 young people to engage in acts of massive civil disobedience throughout the country,” Ron Radosh writes in a great op-ed on PJM called The Organized Left’s Spring Surprise: Revealed on TV and in The Nation magazine. These radicals swear up and down that their activities will be nonviolent but they’re lying. With the Left there is no such thing as nonviolent protest. The goal is chaos. The Left wants to stir things up so violently that it leads to a radical transformation of America. God help us if … Continue reading Leftist spring training is ACORN-approved

Santa Monica Students Say Pepper Spraying a PR Victory

April 8, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from the April 5 Front Page Magazine: Santa Monica Students Say Pepper Spraying a PR Victory By Matthew Vadum Santa Monica College students angry about tuition increases may have successfully tricked campus police into advancing their cause on Tuesday. Apparently unaware of California’s continuing descent into the fiscal abyss, students showed up in force at a college trustees’ meeting to protest a planned 300 percent increase in tuition for core courses. The college says the dramatic price hikes are necessary because state funding for higher education is drying up as California’s spendthrift public officials continue to lavish taxpayer-funded benefits … Continue reading Santa Monica Students Say Pepper Spraying a PR Victory

Leftist War Chest on the Verge of Collapse?

April 8, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from the April 3 Front Page Magazine: Leftist War Chest on the Verge of Collapse? By Matthew Vadum A serious internal schism has developed that threatens to destroy the Democracy Alliance, George Soros’s financial clearinghouse that funds groups and projects aimed at turning America into a European-style socialist state. The preeminent funder of the Left in the United States, Soros favors American decline and has said that European-style socialism “is exactly what we need now.” The radical, anti-American philanthropist praises Red China effusively, saying the totalitarian nation has “a better-functioning government than the United States.” The conflict within Soros’s … Continue reading Leftist War Chest on the Verge of Collapse?

March Mob Madness

April 8, 2012September 8, 2015 Matthew Vadum

My article from the March 29 Front Page Magazine: March Mob Madness By Matthew Vadum Egged on by professional racial arsonists, virtual lynch mobs have formed across the nation hell-bent on meting out mob justice to the man who shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. Sanford police chief Bill Lee, who handed the investigation over to the state, the Justice Department, the FBI and a special prosecutor, has received death threats. Although police insist there is insufficient evidence to arrest shooter George Zimmerman who says he shot Martin in self-defense, calls for Zimmerman’s arrest continue to grow. Demanding “an … Continue reading March Mob Madness
