Finally a movie comes along that sticks it to the ruling class that is deliberately and maliciously driving America into the ground. The message of the movie adaptation of Ayn Rand’s 1,200-page opus, Atlas Shrugged, is that the productive should be able to go about their business without being hindered by the nonproductive and the anti-productive mischief makers of government. It is a celebration of the many virtues of capitalism, a topic I editorialized about previously at NewsReal. And it turns out it’s surprisingly good! I saw the movie Wednesday at a special advance screening kindly provided by the Washington, … Continue reading It’s time to go Galt: Atlas Shrugged movie is a winner

On his TV show non-comedian Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a “twat,” Hollie McKay of FoxNews.com reports. Of course the National Organization for Women (NOW) was nowhere to be found. NOW only defends women it agrees with. (I profiled NOW here.) FoxNews.com quotes me on the subject: Matthew Vadum, Senior Editor at the Capital Research Center in Washington DC, said Maher’s insults spotlight hypocrisy in the media.“Bill Maher feels he can get away with such jaw-droppingly offensive verbal attacks on Sarah Palin because virtually the entire media-academia-entertainment complex agrees with him,” Vadum said. “Clinging to their political correctness and disdain … Continue reading Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin a “twat”

Although ACORN is in the process of being dissolved in bankruptcy court, the notorious group continues to deduct membership dues from the bank account of Kerry Sheldon of Delaware. The article at FoxNews.com quotes me: Matthew Vadum … said historically ACORN has made it difficult for people to quit their memberships. “People decide they don’t want to be members anymore, but the membership deductions kept going,” he told FoxNews.com. “The question is if they did it intentionally or if it was an honest mistake,” he added. Sheldon said that she made contact with the former ACORN employee who set up her … Continue reading Even in bankruptcy, ACORN is still scamming its members

Another day, another leftist lie. This time it is an attack on the financial system that left-wing policies crippled over time. The lie is that bankers are conspiring against innocent people and having them rounded up and put in jail. It is complete and utter hogwash motivated by an abiding hostility toward markets. Unfortunately, from time to time conservatives need to be reminded that apart from its op-ed pages the Wall Street Journal is not a conservative newspaper. Not even close. Take this drivel by Jessica Silver-Greenberg whose virtually fact-free hit piece suggests that debtors’ prisons have returned to America. … Continue reading Wall Street Journal pushes lie that debtors’ prisons have returned to America

A few days ago Front Page Magazine published an article of mine called The Left’s Assault on Democracy in Wisconsin. Here are the top paragraphs: Leftist radicals don’t believe in democracy in the way the term is used in America. If they win, it’s democracy in action, a noble rendering of the wise judgment of the people. If they lose, democracy has been undermined and usually some cabal of corporate villains in a smoke-filled backroom somewhere is to blame for the injustice.  The union goons and paid protesters wreaking havoc in Madison, Wisconsin believe in the radical left-wing un-American conception of … Continue reading The Left’s Assault on Democracy in Wisconsin

Congratulations to James O’Keefe and Veritas Visuals on another job well done. O’Keefe, who along with Hannah Giles slew ACORN in 2009, has generated another uproar at the conduct of the left. O’Keefe’s latest video shows a then-NPR executive spewing the most uninformed, bigoted views about the Tea Party and middle America. I associate myself with the comments Rush Limbaugh made today about the NPR sting: Continue reading Congratulations to James O’Keefe III for another successful video expose!

I have a piece at Front Page Magazine today called The Great Fraud: Public Sector Bargaining Rights. Continue reading The Great Fraud: Public Sector Bargaining Rights

Apparently Media Matters for America thought I said something scandalous or ridicule-worthy at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) here in Washington, D.C., last month. Here’s is a short video from the panel on the activist left:   Another video was shot by two Media Matters videographers who posed as young conservatives. They interviewed me in hopes I would say something nasty about Glenn Beck. Here’s the video (the blog post they wrote is here): Continue reading Media Matters Videotapes Vadum at CPAC 2011

According to Nexis (no link available) I was the guest who introduced Glenn Beck to the Cloward-Piven Strategy on his TV show almost two years ago. The show was aired on May 13, 2009. Here are the video clips: And according to the left-wing Media Matters for America, on the same show I was also the guest who introduced Beck to the shadowy, radical Tides Foundation. Continue reading When Vadum educated Glenn Beck about the Cloward-Piven Strategy and the Tides Foundation
