SA@Takimag – The Radical Right

It is no coincidence that some of the most interesting and promising developments on the Right today are not only coming from the grassroots, but are far removed from the Republican Party establishment. Just a few short months ago, the mainstream conservative movement huddled around figures like Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and later John McCain, [...]

Ron Paul: Neocons Backing Obama’s Foreign Policy

From The Raw Story:
In a little noticed editorial yesterday, Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul fired a shot across the bow of every progressive activist in the U.S., a great many of whom are supporters of President Barack Obama:
‘Some may notice that the neo-conservatives who masterminded the policy of global interventions are not complaining about the [...]

SA@Takimag – 911 Truths

If 9/11 “Truthers” are wacky for believing the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by the U.S. government, what about the conspiracy theorists who tried to convince Americans that 9/11 was orchestrated by Saddam Hussein?
For starters, the 9/11 Truth conspiracists have arguably more circumstantial evidence for their case than men like Stephen Hayes or Dick Cheney ever [...]

SA@Takimag – AIG Bonuses Are a Ruse
