John Tamny of Forbes calls America-denouncing billionaire an "American hero" - 05/22/12
... country comes from John Tamny of Forbes. On May 13, he offered "For De-Friending The U.S., Facebook's Eduardo Saverin Is An American Hero" [1]
As is well known now, Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin recently renounced his U.S. citizenship. Though no specific reason was given by Saverin for his decision, wise minds could very credibly proclaim him an American hero for doing what he did.
Indeed...
Fiscal conservatives side with America-denouncing billionaire (Cato, Dan Mitchell, Heritage, Brownfield, Sean Medlock, Daily Caller, HotAir) - 05/11/12
... Doug Bandow of Cato weighs in at Forbes ( peekURL.com/zRCq58z ). Like other libertarians, he claims that it's we Americans who owe Saverin rather than the other way around. He also includes this:
Being an American is a wonderful thing. But that is because what America is, or, at least, is supposed to be: the proverbial land of the free and home of the brave, which protects life, liberty, and...
Shikha Dalmia misleads again, promotes anti-American DREAM Act - 09/23/10
Shikha Dalmia of Forbes and Reason Magazine is misleading about immigration yet again, this time about the anti-American DREAM Act ("DA"). That bill was recently blocked in the Senate, but if passed it would have allowed those current illegal aliens covered by it to take college educations away from U.S. citizens. Needless to say, Dalmia strongly supports that anti-American bill and is willing to...
Shikha Dalmia still not credible on immigration (Part 2) - 04/28/10
Shikha Dalmia of Forbes shows once again why she isn't a trustworthy source, this time by offering "Arizona's Un-American Immigration Law" [1]. (Note: see the last link for our recent extensive coverage of that law).
In the latest, she complains about the AZ law "represent[ing] the conservative agenda to install a European-style surveillance state", something that is obviously false. However, the...
Why Shikha Dalmia isn't credible on immigration (Part 1?) - 04/07/10
At Forbes, Shikha Dalmia of Reason Magazine offers "Obama Can't Handle Immigration Reform/The leading proposal will curtail liberties without making life better for immigrants" [1]. The article shows yet again why she isn't a credible source on this issue, at least for patriotic Americans. Those who put libertarian ideology or corporate profits ahead of the interests of U.S. citizens are quite...
Census worker found hanged in Kentucky; see who's politicizing it - 09/24/09
... of True Slant (co-founded by Forbes) offers "Send the body to Glenn Beck" (link). I don't need to provide an excerpt.
* Andrew Sullivan of The Atlantic says (andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/hanging-from-a-tree-in-kentucky.html): "From this profile of the cancer survivor and volunteer, it appears suicide is unlikely. We'll find out. But at some point, unhinged hostility to...
Joel Kotkin grossly misleads about California's problems - 07/07/09
At Forbes, Joel Kotkin offers "Who Killed California's Economy? /There are five suspects, from the governor to the constituents themselves" (link).
I left the comment below. More could be said about the gross dishonesty he exhibits in the article, and I suggest going there and leaving a comment (quick, free registration required).

World Economic Forum (Davos) pushing global governance, global TV, Law of Sea Treaty - 01/27/09
The World Economic Forum will be meeting in Davos starting on the 28th, and see this for all the details on one of their key documents as well as the media sources that haven't disclosed the fact that they're sponsors as well as much, much more. Here's a snippet:
"The Global Agenda 2009" report says that "sovereign states do not adequately address problems reaching across borders" and that "...
