By Matt Lewis - Politics Daily

One of the most controversial Hollywood films last year was "Milk". It was praised by liberals and gay-rights supporters -- and simultaneously labeled leftist propaganda by many conservatives.Personally, I am opposed to the brand of liberal politics espoused by Harvey Milk, but I also recognize that his career (and tragic assassination) marked an important milestone in American history. Mr. Milk's biography is a compelling story, so he was indeed a legitimate subject for a feature film. In truth, despite Hollywood's liberal bent, conservative messages do manage to occasionally get out. For ...

Atlas Embraced: Why Libertarianism is Back!

By Matt Lewis - Politics Daily

Ever since Barack Obama started seizing companies -- and pushing his pseudo-fascist notion of "national service" -- I've noted some subtle changes bubbling up from deep within the conservative movement. The change is: Who is John Galt?... Perhaps you've noticed the trend, too? Your Facebook page may now list you as "Libertarian" or "classical liberal," instead of "very conservative." If that's the case, you know exactly what I mean. If not, read on... BACK IN THE 1990's -- before anyone knew the names George W. Bush or Barack Obama -- being a young conservative was a lot more fun. It was easy ...
