The Blaze Magazines

The United States continues to face serious problems in our economy, job market and our national security. We're sitting on top of incredible oil fields that could answer many of those questions—just look at what North Dakota is experiencing today.

But our government won't get out of the way. Why?

Plus, take a look at the life of an Israeli warrior that reveals what Israeli independence cost and what it took to ward off an enemy determined to exterminate a nation.

American journalists and the rest of the American Left have made assaulting and demeaning Christianity a daily ritual.

But they’ve chosen to embrace Islam and defend it to the hilt against any perceived form of defamation—even when the criticisms are of radical Islamists who seek to destroy the West. Why?

Plus, the gun-control crowd is resorting to extortion. The Left is using the media, exploiting tragedy, strong-arming banks, intimidating businesses and spending taxpayer money to subvert the Second Amendment

The Left fears him.

The media hate him.

The nation needs him.

In an exclusive interview with TheBlaze, gun-owning rocker and patriot Ted Nugent explains what makes him tick, where our rights are headed and how we fix America’s woes.

Unlike his millions of fans, America’s political Left doesn’t call Ted Nugent the Motor City Madman for his music: The bombastic rocker’s conservative political views are as amped as his Gibson guitars.

Plus, a look at how conservatism has become the new counterculture—but without all the bad habits of the left-wing hippies of the 1960s and wannabe rebels in the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Are we now a people with government-granted rather than God-given rights?

A decorated Marine is handcuffed and faces forced confinement for psychiatric evaluation—all without ever being charged with anything—because of private Facebook postings. A city in Arizona spends nearly $2 million on a new police station but won't tell citizens where the facility is located. The TSA is groping senior citizens, cancer patients and little girls.

What's going in America?

In a country where many don't recognize that our rights come from God and not from government, it's not surprising to see those rights given up willingly under the guise of "national security."

The state of the Second Amendment grows more tenuous.

For decades, the anti-gun crowd has sought to weaken law-abiding American citizens' constitutional right to bear arms. From presidential candidates whom many don't trust on gun rights to the Fast and Furious scandal to the multiple exploitations of tragedies to legislation making gun ownership more difficult to lies that gun control actually reduces crime, it has become clear why gun owners have become increasingly concerned about their rights.

George Mason warned during Virginia's convention to ratify the Constitution in 1788 that "to disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." We cannot give up in this never-ending battle.

This election will permanently and drastically impact the future of our nation. It's time Americans fully understood the issues that are on the line - from the border to the Supreme Court, the economy to Israel and the Middle East, ObamaCare to the First Amendment, and everything in between.
For years, the Right has complained about the continuing growth of the state. But the size of government isn't our only concern; we're also up against radicalism that has spread across America.
It's not too late to fix the problems - yet. This exclusive series of reports offers a look at what's at stake this year, what the two candidates are offering as solutions and where America's future lies.

Many conservative Americans have long advocated getting the government out of our charities. But until those of use who believe in private charity step up, the bureaucracy will never step way. In a powerful cover feature for the July/August issue of The Blaze magazine, "America in Action," readers will find powerful stories and ideas that can inspire a nation of good people to put their beliefs into practice.

The special ball for students with disabilities; the churches served the public schools in a unique way; the disaster relief provided by everyday Americans for everyday Americans; the left-wing radical who's Right-turn is changing lives—these stories are who we are. We can preach private charity all real love all we want, but until it's put into practice, the world won't believe we believe it.

The U.S. military is under a domestic attack—from the administration, American citizens and Islamist groups. Our troops are taking fire from the home front: The Obama administration isn't a fan; too many liberal progressives want to see them decimated; and Muslim radicals are striking against them on American soil. Who has their best interests in mind if the government doesn't?

In a powerful piece for the June issue of The Blaze magazine, "Taking Fire From the Home Front," we take a look at what our men and women in our Armed Forces are up against—from their own country. How can we protect them from not only those who openly hate them, but also from those who are supposed to love it, support it and lead it?

And don't miss our special report on Occupy Wall Street. Turns out that the activists "occupying" everything and touting the benefits of socialism and communism aren't new, FDR had to face a movement that embraced the efforts of the Soviet Union—and backed Hitler's Germany.

The existential threat the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood poses to the United States and the rest of the West cannot be ignored by anyone who's paying attention. Their agenda has been well-documented by many sources, including The Blaze, so surely Americans are aware of the threat, and no one who has prospered from the American capitalist system and representative form of government would do anything to aid the Brotherhood, right?

In an exclusive report for the May issue of The Blaze magazine, we expose the underreported close ties between billionaire investor and liberal financier George Soros has with the Muslim Brotherhood. Turns out the left-wing sugar daddy is a fan of the radical movement that is seeking to take over Egypt and the rest of the Middle East, implement Shariah Law and establish a global caliphate.

Plus, a closer look at the green energy projects the Obama administration shows that it is nothing but a giant boondoggle. This "Great Green Swindle" is funneling taxpayer money to key Obama supporters for projects loved by anti-capitalist environmentalists.
