'Hillary, McCain or Obama?'
 Malcolm Hedges (05/09/08)
What a miserable field of choices.
Those Were The Days
J. Grant Swank Jr. (05/09/08)
One of God's gifts is memory. That does not mean that all of our recallings are worth anything; but it does mean that we can choose to recall those mind-photos that are warm and friendly.
Hightower's New World
Accuracy In Media: Bethany Stotts (05/09/08)
As reported in an earlier Accuracy in Academia article, the famous populist Jim Hightower is attempting to inflame college students against the evil American corporations and restrictive consumerist expectations.
Worse Than Irrelevant
Gary Krasner (05/09/08)
There are times when I fail to see the importance or relevance of a hot topic. For example, I don't know why liberals are against "permanent bases" in Iraq? We have bases in several other Mideast nations. And if a free nation freely signs a treaty to have U.S. bases, why is that so terrible? And what's their definition of 'permanent'? Mine is 'forever'. So if it helps, I can assure them that we will not have bases there forever into the future. Problem solved?
100% Guarantee of Safe Sex
Kevin Roeten (05/09/08)
It’s been discovered. Nobody thought having “safe sex” was possible in every case. Each year 2.6 million teenagers become sexually active - a rate of 7000/day. With high school, nearly half report having engaged in sexual activity and 1/3 are currently active (Kim/Rector//Heritage Foundation).
'Government of the People or By the Faction?'
Frank Salvato (05/09/08)
Now comes news that George McGovern has called for Hillary Clinton to withdraw from the Democrat’s primary race. Pardon me for my raised eyebrow but how much of a fool would someone have to be to take campaign advice from the man who got slaughtered by Richard Nixon? Losing an election by a landslide really shouldn’t qualify someone to dispense political advice unless it’s how to deliver a concession speech without looking bitter.
Editorial: Comrade Senator McCain Is A Total Fake
Editor (05/08/08)
As I watch the O'Reilly Factor on FNC, I see an elitist mush-minded Senator McCain pretending he is should be President of the United States.
Our Progressive Congress At Work (or Is It At Play?)
Malcolm Hedges (05/08/08)
As the political showdown of November looms, the Congressional Progressives continue to battle the electorate?
Israel's Predicament at 60: World's worst neighbourhood
Daniel Pipes (05/08/08)
Two religiously-identified new states emerged from the shards of the British empire in the aftermath of World War II. Israel, of course, was one; the other was Pakistan.
Wikipedia Peddles Porn to Kids
Press Release: Matt Barber (05/08/08)
Washington, D.C. - It would be a tall order, but parents around the world may want to make every effort to keep their kids away from Wikipedia.com, the enormously popular, user-generated online encyclopedia. While doing homework, research for term papers, or for just plain fun, millions of kids visit Wikipedia every day. That’s why parents may be alarmed to learn that, as recently exposed by WorldNetDaily.com, Wikipedia features hundreds, if not thousands, of hardcore pornographic images and online sex videos, making them easily accessible to children.
Oil Prices Require Construction Congress, Not Congressional Accusations
Paul M. Weyrich (05/08/08)
Last week President George W. Bush held a press conference on the current state of the economy and the high cost of energy. In it he made several important points. First, he noted that one reason gas prices are increasing is that global supply has not kept pace with the growing demand worldwide. Members of Congress, he noted, "have been vocal about foreign governments increasing their oil production; yet Congress has been just as vocal in opposition to efforts to expand our production here at home. They repeatedly blocked environmentally safe exploration in ANWR. The Department of Energy estimates that ANWR could allow America to produce about a million additional barrels of oil every day, which translates to about 27 millions of gallons of gasoline and diesel every day. That would be about a 20% increase of oil...and it would likely mean lower gas prices."

The Unreal Ronald Kessler
Accuracy In Media: M. Stanton Evans (05/08/08)
Like many other critics of Joe McCarthy, Ronald Kessler would be more persuasive if he knew something of the subject.
San Fran Chronicle Spreads False Immigration Raids Story
Warner Todd Huston (05/08/08)
The San Francisco Chronicle and the various demagog politicians of Berkeley and Oakland, California should really be ashamed of themselves for ginning up into sensational "raids"(1) a few arrests by ICE agents and making of them actions designed to empty those community's schools of children. In reality a few routine U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in those cities occurred yesterday that had nothing to do with school children. Yet, these politicians shamelessly ran about the countryside waving their arms, serving grave warnings to ICE about their supposed targeting of school children, and ginning up parents with the false bravado of standing athwart ICE's "harassment and fear." But, with all the running about like Chicken Little claiming the ICE is falling, no raids either occurred or were even planned. To top it off, the San Francisco Chronicle reports the incident as the "fear across the communities" being "real" instead of correctly noting that these pandering pols in office made much ado about nothing just to inflate their own importance.
Tribune Covers for Obama's Terrorist Friends
Cliff Kincaid (05/08/08)
The Chicago Tribune, which once employed Barack Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod, is refusing to publish the truth about a Weather Underground terrorist bombing that killed a policeman. The paper apparently does not want to tarnish the image of Obama friends Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who were allegedly part of or had direct knowledge of the bombing plot that also injured several other police officers. The Tribune considers Ayers an education expert and has published various articles by him.
An AD Editorial on Energy and Such Stuff
Editor (05/07/08)
Congress and Progressives of all flavors are letting the American public know that they don't give a crap about the "electorate".
'The Republicrats and RNC Continue Whine About Lack Of Support?'
Malcolm Hedges (05/07/08)
If they would get their "candidate" to be a Republican and act like "Republicans" the whole story would change.
Polar Bear Scare Could Maul Energy Production
OffSite (05/07/08)
Global warming alarmists, news media portray arctic beasts as victims and spokesbears, but protecting their thriving population means greatly increased federal power to control our lives.
NC NBCer: 'Smart' Not Bothered by Wright, But Conservatives...
OffSite (05/07/08)
On the syndicated Chris Matthews Show, Kim Genardo, a political reporter for NBC's Raleigh, North Carolina affiliate, WNCN-TV channel 17, divided North Carolinians into two categories -- those who are "smart" and those who are "conservative" -- as she predicted that "smart, educated" primary voters won't be swayed by Jeremiah Wright but was unsure how "conservative, white, rural voters" would vote as she admitted she's not "in touch with them.
A More Perfect Union Rests on a Balance of Ideas
Nancy Salvato (05/07/08)
"In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." - James Madison, Federalist #51
Democrat Presidential Hopefuls Admit They'll Try to Con Americans
Liberals Really Were Spying for the Soviets
"The official thermometers at the U.S. National Climate Data Center show a slight global cooling trend over the
last seven years, from 1998 to 2005."
Ben Stein's Dangerous Idea
Robert E. Meyer (05/07/08)
Ben Stein has a dangerous idea. His idea is that professors and teachers who express skepticism about Darwinism are likely to find themselves not granted tenure, castigated and ridiculed, and disqualified from the opportunity to have research papers published.
CBS Slights Limbaugh any Credit for 'Operation Chaos,' Also Talk of Riots With Obama Loss
Warner Todd Huston (05/07/08)
It's amusing how far some people will go not to give someone credit for something they have done especially if that deserving someone happens to be an ostensible political enemy. In this case we find CBS discussing Republican crossover voters in these primaries, the network newser telling us how crossovers will "skew primary results," and then they tell us who is responsible for egging on these crossovers. Now, for those of you in the know, you'd automatically assume that CBS is talking about radio host Rush Limbaugh who has been carrying on his "operation chaos" program to encourage Republican voters to re-register as Dems to vote for Hillary, right?
Obama Hitches his Wagon to the Radical Feminist Agenda
Carey Roberts (05/06/08)
Barack Obama has a habit of hanging out with flamethrowers who espouse radical causes. There's Obama's long-time associate, former Weatherman William Ayers, who once boasted, "I don’t regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough."
The Worth of a Picture ID for Honest Voting
Paul M. Weyrich (05/06/08)
Is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) ever on the right side of any issue? On one issue out of a bundle we might find ourselves in agreement. As for most, forget it.
Crossing the Border: Education or Robbery
Lee Culpepper (05/06/08)
Unassisted this year by a media blitz, the May-1st-amnesty marches for illegal aliens limped along American streets. In previous years, the media hype surrounding this issue commanded the nation's attention. When I taught in Texas, my students found the demonstrations more urgent than their novel The Great Gatsby.
Economic Equality: The Cancer that Killed Freedom
JB Williams (05/06/08)
For more than 200 years, America reigned as the worlds most productive, prosperous, powerful and generous nation on earth. Like all nations, America is nothing more or less than the sum of its people and their belief system.
Communists, the Media, and the Democratic Party
Cliff Kincaid (05/06/08)
Tom Hayden, who cheered for a communist military victory in Vietnam, is calling attention to Senator Hillary Clinton's old ties to communists. But Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein, formerly of the Washington Post, wonders if Hillary's comments on Senator Barack Obama's ties to communist terrorist Bill Ayers constitute McCarthyism.
'Is There A 'New Media' or A New MSM?'
Editor (05/05/08)
I am beginning to wonder. A significant portion of the 'New Media' is starting to look like it is totally profit oriented.
'Maybe The Elistists In Congress Are Starting To Worry?'
Malcolm Hedges (05/05/08)
As food prices spiral out of control some members of Congress are actually mumbling about the 'ethanol hoax' and looking for some sort of escape.
Nakba Crapka...
Gerald A. Honigman (05/05/08)
Honigman... How can you be so insensitive!!!??? Perhaps the following will help explain...
Is Hard Work 'Asian Values,' No Longer American Values? Hardly!
Warner Todd Huston (05/05/08)
I always find it amazing when writers in the mainstream press seem to have so little knowledge of America and its history. Of course, I suppose that being blissfully ignorant of US history does help paper over their betrayal, substituting the feeling that they can maintain allegiance to American "ideals" as they attempt to advocate for the sort of socialist/communist vision that they want America to become, quite despite its true character and principles. Heck, if you don't know you are betraying your own country, you can't be ashamed of yourself for it, right? In any case, here we have another prime example of such a betrayal by The New York Times' Thomas Friedman from his May 4 piece(1) where he has decided that America is finished, done, kaput. And guess what? It's all George W. Bush's fault -- shocking, I know.
Oprah Shifts to the Dark Side
Guest Author: Marsha West (05/05/08)
Notorious New Ager George Lucas’s wildly popular Star Wars movies abound with occult themes. In Return of the Jedi, dissident Jedi warrior Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side of the Force and became the evil Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. Likewise, Oprah Winfrey has fully shifted to the dark side and is a full-fledged New Age spiritual leader and occultist. Make no mistake about it: as with Vader, Oprah is fully aware that she has made The Shift.
Reality Bites
Geoff Metcalf (05/05/08)
"Never, never, never, never give up." --Winston Churchill Hubris is a Greek word for excessive insolent pride. Once upon a time it described the epic (albeit usually earned) arrogance of warrior kings and battle tested Generals. Leonides of Sparta who stood with his 300 against the vastness of Xerxes Persian army at Thermopylae, Ulysses, Odysseus, and Agamemnon were all men of monumental egos. However, unlike contemporary trash talkers, they walked the walk along with talking the talk.
'Is It Time For The USA To Abandon The Two Party System?'
Malcolm Hedges (05/04/08)
Most all the systems have been mangled to discourage of not actually impede more than two political parties.
I Still Don't Believe Obama
Aaron Goldstein (05/04/08)
When the now infamous Reverend Jeremiah Wright video surfaced in March, I found myself unable to believe Barack Obama. (1). I found it hard to believe that Barack Obama had never heard Reverend Wright utter a negative word about America. I found it hard to believe that Barack Obama would title one of his autobiographies from one of Reverend Wright’s sermons and then not know what he actually preached.
Forecasting Hurricanes. Not!
Alan Caruba (05/04/08)
In late April, AccuWeather.com, led by Joe Bastardi, its chief meteorologist, issued a news release that was, to be kind, pure mush. The early warning forecast for 2008’s June to November hurricane season said that conditions like La Nina and a "continued warm water cycle in the Atlantic Basin" held forth the "chance for U.S. landfalling storms."
'Conservative' Christian's 'Manifesto' Has Few Conservatives Involved
Warner Todd Huston (05/04/08)
On May 2, the Associated Press(1) uncritically reported that an effort to clarify where "evangelicals" stand in the culture/political war in America is soon to be released. It is to be called "An Evangelical Manifesto" and is touted by the AP as a statement by "evangelicals" that "faith is now too political." That isn't all. The AP is claiming that it isn't just Christian leaders in general that are saying this but that it is "conservative Christian leaders" who are standing up and denouncing politics in religion. But a little investigation proves that "conservative leaders" is not a very good description of those who have signed onto this "manifesto." In fact, many of the most well-known conservative Christian leaders in the country have decided not to sign onto the "manifesto" and many more weren't even consulted or included in the creation of this highly political document that pretends it stands against politics.
Congress set to transform America to Socialism
Henry Lamb (05/04/08)
The classic definition of socialism is: government control of the sources of production. A bill now before Congress, HR2421, will give the federal government absolute control over all sources of production. This bill, if enacted, will instantly convert the United States into a socialist nation.
More Than Energy in the Wind
Thomas D. Segel (05/04/08)
Harlingen, Texas, May 3, 2008: A renewable source of energy that requires no coal, gas or oil, has no waste product and creates no greenhouse gases would seem to be the magical solution everyone is seeking. As gasoline tops $4.00 a gallon in many regions, Americans are screaming for a solution to the national attack on family budgets. With almost uncountable restrictive federal regulations, most of our available resources remain untapped. These same politically oriented restrictions have even stopped the construction of new refineries. In fact, the only resource our left-leaning Political Kings and their Environmental Jesters have not managed to completely regulate is the wind.
Meet the Anti-Candidates Nobody's FOR Them!
JB Williams (05/04/08)
No matter which candidates campaign speech you attend, you will hear only how they oppose the positions of the other two candidates. You will hear very little about why you should support them, only why you should not support the others. That’s because there is little reason to vote for any of them.
The Ultimate Fairness Doctrine
Malcolm Hedges (05/03/08)
The Demercrats, Progressives and Socialists are bound and determined to create a new "fairness doctrine" to try to quash freedom of information on radio. There is no reason to attack the other MSM media because it's already controlled by Socialists. As our laws exist, they have every right to be Socialists and promote Socialism, however we have every right to refuse to support their efforts.
Senate to Vote on Obama-U.N. Global Tax Scheme
Press Release: Jeff Mazzella (05/03/08)
The United States Senate may vote any day on the stealth imposition of what could amount to an $845 BILLION United Nations style global tax on American citizens?
There's A Hole In The Bucket!
Guest Author: J.J. Jackson (05/03/08)
Perhaps as a child you once sang a fun little ditty about a hapless man, named Henry, and his beloved, named Liza. See, this song is about a problem Henry has. His bucket has a hole in it so it is pretty much useless. But instead of handling the problem himself, he runs to ask Liza what he should do.
Using "Human Rights" to better serve a dictatorship
Guest Author: Mohammad Parvin (05/03/08)
The founders of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) made a fundamental mistake when they established an organization to lobby for the Islamic Regime of Iran (IRI). In order to be able to promote a friendship with a terrorist regime, NIAC had not only to be silent about the human rights violations in Iran but to undermine its validity. When questioned on the human rights issue, NIAC has always placed the blame on U.S. pressure and has lectured that recognition of the IRI would improve the human rights issue in Iran. Due to this strategy, they have never condemned the human rights violations in Iran. Currently, not a single trace of the term "human rights" can be detected in their goals and mandates.
Illegal Aliens: Hillary's Flip-Flops Border on Insanity
Jim Kouri CPP (05/03/08)
Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton finally agreed to appear on the highly-rated Fox News show The O'Reilly Factor. Her interview, which was taped earlier this week while she was campaigning in South Bend, Indiana, was broadcast on The Factor over two consecutive nights.
