Ready for a morning chuckle to jump-start your day? Pay a visit to Hillary Clinton’s website that claims with a straight face, “Women still earn significantly less money than men for doing the same jobs.”(1)
The Jolly Green Giant's Senate Testimony
Guest Author: Daniel Clark (05/15/08)
Sen. John KERRY: Mister Giant, you are an obscenely wealthy man. Some would even say you haven't legitimately earned this obscene wealth of yours. How do you respond to those criticisms?
University Building Plan Increases State Debt 16 Percent
Goldwater Institute: Byron Schlomach (05/15/08)
Late night infomercials introduce consumers to great deals they can't possibly pass up. "For only $19.99, you can get this incredible Ginsu knife. But if you call now, you get two, and this special bonus gift, for no extra charge!" Most of us pass up these deals because we recognize that they are too good to be true. An idea the legislature is considering to borrow money for new buildings is like that.
Read a Book, Get Charged with Racial Harassment
Selwyn Duke (05/15/08)
The May 9 edition of the New York Post carries a short article by an Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis student named Keith John Sampson. He tells a story of being charged with "racial harassment" simply because he was "caught" reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book.
Richard Viguerie: Republican Leaders Must Resign
Press Release: Richard A. Viguerie (05/15/08)
MANASSAS, Va., May 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Republican Party must have new leadership, or conservatives will continue to withhold support, and the Party will crash in flames in November, Richard A.

It's Time For Humans To Be Added To The Endangered Species List!
Malcolm Hedges (05/14/08)
Fish, birds, bugs, rodents and Polar Bears are now officially considered to be equal to or more important than humans?
'Are Black Americans Monolithic?'
Guest Author: Nina May (05/14/08)
Democrats want everyone to think that blacks are monolithic. Take, for example, that little statistic of the voting habits of black Americans. It ranges anywhere from 90% to 96% of the vote going to the Democratic candidate, depending upon the race, the region of the country and the contest. One small detail is missing though . . . less than 30% of blacks even vote. So if you take 90% of 29%, you will get about 26% or about one quarter of the black population that actually votes for the Democratic candidate.
Unfriendly Fire From Left
Accuracy In Media: Malcolm A. Kline (05/14/08)
In World War II and even into the Cold War, academics, journalists and politicians tempered their criticism of American foreign policy with a concern for U. S. troops serving in harms way. Sixty years later, men and women in U. S. military combat fatigues can count on no such sympathy from American elites.

Toledo Free Press Article Gets University Employee Fired
Warner Todd Huston (05/14/08)
We are certainly used to seeing the MSM causing trouble for conservatives and this one is no different at least on that level. But the interesting thing here is that the trouble a social conservative discovered was as a result of what she wrote in the MSM as opposed to what was written about her by the MSM. It seems that the opinion editorial written by Crystal Dixon(1) for the Toledo Free Press got her fired by the University of Toledo(2) because... well, you know how universities are all about free expression and speech, right? Unfortunately for Dixon, though, hers wasn't the proper, politically correct sort of speech that is officially approved of by the thugs at the University of Toledo.
Obama's Excremental Economics
Tom Brewton (05/14/08)
As prolongation of the 1930s Depression and stagflation in the 1970s demonstrated, Senator Obama's announced policies are a prescription for economic disaster.
Civil Wrongs in the Name of Civil Rights
Guest Author: Matt Barber (05/14/08)

The more the Progressive Left message gets out, more people will realize how stupid they are.
Tithe: Salvation is Not by Math
J. Grant Swank Jr. (05/13/08)
His salvation was wrapped up in his faithful tithing. His salvation, basically, was math. If he tithed consistently, he kept his math sheet an A+.
'The Train Wreck Called Obama - The Great Uniter?'
JB Williams (05/13/08)
How did a freshman nobody senator from Chicago, with little more on his résumé than a 20 year membership in an anti-American church of racism, derail the Clinton juggernaut to become the undeniable front-runner for the Democrat Party Presidential nomination?
Teach Your Kid How to Sense BS
Guest Author: Doug Giles (05/13/08)
"One of the most salient features of our culture is there is so much bull----." Harry G. Frankfurt, Princeton philosophy professor How many of you have met the book smart 4.0 magna cum laude lady who, in regard to street smarts, is a magna dumb loopy chick? What about the poor honey who is neither book nor street smart? What a shame, eh? My goal for my girls is for them to own the twain. My wife and I push our daughters to academic excellence; we insist that they strain their brains so they won't sound like Paris Hilton when they open their mouths.
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."
Nonsense 'Survey' Says Americans 'Struggling in Life'
Warner Todd Huston (05/13/08)
How about I ask you if you "feel" like you make enough money each year? Let's say you make $48,000 a year, OK? (That's the median household income in the US) You'll likely tell me, then that you "feel" you need more. Now, from this, can I conclude that you are "struggling in life" as a citizen of the USA? Not if you use actual data instead of "feelings" to determine what "struggling" means and not if you then try to add context to what we all have compared to what others in the world have, of course. But, this is exactly the sort of nonsensical "survey" that Reuters gravely warned us about this week. Without bothering with any statistics or context, Reuters excitedly reported that "Many Americans struggling in life, survey finds"(1), and decided that everyone is downtrodden and filled with "suffering" in the United States today.
'Is Obama Smarter Than a 5th Grade Jaywalker?'
Doug Patton (05/13/08)
Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has an indicted, Syrian-born Chicago shyster named Tony Rezko for a financial mentor. He has a screwball, race-baiting, America-hating pastor named Jeremiah Wright for a spiritual mentor. He has an unrepentant domestic terrorist named William Ayers for a political mentor. And he has one of the angriest wives ever to aspire to the position of First Lady.
THE NEXT CONSERVATISM To Be Published
Paul M. Weyrich (05/13/08)
I came to Washington 42 years ago. At the time liberalism was riding high. Senator Barry M. Goldwater had suffered a humiliating defeat. Democrats got commanding margins in both Houses of Congress. The media was overwhelmingly liberal. There were very few op-ed conservative writers. There was no talk radio as we know it today. Those of us who worked in the Congress didn’t even call ourselves conservatives that brand had been so disgraced.
Fish vs. Men in the Supreme Court
Ayn Rand Institute: Thomas Bowden (05/13/08)
Irvine, CA--Forty percent of America's energy comes from 550 electric power plants whose massive turbines and reactor cores are cooled with billions of gallons of water from nearby rivers, lakes, bays, and oceans.

Editor (05/12/08)
Hillary and Obama have made no bones about the fact. McCain is just faking.
'Senator McCain Holds A Press Conference To Proclaim His Stupidity?'
Malcolm Hedges (05/12/08)
For a lot of people it was a waste of air time, but he did it anyway.
McCain and the La Raza card
OffSite (05/12/08)
The news this week that John McCain will attend the national convention of La Raza is beyond disturbing.
Slaves to the Welfare State
Tom Brewton (05/12/08)
New Orleanians born and bred in the welfare-state seem honestly believe that they are not required to do anything to help themselves.
A Better Nuclear Mouse Trap
Geoff Metcalf (05/12/08)
Excessive courtesy must contain deceit. --Chinese proverb. Israel has reiterated (for the umpteenth time) they will not tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran.
The Golden Age of Islam Extinguished
Guest Author: Aaron Velasquez (05/12/08)
During the Golden Age of Islam, Western Europe was experiencing the Dark Age. Arabs kept alight the flame of knowledge, rescuing Greek culture from obscurity and allowing it to reconnect with Europe as the Renaissance.
SPJ Suggests 'Omitting Race' in Crime Reporting
Warner Todd Huston (05/12/08)
The Society of Professional Journalists(1) has decided that it is best to leave a suspect's race out of crime reporting except for "extraordinary" reasons. Of course, to the SPJ, "good reporting" means race info in a story about crime isn't "useful to people in the community" even if the race of a suspect is part of a police report apparently. Despite their claim that they aren't toeing the PC line, their explanation is filled with just the sort of reasoning based on PC thinking -- one of which is that all whites are racists.
Anarchy Are Us
Malcolm Hedges (05/11/08)
At a couple of points in time, there was a Democratic Party. Other than those elusive windows, it has been the Anarchist Democrat Fascist Socialist Progressive Party.
'Who Cares?'
J. Grant Swank Jr. (05/11/08)
Children squealed with delight. Senior citizens gingerly stepped over one slippery rock after another. Teens splashed about as if they owned the place. It was a hoot!
Questioning Pagan Gospel
Tom Brewton (05/11/08)
A few things for the high priests of environmental paganism to ponder when they next forgather to worship their own egos.
Jews can't vote for Obama and be pro-Israel at the same time
OffSite (05/11/08)
In the poll of Jewish voters (conducted April 1-30), it showed Obama getting 61% of the Jewish vote against John McCain (32%). Yet in the same poll Hillary Clinton beat Obama among Jewish voters 62% - 38%. So obviously Jews are lifelong democrats who would vote for Obama, whom they rejected in the primaries, rather than vote for McCain. Thus, for them, party loyalty is preferable to Israel loyalty.
'Must We Suffer Global Famine Again?'
Guest Author: Dennis T. Avery (05/11/08)
Do today’s soaring food prices and Third World food riots mean we’re headed for global famine?
Sustainable Development: foe of freedom
Henry Lamb (05/11/08)
Add the word “sustainable” to almost any project, and immediately, the project becomes politically correct and therefore, acceptable. The surge of “sustainability” or “sustainable development” in recent years is phenomenal. Americans have been awed by the sales pitch and have bought into the idea of “sustainable development” - without looking under the hood to examine the engine. Nor have Americans realized that “sustainable development” is a self-directing vehicle that is transforming a once-free society into sustainable communities where nearly every human activity requires the permission of government.
History textbooks promoting Islam
OffSite (05/10/08)
History textbooks being used by hundreds of thousands of public school students across the U.S. are blatantly promoting Islam, according to a new report by an independent organization that researches and reviews textbooks.
The Art of Buying Politicians: The Facts about Institutional Campaign Funding
JB Williams (05/10/08)
The 2008 Presidential election promises to make history no matter who wins. It will cost more than $1 Billion dollars to fill a $400,000 a year job and not one of the three remaining candidates is qualified for that job. Now that’s a history making event worthy of comment!
Mainstream Press Protects ACLU Pervert...Instead of Children
Dave Gibson (05/10/08)
"Somewhere along the line, many Americans relegated the media to a notch on the morality scale only slightly above that of child molesters." - Gregory Kane, Baltimore Sun, 1997 On February 23, 2007, former president of the Virginia chapter of the ACLU Charles Rust-Tierney was arrested at his home in Arlington, Va. and charged with receiving and possessing child pornography. Rust-Tierney had been the target of an ongoing investigation conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency as well as the Arlington County Police. Despite the news worthiness of this story, the mainstream press has failed to cover it.
Monetary Reform: The Only Solution
Guest Author: Pat Carmack, Bill Still (05/10/08)
The U.S. economy is in serious trouble and no amount of monetary "stimulus" by the central bank -- or the federal government is going to fix the problem. The problem is that everything - even our money - is created out of debt. The truth of the matter is that without the National Debt, under our current system, America would have no money.
'McCain Talks Tough on Judges But Can He Be Trusted?'
Guest Author: Tom Fitton (05/10/08)
Senator John McCain gave a speech recently on the need to appoint judges that interpret laws rather than legislate from the bench. There was a lot to like about what he had to say on judicial activism. McCain said, "The moral authority of our judiciary depends on judicial self restraint," and railed against the "systematic abuse" by judges who push their liberal agendas through judicial fiat. He also took issue with "Senate obstructionism" practiced by liberals who are blocking the president's judicial nominees. The speech seems designed to help McCain firm up his conservative base.
Obama Agrees to PROTECT Union Corruption, not Eliminate it
Warner Todd Huston (05/10/08)
So, Barack Obama claims he is a reformer. He claims he wants to clean up Washington D.C. He acts as if he just wants the truth told to the people. Well, here is some truth. According to the Wall Street Journal(1) Barack has promised the Teamsters that if they give him their support he will kill the current Federal oversight agency that was created to root out union corruption in the workplace.
Obama and Ahmadinejad: Trust But Don't Verify
Aaron Goldstein (05/10/08)
Should Barack Obama be elected President of the United States this November then we can expect him to climb aboard Air Force One and fly to Tehran to initiate a conversation with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Hillary's All or Nothing
Miguel Guanipa (05/10/08)
It must be devastating for Hillary Rhodam Clinton to see her chances of becoming the democratic nominee fade into oblivion. It has to be beyond infuriating to have the media - that once so blindly worshipped and adored her mischievous better half - turn on her and declare with such confidence that the die is cast, and hers is now an unstoppable plunge into defeat, no less to a country that, as far as she is concerned, has not yet had the final word.
