She claims that her students violated her civil rights. She says student's "anti-intellectualism" made her life a living hell. So, this ex-Dartmouth professor is threatening to sue her students for the temerity to have doubted her hairbrained theories on "ecofeminism" and the "French narrative theory."
We fight back
Guest Author: (05/16/08)
I am going to be perfectly honest with you I am angry, I am sick and damn tired of every time the illegal immigrants take a stroll with their signs our senators fall all over them selves trying to screw over the American citizens and this time is no exception. Yes, that is right they are trying at this very moment to slip five year visas into the Iraq appropriations bill, in other words legalize 1.35 million illegal immigrants and they are attaching it to the Iraq spending bill again because they know our men and women in uniform need that money in order to fight so they are going to use money that belongs to the American tax payers to black mail us into legalizing 1.35 million illegal immigrants, well I don’t know about you but I for one do not negotiate with terrorists.

The Real Obama - Exceptionally Explained
Rob Hood (05/16/08)
Presidential candidate Barack Obama has been leading the way in the Democratic party as a strong contender for the nominee for quite some time. Right now Hillary Clinton has been the only one to challenge Obama enough to keep him in the race this long. Hillary, though I personally do not like her policies, has been betrayed by some of her own fellow democrats. Ted Kennedy, and recently John Edwards have betrayed Hillary Clinton by pledging their support to Barack Obama for reasons unstated by either.
The True American Maverick
JB Williams (05/16/08)
When American voters think of the term “maverick,” they often think of Senator John McCain because McCain has spent decades associating himself with that term. To some degree, McCain is right to call himself a “maverick,” having independently departed the company of both his party and his constituents on many issues over the years.
History Will Be Kind to President George W. Bush
Gordon Bishop (05/16/08)
Who is the only world leader standing alone, fighting the Global War on Terror while the rest of the free world is afraid to take on terrorists committed to wiping out Western Civilization?
Editorial: As Each Day Passes It Gets More Obvious We Have No Candidates For President
Editor (05/15/08)
What we have been offered is three political wannabees that are probably not even qualified to be Senators. Qualifying to be a US Senator is a very low bar. Intelligence, common sense and association as being an American advocate are not in the mix.
Obama Protest Too Much
Malcolm Hedges (05/15/08)

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. Viguerie, publisher of ConservativeHQ dot com, said. "Accordingly, Republican Party leaders must resign."

'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.

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.
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)

The Golden Age of Islam Extinguished

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)
