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.
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."
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.
'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.
From Darwin to Nazism? How Atypical and Irrelevant Examples Mislead Us
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
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.
