Few college students are aware of the growing support network available to abused, conservative students. [...] As soon as one side believes that it possesses a monopoly on religion, doesn’t religion fail? [...] In the days and weeks following 9/11, friends and neighbors saw the American flag flying by my front door and assumed it was in remembrance of the people murdered by Islamic terrorists. [...] At the YMCA in East Liverpool, Ohio, in 1968, I encountered Bevo Francis, who held the record for most points scored in a college basketball game. [...] A senior CIA official blames the U.S. for al Qaeda’s terrorism. [...] Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, mythologies that the Founders were irreligious or wanted to ban religion are considered fact. [...] The Love Canal story began with the failure of the city fathers and the Board of Education to act responsibly, and escalated thanks to the hysteria drummed up by local environmentalists. [...] The World Health Organization is adrift in a sea of political correctitude. It gives lip service to Third World needs, but devotes attention to First World concerns like obesity, traffic deaths, cancer and global warming. [...] There is no better example of how radical feminism hoodwinks women than the gender “wage gap” controversy. [...] Someone who was once labeled “the indispensable leader” by the Washington Times and called “exceptional” by Time magazine could not be expected to return to Georgia and take up fly fishing. [...] Many argue that the democratic legitimization of a referendum outcome regarding Ariel Sharon’s Gaza plan would help to minimize the likelihood of civil war breaking out in Israel. [...] Stephen Ducat’s book, The Wimp Factor, is boiled from political correctness and within it swirl chunks of radical feminism, socialism, and anti-white racism.

[...] Which is more likely to advance, rather than endanger, Social Security reform — personal accounts accompanied with large-scale borrowing, or personal accounts plus anything that can plausibly be described as benefit cuts? [...] On no issue is our dislocation from reality more acute than on the separation of church and state. [...] The Washington Post’s series on maternal homicide fails to build the case that maternal homicide is an epidemic, is on the rise, or is even a significant social problem. [...] The first wave of baby boomers were proud adherents to the old Rhythm and Blues and Doo-Wop of the late 50’s and early 60’s, as represented by Les Cooper’s Wiggle Wobble. [...] By ignoring the father’s rights at the outset of the Evan Parker Scott case, the court set the stage for a needless tragedy. [...] The State Department issues travel advisories for troubled areas, and it occasionally calls on its citizens to temporarily leave an area that it deems dangerous, but it never implements any policy to force American citizens to leave an area or country. [...] The ME generation refuses to acknowledge that there is a looming problem with the Social Security system. [...] Both evolution and Intelligent Design are metaphysical theories. If academic freedom is paramount, where one treads, the other should be allowed to follow. [...] The November 2004 Battleground Poll shows that sixty percent of Americans consider themselves either "very conservative" or "somewhat conservative," while only thirty-three percent consider themselves "very liberal" or "somewhat liberal."
