The U.S. Congress has granted you the Keys to Kingdom that will unlock the door to U.S. citizenship, a good-paying job, and tons of free services. Here’s how it works. [...] An effort to beef up security at the Mexican border using state-of-the-art technology may have made it even easier to compromise that very security. [...] A world government, be its center at the banks of the Potomac or the East River, with the capacity to give you all you want, will also have the capacity to take it all away. [...] Like Big Brother in George Orwell's novel, the Fed chairman uses words to mean the opposite of reality. [...] The war on meat is part of the arsenal of weapons being used to coerce and frighten people into believing that less production will “save” the Earth from “global warming.” [...] Women can no longer be taken for granted when it comes to desiring marriage. Since they're increasingly becoming financially independent, marriage "security" means they'll probably end up paying for some guy's kids from a prior relationship. [...] No person, group of people, or government, can force another person to form a union with someone they don’t want to form a union with, and likewise, neither can anyone force another person to fulfill the only discernable purpose of life by creating new life. However, those who engage in the act to create new [...] The only discernable purpose of life that everyone could agree on is the perpetuation of human life itself. Because, whatever else any individual, or group of individuals, wants to do with their own life, they need to have life in the first place. [...] PBS' History Detectives succumbed to revisionist history with Wes Cowan's recent comments on the 2004 election. But this story has an unusual twist. [...] In his latest video, the rambling bin Laden denounces not only “major corporations” and “neoconservatives,” he delivers a queerly disjointed history of the Vietnam War, promotes conspiracy theories and blasphemes Christianity — sound familiar? [...] Osama bin Laden could get a professorship at any allegedly distinguished American university; he certainly has the rap down cold. [...] George W. Bush may be for amnesty, but current and former members of the Border Patrol are not so sure. [...] The “immigrant abuse scam” is a shake-down paid for by the U.S. taxpayer under the guise of stopping domestic violence. [...] The foreign policy of a Rudy Giuliani presidency would further jeopardize American sovereignty in an unrealistic attempt to project American values on the rest of the world's nations. [...] While Israel’s close relationship with the United States is a factor for Islamic terrorists, Israel is not the principal reason the United States has a problem with terrorism. [...] The suggestion that AIPAC’s influence is far greater than other comparable politically active organizations is attributable to the perception of Jews as wielding great and unseen power in the world. [...] The story of the hero who saved countless lives, and of the first of many heels who sought to railroad him for another man’s crime. [...] Strictly Right adds texture to the Buckley/National Review story, which is, after all, the story of modern conservatism. [...] I spent the vast majority of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area and what I saw wasn't pretty; it was an unbridled, dedicated, unreasoning and unreasonable hatred of America and all that it stands for. The present defeatist attitude; the belief that we “can't win” in Iraq, is nothing more than a [...] While the physical violence of the new Jew-hatred is largely the work of young Muslims, the ideological violence against Jews is the work primarily of leftists, battlers against racism, professed humanitarians, and liberals (including Jewish ones). A review of Bernard Harrison's The Resurgence of Antisemitism: Jews, Israel, and Liberal Opinion. [...] The true poverty of America’s poor is not their economic plight, but their lack of knowledge that those who would free them are really those who seek to keep them in chains.
