Given the absence of consistently impartial and irrefutable facts in much of today’s news reports, is our entire population being manipulated like useful idiots? [...] The media won’t report that George W. Bush is the first President since World War II to increase VA spending at the rate of growth of the federal budget. [...] Regardless of the number of people who died in the Afghani riots incited by its article, there won’t be any criminal or civil prosecutions at Newsweek. [...] History suggests that FDR played a marvelous Washington two-step on Congress and the American people to generate support for something that ended up being quite different than originally depicted. [...] The concept of individuals being able to invest their own funds exclusively for their benefit was part of FDR’s original Social Security plan. [...] President Bush’s addition of “progressive indexing” to his Social Security reform plan exposes an almost unconscionable hypocrisy in the Democrats’ position on this issue. [...] Isn’t it amazing how many wonderful things former President William Jefferson Clinton would have done for this world if it wasn’t for the uncalled-for meddling of Special Prosecutor Ken Starr? [...] One day the public is going to wake up and realize that when analysts are telling them to buy things at all-time highs, it might be time to sell. [...] As Jesse Jackson stated in front of Mrs. Schiavo’s hospice, “This is a moral issue and it transcends politics and family disputes.” [...] The oil and wholesale gas prices suggest that we soon may be paying $3/gallon at the pump. [...] Much as in the original Ponzi scheme, Social Security paid huge returns to its first investors that, whether intentional or not, led Americans to believe the plan worked marvelously. [...] According to information compiled by Freddie Mac and the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans have been aggressively tapping into the equity in their homes the past four years at totally unprecedented rates. [...] It appears from their actions that the preservation of Social Security in its current form has become essential to not only preventing an electoral realignment, but preserving the Democrat Party’s very existence. [...] As soon as one side believes that it possesses a monopoly on religion, doesn’t religion fail? [...] The ME generation refuses to acknowledge that there is a looming problem with the Social Security system. [...] The residential real estate market is beginning to behave in an irrational fashion that could be portending an imminent peak. [...] The Left's strategy on Christmas and morality is to dilute and distort. [...] The proportion of working-age adults who are still contributing to a nation’s entitlement programs, rather than receiving benefits from them, is declining in almost every Western country. [...] With the advent of floating exchange rates, and the current level of globalization facing our economy, it appears that a great-grandson of President Taft's Dollar Diplomacy has emerged. [...] Looking at the dire prognostications of currency analysts on TV or in the newspapers lately would lead one to believe that all of your assets are evaporating like raindrops on a Phoenix sidewalk in August. [...] How much of the Republicans' success in the last ten years can be attributed to the dissemination of — for a change — accurate information over the Internet through conservative news websites, blogs, and e-zines? [...] If George W. Bush misreads his moral values mandate, he may give to the Democrats the issue they need to end the Republican realignment. [...] Why is Iran suddenly so interested in appeasing its public enemy number one?
