The Decline of the Academic Left

Ron Lipsman — Wed, 23 May 2012 00:30:31 +0000

A university system dedicated to indoctrination rather than education cannot fill the needs of society and must, eventually fall. [i] It is no secret that what passes for an education at most of the nation’s colleges and universities is suspiciously akin to indoctrination. An asterisk: With the exception of a few areas – specifically, climate [...]

Can The States Withstand Big Labor’s Attacks?

Austin Hill — Tue, 22 May 2012 16:06:14 +0000

Here are three state-wide elected leaders you should know about, whose efforts to save their states – and our nation – are absolutely not going unpunished. Some courageous American leaders are trying to prevent another California budget disaster. But if Big Labor gets its way, the preventative measures will be abandoned. So [...]

GM’s Pathetic Stock Price Means a $30 Billion Taxpayer Tab

Seton Motley — Tue, 22 May 2012 16:05:21 +0000

Before GM takes yet another flyer on yet another bankrupt idea, perhaps they should instead begin to pay down the huge debt they owe We the Taxpayers.

General Motors Bailout 'Success'

Has General Motors (GM) forgotten We the Taxpayers are still out $30+ billion on the $82 billion auto bailout? Apparently [...]

Why I Won’t Sign Up for Facebook

Aaron Goldstein — Tue, 22 May 2012 16:04:40 +0000

Here's a hint; it isn’t because I’m a Luddite who is part of The Anti-Social Network. No, I have other reasons.

As Facebook prepared to make its highly anticipated IPO on the New York Stock Exchange last Friday, I must admit I gave momentary [...]

Posse Comitatus Act Kicked to the Roadside by Feds, say Critics

Jim Kouri — Tue, 22 May 2012 16:02:21 +0000

The new defense authorization act destroys the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibited the U.S. military from acting within the U.S. The new defense authorization act all but erases decades of U.S. government compliance with the letter and the spirit of the Posse Comitatus Act 1878, a law that prohibits the use of the U.S. military to perform law enforcement functions within the [...]

Gay Marriage is Anti-Institutional

David Lawrence — Tue, 22 May 2012 16:00:21 +0000

A heterosexual couple I know were waiting to adopt a child. They had to wait in line behind two lesbians. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Gee, I’m amazed I have to say this—it has been so obvious throughout history. The love between a man and a woman is just not some emotional come hither and [...]

Demographic Tipping Point: Whites Now Less than Half of US Births

Selwyn Duke — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:57:44 +0000

How can we expect people to assimilate when there is neither sufficient pressure from natives, nor sufficient will from newcomers, to do so? Bill Clinton once said that he looked forward to the day when whites were a minority in America. While he won’t live to see such a time, a demographic milestone that should [...]

Is Herman Cain The Next Game Changing Political Force?

Ralph Benko — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:55:08 +0000

Cain is, perhaps uniquely, positioned to take the contest right to the Democratic voters in the nine crucial swing states. Rasmussen’s polling shows that labor union members (including this columnist, a card-carrying member of the AFL-CIO) and blacks both are highly supportive of the gold standard, an issue which Cain now unequivocally champions. All of [...]

Obamcare, the Supreme Court and the Liberal Plantation

Drew McKissick — Mon, 21 May 2012 21:27:33 +0000

Modern liberalism isn't much different economically than slave plantations of the 18th century.

Modern political liberalism is a lot like the old triangle trades of the 18th century, in which crops were traded for manufactured goods which were then used to buy slaves, which were then sold to planters in exchange for more crops.

Why Israel? Why America?

Pastor Stephen Alexander, Esq. — Mon, 21 May 2012 18:33:30 +0000

How do we know God has not forgotten the Jews? The fact that most of the nation of Israel has rejected Christ (only one Messianic Jewish lawyer in Israel’s bar) is no proof that God has finished with His People.

What about the Jews? They were Chosen by God, and yet now in the [...]
