The Love That Dare Not Speak His Name

  Progressivism item by Lisa Fabrizio (5/15/08)

We are lectured daily by our betters in the media and academia on the continuing dissolution of our freedoms under the oppressive reign of George W. Bush and his sneering sidekick, Richard B. Cheney. The dreaded duo and the rest of the vast right wing conspiracy have been especially vilified for curtailing free speech and accused of using nefarious methods to squelch opposition.

The Jolly Green Giant’s Senate Testimony

University Building Plan Increases State Debt 16 Percent

  Bird-Brain Flu item by Byron Schlomach (5/15/08)

Late night infomercials introduce consumers to great deals they can’t possibly pass up. “For only $19.99, you can get this incredible Ginsu knife. But if you call now, you get two, and this special bonus gift, for no extra charge!” Most of us pass up these deals because we recognize that they are too good to be true. An idea the legislature is considering to borrow money for new buildings is like that.

Read a Book, Get Charged with Racial Harassment

  Progressivism item by Selwyn Duke (5/15/08)

The May 9 edition of the New York Post carries a short article by an Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis student named Keith John Sampson. He tells a story of being charged with “racial harassment” simply because he was “caught” reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book.

  GreeenIsm item by Malcolm Hedges (5/14/08)

Fish, birds, bugs, rodents and Polar Bears are now officially considered to be equal to or more important than humans?

Unfriendly Fire From Left

  MSM item by Malcolm A. Kline (5/14/08)

In World War II and even into the Cold War, academics, journalists and politicians tempered their criticism of American foreign policy with a concern for U. S. troops serving in harms way. Sixty years later, men and women in U. S. military combat fatigues can count on no such sympathy from American elites.

Why We Vote

  Congress item by John Longenecker (5/14/08)

Every generation of constituents has to live with several generations of Congress infected with Potomac Fever

Toledo Free Press Article Gets University Employee Fired

  MSM item by Warner Todd Huston (5/14/08)

We are certainly used to seeing the MSM causing trouble for conservatives and this one is no different at least on that level. But the interesting thing here is that the trouble a social conservative discovered was as a result of what she wrote in the MSM as opposed to what was written about her by the MSM. It seems that the opinion editorial written by Crystal Dixon(1) for the Toledo Free Press got her fired by the University of Toledo(2) because… well, you know how universities are all about free expression and speech, right? Unfortunately for Dixon, though, hers wasn’t the proper, politically correct sort of speech that is officially approved of by the thugs at the University of Toledo.

Assimilation of Immigrants and the Imperative of Pride in America

  Immigration item by Paul M. Weyrich (5/14/08)

When my father came from Germany as a 19-year old the very first thing he did was to enroll in a class taught at a local public school to learn English. My aunt told me that he became proficient in English in only six weeks. He wanted to be an American and to do so he had to learn the language. Of course, he retained his German heritage.  However, assimilation was important to him, as it was to most immigrants.

This Means War

  Terrorism item by OffSite (5/14/08)

Iran’s proxy, Hezbollah, is now in control of Lebanon.

Gunsmoke and The Rifleman

  MSM item by Bruce Walker (5/14/08)

My wife and I find almost nothing to watch on television.  Even Fox News is repetitive, covering the same stories that are easily available on the Internet in greater depth over and over again.  The political correctness that permeates all contemporary shows is just plain offensive.  The silliness of other new programming makes Romper Room seem sophisticated.  Perhaps, most of all, it is the self-absorption of the endless stream of models, pretty boys, and celebrities that makes watching most television less interesting than watching paint dry on walls.

Oil: $200 a barrel? Bring it on!

  GreeenIsm item by J. James Estrada (5/14/08)

‘The Train Wreck Called Obama - The Great Uniter?’

  Election 2008 item by JB Williams (5/13/08)

How did a freshman nobody senator from Chicago, with little more on his résumé than a 20 year membership in an anti-American church of racism, derail the Clinton juggernaut to become the undeniable front-runner for the Democrat Party Presidential nomination?

Teach Your Kid How to Sense BS

  EdukShun item by Doug Giles (5/13/08)

“One of the most salient features of our culture is there is so much bull----.” Harry G. Frankfurt, Princeton philosophy professor How many of you have met the book smart 4.0 magna cum laude lady who, in regard to street smarts, is a magna dumb loopy chick? What about the poor honey who is neither book nor street smart? What a shame, eh? My goal for my girls is for them to own the twain. My wife and I push our daughters to academic excellence; we insist that they strain their brains so they won’t sound like Paris Hilton when they open their mouths.

Nonsense ‘Survey’ Says Americans ‘Struggling in Life’

  Progressivism item by Warner Todd Huston (5/13/08)

How about I ask you if you “feel” like you make enough money each year? Let’s say you make $48,000 a year, OK? (That’s the median household income in the US) You’ll likely tell me, then that you “feel” you need more. Now, from this, can I conclude that you are “struggling in life” as a citizen of the USA? Not if you use actual data instead of “feelings” to determine what “struggling” means and not if you then try to add context to what we all have compared to what others in the world have, of course. But, this is exactly the sort of nonsensical “survey” that Reuters gravely warned us about this week. Without bothering with any statistics or context, Reuters excitedly reported that “Many Americans struggling in life, survey finds"(1), and decided that everyone is downtrodden and filled with “suffering” in the United States today.
