Careful What You Wish For Our personal lives would probably be much nicer if more people stopped - even for a brief moment at a time - to think just a little about other people. It certainly doesn't take a lot of extra time or hurt me in any way to be considerate in a movie theatre; making somebody feel good in the grocery store costs me nothing but a couple of extra seconds which, whatever the time of day, I can certainly afford. I'm nice to clients when they call our office, not merely because "the customer is always right," but because I appreciate good service myself. And again, it costs me next to nothing, and I can potentially gain plenty by doing so. The truth is that we could solve a lot of other problems if we were just a little less self-centered, too. In fact, most of the problems we're having with the government these days is a direct result of the "what's in it for me?" attitude so many so overtly display these days. (Read the rest here)
Blame
It On The Patriarchy The feminism is a secular religion with its own high priestesses, dogmas, and initiation rituals. Its creation myth holds that on the first day Goddess created Eve, and all was right with the world. But that idyllic state was shattered when first patriarch Adam stumbled into the Garden, pounded on the table, and demanded his apple. Simply put, the word "patriarchy" denotes male leadership. By that definition, the United States is a patriarchal society. It was our Founding Fathers who brought forth a nation based on the principles of democracy, equal opportunity, and limited government. Men provided the raw muscle power and ingenuity that became the engine for a booming economy. Patriarchs, also known as primary breadwinners, provided sustenance and stability to their families.

For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership We're hearing more and more about the possibility of combining the US, Canada, and Mexico into a new entity similar to the European Union. A key part of this "North American Union" (aka "North American Community") would expand NAFTA to include a court system that would have supremacy over all US law (even the Supreme Court!) in "...any matter related to the trilateral political and economic integration" of the three countries.

5 , 2005 “The media is the enemy!” This is the title of the introductory narrative of American Free Press.net. AFP offers: “In the old Soviet Union, the government controlled the media. Not a word of substance could be published without prior approval from the Bolshevik commissars. Today, in the United States, the situation is starkly similar. But most Americans don’t even know it.

Taxes Subsidize China Each year the people of the United States write a check to subsidize China, one of the most brutal, anti-American regimes in the world. Lately it has been in vogue for everyone in Washington to eagerly denounce the egregious abuses of the Chinese people at the hands of their communist dictators. Yet no one in our federal government has been willing to take China on in any meaningful way. Very few people realize that China is one of the biggest beneficiaries of American taxpayer subsidies. Thanks to the largesse of Congress and the President, China enjoys subsidized trade and the flow of US tax dollars into Beijing's coffers. (Read the rest here)
Why
Do They Hate Us? You'll recall that immediately after the 9/11 attacks, U.S. officials declared that the attacks had been motivated by the terrorists' hatred for America's "freedom and values." That refrain produced the "war on terrorism" and, more recently, the "war on radical Islamo-fascism." Nonsense, said libertarians. The anger and hatred that Arabs and Muslims have for the United States is rooted in decades of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Ending the U.S. government's decades-old policy of empire and intervention would bring an end to the threat of terrorism (and radical Islamo-fascism) against the United States. (Read the rest here)
The
Bush Administration Makes New Enemies Daily In the frenzy surrounding the exposed plot to simultaneously blow up ten airliners flying from Britain to the United States, one line of inquiry being pursued by investigators should make the Bush administration very nervous. British and Pakistani law enforcement officials are examining whether the British plotters of Pakistani descent received money from an Islamic charity, Jamaat ud Dawa. The charity has been used as a front for a militant group fighting for the separation of the Muslim province of Kashmir from the predominantly Hindu India. The most important element in the whole investigation is that Jamaat ud Dawa was recently labeled a terrorist organization by the Bush administration. Could this labeling have motivated the plot in the first place? (Read the rest here)
