    What will your child learn about 9-11 on the second anniversary of the attack on America’s security and economy? On the occasion of the first anniversary of 9-11, the National Education Association urged teachers to not “suggest any group is responsible.” In suggested lesson plans, the NEA recommended that teachers “discuss historical instances of American intolerance” as the lesson children in elementary, middle and high school should take away from the most dastardly attack on America since Pearl Harbor. The NEA is an American Fifth Column, an enemy within that uses our public schools to turn children against their nation....

    What was touted as a “human rights” proposed ordinance has been defeated in Largo, Florida, see:Human rights vote leaves few satisfied Also see: Homosexual rights ordinance fails in Largo as Halvorsen casts key vote killing it But what “human rights” did the ordinance really seek to protect? In support of the proposed ordinance it was suggested that it is a human right to not be discriminated against because of a sexual orientation. But is this really a human right, and if so, is it then morally and constitutionally justified to use the force of government to compel a property owner...

    This spring, white students at Johnson County High in Wrightsville, Ga., continued a tradition they have followed since desegregation. They held a prom separate from the school prom – for white students only. As did the juniors at neighboring Taylor County High. News of the separate proms reached Bill O'Reilly at Fox News, who angrily demanded that Gov. Sonny Perdue attend the official Taylor County prom in protest. As columnist Sam Francis writes, O'Reilly seemed miffed that there was no law or authority to stop this outrage: "You can't sue because the event is being held off-campus. It's a private...

    Syria-ous TroubleBy Donnel Jones, May 19, 2003 It is probably a commonplace, after September 11th, to note the realism and sheer believeability of black satire. How hilarious, now, is the topsy-turvy madness of Monty Python when "Baghdad Bob" announces the imminent ruin of American forces just as Baghdad itself is falling to them? Does Joseph Heller's pitiless novel, Catch 22, hold anything more heart-breaking yet numbingly bizarre than Saddam's children's prisons? What can compare in the real world to the lurid recesses of perversion and cruelty found in David Lynch's suburban settings? How about the blood libel taught to...

    A couple of folks pointed out to me that some of the terminology in the original article might be cannon fodder for media communists who want to smear this site the same way they keep smearing Heston. I've reworked the article, but I'll only post the link so nobody with an agenda can blame the site for it. To summarize, I was saying that I had fallen for the media portrayal of Heston without having all the facts, and that the more I learn about him (primarily from this site) the more I feel he merits admiration and respect. Plus,...

    ALBANY, New York, Dec 31, 02 (CWNews.com) - The eight Catholic bishops of New York state filed a lawsuit against the state on Monday to overturn a new law that requires employers to offer health insurance that covers birth control for women. The bishops contend that the law forces the Catholic Church to endorse immoral and sinful practices. "Such an outrageous law ought to alarm anyone who loves America and the freedoms for which it stands," the eight bishops said in a statement. "We cannot let this unprecedented intrusion on our religious rights go unchallenged." The law, which takes effect...
