Sorry, did I say fire? I meant lies. Chariots of lies. They sound, and look, a lot alike. Fuzziness, please remember, is as good as accuracy. For many disadvantaged children, it’s better. They should not have to deal with further rejection and humiliation. You’d understand that if you weren’t a capitalist stooge. This is one of our most important lies. Sorry, I meant truths. Our job is to correct the ills of society, and provide advantages to the disadvantaged. Fuzziness is an important tool in this agenda. Let’s say that A is almost as tall as B. Surely we can...

The Totalitarians Within Posted By David Horowitz On May 31, 2011 @ 12:12 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 18 Comments On May 11, 2011, I spoke to a student audience at UCLA for about an hour. My speech was video-taped and recorded on audio. Frontpage Magazine posted the video and an edited transcript of the speech. We are now posting an unedited transcript (accessible here) for reasons I will make clear in a moment. On May 24, the Undergraduate Students Association at UCLA, by a 10-0 vote passed a resolution proposed by the Muslim Students Association declaring that “UCLA is...

Once again a mere flicker—in this case burning a copy of the Koran in Florida—has ignited the inferno of deeply seated infidel-hatred that pervades the contemporary Muslim world, precipitating violence, death, and general mayhem amongst our Afghan “ allies.” This eruption was hardly pastor Terry Jones’ fault. The insane orgy of murderous Muslim violence in Afghanistan was a direct result of Islamic doctrine. Jones’ simple non-violent act effectively administered a diagnostic societal stress test revealing—yet again—the pathological mindset engendered by an Islam that remains ossified in its Medieval fortress, defiantly unreformed and unrepentant. Kansas-born Ann Barnhardt was raised on a...

No French fries. Or freedom fries for that matter. The New York City Health Department has issued new guidelines banning fried foods from its work-sponsored meals, telling employees to cut bagels and muffins in half, and saying that if cakes are served for a celebration, they can’t be coupled with cookies. According to the Health Department, it’s about being consistent. The Daily News explains: "Employees also got a bright-colored brochure stipulating what can and can’t be served at meetings and parties. "Tap water is a menu must when food or drinks are served. Other beverages must be less than 25...

Dr. Jamie Glazov and his Canadian publisher, Mantua Books, have just published a new kind of “samizdat” which is the Russian word for self-publications written by dissidents and passed from hand to hand. “Self-publishing” (by hand, on typewriters, on printing presses) was a 20th century way of dealing with Soviet government censorship. The Russian authors and readers who were found with such writing in their possession were routinely subjected to harsh imprisonment. Westerners, (and this includes Israel), do not live in a Soviet Gulag and are not subject to political censorship, but we do face a new kind of Orwellian...

Just as we are about to celebrate Christmas among families and friends, we are told to fear the next attack by Obamas Attorney General. Talk about preparing the victim. These people are much too obvious! WASHINGTON, Dec. 21, 2010 Attorney General Eric Holder has an urgent message for Americans: While he is confident that the United States will continue to thwart attacks, "the terrorists only have to be successful once."

“Israel is the lighthouse and the only democracy in this backward and dictatorial part of the world,” he proclaims. “Israel is very close to us, to our European identity. Israel fights our war.”

Islam taken by it's very word is license to steal, rape, kill and terrorize. To help you understand how the prophet and his followers made a living in Medina, I have taken these verses from the Quran and the Sahih Bukhari Hadith, which are self explanatory and need no analysis from me. Read them and make up your own mind. I have only taken a snap shot and would encourage you to do your own research by using the Islamic websites www.thenoblequran.com and www.searchtruth.com for the Quran and Hadith. It's mind blowing and does make the Somali Pirates look tame...

Axelrod Suggests Dem's Stay Up late for an Upset on Election Night; that's the headline today folks. What does ace Dem insider and Obama Campaign Chairman know that the media, the pundits and the rest of the voting public doesn't? Perhaps the answer lays in the testimony of a Florida computer programmer M. Curtiss, who under sworn testimony admits helping to create a computer program that steals one out of every ten votes cast while remaining undectable to outside investigators. You can listen to his testimony on YouTube

President Obama's Department of Education, where Secretary Arne Duncan appointed a longtime homosexual activist...now is proposing to force colleges and universities to submit to a political agenda, according to critics. Under the proposed federal rule change, institutions of higher education "would be required to have a document of state approval … to operate an educational program, including programs leading to a degree or certificate," explained an analysis by Shapri D. LoMaglio for the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities. "I think it is the greatest threat to academic freedom in our lifetime," former Sen. Bill Armstrong, now president of Colorado...

Today’s Liberals, Progressives or admitted socialists are collectivists; any collectivist is necessarily totalitarian. Before considering the reasons, we should note that the earlier left was a stout defender of individual freedom along classical liberal lines shared with the Founders; collectivism began to replace that only with the rise of the Progressives into power after 1885. Totalitarian: A form of government in which the political authority exercises absolute and centralized control over all aspects of life, the individual is subordinated to the state, and opposing political and cultural expression is suppressed. European collectivism proceeded via economic suffering into the Soviet Union, National...

In today's progressive ideology of secular liberalism there are two different sects which exist. In this post we will seek to take an in depth look at them. The first sect is the Green or Radical Environmental Movement. This radical environmentalism is the foundation on which many progressive liberals build their secular ideology on. This green ideology dominates all manner of their living and many of the progressive liberals of today adhere to this green position. The Machiavellian agenda and game plan of these is to control and convert as many as they can to this green life style. These...

The bill sets up two new supersnooping federal agencies to collect data on ordinary Americans: •The Office of Financial Research. This supposedly would predict risk in the system by collecting massive amounts of new financial data, such as patterns of credit card use. •The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It would collect data, especially on consumer transactions. The data are supposed to be "scrubbed" of individual identifiers, so your privacy would be protected. But that might not work, Mark Calabria told us; the director of financial regulation studies at the Cato Institute formerly was a member of the senior professional staff...

Category: Common Interest - Beliefs & Causes Description: Let's face it. There is no arguing with Glenn Beck types or Rush Limbaugh listeners. The Republican Party is the problem, not the solution to America's and the world's problems. They are simply too dense and uneducated. They wallow in their greed, fear and anti-intellectualism. They are dragging the rest of us who have to put up with their nonsense down. This is a group for people who think it is time for the Federal government using the resources of the the Department of Homeland Security;... They are dragging the rest of...

OUR OPINION: cf,gtm World leaders should back peaceful protesters In a democracy, people can disagree. They can march to protest their government, they can chastise their elected officials in public forums, they can walk down the street carrying placards voicing their opinions. They can do all those things and as long as they aren't rioting, the police will respect their fundamental human rights. Not in Cuba. Never in Cuba. Once again, the Cuban regime has notched up its police state to break up peaceful protests by the Ladies in White -- the wives, mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters and cousins of...

Attempt to end the “old boy network” Equality Minister wants businesses to be ordered to disclose what they are doing to improve gender equality in the ranks of senior management. Her move, which is backed by Gordon Brown, comes on top of provisions in the controversial Equality Bill that allow employers to give jobs to women in favour of men with the same qualifications. However, it is likely to be resisted by business leaders who resent more Government interference in their recruitment practices, and who argue that women are under-represented among executives because they value their families more than their...

An activist group that temporarily blocked access to key Australian government websites plans to continue its cyber attacks, the BBC has learned. The group, known as Anonymous, was protesting against the Australian government's proposals to apply filters to the internet in the country.

The totalitarian, anti-freedom, and anti-business policies and core ideology of the Democratic party is once again trying to make life harder and more expensive for individuals and businesses in California. Democrats in Sacramento have declared they have discovered a new “menace to California’s environment:” free parking. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Democratic lawmakers are upset that there is too much free parking in California and that encourages us to drive our cars rather than walk, take a bus, take a subway, ride a bike, or ride a horse.

(CNSNews.com) - Chai Feldblum, the Georgetown University law professor nominated by President Obama to serve on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, has written that society should “not tolerate” any “private beliefs,” including religious beliefs, that may negatively affect homosexual “equality.” Feldblum, whose nomination was advanced in a closed session of the Senate Health Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on December 12, published an article entitled “Moral Conflict and Liberty: Gay Rights and Religion” in the Brooklyn Law Review in 2006. “Just as we do not tolerate private racial beliefs that adversely affect African-Americans in the commercial arena, even if such...

Washington — Comments on the Federal Communications Commission’s proposed expansion and codification of network-neutrality rules flooded the agency last week against a new backdrop: the suggestion that the oral argument in the BitTorrent case could call into question the commission’s authority to regulate Internet access. While Comcast argued in federal court that the case should be decided on more narrow grounds than a referendum on that issue, Internet regulatory authority — and how much of it the FCC has — was a topic of sufficient conversation from the three-judge panel to throw a scare into fans of network-neutrality regulation. On...
