Appalling Idiocy of Slavery Memorial by Thomas Sowell – Part 1 A slave memorial is guaranteed to become a magnet for every race hustler from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton down to any local demagogue who can scare up a crowd to go stand in front of the slave memorial and spew venom at American society on TV. Some reconciliation, some healing!  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2780  Part 2 a sense of victimhood has been one of the biggest handicaps facing the younger generation of blacks, at a time when the opportunities open to them have never been greater. …We have all we can do to live our own lives the best way we can, treating our contemporaries with decency and justice. There is not a thing we can do about what other people did in times irretrievably past.  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2794  Part 3 – How Republicans should try to attract the black vote – on school choice and crime issues http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2826

The cost of confronting Fidel - For decades Castro has used the embargo as an excuse for the failure of his Communist revolution. The embargo has been his rhetorical trump card. No matter how bad things were, he could always blame the embargo and the United States as the cause of Cuba’s ills. As such, the embargo has assisted him in consolidating power. The lifting of the embargo would not be a victory for Castro, but would rather be the beginning of a long awaited opportunity to watch him fall flat on his face. Why not force the Castro regime to contend with the force of economic liberty? … In an April 2002 speech on trade-promotion, President Bush stated that, “Trade creates the habits of freedom” and begins to “create the expectations of democracy and demands for better democratic institutions. Societies that are open to commerce across their borders are more open to democracy within their borders.” If this is true, then why not put our money where our mouth is and engage Cuba with policies that will begin to “create the habits of freedom?”  http://www.acton.org/ppolicy/comment/article.php?id=139

American Terrorism – A Primer  For example, in February of 2002, a Pueblo, Colorado, family filed a lawsuit against the DEA for a raid it conducted in August of 2000.  The suit alleges that, "black-masked, black-helmeted men brandishing automatic weapons and wearing all-black uniforms with no insignias suddenly burst into the house unannounced, kicked the family's dog across the floor, ordered the entire family to 'get on the f***ing floor,' held them at gunpoint, searched the house, found no drugs or contraband, but nevertheless carted off the family's two sons, Dave and Marcos, and imprisoned them illegally and without charges." [1]…In 1999 alone, the DEA made over 40,000 such "arrests." … In August of 1991, for example, the ATF shot Randy Weaver's 14-year-old son in the back, killing him.  The next day, they shot his unarmed wife, Vicki, in the back of the head while she held their 10-month-old baby in her arms.  His wife was killed instantly.  …The excuse that the ATF used for these "tactics" was that Mr. Weaver failed to show up for a February court date, in which he was to be charged with owning a shotgun that was too short for the agency's liking.  Weaver did not appear in court because he assumed that the court date was in March, since that is what the government "mistakenly" told him.  Oops.  Widowed and deprived of a son, Weaver was later acquitted of all felony charges except failure to appear in court.  No ATF agents were punished significantly for killing Randy Weaver's family. .. Many Americans remember seeing photographs of INS agents, clad in combat gear, rip a terrified Elian Gonzales from the helpless arms of his Miami relative… With help from NASA (yes, NASA), the INS, and the DEA, agents from the National Park Service executed millionaire Donald Scott at his home in Malibu just one month after Randy Weaver's brush with terrorist feds.  Scott was suspected of growing marijuana, although none was found… After all, if the ATF, IRS, DEA, INS, and other terrorist agencies are allowed to operate freely from within America's borders, then what good are the U.S. Marines?  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2812

Global Warming – The French Connection – by Ann Coulter …About the same time, the journal Nature published the findings of scientist Peter Doran and his colleagues at the University of Illinois. Rather than using the U.N.'s "computer models," the researchers took actual temperature readings. It turned out temperatures in the Antarctic have been getting slightly colder – not warmer – for the last 30 years. …Liberals don't care about the environment. The core of environmentalism is a hatred for mankind. They want mass infanticide, zero population growth, reduced standards of living and vegetarianism. Most crucially, they want Americans to stop with their infernal deodorant use.  http://www.anncoulter.org/columns/2003/052803e.htm
