The Draft and Slavery – Sobran The North won. Chattel slavery was abolished. Political slavery prevailed. You may not belong to a private master, but you very much belong to the state. The chief freedoms you have left are merely things the government still permits you to do. Even these permissions are being steadily narrowed and revoked, because they aren’t yours by right. .. Jefferson understood that your government is, in the nature of things, your natural enemy and must be kept on a short leash. Today the U.S. Government keeps us all on a short leash. And some of us, who regard anything short of concentration camps and torture chambers as mercy, still think this is freedom. http://www.sobran.com/columns/2004/040415.shtml

Poor Education Prognosis  - Walter Williams The irony and tragedy of this story is that the primary victims of fraudulent education give their allegiance to politicians and civil rights organizations who've become handmaidens of the education establishment and fight against any measure that threatens accountability, competition and alternatives to government schools. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3655

Failure looms at Fallujah  America's half-measures at Fallujah and Najaf will lead to more humiliating defeats -- and the next strike in America is bound to kill 30,000, not 3,000. That is because, while our faith-based president goes wobbly for weeks at a time over whether to bomb a mosque, the enemy will not hesitate to destroy that which Americans hold as sacred -­ and that is why we are losing the so-called War on Terrorism. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3659

France's former U.N. ambassador, Jean-Bernard Merimee, got vouchers to sell 11 million barrels.

In Russia, the payoff chain reached right into the "office of the Russian president." President Vladimir Putin's Peace and Unity Party also got vouchers, as did the Soviet-era Prime Minister Nikolai Ryzhkov and the Russian Orthodox Church. Nationalist leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky shared in the largesse….Not to be left behind, the Rev.
