Ever wonder why some people hate America so?  Thomas Sowell Note that it is not the downtrodden masses but the pampered Ph.D.s who most vent their spleen at the country that protects and indulges them … When America frees ordinary people from the domination of their betters, and prevents them from being used as guinea pigs for the vision of the anointed, the more America insults the very presumptions that enable the anointed to think of themselves as special, as one-up on the rest of us. .. As we celebrate both our country's independence and our individual independence on the Fourth of July, we should never forget that this independence is galling to those who want us to be dependent on them. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/ts20040702.shtml

Creativity, Property and Patents Over 700 years ago, Thomas Aquinas identified three reasons why private property was not only licit, but necessary. The first was that people tend to take better care of what is theirs than of what is common to everyone, since individuals tend to shirk a responsibility that is nobody’s in particular (Summa Theologiae II-II, q.66, a.2). .. Secure and protected patents are, in fact, another way in which private property allows us to realize what Christians have always regarded as the purpose of material goods: the service and flourishing of each and every person. http://www.acton.org/ppolicy/comment/article.php?id=205

The Big Lie Behind Fahrenheit 9/11 There's no picture of a gassed Kurd, no picture of the acid baths or eye gouging in Saddam's torture chambers, no picture of anyone being slowly lowered into an industrial shredder, no picture of Iraqi troops tossing premature babies out of incubators in Kuwait, no hint of why millions of Iraqis fled their homeland after Saddam came to power, no picture of how hard it is to fly a kite without hands. … Back then, Moore denounced the American intervention in Afghanistan as too quick and too strong. Today, he condemns the same intervention as too slow and too weak. What's consistent in Moore's worldview is that America is always wrong.   http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3776

Independence – The Forgotten Meaning of America The American Revolution remains unique in human history: a revolution—and a nation—founded on a moral principle, the principle of individual rights. … Jefferson and Washington fought a war for the principle of independence, meaning the moral right of an individual to live his own life as he sees fit. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2899

Another step toward world government by Patrick Buchanan - Can a tribunal be set up and assert a right to prosecute U.S. citizens and soldiers without our permission? In the World Government rising, apparently our consent is not required for us to be subject to a criminal tribunal whose sovereignty supercedes our own. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=39172
