“He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.”

-- Thomas Paine, "Common Sense" [1776]

What About The Real Crises?           By Theresa Fritz Camoriano          We know that the news media love to create “crises”, because that’s what helps sell their products and promote their agendas.  As a result, we are treated to a new “crisis” nearly every day.  However, after a little investigation or thought, we usually realize that what was touted as a crisis really is not.  For example, The Reverend Coleman has discovered a “crisis” in the dress code at Louisville’s new 4^th Street Live, saying that requiring people to wear shirts with sleeves was racial discrimination against blacks.             (click to read more)

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964: FORTY YEARS BETRAYED          by  Rod D. Martin          -- "If the Senator can find in Title VII...any language...that an employer will have to hire on the basis of percentage or quota related to color...I will start eating the pages...."

So said Hubert Humphrey as the US Senate prepared to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act, whose 40th anniversary is July 2.           (click to read more)

The Religious Nature of Education          by David Sant            Most Americans think of education as a value-neutral arena in which children are taught the knowledge and skills they need to function as adults in society. As Christians, we must realize that education is inherently religious. What is education, if not teaching children about the way the world works?           (click to read more)

Decentralized Government Could Be Best Hope for Self-Determination and True Sovereignty in Iraq         Oakland, Calif.--With Monday morning’s surprise ceremony in Baghdad, transferring political authority from the United States to an interim Iraqi government, officials hope insurgents in Iraq will lose support, after attacks across Iraq killed more than 100 people last week, and insurgents captured and threatened to behead a U.S. Marine and four other foreign civilians over the weekend. But with more than 130,000 U.S. troops remaining in the country, a hand-picked Prime Minister who is a former CIA asset, and U.S. “advisors” running Iraqi ministries well past the changeover to a permanent Iraqi government, this interim government is not “fully sovereign” or representative of Iraqis, says Ivan Eland, Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute, a think tank in Oakland, California.         (click to read more)

Hoosiers can vote for mother for Lt. Gov, her son for U.S. President        Libertarian Presidential candidate Michael Badnarik came home to Indiana to introduce the Libertarian lieutenant governor candidate - his mother, Elaine Badnarik.

"Indiana will be in strong hands with my mother as lieutenant governor," said Michael Badnarik, who is from Hammond and attended Indiana University.           (click to read more)

Toledo Gets Tough on "Crime"          The City of Toledo has some interesting priorities. Murder and forcible rape are double the national average. Robberies are three times the national average. But here's a note for you criminals, don't get caught smoking.           (click to read more)

From a Marine officer on the Iraqi warfront with Jihadistan...         (This is an open letter to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, "Islamic Response," and the rest of the so-called al-Qa'ida "insurgents" in Iraq and elsewhere.  We don't have an e-mail address for these swine -- though we are closing in on their snail-mail address, but we are forwarding this letter to Federalist Patriots around the world in the hope you good people will forward it to as many other Patriots as possible to rally prayer and support for our fellow Marine, Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun.  Should these al-Qa'ida pigs spill his blood, we want them to rest assured that the contents of this letter will eventually be nailed to their foreheads. Thank you for your assistance.)           (click to read more)

The Mental State of Our Union       by Jonathan David Morris           George Bush has got to go.

Why am I saying this? Two articles, in particular. The first appeared in the Washington Post on June 16th. The second appeared in World Net Daily on June 21st. When taken together, and looked at in context, they suggest a very frightening future -- a future in which Americans won't be able to say what's on their minds. So I'm saying "George Bush has got to go" now, while I still can.            (click to read more)

Political Matters           by Lady Liberty            This past week, I traveled back home for a family event. As most of you know, I decline to fly (and will continue to do so as long as needlessly invasive security measures remain in place). That means I spent two very long days behind the wheel of a rental car with little to do but endure traffic jams on my way through several large cities and listen to the radio.           (click to read more)

"President Bush has never said that fetal stem cells cannot be used for research.  He said 'federal money' cannot be used to fund such research.  If leading scientists believed fetal stem-cell research would prove to be so fruitful in curing Alzheimer's, why is the private money not pouring in hand over fist?  Do you realize how many billions a cure for Alzheimer's would be worth, let alone all the other cures some are claiming fetal stem-cell research would lead to?  Forget Alzheimer's -- do you know how much middle-aged men would pay for a GENUINE baldness cure?"

--Ann Coulter
