Conservatives, Liberals and Blacks – by Walter Williams   If there is one general characteristic of white liberals, it's their condescending and demeaning attitude toward blacks. …It's always been my contention that the conservative vision shows far greater respect for blacks than the liberal you-can't-make-it-without-us vision. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3822

Verbal sleight of hand – by Thomas Sowell The word "swamp," for example, has been all but erased from the language. Swamps were messy, sometimes smelly, places where mosquitoes bred and sometimes snakes lurked. The left has replaced the word "swamp" with "wetlands," a word spoken in pious tones usually reserved for sacred things…. Another word that the left has virtually banished from the language is "bum." Centuries of experience with idlers who refused to work and who hung around on the streets making a nuisance -- and sometimes a menace -- of themselves were erased from our memories as the left verbally transformed those same people into a sacred icon, "the homeless."  http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3830

Electing an image – by Thomas Sowell Over the years Senator Kerry has voted again and again to cut spending on the military and on the intelligence services. In short, his votes have weakened this country militarily. Therefore the rhetoric of the convention and the Kerry campaign uses the word "strong" or "strength" at every opportunity. …By repeating such words incessantly, the rhetoric counters the reality -- at least for those voters who cannot be bothered to find out the facts. …Senator Kerry has not only voted consistently pro-abortion, he has even declared that he will vote against confirming any federal judge who is not in favor of abortion "rights." The issue is not what your position is on abortion. The issue is whether you want to be conned about a presidential candidate's record. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3818

The triumph of the 9/11 commission – by Daniel Pipes Finally, an official body of the American government has come out and said what needs to be said: that the enemy is "Islamist terrorism…not just ‘terrorism‚' some generic evil." The 9/11 commission in its final report even declares that Islamist terrorism is the "catastrophic threat" facing America. …."The Islamist outlook represents not a hijacking of Islam, as is often but wrongly claimed; rather it emerges from a "long tradition of extreme intolerance" within Islam, one going back centuries and in recent times associated with Wahhabism, the Muslim Brethren, and the Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb.  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3823

Why limit government? By Lawrence Reed We want to limit government--ultimately--because we support freedom and the free society…We want to limit government because we want to maximize opportunity, enterprise and creativity…We want to limit government because we want to permit individuals to go as far as their talents, ambitions, and industry can take them…We want to limit government because we want people to dream and to have the room to bring those dreams to fruition--for themselves and their families. http://www.heritage.org/Research/PoliticalPhilosophy/hl843.cfm

EPA Withdraws Inaccurate Smart Growth Traffic Congestion Report Reflecting its anti-automobile bias, the EPA's purported remedies often seem to be aimed more at reducing automobile use than at seriously improving air quality. http://www.heritage.org/Research/SmartGrowth/bg1782.cfm
