Stem cell debate is full of dishonesty - Kerry knows very well it isn't a "ban" or that Bush isn't "shutting down" research. But "ban" is a powerfully emotional word. It has more impact on swing voters than "allowing private research, but not using taxpayer money for work on stem cell lines derived after Aug. 9, 2001." http://www.townhall.com/columnists/johnleo/jl20040817.shtml

The appeasement disease – Walter Williams President Bush's foreign-policy critics at home and abroad share characteristics and visions that have previously led to worldwide chaos and untold loss of lives. These people believe that negotiation, appeasement and caving in to the demands of vicious totalitarian leaders can produce good-faith behavior. Their vision not only has a long record of failure but devastating consequences. …There's no evidence that today's fanatical terrorists and their nation-state sympathizers have any taste for compromise and negotiation. They want Western submission, and they just might get that with presidential candidate John Kerry's promise that if elected he will wage "more sensitive war on terror."  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3885

Veterans vs. Kerry – Thomas Sowell   In addition to two key books about John Kerry -- Douglas Brinkley's pro-Kerry book "Tour of Duty" and John O'Neill's anti-Kerry book "Unfit for Command" -- there is another book that would be well worth reading -- if you can find a copy. ..It is John Kerry's own book, written in 1971, titled "The New Soldier." It is out of print and Senator Kerry will not let it be reprinted. …Kerry was not simply part of the "anti-war" movement of the 1960s. Many of us opposed the Vietnam war then for a variety of reasons. What Kerry did was accuse Americans still fighting in Vietnam of widespread atrocities on a daily basis, atrocities authorized all the way up the chain of command, atrocities committed for racial reasons, doing things to the Vietnamese that we would never do to Europeans. …Decades later, Kerry is now trying to back away from some of those statements, saying that they were the words of "an angry young man." Anger is one thing. Lies are another. If what Kerry said was true then, it is still true now. And if it was a lie then, it is still a lie. His anger cannot change that.     http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3887

More on Kerry by Thomas Sowell Maybe the media could put some of the energy that they spend trying to discredit Kerry's critics into finding out what the facts are. Or don't they dare risk finding out?  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3886

The tyranny of judges and how to stop it – interview with Phyllis Schlafly Congress should use its constitutional power granted in Article III to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts to hear any challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) or to the acknowledgment of God in the Pledge of Allegiance.http://davidlimbaugh.com/schlafly.htm

War on Poverty Revisited – Thomas Sowell The poverty rate among black families fell from 87 percent in 1940 to 47 percent in 1960, during an era of virtually no major civil rights legislation or anti-poverty programs. It dropped another 17 percentage points during the decade of the 1960s and one percentage point during the 1970s, but this continuation of the previous trend was neither unprecedented nor something to be arbitrarily attributed to the programs like the War on Poverty. …The rise of blacks in professional and other high-level occupations was greater in the five years preceding the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than in the five years afterwards.  …But what are mere facts compared to a heady vision? Liberal assumptions -- "two Americas," for example -- are being recycled this election year, even by candidates who evade the "liberal" label. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3864

Taxpayer billions wasted on education Congress must end the federal government’s stranglehold on education and return its governance to the States and to local communities. The typical one-size-fits-all federal answer to everything, combined with the use of massive amounts of taxpayer funding to coerce submission to its failed programs, has produced an education system that threatens the future of the nation. …As far back as 1983, the National Commission on Excellence in Education released a report, A Nation at Risk, that warned, “if an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on American the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.” The war on the future of our children's minds continues. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3839

James McGreevey story What is undeniable is that McGreevey's conduct in the privacy of the bedroom led to a massive betrayal of the public trust. …The idea that private behavior has no impact on public propriety or public policy never has been valid. No man is an island and no two people in a consensual relationship, licit or illicit, function in a vacuum.  .. No matter what the modern philosophers say about the privacy of the bedroom, a rascal in private life is quite likely to be a rascal in public life. http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/29002.htm

Price Gouging Saves Lives If we expect customers to be able to get what they need in an emergency, when demand zooms vendors must be allowed and encouraged to increase their prices. Supplies are then more likely to be sustained, and the people who most urgently need a particular good will more likely be able to get it. That is especially important during an emergency. Price gouging saves lives . http://www.mises.org/fullstory.aspx?control=1593

Two versions of Vietnam – Thomas Sowell http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3879

Drug War Crimes - With over 2 million people now locked up, the U.S. prison population is now the largest in the world, much of it the result of the war on drugs. At over 700 per 100,000 residents, for example, the U.S. incarceration rate is more than seven times higher than the rates of incarceration in Germany or France. On top of the price of inequitable enforcement and the $33 billion that the U.S. government is spending annually to enforce drug prohibition, Miron contends that the war on drugs has been more effective in fostering corruption among public officials than in reducing drug consumption. …Arguing that the war on drugs is a poor method of reducing drug use, Miron pulls together the evidence to show how prohibition has increased the level of street violence, expanded health risks for drug users, drained criminal justice resources away from more serious crimes, diminished civil liberties, restricted the medicinal uses of drugs, generated insurrection in drug-producing countries, and speeded the transfer of massive amounts of wealth to criminals. …The costs, in short, have exceeded the benefits. Miron’s answer: “Liberty and utility both recommend that prohibition end.”  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3838

Data Quality Law is Nemesis of Regulation The Data Quality Act -- written by an industry lobbyist and slipped into a giant appropriations bill in 2000 without congressional discussion or debate -- is just two sentences directing the OMB to ensure that all information disseminated by the federal government is reliable. …It's a tool to clobber every effort to regulate," said Rena Steinzor, a professor of law and director of the Environmental Law Clinic at the University of Maryland. "In my view, it amounts to censorship and harassment."…That's a view that Christopher C. Horner of the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute -- which has used the act repeatedly to challenge scientific information -- brushed off as "whiny."..”Hey, you're making me be accurate," he mocked. "I have no sympathy for that." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5716978/
