Economic Lunacy – by Walter Williams The broken window produced at least two unseen effects. First, it shifted unemployment from the glazier, who now has a job, to the tailor, who doesn't. Second, it reduced the shopkeeper's wealth. Explicitly, had it not been for the vandalism, the shopkeeper would have had a window and a suit; now, he has just a window. …If Krugman is right, wouldn't the terrorists have done us a bigger economic favor if they had destroyed buildings in other cities? http://www.townhall.com/columnists/walterwilliams/ww20041117.shtml

Theo Van Gogh and Education by Murder -Theo van Gogh, 47, was murdered at 8:40 a.m. on November 2 in his hometown of Amsterdam while bicycling down a busy street to work. In the course of being shot repeatedly, Van Gogh beseeched his killer, "Don't do it. Don't do it. Have mercy. Have mercy!" Then the killer stabbed his chest with one knife and slit his throat with another, nearly decapitating van Gogh.  http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4038

Defending the separation of church and state – a call to liberals As absolutes, individual rights have to be upheld on principle, which means arguing for them in all spheres, not just vis-à-vis religion. In other words, the true advocate for the separation of Church and State must also be an advocate for the separation of Economy and State, since both rest on the same fundamental argument of individualism….Thus the liberals, who were the first to abandon and disparage individual rights when implementing their "progressive" taxes, regulations on property owners, and socialized medicine, today can not effectively combat the theocratic ideas slowly engulfing the nation. After all, the religionists are using the same justification that the liberals used; viz. that such is the will of the majority (a.k.a. Society), no matter whose rights are trampled to get there. http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2596

The danger of Bush - So far, on the Boy Scout front, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has not even been forced to explain the Pentagon's capitulation to a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union in that degenerate group's continuing war on everything decent in this country…. Then there is the issue of forced mental-health screening contained in legislation that could be approved in the U.S. Senate as early as this week… And finally, there is the issue of national sovereignty, which may face its gravest threat yet under the direction of the Bush administration.  http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41518

Mel Gibson on California stem cell research - Why is the state with the lowest credit rating and the highest debt cost in the country responsible now for borrowing money to pay for dubious research for the rest of the world?... Why are they misleading the public into believing there's a promise of cures through human cloning when all of the science so far says just the opposite?   http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1264935/posts

The unlimited enemy – by Thomas Sowell http://www.townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/ts20041119.shtml

Supporting the troops? – by Thomas Sowell  It is more than enough to ask a man to put his life on the line for his country, without needlessly increasing those risks by trying to be nobler than thou or playing to the international gallery. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/ts20041118.shtml

The loss that keeps on giving! – by Ann Coulter As we wait for CBS to concede the election, Democrats are claiming Kerry lost because Americans are stupid – and if there's one thing voters respond to, it's crude insults. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/ac20041118.shtml
