Modern Day Silly Talk – Walter Williams Corruption of language is pervasive, much of it, methinks, for political purposes. .. John Milton predicted, "When language in common use in any country becomes irregular and depraved, it is followed by their ruin and degradation." .http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/walterwilliams/2006/02/15/186329.html

Why public schools hate home schooling parents Most homeschooling parents thankfully never stepped foot inside a so-called teacher college or university department of education. Yet these parents give their children a superior education compared to public-school educated kids. http://www.newswithviews.com/Turtel/joel9.htm

You have to send your child to school? What we're missing is the obvious: Children are born learners. They don't need flash cards in the womb or supposed socialization in an institution; they need the loving guidance of parents who care for them. …Compulsory education is one of the biggest lies that the government has sold us. http://www.newswithviews.com/Vaughan/tricia9.htm

Spoiled brat journalism – Thomas Sowell The media love to wrap themselves in the mantle of "the public's right to know" but there is no such dedication to that right when it goes against the journalists' own prejudices.  The public's right to know what a "partial birth abortion" is has been consistently disregarded for years by whole networks, even when they have given wide coverage to abortion controversies. … The media are so full of themselves -- among other things that they are full of -- that they act as if the government exists to provide them with something to publicize. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/thomassowell/2006/02/16/186735.html

Muslim bites dog – Ann Coulter The mass violence by Muslims over some cartoons reminds us why we have to worry when countries like Iran start talking about having nukes. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/anncoulter/2006/02/15/186732.html

Intolerant religious sensitivities – Doug Bandow In all of these nations economic, legal, political, and social discrimination is rampant. So how about a deal? We in the West won’t publish nasty cartoons about Mohammed. In return, Muslim nations will give Christians the same freedoms that Muslims enjoy in the West. Whaddya’ say?  http://citizenoutreachblog.com/?p=25#more-25

Bryant Gumbel goes racist http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48879

A Corporation does what’s right – Tom DeWeese   By standing for principle and doing what is right, BB& T has a chance to influence others in the banking industry to follow suit. And that is a force of power government fears most. It’s proof that the free market, when left alone, works. http://www.newswithviews.com/DeWeese/tom44.htm

Two crises – one phony and one real - Thomas Sowell Hundreds of raw FBI files on Republicans were sent to the Clinton White House, in violation of laws and for no higher purpose than having enough dirt on enough people to intimidate political opponents. But domestic spying against Republicans did not shock nearly as many people as intercepting phone calls from terrorists. … It would be far better if the threat of force were credible enough that actual force would not have to be used. … That is the real crisis that is being overshadowed by the phony political crisis. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/thomassowell/2006/02/14/186296.html

Nancy Pelosi Investment Advisor -  When politicians say they are "investing" money they took from you in compulsory taxes, they want you to believe you are getting something back in return. …  If past experience is any guide, for example, even the families who send their children to the very public schools targeted by new federal education spending may not benefit from it. And their neighbors who also pay taxes while sending their children to Catholic, Christian or Jewish Schools must satisfy themselves in the knowledge that the kid down the street who attends public school has a higher paid math teacher now thanks to the shared "investment" strategy of a Republican president and a Democratic House leader. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/terencejeffrey/2006/02/15/186540.html

Ken Blackwell – GOP Gubernatorial Candidate in Ohio Blackwell blames taxes, lawsuit abuse and regulatory confusion for Ohio's ranking 47th in job creation, with a rate last year less than one-seventh of the national rate. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/georgewill/2006/02/19/187106.html

Turning a funeral pulpit into a political soapbox – Star Parker Certainly, in the good reverend's mind, if it weren't for Republicans, the majority of black men would marry the women they impregnate and seven out of 10 black children wouldn't be in homes without fathers. …It's sad that today blacks still have to hear from a minister who worked with Dr. King and from a former president of the United States that they suffer because America is racist and because the government doesn't spend enough money. But, as was once said, we shall overcome. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/StarParker/2006/02/13/186113.html

Is a war going on in Texas?  Phyllis Schlafly You may not have heard about the enormous cache of weapons found in Laredo, Texas http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/phyllisschlafly/2006/02/14/186551.html

Al Gore Addresses Event Sponsored by Bin Laden’s Family The Saudi Arabia seminar that was addressed by former Vice President Al Gore over the weekend in a speech that criticized the U.S. for being too tough on Arabs was sponsored, in part, by Osama bin Laden's family. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/2/13/182926.shtml?s=et

Changing society through education - The predetermined outcome is to posture an oligarchy over a compliant global community of meticulously groomed workers, not thinkers; followers, not leaders; group members, not individuals; subjective feelers, not objective thinkers.  http://www.newswithviews.com/Rae/debra2.htm

Why weren’t we informed? Mona Charen An ordinary person, hearing about such an accident, would respond as follows: How horrible! Cheney must be in agony. What's the prognosis on Whittington? http://townhall.com/opinion/columns/monacharen/2006/02/17/186898.html
