Cheap shot journalism – Thomas Sowell The self-infatuated idea that nobody could disagree with you for honest and informed reasons is far more dangerous than any influence that donors' money may exercise. …The implications of having so many people so incapable of confronting opposing arguments with anything besides ad hominem responses reach far beyond Wal-Mart or think tanks. It is in fact the Achilles heel of this generation of our society and of Western civilization. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2006/09/12/cheap_shot_journalism

Bush Administration Continues Funding Arab States – Chuck Baldwin Yes, Martha, you heard right. It was the U.S. government that supplied Iran with a major nuclear facility-the same facility that President Bush now insists must be destroyed. …One would think that after decades of meddling with other nations' internal affairs, decades of propping up two-bit despots only to later have to send American soldiers to fight and die trying to depose the same people, and decades of sending billions and billions of hard earned tax dollars all over the world, the American people would have had enough! Apparently not, because our government still does it and the American people continue to put up with it. http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin320.htm

Former Clinton Aid Critical of Attempts to Shut Down ABC Special A national defense analyst who served as a military attaché to President Bill Clinton says the controversial ABC miniseries that has been lambasted by the former Chief Executive and his advisers was, in fact, very accurate. http://www.gopusa.com/news/2006/september/0913_911_specialp.shtml

Religious leaders bash the global market - Religious activists are more outspoken than ever about the problem of global poverty. So why do they so often and so energetically attack multinational corporations – the very organizations that are helping developing nations create jobs and grow through broader trade relations? … [I]f religious leaders must address economic issues, a little more economic literacy is necessary. http://www.acton.org/ppolicy/comment/article.php?article=342&fromemail

Is Rosie O’Donnell a Radical? Not only is Rosie O'Donnell a radical, she lives a perverted lifestyle. She is a bully who wants to force her form of deviancy on the rest of us, shove it down our throats and legislate that we accept it. She thinks that because she is a rich, famous, spoiled celebrity that she knows what is best for all of us. SHE knows what's right. SHE knows what's best. SHE is a better person than the rest of us.  http://www.newswithviews.com/Daubenmire/dave37.htm

What a load of Armitage!  (the Plame kerfluffle) By his silence, Mr. Armitage is responsible for one of the most factually distorted investigations in history. … By attributing his longtime silence to Mr. Fitzgerald's request, Mr. Armitage must have forgotten Mr. Fitzgerald was not appointed until Dec. 30, 2003. If Mr. Armitage had come forward during those three months, there might never have been a special counsel.  … Despite what some CIA good ol' boys might have told Mr. Fitzgerald, he knew from the day he took office that the facts did not support a violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act; therefore, there was no crime to investigate. http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110008948

What’s in a name – radical Christians and Islamic fascists It is important for Americans to understand not that there is a linkage between fundamentalist Christians and Muslim suicide bombers—since there is not—but that there are secular extremists on the left who believe there is a linkage. http://gcc.savvior.com/What_s_In_a_Name_Radical_Christians_and_Islamic_Fascists.php

Cradle of hate – by Ralph Peters What should amaze us isn't the terrorists' strength, which has limits, but the comprehensive failure of Middle Eastern civilization. Given all the wealth that's poured into the region, its vast human resources and all of its opportunities for change, the mess the Middle East has made of itself is stunning. http://www.nypost.com/php/pfriendly/print.php?url=http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/cradle_of_hate_opedcolumnists_ralph_peters.htm

Ralph Peters’ fog of confusion on Islam Muhammad commanded his followers to wage war against unbelievers who refused to convert to Islam, and to subjugate them as dhimmis (Sahih Muslim 4294). When did Jesus ever say anything like that?  http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=16968

Constitution day – Walter Williams Constitutionally ignorant people might argue that the Constitution's "general welfare" clause justifies today's actions by Congress. Here's what James Madison said: "If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions." Thomas Jefferson echoed, in a letter to Pennsylvania Rep. Albert Gallatin, "Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated."  http://www.townhall.com/columnists/WalterEWilliams/2006/09/13/constitution_day

The New Nomenklatura – Thomas Sowell -There were 79,000 blacks living in San Francisco in 1990 and 46,000 today. So many people with children are leaving these bastions of liberal Democratic environmentalists as to force many schools in these counties to close.  http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell090606.php3
