How the "Right" to an Education Destroys Children's Education
The "right" to an education requires a massive government-controlled public-school system to enforce that right. But it is this same public-school system that cripples the education and lives of millions of children. So, ironically, the alleged right to an education is the worst thing we can offer our children…. Only a fiercely-competitive free-market education system can give kids the quality, low-cost education they deserve.

Socialism for the rich – Thomas Sowell Although socialism has long claimed to be for the poor, it has probably done more damage, on net balance, to the poor than to the rich. After all, the rich have enough money to leave the country if they think the socialists are going to do them any serious harm. …"Developer" is a cuss word to those who wax indignant in their righteous zeal to keep other people out. Why can't these money-grubbing developers just inherit money, like so many of the upscale idealists? http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/ThomasSowell/2006/10/03/socialism_for_the_rich

Court upholds Nazi era ban on home schooling -A new ruling from the European Human Rights Court has affirmed the German nation's Nazi-era ban on homeschooling, concluding that society has a significant interest in preventing the development of dissent through "separate philosophical convictions." … German families are facing persecution for trying to educate their children in a Christian atmosphere without exposing them to the state’s harmful secular values, especially sex education. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52209

Look to the Webb campaign for the real racists – Star Parker Dredging up aspersions to question an opponent's character is now a common part of this sleazy business. It doesn't matter whether there is truth to allegations or not. Once an aspersion is made, even if it is never substantiated, the public perception of a man or woman is forever impacted. Even when incontrovertible evidence is brought to bear that the allegations are pure garbage, the shadow of the allegations remains. …Today race is not an issue that is raised out of concern for the exploited. It is raised to exploit. The objective of the Webb campaign is to slander Allen and generate mistrust. There is no issue here about protecting black interests. …Voters should understand that today's real racists are those who choose to play political games while blacks languish as a growing underclass in America's cities. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/StarParker/2006/10/02/look_to_the_webb_campaign_for_the_real_racists

The importance of the election in terms of judges – Prelutzky Anything that puts Democrats even an inch closer to appointing federal judges should be more than enough reason to get every right-winger off the couch and down to his polling place. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/BurtPrelutsky/2006/10/02/a_judge_who_deserves_to_be_benched

Quietly, Quietly Building the North American Union
While ordinary Americans were reflecting on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, globalists of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico were making their way quietly, quietly, to Banff, Alberta for the North American Forum held at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel Sept. 12–14. The meeting was closed-doors. According to some reports buses with attendees were arriving at night. There was no print media coverage in the U.S. and very little in Canada.....

The telltale scratching in the box – Marvin Olasky "The Post's policy is not to report about a politician's sexual orientation unless it is relevant to a news story." Some American leaders have been libertines, but others have stood personally and philosophically for both liberty and virtue -- and the choice of leaders makes an enormous difference. … reporters should maximize the information voters have and let them decide whom they wish to trust. Left uninformed, we tend to react with outrage when we hear about scandals: "Why didn't someone tell us?" http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MarvinOlasky/2006/10/05/the_telltale_scratching_in_the_box

Who knew Congressman Foley was a closeted Democrat? Ann Coulter This is the very definition of political opportunism. If Republicans had decided to spy on Foley for sending overly friendly e-mails to pages, Democrats would have been screaming about a Republican witch-hunt against gays. But if they don't, they're enabling a sexual predator.

Talk to us Monday. Either we'll be furious that Republicans violated the man's civil rights, or we'll be furious that they didn't. .http://www.townhall.com/columnists/AnnCoulter/2006/10/04/who_knew_congressman_foley_was_a_closeted_democrat

A tribute to Helen Chenoweth – Chuck Baldwin http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin325.htm

Racial preferences – Walter Williams During South Africa's apartheid era, white labor unions that would never have a black as a member were the major supporters of minimum wages for blacks. Their stated intention was to protect white workers from competition with low-wage black workers. …In the U.S., the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931 (still on the books), a super minimum wage law, was enacted to protect unionized white construction workers from competition with black workers. …Minimum or maximum prices are one of the most effective ways to encourage people to indulge their preferences, be they racial or any other preference. In general, any kind of economic regulation that restricts peaceable, voluntary exchange has the capacity to lower the costs of preference indulgence. Decent people should be against such regulations. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/WalterEWilliams/2006/10/04/discrimination,_prejudice_and_preferences

Al Qaida Leaders Fear Losing War on Terror - Several declassified al-Qaida documents -- one discovered after the June 2006 air strike that killed al-Qaida's Iraqi emir, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- strongly suggest al-Qaida's leaders fear they are losing the War on Terror. …Al-Qaida's leaders also fear they are losing the war for hearts and minds. Atiyah senses a souring of "the hearts of the people toward us." Al-Qaida has long sanctioned the murder of Muslim opponents it labels "corrupt" and apostate. However, Atiyah indicates Zarqawi's terror in Iraq has backfired. Atiyah says killing the popular "corrupt" is "against all of the fundamentals of politics and leadership." He warns "against all acts that alienate."  http://www.townhall.com/columnists/AustinBay/2006/10/04/al-qaidas_narrative_of_doubt

What is Private Property?
This degradation is occurring as the United Nations rapidly advances its biodiversity-based “Agenda 21” in the United States. Cloaked in terms of “Sustainable Development” with its components “Smart Growth” and the Wildlands Project, Agenda 21 seeks to transform America while eliminating the middle class. It plans to reach these goals on several fronts: by restructuring.....
