Eight Homeless Youth Die in Fire: What Does it Say About the U.S.?

By Bill Quigley

Will we look into our abandoned buildings and look into the eyes of our abandoned daughters and sons and sisters and brothers?

The Trials of Henry Kissinger

Video Documentary

"A fascinating, bombshell documentary that should shame Americans, regardless of whether or not ultimate blame finally lies with Kissinger. Should be required viewing for civics classes and would-be public servants alike."

Enemy Within The Gates

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

The enemy has always done its best and most efficient work from within. At this point, I am reminded of what America's most celebrated jurist, Daniel Webster, once said, "There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter: from the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence. I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may........

Patriotism as political correctness

EconLog
by Bryan Caplan

12/29/10

Political correctness isn't just hypersensitivity; it's hypersensitivity designed to place a permanent stamp on impressionable young minds. From this perspective, political correctness isn't essentially leftist. Indeed, with the benefit of hindsight, leftist political correctness hasn't been all that effective. The full-blown triumph of political correctness, of hypersensitivity plus one-sided education, is patriotism...

Why criticizing American foreign policy is not anti-Americanism

Liberty For All
by Sean Gabb

12/29/10

Are the Americans greater today than before 1917 or 1898? In the military sense, they are so undoubtedly. But every step towards world domination has been at the expense of the qualities that underpin their general greatness. Their government has become more distant and opaque, more centralised and more open to capture by special interests. It has repeatedly violated the old Constitution. Liberties have been abridged on the grounds of dealing with emergencies, and then never restored. America has been at war almost throughout the whole of the past century -- at war with other countries, or at war with abstractions like 'drugs' or 'terrorism.' As everywhere else, war has been the health of the State and the sickness of the people. If the Americans today remain the freest people in the world, that is only because they started with so much more to lose...

Attack tyranny at its weakest link: enforcement

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Kevin Carson

12/29/10

Liberal goo-goos and 'good citizens' of all stripes are fond of saying that 'We must continue to obey the law while we work to change it.' Every day I become more convinced that this approach gets things precisely backwards. Each day?s news demonstrates the futility of attempts at legislative reform, compared to direct action to make the laws unenforceable...

The unthinking right

LewRockwell.Com
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

12/30/10

Let's talk about weird. What's weird is the world of National Review where it troubles no one to call for huge spending cuts and slashing government at the domestic level while defending the worst form of global imperialism abroad, complete with reflexive defenses of every violation of human rights and liberty. In what sense can these people claim to favor freedom?

Harmful US hypocrisy on freedoms abroad

Christian Science Monitor
by Sarah Trister

12/28/10

Times are tough for organizations around the world working on sensitive issues such as human rights, governance, religious freedom, and humanitarian aid. As individual human rights and political liberties have declined over the past few years, governments worldwide have also restricted the capabilities of independent nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), preventing them from operating freely, or at all...

Skipping down the road to serfdom

Strike The Root Strike the Root
by Duane Colyar

Put aside for just a moment the visions of goose-stepping soldiers and horrific crimes against humanity, for at its core fascism is a type of political economy which, as was the case in fascist Italy, does not have to feature a landscape dotted with crematoria. As with pure socialism, however, fascism must become more and more authoritarian with harsh penalties for those who don?t comply or who challenge the status quo, for an economy can be controlled only by controlling people...

The Downsize DC Agenda: Part 2 of our memo to our Congressional sponsors

Downsize DC Downsize DC
by Jim Babka

12/29/10

Ignorance of the law is no excuse for citizens. Neither should it be permitted to Congress. With great power comes great responsibility. Representatives have a fiduciary responsibility to read every word of every law that they seek to impose on the people they claim to serve. The obligations imposed on public servants must always be greater than those imposed on citizens...
