Are Female Politicians Other-Centered?
Femi-Nazis
Carey Roberts
A few years ago Marie Wilson, director of the White House Project, made the remarkable claim that female politicians lead “from an other-centered perspective,” while those Neanderthal male pols tend to be “self-centered.”
American Companies Continue To Betray Us
Immigration
Dave Gibson
Last Week, Bank of America began offering credit cards to illegal aliens without Social Security numbers in 51 Los Angeles branches. While the issue of unchecked illegal immigration threatens to destroy this nation, Bank of America has placed yet another reward before those who invade our country. Whether it is selling out U.S. workers, our laws, or sovereignty--the list of American companies willing to do so is growing long.
IMBRA: Time To End Feminist Destruction Of Marriage and Free Speech
Femi-Nazis
David R. Usher
Feminists’ success destroying marriage in America, and exporting it to many foreign nations via the United Nations under the guise of “Democracy” is now legendary. Feminist victim-politics - in which demands for “equal rights” mask powerful agenda mandating unequal wrongs - must be ended.
Global Warming? Journalism? Don’t Make Me Laugh!
GlobalWarming
Alan Caruba
As a very young man, fresh out of college and the army in the mid-1960’s, I found myself employed as a rookie reporter on a weekly newspaper in New Jersey. I had never taken a course in journalism in my life, but I could write. The managing editor of the newspaper group that serviced a number of communities taught me all I ever needed to know about journalism. He taught me to be skeptical of everything and everyone.
2008: Gun Control Candidates Need Not Apply
Elitists
John Longenecker
For the American electorate, candidates who commit to the nationwide concealed carry bills and who see them signed into law will show a deeper respect for citizens and the law of the land than gun control obsessives can. It could be a winning issue.

February & Fatwah: Osama Cites US War on Iraq as Casus Belli

It’s February, and in keeping with that, Osama Bin Laden declared war on the United States:
Ten (plus) Unanswered Questions for Hillary
Demercrats
Tom Fitton
Remember all of those “old” Clinton-era scandals? Well, now that Hillary Clinton is a candidate for President of the United States, what’s old is new. These scandals are more than relevant as the American people decide just what kind of president Hillary Clinton will make. Judicial Watch, of course, neither supports nor opposes candidates for public office. Hillary is free to run for president. But Americans are free to ask the tough questions and to hold her to account for her past crimes and ethical transgressions.
AP: TV Turns Soldiers Into Torturers
Progressivism
Warner Todd Huston
The AP has found a new way to attack TV’s 24. They say that because of the depiction of character Jack Bauer’s, shall we say, short-cuts in interrogating prisoners his ways have now infected the US Military. Absurdly, the AP is advancing the case, in “Does Jack Bauer Influence Interrogators?"(1), that “there are indications that real-life American interrogators in Iraq are taking cues from what they see on television.”
No Child Let Ahead
EdukShun
Dr. Keith Lockitch
Irvine, CA--With the No Child Left Behind Act up for reauthorization, critics are pointing out that it is preventing gifted children from advancing ahead. Because the act forces states to ensure that the weakest students are not left behind, it has dried up funding for programs intended to challenge the strongest.
Chavez’s Disastrous Nationalization Plan
Progressivism
Dr. Yaron Brook
Irvine, CAVenezuelan president Hugo Chavez has recently announced plans to nationalize utilities and telecommunications companies.
In Praise of Steven and Janet
General
Bruce Walker
In praise of ...who? In praise of Steven and Janet, two children of God who know that they are children of God, two people who understand the concept of sin and spend their lives seeking God’s help in fighting the sin which we all have within us and the sin around us in our lives, two decent and kind people whose names I will not reveal, except to say that they are two real, living people.
Woody’s Feminist Biographer
General
Bernard Chapin
For whatever reason, Woody Allen was a great hero of my youth. I saw every film of his that I could, and eagerly anticipated his seemingly non-stop new releases. Maybe it was due to my being enthralled by New York City or maybe I was addicted to his comedy or maybe I just loved the fact that a fellow juvenile had found a way to become rich and famous. Regardless, I have always been interested in him which caused to purchase a biography called The Unruly Life of Woody Allen. It was my hope that Marion Meade’s book would provide a critical and unvarnished examination of this controversial figure. Initially, I was quite sure that it had due its fact-filled, brisk, and concise narrative. Ms. Meade is a talented biographer and writer. She cites a plethora of primary sources who offer up unique and important observations about this cinematographic legend. Allen’s enigmatic personality is dissected in full, and, after finishing it, his oeuvre makes considerably more sense as there seems to be little truly fictional about his storylines.

Chopra on the Chopping Block
EdukShun
Tom Patterson
Teachers’ union punishes success - Dr. Raj Chopra has made a career of turning around failing schools. In 2001, the Phoenix Union High School District graduation rate was a dismal 55 percent. Seven of the 10 high schools were rated “underperforming”. By 2006, the graduation rate had climbed to 72 percent and all 10 high schools were ranked “performing plus.”
Taxing Social Security & Pensions Is Criminal
Big Brother
Gordon Bishop
This is for all of you over-65 “seasoned” citizens trying to survive on your monthly Social Security, pensions and savings in an era of continuing inflation that diminishes the value of money every year.
Political Correctness: The Ultimate Gag order
Progressivism
James T. Moore
Where did this strange animal Political Correctness (PC) come from? Never in our history have we had to be afraid of what we say, write, and do.
