Daughters and granddaughters of the women who started the sexual revolution of the 60s have tossed aside what remained of sexual taboos.  Gloria Steinam must be tickled pink.  Just check out what’s going on with the younger generation and you’ll get the picture.  Only the picture is not a pretty one.

Taking it to the limit - How far down a broken glass-filled path would you travel if you were barefoot? How long could you eat contaminated meals before you suffered food poisoning? How far could you travel in the desert without water? How long would you last driving your car 100 miles per hour in a 40 mph zone in a city? How far are you willing to take anything to the limit? 

Memo to the national Democratic Party: Having a reputedly Hezbollah-supporting imam lead you in a Muslim-based spiritual and political prayer does not support your contentions that your values better reflect true Christianity than those of Republicans and that you support the troops. 

Note: AIM editor Cliff Kincaid covered a left-wing National Conference for Media Reform in Memphis, Tennessee, from January 12-14. His report on the event, “The Plan to Silence Conservatives,” was posted on the AIM website and has ignited a national controversy, as a liberal Democrat scheme to use the power of the federal government to silence conservatives in the media has now been exposed. AIM is being called upon to lead national efforts to preserve freedom of speech in the U.S. and resist this authoritarian campaign to muzzle conservative media voices.

What do Osama bin Laden, Muqtada al Sadr, Hezbollah and Iran have in common with America’s Democrats? They all want an American retreat, defeat, and surrender in Iraq.  When an American political party aligns itself with the goals, hopes, and ambitions of America’s enemies in a time of war, in my view there is only one word for it - Treason. 

Robert Humphrey, a Marine rifle platoon commander in the 1945 battle for Iwo Jima, had seen the worst the world had to offer. But to him, the lesson was not only the cruelty of war, but also the ethics of the warrior. The Japanese had twisted the moral code of “Bushido” into a philosophy of hate and intolerance. In contrast, Humphrey’s experiences inspired him to write a creed, for American warriors then and forever more: “Wherever I walk, everyone is a little bit safer because I am there. Wherever I am, anyone in need has a friend. Whenever I return home, everyone is happy I am there. It’s a better life!” In the global war on terror, America’s warriors have to apply that ethic to an enemy that has arisen from yet another culture, with a code of warfare of his own. In our new Counterinsurgency (i.e., “COIN") Field Manual we are adapting tactics and training to better enable individual soldiers and Marines to perform COIN operations. The new training will include powerful cross-cultural conflict resolution skills; wider ranges of armed and unarmed martial arts capabilities, and have at its core a strong ethics element.

NAZI Germany, Bolshevik Russia, Apartheid South Africa, the Iranian Revolution...it’s not hard to find extreme examples of entire nations that have been misled.  The problem is that pointing out when a nation is actually being misled is very hard to do until it’s too late, and the extreme has been reached.  The United States of America no longer suffers from the problem of deciding whether or not she is being misled.

In previous articles, I have referred to U.S. Minister to Austria John Motley’s 1861 expose of a conspiracy to break apart the U.S., creating a Gulf Empire with “unlimited Negroes” (slaves) producing unlimited cheap products. The same principle of economic slavery is at work today in Third World countries and is not dissimilar to what John D. Rockefeller used in the late 19th century, as men literally underbid each other to obtain employment from monopolists in the U.S.

Who would our Founders endorse for president today? What would they look for in elected officials?

I had postponed seeing Clinton Eastwood’s new movie, “Letters From Iwo Jima,” for the simple reason that the critics liked it. By and large, they are an even more daft bunch than the people who make the movies. They gave the film the National Board of Review’s “best picture” award and helped goose it on for an Oscar nod.

Dick Morris, the political columnist who formerly advised President Bill Clinton, expects John McCain to fade from the presidential race due to his “liberal” stances, and thinks Hillary Clinton is a Nixon-like character who “lies about everything.”

FEBRUARY 7--Bankrupt and about to lose Al Franken, its marquee star, Air America Radio is set to change hands for the bargain price of $4.25 million, according to new court documents.

A sure sign that opponents of the academic freedom movement are getting desperate is when they cease trying to dispute the central issue—that higher education has been corrupted by sectarian ideologies and partisan politics—in order to make political hay of technicalities.

An astounding range of absurd ideas have been incorporated into the “mainstream” of modern America, based not on any inherent merit, but rather on the benefits to liberalism that can be derived from them. So much of today’s “conventional wisdom” represents neither convention nor wisdom, but instead results from a fundamentally leftist worldview, combined with a truly juvenile dosage of wishful thinking.

A “continuing resolution” may be legislative procrastination at its most dangerous. By a continuing resolution Congress defers appropriating funds to operate the Federal Government for the next Fiscal Year (October 1 - September 30). Congress thereby buys and bides time and prolongs indecision simply by continuing into the applicable fiscal year (which often already has begun) the appropriations which became law for the prior fiscal year.
