Election Advice from Liberals
Written by Bob Dill, Publisher   
Aug 01, 2007 at 12:00 AM

I wonder if conservative Republicans are paying attention to the advice they are getting from liberal reporters and other opinion formers on the left.

We are being told that there are no conservative Republican candidates who can be elected, get the nomination or even get in the double digits in the opinion polls. Are we buying that contrived party line of propaganda?

Freedom's Greatest Threat
Written by Chuck Baldwin   
Aug 01, 2007 at 12:00 AM
Most of us who believe in the free enterprise system have been taught that business interests normally work to the betterment of America's overall health, both commercially and politically. While there might have been a time when this was true, it is definitely not true today. Not only has Big Business become unfriendly to the principles of freedom, it has also become freedom's greatest threat.

Is Ron Paul Vulnerable On Foreign Policy?
Written by Stephen Yates   
Aug 01, 2007 at 12:00 AM

Ron Paul is the one Republican in the race for the 2008 nomination who was against the Iraq War from the get-go. He believes—on grounds rooted in Christian just war theory rooted in St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas—that the Iraq War was wrong, in addition to being unconstitutional. He is also notorious, in some circles at least, for his “blowback” remark explaining why we were attacked on 9/11.

Government Arrogance Is Out Of Control!
Written by Chuck Baldwin   
Jul 25, 2007 at 12:00 AM

I sat dumbfounded as I watched U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton defend his prosecution of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean in a recent interview with CNN's Lou Dobbs. To just about anyone who knows anything about this case, the prosecution and subsequent imprisonment of these two agents (who were simply attempting to enforce our nation's immigration and drug laws) is an unfathomable miscarriage of justice.

What I Missed By Being Homeschooled
Written by Raquelle Sheen   
Jul 25, 2007 at 12:00 AM

A common fear about homeschooling is that home-schooled children are going to “miss out” on critical opportunities. They might get a fairly decent academic education, but alas! Their lives will regrettably be stunted due to the lack of appropriate social exposure.

The “Sleeping Giant” is Yawning
Written by Bob Dill, Publisher   
Jul 18, 2007 at 12:00 AM

Those Americans who get their news from the main-stream-media are surprised and respond with disbelief when they are informed of the existence of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) or the “NAFTA” Superhighway, or even the selling of highways, bridges, airports and other public properties to foreign investors.

The Voters Roared, The Senate Heard
Written by Phyllis Schlafly   
Jul 18, 2007 at 12:00 AM

Contrary to continuing media propaganda, the 2006 election and the killing of the Senate "comprehensive" immigration bill do NOT prove that anti-amnesty is a loser for Republicans. The Democrats who won in 2006 campaigned with Republican-rhetoric messages calling for border security, and they kept their promises in the decisive cloture vote on June 28.

Public Resources Should Be Prohibited In Lobbying Efforts Too
Written by By Randy Page   
Jul 18, 2007 at 12:00 AM

Our state's largest newspaper printed an editorial last week exhorting the State Ethics Commission to uphold the law prohibiting campaigning with state property.  Other media outlets will no doubt rightly concur and possibly offer an editorial of their own on the ills associated with such an activity.

Behind the Job Loss
Written by William F. Jasper   
Jul 11, 2007 at 12:00 AM

The accelerating exodus of American businesses and American jobs to China, Mexico, and dozens of other countries over the past two decades is unprecedented in our history. The devastating impact of this development on America’s middle class has been amplified by the simultaneous influx of millions of illegal aliens who have taken the jobs of U.S. citizens.

Book Review: The Day of Islam by Dr. Paul Williams

Dr. Paul Williams has done an excellent job researching and documenting how Islamic terrorists have obtained nuclear weapons to detonate in major cities across the U.S. in an “American Hiroshima.”  Saudi intelligence believes that Al Qaeda has forty to seventy tactical nuclear weapons, some of which were especially built for them by Soviet, Chinese and Pakistani scientists.

Illegal Immigration

President Bush and his proamnesty allies both in and out of Congress suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of the American people. Like any other public controversy, there are vested interests served on both sides of the amnesty issue, but I'd like to raise some ordinary non-rocket-science questions to the pro-amnesty crowd, many of whom are my libertarian friends.

We the People vs. Corporatist-Globalism: the Real Clash of Civilizations
Written by Stephen Yates   
Jul 11, 2007 at 12:00 AM

Back in 1996, Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington published his much-discussed The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. Huntington, a CFR member, offered an elite, “commanding heights” style perspective on the near future of the West following the end of the Soviet Union—which doesn’t mean the book isn’t worth reading (it is).
