‘Is Mitt Minding The Store?’
  Election 2012 piece by Aaron Goldstein (1/31/12)

Mitt Romney’s performance in last Thursday’s GOP debate in Jacksonville was widely praised for his assertiveness against Newt Gingrich and it may have effectively neutralized the former House Speaker’s victory five days earlier in South Carolina. If Romney earns a decisive victory in Florida, it could prove to be the turning point in winning the Republican nomination. But his debate performance should have instead raised a big red flag.

Correctly Framing the 2012 Elections
  Election 2012 piece by Christopher G. Adamo (12/29/11)

As the nation lurches into the 2012 election season, the propagandists of the liberal media have gone into high gear. Their singular job is to prevent the American people from correctly assessing the precarious condition of their country, what needs to be done about it and, most dangerously of all, who among the major Republican contenders could best assume the helm of the nation’s government in order to implement a proper course of action.

Evidence, finally, of Democrat naivete
  Useful Idiots piece by Gary Krasner (12/22/11)

Democrats created what they thought was a good wedge issue in foreign policy, and since about 2006 or so----after the Iraq war became sufficiently unpopular----they advanced it in the form of the mantra, “we must talk to our enemies.”

Topeka, Kansas, Unified School District 501 Places Sexual Deviancy on Its Curriculum
  Edukshun piece by Paul A. Ibbetson (11/26/11)

What part should schools play in the personal development of our children? Most parents naturally expect teachers and administrative staff to assist their children in learning important skills like reading, writing, and arithmetic, but we now know a child’s development goes far beyond the basics at school. Upon closer inspection, most parents recognize that schools often teach children additional skills, such as how to interact with others, follow rules, think critically, and in many cases, develop career aspirations for what their Mom’s and Dad’s hope will be a bright and happy future. All this instruction is positive and benefits our children. However, there is more still that students will learn.

School-Sponsored Smut
  Edukshun piece by AccuracyInMedia: Bethany Stotts (3/12/08)

A new genre has been added to the list of promoted high school literature: racist gay porn. Deerfield High School of Deerfield, Illinois decided to integrate the Pulitzer Award-winning play, Angels in America: a Gay Fantasia On National Themes into its curriculum. The play features pervasive swearing, graphic sexual content, bigoted remarks, and involves sexual experiences profaning both angels and the Mother Theresa. If high schools are sensitive about assigning Mark Twain’s great classic, Huckleberry Finn, due to its pejorative language, then why is Deerfield High promoting Angels in America?

Sinisterism and Radical Islam
  Terrorism piece by Bruce Walker (3/11/08)

What, historically, do Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists and Fascists have in common?  Evil, of course, is one answer.  But there is more to it than that.  These evil systems have common elements: (1) rejection of the ethical monotheism of Jews and Christians; (2) embrace of brutal totalitarianism; (3) the sort of cannibalism that was the show trials of Stalin or Hitler’s Night of the Long Knives; (4) dishonesty celebrated as virtue; (5) profession of some variation of socialism.

Facts We Are Supposed To Ignore About Barack Obama
  Elections piece by Dave Gibson (3/11/08)

Obama’s fan club in the mainstream news media has abandoned all basic tenets of journalism, in favor of protecting a candidate whose own supporters cannot name any of his accomplishments. Despite his lack of experience and many troubling issues surrounding Obama, our liberal press has joined his campaign and now hope that we will be so taken with his rock star status that we too will ignore the facts.

Parenting with heart in the heartland
  Edukshun piece by Ari Kaufman (3/10/08)

Families and teachers make sure the kids behave - Growing up in a coastal “liberal” family, most of my friends shared similar, ignorant views on what those strict parents in the so-called “heartland” were all about. After my brief teaching career in Los Angeles, I moved to that heartland, where I now work as a freelance writer and full-time researcher for Indiana’s War Memorials. I am the only Jewish employee in my office and the only transplant from either coast.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s “Grand Jihad” in Toledo
  Terrorism piece by OffSite (3/10/08)

It might only be the shores of Lake Erie, but the Muslim Brotherhood has established an invasion beachhead in Toledo. The most recent landing by the international Islamic extremist organization was last weekend when the Muslim American Society (MAS) - the ideological arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the US, identified as such by the Department of Justice in a court filing back in December - held a conference at the University of Toledo. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the Department of Homeland Security recently added Toledo to the list of high-risk terrorism areas.

No Room for Christianity in the Religion of the Left
  Progressivism piece by Dennis Campbell (3/10/08)

“The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.” --Ann Douglas

‘Different Rules for Oprah - New Age Baseball?’
  General piece by Michael Bresciani (3/10/08)

In the US the justice system is symbolized by the blindfolded women with the scale in her hand. We hope justice is blind and no respecter of persons but as it pertains to celebrities it seems the blindfold may be made of a very flimsy see through cloth.

Being ‘Poor’ A New Qualification for Denver’s ‘Gifted’ School Programs
  Edukshun piece by Warner Todd Huston (3/10/08)

The Denver Post(1) gave us a fine example—not that they meant to—of why every year our schools are turning out more semi-literate kids with over inflated egos. To the Post, of course, it’s all good news that being poor in the Denver School Districts now qualifies a kid to be placed in the “gifted students” programs. To the Post this new classification “makes things more equitable” in those gifted programs. Why, it’s giving minorities a “lift,” you see? Of course, there isn’t a word out of anyone in Denver if whether or not any of these kids suddenly classified as “gifted” students actually have any gifts that might prove them worthy of their politically motivated status.

Chose Your Venue For Posting
  Elections piece by Malcolm T. Hedges (3/8/08)

It’s a given, if your wish to post a piece it’s a good idea to consider if your offering will result in Progressive “censorship” of your piece and/or the general content of that site.

Preserving the Constitution
  Elections piece by J.J. Jackson (3/8/08)

Following her primary victories over rival Barack Obama on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton proclaimed, “We’re going to protect our country and preserve our Constitution. We’re going to lead with our values.” So, once again Clinton has said two different things at the same time. Sort of like when she didn’t support supporting her non-support for her support of driver’s licenses for illegals.
