Thanks for your great posts over the years.

The problem is that 95% of the mass media reports Democratic National Committee faxed press releases as breaking news. Fox News and the alternate media like Free Republic provide a balanced news outlet to an amazing small, albeit growing audience of individuals capable of independent thinking.

The the 1996 Church Fire Scare is one of many, many hoaxes and pseudo-crises from the left.

These hoaxes also include day care center abuse and Satanism charges, Alar-poisoned apples, the amazing disappearing (1992-2000) homeless crisis, and the current orchestrated campaign to destroy the Catholic priesthood.

You know, just imagine if the FBI under Clinton had been as zealous in going after real threats (i.e. Muslim terrorists), the 2,800 people who died in WTC/Pentagon attacks might still be alive.

This is more evidence that it is the left that is the ultimate domestic threat to our national survival. They have created a climate where the only group that can be vilified and "racially profiled" to prevent violence are whites, while potential Muslim terrorists cannot be profiled. Indeed, little in the culture makes it possible to even look with suspicion on anyone other than whites.

We've met the enemy--and we are them.

It's hard to believe five years ago I'd never heard of this place...

Good list. The Reagan "ketchup as a vegetable" flap could also be added.
