If the political correctors had their way . . .‘Founding Fathers’ forbiddenEnd of an error: Hate propaganda finally banned from the classroomBY DAVID BERGSTEINTHE EMASCULATED PRESS WASHINGTON—In a stunning blow against the wicked vast right-wing conspiracy, the Supreme Court today banned from public schools all discussion of an obscure 18th-century militia hate group, the so-called Founding Fathers. Although the Founding Fathers have been all but forgotten--the most widely used textbooks barely mention them--experts nevertheless applauded the ban as the official close of an ugly chapter in American history. “It’s a symbolic victory more than anything else,” said Irv Weisenasser, who ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Clinton Thursday said the time was ripe for new approaches to achieving Middle East peace, but added he did not want to discuss them before he met Israeli Prime Minister-elect Ehud Barak. ``I do think that the time is ripe, but I think that before I advance publicly any ideas I should have a chance to meet with the prime minister-elect, Mr. Barak,'' Clinton said at a news conference with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Clinton said he aimed to meet Barak within days, but National Security Adviser Sandy Berger later said the meeting would actually ...

The recent news from Texas and Silicon Valley indicate we need to import technical help, and GW indicated we need to relax immigration for more trained people. What has happened to the Government run school system in this country?? There should be no problem from a country that developed the A bomb and fought two wars at the same time within the time I remember. We need the school system to look at READING WRITING AND ARITHMITIC, then computers in every class room after 9th grade.

At the conclusion of the Senate impeachment trial of President William Jefferson Clinton, Human Events listed Rep. Chris Cannon (R.-Utah) among the true "heroes" of that cause for his fearlessness in confronting Democrat demagogues and for his uncowering commitment to the Constitution.

Cannon, who is in his second term, represents the vast 3rd District of Utah. He ...

[First published , in The Washington Times under the title: “Where Lincoln erred”] Lincoln had it wrong. You can fool all the people all the time. The use of old maps, we are told, caused the destruction of China’s embassy in Belgrade. Really? In 1961, my wife and I watched a German television documentary about the capabilities of the U.S. Air Force. Among other things, they showed footage of a parking lot outside Cologne Cathedral, photographed from the stratosphere through fairly thick clouds. You could clearly distinguish a Volkswagen Beetle from an Opel or a Mercedes. That was reality as ...
