Bush should thank lazy, illiterate liberals! I was interested in how true is the idea that Democrats lose votes because people sympathetic to their views are less likely to vote, and due to high school dropouts not voting as much. Here's the breakdown of the percent who voted in the presidential election in 2000: Percent voting in 2000 Extremely liberal 60.2% Liberal 61.8 Slightly liberal 67.2 Moderates 59.9 Slightly conservative 70.2 Conservative 74.2 Extremely conservative 70.5 Look at the lazy liberals! God bless 'em! They are no more likely to vote than moderates. I was told that liberals are the...

The Davinsky Code By Jeff Dunetz The story of a 2,000 year-old scroll and a secretive society that continues to operate within Jewry Almost 2000 years ago, a clandestine society was formed in what is now Iran. Since it was created, the group, called Opus Vey, has operated as a kind of shadow Sanhedrin, debating and creating revisions to Jewish law. Today the group still exists, run by direct descendants of the founders who set up the Society. I found out about Opus Vey when some friends sent me copies of recently uncovered documents from the group. These documents talk...

I’m sure many of you are too young, and the rest of you probably don’t remember the moment when Senator McCarthy’s putrid career came to an end. I remember it as if it were yesterday; I was a college student at Northeastern University, a cooperative college where you work at a course-related job for several weeks and then go to school for several weeks. I happened to be working at my co-op job at Dennison Manufacturing Company in Framingham, Massachusetts, where the company maintained a recreation area for their employees. We were at lunch watching the Army-McCarthy hearings on TV...

It was a beautiful spring evening just after work and I was walking the few blocks to where my car was parked. I noticed a gentleman that I had met just a week or so prior, on a previous hike out to our parked cars. The first time we met he was walking with another acquaintance of mine and we barley exchanged names, but at least I knew I had met him before. This time would be different.

The crew at Pow3rline points us to this exceptional shredding of Erica Jong at, of all places, the Huffington Post. "1. Are you allowed to drive a car? Y/N 2. Must you be accompanied at all times in public by a male escort? Y/N 3. If you were to say "what the hell" and drive to the mall by yourself, would you be immediately surrounded by bat-wielding male police officers? Y/N 4. Could you be beaten for saying “what the hell”? Y/N 5. When you go outside on a hot summer day, can you wear shorts and a t-shirt? Y/N...

James Robbins in the National Review explains the media's field day with one phrase from the 600-page report on U.S. intelligence. Although the report was wide-ranging and discussed many important intelligence issues, including an underestimation of al Qaeda's WMD program and a failure to note how strongly bin Laden wanted to acquire and use radiological weapons, the media focused solely on the words "dead wrong," in regards to Iraq's WMD intelligence. It is pretty clear to everyone that for decades now, our intelligence capabilities have been slowly destroyed, a process which only accelerated during the Reno-Deutch-Gorelick-Berger years of the Clinton...

Hello all, I am very low on conservative perspective (in terms of news, religion, etc), and the stranglehold some Libertarians and Liberals have on what should be open-to-all dialogue is disgusting on my debate site. Please offer any perspective you can: Conservative Debate Opinions Needed

A jury in Boston convicted former priest Paul Shanley of child rape last week. The testimony of the lone accuser to take the stand was based on repressed memories recovered only after the initial allegations against Shanley first surfaced in 2002. Three other men had earlier claimed that they too were sexually abused by Shanley, but their cases were dropped by the prosecution. The defense only called one witness: Elizabeth Loftus, one of the nation's leaders in the fight to discredit repressed memories. Her high profile role has brought her praise and criticism. To some she is "a hired gun...
