<!-- a{text-decoration:none} //-->     Land of the Free, Home of the Slave by Steven Greenhutby Steven Greenhut America is such a wonderfully free country that I thoroughly understand why the Bush administration, like the Clinton administration before it, is so eager to take our freedoms and spread them across the globe. Without the U.S. government, backwards peoples will have to labor on in their own delusions, never understanding what true liberty is all about. I am so free. If I want to paint my house, or build a deck out back, or install a new air-conditioning system, I am...

Tuesday, June 3, 2003 Bill would erase race terms from law By Shelley Davis Enquirer Columbus Bureau COLUMBUS - Calling the language intolerable, a Cincinnati lawmaker is attempting to remove references to "colored persons," "white persons," and "Negroes" from Ohio law. State Sen. Mark Mallory, D-Cincinnati, will introduce legislation today that he says will bring Ohio's law books into the 21st century. "A lot of times when we change laws we might not always update the language used in the code," Mallory said Monday. "These terms are considered to be offensive and it just doesn't make sense in this...

"U. of Mass. Mascot, ''Minutemen,'' Offensive to Some" Posted by the ChronWatch Founder, Jim Sparkman Thursday, May 08, 2003 Ron Chimelis, writing in the Amherst Republican, tells us of the campaign to change the University of Massachusetts nickname for tis sport's teams. It seems the current name, the Minutemen, is offensive to some. AMHERST - Having stood up bravely to the British more than 200 years ago, the Minuteman is finding he may be no match for 21st century political correctness and marketing savvy at the University of Massachusetts. By September, the UMass Gray Wolves men's and women's teams may be charging onto...

The forceful resurgence of the Christian right in America in the early 1980s paved the way for the post-Carter conservative renaissance in America. Hurray for the home team! But it has led to a fetishism of the Republican Party and a mum's-the-word approach to criticism of GOP presidents. As this relates to the ongoing...

War and Freedom by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. Concerning the Bush foreign policy, I'm not sure that most libertarians – to say nothing of most Americans – have considered the full extent of what we are dealing with here. The other night on television Bush promised war against Iraq, and war-crimes trials for any Iraqi military leader who follows orders, if Iraq failed to meet a series of demands. One of them is as follows: Iraq "must stop all illicit trade outside the oil-for-food program."   Consider what this means. The US is threatening total war against a country...

News Worthy Additional Titles WHERE HAVE ALL THE 'MEN' GONE?  By Devvy KiddJune 5, 2002NewsWithViews.comMy comments here exclude those men who have stepped forward with incredible courage since 1913 to face this tyrannical government, and like our Founding Fathers, have paid an enormous price both personally and financially. People like Bill Benson, our fine gentlemen down in the great State of Tennessee and too many others to list.Americans forget that the Founding Fathers were the "moneyed class" back then. They were farmers, merchants and men of means. They had a lot to lose, both in land and gold. Yet, they...

<!-- a{text-decoration:none} //--> dd   Universal World Civilization Syllabusby Joseph R. Stromberg UNESCO approval pending. Note: I taught history for eight or so years, part time, in a sleepy community college in a sleepy place near beaches. By the time I was doing this, "Western Civilization" had given way to "World Civilizations," a much friendlier concept. The textbooks began including more and more chapters on Asia, Africa, and the Americas than was traditional. Faced with students who knew nothing at all – they were products of American high schools, after all – and were unlikely to learn 30% more...

&nbsp; Honest Money, Not Fiat Money by Congressman Ron Paul, MD Statement on the Financial Services committee's "Views and Estimates for Fiscal Year 2003" Supporters of limited, constitutional government and free markets will find little, if anything, to view favorably in the Financial Services committee's "Views and Estimates for Fiscal Year 2003." Almost every policy endorsed in this document is unconstitutional and a threat to the liberty and prosperity of the American people. For example, this document gives an unqualified endorsement to increased taxpayer support for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN). According to the committee, these increased funds ...

dd &nbsp; Opinion Despotism by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. Permit me some observations on a very strange but revealing piece by Tunku Vardarajan in the Wall Street Journal. The hook for his commentary is the claim of Pat Robertson that Islam &quot;is not a peaceful religion that wants to coexist... They want to coexist until they can control, dominate, and then if need be destroy.&quot; Vardarajan says that this is a &quot;defensible message&quot; but it is &quot;vitiated&quot; by its messenger who &quot;has a history of intemperance and bigotry.&quot; As proof, Vardarajan cites the fact that Robertson went on to ...
