Kids gone wild Parents should come to the realization that their children, having been raised in the entertainment age and an amoral society, are not innocent and tend to know about everything that is wrong in this world. A misconceived idea among adults is that young people are naive, when teens are anything but, and with each passing generation, the teen culture becomes less innocent. The troubles of drugs, sex, and drinking are all major matters with young people, leaving adults with more problems than solutions. An example of lack of moral sense is that of camps popping up in...

What is a conservative? by Kyle Williams What is a conservative? This is a question that has recently become an issue in the conservative movement. Many pundits have separated conservatives into two groups: paleo-conservatives and neo-conservatives. The former being described as the "old right-wing," being more constitutionally conservative, and the latter being the more moderate side of the conservative movement. As a side note, some conservative pundits say that "neo-conservative" is really code word for pro-Israel, considering the trouble that the far right has gotten into with some bashing Jews. That, however, is not the original meaning of the "neo-conservative"...

The standards of news journalism are in disarray. Media bias has been an issue for some time, but journalism loses all credibility when it fails to uphold basic standards of truthfulness. Some papers can no longer be trusted. The downward spiral of the disgraced New York Times didn't start with journalist Jayson Blair, but he certainly accelerated it. In case you've been in a coma all month, here's the rundown of what happened: Blair was taken on with the paper under the diversity program; he lied in dozens of his stories printed in the Times and was fired. The newspaper...

We all do stupid things, but we all don't write about them in a column. I am one of the few who openly wrote about a stupid thing I did. And, it seems, everyone takes notice when you make a mistake, considering the dozens of letters I have received regarding this, and even Bill Press brought it up when I appeared on "Buchanan and Press" last week. I usually don't talk or write about myself, but my conscience compels me to do so now. In my column of April 26, I wrote, "As I was walking through Barnes and Noble...

I thought Kyle Williams was going to be on O'Reilly tonight? Or is it that he is taping O'Reilly tonight to be aired tommorow night, and he is going to be a LIVE Guest Co-Host of Fox and Friends tommorow morning? I know that he was on G. Gordon Liddy and Buchanan and Press earlier today. Can anyone shed any light on this? I don't want to miss the appearances.

By David Yeagley “Children should be seen and not heard,” is the old adage, but Kyle Williams is quickly becoming both. He’s going to New York this week to be on national radio and television. If fourteen-year-old Kyle isn’t the pride and joy of Oklahoma, he soon will be. The exceptional youngster represents everything a society could want, and everything America could hope for.

The entertainment media of this nation is a major influence on Americans, most specifically the younger Americans who tend to be obsessed with movies, music and television. The negative effects of that, however, which are expected, cannot be proven scientifically. Any negative incidents that are seen as a result of the lack of reality and morality in entertainment cannot be proven, they are simply assumed. However, there are some cases around the country that clearly show the extent to which young people will imitate movies. There is one key motivation and inspiration with these four incidents, which is pretty obvious:...

On March 6, Congressman Ron Paul introduced the "American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003" – legislation that would completely sever ties to the United Nations. The proposed legislation would end our financial ties to the body, as well as so-called, "peace-keeping," missions, and the disgraceful U.N. building in New York City. Critics and supporters alike greeted the idea with little hope of success but consider it a step in the direction of greater American sovereignty. The legislation currently has 10 cosponsors, including Reps. Tom Tancredo and Roscoe Bartlett. Additionally, the "Get the U.S. Out" movement moved further into the mainstream...

The government educational system leaves much to be desired, in terms of results. This is unarguable and even the greatest supporters of government education realize this. However, the system not only fails with test scores, but also with the way it handles its students. "Zero tolerance" is a policy that always clashes with young people. You simply cannot treat all children the same for all problems. Coupled with a lack of communication and thinking, the result is disastrous. For your reading pleasure, here are some examples of the government's inept stab at teaching American school students: In Grand Junction, Colo.,...

About 18 months ago, someone sent me a link to a column by a 13-year-old kid. I read the piece. I shook my head. I said to myself: "No 13-year-old kid wrote that." But then I thought to myself: "What if a 13-year-old kid did write that?" Might I be missing out on the discovery of a major new talent? So, I decided to check it out. I wrote to Kyle Williams. I looked at some of his other work. I read his replies. I talked with his mother. Guess what? The kid was for real. Shortly thereafter, he became...

Throughout the past year, I have been able, at times, to follow the commentaries offered to the public by my son Kyle Williams through WorldNetDaily. I have also seen some of the responses to those writings through e-mails sent to him and through letters to the editor. For the most part, the responses have been very positive, but there has been some persistent speculation over the year that he is not writing on his own and that I or his mother – or both – are actually writing under his name. Rather than answer that speculation directly, I will briefly...

"School's out for summer," sang Alice Cooper, the shock-rocker. "School's out forever."In the case of teenagers who are homeschooled, the latter statement is certainly true.Meet four of them - three from Massachusetts and one from Oklahoma - who are among the growing number of American teens who have exchanged the dog-eat-dog world of high school and middle school to pursue academic excellence, entrepreneurial endeavors, travel, quality time with their families, and their dreams.
