Dumbing Down America’s Colleges
 EdukShun 
Alan Caruba
The process that began in the 1960s to transform America’s elementary, middle and high schools into places where students could literally graduate without being able to read their diploma, where the teaching of mathematics was reduced to mush without rules, and where it was more important for students to feel really good about themselves than having to measure up scholastically with millions in foreign nations, has now reached the campuses of America’s colleges and universities.

400 members of Rainbow Family surround, attack federal officers
Progressivism
OffSite
National Forest Service officials, surrounded and attacked [yesterday] in Wyoming with sticks and stones by 400 members of the Rainbow Family, were given reason to regret their decision to cancel a long-planned national service project by the Boy Scouts of America in favor of the unorganized annual gathering of hippies, anarchists and “free spirits” who commune with nature and each other.

More Anger and Demands From The Right
Election 2008
Tom Segel
Harlingen, Texas, July 6, 2008: To say that conservatives are displeased with the GOP candidate for president would be a gigantic understatement. Those considered to be the demented Republican leadership who believe the right wing of the party will soon forget are wrong again. Conservatives are well aware the same people who have managed to lose everything that was accomplished during the Reagan years are once again ignoring them.

Divisive Politics
Progressivism
Thomas E. Brewton
Senator Obama’s campaign is based upon a fantasy: his claimed ability to transcend politics-as-usual and thereby to unite the nation for a common purpose.

Language Wars: Re-Redefining Judicial Activism
Judicial Activism
Adam Graham
The Heller decision has been disdained by many liberal activists as “conservative judicial activism” to sell their favorite meme: That conservatives are big hypocrites. Of course, this is little more than liberal language revisionism, inspired by linguist George Lakoff.

Upchuck City
Demercrats
Erik Rush
No, this is not a review of an upcoming Spike Lee film; rather, the title of this offering is a reference to what the town of Unity, N.H. became on Friday June 27, when Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Company descended upon the microscopic New England town in an effort to convince the latter senator’s supporters to back Obama. Hence the reasoning for choosing a place with the name “Unity.”

Politically Responsible Americans
Politics
John Ross
Considering the magnitude of slanted information being heaped on the American voter these days, some confidence and reassurance needs to be added to help get them above the smoke and mirrors. For the uninitiated, the term “slant” was coined just prior to WWII in lieu of using the German word propaganda, to avoid the appearance of disseminating “propaganda.” Appropriately, Americans have also, more often than not, demonstrated that they will dismiss trite, or shallow, and ill-advised national political candidates that advocate mystical as against logical goals and objectives.

Pro-Terrorist New York Times Leaks Top Secret US Info again
Progressivism
Sher Zieve
Continuing to sound more like Al-Jazeera than any US publication and once again displaying its anti-American pro-terrorist credentials to the world, the Democrats’ PR machine New York Times has begun its latest jihad against the United States of America. This time, it has decided to release information on the highly classified “Operation Cannonball” - which consisted of planned maneuvers meant to capture top Al Qaeda officials. In doing so, the Times has placed one of its primary missions as ‘informing Islamic terrorists of any dangers the US presents’. Note: It appears that the Times has become increasingly furious that US and Iraqi forces seem to be winning the war in Iraq. The anger is now so pronounced that one has to ponder as to how many terrorists might actually be on the NY Times payroll.

Terrorism
OffSite
(FBI Eco-Terrorism - Press Room) In early 2006, eco-terrorist Eric McDavid and two associates met in a secluded cabin in Dutch Flat, California to discuss making improvised explosive devices and to choose targets to bomb. Soon after, they began casing the targeted facilities and buying supplies to make bombs. But before they started mixing the ingredients, we swooped in and arrested them.

On Promises Kept, Rank Our Government ‘Unsatisfactory’
Big Brother
Thomas D. Segel
Harlingen, Texas, June 26, 2008: I really have a great amount of pity for those millions of poor souls who have such undying faith in the promises made by any politician, particularly those who hold national offices. Those who swallow this “Alice in Wonderland” rhetoric will suffer the deepest cuts of all when they step back through the looking glass and view reality for the first time.

D.C. v. Heller: Gun Bans Found To Be Unconstitutional (Again)
General
John Longenecker
The Supreme Court of The United States announced that it was overturning the Washington, D.C. Gun Ban and affirming lower court’s ruling against D.C. But does this affect gun laws around the country? It should, as 80 Million gun owners invoke the law while handfuls of officials were found to break it.

WaPo After Free Republic Again, Now Over Barack-is-a-Muslim Email
Election 2008
Warner Todd Huston
The Washington Post published a June 28th piece geared to protect Barack Obama from the nagging rumors that he is a secret Muslim, rumors that have been circulating since 2004. The Post’s Matthew Mosk penned an attack on Free Republic(1), based on an Obama flak who claims she has somehow discovered that Freepers are to blame, if not initially responsible, for floating the Barack-is-a-Muslim chain email that so many millions of Americans have found in their email boxes over the last four years. But, the Washington Post’s article is so filled with assumptions and a singular desire ‘not’ to really investigate the matter that it boggles the mind. Naturally, all the journalistic missteps serve to shield Barack Obama from any controversy and make all opposition seem nefarious or unhinged.

Nazism, Marxism and Islam
Politics
Bruce Walker
There is an invidious desire by those on the atheist Left to pretend that Hitler and the Nazis were some sort of rogue Christians and that many devout Christians accepted the Nazis and Hitler as protectors against Bolshevism and Jews. Those who wish to so this often note that Hitler made references to the Almighty or to Providence in his speeches, invoking the name of God. This had nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with his own religious beliefs, which were anything but Christian.

What Passes for ‘Journalism,’ Giving Obama a Free Pass
MSM
Warner Todd Huston
Recently the Rockford (Ill.) Register Star subjected its readers to another fine example of sloppy journalism aimed at exalting the Obama candidacy(1). It is so bad, so pointless, so filled with empty platitudes and meaninglessness that one might suspect it was written by Barack Obama himself instead of a reputed journalist. But it is a perfect example of the sort of slavish devotion the Illinois press is bestowing on it’s almost native son.
