Obama, Alinsky, and Scapegoats James Lewis ‘Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It.’ –Saul Alinsky, “Rules for Radicals” That's what Barack Obama taught his ACORN followers in all his Community Agitator classes in Chicago. That slogan defines mob scapegoating, of course. It is an exact prescription for whipping up mobs – by race, by gender, by ethnicity, by religion.

Do You Want True UN Reform? Tom DeWeese People are eternal optimists. Most believe that, if we can just sit down and talk – then we can solve all the world’s problems.

Classics and War Victor Davis Hanson If our students and professors today would study the Classics, they might rediscover the origins of their culture — and in doing so learn that we are not even remotely akin to the Taliban or the Saudis, but are in fact profoundly different in the manner we craft our government, treat our women, earn our living, and set the parameters of our religion.

Who Suffers at the hands of the Race Hustlers? George M. Haddad Here are a people who at one time had ancestors become slaves by the accident of conquering tribes and birth and yet today are responsible and accountable for the self imposed corral into which they have enslaved themselves.

Déjà vu on the Brink of War Alan Caruba Today, as it was in the 1930s, gangsters rule Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, and, Saudi Arabia, to name just a few nations of the Middle East. They must be restrained and removed from power. It is the only way to avoid years of terrorism and war.

Saul Alinsky and DNC Corruption Diane Alden The devil challenged authority and got his own kingdom, and that goes to the heart of what left is really about. That of course is to get power any way you can, including lying, cheating and stealing. The ultimate rule is that the ends justify the means.

Driving Us To Violence One of the things I've noticed lately is that the government, at all levels, seems to be going out of its way to do things that enrage the citizens. Things that if these citizens have a backbone, would cause them to rebel.

Banks, Guns, and Feudal Lords We are, literally, right on the hairy edge of a government-sanctioned plan where you get with the political program designed for you or you don't eat or pay rent. There are three separate threads of tyranny coming together here.

Speaking The Unspeakable Jesse Jackson would do better to stage his protests in the Sudan where people of color still sell other people of color to yet other people of color. Perhaps, he feels slavery is like incest - okay as long as you keep it in the family.

The Battle of Evil Empire President Reagan's Evil Empire Speech, often credited with hastening the end of Soviet totalitarianism, almost didn't happen.

Exterminating Ellsworth by David C. Adams "His chief weapon is mockery. A great, all-embracing nihilistic ridicule. Allow nothing to remain sacred in a man's soul."

Mincing Down the Aisle in - The New Vermont It's Against the Law to Marry Your Sister but Okay to Marry Your Brother by Norman Liebmann Same sex marriage is an attack on Christian civilization, and it is no wonder Bill Clinton should lead that attack - inasmuch as no one ever accused him of being either Christian or civilized.

The Worst Of The Century by Thomas Sowell While it may be too close to call as to who deserves the "honor" of being the worst of the worst in this century, what is painfully clear is that these leaders all shared at least one characteristic that is still powerful -- the ability to use words and manipulate emotions as a means of getting control of the levers of political power.

The Moral Promise of Freedom by Doc. Ron Paul (R-TX) A government that governs by fear alone eventually finds itself unable to govern at all.

The Real "Agnes Of God" The Federalist "The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ... You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth." - Mother Teresa

Strachan Brock Chisolm, former Director of the (United Nations) World Health Organization, is quoted as saying, "To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men, their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas."

Toward the Total State by William Norman Grigg "... those who want to change society must change man’s consciousness, and that in order to accomplish this they must first control the institutions by which that consciousness is formed: schools, universities, churches, and, perhaps above all, art and the communications industry."
