If the 1976 western The Last Hard Men has it right, we Occidentals metamorphosed into jellyfish sometime around the early twentieth century.  Although this title is more movie marketing than historical statement, there may be something to it.  After all, Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant general in the British Army, was motivated by the belief that western boys were becoming too soft when he originated the Boy Scouts in 1907.

Last week I wrote that when gun control people view violence as a health problem, their political interference with self-defense essentially denies emergency health care for the victims of violence. It’s like stealing someone’s life-saving medicine in the name of being anti-violent. Just as ineffectual and just as wrong.

MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 22 /Christian Newswire/—January 22, 1973, another day besides December 7, 1941, that lives in infamy in the history of America. On this day, 34 years ago, an elite group of black-robed Supreme Court judges decriminalized the sin and crime of abortion. With a stroke of a pen, they struck down every law in America that protected preborn children from those who would arbitrarily harm them in the sanctity of their mother’s womb.

Irvine, CA--At the National Conference for Media Reform last weekend, several lawmakers called for the return of the “Fairness Doctrine,” which demands that television and radio broadcasters give a balanced presentation of all sides of controversial issues.

When Joseph Smith kidnapped 11-year-old Carlie Brucia in front of a Florida mall (and a closed circuit video security monitor) in February of 2004, raped her, killed her and discarded her body like a used condom, I responded with a column entitled “Give Him Death”, in which I outlined my ambivalence regarding the death penalty, among other things.

Climate alarmism threatens intense pain, for no environmental gain - Europeans have worked themselves into such a lather over “climate chaos” that they’ve set themselves up for a head-on collision between eco-ideology and economic reality. With the new Democratic Congress poised to ram through heavy-handed climate legislation, the US may be heading down the same path.

ABC TV meteorologist James Spann has sparked a cyber-excrement-storm for having the unpardonable gall to be honest.

It seems that judges are now in the business of attributing rights to animals of the two legged and the four legged variety. They release child rapists on probation and give constitutional rights to terrorists, while meting out prison sentences for animal owners and parents who discipline their children.

Hating so-called “fossil fuels”, coal, oil, and natural gas, with a passion, the environmentalists have perpetrated every deception possible and, among them, is the notion that Americans can avoid destroying the Earth if they just fill up the tanks of their automobiles with ethanol.

Like most everyone who still has a head on his shoulders, I was taken aback by the New York Times Article, “51% of Women Are Now Living Without Spouse”, by one Sam Roberts.

To give him the benefit of the doubt, former President Carter may have Christian intentions, but he supports a major swath of the atheistic materialism of liberal-socialist-progressivism. 

It’s 2007 A.D. and most of us are aware that a major part of the population no longer believes that marriage should be confined to the practice of one sex marrying the other. In fact, it may soon become a fundamental right of citizenship for any person within the diversity spectrum to receive the state’s imprimatur after pairing off with whoever or whatever they want. So, imagine my surprise, given the nature of our society, to discover an article in The New York Times which seemed to indicate that the decision to get married was one made entirely by women. Its title is “51% of Women Are Now Living Without Spouse,” and it happens to be the Times most popular article at this moment.  In its paragraphs, the reporters refuse to examine the attitudes of men alongside those of women which results in it providing a false description of reality. This is intentional, of course, as it furthers the paper’s implicit goal of pursuing female empowerment at all costs.

Having previously reported on the participation of Revolutionary Communist Party members at the “National Conference on Media Reform,” I can now confirm that members of the old Soviet-line Communist Party USA were there, too. But it gets even more interesting. It turns out that one of the founders of the group sponsoring the conference is personally rubbing elbows with identified communists in a broader movement designed to impeach President Bush and force a U.S. defeat in Iraq.

Less than half a month has passed since the Democrats took control of Congress, and already they are proving to everyone just how far to the left their party has slid over the years. In typical neo-communist fashion, Representative Maurice Hinchey of New York [1] has decided to drag the long-buried - but apparently not quite dead - Fairness Doctrine [2] out of its tomb, dust it off, rename it the Media Ownership Reform Act (MORA) [3], and attempt to replace free speech in the media with what he and his ilk like to refer to as “fair speech”.
