    [Warning: Satire Ahead]
    “Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.”
    –John Maynard Keynes
    If you’re nodding your head in agreement with Keynes and expecting validation of your opinion as you read this piece, you’re in for a rude awakening.
    Forget the humanitarian, bleeding heart nonsense. Let’s reflect on the words of Thomas Sowell instead:
    “Despite a voluminous and (…)

    A Belgian Intellectual
    When a practicing theoretical physicist turns his attention to politics, picking up the progressive flag, political types should pay attention. Jean Bricmont, of the Catholic University of Louvain, is not only a prolific researcher in his profession but goes well beyond, writing about everything from the philosophy of science ("Determinism, Chaos, and Quantum Mechanics," PDF) to culture (Fashionable Nonsense), to politics — his latest being (…)

    Racist Restrictions in the US Prison System The Ongoing War on Native American Religious Practices
    By LEONARD PELTIER
    Religious freedom is a fundamental right of all, including American Indians, yet the struggle to preserve and protect our religion has always been a difficult one. More so when incarcerated Native Americans are concerned who tend to be given second rate acknowledgement by prison officials and mainstream faiths.
    In 1984 Robert Wilson, (Standing Deer) Albert Garza and I (…)

  • The Right’s Crisis in Confidence
    24 May 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Wayne Besen
    In sports, it is known that confidence is the main ingredient that separates great players from those who are merely good. A legend, such as Michael Jordan, could miss ten shots in a row, but he would still expect the eleventh shot to fall. The average player, on the other hand, would start having doubts after a few missed baskets, even if he has the same physical talents as the star.
    After tossing a generous number of political bricks, the religious right is in the midst (…)

  • The Rapture Came Early This Year: Falwell takes his leave.
    16 May 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Old Jerry was called by the Lord decades ago. He was skinnier then, but just as obnoxious. Today he slipped his mortal coil at 300 larded pounds and only 73. I have a dog older than that.
    He just couldn’t stay away from cheeseburgers. That’s cruel and puerile, I know, but that’s who I am, and let’s face it...ol’ Jer’ deserves it.
    There is no doubt that Mr.Falwell did indeed rise from a boisterous Southern preacher with a small church to become a man of huge influence in the (…)

    FALWELL’S LEGACY
    John Chuckman
    That great bulk, Jerry Falwell, has eaten his last family-size bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
    Yes, Jerry has ordered his last tent-sized silk suit, taken his last bag of cash from lonely old ladies, and ordered his last truckload of cheap, merchandising Bibles with his picture stamped on the cover. Gone on to his reward, as they say.
    He donated his organs, the only gesture of kindness recorded in his adult life, but they were all rejected, except for (…)

    The following article is compiled from various texts and books written by this author over the past 10 years voicing a consistent message.
    Mine is part of the struggle to save Muslims from becoming the victims of a 21st Century Holocaust they are so obviously inching towards, becoming the 21st century Jews in terms of treatment the Jews received in Nazi Germany.

    In addition to being a contemptible ghoul who uses a tragedy to attack an unrelated concept, evolutionary biology (we are all on the same page, right? The evidence so far is that the Virginia Tech killer was a mentally ill young man with a confused Christ complex, not a ruthless atheist proponent of evolution who was following the advice of Charles Darwin’s ghost), this "full time creation evangelist" Grady McMurtry makes a revealing admission:
    Therefore, he [McMurtry] asserts, people (…)
