When the meddlesome nature of news media steers foreign policy in the wrong
direction, it could prove dangerous, even disastrous. The current dilemma is
the media's push to get the United States' military involved in the winless
war between Israelis and Palestinians.
| 04/05/02 | | "Ground Down CIA", "Litigating the Legacy of Slavery" and "Historian's fight to Save her reputation" are commentaries worth reviewing. |
| 03/29/02 | | I do believe successful accomplishment of this noble task ranks right up there with World Peace and Diogenes' search for an honest man in difficulty. |
| 03/26/02 | | Congress passed the so-called 'landmark' overhaul of campaign finance laws.
Senators Russ Feingold and John McCain are savoring the success of their
namesake legislation. President Bush is preparing to sign it into law. |
| 04/10/02 | |
Little, if anything, will be resolved by the so-called campaign finance
reform legislation recently passed by the Congress and signed into law by
the president. Incumbent elected officials never intended to reform
campaign finance, now or ever. |
| 03/26/02 | | It has become a principle of the environmental movement to insist that wood
and paper products be certified as originating from sustained, managed
forests. Movement members even created their own organization, the Forest
Stewardship Council, to make the rules and hand out the certificates. |
| 03/25/02 | | Pity the poor caribou. There they are, minding their own business, roaming
silently in the snow and soft tundra of the desolate Arctic landscape. Then,
suddenly, they're everywhere: migrating through green Web sites worldwide, |
| 03/24/02 | | As reported in earlier, Minnesota, along with New York,
represent the greatest chances for the expansion of the initiative and
referendum process. Holding true to this prediction, the MN House passed
the I&R amendment by a 76-57 margin. |
| 03/20/02 | | The attack on America notwithstanding, social and political extremists in
our country have been exacting organized terror against enormous classes of
people, wherein radical special interests and partisan blocks of voters,
have been jerking around the majority for decades. |
| 03/19/02 | | What's wrong about Rosie O'Donnell coming out is the fact that she
perpetrated a fraud upon her young and vulnerable, fun-loving audience by
pretending to be what she's not. |
| 03/18/02 | | While political posturing and fingerpointing by congressional and Senate
hearing members goes on unabated, voters should not overlook the

WITH BIAS TOWARD ALL
U.S. News & World Report
Culture & Ideas
By JOHN LEO | Some 440,000 copies of Bernard Goldberg's book Bias are now in print. Who
knew that a complaint about news bias would become a runaway bestseller? |
| 03/15/02 | | It is highly disturbing that the moral erosion of the sexual revolution has
fully impacted middle-schoolers, as was aptly pointed out in USA TODAY's
March 15-17 Cover Story, "The sexual revolution hits junior high." |
| 03/15/02 | | The documents approving hijacker pilots' student visas six months after
the September 11th attacks are little more than superficial evidence of
the gross mismanagement that has infected U.S Immigration and Naturalization. |
| 03/11/02 | | The six-month anniversary of the attack on America will likely be remembered
as much by the bungling, whining, litigious greed and disparity of terrorism
victim compensation than the unspeakable horror and meaning of what actually
happened on Sept. 11th. |
| 03/04/02 | | Though the concept of homeland security is necessary in the war against
terrorism, the American people should also be vigilant against altruistic
zealots who would erode our freedom in the name of feeling safe. |
| 03/02/02 | | "How many union workers does it take to change a light bulb?
Thirty-seven. You gotta problem wit dat, pal?" |
| 03/01/02 | | Even though our nation has been thoroughly shaken by the 2000 presidential
election debacle, the energy crisis, Enron-style corporate corruption,
economic uncertainty, the dastardly Attack on America and the war against
terrorism, not much has changed |
| 03/01/02 | | With the election rapidly approaching, I thought I'd enumerate some of the reasons I remain aloof from the process. With the greed and corruption prevalent in politics, the ever increasing intrusion of the federal government into our daily lives and the reluctant attitude of the populace to eliminate the feeding trough of the public dole, I don't believe it will ever change, |
| 03/01/02 | | I'll bet, as you read my column, "Wouldn't It Be Great?", you though, "Poor old Hermit, he's gone over the edge living that life of solitude out there in the desert, dreaming idealistically of changing our government into true representative government. |
| 02/28/02 | | I do believe successful accomplishment of this noble task ranks right up there in difficulty with World Peace, and Diogenes' search for an honest man. |
| 02/27/02 | | ATLANTA -- Urban black America favors school vouchers, but its leaders
don't. Vouchers transfer authority over the use of a portion of government
education funds from bureaucrats to parents, who then may use their grants
to send their children to the schools, secular or religious, they believe
will best educate their kids. |
| 02/27/02 | | As if Americans have not thoroughly confused by the meteoric economic rise
of the 1990's, the fall of the turn of the century, cultural divisions and
the attack on America, black leaders and activists are relentlessly banging
away for reparations for slavery. |
| 02/25/02 | | The Winter Olympic Games are over and it is little more than two years
before the Summer Games are to be held in Athens. Let's stop and consider
what has happened to the Games over time. |
| 02/23/02 | | Though our economic decline was aggravated by the instability caused by the
attack on America, it was deeply disturbing to see the results of financial
excess and irresponsibility of the 1990's. |

some success in shrinking the `digital divide.' |
| 02/06/02 | | WASHINGTON (Reuters) - CIA Director George Tenet, in his first public
appearance before Congress since the Sept. 11 attacks, said... |
| 02/06/02 | | When is comes to government budgets, the United States is the biggest
spender in the world, and California is the biggest spender in the United
States. |
| 02/06/02 | |
By all standards of the modern world-economic development, literacy,
scientific achievement-Muslim civilization, once a mighty enterprise, has
fallen low. |
| 01/26/02 | | Defenders of American Islamic extremist John Walker Lindh have made it
painfully clear that the tragic young man will probably become a poster boy
for the sickness infecting our society |
| 01/24/02 | | No question about it, being a baby boomer is a mixed designation. Americans
born shortly after World War II hit a lot of stuff just right: the birth of
rock and roll,.... |
| 01/24/02 | | Enron is certainly not alone when it comes to investing in Washington.
Indeed, government and corporations are conveniently conjoined by a largess
money belt, fed by conveyors of dollars mined from taxpayers, investors and
consumers. |

By Mortimer B. Zuckerman, Editor-in-Chief
U.S. News & World Report - January 21, 2002 issue |
President Bush may say that a tax increase would be passed only over his
dead body, but what will he do-what can he do? |
| 01/17/02 | RALPH NADER SAYS:
We must re-assert the sovereignty of the people.< | In an interview with Fox News Bill O'Reilly, Ralph Nader said that
government and the two-party system have deteriorated to the extent that
"...the people must re-assert their sovereignty over government, their
elected representatives and corporate America... |

CARPING IN HARVARD YARD
U.S. News & World Report - January 21, 2002 issue | So the president of Harvard hurt the feelings of one of his African-American
studies professors. Is this a big story? The elite media obviously think it
is. Let's examine why. |
| 01/17/02 | WHITE GUILT = BLACK POWER
By Shelby Steele.
January 15, 2002
The Wall Street Journal - January 8, 2002 | THERE SHOULD BE many more imbroglios like the one currently playing out at
Harvard University, enough for America to finally understand that white
guilt is exactly the same thing as black power. |

WorldNetDaily.com - December 17, 2001
It's never been more clear to me why President Clinton downplayed the
terrorist threat to America |
| 01/13/02 | | It's time for more democracy
The attack on America, the war against terrorism, the sagging economy,
celebrity journalism and partisan politics have our nation in the grip of a
highly disturbing combination. |
| 01/12/02 | | Energy giant Enron crumbled under its own weight of lies, deceit,
diversification, incompetence and top-heavy greed...
Wait a minute! That shoe fits the federal government too. |
| 01/11/02 | | To raise the question of former President Bill Clinton's record on terrorism
in the wake of Sept. 11 is to invite a chorus of disapproval. For bringing
the subject up, you will be accused of pathological "Clinton hatred," |
| 01/07/02 | | January 7, 2001
The attack on America could have easily been prevented
After President Clinton left office, the DDC ceased speaking out against the
Clintons, with a caveat: Unless he ran for another office, or she ran for
president. But what has unfolded since September 11th changed things.
Clinton bears much of the responsibility for the attack on America. |

Heroes of United Airlines Flight 93 overshadowed by New York's self-image
The horror of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the twin towers of the
World Trade Center notwithstanding, it's disturbing to see what seems to be
unfolding from the dreadful event. |
| 01/04/02 | | By Dick Morris
New York Post - January 2, 2001
Last month, President Bush shut down three U.S.-based "charities" accused of
funneling money to Hamas, a terrorist organization that last year alone was
responsible for at least 20 bombings, two shootings and a mortar attack that
killed 77 people. |
