America’s Gestapo: The FBI’s Reign Of Terror
by John W. Whitehead. “Don’t Be a Puppet” is the message the FBI is sending young Americans. As part of the government’s so-called ongoing war on terror, the nation’s de facto secret police force is now recruiting students and teachers to spy on each other and report anyone who appears to have the potential to be “anti-government” or “extremist.” ... MOREThe Next Front In The War On Religious Freedom
by David Harsanyi. Stop bellyaching about Washington. All the country's best fascists are on your local city council. Not long ago, Colorado became a leader in the fight against religious freedom, when its Civil Rights Commission, self-appointed ministers of justice and theology, decided that a shopkeeper who refuses to participate in a gay ... MORERobby Soave: The ACLU Now Opposes Religious Freedom
Because Christians need it. The American Civil Liberties Union has formally reversed its support for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, signaling that the organization is no longer interested in mounting an ideologically consistent defense of all people of faith.

The unfortunate education of James Foley. The recent death of reporter James Foley at the hands of ISIS and the past death of American ambassador Chris Stevens have an interesting similarity. Both men were known to be liberals, and some would even say they were educated in a radical liberal tradition. Writing in USA Today, David McKay ... MOREVictor Volsky: Obeying The Dog Whistle
Focus on the young, not the mind-numbed zombies. In George Orwell's immortal dystopia Animal Farm, the ruling pigs distilled the revolutionary ideology for the stupider animals, such as the sheep, hens and ducks, to a simplistic but highly useful slogan, "Four legs good, two legs bad". Not only did it explain to the dumb masses the ... MOREA Rare Stand For Free Speech Over Political Correctness
Unpopular speech is what needs protection. Councilwoman Elisa Chan defended anti-gay remarks made during a
secretly recorded staff meeting, saying at a news conference Tuesday

survival.” The statements mark Chan's first public appearance since San Antonio Express-News ... MORE

A little revision from the global warming cult. According to the leaders of the global warming doomsday cult, the average surface temperature of Earth is 14 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees Fahrenheit), but this is a new value which has quietly replaced the original average of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). In March 1988, a few ... MOREJacob Sullum: The Devil In Rudy Eugene
Society's readiness to believe in satanic substances. Casting about for a reason why Rudy Eugene gnawed off most of a homeless man's face in an unprovoked attack on Miami's MacArthur Causeway last month, his girlfriend suggested he may have been the victim of a voodoo curse. Or maybe he was drugged, she told The Miami ... MORE
