A Pro-life Manifesto: Part IV
by Frank Creel
February 3, 2010
ARLINGTON, VA — Success in eliminating abortion from American life will require a degree of political sophistication not heretofore witnessed among the leaders of the pro-life movement.
One of the most effective charges against pro-lifers is that they are single-issue voters. Indeed, I argued in Part II that such a single-issue focus would be necessary to “get the ball rolling” toward the creation of a new party firmly grounded in pro-life principles.

Leftwing Thought and Speech Control Infects GOP
by Paul Gottfried
February 3, 2010
ELIZABETHTOWN, PA — GOP operatives again fell on their noses trying to be more PC than the Democrats.
Their war on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for saying in private that President Obama was well positioned in 2008 because he is “a light-skinned African American with no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one” turned into something truly tasteless.

Sodomy, Abortion, and the Forces of Hate
by Joe Sobran
February 2, 2010
DUNN LORING, VA — So J.D. Salinger is dead at 91, a recluse to the end. The 20th century was an excellent time to be reclusive, if you could manage it, given the wars, conscription, taxes, and bureaucracy.
When The Catcher in the Rye was published half a century ago, few if any dreamed that an American president would ever use his, or her, State of the Union address to toss a bouquet to sodomites. Holden Caulfield referred to them as “flits.” Sounded pretty harmless then; we’d never heard of, or imagined, AIDS.
Nowadays you can probably find a book club dedicated to your pet perversion.

The Real Dangers of Consumerism
by Daniel Graham
January 28, 2010
FAIRFAX, VA —Not all consumerism is bad. Consumerism is appropriate in the marketplace. It is good to be careful consumers, to exercise the freedom to choose within our budgets and personal tastes, and to protect ourselves from fraudulent or predatory businesses.
Consumerism becomes problematic, however, when we let it permeate the rest of our lives, for example, our approaches to government, Church, and even family.

Deficit Soars while Bipartisan Earmarks Continue Unabated
by Allan C. Brownfeld
January 27, 2010
ALEXANDRIA, VA — Deficit spending is skyrocketing. In December, a report was issued under the auspices of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the Committee for a Federal Budget, declaring that the U.S. is facing “a debt-driven crisis — something previously viewed as almost unfathomable in the world's largest economy.”

Was America Born in a Revolution or a War for Independence?
by Charles G. Mills
January 25, 2010
GLEN COVE, NY — In the century from 1607 to 1707, English colonies were established in America. Over time, some merged and some split. Some, such as Plymouth, Saybrook, and New Haven, permanently lost their identity. Most colonization was over by 1707; only Georgia was colonized after that. Most people who settled in the original colonies were English, Scots, or Welsh. A smaller number were Irish, German, or Dutch.

by Frank Creel
