The Scientific Technological Elite
Robert W. Ball
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's famous 1960 farewell address contained more than an admonition about the danger of an expanding "military-industrial complex." An uncanny warning. More

Understanding Climategate's Hidden Decline
Marc Sheppard
Seventeen days and thousands of almost exclusively on-line op-eds into this scandal, it still seems very few understand exactly which "decline" was being hidden, what "trick" was used to do so, and why Jones's words have become the slogan for the greatest scientific fraud in history. More

Manhattan Declaration and Mainstream Values
Janice Shaw Crouse
In recent years, the left (or as they want to be called, "progressives") has launched a campaign to convince the public that Judeo-Christian beliefs are some sort of unsavory extremism, a newly-minted product of "right-wing values." More

Adaptive Liberal Hypocrisy
Deborah C. Tyler
While supremely hypocritical, liberalism is not insane. It is a highly adaptive ego device that enables people to violate commitments, vilify those who are true to their faith, and avoid personal sacrifice. More
