The Wall Street Occupiers as Mind Erasers
James Lewis

Living in Omelasville
Clarice Feldman
Obama may not create a classless society, but he sure has created a classless administration. In better times, the miscreants would fall on their swords, slit their wrists in hot baths or be displayed hanging from gibbets on town walls. More

De-Christianizing Dr. King
Peter Heck
On the surface, I suppose it does sound incredible: they created a monument to honor an influential Baptist minister and they omitted any reference to God or Jesus in the featured quotations throughout the memorial. More

The 2012 Presidential Election Will Be Won or Lost in the Middle

Taking Laps In The College Athletics Cesspool
Geoffrey P. Hunt
The cesspool of big time college athletics spilled over this past week on the campus of Penn State University. It would be too easy, and mistaken, to assign this abject abomination to Penn State alone. More

November 13, 2011
The Occupation Devolution
Sally Zelikovsky
The very essence of the Occupation qua Occupation is coercive. It calls for squatting on public property and forcibly taking it over for the exclusive use of the Occupiers. Squatters readily admit they intend to stay forever, take control of the means of production, and Occupy Everything. More

No One Is Stealing Palestinian Land
Jerrold L. Sobel
This is a common theme amongst two sets of people supporting the Palestinian cause: those with unmistakable animus toward Israel and Jews and others just misinformed by consistent, unremitting propaganda. More

Hypocrisy in Media's Penn State Storyline
S. T. Karnick
Instead of a story about sexual predation and a cover-up by government employees, this became a story about hypocrisy -- a particular obsession of the U.S. media in recent years. More

Gov. Perry Should Be Glad
Robert Morrison
Actually, I think Gov. Perry should be glad. What we're seeing in these gong shows is a most unseemly bidding contest. "I'll abolish three agencies." "I'll see your three and raise you two agencies." I can abolish faster than you can. More

Higher Education's Transparency Problem

Europeans Gushing over Obama's Economic Policies
J. Robert Smith
One wonders if Sarkozy would gush over a Republican president in the same way he gushes over Mr. Obama. By January 2013, Sarkozy might be occupying a cell in the Bastille, thereby dampening his enthusiasms. More

The Real J. Edgar Hoover

If the goal of the new movie J. Edgar was to tear down J. Edgar Hoover, the filmmakers did a good job. The film portrayed him in an unfavorable light, not as the person once considered a hero. More

The Real 1%
James W. Lucas
While we may be getting beyond what the Occupiers' pot-addled brains can manage, let us now ask this question: are the wealthiest 1% and the most powerful 1% the same? The short answer is that they are not, and that can be proven quantifiably. More

General Fuller's Career-Ending Message for Americans

Cain Accuser's Modified Limited Hangout
