Confused Americans for Truth - Rioting is Not the Solution to Lawlessness
Racial violence in Sydney, Australia is going into its third day, as police implement security measures to calm things down.
A BBC report lays the blame for the riots on long-term racial tensions between whites and Lebanese immigrants. Those tensions, however, are not racial in origin, but criminal. The rioters feel that Lebanese youth gangs are allowed to harass and assault beachgoers without fear of the police.

The Liberal Wrong Wing
ACLU Skips a Second Amendment
Why is it that the American Civil Liberties Union, a group dedicated to protecting Constitutional rights, rarely commits to the protection of the rights guaranteed in the second amendment of the Constitution? The second amendment, the right to bear arms, is of course amongst the most important clauses in the United States Constitution. It is this Amendment that instills a true power to the people. Without it, our nation could easily descend into a nation in which the government does not acknowledge the genuine will of the people. The right to bear arms is a substantial right which finds itself at the forefront of the ideology of American democracy.

Anything to get Christ out of Christmas
The ´war against Christmas¡ rages on. A Wisconsin elementary school has changed the song ´Silent Night¡ to ´Cold in the Night,¡ and secularized the lyrics.It is odd enough that school administrators were so uncomfortable with contentious and inflamatory lyrics like ´all is calm¡ and ´holy infant, so tender and mild". It is even more odd that while the subject of 'Christ¡ was considered taboo, other themes that were clearly religious or focused on non-Christian traditions were openly welcomed in the school.

From "Why the U.S. bombed," The Washington Times, Oct.Pererro
16, 1998, by National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger:
"Following the Aug. 7 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania, the United States launched a missile strike against a factory in
Khartoum, Sudan, as well as against terrorist camps in Afghanistan.
Since then, some critics have suggested that we acted precipitously when we
struck the Sudanese Al Shifa plant. But, given what we knew, to not
have acted against that facility would have been the height of
irresponsibility.
