Is Affirmative Action Still Necessary?

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

I wondered what your thoughts were now on Affirmative Action. I was a great believer in it in the 70’s and early 80’s.

This Week In Quotes: Nov 5 – Nov 11

Posted on by John Hawkins

“Ethics,” in modern practice, basically consists of taking what the law would term mala in se offenses (bad in and of themselves; the sort of thing that people have a visceral, morality-based reaction to) and turning them into fairly minor mala prohbiata offenses (bad only because they’re prohibited by state action). More importantly, though, the […]

Sign the Petition: Has ABC/Disney Blacklisted ‘The Path to 9/11’ Forever?

Posted on by Chris Yogerst

During John Stewart’s recent “Rally for Sanity” there were all of the usual signs one would expect the Left wants us to forget about.
