Texas science director forced to step down because she expressed the opinion that evolution was a superior theory to intelligent design.

Poor people will pay nothing at all or actually get money from the government every month. How is that paying more?

Author claims Ron Paul's support is not a libertarian movement in the Republican party, but the result of anti-war populism. I'm afraid that's true too, but the more Paul gets his entire message out, the more people become aware of the problems of titanic government, so it's a still a benefit, even though I'd prefer Paul's success to be about domestic policy.

This essay lays out the stakes in the global warming fraud - Al Gore and his con men have the goal to forever discredit the free market system so that elites like Gore can rule the rest of us forever. The great global warming con is nothing less than an attempt to Sovietize the entire world.

These people think the Soviets had the right idea, they just implemented it badly.
