By Peter Laird
As we marvel at the idiocy of school boards and administrators who openly violate state laws of their choosing (Arlington school board originally voting 3-3 over recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance) and wishing to distribute condoms to grammar school kids without parental notification, it may be instructive to re-visit “The Professors, The [...]

In an effort to promote and spread our conservative message, we’d like to encourage Tea Party members to write Letters to The Editor to your local papers. Don’t be intimidated by them. Editors are looking for your opinion so you don’t have to be an expert. They are not difficult to write and [...]
Illegal Immigration Debate Continues
By Peter Laird
As the President raises the stakes in the immigration debate, I highly recommend the website of the Center for Immigration Studies www.cis.org. It is a veritable treasure-trove of facts, statistics, research papers, and questionniare results that are given great credence by nearly all parties in the debate.
A few excerpts and condensations from some [...]
Muzzling the Constitution
By Christine Morabito
I work in the psychiatric field, so very little shocks me. However, I was completely incredulous to learn of a publishing company putting a warning label on reprints of the Constitution and other historical documents. The disclaimer, by Wilder Publications, also appears on copies of its Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, the Articles [...]
Free Markets? What Free Markets?
By Christine Morabito
In what passes for an exciting night on the town for this political junkie, I attended a spirited debate between Yaron Brook, President and Executive Director of the Ayn Rand Institute and Peter Kadzis, Editor of the ultra-liberal Boston Phoenix. How liberal is the Phoenix? My friend Patrick, in expressing his disgust with [...]
Tea Party Incites Violence? – And the Pot Called the Kettle Black
By Christine Morabito
Your odds are greater of being mauled at the zoo than becoming a victim of right wing violence. That’s why I’m tired of hearing ad nauseum that the Tea Party and conservative talk shows are inciting violence among disenchanted Americans. The ambassadors of doom and gloom hastily, and often erroneously, seize upon every [...]
Brandeis University Right Wing Radicalism Symposium – School’s Out!
There was certainly a lot of drama created over last Wednesday’s “New Right Wing Radicalism” panel discussion hosted by the Center for German and European Studies at Brandeis University – drama created on both sides. The media, and most especially our beloved Michael Graham, blew its collective top and the University capitalized on the [...]
Signatures, Please.
Signatures, Please.
By Christine Morabito
As I venture deeper into the bizarro world of political activism, I’ve discovered an activity so outside my comfort zone that it causes me to break out in hives. I’m referring to the agonizingly tortuous act of signature collecting.
Several months ago I made a commitment to assist a local [...]
Adam Smith’s Four Principles of Taxation
Adam Smith’s Four Principles of Taxation
By Jared Rhoads
Federal tax returns are due soon, once again leaving some of us wondering where our money goes and what we get for it. Last year, federal tax revenue plunged 34 percent to $138 billion. With fewer people working and uncertainty surrounding the uptake of deductions, the IRS does [...]
Oh SNAP! Foodstamps for College Kids?
Oh SNAP!
By Christine Morabito
Call me crazy, but when I needed money for college, I got a job. Sure, I missed a few TKE parties and games like “quarters,” but it built character and kept me out of trouble (mostly). I was recently dumbfounded to learn of another entitlement program slated for expansion. This one is [...]
