How many Americans are aware that the Democrats *FILIBUSTERED* Republican efforts to bring Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under control in 2005? Not many, I'm afraid. The sub-prime mortgage meltdown could have been avoided, but the Democrats would have nothing to do with it. Instead, they accused the Republicans of -- you guessed it -- "racism," for trying to bring fiscal sanity to these institutions. Read about it here:
"During this [the 20th] century's wars, there were some 38 million battle deaths, but almost four times more people -- at least 170 million -- were killed by governments for ethnic, racial, tribal, religious, or political reasons. I call this phenomenon democide, and it means that authoritarian and totalitarian governments are more deadly than war." --R.J. Rummel, author of Death by Government
"Give war a chance." --P.J. O'Rourke
"This most elegant system of the sun, planets, and comets could not have arisen without the design and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being." --Sir Isaac Newton, The Principia
Think about it: the greatest scientist who ever lived, Isaac Newton, saw proof of intelligent design in the mechanics of the solar system -- yet modern evolutionists can find no evidence of intelligent design in the human body and mind. Someone is profoundly wrong here, folks ... and it isn't Isaac Newton!
Hugo Chavez at the UN, calling Bush the devil and waving a copy of a book by Noam Chomsky ... priceless!
Are you as appalled as I am by the constant drumbeat of assertions that President Bush "lied" about weapons of mass destruction to get us into war in Iraq? Well, if he lied, so did one heck of a lot of prominent Democrats, not to mention other nations and the UN. But don't take my word for it. Read about it yourself. The truth, it turns out, is that those calling Bush a liar are themselves the real liars. But that should come as no surprise to anyone.
If you believe the Leftist lies about George W. Bush in the Texas Air National Guard, please read the fascinating story of the F-102 in Vietnam. And while you're at it, check out this little analysis on Bush and the F-102. Conclusion: the accidental death rate for F-102 pilots in training and peacetime was nearly the same as for active service in Vietnam for all troops. But don't hold your breath waiting to hear that from Dan Rather!

Check out my Graphical Voter Interface (GVI). GVI is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for voting, suitable for use in private or public elections. It can handle write-ins and multi-language elections, and it can automate voting along party lines. GVI can be used for Condorcet Voting and Instant Runoff Voting, which allow voters to rank the candidates in order of preference. It can also be used for Approval Voting, which allows voters to select more than one candidate.
Don't miss my article "Case Closed?" about the JFK assassination. It is a critical review of the book Case Closed by Gerald Posner, which received tremendous media coverage around the 30th anniversary of the assassination. The article also provides a synopsis of the entire episode. You will be amazed!
