As many of you know I'm not a Ron Paul fan. I find the man's ideas to be outdated, fantastical, and the product of the very kind of government indoctrination he claims to oppose. I have debated many of his supporters here on Newsvine and I am proud to say that I've …
As much as mainstream Americans like to believe that the government and the private sector are at odds, the reality of the matter is that the State is subservient to Capitalist interests. Make no mistake: there is no law other than that which protects Capitalism and the upp …

"That such firms will continue to target the public with advanced information warfare capabilities on behalf of major corporations is by itself an extraordinary danger to mankind as a whole, particularly insomuch as that such capabilities are becoming more effective while re …
Although I would contend that it was always evident that Obama was not a true Leftist, I suppose this would be more convincing to those Liberals who so wrongly continue to defend Obama rather than speak out against him as all Leftists should.
One can only wonder why all the divinely-ordained religious figures, people who have talked to Yahweh, or people who have died, "visited" Heaven, and came back never made a mention of this
A hilarious "interview" with Mike Tyson.
An encouraging turn of events. Incidentally, I am producing a pamphlet that will serve as an introduction to Capitalism, Anti-Capitalism, and Socialism. I am looking for readers of a variety of backgrounds to read it and rate its effectiveness.
Although I am doing my rest to refrain from making judgments until more information is available, I have to say I've personally broken up fights between teenage girls that were a lot worse than this, I've restrained said girls after they've attacked me, all WITHOUT punching anyon …
An interesting glimpse into the future of the United States...

I have been following the Treyvon Martin case since it happened. And, the responses to articles written absolutely disgust me. Look at the picture of this young man. Look at him closely. Do you really believe this kid a "gangster" or even a "trouble-maker?" If you do, you are bli …
Lots of people get giddy following even the briefest encounters with a president. But one Washington-area college student was especially elated that President Obama understood what he was saying. Or signing. As first reported on Distriction, Stephon, a student at Prince G …

Great Review on Propaganda and Teachers. I was a social studies teacher myself until I desired to go to a higher level. Very good analysis.
