Mon, 08 Oct 2007 23:59:59 GMT - And you thought defending "American Cultural Identity" was bad enough....
Among the articles of faith certain bastions of hyperconservatism hold dear is the defence of "American cultural heritage and identity"--in particular the brand as is expected to promote a hagiographically-idealised vision of American Values and Heritage, especially so one as seems to be rooted in...

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 23:59:59 GMT - So much for "Pure Socialism"--is such a thing as "Pure Capitalism" feasable?

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 23:59:59 GMT - Still "No Child Left Behind"--but @ what cost?
All this time, Your Correspondent has been, and continues to be, of the True Belief that the greater conservative article of faith about "No Child Left Behind" (as in improving public education quality) is one of those patsies and bromides which the conservative community wants subject to serious...
