Liberal in Chief
My crystal ball told me the Global War on Terror would bring us a lot of trouble, but it failed to foresee that one of the flashpoints would be cartoons in Denmark.

Bible Bill Just Election Year Politics

A community college student in Massachusetts faces possible disciplinary action for shouting "Remember Chappaquiddick!" during an on-campus speech by Democrat Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Resignation of Harvard's President
Today, Harvard is, on many reckonings, the world's greatest university. It did not have that status many yesterdays ago. It may not retain that status many tomorrows hence. It could join the long list of living-dead universities.

''Race Does Not Exist''-- Or Does It?
For the past three decades many social scientists have, for reasons of both compassion and ideology, promulgated "explanations" increasingly divergent from those believed by the common man—to the credit of the common man and the shame of these social scientists.

They Are All Profilers Now
Some of the same Democrats who have routinely lambasted profiling are rushing to the floors of Congress and in front of TV cameras espousing these very same policies. An appropriate indictment of these two-faced Democrats.

'Hate Crime' Victims Young, Poor, White

Fight Ensues at Regional Tournament
Another step in the destruction of what used to be a civil society.

What Happened to Racism in Katrina?
The House report on Katrina is out. In 379 pages, plus 141 appendices, the report documents government failure in major areas that, if handled better, could have reduced the death and damage caused by Katrina. But it is also important to note what the report does not say. Nowhere is there any conclusion that the poor response resulted from racism.

The Flames of Hate in Alabama
Running through the coverage of the latest church burnings is an almost palpable yearning to cast the story in racial terms. To a media ever ready to expose racism in American culture, the arsonists' lack of regard for skin color must be maddening.

Affirmative Blackmail
The ABA orders law schools to practice racial preferences -- even if they have to break the law.

U.S. Gives Mexico Millions for Security
It's hard to imagine this gross misuse of the taxpayer's money. Giving money to a country whose president is dedicated to violating our borders is downright stupid.

Only Mozart
Some guys have it and some guys don't. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, now exactly 250 years old, obviously had it. By age eight he was already writing symphonies you can still hear on the radio.

Republican Representative Tom Tancredo said the United States was facing "a war" with renegade Mexican troops over the long, porous border.

Europe Hypocritical About Freedom of the Press
What hypocrisy. When it comes to what Germans are most sensitive about, Hitler and the Holocaust, they are ruthless censors. British historian David Irving has spent three months in a Viennese prison awaiting trial on Feb. 20 for speeches he made 15 years ago in Austria. Skeptics and deniers of the Holocaust are prosecuted, fined and imprisoned in Europe with the enthusiastic endorsement of the European press.

Boorish, Ignorant Behavior
An Atlantan's view of Joseph Lowery and Pres. Carter. This repugnant behavior was to be expected out of Joseph Lowery. He chose the occasion of the funeral of the widow of Martin Luther King Jr. to announce that we found no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Never mind that Lowery is wrong.

King's Funeral Turns Political
A disgusting lack of class! The outspoken Rev. Joseph Lowery, co-founder of Southern Christian Leadership Conference, ripped into President Bush during his short speech, ostensibly about the wife of Martin Luther King Jr.

Legacy Tangled Up In Profits
Another view of Coretta Scott King by black columnist Leonard Pitts. "Coretta Scott King founded the King Center, and the family has always controlled it. So it seems plain that she approved this money grubbing or at least tolerated it. And as a result, her kids have lost their minds."

Movie to Pay Tribute to Black Brothers in Arms
When it comes to the contribution of black soldiers to the Allied victory in World War II, Hollywood has produced few movies that do justice to their service. That is about to change.

An Alarming View of the State of the Union
A view very different from that of President Bush: The state of the union is disastrous. By its naked aggression, bullying, illegal spying on Americans, and illegal torture and detentions, the Bush administration has demonstrated American contempt for the Geneva Convention, for human life and dignity, and for the civil liberties of its own citizens.
