Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "During the first two weeks of February, military bases and schools across the country will join dozens of other organizations is holding annual 'prayer breakfasts' and luncheons in coordination with the controversial National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC. While military chaplains are expected to provide non-denominational options to those in uniform, critics charge that prayer breakfasts sometimes favor conservative and evangelical brands of Christianity that are intolerant of other faiths and perspectives."

Why should God bless America?

by Al Duncan

For centuries hypocrites, professing to be Christians, have defamed God and Christianity by their lies, thievery, drunkenness, adultery, warmongering and all their ungodly ways. But the true Christian, whom Christ characterized as his disciples by their love one for another, were also commissioned to share his love and way of life with others, are now being marginalized and constrained to a state of fear. And so I conclude as.....

The Media in America: Selling Views, Calling it News

By Prof. John Kozy

America's journalists are not "newshounds." They are nothing more than salesclerks, hocking the products their employers want to sell. The pretty faces that now function as most television news anchors are no different than the pretty models used to sell other products.

These lies were told not only to distort public opinion and justify prosecuting WikiLeaks for doing nothing more than engaging in journalism, but also to coerce private corporations (MasterCard, Amazon, Visa, Paypal) to cut all services to the group.

The punitive incarceration of alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning is cruel, certainly, but far from unusual in the US.

Saad Iqbal Madni looks decades older than his 33 years when he shuffles into the room, head down and eyes averted. "There are a lot of times I start to cry. I still feel like I am in Guantanamo," he says, his voice cracking and hands trembling. "I have memorized the torture. I wake up in the middle of the night screaming."

Imperial shooting sprees

CounterPunch
by Joe Mowrey

01/19/11

It is tragic that six people lost their lives and many more were wounded by a fanatic in Arizona. Indiscriminate killing is a terrible thing. There is no way we can truly comprehend the motives behind this act, nor appreciate the full extent of the pain and heartache suffered by those affected. But behind the pathos surrounding this crime is an ugly truth. Though we profess indignant sorrow for those who died at the hands of a madman in Arizona, we willfully ignore the deaths of innocents which occur every day as a result of our own government's foreign policies...

The nanny state and baby cribs

Future of Freedom Foundation Future of Freedom Foundation
by Laurence M. Vance

01/19/11

The federal government is routinely condemned for being cruel, inept, paternalistic, evil, inefficient, and intrusive ? except when it comes to the subject of child safety. Indeed, in the name of child safety the most flagrant violations of civil liberties, private property, and the Constitution are routinely accepted by those who might ordinarily have nothing but condemnation for the monstrosity that is our federal government...

The Machiavellian states of America?

Campaign For Liberty Campaign For Liberty
by Daniel O'Connor

01/19/11

Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) was the preeminent political philosopher of his time, whose immeasurable influence still resonates today, perhaps even more so than ever. His book, The Prince, has remained as a very widely read book throughout the globe for the past century, and before. In fact, it was the advent of the printing press, which came to existence just before his time, which helped disseminate his political philosophy across Continental Europe into the hands of Kings, Queens and major philosophical figures...

What you can do to detoxify political debate

Strike The Root Strike the Root
by Robert Kaercher

01/20/11

The Tucson massacre is now serving as the pretext for new Federal speech laws. Now I don?t want to come off like some kind of paranoid, anti-government nutjob, but there is much potential for governmental abuse in such legal language as 'to incite violence.' But that?s one of the many nifty perks of being a ruler. You?re in the unique position of simply asserting causal links between acts of violence and expressions of speech while never having to worry about being held accountable for the acts of violence carried out at your command on nearly a daily basis...
