The Pamphleteer |
|
|
During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree.
The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

Powerhouse Profits 4. Weekly Politickle, by F.R. Duplantier ----- 1. Book of the Month: "Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (and the Rest of Us)", by Mona Charen The problem with good intentions is that they often prompt action that results in bad things. In fact this is more often than not the case. Mona Charen points out some of the bad things that have resulted from good intentions in recent American History. She points out that true compassion, true good intentions would take the effect of actions into account, making social policy more conservative, indeed, more conservative.

Articles North Korea is China’s "Borrowed Knife" Alan Caruba / Anxiety Center -- It just never fails to amaze me how, throughout history and, in particular, the last century, nations great and small saw what was coming and yet were unable or unwilling to stop two world wars and an endless spate of smaller, but no less deadly conflicts. Which brings us to today where we peer across the vast Pacific Ocean at North Korea and wonder whether its leader is insane enough to launch a nuclear-armed missile at us or maybe just at South Korea or Japan? More... http://www.conservativemonitor.com/opinion04/180.shtml Facts Versus Fears on Biotechnology Paul Driessen and Cyril Boynes, Jr / Eco-Imperialism -- The Congress of Racial Equality’s recent conference, video and commentary on agricultural biotechnology* presented personal testimonials from African farmers whose lives have been improved by GM crops, impressive data on progress, and a message of hope for poor, malnourished people in developing countries. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. More... http://www.conservativemonitor.com/opinion04/179.shtml How to Stop the Flood of Illegal Aliens Tom DeWeese / American Policy Center -- The issue that will define our era and determine the nation’s future is illegal immigration. Political debate is full of schemes like “guest worker” programs and temporary worker cards to allow illegals to “fill jobs that Americans just don’t want to do.” Such programs are really just political doublespeak from politicians who lack the intestinal fortitude to protect the borders of the United States. More... http://www.conservativemonitor.com/opinion04/178.shtml Simpsons Episode On Gay Marriage Not A Flaming An Outrage! Frederick Meekins / -- When most heard sodomite matrimony was coming to the quintessential American town of Springfield, most assumed the abomination would be heralded with typical Hollywood applause and accolades. And though I would be uncomfortable with letting younger children view the episode, it was not without humorous aspects exposing the hypocrisy inherent to this social outrage.
