  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion

    Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

  • How Radovan Karadzic Helped Cause 9/11

    It may not seem a reasonable assumption that an orthodox Chritsian, ex-doctor,failed poet and newly minted alternative medicine practitioner may have been a factor in the 9/11 attacks but his was one of the reasons behind the Jihadi resurgence in Europe and the radicalization of a generation of western born Muslims.

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • My daughter has learned history and women's rights from AG

    As a mom, I was not thrilled with the American Girl doll books. They are not great literature and they are tied into selling the dolls. On the other hand, they have given my daughter a basic framework of understanding for American History. She also cites them to talk about how girls were treated unfairly in the past. Overall, she has gained a ...

  • Patriotism, shame, and truth.

    I love the idea of America. Yet, the reality is that it has a hell of a lot of unacknowledged blood on its hands. This is not to say that terrorism isn't horrible or that Stalinism wasn't a much greater monster - but the US has some big dark skeletons hiding deep in its closet. Real American history is brutal and full of some genuinely ...
