A View from the Right Science, POLITICS, & Religion

Who Guards the Guardians? In his book The Tyranny of Tolerance: A Sitting Judge Breaks the Code of Silence to Expose the Liberal Judicial Assault, Judge Robert Dierker reveals and discusses the many ways in which radical liberals in the U.S. courts — judges and attorneys — have eaten away at our constitutional liberties. The […]

Today’s excerpt is from Judge Andrew P. Napolitano’s controversial, no-holds-barred book Lies the Government Told You: In the 1978 case of Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, the Supreme Court held that affirmative action policies in publicly owned college admissions are constitutional, but institutions cannot employ a “quota system” based on race. That […]

The following is an excerpt from the book The Tyranny of Tolerance: A Sitting Judge Breaks the Code of Silence to Expose the Liberal Judicial Assault, by Judge Robert H. Dierker Jr.: “Religiously Based Divisiveness” Even Justice Stephen Breyer has recognized the danger of attempting to purge religion from public life. In 2005, voting to […]

The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they can not […]

If you watch national news, you may have noticed a lot of attention being given lately to a particularly horrible crime. One day in 2007, two home invaders terrorized and tormented a Connecticut family for 7 hours — including savagely beating the husband/father, raping & strangling the wife/mother, raping the younger daughter (and possibly the […]

Would you boycott a book called Marijuana-Lover’s Guide to Growing Cannabis, perhaps published by High Times magazine? I probably wouldn’t. The moral issue is a bit ambiguous (to me, anyway) and the legal issue depends on where you are and what your purpose for growing cannabis is. How about How to Build a Better Bomb: […]

In 2009, 43.6 million people were counted as poor in the United States. The poverty rate — i.e., the percent of the population considered poor under the official definition — was reported at 14.3% in 2009. That is one out of every seven persons in the U.S. being counted as poor. (I wonder how those […]

Poverty is a terrible thing and, in many cases, avoidable and unnecessary. Especially in the United States. What puts & keeps people in poverty? Without going into a huge discussion, I think the causes can be grouped into two, broad categories: environmental circumstances and personal choices. (By “environmental”, I do not mean ecological; rather, I’m […]

I like George Clooney… sometimes. I liked his character on ER. His movies have been hit-n-miss, though, and there’s not much difference between a lot of the characters he plays. What I mean is, the characters may be different, but his acting range is… narrow. Still, he seems like an intelligent and affable guy. Perhaps […]

“Do I gotta get water from the Moon? Is that what I gotta do to make you love me?” Good news, Celine! It’s there! (No green cheese, yet, though.) It all began last year, when NASA’s LCROSS Mission crashed a spent-fuel, Centaur rocket into a lunar crater at 5,600 miles an hour — on purpose. […]
