The prison population is greater in the United States than in any other country in the world, surpassing even Communist China. More than 1% of the American population is in jail, some on very long prison sentences for dubious crimes. Mens rea, or criminal intent, is no longer strictly required before sentencing someone to jail, as it used to be. Politicized prosecutions are increasingly commonPhyllis Schlaflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930380089191812969noreply@blogger.com1

A CALL OF CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family. It was in this tradition that a group of prominent Christian clergy, ministry leaders, and scholars released the Manhattan Declaration on EagleHQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11651769185405454458noreply@blogger.com0

Charles Murray is the author of some important books about the state of our American society and the consequences of our overspending taxpayers' money on the welfare state. His latest book is called "Coming Apart: 1960 to 2010." An excerpt from his book was printed in the Wall Street Journal that I want to share with you because I think it is so important. Here is the extensive quotation from Phyllis Schlaflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930380089191812969noreply@blogger.com0

The most expensive item in our bloated federal budget is the cash and benefits given to the 47% of the American people who pay no income tax and depend for their living expenses in whole or in part on government handouts. This federal welfare apparatus includes 12 programs providing food, 10 for housing assistance, 10 for social services, 9 for educational assistance, 8 programs giving cash, 8 Phyllis Schlaflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930380089191812969noreply@blogger.com0

Shaken Baby Syndrome is a theory promoted by the child abuse industry. It causes wrongful convictions of loving caregivers when sick infants die during their watch. These cases lack outward evidence of abuse, such as a broken skull or neck, but are prosecuted based on symptoms like tiny internal bleeding. Shaken Baby Syndrome is never witnessed, but sends many innocent people to long jail Phyllis Schlaflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930380089191812969noreply@blogger.com0

A Discover blog compares Hispanic views in the USA to see if they are really socially conservative. It finds that their views are comparable to white non-Hispanics. The one big exception was with marriage, where Hispanics are twice as likely to want to make divorce easier. Easier? All 50 states have no-fault divorce laws where either spouse can unilaterally obtain a divorce at any time and for Rogerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474078324293158376noreply@blogger.com0

Marriage is already obsolete in Quebec Canada, and replaced with something else: De facto spouses are defined by Quebec’s law as two people who have been living together for a year or more without being married and who check the “couple” box on their income tax statement form. Quebec’s lawmakers have deliberately chosen not to give de facto couples the same rights and responsibilities that Rogerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474078324293158376noreply@blogger.com0

The eagle is a gorgeous and most impressive bird. It's no wonder that it was chosen to be honored as the American bird. I have been blessed to live in a area where eagles congregate every winter. They come down the three rivers, the Mississippi, the Missouri and the Illinois, and Alton, Illinois is about as far south as many of them care to go in the winter. It is a federal crime to kill an Phyllis Schlaflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930380089191812969noreply@blogger.com0

Long, long ago, I was a Girl Scout and I loved every bit of what we did and what the Scouts stood for. I was proud to have five gold stars for five years of perfect attendance. But the Girl Scouts are different now. About 30 years ago, the Girl Scouts put Betty Friedan on its national board, and the organization the moved decidedly left and feminist. Now, the Girl Scouts have a Phyllis Schlaflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930380089191812969noreply@blogger.com1

Here is some climate science news: By sailing to the New World, Christopher Columbus and other explorers who followed him may have set off a chain of events that cooled Europe’s climate. The European conquest of the Americas decimated the people living there, leaving large areas of cleared land untended. Trees that filled in this territory pulled billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the Rogerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474078324293158376noreply@blogger.com0

Yesterday on this series of programs I told you about how many parents are concerned about Islamic indoctrination in the history textbooks used in public schools. The Texas State School Board is doing something about this. It just passed a resolution requiring that Islamic propaganda be deleted from the textbooks.

Conservatives argue in favor of family values, and many immigrants have very strong family values, so it is sometimes argued that conservatives should favor increased immigration. That argument is wrong. Family has supreme importance to the Chinese. Filial piety is almost a religion to them. The highest virtue of Confucianism is ancestor worship and respect for parents.

Charter schools have opened up a path for foreigners to run schools at the expense of U.S. taxpayers, mostly without news coverage. A Turkish group, called the Gulen Movement, which is headed by a Turkish preacher named Fethullah Gulen, had established a network of schools in 100 other countries. He them opened his first U.S. charter school in 1999. Gulen's schools spread rapidly after he Phyllis Schlaflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930380089191812969noreply@blogger.com0

I was hoping to get some substantive comments responding to my posting on America is becoming non-white, below, but I only got hate mail. This woman's comment is typical of the more polite messages: You are delusional and insulated if you think the Ozzie and Harriett family ever existed for real.

When I visited London, I knew my life as a pedestrian was always in danger. The automobiles were always coming from where I didn't expect them because the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road. Same way for the Brits who visit over here. An English woman named Laurie Penny was crossing Sixth Avenue in New York and looking the wrong way.
