The Belly of the Beast: NYC’s Shiny New Transit Hub Is All Wrong for the 9/11 Site

By Carolyn Bratnober

…ying day all the unsuspecting people in those towers were attacked—and the number of New York’s finest who lost their lives helping people to safety.

Should you choose to go right, you would be directed to Ron Paul’s “Campaign for Liberty” site. Finding the “values” in this so-called humor has been completely lost on me. All of these little episodes were building up to something, to the awareness that I was not just an invisi…

The March for Life: Grassroots Movement or Agitprop?

By Patricia Miller

…for Life President Jeanne Mancini told the Times: I don’t think that these numbers are the most important. The number most important for us is 58 million, which is the number of Americans that have been lost to abortion. But either they have the numbers or they don’t. And if they don’t, maybe the media should take a hard look at how it covers a predictable, lightly attended act of agitprop which claims to represent hundreds of thousands of people…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…e says that he represents “1,000 rabbis” in this belief, but their own web site only boasts “800+ members” but does not list specific affiliations. The group of Ultra-Orthodox Jews have apparently been around since 1945, and “seeks to promulgate the cause of Torah-true Judaism through an organized rabbinate that is consistently Orthodox.” Levin says he agrees “with Eileen Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness that this will hurt the cohesi…
