Two 'Must' Reads

  • Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's Off To War We Go..

  • This country's most expendable commodity is its children and, with few exceptions, Americans appear to be both senseless and blind.
  • By Sheila Samples
  • They're coming after our children -- sweeping them all up -- bullying them at schools, stalking them, offering them big bucks to join the military. And there's no one to stop them. Servile Americans, even those who can still see, feel helpless.

  • The Myth of U.S. Cultural, Religious, Political, and Social Superiority
  • The concept of Manifest Destiny describes the 19th century conviction that God intended the continent of North America to be under the control of Christian, European Americans.
  • By Kristina M. Gronquist
  • Although the shameful concept of Manifest Destiny should be confined to history books, it has reared its ugly head, as reflected in our government’s 21st century mission to reshape the Middle East. Of course, the psychology of Manifest Destiny – the projection of Anglo-Saxon supremacy - never really went away, it has always been used to justify America’s expansionist adventures.
