For three decades, left-wing extremists have dominated American academics, spouting odd but seemingly harmless theories about "deconstruction," "post-modernism," "race, gender and class," while venting against the United States, its government and its allies....

AS THE SEASON of college graduations draws to a close, it is clear that, despite the massacres of September 11, many colleges are more determined than ever before to send graduates into the world with divisive and politicized ceremonies, eschewing the themes of optimism and unity traditionally associated with commencements....

The approval of a Department of Homeland Security is one of the more important things Congress can do in our war against Radical Islamists (to use Lou Dobbs’ new and vastly more appropriate terminology). Congress needs to do more than just approve the idea, however—they need to endorse the name as well. I’ve never liked euphemisms, and coming from the Left Elite I was instilled with the importance of words and the role they play in politics. If you control the definition, you control the deb...

MOST ORDINARY PEOPLE do not fit very neatly into any political category and may hold to a mix of views that include what would usually be seen as both Leftist and Rightist ideas. Among professional politicians and academics, however, there is generally a clearer polarization. So what is it that makes any given view "Rightist" or "Leftist"? In contemporary North American terms, what is it that makes one an archetypical "liberal" or an archetypical "conservati...

THE DISTASTE FOR ISRAEL EVIDENT in coverage of the current crisis is a mystery to me. I'm not talking about the Arabs, who have their own obvious reasons for hating Israel, not the least being that Israel is a living reproach to Islamic civilization's inability to adapt to the modern world. The weakness of Islam vis-à-vis a West it once terrified and dominated is exposed daily by the strength and confidence and prosperity of a tiny nation dwarfed by the population and resources and armies of ...

WINSTON CHURCHILL, many say, once said, "A man younger than 30 who's not a liberal has no heart and a man older than 30 who's not a conservative has no brain." But this fails to explain why so many Hollywood celebrities, even past their 30s, remain leftists....

Juneteenth on KPFA, 94.1 FM and the other 4 Pacifica stations is today, June 19, 2002. Turn on your radio; take your radio to work with or without earphones, and above all pledge to retire the debt left by the saboteurs we defeated with lawsuits in December 2001. You will hear Angela Davis, Alice Walker and others in 15 hours of programming commemorating the day when Texas slaves received the news of the Emancipation Proclamation that they were free, over 2 years after that proclamation was...

"What was that song about the train?" I ask Neta after the soldiers are
gone.
"Didn't you hear?" she asks me. "The soldiers came and got the old
woman, at one o'clock in the morning, and made her sing the song. I
don't think I'll ever be able to sing it again."...

This interview that I did with Ramona Africa was attacked by a racist using highly offensive but quite revealing language. I have decided to repost my interview with the racist comment out of a believe that the racists must be exposed and brought to light. Comments like this are not an exception. Many of my indymedia pieces have been met with similar crap....
