To a racist, everything is about race!
Yes, the United States has a history of racism. Not the one you’ve been led to believe, where everyone everywhere was racist. Ignoring the real history of racism is part of what’s keeping it alive.

The GOP FISA Sellout! Unreasonable searches for the promise of the intelligence community to keep us safe

America’s injustice system
Most people have an innate sense of justice. Noah Webster defined justice in his 1828 dictionary as: The virtue which consists in giving to every one what is his due. However, based on recent evidence, it appears America doesn’t really have a “justice system;” rather, what we have is “Just a System.” After all, how…

The key to protecting our rights in America
The first Chief Justice of the United States, John Jay, foresaw that there would be attacks on our rights. He also told us how to protect ourselves against those attacks. Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the constitution of his country, and teach the rising generation to be free….
