The Real Number of Protesters at the 9/12 Washington D.C. March

Because there is so much skepticism following the march on 12 September 2009, I created a 15-page unbiased research paper showing aerial footage, schematics, pictures and data comparing the Obama Inauguration, the March on Washington, the Promise Keepers Rally, and the 9-12 Project in terms of the amount of people who attended.

NBC: 'Blunt' Carter 'Prompted Us to Reexamine Our Assumptions About Race'

An evening after trumpeting President Jimmy Carter's racism charge, NBC led Wednesday night with the “fallout” as Andrea Mitchell proposed that though “many thought” the “racial divisions” were “healed by the election of the first African-American President,” Carter's “blunt comments” have “prompted us to re-examine our assumptions about race” -- as if everyone is like those at NBC who adjust their views based on what Carter says.

Economic Flim-Flam

Economics is not difficult to understand. It takes PhDs, politicians, and other “experts” to confuse us. But these guys could not get away with their economic confusion if we didn’t want to fall for their false claims that if we only give up some our freedoms and other people’s money we’ll all be better off. Too many of us want to believe that something can come from nothing, lunches are free, and we’re owed a living.

When Bush spoke to students, Democrats investigated, held hearings

when President George H.W. Bush delivered a similar speech on October 1, 1991, from Alice Deal Junior High School in Washington DC, the controversy was just beginning. Democrats, then the majority party in Congress, not only denounced Bush's speech -- they also ordered the General Accounting Office to investigate its production and later summoned top Bush administration officials to Capitol Hill for an extensive hearing on the issue.
