traditionally been hot to chase after great news stories and once they are on them, milk them until the general public is

the ground, has been the theft of the 2000 presidential election by the Bush Administration. Click For Story

Inflation Statistics? We all know that the
high price of fuel to operate our cars for the trip to and from our jobs, and to run the trucks that bring food, goods and

after 9-11, when George W. Bush launched his “war on terrorism,” we expressed a concern about the rash of so-called

Was Lincoln A Fascist Puppet Of Big Business? Every school child knows that Abraham Lincoln was among America's
greatest presidents. That is because they are told the textbook story about how the northern Union Army under his leadership
defeated the southern rebel Confederates, re-united a nation in division, and brought about the abolishment of slavery. But was Lincoln really the nice guy we think he was? Why was there a conspiracy that led to his assassination? Why
would any group hate such a national leader enough to want to commit such a crime? Much of the Lincoln story has been kept
out of the textbooks. Click For Story
