The Problem with Our Health-Care Debate
Everyone seems to have a different take on how to solve America’s health-care problem. But notice that every solution offered involves some elaborate new system of government controls. Different proposals include a “public option,” mandatory insurance for individuals, government-supported health-care exchanges, government-sponsored “efficacy research,” government-supported co-ops, and as many other ways of dictating consumer... »
Celebrating International Men’s Day- 2009
Today we mark another International Men’s Day, a celebration of men that began in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago. This not just a celebration, it is a day to take pause for a moment and consider where we have come from as men, and where we have yet to go. And for the first time... »
Thoughts from a Disordered Mind
I can’t stand it. I’m going to have a nurse set me up an IV Padre Kino machine. You’ve heard of a morphine drip? Cheap Mexican wine is a better deal. The supply is more dependable. DEA is trying to eradicate poppies, but hasn’t gotten to grapes. Yet. I’ll stay sozzled for the rest of... »
The Exploitation of the Mentally-Ill by Abuse Shelters
In the former Soviet Union, dissidents who saw fit to challenge the prevailing socialist ideology were deemed to be certifiable nut cases. These men were packed off to the loony asylum for a regimen of forced re-education – a bizarre form of treatment that later came to be known as “Soviet psychiatry.” In the United... »
Palin, Conservatism, And The Disconnected GOP
A close examination of the subtleties of the McCain political debacle reveals the truth of what heartland America was expressing during the past two major elections, and what the GOP needs to acknowledge if it is to turn the political tide back on the left. So far however, it does not seem to be... »
Is Climate Change a Feminist Issue?
I'm a big fan of simplicity. If an important insight or a complex set of circumstances can be explained in a simple and elegant way then I am all for it. Far too many people try to make things complicated, when a certain scenario could be explained in a more simple manner. On the... »
Who Was Nels Konnerup?
America honors its deceased presidents, its fallen troops, its late senators, and even its musicians and movie stars. But what about its veterinarians? Well, there’s one veterinarian who deserves pause for recognition. His name was Nels Konnerup. He recently passed away at age 92. Born in Everett, Washington on December 4, 1916, Konnerup was shaped by... »
Political Corruption Equivalent to Religion, according to British Judge
Ever wonder about the final straw that will bring down western civilization? A British judge may have created it. On November 3rd, Mr Justice Michael Burton, the same judge that allowed continued showing of An Inconvenient Truth to children in British schools even while recognizing it to be a dishonest political propaganda film decided... »
Obama: Gandy-Dancer-in-Chief
Rolling in Their Graves Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and Reagan — not to mention General Douglas MacArthur — must be rolling in their graves at the sight of Barack Obama genuflecting to Japanese Emperor Akihito. It was a supreme act of weakness, a lowpoint for the US presidency, a voluntary denigration of America. Should anyone be surprised?... »
Confronting Matriarchy and The False Premise of Feminism
All of western culture is ruled by a vast and invisible matriarchy operating from the shadows so its actions are nearly invisible. The foundations of this Matriarchy are maternal authority and women’s Superiority Complex. From the moment of birth, men are taught to defer to maternal authority. As soon as they enter public school,... »

Blaming Biological Destiny for Male Disposability is a Form of Learned Helplessness
Darrin Albert NCFM, MS Psychology As a masculist and scholar of mens psychology, I have often witnessed a less-than-savory mindset in the mens movement….which is the macho (a.k.a. brainwashed) propensity to “play the hero” and ignore man’s own oppression and highly preventable social problems that restrict their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. In psychology... »
Eleven Cognitive Biases that Help Sustain the Anti-male Double Standard in Society
Fortunately for American democracy, one-sidedness is not the case (at least in theory). We have what are called checks and balances. This is essential so as to restrict any of the three branches of government from monopolizing resources with their own self-interests and agendas. This is not to say that the judicial, executive, and... »
Mindless Spending 2: You’ll Get By with a Little Help from Your Friends (2009-11-16)
Mindless Spending 2: You’ll Get By with a Little Help from Your Friends (2009-11-16) by David John Marotta Both mindless eating and mindless spending rely on our subconscious need to follow scripts to pace our consumption. Community plays a huge role in regulating our financial destiny–either a path of savings that builds real wealth or a... »
Show Trial Goes To New York
Events wherein people using powerful weapons, funded with hundreds of millions of dollars, launch attacks against a country, its people, its embassies and other outposts, are not just “criminal acts,” they are Wars. Pretending that perpetrators of such acts are not “at war,” but are conducting a broad, concerted effort of criminality, flies in... »
Forever In Prejeans
I believe that some liberals have a double whammie of hypocrisy to account for: one, their lack of consistency in a standard that applies to conservatives (but never to them or their own kind) and, two, their colossal intolerance while portraying themselves as the tolerant ones. It’s the self-anointed of any proclivity who seem... »
Global Warming Cooling
The lamestream media told you: “Survey: Americans’ belief in global warming is cooling off,” according to Dina Cappiello, writing for AP. In a half page article, “Just 57 percent think there is solid evidence the world is getting warmer, down 20 percentage points in just three years, a new poll says.” The poll was conducted... »
The Fear of Loss and the Need for Approval: How Abusive Women Control Men
Why is it so difficult for men who are being controlled by narcissistic, borderline, histrionic and other abusive women to end the relationship?

Kimberly Munley, Jessica Lynch and the Path to Being a Media Heroine
But even if Munley’s actions ultimately prove exemplary, we need to acknowledge that were it not for the confusion created by the pursuit of a sensational story about a heroic woman, the headline would have simply read, “Gunman Taken Down by Police,” and Sgt. Todd would have been lucky to even have his name... »
