Technocracy: No, Liberals AREN’T Smarter Than Conservatives
In my WND column this week, I tackled the notion that "science" has somehow "proven" liberals to be smarter than conservatives: Simple lies, distortions and urban legends propagated about conservatives and libertarians all pale in comparison to what is the most coveted of all libelous popular-culture mechanisms. I refer, of course, to the study. [...]
Technocracy: Self-Defense Shooters Motivated by Fear?
Are self-defense shooters motivated by fear? Duane Thomas, an experienced gun writer, claims so in the March 2010 issue of Dillon Precision's The Blue Press. I was so irate over this that I devoted my WND Technocracy column to it. Far from being motivated by fear, students of self-defense who train with weapons do so out of a sense of [...]
Technocracy: Does Intellectual Property Exist?
Does intellectual property exist? It does, and it must. That's the topic of this week's Technocracy, my WND column: You can't eat admiration; you can't spend applause. If we say there is no intellectual property, we're saying that the author of a book, the composer of a song and the director of a movie aren't adding any effort. Their work has [...]
Technocracy: We’re All On Obama’s Enemies List
My WND Technocracy column today targets Barack Hussein Obama's disdain for your civil liberties: Despite whatever muddled bureaucratic maneuvering and political posturing may take place, President Barack Hussein Obama is motivated by one overarching goal: the gradual but ultimately total destruction of the American people's civil rights. Whether [...]
Technocracy: Vaccine-Autism Link Is Falser Than Ever
My WND Technocracy column addresses the myth of vaccine-caused autism once more, in light of the recent retraction by Lancet: The irony is that Ms. Cournoyer and her fellow conspiracy theorists have never been more wrong than they are today. Lancet, the medical journal responsible for first promulgating this unsupported link between vaccines and [...]
Technocracy: Obama’s Totalitarian Plans for the Net
My WND Technocracy column this week is about the Obama administration's failure to protect and maintain that most vital of communication and information exchange infrastructure, the Internet: Think it won't be so bad? The FCC is already "worrying" that the popularity of Apple's new iPad device could "clog the Internet." Like all good little [...]
Technocracy: Why Send Naked Pix to Space Aliens?
My WND Technocracy column this week is about our willingness to set aside our common sense when it comes to the subject of intelligent life in outer space: ...f the aliens are more advanced, it would pretty damned stupid of us to act as the traveling Amway salesmen of the universe, beaming our address and phone number into the galaxy and asking [...]
Technocracy: Democrats’ Technological Thuggery
My WorldNetDaily Technocracy column this week is titled, "Democrats' Technological Thuggery." The damning evidence is clear: Democrats are violent, corrupt, arrogant and self-righteous. A Democrat believes that his cradle-to-grave ideology makes him special. Whatever a Democrat does is justified in his mind as what is best for the masses, [...]
Technocracy: “Google – Online Eye of Sauron?”
My Technocracy column this week is about Google and its efforts to dominate the galaxy. I use Google's products and I like them, but I do worry about privacy issues and Google's casual disregard for individual rights (not to mention customer support). http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=121857 In its efforts to become some [...]
I’m with Coco
From Entertainment Weekly: The Internet is a-buzz with support for Conan O’Brien, but there seems to be one image that’s the beating heart of the entire campaign. LA-based designer Mike Mitchell’s “I’m with Coco” poster has reached levels of ubiquity we haven’t seen since Shepard Fairey took on Obama. EW caught up with Mitchell, 27, [...]
