Mr. Baird: Stop Slandering Richard Falk

Is Israel “the bulwark of democracy in the Middle East”?!

Elizabeth May

Why Our Politicians Are More Zionist Than Our Jews By Lenni Brenner

9/9/12

Mike Lupica told it like it is in the June 15 New York Daily News, “More money will be spent” in this election “than on any political campaign in world history.” The New York Times editorially rages against the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision.… Read more
