Who knew it meant preparing to defend themselves against purple-shirted union thuggery over community service? Kids, pay attention. This is a teachable moment for all of you on power, politics and Big Labor's culture of corruption.</description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/11/20/94360319/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/11/20/94360319/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:56:33 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Lopez: Truth-telling exposes feminists</title><description>Where have all the feminists gone?</description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/11/18/90074984/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/11/18/90074984/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:28:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Pitts: Struggling through the gray areas of life</title><description>They killed a killer last week.</description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/11/18/86107340/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/11/18/86107340/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:02:59 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>O'Reilly: Was Fort Hood terrorism or tragedy?</title><description>It&#x2019;s somewhat disconcerting, but the Obama administration continues to dance around the terrorism question. While a new Rasmussen poll shows 60 percent of Americans want the Fort Hood massacre investigated as a terrorist act, the president sees the mass murder as a &#x201c;tragedy&#x201d; and a violent crime. He told ABC News: &#x201c;In a country of 300 million people, there are going to be acts of violence that are inexplicable.&#x201d;</description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/11/16/37701004/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/11/16/37701004/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:42:25 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Marriage is the Maine point</title><description>Opposing gay marriage is a losing proposition.

I've never met Doug Hoffman, who is running for Congress there, and hadn't heard his name until fairly recently. But he's my guy this November. Along with a few other elections I'm following closely this coming Election Day, I will be rooting for a Hoffman victory. I'm not a constituent; my support is about integrity.</description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/10/28/51206516/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/10/28/51206516/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:31:42 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Lopez: Not so sweet charity</title><description>On a conference call with liberal religious leaders and activists this summer, President Obama said, &#x201c;I know there&#x2019;s been a lot of misinformation in this debate, and there are some folks out there who are, frankly, bearing false witness, but I want everyone to know what health insurance reform is all about.&#x201d; He uses words like &#x201c;ludicrous&#x201d; and &#x201c;fabrications&#x201d; to dismiss criticisms of his health care plan &#x2013; which is still, in fact, a work in progress, making a lot of people&#x2019;s legitimate worries about the uncertainty of it all very relevant. But here he wasn&#x2019;t just getting into a political dust-up with Sarah Palin &#x2013; a prominent critic of the reform &#x2013; nor was he dismissing Republicans in the House and Senate.

Joe Wilson of South Carolina was wrong to blurt out "You lie!" during a presidential health care pitch before a joint session of Congress in September. That is: civility and propriety required a different approach, at a different time. But the fact of the matter is: The White House does frequently, in fact, tell something other than the truth, especially if abortion is involved. </description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/10/15/36817071/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/10/15/36817071/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:11:45 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>A brave and inspiring sight</title><description>&#x201c;Do you love me, now that I can dance?&#x201d; &#x2013; The Contours, 1962</description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/09/29/35842396/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/09/29/35842396/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:35:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>ACORN scandal has deep roots</title><description>ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is a scandal. This story has become breaking news lately thanks to some recent guerilla journalism. But the problems of ACORN represent a broader, and even more scandalous idea: the conventional acceptance of the left's self-righteous claims to having a monopoly on all politics, policy and lifestyles that are good. </description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/09/23/26285992/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/09/23/26285992/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:32:13 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The John Adams project</title><description>When I think of the terrorist atrocity that happened eight years ago, I feel deeply for people like Vic and Christina Colaio. These two fine Americans lost their sons Stephen and Mark, who both worked in the World Trade Center. Along with their daughter, Jean, the elderly couple suffers their loss on a daily basis. Time does not heal those kinds of wounds.</description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/09/14/89115034/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/09/14/89115034/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:26:24 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>There's no expiration date on hate</title><description>&#x201c;Them Jews aren&#x2019;t going to let President Obama talk to me.&#x201d; &#x2013; the Rev.

Shot dead in a church by an anti-government militant, Tiller did not deserve his fate. Even though the man destroyed an estimated 60,000 fetuses that could have lived outside the womb, he was an American citizen entitled to protection. No matter what you think about abortion, it is a sad day for the country when vigilantism takes a life.</description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/06/08/33301554/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/06/08/33301554/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:12:49 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>For Cheney, fear is a beautiful thing</title><description>Let&#x2019;s talk about the next terrorist attack.</description><link>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/06/02/88237729/index.xml</link><guid>http://www.daily-chronicle.com/articles/2009/06/02/88237729/index.xml</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2009 23:36:56 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Truth from beauty all ye need to know</title><description>It&#x2019;s an odd day when Donald Trump becomes your hero.

After eight years of being nearly invisible to the media, the former vice president has come forth bearing wrath. He is now a man on a mission, an angry messenger.
