Hunger Games Score a Point for Freedom
24 Mar 2012 by Jessica Hughes / 1 Comment
I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but when I see not only pubescent girls but grown women swooning over a sparkling teenage vampire `a la Twilight I am less than inspired with confidence in the future of critical thought here in the U.S. of A. But when I read the story of a young girl with the courage to defy those who would use her for their own political games – and I see young and old flocking to both bookstores and theatres – a lot of that confidence is restored.

Conservative Collectivism: The Indispensable Individual (Ch 2)
05 Feb 2012 by Jessica Hughes / 10 Comments
I have asserted that collectivism is the seed of evil that corrupts all of its outgrowths from fascism to socialism and every philosophy that rests in part on the notion that people should subvert their natural self interest to the ‘higher good’ of society.

Very quickly I learned that Agenda 21 was a plan brought about by the United Nations back in 1992, and then president George HW Bush along with several other countries agreed to participate in its implementation.

Conservative Collectivism: There is no Common Good (Ch 1)

[W]e recognize that Socialism has many close relations: Fascism, Communism, Nazism, Corporatism, and even those doctrines named for their murderous implementers: Maoism, Stalinism and so on. They differ on some salient points such as who should be exterminated in order to eradicate dissent but they all share one overarching concern – one scapegoat for their atrocities, one end to justify their means – advancing the Common Good.
