|
05.05.2006, 22:20

US vice-president Dick Cheney has delivered the Bush administration's strongest criticism of Russia to date, saying resident Vladimir Putin's regime has "unfairly and improperly restricted the rights of her people" and accusing Kremlin of turning oil and gas into "tools of intimidation or blackmail".
The extraordinarily harsh attack was delivered in a speech on Thursday (4 May) at a high-level conference of east European leaders in Lithuania's capital, Vilnius.
"In many areas of civil society - from religion and the news media, to advocacy groups and political parties - the government has... [read more] |

Economists call for political union to prevent euro collapse
|
24.04.2006, 21:07
|
Prominent Belgian economist Paul de Grauwe has argued the euro is bound to collapse in 10 to 20 years as there is no clear progress towards a political union in Europe.
Professor De Grauwe from the Catholic University of Leuven, advocated the creation of the common currency in the 1990s but his forthcoming research paper will present evidence of the euro's risks for the future, news agency AFP reports.
"A political union is the logical end-point of a currency union," Mr De Grauwe told Belgian weekly, The Business, adding "The monetary... [read more] |

Social Justice

There is nothing to be afraid of. The so called social injustice, the division into the poor the and rich is not abnormal – it is a completely natural state.
The battle cry of communists, socialists and other leftists is equality. According to the left-wing, the ideal society consists of citizens who are all equal, not only in terms of law, but also in the social and economic terms. That is the reason why communists used to take off the wealth of the rich in the first place and give it... [read more] |

„Roman Dmowski could speak fluently 9 languages, Władysław Konopczynski – 14!”
There is no doubt that learning foreign languages is necessary in today’s reality. The tightening of the international cooperation, the development of the great transnational organisations and the exchanges of the scientists between countries oblige us to learn the foreign languages and cultures.
As the countries leading in the world economy are English-speaking, it is the English language that is present in the world of politics. The universal language (lingua franca) in the 18th century was French. Now it is necessary... [read more] |

Barroso’s Advisor Speaks His Mind: Do We Need the EU?
|
19.04.2006, 13:18
|
 “In an interview with Belgian daily De Morgen (18 March) Commission President Jose Barroso’s economic advisor Professor Paul de Grauwe has argued that the euro has damaged Italy’s economy, and that without ‘political union’ in Europe, the euro will collapse in ten to twenty years. He also argued that the EU’s Lisbon process, which forms the backbone of the Commission’s efforts to make Europe more competitive, ‘is best buried.’”
He said, “Sometimes I wonder: do we still need the European Union? I start to have doubts about that. It is sufficient... [read more] |

30ft high Jerusalem wall bars pilgrims' way
|
19.04.2006, 13:03
|
Pilgrims wishing to follow in the footsteps of Jesus to Jerusalem from the place where he raised Lazarus from the dead will soon need their own miracle, as the ancient route is about to be severed by the Jerusalem wall.
The cutting of the two-mile path from Bethany over the Mount of Olives and down past the Garden of Gethsemane into the Old City will end a tradition begun more than 1,600 years ago by the earliest Christian pilgrims.
"It is a great pity because we are all children of God," said... [read more] |

French debate over family
|
29.03.2006, 23:04
|
A French parliamentary commission that spent a year studying changes in the family concluded that France should not allow homosexual couples to marry or to adopt children. The 30-member multi-party commission reported back in late January to the French National Assembly with 100 proposals for adapting the country's family law to changing circumstances. However, it said that France should not follow the most permissive foreign legislation.
Referring to United Nations instruments, the report affirms that the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society, entitled to protection by... [read more] |

Mothers and fathers redundant in post-gay 'marriage' Spain
|
29.03.2006, 23:00
|
Mothers and fathers in Spain are in danger of being officially re-labelled Progenitor (parent) A and Progenitor B, whether they like it or not. That's how they would appear henceforth in the Family Book of the civil registries, according to a government decree issued last week. The Minister of Justice said the move was necessary because the law now allowed for same-sex "marriages". Such couples are also allowed to adopt children.
Almost immediately, however, the government back-pedalled, claiming that the Family Book model with mother and father will co-exist beside... [read more] |

Selective tolerance in Holland

29.03.2006, 22:54

Since 1 March people who want to settle in the Netherlands are required to pass a preliminary exam at the Dutch embassy in their native country. This so-called “integration test” includes a film which exposes the would-be immigrants to scenes of kissing homosexual men and topless women. The message is that “If you can’t tolerate gay lifestyle and public nudity, you can’t come.”
Citizens from EU member states and from Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan are exempt from the test. Fortunately this applies to the United States, too.... [read more] |

US colleges dither over moral education
|
21.03.2006, 21:32

More than half of all faculty in higher education in the US say it is important that undergraduates develop moral character and enhance their self-understanding, a new survey shows. Few colleges, however, actually tackle this task and the survey, conducted among 421 institutions by a team at the University of California at Los Angeles, indicates why: moral education involves spiritual values, and most professors run shy of such discussions.
Less than a third of professors in the survey said colleges should facilitate a student's spiritual development, while a similar survey... [read more] |

Two Faces Of Xenophobia
|
14.03.2006, 15:39

By saying that the opponents of the European Integration are xenophobic, Bruxelles keeps public opinion in the dark. People seem not to take a blind bit of notice of the fact that the advocates of the integration fight most fiercely against the sense of national identity. Opposed to the EU, All Polish Youth proved to be the most firm supporters of promoting other nations` cultures.
The argument that All Polish Youth is xenophobic is out-and-out lie. All Polish Youth go to great lengths to get on well with foreigners. Not only... [read more] |

Evangelized foreign policy
|
10.03.2006, 21:41

WASHINGTON – When President Bush recently used a public forum to announce his support for a more robust international intervention in Sudan's Darfur region - catching even some of his senior aides off guard - it was yet another milestone for the rising interest of Christian evangelicals in US foreign policy.
In just a few years, conservative Christian churches and organizations have broadened their political activism from a near-exclusive domestic focus to an emphasis on foreign issues.
As Mr. Bush gave his attention to Darfur, one of the world's most high-profile humanitarian... [read more] |

Feminists rear their ugly heads

It is said that time flies. In spite of the fact that one thinks about skiing, the spring has come and brought with her the 7th manifestation in the name of women`s rights.
Bird Flu
The public opinion must have come to terms with the fact that the demonstrations of the feminists coupled with leftists take place round about March 8. Fed up with such poor performances, we could pay no attention to them but the topics do not let us do so.
The fact of the matter is that this year`s... [read more] |

Father Jonathan Robinson on Recovering the Liturgy
TORONTO, FEB. 17, 2006 (Zenit.org).- Cardinal John Henry Newman said that bad practice is based on confused and false principles, and it is by an often bitter experience that we finally see the truth. Oratorian Father Jonathan Robinson concurs -- especially in the case of the contemporary Mass. In his book "The Mass and Modernity: Walking to Heaven Backward" (Ignatius), the superior of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Toronto and rector of St. Philip's Seminary asserts that confused and false principles have...

In Traditionalist`s Eye

Relativism shuttles established values, shifts the scope of social phenomena`s acceptability. Radical relativism assumes that two contradictory judgments can be true to the same extent.”
The twentieth century was deemed by the brave collapse of humanity; a century that brought down upon us more disasters and defeats than ever. If anybody asked me today what is the biggest threat for the contemporary society, I would say without any hesitation: relativism. So inconspicuous, somewhat hidden, underestimated and surely hard to be specified. Facing the dangers posed by relativism, I am blind to... [read more] |

South Dakota Nears Abortion Ban
|
28.02.2006, 21:20

 PIERRE, South Dakota - State lawmakers voted Friday to ban nearly all abortions in South Dakota and sent the measure to the governor, who said he is inclined to sign it.
Under the legislation, doctors in South Dakota would face up to five years in prison for performing an abortion unless it was necessary to save the woman's life.
The bill directly targets Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. State lawmakers believe the nation's highest court is now more likely to reverse itself on the abortion... [read more] |

Regular viewers of the Kuba Wojewódzki show had the opportunity to watch the poor performance given by Kazimiera Szczuka. Accompanied by Wojewódzki, she was making jokes at Magdalena Buczek and Radio Maryja listeners` expense.
In spite of the fact that Miss Szczuka had an opportunity to present herself as an intelligent woman she claims to be, she once again proved to be the weakest link. What she did was to laugh at Miss Buczek`s voice. Indifferent to the fact that Magdalena is disabled, Kazimiera called her the old girl.

| Regarded as part and parcel of Polish politics, and the proof of anticommunism, the aversion to Russia is said to be our apple of discord. When an honest politician wants to dispel the rumours that he used to be a communist he is supposed to criticise Putin. If you do not find fault with him at least once a day, the accusations of communism will be levelled against you. It will be you who is to blame for all Stalin`s crimes. Interested in this poor performances, the public opinion seems... [read more] |

The cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad and the ensuing riots hit the headlines. The acts of setting a few embassies on fire shocked the Public Opinion. Since even very calm French set their neighbours’ cars on fire when they lose their temper, nobody should be taken aback by the riots. Every commentator started to be an expert in the field of Muslim traditions. It turned out that there are 300,000 Muslims and the presence of their priest in the Polish army is a must.
