All Right Magazine Announces X-50 Project Covering All 50 States
Published By: All Right Magazine on May 28, 2010
All Right Magazine has begun an ambitious project to cover conservative news and views in all 50 states in the union. Often it’s the local issues that go unnoticed for years and then suddenly become national news, and we want to hear it first from the grassroots.
The idea is to submit a state update weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly (up to you) in order to 1. give a voice to issues that otherwise go unnoticed and 2. promote your work to people in search of such voices.

Duverger’s Law: How Third-Party and Independent Candidates Can Win Elections
Published By: All Right Magazine on July 28, 2010
By KAREN Y. MURRAY
Duverger’s Law is often cited by conservative groups as a justification for not endorsing third-party and independent candidates who have successfully passed their strict vetting process. It is the basis of the argument that third party and independent candidates split the conservative vote and allow liberals to win, and therefore there should only be two parties so forces with similar philosophies can combine to defeat the “enemy.” This misunderstanding of the sociological phenomena inherent in various electoral systems, as observed by French sociologist Maurice Duverger, has led to the deterioration of the original Constitutional Republic. Understanding this process and understanding the characteristics of the original electoral system of the United States can help us restore a government where the people, not parties, have the final say in governing themselves.

In France in 1788, the First and Second Estates, that is the nobility and the clergy paid no taxes, but the Third Estate, the commoners, did. Mr. Geithner would do well to look up the year 1789 in some dusty old history book.

Tea Party Caucus Used to Further Neocon Agenda
Published By: All Right Magazine on July 27, 2010
By ROBERT STARK
The Tea Party movement started out with liberty activist, most of whom were supporters of Ron Paul and has gained large scale support among Americans frustrated at the Obama administration. The movement is not an official organization but includes organizations which claim to speak for the movement. There is not an official political platform but the overall bent of the movement is for less government and taxes. While it may appear Tea partiers agree on most issues there is strong potential for division within the movement. On foreign policy and movement includes both who supported the War and anti-war activist.
Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann founded a Tea Party Caucus for the US Congress, which now has 44 members all of whom are Republicans. Now the Tea Party will be forced to take a divisive stand on core issues. On illegal immigration and opposition to Wall Street Bailouts Bachmann see’s eye to eye with the Tea Party base; however, Bachmann’s has strong views in regards to Mideast affairs. At an event for The Republican Jewish Coalition said that God will curse American if we “fail to stand with Israel.”

Oliver Stoned!
Published By: All Right Magazine on July 27, 2010
By PAUL SCHNEE
An article by Danielle Berrin in this week’s Jewish Journal about Oliver Stone’s intention to make a documentary putting Hitler “in context” shows how far Mr. Stone has strayed into the realm of fantasy. I suspect this effort will probably illustrate just how often the bong is passed around Mr. Stone’s house, as did his film JFK, which was riddled with invention and dramatic licence of the most misleading kind stretching the ‘willing suspension of disbelief’ to the breaking point.
I do so hope that we are not going to be treated to an examination of the part that the “appeasers” in Britain and Europe played in the march towards the outbreak of World War II as if this was not already well known. The motives, activities, sympathies, and personalities of the “Cliveden Set” and their camp followers are all public knowledge today and there is little that Mr. Stone can add, other than his fanciful interpretation, that would enhance our understanding of that time in history. If, on the other hand, he made a film about the “appeasers’ of today, then he might find himself, along with many of the Hollywood glitteratti, in one of the leading roles.

Mexico and Israel Lobby should Examine Their Own Immigration Policies before Condemning Arizona
Published By: All Right Magazine on July 27, 2010
By ROBERT STARK
The Anti-Defamation League and the Government of Mexico have filed separate lawsuits against the State of Arizona over it’s new immigration law which will take affect July 29. Lawyers representing Mexico filled a brief supporting the law suit which was brought of by the ACLU which they are taking to Federal Court claiming that the law violates the U.S. Constitution. The document put out by the Government of Mexico states that the law threatens “the human and civil rights of its citizens when they are present in Arizona.” Mexican President Felipe Calderon has condemned the bill, stating it “opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement.”
While the Government of Mexico is outraged about Arizona its own immigration laws are far harsher than Arizona’s. While Arizona’s calls for the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants under Mexican Law entering the country illegally is punishable by up to two years in prison and an attempted re-entry by up to 10 years. Those who violate their visas can be sentenced to up to six years and the government of Mexico has the authority to arrest foreigners whom it deems as a threat to its national and economic interest.

Impossible or Ill-Considered Rules of Engagement
Published By: All Right Magazine on July 27, 2010
By Dr. AVI PERRY
War is a horrific business. I don’t like it; neither do I wish to have it forced upon us. Nevertheless, the U.S. is fighting a war in Afghanistan, and Israel prepares for the next round with Hamas, Hezbollah and their puppet master—Iran. The Islamic enemy, in both cases, is playing by their own barbaric rules—unrecognized by the Geneva Convention or by any civilized society, but advocated in the Qur’an. They care about human life in so far as we fret about the next mosquito’s; they behead their POWs, enslave their women, terrorize their own people, their own children, abuse them, use them as body armor. All because both U.S. and Israel made it clear—human shields are the most effective defense for safeguarding the Shahid and the Mujahidin.

Teacher Gets Unjustly Terminated, Starts New Blog With New Perspective
Published By: All Right Magazine on July 27, 2010
By JIM BLOCKEY
There is a new blog that has a whole new perspective on education, by the Author of Teachers… It Ain’t Your Fault.
I was a teacher for 20 years before being terminated for my pro-Conservative values and anti-liberal mentality of the school system. In fact, I was terminated the same week the book came out.
We need to take back education, or even if we take back America we will not keep it.

Freedom From Tyranny Is Our Goal
Published By: All Right Magazine on July 27, 2010
King George III
By Dr. ROBERT OWENS
When taxes become destructive they surpass the consent of the governed bending to the will of tyranny. When regulations strangle competition instead of securing it from evil combinations they become counterproductive and defeat the very purpose for which they were proposed. When foreign entanglements bleed the nation but do not secure the peace or defeat the enemy they become interventionist vehicles for vested interests. When spending becomes a hemorrhaging of assists leading to national bankruptcy those who continue to pile debt upon debt seek not the good of the nation but instead its destruction. When leaders selected to unite instead do all they can to divide they no longer advance the interest of the whole and are instead partisan leaders in a factional fight.
A social contract is one made between a people and their government. It is an agreement whereby the people surrender certain aspects of their independence for the guarantee of corporate security and the enjoyment of a general welfare. In the case of most countries this is an unwritten and unconscious arrangement built upon tradition and precedent as in the case of England. However, in the United States we have an actual contract, the Constitution. This was ratified by the original states and the subsequent states were formed under it and admitted as full partners to it.
