‘Comrade Obama Says Fight Terrorism While Democrats Think It’s Cool?’
Demercrats item by
Asst-Editor
(7/24/08)
About 90% of Democrats appear to embrace terrorism as the way to get their way. ALF and ELF are indirectly endorsed or embraced by the Progressive Democrat leadership.
Food Is Slowly Becoming A Privilege Of The Elites
Food item by
Malcolm Hedges
(7/24/08)
The privileged elitists in Congress have declared that using food crops to produce the hoax “ethanol” is more than important than feeding people!
Lawmakers Who Vote Against Our Security Deserve Our Scorn
National Security item by
OffSite
(7/24/08)
Last week, there was an interesting development in the U.S. House of Representatives that will give Americans a clear view as to exactly where their individual representatives stand on the war of ideas in fighting Jihad.
Judicial Watch Sues US Gov’t. On Behalf of Imprisoned Border Agents
Big Brother item by
Jim Kouri
(7/24/08)
Ignacio “Nacho” Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, the two Border Patrol agents shamelessly prosecuted by the U.S. government for shooting and wounding a Mexican drug smuggler, Oswald Aldrete-Davila, on February 17, 2005, have not been forgotten by many Americans—such as attorney’s from Judicial Watch—who are actively pursuing their release from captivity.
A Word To The Wise…
Election 2008 item by
John Ross
(7/24/08)
Prior to November 4th, 2008, all eligible voters need to determine if their federal representative, senators and presidential candidate support energy independence from foreign oil. Should your federal representative cling to, or waffle on the need for ending the influence foreign countries that hate America vote for someone that does, regardless of party affiliation. The United States of America faces internal and external enemies that fear and hate our freedoms and are plotting to eliminate our ability to influence the world and militarily protect all Americans and our friends.
American Journalists are Trampling the Sacrifice of Our Fathers, Mothers, Sisters and Brothers
MSM item by
Zach Jones
(7/24/08)
(Unfortunately, the Journalists taking part in this travesty far outnumber the headstones at Normandy) - Whether it is because the Journalist cherishes the idea of breaking a barrier such as electing a person of color (possibly their own), or the Journalist simply wants to be a part of facilitating such a history making event, or the Journalist is desperate for a change of party (possibly to their own), or the Journalist is just taking sides, or the Journalist fears criticizing the candidate out of fear of being labeled racist, or the Journalist fears repercussions from their bosses, or the Journalist fears repercussions from their community, or the Journalists fears hurting their 12 year olds feelings if they criticize the 12 year old’s candidate – if a Journalist could lay claim to all of these reasons, they would still fall incredibly short of justifying the decision to not fully undertake their professional responsibilities owed to general public during the election process for President of The United States of America.
The Gaping Ignorance of Democrat Leaders
Demercrats item by
Bruce Walker
(7/24/08)
Barack Obama has made a serious of statements recently which show an appalling ignorance of history and the world. He recently spoke about “the bomb” being dropped on Pearl Harbor. Before that, in May, Obama talked about the Iraq war sucking up Arabic translators need in Afghanistan (which is a non-Arabic nation in which the people speak languages from a completely different language family.) A few days earlier, Barack spoke of the “57 states.” One might allow him some credit if he had intended to include all the different jurisdictions that send delegates to the Democrat Convention – although Obama still would have been woefully wrong – but even when you count American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia, the total is 55, not 57. Obama seems ignorant of history and unable to do basic arithmetic. Before that Barack Obama did not know at all about the historical impact upon revenue of raising the tax rate on capital gains (which always lowers tax revenues) and lowering the tax rate on capital gains (which always raises tax revenue.) These statements by Obama do not reflect dishonesty. He has, to be sure, lied to the American people about his knowledge of Jeremiah Wright’s hatefulness. Nor is Obama trying to “spin” something with these statements. He simply does not know very much.
ADVISORY: Political Storm Obama
Humor/Satire item by
Doug Edelman
(7/24/08)
Disclaimer: This piece is political humor and parody. (I don’t want any misunderstandings like the New Yorker recently experienced!) - Dateline: July 2008 - The National Climate Agency has been tracking a new political storm which is rapidly becoming so powerful it threatens to change the landscape of the entire nation! Political Storm Obama is predicted by some to make landfall in November, triggering potential landslides. Some are calling this a history maker.
The “Fairness” Doctrine: America In The Balance
Demercrats item by
Christopher G. Adamo
(7/24/08)
Lurking in the gloom of the Democrat agenda is a resuscitation of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” which would allow the federal government, at the behest of liberal special interests, to selectively harass and intimidate radio stations whose broadcasting format it finds objectionable. Thus, the proliferation of conservative talk-radio and virtually all of the alternative media would be threatened with eventual extinction.
‘Sports Heroes?’
Politics item by
Lisa Fabrizio
(7/24/08)
Every Sunday night I go out to my favorite club to engage in lively conversation and enjoy some adult companionship. In the summertime, this often includes taking in ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. This Sunday however, the Red Sox-Angels game was scheduled two hours earlier than the usual 8:00 PM start so that the network could air its annual ESPY Awards show in prime time.

Mexico’s Version of La Cosa Nostra Spreads Like a Virus
Crime item by
Jim Kouri
(7/23/08)
The Castorena Family Organization is a large-scale criminal organization with more than 100 key members who oversee cells of 10 to 20 individuals in cities across the United States, according to public court documents filed by the US government in Colorado and in other judicial districts around the country.
Senate Vote on More Money for U.N.
Bird-Brain Flu item by
Cliff Kincaid
(7/23/08)
Having failed to stop the irresponsible $50 billion global AIDS bill, Senate conservatives are now being given a second chance. Can they stand up to Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid and block the so-called Coburn Omnibus of more irresponsible spending? Reid jokingly named the bill after the Oklahoma Republican Senator, Tom Coburn, who has prevented dozens of excessive federal spending bills from passing the Senate. But Reid is actually titling the bill “Advancing America’s Priorities.”
These are the Torturing, Maniacs Obama Thinks he can Befriend
Terrorism item by
Warner Todd Huston
(7/23/08)
In 1999 a handsome, earnest young man named Ahmad Batebi(1) defied Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran. His photo caused an instant sensation and became a symbol of the flower of Iran standing ready to oppose the oppression of the Iranian religious regime.
Fred Phelps: The Father of the New Liberal Tactics
Progressivism item by
Adam Graham
(7/23/08)
There are few people who are as universally loathed as Fred Phelps. I think it wouldn’t be understatement to say that more Americans sympathize with Osama bin Laden than approve of the tactics of the renegade Kansas minister.
Parson Moyers’s Prevarication
Progressivism item by
Thomas Brewton
(7/23/08)
Bill Moyers’s PBS presentation on Cleveland’s real estate foreclosure problem was a product, either of economic ignorance, or of deliberate distortion for political purposes.
Water Boarding Does NOT Fit the Definition of Torture
Political Correctness item by
Kevin Roeten
(7/23/08)
Do you worry about “water boarding”? Have we decided the Army Field Manual (AFM) will dictate American morals and change the definition of torture? Thorndike-Barnhart defines torture as “The act of inflicting very severe pain; a very severe pain or suffering--agony.” It seems the word torture is used frequently by those opposed to Bush, or his techniques to eliminate more American deaths.
Train Yourself To Discern Good From Evil
Religion item by
Marsha West
(7/23/08)
“But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.”—Hebrews 5:14”
The Cold Hard Facts About Lobbying Washington, DC
Politics item by
JB Williams
(7/23/08)
The very first fact every American must reconcile with is the fact that “lobbying” elected representatives, like other forms of prostitution, is as old as the constitutional republic itself.
Media Shuts Out McCain
MSM item by
Sher Zieve
(7/23/08)
In yet another blatant attempt to render the Republican presidential candidate impotent, therefore propping up their secular messiah Barack Obama, the New York Times has rejected an Op-Ed by presidential contender John McCain. Instead, this “news” paper has reportedly told McCain that his Op-Ed needs to be more like Obama’s - which was accepted (surprise - surprise!”) by the Times. In case there are a few individuals who’ve been living in a cave for the last year or so - Obama is for an immediate pull-out of US troops from Iraq and McCain is not. Obama believes the pull-out should occur based upon his ideology and McCain believes any pull-out should occur based upon what’s actually transpiring in the region. Brian Rogers, a McCain spokesman, said of the Times’ rejection that it “reveals where they’re coming from” and that McCain’s position “will not change based on politics or the demands of The New York Times.”

Middle East item by
Daniel Pipes
(7/22/08)
Israel has lived the past sixty years more intensively than any other country.
District gives students exam answers, half still flunk
EdukShun item by
OffSite
(7/22/08)
The school district of Rochester, N.Y., gave teachers and students exact copies of the questions and answers that would appear on a mandatory test, only to have officials deny wrongdoing and watch half the students fail anyway.
The myth of a teacher shortage
EdukShun item by
Ari Kaufman
(7/22/08)
Too many credentialed dinosaurs are holding jobs - For three years in these columns, I have implored teachers to recognize what excellent jobs they have and to cease complaining. Well, here is an issue I believe teachers can rightfully remonstrate about.
Government to Blame for Housing and Financial Crisis
Bird-Brain Flu item by
Yaron Brook
(7/22/08)
Irvine, CA--In “The Government Did It,” an opinion piece published last Friday on Forbes.com, Dr. Yaron Brook, president and executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute, argued that our government’s massive control over the housing and financial markets has led to many of the problems being blamed on the free market today.
Congressional Democrats Say NO to Drilling but YES to More Oil Taxes
Demercrats item by
Sher Zieve
(7/22/08)
In another move geared to even faster destroy the ability of the American people to support themselves, Congressional Democrats have decided the price of a gallon of gas just isn’t high enough to really hurt us. So, Democrats have decided to raise yours and my gasoline taxes by $.10/gallon. Instead of even thinking about bringing the price of gasoline down - by allowing us to drill for additional petroleum reserves in our own country (in those places that oil actually exists) as well as 100-200 miles off shore - it has decided to raise the price from its already all-time high! Rep. James Oberstar (D-MN), Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said: “We’ll put all things on the table but, the gas tax is the cornerstone. Nothing else will work without the underpinning of the higher user fee gas tax.” Hmmm. Note: It appears that Mr. Oberstar’s “all things on the table” does not include the thing that would actually bring gasoline prices down and increase the US domestic supply. That would be drilling for oil in our own country and, thus, would greatly reduce our need for foreign oil. Does any sort of logic register with these clowns anymore?
A Persistent Threat To Second Amendment Rights
Progressivism item by
Paul M. Weyrich
(7/22/08)
In District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court ruled that the District of Columbia’s highly restrictive ban on guns is unconstitutional. The ruling was anticipated across the nation. It was the first time the Court made a direct judgment about the right of individuals to keep and bear arms since the adoption of the Second Amendment to the Constitution. One would think that under these circumstances the D.C. government would get the message. Not a chance. The Washington D.C. City Council lives in its own world.
