Greek disabled groups are angry at a government decision to expand a list of state-recognized disability categories to include pedophiles, exhibitionists and kleptomaniacs. But the Labor Ministry on Monday said categories added to the expanded list — that also includes pyromaniacs, compulsive gamblers, fetishists and sadomasochists — were included for purposes of medical assessment and used as a gauge for allocating financial assistance.

NEW YORK -- An "Occupy Wall Street" protester threw a violent fit in a McDonald’s after employees refused to give him free food. Fisika Bezabeh, 27, ripped a credit-card reader from a counter and threw it at workers at about 2:30am local time Friday at the downtown Manhattan restaurant, which has become a bathroom spot for protesters.

You knew it was coming. Max Slesarev, 29, a UW-Madison employee, showed up at Madison's Freakfest Saturday dressed as "LRB-1383." That's the formal name of the budget repair bill, the mix of measures that balanced the state budget but drew tens of thousands of protesters to the Capitol earlier this year. Public workers such as Slesarev took pension and health insurance hits. Friends swirled around him Saturday with a giant plastic cleaver, encouraging passersby to "kill the bill." The annual Halloween party on State Street always boasts a political bent - it's Madison, after all - and this year was...

Ingrid Newkirk — the queen PETA moonbat best known for her morally depraved declaration that “a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy” — may be even more disturbed than we knew. Here’s what she wants done with her body after the Devil has dragged her twisted soul down to hell: a. That the “meat” of my body, or a portion thereof, be used for a human barbecue, to remind the world that the meat of a corpse is all flesh, regardless of whether it comes from a human being or another animal, and that flesh foods...

At Wonderland Avenue Elementary School in Laurel Canyon, there are lesson plans on diverse families — including those with two mommies or daddies — books on homosexual authors in the library and a principal who is openly gay. But even at this school, teachers and administrators are flummoxed about how to carry out a new law requiring California public schools to teach all students — from kindergartners to 12th graders — about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans in history classes. "At this point, I wouldn't even know where to begin," Principal Don Wilson said. Educators across the state don't...

I have been reading on dozens of threads how "toast" Obama is come 2012...how there is no way he will win re-election in 2012 now that we have been downgraded and the hell we are living through. Well...have a look at the comments from some of the 23 million who are fans of this man...this is just from today: Evajean Blum Blackstone Mr Obama, you have a lot on your plate, but you are a brilliant man and easily the smartest president we have ever had. I know you have something great up your sleeve and things are going to...

The public hearing for the Massachusetts "Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes Bill" H502 will be held in the State House next Wednesday, June 8. The transgender movement has been flooding the legislators with their emotional stories and their general disinformation, including bitter complaints about "discrimination" and demands for transgender "civil rights". But there's another side - the truth - that needs to be heard. It's about what this unfortunate and tragic disorder is really about, and how it harms the people engaging in it and the people around them. The following testimony was sent to MassResistance from Denise Shick in...

Mike Huckabee urged his fellow Republicans to throw in the towel on the budget stalemate, saying the GOP has the "most to lose" and needs to show it understands the personal impact a government shutdown would have on everyday Americans. "Republicans have got to show that the people of America matter more to them than the politics of their own houses, and that's what I'm hoping will happen," Huckabee told Fox News host Neil Cavuto Friday afternoon, just hours before a shutdown was set to take place without a budget deal.

These portraits were made on the sidewalk outside the Wisconsin state capital building in Madison. During the protests, the unofficial theme, expressed in words, drum beats and car horns, has been, "This is what Democracy looks like!" This is what Democracy looked like to me, in the form of faces, signs, buttons, and hard hats. Thanks to everyone who stopped their peaceful protesting to have their picture taken.

Part of Michelle Obama's appeal has always been the feeling that minus the White House and Nobel Peace Prize winning leader of the free world husband, she's just like one of us. Well, when it comes to shopping, it seems Michelle really is just like every woman on earth.

The contest -- which ended Thursday -- was aimed at attracting younger readers.

Liberalism IS a Mental Disorder .

Perfect opportunity to post what I consider to be the hands-down, greatest video of all-time, ‘Hippies Crying Over Dead Trees”…***Already posted on FR but a great pick me up when your feeling down***

As you know, ladies and gentlemen, when was it that Obama beat up on me? Thursday? In the Harry Smith interview. I got a request from Byron York in The Politico for a reaction. I gave 'em a reaction and I said, "I've never seen a regime that governs against the will of the people, purposely like this. I've never seen a regime that is so inconsiderate of the American people. I've never seen a media so impressed and supportive of a regime amassing such power." This set Chris Matthews on fire Friday night. Oh, yeah. We have two sound...

PORTLAND, Maine — A 51-year-old farmer from rural Maine wept in court and expressed remorse Friday as he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for fatally shooting a friend in the head during a drug-fueled party in a "sex dungeon" of a suburban home. Bruce Davidson apologized for causing the death of Fred Wilson, a 50-year-old computer technician who was killed when Davidson shot him with a .44-caliber revolver during a night of sexual play at Wilson's home in South Portland.

The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House. PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside. "We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals." During an interview for CNBC at the...

Obama fans, haircuts, tattoos, cars, and more. These people are freaks, caught up in the cult of personality. All we can do is laugh at their stupidity. Check it out, there are a ton more pictures on site, a TON. Yep, he is wearing a diaper, playing a flute. Class act. In case you cant read the blurry photo, the shirts say "Sarah Palin is a Cu--"

Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes has given perhaps his most dire warning yet, saying that the Obama administration is preparing to stage terror attacks, declare martial law and cancel the 2012 elections, which is why they are demonizing their political enemies as criminals and terrorists. Keyes is best known for his performance during the 2000 Republican presidential debates, when he was accredited by many media outlets as being the clear winner during a series of debates with George W. Bush and John McCain. “It’s obvious that they will stop at nothing,” Keyes told attendees of a reception in Fort Wayne,...
