Reagan was awesome!

The guy renames the War on Terror to Overseas Contingency Operation because he doesn't want to hurt Muslims' feelings, but he has harsh words about the impending Republican takeover of Congress. From the LA Times: GOP takeover of Congress would mean 'hand-to-hand combat,' Obama warnsHe'd better bring more than his throwing arm. A Republican majority in Congress would mean "hand-to-hand combat" on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy, President Obama warned Wednesday. I did a Google search for footage of Obama threatening terrorists like this. The results were "Are you...

Despite some fool with his car alarm blaring in the background, in this video it is quite clear that Charlie “Fliparoo” Crist is claiming that the voters can trust him because he’s not going to “change my stripes.” Of course, he said this not long before he “changed” his Senate run from Republican to a sudden “independent,” too… but, hey, consistency is overrated anyway, right? See the video at Publiusforum.com...

Video is only 40 seconds long but captures the emergency chute being deployed and you see someone sliding down...(Video)

LH687 from Tel-Aviv to Frankfurt. Economy class is occupied with a few dozens of French tourists. Suddenly they start a 'pillow war' inside the cabin. The Lufthansa flights attendant seems to take an active part in the war.

On the 12 August 2010 edition of CNN's Rick's List, Victor Choban, a supporter of California's Prop 8, which outlawed same-sex "marriage," was interviewed on-air by CNN. Choban cited his experience of living under the rule of the communist Soviet Union as one part of his critique of the judge's ruling against Prop 8.

• Q2 jumps by 67 percent year over year • Buyers done in by ‘creative mortgages’ according to figures released Monday by Foreclosures.com, a Central Valley-based real estate investment advisory firm and publisher of foreclosure property information. "Year over year at the end of the second quarter of 2006, foreclosure activity in California has increased more than 67 percent," says Alexis McGee, president of Fair Oaks-based ForeclosureS.com. The once hot housing markets in Las Vegas and Phoenix are cooling off rapidly and defaults there are on the rise as well, she says. "Both Las Vegas and Phoenix were impacted by...

It was a beautiful spring evening just after work and I was walking the few blocks to where my car was parked. I noticed a gentleman that I had met just a week or so prior, on a previous hike out to our parked cars. The first time we met he was walking with another acquaintance of mine and we barley exchanged names, but at least I knew I had met him before. This time would be different.

Hello all, I am very low on conservative perspective (in terms of news, religion, etc), and the stranglehold some Libertarians and Liberals have on what should be open-to-all dialogue is disgusting on my debate site. Please offer any perspective you can: Conservative Debate Opinions Needed

A jury in Boston convicted former priest Paul Shanley of child rape last week. The testimony of the lone accuser to take the stand was based on repressed memories recovered only after the initial allegations against Shanley first surfaced in 2002. Three other men had earlier claimed that they too were sexually abused by Shanley, but their cases were dropped by the prosecution. The defense only called one witness: Elizabeth Loftus, one of the nation's leaders in the fight to discredit repressed memories. Her high profile role has brought her praise and criticism. To some she is "a hired gun...

Who controls the information weapon? It was long ago since information has become a weapon. Instead of artillerists the journalists hit the target. But the owners of the media empires forget that their weapon can turn against those using it. If my memory serves me right it’s this month that an American-Russian summit is to take place. So it somehow explains all the mud in the US-GB media slinging at the Russians now. For this reason the situation around Russia is a most vivid example confirming my previous words. There are few people who know the real reason for Moscow’s...

Michael Savage is going, going, gone? Michael Savage when I first starting listening to him, seemed to be the only guy who would just - tell it like it is! Hey, he still does. I don't know that he really preaches conservatism, but certainly bashes liberalism - and stupidity non-stop. He will also rip Bush for Illegal Aliens, and wasting of money - where other talk show hosts, won't really do it (hey, at least not with passion - admit it!) However, Michael Savage  has got a problem(s). I think he's lazy maybe - at least compared to the other...
