Larry Sinclair, the man who accuses presumptive Democrat nominee Barack Obama of using hard drugs and participating in gay sex acts in 1999, is being refused representation by a Delaware lawyer despite Sinclair's ability to pay all legal fees and a written agreement. Sinclair claims that the attorney was fully and personally briefed on the explosive nature of the case. A scant eight hours after Attorney Richard R. Wier, jr. agreed to represent Sinclair, for a retainer of $10,000.00, he backed out of the deal at 5:15 pm today stating: "I cannot represent you knowing that you are saying the...

Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand, Oh, sweet land of liberty; Your house is on the sand. Our children wander aimlessly Poisoned by cocaine Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain. From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns away From the teaching of God's love and a need to always pray. We've kept God in our temples, how callous we have grown. When earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne. We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core, Appointing Godless Judges; who throw reason out the door, Too soft to...

Blogs bring out the base in us. The medium is primarily anonymous and the people who post or comment feel freer to tell others what they think. For a good example of what academics think about Christians, the Volokh Conspiracy has demonstrated that much of the academic world is inhabited by people who are the mirror image of Fred Phelps, right down to bigoted rants. It’s very revealing, yet the participants on that website keep on exposing the rotten underbelly of academia without any apparent self-consciousness.

CHRIS MATTHEWS VIBRATING CALVES Yet at the same time as he's being stunned by the corruption and anti-Americanism of those closest to him, Obama's convinced that just by jetting into Tehran and Pyongyang he can get to know America's enemies and persuade them to hew to the straight and narrow. No doubt if it all goes belly-up, and Iran winds up nuking Tel Aviv, President Obama will put on his more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger face and announce solemnly that "this isn't the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad I knew." Supreme take down - Steyn. No wonder the leftards want to shut him the hell up. (...

Barack, I didn’t do it for this. Barack, I was a civil rights worker… South Carolina, 1966… 22 yrs old … helping old folks register to vote, teaching kids to read and write, directing Raisin in the Sun… Barack, I didn’t do it for this. Barack, I dream of my kindergarten best friend Andy from Walden School, Manhattan, born one day after me, shot dead in Mississippi 1964. Barack, I idolized Stokley Carmichael and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Barack, I lost the full use of my left hand for life in South Carolina. Barack, I didn’t do it for...

Happy Thanksgiving from Our Family to Yours - A Poem of Thanks On the American Thanksgiving last year I shared a touching poem which was memorized and recited by my son Joshua that had the effect of causing our family to reflect on and give thanks for all our blessings from the Lord.  Many readers appreciated it, and in case you missed it you can read it here:http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/nov/06112303.htmlWith the Canadian Thanksgiving this Monday, I thought I'd share another poem which my daughter Hannah recently memorized and recited publicly.  The poem by Ethyl Lynn Beers was particularly special in our case...

Links to the "Beach Impeach" site were frequent on Dem. Underground last week. As if their Bush-hatred wasn't bad enough, their "christmas carols" page really takes the cake. Where does one start? The misappropriation of Xmas Carols? The misspelling of "Antarctica?" The fact that polar bears don't live in Antarctica? Although the first carol was amusing unschooled piffle, the rest unfortunately are pure Bush-hatred and 9/11 conspiracy-theorist dreck. Must the Dems pander to such pitiful self-demeaning wingnuttery?

Thompson said Friday he will not support a federal gay marriage ban. Thompson thinks the states should decide. Thompson did support the federal Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. What year did Fred catch his Federalist infection? I see a pattern here. Like the recent flip flopping on Laura Ingraham's show about S-27. Like his questionnaire answers on Abortion where he wrote- "Abortions should be legal in all circumstances as long as the procedure is completed within the first trimester of the pregnancy." Fred did vote pro life, but that statement and many others bother me. I prefer a consistent...

Inside the cover of the new CD "Flowering Spade" there is a definition of a word.

If President Bush had any sense of the political calamity which is about to befall him, he would immediately drop amnesty for illegals and mount an defensive on his flank! Or there is always, "The War is Lost!"

The Vicarious Living of the Silent Majority Through "The 1/2 Hour News Hour" --This thread was deleted from a prominent intellectual message board, so it must be a great conservative topic. The Silent Majority won't lift a hand to help a fellow Republican in trouble, but they will watch The 1/2 Hour News Hour religiously.

"Can a Conservative Poet Survive Today’s Liberal Hegemony?" --This thread was deleted from a prominent intellectual message board, so it must be a great conservative topic. With the recent takeover of Congress by the Democrats, the firing of Donald Rumsfeld, and the problems that Judith Regan is having; is it possible for a Conservative poet to survive in today’s Liberal-left world of poetry?
