Toledo, Ohio native Zak Reed is tired of being stopped and detained at the Canadian border every time he tries to drive home. "I don't feel very welcome in my home at all," Reed tells CBS News. "In fact, I feel like I am not wanted in my country any more." Last month, for the ninth time in the past year, Reed was held in custody during a routine border crossing across Detroit's Ambassador Bridge, en route to Toledo, about an hour from there. The procedure has become a familiar drill for Reed. "They swipe the passport, they double take...

The American Civil Liberties Union has teamed-up with terrorist Co-conspirator CAIR to setup a hot line and internet relay for people who believe they are being racially profiled, having their computer's seized illegally and to conduct general oversight of the FBI. Maybe its just me, but if anybody should have oversight its not the people of the FBI who are working to protect our butts from being blasted into tiny pieces, but its any organization that links with CAIR of whom it has been proven has close ties to terrorists.

California first lady Maria Shriver - whose father, Sargent Shriver, ran for both president and vice president - said she finds it "unbelievable, jaw-dropping" that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin so far has managed to sidestep news conferences and Sunday TV talk shows.Shriver, a prominent veteran broadcast journalist and bestselling author who is married to Gov.

During lunch 18 months ago, Dr. Ben Johnson had an epiphany as Dr. Aisha Jumaan, a Muslim, spoke to him about her faith and her experience of God. "It came to me that this woman loves and worships the same God I do," says Johnson, a Christian. "I had this sharpened awareness that in that moment she was in touch with God, just as I was. It was a dawning and an awakening, and it was liberating because it liberates you from standing on a pedestal and looking down on someone else." It also inspired Johnson to take on a...

Congress: What, exactly, does House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's latest junket to Iraq have to do with her official duties? Her inability to keep her amateur fingers out of the foreign policy pie suggests a political power grab.Pelosi went to Iraq uninvited Saturday, and her reception was less than warm. Iraq's democratically elected Nouri al-Maliki government wanted nothing to do with her until she admitted the truth about Iraq's progress as a nation and quit braying that U.S. troops must be immediately pulled out, a proposal so naive that even radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr opposes it. Message through, Pelosi admitted that...

Election 2008: Looks like Hillary Clinton's vetting of campaign donations still needs work. FEC records show she's taken cash from Islamists so tainted that past Democrat candidates have returned their money.Some of the donors, in fact, are under active federal investigation for supporting terrorism, money laundering and tax fraud. After the press reported their alleged terror ties in past elections, Democrat Reps. Jim Moran of Virginia and Cynthia McKinney of Georgia had to refund their donations, making national news. But that hasn't stopped Hillary from pocketing their money. So much for her promise to fly-speck donations for criminal ties following...

We are already scheduled to depart for Southern California on Friday evening, but I think we can delay our departure long enough to counter protest these misguided idiots and show our solidarity with Israel against terrorism. These murderous Iranian backed terrorist groups must be defeated! We defeat them over there or I guarantee you we will be fighting them over here! Hope you can...
