Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and...

The quasi-governmental organization that oversees the Internet has tentatively approved a ".asia" Web domain to unify the Asia-Pacific community, but the group has delayed a decision on whether to move forward with a ".xxx" zone for pornography sites. At its annual meeting this past weekend in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers took up several topics related to the global administration of the Internet, which has become a heated topic because the U.S. has insisted on maintaining oversight. The new ".asia." domain would supplement suffixes available for individual countries, such as ".cn" for China and...

The proposed .xxx porn domain has been kicked into the long grass just days before it was due to meet final approval. ICANN chairman Vint Cerf stunned an open meeting of the governmental advistory committee (GAC) in Vancouver late on Tuesday when he announced that the whole issue had been pulled from the Board meeting agenda - where it had been the first topic of discussion. The reason given (this time) was that the GAC needed time to review a 350-page ICANN report on the domain's feasibility before it could provide its approval (or disapproval). That's a red herring though....

As it happened, my youngest son, Rudy, was in New Orleans as the storm approached the Gulf Coast, so I was acutely focused on what actions were being taken to evacuate the city. On Aug. 27, with the hurricane gaining force in the Gulf, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin called for a voluntary evacuation of the city....

Once again, Canada on opposite side of official U.S. position on a moral issue TORONTO, August 22, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Canadian non-profit company is to be the primary manager for a new internet domain, .xxx, a new virtual red light district approved for the internet by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in June.The Toronto-based International Foundation for Online Responsibility (IFFOR) is the sponsor for .xxx., according to a PC World report. ICM Registry is the owner of the domain, but IFFOR will independently oversee all aspects of the operation of the .xxx domain.According to its...

The Bush administration is objecting to the creation of a .xxx domain, saying it has concerns about a virtual red light district reserved exclusively for Internet pornography. Michael Gallagher, assistant secretary at the Commerce Department, has asked for a hold to be placed on the contract to run the new top-level domain until the .xxx suffix can receive further scrutiny. The domain was scheduled to receive final approval Tuesday. "The Department of Commerce has received nearly 6,000 letters and e-mails from individuals expressing concern about the impact of pornography on families and children," Gallagher said in a letter on Thursday...

It may surprise some people, but I agree with Parsons on this one. And I would go even further. I am a Conservative who believes that we should both welcome and fight FOR the .XXX domain designations. What? Yes, you heard me right. Now hear me out. I believe we should use the tactics of the Liberals – who always love to tax and regulate everything – and make ALL porn sites drop their current .COM domains and go to the .XXX url exclusively.

Bob Parsons is an interesting, entrepreneurial kind of a guy. He got in on the front end of the technology curve in the early 1990s when Parsons Technology made a name for itself in Evangelical circles by being among the first to market Bible software. His QuickVerse software brought the Scriptures to Christian computer users’ fingertips. Parsons has more recently made an even bigger name for himself in secular circles by creating a racy TV ad that ran nationwide during the 2005 Superbowl. That spoofish spot featured a buxom blond who was allegedly testifying before a Congressional committee on censorship,...

Unless the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) withholds its approval, the porn industry will have its own domain on the World Wide Web, .xxx. Proponents of the domain say that Web sites such as “Hardcore porn.xxx,” “Rape Porn.xxx,” or “XXXporn.xxx” will make it easier for parents and software filtering companies to protect kids from “adult” material. As if “Hardcore porn.com,” “Rape Porn.com,” or “XXX porn.com,” leave them clueless. If approved, the porn industry and its allies will be free to self-regulate and operate the domain, which would be entirely voluntary. Internet porn site operators would be free to participate on...

NEW YORK -- A red-light district tentatively cleared for construction on the Internet -- the ''.xxx'' domain -- is being billed by backers as giving the online porn industry an opportunity to clean up its act. A distinct online sector for the salacious will reduce the chances of Internet users accidentally stumbling onto porn sites, they argue. If only it were so simple. Zoning in cyberspace has always been a daunting proposition, and participation in the porn domain will be voluntary. Even if it's voluntary, supporters say, adult sites will have incentives to use ''.xxx.'' ''If the carrot's big enough,...

EBAY AUCTION FOR .XXX DOMAIN or eBay has this link LINK HEREI bet Goldenpalacecasino will buy it, they're the online casino that bought the grilled cheese sandwich and a lot of other crazy things. Washington: The Internet's regulator has moved a step closer to authorising a sex-oriented designation for websites ".xxx" in an effort to create a self-regulated adult entertainment...

Sex sites will soon be able to sign up for Web addresses in the .xxx Internet domain, but a virtual red light district won't guarantee that people can avoid pornography online, Internet experts said on Thursday. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers said late Wednesday it would move ahead with plans to set up a separate .xxx Internet domain for sexually explicit material. Sex sites won't be required to sign up for .xxx addresses. But the new domain will enable porn sites to label themselves clearly and help filtering software keep underage users away, according to ICM Registry...

WASHINGTON -- The Internet's primary oversight body approved a plan Wednesday to create a virtual red-light district, setting the stage for pornographic Web sites to use new addresses ending in "xxx." The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers said it would begin negotiations with ICM Registry Inc., run by British businessman Stuart Lawley, to iron out technical issues and prices for the new Web addresses. Adult-oriented sites, a $12 billion industry, probably could begin buying "xxx" addresses as early as fall or winter depending on ICM's plans,

A 49-year-old woman and her 12-year-old son were shocked when a Disney movie they rented from a Central Florida public library was instead filled with images of hard-core pornography, according to Local 6 News. Shirley Satcher rented the Disney movie, "Home on the Range," from the Alachua County Headquarters Library at 401 E. University Ave. in downtown Gainesville. Satcher checked three different spots on the tape and discovered that the adult movie, "Voyeur #5" filled the entire videotape. "You know, you think it's a Walt Disney (movie) but you go ahead and see what Walt Disney is talking about and...

PHOENIX - Jenna Jameson is suing in federal court to bar her publisher from getting a cut of a proposed reality show featuring the adult film star. AP Photo Jameson's suit in Phoenix federal court asks a judge to rule that an April 2004 development agreement signed with Regan Media doesn't apply to a deal that Jameson negotiated herself with A&E for a show based on her daily life. Jameson says in the suit that the A&E deal was negotiated before the Regan Media agreement. Regan Media owner Judith Regan countersued, saying the 2004 agreement with Jameson gives Regan Media...

On Sunday, the head of the United Nations High Commission on Refugees, High Commissioner Ruud Lubbers, resigned under pressure after he was found guilty of misconduct for the sexual harassment of a subordinate female worker at the United Nations headquarters in New York. Secretary General Kofi Annan reportedly read the report showing clear evidence of Commissioner Lubbers's conduct and did nothing about it. It seems that protecting the reputation of a friend was more important to Annan than protecting the people who work for the UN. This is unacceptable. When will Annan resign? Unfortunately, this is not the UN's only...

WASHINGTON - Porn is like heroin, researchers told Congress yesterday, asking for money to study "porn addiction" and launch a public health campaign about its dangers. The Internet is the top source for porn that corrupts kids and hooks adults into addictions that threaten their jobs and families, anti-porn advocates said. They called for billboards and bus ads warning people to avoid pornography, strip clubs and prostitutes.The Associated Press Originally published on November 19, 2004

BIG ADO FOR BILL IN LITTLE ROCK November 5, 2004 -- THE Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock opens Nov. 18, with a four-day celebration that begins Nov. 14. President Clinton Avenue will be turned into a mall. Bands, singers, stalls, merchants, gifts, arts and crafts, big video screens, bleachers, whatevers enough for 27,000 guests. No room to accommodate the 35,000 requests for invites. The leftover 8,000 will have to watch on TV or read my description today. Maggie Williams, who was Hillary's White House chief of staff and Bill's post-White House chief of staff, gave me an advance tour....

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 29 -- He was an hour late. So when President Bill Clinton took the stage this afternoon at the Clark County Government Center amphitheater, the crowd acted like starving dogs presented with thick, juicy steak. "We love you! We love you!" a group of women screamed, drowning out Clinton's opening lines for hundreds of people around them. The Comeback Kid had come to Las Vegas for his first solo campaign appearance in a swing state since his quadruple-bypass heart surgery, a compliment the crowd of 2,500 was determined to return. They cheered at whatever he said, laughed...
