U.S.—Chick-fil-A has said it will stop making donations to Christian groups that oppose the LGBTQ movement. The move is said to be a "good trade" as Chick-fil-A has sacrificed its Christian fans in favor of an outraged mob that will stop at nothing to destroy them. Restaurant spokespeople say they believe this move will be enough to appease the LGBTQ community and aren't worried about further demands from the mob until Chick-fil-A is groveling at the outraged leftists' feet.

Obama Promises To End ‘Deficit of Trust’ Jobs to loom large in president’s first state of the Union address WASHINGTON - Saying he “will not walk away” from Americans struggling during the financial crisis, President Barack Obama will promise in his first State of the Union address Wednesday night to wage a battle on “a deficit of trust” in U.S. society that has crippled the government’s ability to address its deficit of dollars. “Deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works ... have been growing for years," the president planned to say, according to excerpts of his remarks the White...

Populist or professor? Contrite or uncompromising? President Obama will have a chance Wednesday to reintroduce himself to the nation when he delivers his first official State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress. The prime-time speech, which will be aired on all major TV networks and cable stations, could hardly come at a more critical time for a president grappling with double-digit unemployment, sinking poll numbers and the possible collapse of his top domestic policy priority, an overhaul of the nation's health-care system. "As often as the president has spoken over the past year, critics on the...

"Students, I as your Dear Leader command you to stay in school and learn about great americans like Van Jones. Follow his communist and marxist path to "help" me build a collective for all. Thank you."

Washington -- If women face a "glass ceiling'' preventing success in business or politics, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco has had to deal with what she and other women call a "marble ceiling'' in the august, historic halls of Congress. But if predictions are right and Democrats make a net gain of at least 15 House seats in midterm elections today, House Minority Leader Pelosi will smash through that ceiling by being elected the first woman speaker of the House early next January. For women, that would mean another barrier broken and yet another entree into the inner circles...

Socialism is best because under socialism. No one has to worry about being poor or starving to death. No one is poor, unemployed, discriminated, everyone is equal reguardless or race or creed. Today such ideas are condemned as evil. Any attempt to protest against slavery and genocide and human rights violations are met with the cries of COMMUNISM! By the religious right and then they conjure up stories about Stalin, Gulags, tortue, police state etc. So therefore we must stick with the current system of sweat shop slavery, poverty and racism while rich people who already have all they will...

For the past four years, a lot of people have been obsessed with the movie “The Matrix.” As the sequel, “The Matrix Reloaded,” arrived in theatres this week, it was obvious that the strange, violent science-fiction film, by the previously more or less unknown Wachowski brothers, had already inspired both a cult and a craze. (And had made a lot of money into the bargain, enough to fuel two sequels; “Matrix Revolutions” is supposed to be out in November.) There hasn’t been anything quite like it since “2001: A Space Odyssey,” which had a similar mix of mysticism, solemnity, and...
