While polls indicate up to 96 percent of America's Black constituency plans to vote for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama this November, a growing number of African-American conservative leaders are exhorting Christians not to vote based on skin color, but on character. The latest edition of Freedom's Journal Magazine, which poses the soul stirring question, "Are we more Black than Christian?" is published in Obama's south side Chicago backyard; and warns that Black Americans bright future could be irreparably dimmed if Obama and his radical leftist political agenda emerge victors come this Nov. 4th. "Dr. Martin Luther King's dream that...

Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as Vice President of the United States? Yes 50% No 49% Not Sure

The Culture Project Explained The Culture Project is devoted to the idea that cultural renewal cannot be achieved through politics alone. Culture shapes politics. The opposite mentality has limited the right’s long-term political success in the past half-century, because people’s basic assumptions come from our liberal-dominated culture—from the education system, entertainment, and the media—and these are all areas that conservatives have largely abdicated to the left the last 40 or 50 years. We cannot move America back to the values our country was founded on solely through politics. Only a serious, conscious effort toward cultural renewal can do that. The...

John McCain has gained ground for the third straight month and now holds a slight two-point advantage over Barack Obama in the swing state of New Hampshire. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Granite State finds McCain attracting 49% of the vote while Obama earns 47%. A month ago, it was Obama by a point. At the moment, the presidential race in New Hampshire is a toss-up. Nationally, the race remains close in the Daily Presidential Tracking poll. Seventy-four percent (74%) of Obama voters say they will vote with enthusiasm for their candidate, a feeling shared by 68%...

Biden To Deliver “Major” McCain Attack by Aaron Bruns CINCINNATI, OH - In what the campaign is billing as a “major speech,” Biden will say that only Obama has the foreign policy judgment to take the United States in the right direction — and that his good friend John McCain would be a disaster. “The policies he would pursue as president would be wrong for America – nowhere more so than with our security and standing in the world,” Biden will say, according to prepared remarks distributed by the campaign. “Time and again, on the most critical national security issues...

The results of my interviews last weekend with the chairmen of both the House and the Senate Republican campaign committees were vastly different from what they had to say about the GOP’s chances in the ’08 congressional races less than three months ago. Earlier in the summer, both National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Ensign (Nev.) and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Cole (Okla.) were playing defense. It looked like a dreadful year for Republicans. Ensign had pointed to the fact that there were twice as many Republican senators facing the voters as Democrats. Cole’s excuse for the Democratic...

NEW YORK — Construction workers digging at ground zero have uncovered a 40-foot pothole and other features carved by glaciers about 20,000 years ago. Unearthing these glacial features has been critical in preparing the foundation for Tower 4 of the new World Trade Center, being built by Silverstein Properties at the southeast corner of the site. Engineers need a clear understanding of the contours of the rock....... "It's nice to look at," said Robert B. Reina, a supervising structural engineer at Mueser Rutledge, "but it's all got to go."

Tetrapods, the first four-legged land animals, are regarded as the first organisms that had fingers and toes. Now researchers at Uppsala University can show that this is wrong. Using medical x-rays, they found rudiments of fingers in the fins in fossil Panderichthys, the “transitional animal,” which indicates that rudimentary fingers developed considerably earlier than was previously thought.

No one is really talking about the debate on Friday thanks to the financial crisis, but perhaps even more important than the hourly watching of the U.S. stock markets, Friday’s first presidential debate could play a huge role in determining who is to become the next president. If you take a very-high overview of the presidential polls since at least August, Team Obama has lead the way most of the time, except for a GOP convention bounce that looked convincing, but fell apart within one week. Since the beginning of the month, Obama’s lead has been small (1-4 points), but...

Just as was done on the "Immigration Bill" we have to make noise, if this country has to go "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" (which is a lie as it wont happen) then so be it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich is asking the U.S. Department of Transportation inspector general to investigate the Regional Transit Authority's Euclid Corridor project. Kucinich wants to investigate whether the RTA's budget shortfall is linked to the project. The RTA this week announced major cuts to bus routes and is also seeking to increase fares. Kucinich, a Democrat, represents Ohio's 10th Congressional District.

On CNN last night, Campbell Brown unloaded on the McCain campaign's shielding of Sarah Palin from the press. (Wonder if Tucker Bounds considers this rant to be "top notch"). (with video)

I am writing on behalf of a group of McCain/Palin volunteers who met yesterday in Ramsey, NJ, in order to try to get out out the vote and garner support for the 2008 Campaign. . . the most important Presidential Campaign in recent memory. We were wondering if any thought has been given to holding a rally at Liberty State Park, in Jersey City, NJ sometime in October? In light of the enormous crowds Sarah Palin has been generating (most recently yesterday in Florida), we thought a perfect venue for a rally would be right on the Hudson at Liberty,...
