In the past Muslims were able to get the United Nations to ban the criticism of Islam. Once that goal was accomplished they of course moved on to their next target. That target was trying to silence the world from criticizing Islam. They were trying to push this through the Durban II Conference.

As I was so rudely banned from the last post I made, let me respond here. I am not a troll, I am a conservative who has not posted on this site for a while for a reason. The conservative movement has lost its way... So here's the deal, and YOU ALL KNOW THAT RUSH HAS MADE AN IDIOT OF HIMSElF... do you guys honestly think there is one single American who has seen this episode between Limbaugh and Steele, and thought "I should vote Republican/I should be a conservative/I should oppose Obama's socialism"??? Absolutely not. Obama is a talented...

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Arrives In IsraelBy Joel LeydenIsrael News Agency London --- March 3, 2009...... US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived In Israel and was welcomed by a fragmented but strong, democratic political system. As new Israel elections have brought about the appointment of right wing Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu to form a government, former political moderate Kadima PM candidate and outgoing Israel Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni kept the Clinton visit well focused. Clinton's Israel visit, her first as US Secretary of State, highlighted the issues of Palestinian statehood and a threatening nuclear Iran. During meetings...

My fellow Americans: If you had to choose between shrinking the size of government or shrinking the size of your paycheck, which would it be? Chances are you think you're paying enough taxes already. And I agree with you. The trouble is, your opinions don't always count for much in Washington, DC. It seems to be taken for granted here that the Federal Government has an automatic right to grow at your expense. Listening to people talk, you'd almost think government owns your earnings. So, please be a little skeptical when you hear the moaning from Washington's born-again deficit...

Nancy-Ann Min DeParle, who President Obama appointed as director of the White House Office of Health Care Reform on Monday, took home at least $2.4 million in 2006 and 2007 from serving on the corporate boards of health-care companies whose businesses she would be in a position to affect in her new position. Since leaving the Clinton administration in 2001, DeParle has made a fortune by serving on 10 boards in the health-care industry in addition to her lucrative career as a managing director at private equity firm CCMP Capital and a senior adviser at JP Morgan Partners. Her journey...

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele had it right the first time. Appearing on the DL Hughley show on CNN, Steele quipped that Rush Limbaugh was not the leader of the Republican party – Steele was. Then Steele used the words “ugly” and “incendiary” to describe either Limbaugh’s program or Limbaugh’s speech to CPAC.

Ben Stein stated an old friend of Obama from Chicago that will oversee the Cap and Trade fiasco will benefit greatly from doing it. Was he talking financially? It appeared so. Ben Stein said this is a huge scandal, and he could not remember the guys name. Beck said they will look into it and cover it tomorrow.

Two of Mexico's deadliest drug cartels have reached a combined force of 100,000 foot soldiers, wreaking havoc across the country and threatening U.S. border states, the U.S. Defense Department told The Washington Times. The cartels rival the Mexican army in size and have both Mexico and the U.S. in crisis mode as they deal with what they fear is a coming insurgency along the border. "It's moving to crisis proportions," an unidentified defense official told The Times. The official also said the cartels have reached a size where they are on par with Mexico's army of 130,000. About 7,000 people...

As the Senate completes its work on the $410 Billion Dollar Omnibus Bill with over 8,000 earmarked projects, it is important to note who the biggest porkers in the Senate are. The list below shows top 20 Senate Omnibus Bill Porkers. Right on top is Senator Robert Byrd, who when the bill was originally written was chairman of the Appropriations Committee. Other large porkers are Dianne Feinstein of California and Tom Harkin of Iowa. What is particularly disturbing is that 8 of the Top 20 were Republicans, and that Mitch McConnell was so high up on the list. Come on...

Did you hear the one about Joe Biden claiming that Louisiana under Governor Bobby Jindal is losing 400 jobs a day? Probably not. A search at the Washington Post on "Biden 400 jobs Louisiana" (not in quotes) came back with no results. No relevant results were returned with the same searches done at the New York Times and the LA Times. The math-challenged Biden, who infamously said during the presidential campaign that the word "jobs" has three letters (maybe you don't know about that one either), made this false claim Wednesday morning, and almost no one noticed.

Sens. Hutchison, Murkowski, Bond Urge White House to Expedite Offshore Oil and Gas Development Domestic Sources will Relieve Stress on Americans, Reduce Dependence on Foreign Oil March 2, 2009 WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), Texas’ senior Senator, along with Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Kit Bond (R-MO) today led a Republican effort, urging the White House to tap new domestic energy sources and expeditiously complete the Administration’s five-year plan for offshore oil and gas development. Sens. Hutchison, Murkowski, and Bond were joined on the letter by 32 of their Republican colleagues in the U.S. Senate.            “American...

A few weeks ago, we wrote about Nancy Pelosi and her lust for Obama’s “stimulus” package. But now CNN has given life to something we thought was parody. On Sunday’s “State of the Union” show, Republican strategist, CNN contributor and nutcase Alex Castellanos said, “…A friend told me once that listening to Barack Obama give a speech is like sex. The worst there ever was, was excellent.” We’ve always been ambivalent about sex education, but...

CNN's Larry King talked with Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal in a prime-time exclusive interview Monday night. Jindal gave the Republican response after President Obama's address to Congress last week. Jindal received negative reviews after the speech, and Larry asked him how he felt about that. They also talked about the war of words in the Republican Party centered around Rush Limbaugh. The following transcript has been edited for brevity and clarity: Larry King: Governor, you took a lot of flak for that speech. Were you surprised that you did? Gov. Bobby Jindal: Let's be clear, the president is a great...

The Obama presidency has started off in a whirlwind. It has been a headlong rush. This is not small-bite politics. This is not school uniforms. With hardly a pause to take a deep breath, Barack Obama has presented an economic recovery plan, a bailout plan, a budget and a major foreign policy address. All have been bold. But people who were surprised by that boldness have not been paying attention. It was just a little more than two years ago, on a very cold day in Springfield, Ill., that Obama announced for the presidency by saying he was running “not...

President Barack Obama said today he is not concerned with the "day to day gyrations" of the U.S. Stock Market because it "bobs up and down" like a "political tracking poll." Huh? This is the man who is going to save our economy? Listen to him meander through this answer and tell me if he sounds like he has any idea what he is doing!? . . . . . . (Watch Video)Mr. President, you had better start being concerned about the "day to day gyrations" of the stock market, because the drop in the retirement funds of 90% of...

The Dow dropped another 300 points yesterday, continuing its implacable downward spiral since the inauguration of President Obama. Though the stock market had already declined substantially prior to Obama's arrival in Washington, it is significant to note that since he was sworn into office, on yesterday's close, the market has dropped 28% in value in two months time. Although many members of the chattering class may be enthralled with the reign of the New Messiah, investors are fleeing…

When Rush Limbaugh took off last Saturday on a passionate CPAC speech that laid out conservative principles, and explained many of the steps to take to build a strong future for the Republican party, I couldn't help thinking that if a Democrat were listening, they might be thinking "what the heck is this guy even talking about?" since many of the ideas of reducing the size of government, cutting taxes to help jump start an economic recovery, and personal freedoms though less government regulation, must have sounded like a foreign language to any liberals listening at the time. Fortunately, now...

One of leading moonbat "Opinion Drivers"/Propogandists at DAILY KOS is now trying to pigeon-hole Republican Legislators in to denouncing Rush Limbaugh. For those of you who don't know, (or don't even care), who this woman is, she is deranged "Housewife" that is OFTEN quoted (But never credited) by Lib and Democrat pundits on TV. If she is pushing it, you can almost be assured that it will be driving Democrat pundit talking points over the next few days. In a diary titled "Rush Limbaugh: The Voice Of The Republican Party", she tells us she is calling Republicans in Congress, asking...
