I often fear that we fail to grasp the magnitude of our duty to end child-killing, and that we often doubt the inevitability of our victory against this holocaust. It is certain that God Almighty hates the killing of the innocents. God gives the gift of life, and then commands: You Shall Not Murder. He hates the shedding of innocent blood. (See Proverbs 6:16-19 and Psalm 106:37-42) ...Hence, we can declare with absolute certainty that God wants this holocaust end. That being said, we must ask ourselves the tough question: if God wants child killing by abortion to end, why...

Obama claims not to count him out the way the media did during last years election. Last fall the destruction of wealth from the stock market panick of 2008 was the primary event that thrust him into the presidency.(Prior to that event with Mccain Palin surging Axlerod said dont worry we have a plan) Is he and the administration taking credit for triggering the loss of trillions of dollars of wealth of hard working Americans and then framing it as the end of Capitalism? I mean their is know way they could have predicted private investors withdrawing 500 billion dollars...

I am not going to compare President Obama to Hitler. We’ll leave that to others and you can form your own opinions about them and their analogies. I do not believe President Obama’s plans for our nation include genocide or gas chambers. And the socialist I see in him is far from the National Socialists we see represented by Nazis. However, we can learn a lot from the spread of propaganda in Europe that led to Hitler’s power. A key ingredient in that spread of propaganda was through the youth. And its not just Nazi Germany. Totalitarian regimes around the...

The European Commission has unveiled plans to allow more refugees from conflict zones and poor nations into European countries. The scheme is aimed at discouraging immigrants—mainly from Africa—from attempting to reach Europe illegally. Many risk their lives as they try to enter the EU, often on rickety boats, relying on human traffickers. The UN says 65,596 refugees were resettled worldwide last year, but the EU accepted just 4,378, or 6.7%. Thousands of migrants sail to Italy from North Africa every year The Commission - the EU's executive arm - says this "contrasts sharply with the numbers taken in by...

Last night, MSNBC host Ed Schultz used his network's airways to hope Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-MN, would come on his show and commit suicide. As part of his appropriately named "Psycho Talk" segment, he featured Bachmann's unfortunately worded statement to a group opposing socialized medicine: "What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes." She intended to unite everyone opposed to government-imposed health care rationing against Democratic attempts to push through the public "option," but the thought of a...

WASHINGTON – Slightly more than one-third of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Democratic-led Congress, a new poll said Wednesday in a clear warning to the majority party. The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press said the 37 percent expressing a positive opinion represents a decline of 13 points since April. The favorable percentage is one of the lowest in more than two decades of Pew surveys — if not the lowest, the poll said. The previous low was 40 percent in January, but the difference is not statistically significant because of the margin of error....

Before leaving for his vacation on Martha's Vineyard, Barack Obama said the next big item on his legislative agenda -- well, after health care, cap and trade, and maybe labor's bill to effectively abolish secret ballots in union elections -- was immigration reform. What he has in mind, apparently, is something like the comprehensive immigration bills that foundered in the House in 2006 and in the Senate in 2007. These featured guest-worker and enforcement provisions, as well as a path to legalization.

When Phillip Craig Garrido was sentenced to 50 years in prison in 1977 for kidnapping a South Lake Tahoe woman so he could rape her in a Reno storage unit, the prosecutor who put him away figured that was one sexual predator who was gone for good. Under sentencing guidelines now in place, Garrido would have been behind bars for more than two decades - and wouldn't have been free in 1991 when 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard was snatched off the street in South Lake Tahoe, not far from where Garrido kidnapped Katie Callaway Hall in 1976. But under 1970s-era...

42.90 Euros Per Arm The German company Tutogen's business in body parts is as secretive as it is lucrative. It extracts bones from corpses in Ukraine to manufacture medical products, as part of a global market worth billions that is centered in the United States. Anatoly Korzhak, a pensioner and former engineer, died in Kiev on August 5, 2004. His body was picked up at 2 a.m. and taken to the forensic medicine institute in the Ukrainian capital. That same night, Korzhak's daughter, Lena Krat, received a telephone call and was asked to come to the institute as soon as...

US President Barack Obama praised Islam as an integral part of America, as he feted prominent US Muslims at an Iftar dinner marking the holy fasting month of Ramadan. "For well over a billion Muslims, Ramadan is a time of intense devotion and reflection," Mr Obama said, in remarks welcoming his guests in the State Dining Room of the White House. "Tonight's Iftar is a ritual that is being carried out this Ramadan at kitchen tables and mosques in all 50 states," he said. "Islam as we know is part of America. Like the broader American citizenry, the American Muslim...

Stop us if this sounds familiar: A very lucky person wins the lottery and expects life to change for the better, but instead, things go horribly wrong. The latest "victim" of sudden wealth is a young woman from the U.K. who won millions of bucks several years ago, only to lose the vast majority of it shortly thereafter. Callie Rogers was just 16 when she won a whopping $3 million in the lottery. Six years later, she reports that she blew untold sums on drugs, partying, exotic cars, and breast implants. A staggering $730,000 went to designer clothes alone, Ms....

As House members and senators drift back from the August recess with the shouts of angry constituents still ringing in their ears, they face a knock-down, drag-out fight over the fate of health care reform. And while conservatives may take pride in the outpouring of public opposition to a government-run health care program, they shouldn’t take comfort. The future of American health care and control of 17 percent of the economy may be determined by a procedural sleight of hand and an anonymous bureaucrat. How could this be? Well, earlier this year Senate Democrats pushed through reconciliation instructions in the...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — An odd couple of Republican senators have hit the road, arguing for a go-slow approach to President Barack Obama's push to revamp health care. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and 2008 presidential nominee John McCain are headlining the GOP's answer to the raucous town hall meetings of August in which congressional Democrats had to shout over angry constituents about health care, growing deficits and the increasing role of the federal government. . . . . . Political recovery is an issue for McCain, too. . . . . . Health care also offers McCain a...

Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation, says ‘Clunkers’ the most successful stimulus program ever, even though his company has not been paid. He said he is not worried about future car sales or the ‘pull forward’ mentality. However, Reuters and the Wall Street Journal both report very slow times at dealerships. About the only thing we agree with Mr. Jackson on is the fact car prices are going to be higher going forward. (Please do not buy a new or used car until the end of November… unless you have to).

Even as late as 1999, if you needed someone’s phone number or address, there were no White Pages or Yellow Pages like in the West. Instead, you had to visit these government-run information services sprinkled throughout the country. Upon receiving the requested information, which might not even be accurate or up-to-date, you paid a fee of about 15 cents per piece of information. Like most government-run services, they are open certain times of the day, and on some days not at all. When I and the friend with whom I was traveling arrived at one of these info service centers...

By One VikeIt's no secret that I have been watching the growth of Sarah Palin and promoting her for a certain national office. Now that she has resigned as the Governor of Alaska, the left cannot continue their merciless onslaught of frivilous ethics charges that have ranged from claiming she illegally wore an Arctic Cat logo during an Iron Dog snowmobile race, to illegally doing post-election damage control by talking to reporters about the campaign in her state office. All of which have been cleared by the courts or thrown out by judges. With all that behind her, Sarah...

Last month there was much criticism over the fact that President Obama agreed to give Brazilian Owned Oil Company Petrobras up to $10 Billion Dollars to look for Oil off the Brazil Coast. This was especially disturbing when you consider that they Administration objects to the US Drilling off its own coast, which will work toward keeping the price of oil low and help wean us off foreign oil. Why would the POTUS pay for a foreign country to drill for oil but object to his own country taking advantage of his own country's resources? Payback. Last week Hot Air...

The dangers of homosexual behavior have been long known to anyone with eyes to see them and ears to hear them, despite the “mainstream” media’s efforts to sweep this information under the rug and pretend it doesn’t exist; they are, after all, willing and eager participants in the effort to whitewash homosexuality in the eyes of the public. Yet the information keeps popping up in places like the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the New England Journal of Medicine, the Department of Justice, the American Sociological Review, the Archives of General Psychology, the Washington Blade, the Journal of Sex Research...

Here is video of another outstanding report by ABC News' John Stossel on Health Care Insurance, in which he suggests we should pay for our own Health Care. Stossel points out that insurance was designed for catastrophic circumstances, not to pay for everything. Essentially, Stossel says it is insurance itself that makes Health Care so expensive when it is expected to pay for every single thing. Stossel did an outstanding report last month that just destroyed Government Health Care by revealing what it will mean for Americans. . . . . (Watch Video of Stossel's New Report)
