The Gates of Hell Seem to be Prevailing, but Why? By Pastor Phil Magnan San Diego, Ca. Sept. 9th, 2009, I have been advocating against the immoral practice of abortion, homosexuality and many other issues of morality for 20 years. I certainly had hoped through our efforts that the world would have turned out better, than where we are going now. Sadly, we as a nation are turning away from the living God and giving ourselves over to greater wickedness, apostasy and depravity. Now to be clear, our main focus was to alert and educate churches as to what is...

MOGADISHU, Somalia — A Somali Islamic court hacked a hand each from two screaming men accused of theft and lashed another accused of rape on Wednesday, officials and a witness said, the latest in a series of harsh punishments that have elicited both admiration and revulsion from the war-weary population. A witness said two masked men carried out the amputations immediately after Sheik Abdibasit Mohamed, an Islamic judge in northern Mogadishu, pronounced the sentence in front of a crowd of around a hundred residents. The screaming victims had their hands hacked off by large knives on a wooden table dripping...

If you’re Caucasian, don’t think you’re ever clean of the moonbat answer to original sin. According to Newsreek, even babies are racist. At the Children’s Research Lab at the University of Texas — located in liberal Austin, the Berkeley of the Southwest — Birgitte Vittrup attempted to measure how effective propaganda is at instilling multiculturalist ideology in small children. She found that despite parents’ progressive intentions and the homogenous political correctness of everything they see on TV, children 5 to 7 years old tended to consider blacks but not whites to be “mean.” That this could have something to do...

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- A former Ohio congressman who was freed after seven years in federal prison said he was put in jeopardy behind bars because of his views. James Traficant spoke in an interview to be broadcast Thursday night on the Fox News show "On The Record With Greta Van Susteren."

I think that Charles Krauthammer described it best when commenting on Obama's speech he called it a fantasy. That's because he promised to give everyone everything, promised to make it cost less, and promised to make the system more efficient doing all this. As the saying goes, if you believe that, I have some great swampland in Florida to sell you. What the president is trying to do is present a plan that will give everyone everything and have no one sacrifice anything. In effect, that's a health care fantasy.

Increasing productivity in healthcare is difficult but not impossible. Here's how. The president tells us that we should be “bending the cost curve” on healthcare, and politicans everywhere are scrambling to present their favored pork projects as plans that would do just that. Lobbyists of every stripe and color are storming legislative offices with great wads of dead presidents and the commentariat debates angels dancing upon pinheads: that is, what could be done if we had a legislative system without legislators, pork, lobbyists, or dead presidents printed on pieces of paper.What I have yet to see (and apologies to those...

Palin Responds to Obama's Health Care Speech(She Goes After Him Again!!!) http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=131081638434&ref=mf ^ | 9-9-09 | Sarah Palin Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 12:50:56 AM by Sarah Barracuda After all the rhetoric is put aside, one principle ran through President Obama’s speech tonight: that increased government involvement in health care can solve its problems. Many Americans fundamentally disagree with this idea. We know from long experience that the creation of a massive new bureaucracy will not provide us with “more stability and security,” but just the opposite. It's hard to believe the President when he says that this time...

As the debate on health care in the U.S. continues, President Obama detailed his vision for health insurance reform in his second address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday September 9, 2009. The address was carried live from 8:00PM to approximately 9:06PM on 10 television networks. The sum of average audience for those networks was 32,111,596 viewers. The networks carrying the press conference were ABC, CBS, NBC, Univision, Telemundo, BET, CNBC, CNN, FOX News Channel, and MSNBC. Viewership to last night’s address was down 38.6% from President Obama’s first address to a joint session of Congress on February...

I’m not exactly the most succinct writer, but for my assessment of Barack Hussein Obama’s September 9th speech to Congress I will forgo my usual verbosity. Bottom Line: the President said nothing we haven’t already heard. I have addressed the issues he claims are misinformation previously; you can read that post here: http://aaronopine.blogspot.com/2009/08/rebutting-misinformation-misinformation.html Here are some quick summaries regarding some of the things I didn’t address in that post: ... Throughout this debate it is critically important that we remember the distinction between health care and health insurance. Obama is proposing health insurance for everyone (CBO estimates also say there...

Aware of the fact that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office of President, what well-seasoned professional politician would be stupid enough to sign their name and stake their personal career upon certifying Obama as eligible?

Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. - Sen. Barack Obama, 2006 While Zero Hedge has been accused of disagreeing with President Obama's statements, ideas, and policies before, we would like to state on the record that we wholeheartedly agree with the President on this one occasion, with the caveat that it was uttered at a time when i) he was not a president, and ii) he presumably actually did in fact care about "our children and grandchildren" instead of...

An appeal filed with the Utah Supreme Court says a district judge went too far when she stripped a polygamous sect's charitable trust of its religious purpose and denied church members "an effective voice" in court proceedings. In rulings in the United Effort Plan Trust case, 3rd District Judge Denise Lindberg has sanctioned "continued violations" of constitutional rights of thousands who belong to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the appeal claims. The appeal was filed Aug. 26 by attorneys representing five FLDS members, including sect bishops Lyle Jeffs and James Oler. Lindberg refused to allow...

A black Tibetan Mastiff who's name is 'Yangtze River Number Two' is believed to be the most expensive dog in the world. Perhaps its telling that the owner is a Chinese millionaire named Mrs. Wang. I guess the Chinese can afford ..

If...could...would. That pretty much sums up the "scientific" analysis in a Chicago Tribune story warning of the terrible warming the Windy City will be enduring in the not too distant future. Never mind that Chicago has been experiencing much colder than normal weather this year as your humble correspondent noted last June when quoting the WGN Weather Center blog: The cloudy, chilly and rainy open to June here has been the talk of the town. So far this June is running more than 12 degrees cooler than last year, and the clouds, rain and chilly lake winds have been persistent....

Tuesday night, MSNBC’s Hustler, Keith Olbermann, announced with a flourish that he would not follow the example of pornographer Larry Flynt and ask his tiny audience to go to work digging up dirt on Glenn Beck. Gee thanks. Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s not still NBC’s slime dog millionaire. Olbermann was MSNBC’s anchor for the broadcast of President Obama’s healthcare speech last night. (Imagine the screaming we would have heard from the whole mainstream media had Fox News used Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity in the anchor chair on for an Obama speech). Olbermann began the coverage immediately after...

Eight years ago, Yacov Margolese was driving his car, his then 2-year-old daughter Serena in the back seat. He was working that day as a massage therapist in a day spa in Potomac, Md. It was in the car that he heard the news come over the radio, the act of terror that would change the world. In this personal story, it would absolutely change Yacov Margolese’s life. Two years after Sept. 11, 2001, Army Spec. Yacov Margolese took cover in an outpost outside of Baghdad, Iraq, when an enemy missile, possibly a Scud, eerily whistled overhead, its deadly payload...

FOX's Sean Hannity interviews Congressman Joe Wilson from South Carolina who speaks out about his "You lie!" outburst during President Obama's health care speech to Congress on September 9th. Wilson talks about immigration in the health care bill.
