Have you seen this guy? I had not up to now. Well, he is rather like Howard Beale in the movie "Network", except in some ways better. I thought for sure that he was going to blow a gasket!!! Speaking truth to power via the Internet --- that's describes his way of thinking, and I like it; like it so much think I will use it again later. Anyway, take a look --- you will get a conservative kick out of hearing, finally, someone tell the simple truth.

Nicolas Sarkozy has sparked a bitter EU row by suggesting that the European Commissioner who compared his Roma policy to Nazi deportations should offer to host expelled gipsies in her native country of Luxembourg. Luxembourg reacted with fury as the heated row threatened to engulf the meeting of EU leaders. "I know that Nicolas Sarkozy has problems with Luxembourgers, but he's gone too far here," said Jean Asselborn, Luxembourg's foreign minister. France has lashed out at Viviane Reding, a Luxembourger and the EU's justice commissioner, who on Tuesday threatened legal action and described Mr Sarkozy's treatment of Roma as a...

"There's no question that most people who easily gain weight, and/or quickly regain weight after losing it are different from other folks," says Scott Kahan, MD, co-director of the George Washington University Weight Management Program in Washington, D.C., in an email. "The general public tends to think of 'fat' people as lazy and as having no willpower [but] it couldn't be further from the truth." "Ample evidence, now including this study, suggests that there are physiologic reasons for weight gain, difficulty at losing weight, and rapid weight regain after a diet," he says. "There is no question that certain people...

It’s been 24 hours since Delaware GOP Senate primary winner Christine O’Donnell dethroned nine-term Soros Republican incumbent Mike Castle. As of tonight, he still hadn’t placed an obligatory call to congratulate her — and his e-mail to supporters doesn’t mention her at all, according to the Delaware News Journal. Even more intriguingly, the paper tweets that Castle’s lines of communication worked quite smoothly when he took calls from…President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden last night:

Didn't they say they were going to announce something to excite dems all over the country? All they have is a creepy, lifeless, modern, statist logo that I can tell. Was there anything else?

Okay, quick show hands: how many of you out there knew the largest economic development project in the United States was the THREE BUILDING HOMELAND SECURITY COMPOUND in Washington D.C.? Is it as large or larger than the Pentagon? Are our masters in Washington building themselves a Palace on the Potomac from which to rule Us, the Peasants? Are you kidding me? Do we really need another 4.65 MILLION square feet of office space the better to strip search Us, The Trampled,at the airport?? Read More…

Podunk local cops wasted more than half an hour assessing the Connecticut home invasion and setting up a vehicle perimeter -- time the two attackers used to strangle the mother in her living room and set the fire that claimed the lives of the two girls upstairs, according to shocking testimony today. The revelation -- which suggests perhaps the family could have been saved but for police bungling -- came on day three of testimony in the murder trial of crack addict Steven Hayes, charged as one of the two monsters who launched a rein of rape and murder against...

Israeli cabinet minister has given warning of a fresh military offensive in Gaza after Palestinian militants in the territory launched the most sustained barrage of rocket and mortar fire in 18 months. Israeli soldier directs a tank near Kibbutz Sufa, just outside the southern Gaza Strip The confrontation in Gaza overshadowed US-led efforts to defuse a row between the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships over Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank. With the argument threatening to derail peace talks, Mr Netanyahu and Mr Abbas met for a second day in Jerusalem to continue negotiations begun in the Egyptian resort of...

This guy says he doubts Muslims had anything to do with 9-11 and asks in what is the Koran to be blamed... LOL! http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/2607.htm

"And With Your Spirit" ---snip--- ROME, SEPT. 14, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Answered by Legionary of Christ Father Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy at the Regina Apostolorum university.Q: As in the English-speaking world, we will have to change the people's answer from "And also with you" to "And with your spirit." I have been looking for a good theological and historical-liturgical explanation for this change, in order to make it understandable for the faithful. Why this insistence on the spirit? And don't the people have the spirit as well? Apart from one short paragraph I have found no treatment of this question in...

"An activist who believes he was improperly included on a state terror threat list said this morning he is preparing a federal lawsuit. ...." Governor "Rendell said he is "deeply embarrassed" by the disclosure that state Homeland Security officials included information about protesters on what was supposed to be a list of possible terrorist threats."

The Prosecution of Nancy Pelosi By Jeffrey Lord on 9.14.10 @ 6:08AM It's time. Past time. Should House Speaker Nancy Pelosi be prosecuted on a Bill of Attainder? Should the House of Representatives consider legislation that begins by saying it is: "A Bill of Attainder to deprive Nancy Pelosi and other persons of liberty and property without further process of law for having violated the following ex-post facto law barring the setting of mandates on American citizens requiring them to buy health insurance. This case shall be exempt from all judicial review as previously provided by Article 3, Section 2...

Women generally find calm, collected men more attractive, and scientists now suggest they know the biology of why that is. Investigations into what makes men desirable often focus on testosterone. The hormone is linked with masculine facial traits, such as larger jaws and heavier brows, and is typically associated with better long-term health. As such, it might at first glance make sense from an evolutionary point of view if women found testosterone-laden men especially attractive. However, past studies have often revealed that men with high testosterone levels are not automatically appealing to women, who view such testosterone-laden men as having...

JEFF PERRY could be the next Scott Brown. It’s a mistake to write him off as an over-caffeinated conservative whose election night bellows about “taking our country back’’ make him unelectable in Massachusetts. The old rules of political viability no longer apply. Perry, a Republican lawmaker from Sandwich, hauled some heavy, well-documented baggage into the 10th congressional district primary fight. It didn’t matter. By 2-1, voters preferred Perry, a former police officer who stood by while his partner strip-searched a teenage girl, to Joe Malone, a former state treasurer who presided in ignorance as subordinates embezzled millions during his tenure....

A couple weeks ago, House Member Eleanor Holmes Norton made a fundraising call to a lobbyist. The lobbyist wasn’t available, so Holmes Norton left a voicemail. We have been given a copy of that message. The audio is below. By way of background, with their prospects for November quickly deteriorating, Congressional Democrats are scrambling to assemble the financial resources they hope can stave off their electoral armageddon. Speaker Pelosi and her leadership team are putting a lot of pressure on Democrat members to pony up campaign contributions to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. In the article linked above, Politico noted:...

As Pope Benedict XVI prepares for his historic state visit to Britain later this week, his unequivocal message on the inviolability and sanctity of natural marriage is clashing sharply with the approach of the country’s top Catholic cleric to the issue of homosexuality. Speaking on Sunday to Neil Tweedie of the Daily Telegraph, Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster was asked, “Should the Church one day accept the reality of gay partnerships?” He replied simply: “I don’t know,” reports Hilary White, LifeSiteNews.com.“There is in the Book of Nature an inherent connection between human sexuality and procreation; and those two things cannot...

This year marks the centennial of the Mann “White Slave Act,” when Congress made it a federal offence to transport a woman across state lines for “immoral purposes.” Though the act is still on the books (as former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer can tell you), and has been made gender-neutral, it is usually seen as a relic of nineteenth-century moralism. In fact, no act did more to overturn the nineteenth-century constitutional order. The Mann Act was boldly challenged the idea that the Constitution limited Congress’ power the ends enumerated in Article One, section eight. It established an all-purpose federal...

Michelle Obama thinks being America’s First Lady is ‘hell’, Carla Bruni reveals today in a wildly indiscreet new book. Miss Bruni reveals that Mrs Obama replied when asked about her position as the U.S. president’s wife: ‘Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!’ Details of the private conversation, which took place at the White House during an official visit by Nicolas Sarkozy last March, emerged in Carla And The Ambitious, a book written in collaboration with Miss Bruni.
