  • As the U.S. Air Force Academy grows hostile toward Christianity, fires threaten the institution

    La Salette Journey ^ | June 28, 2012 | Paul Melanson
    As this article notes, "Dozens of House lawmakers accused the U.S. Air Force this week of being 'hostile towards religion.'" But those lawmakers are mistaken. It's not religion in general which the Air Force is becoming hostile toward. It is Christianity. Jean Bodin, in his work "De la Demonomanie des Sorciers," writes, "Sorcier est celuy qui par moyens Diaboliques sciemment s'efforce de paruenir a quel que chose" - A sorcerer is one who by commerce with the Devil has a full intention of attaining his own ends." The Air Force Academy, while growing ever more hostile toward Christianity and the...

    Unexpected guests are visiting this year's Energy Fair in Ludington. Opponents of government mandated renewable energy are coming to the event to protest the blind push for renewable energy and hand out information showing that most wind energy is a farce. Spearheading the effort to present this politically incorrect point of view at the fair, is a group called the Interstate Informed Citizens Coalition. "Wind energy is a scam of Olympic proportions," coalition director Kevon Martis said. "It has no meaningful capacity value because the wind stops blowing whenever it feels like it. Far from liberating us from fossil fuel,...

    That ridiculous game they played today that Obama had written three speeches, that little farce could never fool a Corleone. They would never have leaked something that sounded so unsure, except to cover up their complete knowledge of the result. Does anyone really think Nancy Pelosi and her ilk would have immediately predicted a victory after negative oral arguments, if the liberals on the Supreme Court hadn't leaked a result? There is so much wrong here. Remember the preposterous claims that John Roberts was a man of courage? His life was spent as an inside the beltway privileged big school,...

The Supreme Court Ruling could have gone in one of several directions: 1.If you like your Health Care plan, you can keep your Health Care plan. 2.If you like OUR Health Care plan, you can keep OUR Health Care plan. 3.Whether you like OUR Health Care plan or not, you can’t keep your Health Care plan. 4.If you like your Health Care plan, tough s**t, amigo.

    To: New Jersey Biotechnology Community From: Debbie Hart, President Re: Breaking News: Supreme Court Upholds Affordable Care Act News briefs coming from Washington report that the U.S. Supreme Court today upheld the constitutionality of all parts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) including the so-called "individual mandate," which would require that nearly all Americans, from birth until death, have health insurance or pay a penalty. The mandate has been upheld as a tax, according to SCOTUSblog, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberal wing of the court. BioNJ and the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) supported many provisions of the...

    With all due respect to those of you who served our country with honor and distinction, as soon as the USSC court decision came down, I went outside and turned my flag upside down. Our country is lost. The US Supreme Court just stepped outside its Constitutional boundaries and re-wrote a law again and handed Congress even MORE power over our daily lives. The ObamaCare legislation as written did not contain the word "tax" anywhere. It used the words "penalties" and "fines" .. not "tax." In fact, Obama's own lawyers argued against it being a tax in front of the...

    In American history, June 28, 2012 is a day that will go down in infamy. The nation may have just crossed the Rubicon between the Liberty for which it was founded and social and political hell. Only the most massive citizen uprising since the revolution can set the record straight. Quit complaining, quit sitting on the sidelines watching and get working in any and every way you can. It's no longer up to the little dictators in judges robes, it's up to us.

    Ashake Banks said she opened a candy stand on the street of her North Austin block two weeks ago to keep kids close to their homes and maybe away from gang crossfire. Late Wednesday night, Banks' 7-year-old daughter Heaven was sitting next to Banks as she sold snacks and snow cones when someone opened fire down the street around 10:45 p.m. A stray bullet hit the little girl as she ran back to her house in the 1700 block of North Luna Avenue, police and family say. She died half an hour later.

    How the world's economic centre of gravity has shiftedIT IS not exactly news that the world's economic centre of gravity is shifting east. But it is striking how fast this seems to be happening. In a new study on the economic impact of urbanisation the McKinsey Global Institute, the research arm of the eponymous consultancy, has attempted to calculate how this centre of gravity has moved since AD 1 and how it is likely to move until 2025. Although the underlying maths (which involves weighting the approximate centre of landmass of a country by its GDP) has to be taken with a...

    One Republican Congressman, whom I believe they said was from Arizona, just said the same thing I said after this Ruling: "Today, the Supreme Court awakened a sleeping giant. This changes the Election drastically." This has so angered people and will cause many to realize, this is no small matter. This is no game. We MUST Elect Mitt Romney, and a GOP House and Senate on November 6, 2012 so this ObamaCare Mess, our new Tax the Supremes gave us today, can be repealed and totally dismantled. I believe this "victory" for the Obama Thug Brigade in the White House,...

    The Left feels cheated. Not by you or me… not by the system, exactly, but by fate. Recessions, someone told them, resolve themselves in sixteen months, give or take. That’s what someone calculated, someone who knew about such things, someone who did math and statistics for a living, and should therefore know. And if recessions resolve themselves in sixteen months, we can do whatever we want in 2009, they reasoned. Whatever we want. Raise taxes, force through some massive spending bills and regulations, provide giveaways to our buddies… If the recession will end anyway, why not? And so they created...

    Obamacare wins: SCOTUS upholds individual mandate Posted: 6/28/2012 10:21:48 AM The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the individual insurance requirement at the heart of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. The decision means the historic overhaul will continue to go into effect over the next several years, affecting the way that countless Americans receive and pay for their personal medical care. The ruling also handed Obama a campaign-season victory in rejecting arguments that Congress went too far in requiring most Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty. Chief Justice John Roberts announced the court's judgment that allows the...
