I watched with horror today a video of the Catholic Priest Father Weslin being arrested at Notre Dame over the weekend for trespassing (protesting abortion), while the most pro-abortion/pro-infanticide president (or politician for that matter) that this country has ever elected was honored by the same university. The link I have attached: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDA0QvWqoss&feature=related is powerful because it shows the honoring of Obama while at the same time showing the arrest of Father Weslin. Just so everyone is clear on this, a university run by the Catholic Church had one of their own priests arrested for standing up for an undeniable...

Abortion is the supreme moral issue of our time. No other issue in the developed world is bigger, no other issue is as comparatively ignored. While we hem and haw about the economy and terrorism and Israel and health care, literally MILLIONS of unborn babies are being aborted each year. Millions. Probably the biggest obstacle the pro-life side has is convincing people that there is an abortion holocaust going on that makes the Nazis look like amateurs, and the Soviet gulag system look like a slap on the wrist. It is the sheer enormity of the issue, the implications of...

How he could say this without cracking up is beyond me.

Well, that's a big and bold question. For the next few months, we're going to try to go over each and every section of the budget and show the waste, fraud and abuse in the budget alone. Things that a responsible party, whether it's the Republicans or a new party, built on the Tea Party movement, can use to show the American public just how bad the graft is. We've all heard about "The Bridge to Nowhere". But, there are many, many things in the budget that you may not have heard about, and starting now, we're going to start...

Joel Simon of the Committee to Protect Journalists rightly says that bloggers are in the vanguard of the information revolution we're going through thanks to the Internet. The impact on things like political freedom and social tolerance is hard to measure, but it's safe to say that whether through websites, blogs, emails, Facebook or Twitter, more people are transmitting information and venting views than ever before. Authoritarian regimes have been unable to stop the march of media freedom, but they continue to try. And bloggers are in the crosshairs--sometimes literally. CPJ has just come out with a report called "The...

You know my feelings about Sarah Palin. I was all for her at the beginning of her run as John McCain's VP pick. But then, I discovered what an utter ignoramus, lightweight, and ideologically spineless person she was (she ain't the conservative people claim she is, and she just hasn't a clue on most of it). On top of that, we all discovered how this absentee parent put her blind ambitions way ahead of her own family and now has a baby mama daughter to show for it, not to mention a baby daddy who argues back and forth with...

Maybe worse than the first Camaro wreck is the first Chevy Camaro breakdown. This "p**sy magnet" Bumblebee-yellow Camaro lost all electrical power and coasted to a stop with a scant 40 miles on the odometer. The ecstatic new owner, a forum fan-girl by the name of BUMLB, was crushed when the car conked-out cruising through a parking lot at a leisurely 5 MPH, completely losing all electrical power, locking the gear selector and the key in the ignition. A flatbed towed the disabled car to a dealer where diagnosis found the cable running from the trunk mounted battery had frayed...

On March 28, Hamoud Bin Saleh, a Saudi Christian arrested in January for writing about his conversion from Islam and criticizing the Saudi kingdom's crackdown on individual rights, was released from prison, according to Compass Direct News. Hamoud is reportedly forbidden to travel outside the country or appear in the media. In a recent post on his blog, Hamoud attributed his release to several human rights groups that campaigned on his behalf. "A nation which lives in this system cannot guarantee the safety of its individuals," he blogged, according to Compass Direct. In Saudi Arabia the penalty for converting from...

(United States Army) This week the Army not only launched an official blog portal, but also an Army fan page on Facebook.

From homeless to cause celebre, things are happening fast for the Central Florida singer-songwriter ever since he debuted his now famous “The American Tea Party Anthem” at Orlando’s Tea Party three weeks ago. Self-described Black American Conservative Lloyd Marcus was feted last Friday night before the Santa Barbara Tea Party by famed songwriter Tom Snow at Snow’s fabulous Montecito mansion overlooking the valley and Pacific Ocean beyond.

Orlytaitz: I have sent a Cease and Desist letter to Lisa Ostella, advising her to stop operating DefendOur Freedoms sites and stop using my pictures and posts and write posts under the name defend Our Freedoms foundation, as this foundation is registered under my name.

Humor me a minute. I have a disturbing story about my web Site and Blog. I publish a web site with advice for buying a puppy. It contains information about dealing with breeders and avoiding pet stores and puppy mills. It also contains some dog news (remember this for later) and training tips. My Blog has similar articles and is heavily cross linked with my web site.I recently added Google AdSense to generate a few pennies of revenue here and there. The Blog and Main Site have very similar levels of traffic, but the Blog is the only place earning...

The Saudi Arabian newspaper al-Watan reported today that Turkish security services have arrested a man of Syrian origins Friday in connection with a plot to assassinate President Barack Obama during his current visit to Turkey. The man, who was carrying an Al-Jazeera TV ID card in the name of M.G., confessed after his arrest that he was planning on stabbing the U.S. president with a knife during the Alliance of Civilizations summit held in Istanbul, adding that he had three other accomplices to help him execute his plan. According to the paper, Turkish investigators were trying to verify whether the...

Victor Davis Hanson asks why so many Americans are depressed. Suggesting five themes that might provide an answer, he thinks it might be more than the economy that explains our state of mind. I agree, but none of Dr. Hanson's themes accounts for my despair. I feel utterly powerless to do anything about the fellow in the Oval Office who combines infantile leftism and adolescent grandiosity in roughly equal measures. It seems to me that every day he is responsible for assaults on the freedom and well being of the American people. I can't keep up and I can't stand...

Frank Rich says this might be Pres. Obama’s Katrina moment. That would make Tim Geithner PBO’s Mike Brown. Which in turn might make some people’s blood run cold to hear the president say of Geithner, during his 60 Minutes interview broadcast this evening, that: “he is doing a terrific job.” [snip] Whereas in the case of Katrina, Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco bore much of the blame, in this case it is Geithner alone who apparently pushed to make the AIG bonuses, the ones that PBO has called an "outrage," legal. That's what the president calls a "terrific job"? View...

HAHA! Obama's teleprompter has it's own blog! Get the inside scoop how it's taking the pressure of force feeding words to empty suit and head Obama http://baracksteleprompter.blogspot.com/

There is a new brand of Orwellian brainwashing or thought reform emerging on Internet chat room websites whose apparent purpose is the use of subtle coercive techniques to change the beliefs of one or more people for political purposes in the religious culture wars but couched as some sort of religious confession or catharsis. Think of the adroit blending of George Orwell's Double Think, social psychologist Solomon Asch's conformity experiments, the manipulative Delphi Technique, and the use of religious confession all rolled into one. Let's call it the New Blog-Think, Wiki-Think, or Religious Lib-Think. Recently, a minister at a Christian...

SarahPAC today sent out the following e-mail update: As Washington, D.C. partisans continue to fight and bicker over "politics as usual," Governor Sarah Palin is working every day to reform government in Alaska and fight for the conservative values we all cherish. It's been a busy few weeks for Governor Palin. Like many Americans, the Governor is praying for the many families in Alaska that are struggling in a difficult economy. Not content with waiting for the federal government to sort through the mess, Governor Palin is working each day to restore Alaska's economy and put people back to work....
