"Either relativism is a genuine theory in which a real assertion is made, or else it isn't. But any attempt to assert relativism without relying on just-plain truth [absolute] would inevitably fail, because it would generate an infinite regress. And, of course, any assertion of relativism that does not rely on just-plain truth would be-self defeating. So it looks like any apparent assertion of relativism is either self-defeating or else is not a real assertion, but something more like an empty slogan." (Jubien, Michael. Contemporary Metaphysics. Cambridge, Mass.: Blackwell, 1997) "The only way the relativist can avoid the painful dilemma...

Check here daily for updates on the latest General Election Projection for the 2008 Presidential Election. Both the map and the "Poll Averages" chart will be updated at least daily, sometimes multiple times a day as new polls become available. The "Poll Averages" are based on a six-week average of polls for each state where available. The projection map is based on a combination of the averages for each state, the state's previous voting history where little poll data is available, and the all important "gut-feeling." Be sure and leave your comments as to how you see the election shaping...

News continues to roll in that the United States may be nearing a decision to strike Iran. In my previous installment, I discussed the storm of tough talk currently unleashed from Washington. In this installment I’ll lay out some of the other events in the region in recent weeks. First, an intriguing report was published alleging that Washington authorized the execution and funding of a covert offensive against Iran in recent weeks. Six weeks ago, President Bush signed a secret finding authorizing a covert offensive against the Iranian regime that, according to those familiar with its contents, “unprecedented in its...

Economists received gloomy news last week that the worst economy since the depression grew by over a half percent. “At this rate I’ll be dead before most of humanity is killed and the rest of us are forced to endure a hand-to-mouth existence as subsistence farmers and mastodon hunters,” Malbert Crickendale, economist for the DotPenn financial report said. “I wish the Democrats in Congress would get off their asses and do something to speed up this demise.” Crickendale said that mainstream media’s continual harping on the “subprime implosion,” “credit massacre,” “unprecedented foreclosures” and “Brittany’s meltdown” should have had far worse...

In my last blog in this series, I talked about how one of the leading parties in the so-called anti-war movement, ANSWER, is actually made up of people who support the communist dictators of North Korea and Cuba, communist rebels in Latin America and the Phillipines, and terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Today, I'll be discussing ANSWER's communist origins.

Now that the Democrat primary race seems to be over, Pied Piper Pitt has worked up the liquid courage to make a statement about the primary. Thus far, other than to angrily berate his fellow DUmmies for daring to suggest they might sit out the general election, Pitt has been MUM on the primary race raging around him. Of course, he did claim to be a strong Edwards supporter but only AFTER the Breck Girl was dropped out of the race so any endorsement would be completely safe to make. So now that the Democrat race seems to be...

This a 2'30 video to celebrate Israel, the Land of God and His people, for now and ever.

Click on the link to check gas prices in Europe. And take a look at other factors regarding the cost of gas. And what happended to the Great Depression we were promised? Whatever happened to the Great Depression? Not the real one from 70 years ago, the lost decade of unimagined misery and Steinbeckian angst, the worst period in the history of modern capitalism. I mean the replay we were promised this year. I don’t know about you but I feel a bit cheated. There we all were, led to believe by so many commentators that the sub-prime crisis was...

She's not quitting. WASHINGTON (AP) — Her money drained and her options dwindling, a resolute Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Wednesday to press on with her presidential bid even as she and top advisers were hard-pressed to describe a realistic path for her to wrest the nomination from Barack Obama. ..."I'm so happy to be here in West Virginia and excited about the next week as we campaign here in this beautiful state about our country's future," Clinton told an audience at Shepherd University.She planned to return to the state Thursday, then fly to South Dakota and Oregon, which also have...

With last night's results in North Carolina and Indiana, only the most stalwart Hillary supporters can think anything but that Barack Obama will be the Democrat nominee for POTUS. A more accurate analysis of the fall general election race can finally begin. For both parties, their nominees are at best a mixed bag. Obama has a ton of money (about $274 million) through a very successful small donor campaign. He is also an extremely powerful orator. He is running in an election with a very shaky economy, record gas prices, a war and an unpopular incumbent of the opposite party....

I don't profess to be all that astute when it comes to politics and my observations about the world's oldest profession are made from far outside the beltway and with my own obvious bias. But, I have been paying more than passing attention to politics for a very long time and I know a few things. One thing I know is that a more cold and calculating couple of crooks than the Clintons has never appeared on the political scene throughout American history and perhaps - never. I also know they do nothing without their own personal and political interests...

[Anti-Semitic hate speech at my.barackobama.com] I have it on good authority that radicals within the powerful rightwing Jewish Lobby including [AIPAC] American Israel Public Affairs Committee are vexed, frustrated and displeased with Barack Obama's refusal to accept special interest money and consequentially seek his crucifixion....In collaboration with the Clintons, they [the Jewish Lobby] dispatched a number of "candidacy assassinators" including former Clinton special counsel, Lanny Davis, Florida congress woman, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, California congress man, Brad Sherman, CNN news anchor, Wolf Blitzer [vis-a-vis Lou Dobbs], Independent Senator, Joseph Lieberman, the far right crippled Washington Post Journalist, Charles Krauthammer and others to...

I Will disclose the identity of the Driver face to face on any live nationwide broadcast with Barack Obama and David Axelrod. Lets see who runs from this opportunity to address the TRUTH as Barack Obama claims he wants to tell to the American People. The following was written by Eric Gibbons, aka FirehouseGallery on Youtube on 2-24-08 CNN, MSNBC & FOX all know about this, and others. They have researched this story and will not air it because it is libelous, inaccurate, and fraud based on the ranting of a very sick man with a self-admitted mental disorder and...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) called the Supreme Court’s decision on Indiana’s voter identification law “undemocratic.” The law requires voters to show a valid photo ID in order to obtain a ballot. “The Court’s decision places obstacles to the fundamental rights of the people, especially the ignorant, the undocumented, and the inanimate—the very people whose circumstances tend to impede their ability to register or cast a vote,” Pelosi complained. “The right to vote is a foundation of our democracy. Everyone who wishes to vote must be allowed to do so.” Pelosi predicted that the ruling would “reduce 2008 voter turnout...

More than half of the task force members who will oversee the next edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s most important diagnostic handbook have ties to the drug industry, reports a consumer watchdog group. The Web site for Integrity in Science, a project of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, highlights the link between the drug industry and the all-important psychiatric manual, called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The handbook is the most-used guide for diagnosing mental disorders in the United States. The guide has gone through several revisions since it was first published, and...

REV. LAINIE DOWELL -- ON FAITH Black Liberation Theology Brought To Media Attention Long Ago, But Ignored As I recall, it was during the 1990s when I wrote to Oprah Winfrey about the problems in the Black Baptist Church in America and the NAACP and I asked her to investigate. I never received a response from Winfrey's show which is produced in Chicago, Illinois. I now recall how, in 1985, I was a Preacher at the First Baptist Church of Guilford (FBCG), in Columbia, Maryland. The Pastor at the time was Rev. John L. Wright (no relation to Jeremiah Wright--but...

Would a white candidate be in Barack Obama's position, poised to win the Democrat nomination, if he or she were friendly with a former white supremacist that blew up black churches in the 60's? Would a white candidate still have a political career if it were found that he or she attended a "white power" church for twenty years? Would a white candidate be given the benefit of doubt if he or she said, "it's not surprising that black people turn to crime and drugs because they are bitter." Barack Obama may win the Presidency because he is the beneficiary...

This article by Rebecca Eckler, author of Toddlers Gone Wild!, is so offensive in so many ways it's hard to know where to begin. Here's one. Rebecca writes: "On behalf of my four-year-old, who has a Yahoo account in her name, I recently sent an e-mail to her father, who lives in Alberta. "'Hi Daddy,' I typed, as my daughter was fast asleep. 'Mommy has been talking about Mother's Day. I only have 143 pennies in my piggy bank. She's the best mommy ever. She's been pretty exhausted. I'd like to get her something nice. Can you help? Love you.'...
