OK, there wasn’t one. As a result of controversy that was raised up about Pastor John Hagee within the past few days, Senator John McCain rejected the endorsement Hagee had given his presidential candidacy, without any apparent attempt to come to Hagee’s defense. At the center of the mentioned controversy is an argument Pastor Hagee included in a late 1990s sermon. Those who unearthed this sermon, sum up Hagee’s argument as saying, “… the rise of Adolf Hitler was part of God's plan to help the Jews reach the Promised Land.” If that’s an accurate summary, I think Pastor Hagee...

Wednesday, May 14, 2008 It's Only a Few.....That's What They Keep Telling us Those that follow the worldwide problem of Islam, continually hear the popular "it's only a few" excuse by the Islamic apologists. Well, I beg to differ. Lets finally put that excuse to rest. If it were only a "few", then how can these FACTS be explained? http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2008/05/its-only-fewthats-what-they-keep.html

Just a couple of questions to people who have installed xp service pack 3. Is it worth the installation? What benifits are they? I did a little research and found a ton of info and a lot of people complaining about problems, would you recommend a person with mediocore pc problem solving skills install this?

An experimental drug has blocked the progression of prostate cancer in an animal model with an aggressive form of the disease, new research shows. The agent, OSU-HDAC42, belongs to a new class of drugs called histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, compounds designed to reactivate genes that normally protect against cancer but are turned off by the cancer process.

Our Congress displays an abundant lack of knowledge about economics this week while trying, and I say that with all sarcasm, to help the average American through these difficult times of outrageous gas prices. However, I do not believe that belittling the EO's of the top oil companies in this nation will produce the desired results. I don't want to let the oil companies off the hook here, they are a serious part of the problem, but not the culprits of a vast conspiracy as so many seem willing to believe. What these "hearings" accomplish is a sound bite for...

INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER HAVE WE A VISIBLE SUCCESSION OF BAPTIST CHURCHES DOWN FROM THE APOSTLES? On the western coast of India, near Goa, and also in the Mediterranean, springs of fresh water, which do not rise to the surface but are run off by the undercurrent, rush out of the strata at the bottom of the sea. But in the Gulf of Xagu, on the southern coast of Cuba, a wonderful fountain of fresh water gurgles up in the open sea; forcing aside its salt waters, it passes off in the surface-current and is lost in the ocean. From this spring...

...Is Barack Obama really an agent of POSITIVE CHANGE, or is he merely a return to the rhetoric and idealism of McGovern, Carter, Mondale, and Dukakis? Is he really offering a dialect that is new to Washington, or is he merely repeating the very talking points of President Carter? ...

Other gun bloggers (War on Guns and Snowflakes in Hell, to name a couple), have covered the outrageous (and criminal) police harassment of open carry activists in Dickson City, PA. The police thuggery eventually led to the arrest of a man who had broken no laws, and the confiscation of his entirely legal firearm. As I said, this has already been well covered. The reason I am writing about it today is to respond to this editorial piece, "Big difference in right v. smart." Police detained one of the armed diners and temporarily confiscated his weapon when he declined to...

Good news for luxury mobile phone lovers. Following Prada and Giorgio Armani’s example, Christian Dior is making their Diorphone available in their boutiques. For only €3,500, you can score yourself two phones for the price of one. Yes, the special thing about this phone, is you receive a mini phone with it.

My apologies to all for the lateness of this post --- it has just been a week from you now where here. As we all morph into this holiday weekend, I would like to remind you all to take a moment to remember why this is a "holiday" weekend. Yes, we're all going to enjoy our cookouts and the 3 day weekend (well some have 3 day weekends) but I do ask that each of us take a moment and salute those for whome this weekend remembers.

I love watching leftwing moonbats go berserk. The fact that they just can't control their incredible anger at conservatives is highly entertaining from a comedic POV. Check out this MOONBAT attempting to give a rational critique of conservatism. At first he just reads from a script and tries to act scholarly. However, he just can't keep up the act. To skip the tedious part of his recitation, just fast forward to the 6:10 mark and watch as Mr. Moonbat completely loses all self-control. Please be warned that there is very strong language as the Moonbat undergoes a complete mental...

An article on a recent poll of the public's attitudes towards Sen Obama's connection with Rev Wright indicates that - some things in the culture have changed, drastically - and not for the better. Often the advent of a deep cultural shift is marked by a resounding silence - it is what is not heard that tells the actual story. Such was the case in regards to the "Monica Lewinsky Scandal" of the Clinton Presidency. Previous to that episode, In the US or UK at least, clear and public evidence of an adulterous relationship engaged in by a current President...

The internet and mainstream media are full of stories claiming John McCain threatens Social Security. That’s nothing new. The Democrats use this rhetoric every election. “(Fill in the name of any Republican candidate) will cut your Social Security” is a standard in the Democrat playbook. The reality is that it is the Democrats who are threatening Social Security. We’ve known for years that the Social Security system faces a structural financial crisis. The first of the Baby Boomers are beginning to retire already. Their grandchildren are the ones who are paying for their Social Security retirement benefits, and there just...

For the strong of stomach, here is the link to a thread begun with a question about who will take the blame this November if/when auto gas is near $7 a gallon. Rather than argue with the poster, the forum members engage in over-the-top personal attacks and then ban the poster from the forum. The vile language and cretinous attacks tell volumes about Obama voters.

The afterglow didn’t last long, however. The proverbial ‘red flags’ soon began to appear. The volume of complaints from authors steadily grew; the production backlog became the elephant in the room, and uncertainty over company funds became fodder for water cooler chat. Then on August 31, 1997, an event occurred that signaled the beginning of the end.....

Dutch political cartoonist Gregorius Nekschot was arrested on suspicion of violating the country’s so-called “hate speech” laws. It took a police team of 10 to accomplish the apprehension of Nekschot at his home, where he declined to resist arrest, much to the dismay of several of the officers. Police also seized his computer, sketches, CDs, DVDs, pencils, paper and telephone. The presence of several “unclean” comestibles—a can of Spam and a bag of fried pork rinds in his larder was also noted. Nekschot’s cartoons have mainly mocked leftists and Muslim extremists, though the spokeswoman for his publisher said “any strong...
