Christians who attend worship services in a suburb of Kansas City will have to ante up for new thousand-dollar city "fees" that are being assessed against their churches based on the number of seats in their sanctuaries.

This is one of those jokes against the Left that really smacks hard, because it hits unapologetically at the core of who these people are. Honestly, the more I read and research in politics, the more I come to one very simplistic conclusion: the Left is really and truly just evil. Watch the clip. Get the joke. Then tell us how it makes you feel. It’s jarring to see this put so clearly, distinctly, and openly. I think this needs to happen more often so regular people can see the Left — in all its forms, like PETA — for...

This is the most radical president in history; the close personal friend of communists, uber rich socialists, and ultra radical revolutionary thinkers. I would stake my children's lives on the fact that someone close to the President has brainstormed all of what I will say below in much more detail than I will.

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.-Thomas Jefferson

The 'tolerance' of the left never ceases to amaze me. For the people who want: an Islamic Mosque at the place where Islamic fanatics murdered 2752 mostly Americans; Homosexuals to marry and also insert (sorry) their tawdry behavior into the minds of American children in the public schools and so much more, they are the most intolerant when it come to freedom of speech for any who disagree with them. In the last week I had 2 "friends", unfriend me on Facebook. The first, a friend of 30 years, because I posted information about the TSA's groping of nuns and...

Security has become a topic of debate since the Transportation Security Administration implemented more aggressive search techniques at airport checkpoints. Recently, a poll has found that 61% of likely voters oppose the newly enhanced security measures. The Zogby International poll of more than 2,000 voters also found that 48% said they would seek alternatives to flying because of the new measures, and 52% said the enhanced security would not prevent terrorist activities. Almost half, 48% said the new approach violated passenger privacy rights, and 32% consider the pat-down search procedures to be sexual harassment.

Philadelphia, PA – Thanksgiving travelers opted out of commercial air travel in large numbers across the country on Opt Out Day as reports came in of eerily quiet airports, shorter than usual security lines, swamped bus and train stations and 94 per cent of travelers opting to drive instead of fly. We Won’t Fly has received multiple reports of the federal government’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) shutting down full body scanners, selecting fewer people for secondary screening, using less invasive patdowns and being unusually friendly and helpful to flyers.

(SEATTLE, WA) -- The bloom is off the rose for conservative talk radio in some markets around the country and a landmark station in that format in Seattle has joined the ranks of others who have decided to move on – and not in the vein of moveon.org, format wise. KVI-AM radio - after some 15 years in the conservative talk format and being the legacy station that launched that format for the first time in Seattle – is leaving the format to go to Rock Oldies, according to Fisher Communications, which owns the station ...

The people of Georgia having dissolved their political connection with the Government of the United States of America, present to their confederates and the world the causes which have led to the separation. For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery. They have endeavored to weaken our security, to disturb our domestic peace and tranquility, and persistently refused to comply with their express constitutional obligations to us in reference to that property, and by the use of their power in the...

Video of Ann Coulter going on and on about how Hillary's more conservative tha McCain and how she'll vote for her over McCain. She says she'll campaign for Hillary against McCain.

Last week I wrote asking for reader input into the questions we would ask Governor Mitt Romney, a Republican candidate for President in 2008, in an upcoming interview. Thanks to the great feedback in the comments, we were able to put together a list of questions to use for the Romney interview, as well as future podcasts with other candidates we are scheduling now. The interview is below. Due to time constraints with Governor Romney, however, we weren’t able to get through all of the questions. Instead of rushing, we divided the questions up into two parts; his campaign says...

“If Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter don't "make it" and it becomes necessary to vote while holding my nose and puking, I tried to devise a rational way to determine which RINO (Republican In Name Only) would make me the least ill.” I began another thread with this statement. The following is a promised update to that thread posted on 1/15/08. That thread is found HERE In it I posted a chart that included: The issues important to most conservatives, Rating the issues by the most important to the less important and Rating the candidates on each issue from 0...

If Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter don't "make it" and it becomes necessary to vote while holding my nose and puking, I tried to devise a rational way to determine which RINO (Republican In Name Only) would make me the least ill. I identified my top issues and prioritized them based on: How immediately an issue could impact the nation- Immediate, Urgent, Serious The power of an issue’s negative impact on the nation- Devastating, Powerful, Strong and Once implemented the likelihood an issue could ever be changed- Unchangeable, Changeable. It seemed rational that issues like being conquered by illegal immigrants...

After nine months of fundraising, the candidates for president in 2008 have already raised about $420 million. This presidential money chase seems to be on track to collect an unprecedented $1 billion total. By some predictions, the eventual nominees will need to raise $500 million apiece to compete--a record sum. To find out where all this money is coming from, explore the options to the left. Year-end reports are due to the Federal Election Commission by Jan. 31.

Our exclusive guest this week is Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson, former Tennessee senator. Plus, The Des Moines Register's David Yepsen joins us. We're just days away from the first-in-the-nation caucuses in Iowa where voters will begin choosing their party's nominees for president. The race is getting tighter as each candidate makes a final push to win the Hawkeye state's caucuses. Fred Thompson made a late entry into the field and started with high numbers. Now he's scrambling for a good showing with the hopes of gaining some much needed momentum. How does he plan to make it happen? We'll...

Tancredo explais his support to Cavuto. He says lay a templte across the remaining candidates and Romney's positions are closest to his. Illegal Immigration Borders Defense Electability Romney comest the closest Had a lengthy and in depth meeting for several hours and questiond him in detail on these and other issues. Romney fits better tan the rest. Whenever 2 candidates fight it out Romney/Huckabee some support goes away from both. McCain is benefiting from that.

Tancredo gave thought to where his support might end up and was concerned some of it might go to Huckabee. He hd a meeting with Romney this morning and came away convinced Romney will follow his stated plans. Because of Romney's strong statements on illegal immigration and because he is the conservative who has the best chance to win he endorsed him.

Coulter just now on Fox News Live Desk denounces Huckabee as not conservative. She says "His faith is about the only thing he has going. It's the only reason for his rise in the polls."

<p>I heard today that Hillary Clinton's campaign is focusing on her likeability. That she really is likable. I have no idea. But on this whole likeability thing, I most definitely have an idea. It's important. In fact, it's everything. You aren't likable as a candidate, you're going nowhere as a candidate. I think the whole appeal to Mike Huckabee is the fact he is likable. In fact, he's very likable. Now his critics are combing his record to point out he has said and done some very unlikable things. Which only seems to make them more unlikable, not Mike. That stuff matters. Bosses rarely groom people they don't like or people they fear their investors or employees won't like. Likeability won it for President Bush against John Kerry four years ago, even among those who acknowledged he otherwise lost the debates on substantive issues. But on that intangible issue of who appeared warmer or friendlier, the president had it down. John Kerry did not. I don't know if these things are fair, or accurate, or even right. Just that they are. You can say your candidate is likable. But that doesn't make them likable. People know it in their gut. Or they don't. And I'm not saying the best presidents are the most likable. I am saying they'd never be president in the first place if they were not.</p>
