Oh I’m sure some people are going to be outraged at me by saying that. Except it was not me. It was all but said by Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk to the participants at the Synod on the Family in the Vatican. Metropolitan Hilarion is from the Russian Orthodox Church and addressed the assembled clerics at the synod. In his address, he included this bit: “ The authorities of some European countries and America, in spite of numerous protests, including those by Catholics, continue to advocate policies aimed at the destruction of the very concept of the family. They...

King Herod, (President Obama), has the US government teaming up with activists to establish a domestic terrorism 'czar'. So who are these 'domestic terrorists' that Obama's Department of Justice 'watching,' and who are they using to do this 'watching'? Answer: The disgraced Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and they are ordered to watch us, the Christians. Assistant Attorney-General John Carlin, head of the Department of Justice's (DoJ) National Security division, announced the deal with the SPLC on Wednesday. On their top agenda are folks like us: Shoebat.com. And what are they watching us for? Well, just yesterday the SPLC posted:...

For once, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is in trouble for something he didn’t say as opposed to something he did. Specifically, he’s taking heat for his failure to defend Barack Obama when one of his supporters questioned his Christian faith. “We have a problem in this country,” said a man attending Trump’s rally in New Hampshire Thursday night. “It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American — birth certificate, man … We have training camps growing, where they want to kill us. That’s my question. When can we get rid...

I am rapidly losing patience with that POS occupying the White House. My sincerest wish is the next president prosecutes him to the fullest extent of the law. Last week, we found out that he was handing out billions to illegal aliens who never actually paid taxes, making many of them eligible for as much as 40 grand or more. Now they have set up a hot line where criminals from other countries who illegally invaded our country can file complaints against any federal worker, including border agents that “violate their rights”!! They don’t have any rights. Can you imagine...

Texas Lt. Governor David Dewhurst called for the impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama during a Tarrant County Tea Party candidate forum on Monday. According to the Texas Observer: The crowd at Monday’s meeting of the Northeast Tarrant Tea Party got more than they bargained for. The event at Concordia Lutheran Church in the Fort Worth suburb of Bedford was originally planned so tea party members could learn about the Muslim Brotherhood’s supposed infiltration of the United States. But the crowd was also treated to a dose of the sniping that’s come to define the Texas lieutenant governor’s race — and...

A new poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal reveals that public perceptions about race relations in America have taken a devastating hit since the election of Barack Obama. At the beginning of the president’s first term, 79 percent of whites and 63 percent of blacks had a positive view of American race relations. Those numbers have plummeted to 52 percent and 38 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, 45 percent of whites now consider race relations fairly or very bad, compared with 20 percent in 2009, and the negative views held by black Americans has jumped from 30 percent to...

WASHINGTON — Even before a former U.S. intelligence contractor exposed the secret collection of Americans’ phone records, the Obama administration was pressing a government-wide crackdown on security threats that requires federal employees to keep closer tabs on their co-workers and exhorts managers to punish those who fail to report their suspicions. President Barack Obama’s unprecedented initiative, known as the Insider Threat Program, is sweeping in its reach. It has received scant public attention even though it extends beyond the U.S. national security bureaucracies to most federal departments and agencies nationwide, including the Peace Corps, the Social Security Administration and the...

We’ve heard about the government spending $1.5 million to determine why most lesbians are fat and almost twice that much to discover why they are drunks, but a peek under the White House rug shows much more willful waste of our money. Barack Obama is arming Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood so they’ll be able to defeat our ally Israel in the next Middle East war. He gives the PLO hundreds of thousands of our money each year as well. King Barack has eaten through $1.4 BILLION in happy lifestyle spending on him, Mooch and their royal highnesses. $505,000 of our tax...

(CNSNews.com) - The federal debt has increased $2.5 trillion over the past two years, during a time when federal spending has been governed by a series of deals cut between Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Democratic President Barack Obama. Boehner became speaker on Jan. 5, 2011, when the 112th Congress began its first session. At that time, the federal government was operating under a continuing resolution (CR) passed on Dec. 21, 2010 by the previous Congress. On March 1, 2011, Boehner and Obama made their first spending deal to provide funding for the government after the then-current CR expired...

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 15, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – On Wednesday, President Obama nominated seven judges, including a black homosexual, to the federal judiciary, saying their appointments “ensure that the judiciary resembles the nation it serves.” Obama appointed Judge William Thomas to the Southern District of Florida. Thomas has served on the Eleventh Judicial Circuit since 2005. “Today’s announcement…reflects the president’s historic commitment to advancing a diverse judiciary that looks like America,” said Nancy Zirkin of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. “If confirmed, these nominees would bring more women, minorities, and openly gay judges to courts to better reflect...

Did ideological soft spot for Sharia keep U.S government from protecting Benghazi consulate? Obama knew. Say again, Obama knew. So. The question. If what happened in Benghazi wasn't incompetence -- was it ideology? Did Sharia kill Ambassador Chris Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and two Navy SEALs? And is Hillary Clinton's insistence yesterday that the leaked State Department e-mails were "not evidence" yet more evidence that indicates the Obama White House not only knew what was going on but deliberately turned a blind eye to Benghazi because of that ideology? Specifically, did an ideological soft spot for Sharia...

“In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell Barely a week has gone by since this year’s commemoration of the Holocaust Remembrance Day in Washington, where the current president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama gave his speech, which he made it become more about “preventing mass atrocities...” Then, he proceeded to announce the creation, that same day of the Atrocities Prevention Board, under the leadership of none other than well known pro-Palestinian Samantha Power, During his speech, Obama had to respond to a Jewish Holocaust survivor lady who demanded assurances...

A major public concern about nuclear reactors has been that the spent nuclear fuel could remain stranded at the reactor site indefinitely. In the 1970s, courts prohibited the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from licensing new reactors unless it assured the public that the waste would be removed—a requirement called the “waste confidence” rule. President Obama’s decision to abandon plans for removing the waste to the Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada creates an uncertainty that could be a barrier to the expansion of nuclear power. Two nuclear policy experts argue that the 1982 Nuclear Waste Policy Act provides sufficient confidence that spent...

WikiLeaks has been releasing emails pilfered from Stratfor, a private global intelligence firm. One email thread in particular has been grabbing headlines today, even though it was actually disclosed last week – The Journal has a story dated March 1st about them. In this exchange, Stratfor’s vice-president for intelligence, Fred Burton, discusses the disposal of Osama bin Laden’s corpse with CEO George Friedman, and suggests he thinks the official account of bin Laden’s burial at sea is false. These were internal and confidential emails, sent between the officers of a private firm. They’re big news today because a hacker group...

Anyone who believes America's culture wars are behind her should have started out Friday reading The Washington Times. The headlines on the three top stories on page one read: "California judges asked to say if they are gay." "'Tebow Bill' for home-schoolers dies in Virginia Senate panel." "Opt-out on birth control defeated in Senate." The California judges story dealt with the lately passed Judicial Appointments Demographic Inclusion Act, which mandates a survey of all of the state's 1,600 judges -- to find out how many are homosexual. Purpose of the law: "Promote and increase the representation of lesbian, gay, bisexual...

I’m beginning to catch on to the strategy. It’s like the shell game. Keep the public and the media watching the problems with the economy, while another sinister agenda is going on unchallenged and out of sight. Meanwhile, the U.S. government may have killed a few despots and terrorists in foreign lands to make it look like a successful war against terrorism is being waged. The Obama-loving media likes that very much. Kudos to the president. Don’t look anywhere else. » If you like this article, please subscribe to our daily newsletter Well, some of us do look elsewhere.
