WASHINGTON—It is now apparent that our President has lied to us. He lied when he crooned soothingly about improving the healthcare of millions of Americans through vast changes in health policy that would actually lower their costs. Those costs are now going up, and they are going up for almost everyone. They will not come down. He lied when he said we could keep our present healthcare policy. Those policies are rapidly disappearing. He lied again when he said we could keep our doctors. He lied when he said his plan would not involve rationing. I could go on, but...

Christian Psychiatrist M. Scott Peck (1936 – 2005) wrote the definitive book on Barack Hussein Obama in 1983, although, of course, he never met him or mentioned him. The title of Peck’s book is “The People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil.” While Dr. Peck is more widely known for “The Road Less Travelled,” his “The People of the Lie” remains one of the most important scientific contributions to the study of the origins of evil. Dr. Peck connected evil people directly with the bane of malignant narcissism. To him, the evil are “the people of the...

So Alinsky dedicates his book, Rules For Radicals, to Lucifer. His explanation is that Lucifer was “the first radical” and that he rebelled against the establishment. Alinsky wrote “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins—or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer.” It never ceases to amaze me. The way socialists defeat themselves again and...

Robert Gibbs continues the hoax of Climate change inside the bubble of Obama Adm. lies when asked about Climategate from Foxnews Major Garrett (Video)

In case you have not yet heard, the scientists behind the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) have been exposed through their own email conversations. At this time, it is not known who or how the emails were obtained, though much speculation has been done. From the servers at the University of East Anglica in the UK being illegally broken into and hacked, to a whistle blower protected by UK laws as well as US laws, to an insider job, a person with legitimate access to the emails have all been discussed. More will be revealed certainly. What is known...

On MSNBC on October 27, Rachel Maddow interviewed Jane Hamsher, well-known Hollywood roustabout and left-wing blogger for FireDogLake.com. The subject was the progress of Obamacare in the Senate and Senator Joe Lieberman's warning that he might join a Republican filibuster of the Baucus bill if it contained the so-called public option. During the discussion, however, Hamsher went off on a tangent about the 1964 Civil Rights Act and made the allusion that the famed anti-civil rights Dixiecrats joined Republicans to stand in the way of civil rights during the 1964 debates. Maddow: Let me ask you about the statistic I...

I cannot stand today’s modern liberalism. It used to advocate freedom from tyranny, but now it advocates a new form of tyranny at the expense of freedom. It does exactly the opposite now of what it used to do at this country’s founding. The political cycle works in this fashion. When Conservatives are in office for a long time, the people veer left, and when liberals are in office, the people veer right. It reminds me of the idea that the ancient Greek philosopher Plato cited when he said, “The excessive increase of anything causes a reaction in the opposite...

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) should not have exclaimed "You lie!" in the middle of Barack Obama's speech on health care. ...However, although Rep. Wilson should not have said what he said when he said it, it needed to be said. The President of the United States told a blatant half-truth during his speech when he said people would be free to keep their existing health insurance, while he refused to take responsibility for his contribution to the perception that his health care plan includes the creation of "death panels" that would ration or terminate medical treatment for senior citizens and...

(CNSNews.com) - Planned Parenthood is under fire after one of its employees was recorded encouraging a student - who was posing as a pregnant minor - to lie about her age in order to obtain an abortion without the abortion provider having to report the "statutory rape" to the police. Lila Rose, an 18-year-old sophomore at the University of California Los Angeles, visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in the city, posing as a 15-year-old impregnated by her 23-year-old boyfriend. The visit was part of an investigation for The Advocate, a new pro-life magazine distributed on the UCLA campus. California law...

Glimpses of the Devil, reviewed by David Neff GLIMPSES OF THE DEVIL by M. Scott Peck Free Press, 288 pp.; $26.00 When psychiatrist and bestselling author Scott Peck published People of the Lie in 1983, I took special notice. His brief account of exorcisms in one chapter was consistent with my observations of two attempts to exorcise demons that plagued a woman I had been counseling. So I was also primed to read Peck's newest book, Glimpses of the Devil, in which he speaks in-depth for the first time about two cases of possession and exorcism. Indeed, he claims this...

Back in the 1970s, when possession and exorcism were the cinematic and fictional flavor of the era -- one that historian Martin Marty appropriately called “the silly season” -- it fell to my lot to conduct a pre-publication review of Malachi Martin’s sensational book Hostage to the Devil. I was allied in this with an internationally celebrated clinical psychologist. Working independently, our conclusion was the same: Martin’s five “cases” were fabrications of an inventive but disturbed mind, lacking all psychological, historical, theological and pastoral credibility. Some time later, I interviewed Malachi Martin on television. A former priest, Martin had left...

I recently set out to learn more about Islam. I had no agenda at the time except to broaden my knowledge on the subject. What I have learned sickened me. I had previously been accepting of the notion that Islam was a peaceful religion and that the Muslim terrorists who inflict so much pain and death around the world represented a fringe element outside of mainstream Islam. I was wrong. The Islamic deity, Allah, is a false god. While the term "Allah" does indeed carry the same meaning as "God," Mohammed's Allah is nothing more than a construct of a...

The idea that liberals are concerned, compassionate, altruists, and that conservatives are evil and greedy is being promoted by Democrats and their mainstream-media acolytes. The purpose of this is to convince the electorate to vote for Democrats, who are the representative political party of liberals, because it is they who are concerned about all of us - not just certain special-interest groups. This caused me to rethink liberal ideals and determine just how altruistic they are. After all, if it can be shown that these claims of altruism are false then people should be aware of the hypocrisy of the...

PEMBROKE, N.H., Dec. 22 — Howard Dean came under criticism from an Iowa newspaper last weekend for an answer to a questionnaire in which he implied that his brother was serving in the military when he disappeared in Laos 29 years ago. His brother had been traveling in Southeast Asia as a tourist. Asked by The Quad-City Times, which is based in Davenport, Iowa, to complete the sentence "My closest living relative in the armed services is," Dr. Dean wrote in August, "My brother is a POW/MIA in Laos, but is almost certainly dead." The brother, 23-year-old Charles Dean, whose...

<p>It’s about time someone laid out the facts so that the media can stop the Bush bashing over the lie about the war with Iraq being "unilateral". Many of the current 2004 democrat presidential wannabees have consistently stated their objections to the "process" in which the Iraq war was fought, not the fact that the war was fought. After all, many of them (in the senate) voted in favor of giving President Bush the authority to use force.</p>
