Uproar at Poll Claiming Israel is Most Dangerous Nation Jerusalem - Israelis have reacted angrily to a European Union poll in which most of those surveyed reportedly believe that Israel poses the greatest threat to world peace. Almost 60% of the Europeans surveyed believe Israel is more dangerous than North Korea, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the survey. Partial results were published in Spain's leading newspaper, El Pais, on Thursday. The United States is ranked as sixth most dangerous on the list. The full findings of the poll were due to be released today. Many Israelis consider Europe...

Left-wing activist/actor Tim Robbins took a crude shot Thursday night at "compassionate conservatives." On CBS's late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, when Robbins was asked to "use the words 'compassionate' and 'conservative' in the same sentence while being neither ironic nor scornful," Robbins came up with "F*** compassionate conservatives," forcing CBS to bleep his first word though it was clear what it was. The MRC's Brian Boyd caught the exchange in question #4 during the "5 Questions" segment on the October 30 show: Kilborn: "Use the words 'compassionate' and 'conservative' in the same sentence while being neither ironic nor scornful."...

By: Andy Obermann 21 October 2003 We’ve all known for a long time now that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) are nothing more than extensions of the ultra-liberal, Democratic Party agenda.

A roughly equal number work in slave labor camps that dwarf Auschwitz in size and nearly in cruelty. The regime has developed nuclear weapons, in violation of several agreements, and intends to sell those weapons to the highest bidder. It has lobbed ballistic missiles over Japan. It threatens a war of annihilation against its southern neighbor. It supports itself by dealing drugs and counterfeit currency. But at least it's not as...

Apology to Muslims and censure of Boykin: Resolution H. Res. 419, introduced by Rep. John Conyers Please write your congressional representative about Resolution H. Res. 419, introduced by Representative John Conyers (D-MI). Click here for the Congress.org link. The language concerning “religiously intolerant remarks” amounts to censorship of Christian, as well as other beliefs. The resolution is a knee-jerk reaction to Lieutenant General William “Jerry” Boykin’s exercise of Free Speech and Freedom of Religion in his own church. Proposing such a bill is the worst kid of appeasement to a group that is aggressively intolerant to non-Muslims around the...
