Ground Zero Mosque To Be Built, Church Still Blocked
17. August 2010
Even while the government of the City of New York vehemently backs the construction of a 13-story mosque near Ground Zero, the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church — which was destroyed in the September 11th attacks — has yet to be rebuilt. Due to a lack of interest? No. Due to government interference? Yes. The [...]
Mosque Spokesman Posted Anti-Amish Statement, Too
17. August 2010
First the spokesman mocked Judaism, now he’s engaging in stereotypes against the Amish. Amish saying stop Muslims?1. What are you doing on the computer? 2. That’s not very Amish 3.

Poll: 57% Oppose Reducing Nuclear Weapons Stockpile
17. August 2010
Why? The answer appears to be two-fold. First of all, seventy-seven percent (rightly) believe that nuclear weapons are essential to America’s national security strategy. They’re not buying the far-leftist argument that disarming the United States military would make us all safer. Second, fifty-five percent aren’t gullible enough to believe that the United States disarming would [...]
Ray Bradbury: I’m Sick Of This Big Government
17. August 2010
Yes, that Ray Bradbury. As in the renowned science fiction author responsible for masterpieces like Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes. The man could fit in at a Tea Party rally, apparently. Ray Bradbury is mad at President Obama, but it’s not about the economy, the war or the plan to a construct [...]

Today Roger Simon, chief political columnist and usual-leftist, declares that Barack Obama will only serve one term as president. It’s not that Obama wants to be a one-term president, Simon says, it’s that he lacks the ability to be a two-termer. Q: Will Barack Obama be a one-term president? A: Yes, he might last that [...]
Feingold: Sure, I Stand With Barack Obama
17. August 2010
You have to give Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) credit. The policies he supports may be disastrous and he should be replaced by Ron Johnson this November. But Feingold doesn’t easily shift with political winds. He hasn’t been afraid to break with his party, though his breaks have always been towards the left rather than center [...]
