Looking thin but healthy, the young al Qaeda spokesman lashed out against escalating U.S. and Pakistani air strikes in tribal regions, where he and other top al Qaeda leaders are believed to be hiding. The tape appeared to be recently recorded, as Gadahn pointedly spoke about America's financial crisis, referring to "the escalating chaos and looming meltdown threatening the crusaders' economic system." He references the current economic crisis...

This, my friends, is what passes for objective journalism in today's America. Could there be any better example of the blatant bias of our leftist media?

I have grown so discouraged with John McCain's inaction; his seeming lack of commitment; his refusal to take the fight to the enemy in this Presidential Campaign, that a few moments ago I submitted the comments below to his Official Campaign Website.

Once he secured the Democratic nomination, the theme changed. The theme is still “change,” but now this arbitrary word has wended its way through a forest of different applications – our economy, our foreign policy and corruption in our government. He’s sure we need change, but he’s suddenly not exactly sure what kind of change. Obama’s message has changed dramatically within the past four months, but America cannot forget where he started. “We can't drive our SUVs and eat as...

My bailout target? Personal responsibility. America is experiencing a collapse of the ethics market. Belief in the notion that people should be responsible for their own actions, or pay their own bills or keep their promises has plummeted. It’s time to pump moral and ethical capital into the idea of individual responsibility. Is it any wonder that Wall Street is waiting for a bailout? After all, we’ve...

Whether liberal puppet-masters in his campaign are prompting this or Obama, himself, lacks a real connection with the Black American struggle, one thing is clear: Barack Obama and his party do not want us to leave the oppressive plantation mindset that has exploited the Black vote for years.

Today, some of these philosophers’ ideas are still popular. These philosophers were Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. They attempted to find an explanation of the order, design, and purpose of the universe. They also attempted to find philosophical absolute truths. However, they placed man at the center of everything, instead of a divine Creator who advocated a way of life that required His creation to live by His absolute truths.

No visitor to the gas pumps, and no investor, can doubt why. Yet we also live in a globalized world in which the tectonic plates that shape international politics are shifting, often dangerously.
