This is the latest ad from John Corzine, these guys know exactly what they are doing and will stop at nothing to get re-elected (Photos, Video + Polls)

Did you hear?Sarah Palin is a WOMAN! (gasp!!) And she's a REPUBLICAN! (the horror!!) And she's from ALASKA! (what, she's not even American?!) And she chose to have A BABY! (can you believe it?!) And she shops for CLOTHES! (where do we get people like this?!) And she had no knowledge of the "BUSH DOCTRINE"! (she really is stupid!! What's the Bush Doctrine, BTW?--a non-existent doctrine that some dippy reporter pulled out of his butt to prove how unqualified she is--oh, she's not just stupid--she must be retarded!!) And someone says that someone says that they heard someone else quote...

…Thanks so much for reforming the health care system that will cover 94% of the population up from the 88%-90% legal population that are anyway covered. … Thanks for coming up with a plan that will be “self-sustaining” and “deficit neutral” just as social security was supposed to be. Now let me ask you a few questions, Mr. and Mrs. Democrat:

The Christian-Newsom killings are the most shocking racist murders in the early 21st Century America that were ignored by the Leftard Media. Can you imagine the headlines if the two young people were black instead of white and the murderers/rapists/torturers white instead of black? The silence of the African-American community to this Hate Crime indicates tacit approval for the killing of two beautiful and innocent young people in love. I say it is the black community in America that has a problem with racism. Yesterday the KKK lynched innocent blacks; today the KLAN WITH THE TAN murders innocent whites.

Editors Note: In December ‘08 a retired CIA officer commissioned an investigator to look into the Barack Obama birth certificate and eligibility issue. On July 21, 2009 westernjournalism.com obtained a copy of the investigator’s report. Here is an unedited version of the report. June 10, 2009 Report, updated July 18, 2009 The Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii I think that I now understand the legal background to the question of where Obama was born. Let’s begin with the statement that Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the Director of the Hawaii Department of Health released on...

Many have noticed the President’s over use of a certain phrase, “let me be clear.” What is really interesting is the fact that Obama rarely used this phrase prior to becoming president. A fairly extensive survey of 100 of the Best Speeches of Barack Obama from 2002 through to his Inauguration in 2009 and the official website Organizing for America: Obama Speeches, found very little use of the phrase before this year. So why the sudden and over use of “let me be clear”?

Why is it that a country that has produced some of the most beloved authors, prolific inventors, and has advanced the fields of science, medicine, and technology, recently found itself at the epicenter of moral and financial decline? Our current president has become the butt of Marxism jokes in the same week that he is appeasing Islam– how sad for America and its people. Yet, I fear it is our people that have become complicit in this deterioration, for more often than naught, we take for granted our freedoms and the responsibilities tied in to those freedoms. One of our...

We have known about the H1N1 (Swine Flu), risk for many months now. We knew that last spring's outbreak would turn into a more virulent strain by this fall. That is all basic science. Concerned for our citizens, the government recognized the need to produce substantial volumes of vaccine. We have spent more than $2.2B for H1N1 Swine flu. To date, only a minor amount of this vaccine has been delivered, but concern seems muted. Despite new vaccine manufacturing technologies, we persist in using outdated methods and to spend huge sums of money in a wasteful manner. Why?

Why does President Barack Obama’s White House continue to be mired in distraction? Since the president took office there has been Gates Gate; the international snub in Copenhagen, Denmark, after the president flew there overnight to make a bid for Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Olympics; the call for New York Gov. David Patterson not to seek election to a full term; and now the puerile decision to attack Fox News.

Is Obama setting up a crisis?

Another day another "Sarah Palin is right" column on economics, and again, from all places, Reuters! James Pethokoukis the money and politics writer for Reuters has this to say:

Last week's SNL opener was a hopeful start for those of us who believed the crew at SNL would never find anything humorous about the Obama presidency.   This week they were handed a golden  premise on a Nobel Prize platter and fell flat.  Just Karl of Patterico and Green Room fame saw it coming 13 hours before air time.  That alone was funnier than anything in the skit.  After a long look around conservative websites, I have come to the conclusion we know how to spot humor and how to write it.  Here is a top ten list that I...

"I've officially been saved, and soon, whether they like it or not, the rest of the country will be too. I will follow him....."

“Nothing is easier than blaming others for our troubles and absolving ourselves of responsibility for our choices and our actions. Anyone can do that. Responsibility and leadership in the 21st century demands more.” — Barack Obama Very poignant statement by Barack Obama, but as witnessed by his leadership style and penchant for blaming Bush on a weekly basis for something he can’t control, he left it incomplete.

This interview is with Glen, the editor of the Religion of Peace, a site meant to expose the jihadist agenda. 1. Osama bin Laden and many leaders of militant Islam have stated that their goal is to create a global caliphate. However, many in the American and Western world ignore this. Why do you think that people still don't recognize these plans? People in the West have been trained by the media and political leaders to ignore the religious motives of Islamic terrorists and focus merely on the threat posed to security. Many Muslims do not want to believe the...

On the eve of the hearing in Judge David Carter's federal courtroom in Santa Ana, California, over whether Barack Obama will be forced to produce documentation of his birth, several things are clear: 1) Barack Obama still refuses to produce any documentation concerning the circumstances of his birth. The question remains: Why? 2) His lawyers (paid for by you, the taxpayer) made NO assertions in their pleadings concerning whether or not Obama is a natural born citizen. None. They simply told the court that it doesn't have jurisdiction in this matter. If you want to boil the message of Obama...

Little Green Footballs, once one of the highest regarded Conservative blogs on the entire Internet, has devolved into one of the most vile anti-Conservative blogs on the entire Internet, as the website apparently devotes itself to spearing right-wing pundits, lawmakers, fellow bloggers, and the ideals which Conservatives hold dear. Over the past few weeks alone, Little Green Footballs has attacked Congressman Roy Blunt as a racist, which has been disproved by numerous sources, even the New York Times did not buy into the racist claims against Congressman Blunt, then Little Green Footballs attacked Senator Jim Inhofe for opposing global warming,...

For years the mantra of the Left was that continuing to fight in Iraq would embolden terrorists and that reversing Bush-era policies would help ease al Qaeda's 'concerns.' Guantanamo Bay prison is on its way to being closed. Fighting has nearly ceased in Iraq and troops are being pulled out. Obama lauded the Muslim world in a Cairo speech. And in less than a month, five possible plots to attack the United States have been uncovered.

This happened in an interview after Chavez speech to the United Nations, Foxnews ask some questions of Chavez and he responded through his translator.

Joe Klein of Time Magazine spells it out loud and clear – the tea baggers and town hallers are the rump of yesterday’s America. They are white, working class, mainly rural and they are old – old in their skin and old in their minds. They belong to Sarah Palin’s America, says Klein, which really never existed outside Frank Capra’s movies or Norman Rockwell’s pictures. They shop at Wal-Mart, they drive pickups, they like country music, they live in trailer parks and, above all they are ignorant...oh so ignorant. They never read books and they can’t do even the simplest...

In a 12 minutes address on audio tape, Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, spoke to the American people on the eighth anniversary of 9/11. The tape was produced by the as-Sahab propaganda arm of the terror group and posted on various Jihadists forums last night. His address, directed "to the American People," asserted that the main reason for the Al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, was US support for Israel as well as “some other injustices.” Interestingly Osama claimed the war between the two "nations" i.e. the American nation and the Islamic "Umma,"...

Crowd Size From The 9/12 March On Washington DC 84rules September 14, 2009

From CNSNews.com: Despite a still-lagging U.S. economy and rising unemployment rate, House Democrats announced late Friday that they will seek a massive increase in federal income taxes to help pay for the national health-care reform proposal that President Obama is urging Congress to enact this summer. House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D.-N.Y.)revealed late Friday afternoon that House Democrats will seek to increase income taxes by $540 billion. The move, which had been discussed earlier in the week by House Democrats, broke in an Associated Press story that was published at 4:14 PM Eastern Daylight time on Friday afternoon...

I just watched the classic movie “High Noon”, AGAIN! Gary Cooper played a brave sheriff who brought law and order to his town. As one woman said, “He made it safe for a decent woman to walk down the street”. A recently released outlaw was coming back to town on the noon train to deliver vengeance against the sheriff who put him away. His gang of three arrived early to help their leader take out the sheriff. Fully aware of why the bad men were in town, the sheriff could not arrest them because they had not broken any laws....

Photoshopped? Looks like it is, if it is not, why would the White House upload this picture knowing the controversy it would create... Here we go again. Another case of symbolism over substance, feeling the need to engage in these tactics to create an image of the President in the public's mind... The photo was uploaded onto the blog at whitehouse.gov/blog From the White House's new flickr.com/whitehouse photo page The site tells you that the photograph may not be manipulated President Barack Obama addresses a town hall meeting on health care insurance reform inside a hangar at Gallatin Field in...

Markos (An Atheist, born in Chicago, and educated in Berkeley, California) Moulitsas said:

Being the proverbial engineer, I want facts and data. So once again I heard rumblings about another Bill before the Senate and I wanted to decide for myself if this is a bad deal for Americans and to know who is telling me the truth. This time it is Senate Bill 773, “Cybersecurity Act of 2009.” While I think cyber security is an important issue, the government is once again overstepping its bounds into an area in which it really has no business, nor any expertise. From my reading of the Bill, it is loaded with ambiguity and massive amounts...

An open letter to the Republic of the United States

You may have heard this from a number of people, including staunch, self-professed conservatives that juries make stupid decisions because they are filled with stupid people who weren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty in the first place. When the conversation turns to tort reform, the same people will proffer any number of ideas on the problems and fixes, generally blaming lawyers and lawyer fees. When I suggest that “smart” people shirking their civic responsibility to serve on juries allow the “dumber bleeding hearts” to run amok, the conversation quickly changes to sports, the weather or anything but...

I've often quoted and commented on H.L. Mencken here over the years. In my view, the man is a hero and a genius. But I've never referenced Murray Rothbard, who's certainly in the same class...

The Administration is busy crunching the numbers for the next budget, and frantic phone calls are being made all over D.C. One in particular might just be the most expensive phone call in the history of telecommunication. And it’s even worse because the White House is calling collect.

Much of the controversy between evolutionists and creationists concerns the age of the earth and its fossils. Evolution, depending as it does on pure chance, requires an immense amount of time to stumble upon anything remotely approaching the complexity we see in even the simplest living things. For over 1200 years, geologists have attempted to devise methods for determining the age of the earth that would be consistent with evolutionary dogma. At the time Darwin's Origin of Species was published [1859], the earth was “scientifically” determined to be 100 million years old. By 1932, it was found to be 1.6...

A couple of weeks back, when the hottest topic of discussion on most forums was the "birther" movement, I ran across a nifty little article on The Wall Street Journal Online. It used the topic of so-called "birthers" to introduce the left-leaning interest of "anti-birthers". Not in relation to the eligibility of Barack Obama to serve as President, but in relation to overpopulation. It was quoting an article from a couple of statistics professors at Oregon State University, pontificating from their lofty self-annointed perch, about the dangers to the environment from population growth. Just like the 1960's and early 1970's,...

Cash for Clunkers is not the worst program to come out of the current Congress and administration, and it may even be the best. It is certainly the only program that has any chance of achieving much of what is intended. Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's worth a damn.

10. No innovation. As Nobel Prize Laureate Edmund Phelps told Bloomberg News Aug. 2, “I’m not convinced that there’s going to be another wave of innovation in the offing.” 9. Speaking of innovation, the US is not getting the clever immigrants it used to. Remember that almost half of Silicon Valley during the tech bubble peak was Asian. 8. China will hold its own but its economy is too small to act as a locomotive for the rest of the world (maybe for Korea). 7. The US only can finance its nearly $2 trillion annual borrowing requirement if banks and...

Someone sent this video to me as a means to saying Romney isn't a "real conservative." I'm curious to see if any of you agree with this analysis, and why. Please post your thoughts directly on the blog in response to this post. I will add my comments in a later post...

Full disclosure: I have written a blog for the last 5 or 6 years -- and (if I do say so myself) it's not bad. In all that time, though, I've never once seen fit to link to one of my posts here. That'd be tacky and not befitting the purpose of this site. But, there are more than several Freepers who use FR continually as a vehicle for getting hits on their blogs instead of simply linking to the article they've ripped off and riffed on. It's getting tiresome and it just clogs up the works with postings that...

Now that would be a great story, except for one thing...its not true. Still I'm sure plenty of people will read the headline and not the copy. For those who don't know, Mcleod is the “Ethics Nazi” of Alaska who politically stalked Palin while she was Governor, and filed numerous ethics complaints against her and brought on a lawsuit. Now I can't say for fact, and have no real basis to suspect that she probably has assisted in perpetuating rumors about the ex-Governor, but certainly by her actions she has encouraged it and I'm sure if asked she would not...

The latest in the Amero saga... I know it sounds impossible, but the world is being forced to a point of having to implement a one world currency. Or at least a one world currency among the major economies - maybe Tunisia might escape. But, ultimately, since the world economies are all linked now, none can stand alone whatsoever, so then the idea of individual currencies is fading. In fact, all individual currencies do now is cause trade and currency frictions, like the US complaining the Chinese are using a cheap Yuan to manipulate their trade to their advantage, and...

SALT LAKE CITY -- This most likely won't surprise you. Most Mormons are Republican. The Pew Forum U.S. Religious Landscape Survey says 65 percent of LDS Church members are either Republican or they lean that way, which is a higher percentage than any other religious group. (...) The Pew study says only 50 percent of evangelicals consider themselves Republican or right-leaning, compared to 33 percent of Catholics, 41 percent of members of what are called "Mainline Churches" and 25 percent of "Other Christians." According to the study, 22 percent of Mormons are Democrats or left-leaning, and 8 percent say they're...

Dr. Michael Savage confirmed on his radio show "The Savage Nation" last night, that he is still banned from the United Kingdom, and also drops a potential bombshell that in his words is "a very dangerous situation that will put a chill through every fair minded American and that will set off a shockwave through the British and American governments." According to Savage, after researching the information he and his lawyers obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, there is significant evidence to suggest that there are more American talk show personalities whose names are also on the United Kingdom's...

There are two waves moving across the Caribbean with one being in the Bahamas and the second moving through Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Could they become a concern for the U.S.? Find out by reading the full post at http://www.dopplerdale.com

One who persists in doing what hasn’t helped, and may well have harmed, is a clearly dangerous person. The “Father of his Country” may have been killed by such persons. Similar persons may be equally dangerous to the country itself. If bleeding can weaken or kill a human being, why would we expect bleeding an economy − or a nation − to have a different effect?

Desecrating the Sabbath to protest desecrating the Sabbath. Scenes of rioting, rock throwing, and violence have rocked a Jerusalem district. No, this time it's not crazy jihad supporting Arabs acting on cue from Arafat or the Mufti for the jihad supporting media. This time it is misguided anti-zionist, anti-Israel Jews! Some of these misguided Jews have even spit in the faces of Israeli police and called them "Nazis". They are so upset about the opening of a parking lot on the Sabbath to alieviate real problems caused by a severe parking shortage in the city. Hmm... "What man is there...
