Marine 1st Lt. Clebe McClary Next, they'll be trying to snuff out officers who are too straight, or too white... (Gazette) A religious rights group is calling for the removal of the Air Force Academy’s top officer after a flap over a speaker planned for a February prayer luncheon at the school.The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says the academy’s choice of retired Marine 1st Lt. Clebe McClary shows that superintendent Lt. Gen. Mike Gould remains tilted toward evangelical Christianity and tolerates an environment where proselytizing is accepted.Lt. Gen. Mike Gould“We’re done,” said academy graduate Mikey Weinstein, the foundation’s founder and...

Global warming activists 10:10 Global take eco-terrorism to a whole new level. Hoping to generate more buzz for their 'cause,' we hope they get more than they can handle - the kind that will completely redirect their efforts. A Youtube video link is provided to shed more light on the true 'spirit' of progressives who continue to peddle drivel at the expense of humanity. WARNING #1: Do NOT watch this video if you wish to avoid portrayals of extreme violence, genocide and terrorism - all in the name of environmentalism.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UHN3zHoYA0&feature=player_embedded WARNING #2: This is not a one-off situation. This is NOT...

File this under the pseudo-Christian column. President Obama concluded his speech at this week's Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala with: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights, life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”The U.S. Declaration of Independence reads: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”Poser. "...there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying...

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself." "For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the...

"Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude." — Alexis de Tocqueville Alexis (July 29, 1805 – April 16, 1859) was a French political historian best known for, 'Democracy in America' (Two Volumes: 1835 and 1840) and 'The Old Regime and the Revolution' (1856). In both works, he researched the state and...

In 1997’s Pigford vs. Glickman case, approximately 400 African (hyphen) American farmers sued the US Department of Agriculture claiming racial discrimination from 1983-1997. When the case was settled an estimated 2,000-3,000 claims were expected to be filed with awards reaching $50,000 each. Today, nearly 92,000 black ‘farmers’ are claiming ‘Pigford’ reparations — 5 times the number of blacks who were operating farms at the time. The 2007 Agricultural Census shows a total of 39,697 ‘Black or African-American’ farm operators — keep in mind that’s 10 years after the last ‘Pigford’ year. Interesting that the National Black Farmers Association puts their...

Northwestern University professor, Kristian Hammond, received more than $700,000 in federal stimulus money to develop software that tells jokes. Hammond says it’s serious work. “Understanding what makes humor, what makes irony, what makes interesting juxtapositions, to understand what that means [then] actually create it," said Hammond. WLS-TV reports, “The material generated so far is not exactly killer standup material, and Hammond's critics certainly aren't laughing. Senator John McCain singled out Hammond's project, calling it a ‘joke machine’ — one of many examples of wasteful spending.”Hammond received the funding after he applied to the National Science Foundation, beating out dozens of...

Throughout this recession Obama was busy creating jobs — website storefronts, mall shops and street vendors eagerly peddled Obama memorabilia allowing the general public to actually touch the 'birth of hope' and capture his moment in history. Alas, this once seemingly recession-proof industry is now struggling to survive. The Washington Post reports, “Sales peaked at the height of Obamamania, between the election and the inauguration.” “In Union Station, the souvenir shop once dubbed the Obama Store because of its mostly Obama-related selection has closed. [...] That moment in history is gone," said Molly Andolina, a professor of political science at DePaul...

Too busy to attend the 100th Boy Scout National Jamboree and the Restoring Honor rally where hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered in Obama's 'backyard,' the First Couple need to chill after last week's White House hip hop bump-and-grind fest before getting bizzay with this week's party events, which include the annual Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual Phoenix Awards dinner.

Realizing carp are a much greater threat to our national security than illegal immigration, the Obama administration appointed a Carp Czar yesterday to oversee federal response teams preventing Asian Carp from entering the Great Lakes. “When it comes to the Asian carp threat, we are not in denial. We are not in a go-slow mode. We are in a full attack, full-speed ahead mode,” says Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois. “We want to stop this carp from advancing.” “The carp, which have steadily moved toward Chicago since the 1990s, are aggressive eaters and frequently beat out native fish for...

Most will recognize this hideous, flesh-eating creature as a member of congress. Upon closer examination it becomes clear how fanged bulbous worm-like maggots that thrive in decaying filth are often mistaken for governors. This member of congress maggot was captured by an SEM (Scanning Electron Micrograph), confirming Stephen Hawking's brain misfired before he claimed God had nothing to do with the creation of the universe. Yea Steve, these little miracles just happen... More creatures at: http://sadhillnews.com/2010/09/07/creepy-closeups-electron-microscope-scans-unseen-world

TIME Magazine is partnered with CNN. Both happen to be the airport's favorite 'news' vehicles for bombarding travelers with liberal media bias. As CNN ratings plummet, we detect a heightened sense of desperation from Time's last-gasp efforts to sell issues of their rag. First, their cover depicting ‘Islamophobic' America and now their childish ‘anti-Zionist’ dust jacket.Ignoring sensationalism and rubbish is usually the best practice. So that’s exactly what we’re going to do...right after we illustrate how TIME deceptively manipulates its sheeple.

The US Department of Justice is suing Arizona, again. This from the Washington Post: "The suit against the Phoenix area Maricopa Community Colleges was filed less than two months after the Justice Department sued Arizona and Gov. Jan Brewer (R) over the state's new immigration law. It also comes as the department is investigating Joe Arpaio, the sheriff in Maricopa County, who is known for tough immigration enforcement."
