Some of the biggest supporters of the current health reform bill—replete with public funding for abortion—are self-described “progressive” Catholic organizations, such as Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, Catholics United, and Catholic Democrats. These Catholic organizations, along with the Catholic Health Association have created confusion for Catholics because at the same time the USCCB has strongly opposed the current health care reform bill because of its inclusion of public funding for abortion, these Catholic organizations are providing “official” Catholic support for the bill. This duplicity should surprise no one. In 2008, these so-called Catholic organizations encouraged Catholics to elect...

Several tons of gold imported into the UAE by traders and investors turned out to be fake on closer inspection, resulting in millions of dirhams in losses and high levels of stress to the victims. Speaking to Emirates 24|7, Mohamad Shakarchi, managing director of Emirates Gold, said: "A lot of people in the UAE who tried to import gold at lower prices or through dubious overseas companies have been cheated. We have inspected many consignments from African countries, especially Ghana, and found that there is not an ounce of gold in them. For importing pure dust or other metals with...

"Dr" Alex Kemos Texas A&M's No. 3 administrator presented himself as a warrior-scholar: A former Navy SEAL with a doctorate from Tufts University. But records obtained by The Eagle indicate Alexander Kemos never was part of the elite fighting force, and Texas A&M officials confirmed Friday that he doesn't have a doctorate or even a master's degree, which was a posted requirement for the $300,000-a-year position that serves as the top adviser to Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin. ...

Mr. Constitution, Glen Beck? 5PM after 5PM, day after day, Beck loves to talk about our Founders and the US Constitution as if he were the brains behind it. He talks about how the resident Alien Usurper in the white house is a communist and how all his minions are avowed communists. And with the last point of all the communists around him, Beck is correct but with the first point, regarding the US Constitution, Beck loves to think that he knows what our founders were thinking when they wrote all the founding documents of this great Republic. He conveniently...

A few days ago, Sharron Angle launched a new format to her website, giving the campaign a more professional looking web portal. Harry Reid’s campaign, however, took the code from the prior Angle website and launched a website called “TheRealSharronAngle.com.” The fake website was what, in internet terminology, is called spoofing, where a seemingly real website is created, usually to obtain information under false pretenses (frequently referred to as “phishing”).

For Darrel Higgins, finding an ancient arrowhead in a creek isn't surprising, it's actually expected. Finding a record-setting artifact that dates back to an estimated 14,000 to 18,000 years? Definitely unexpected. Higgins has been hunting creek beds for artifacts since he began finding them on farmland when he was a child. But nothing he had found compared to the 9 3/4 inch by 2 3/4 inch specimen he recently found in western Kentucky. The item, described as a clovis point made of buffalo river chert, was submerged in a creek bed when Higgins stumbled upon it. “As soon as I...

FIRST ON FBDC: FishbowlDC has confirmed that WaPo conservative-beat blogger Dave Weigel has resigned after a slew of his anti-conservative comments and emails surfaced on FishbowlDC and Daily Caller over the past two days. A spokesperson for the Post said the paper will not offer additional comments but confirmed that the writer's resignation was accepted.

Slimy Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) was just caught running a fake tea party candidate, Victoria Torres, in the state House district 51 race. Torres is a Grayson stooge.

US President Barack Obama has called on his Democratic party and other supporters to back a government campaign for clean energy. In a statement made as he visited areas affected by the BP oil spill, he said the US must "embrace a new future". Mr Obama is visiting Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, on his fourth visit to the region. Tens of thousands of barrels of oil a day have gushed into the Gulf of Mexico since a rig exploded and sank in April. In a statement aimed both at paid-up Democratic members and at millions of individuals who backed his...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama demanded that BP set up a compensation fund for the oil-tainted Gulf Coast and prepared for his first Oval Office address to the nation as he tried to wrest control of the environmental disaster threatening to overwhelm his administration. White House officials announced the steps Sunday as Obama prepared for his fourth visit to the tortured Gulf.

Apparently, the box is locked: Al and Tipper Gore are getting a divorce. The official word from the Gore camp is that the divorce was a mutual decision and that there was no hanky panky, no shenanigans, no side action, nothing on the schnide, no skullduggery, no nuttin’ — just a good ol’ American divorce. While the spin doctors and nurses are acting like nothing went on, an air conditioner repairman who worked exclusively for the Gores said Mr. Global Warming has been inhaling too many carbon credits. “First off, Gore isn’t fat — he keeps all the dough from...

This is an article which has been around for a while now. It is well written and should be reviewed by those that continue to challenge Obama. We should never forget the fact that a true “master of deceit” is sitting in the Whitehouse.This is an EXCLUSIVE article posted on the Western Journalism website. Here is the original link.It should be pointed out that American Grand Jury has evidence saved within its database backing up most claims made in this article. One special note: where this article claims Obama has spent 1.4 million dollars paying lawyers to hide the truth,...

FORT WORTH, Texas – A Texas man with no military experience managed to trick the Army into letting him enter a reserve unit as a noncommissioned officer earlier this year, putting an untrained soldier in a leadership position in a time of war, an Associated Press investigation has found. The revelation comes just months after the Army drew criticism for failing to flag the suspicious activities of the Army psychiatrist now charged with killing 13 and wounding dozens of others at Fort Hood. The case, detailed in court records and other documents examined by the AP, raises more questions...

Since it was announced that the 2012 GOP convention was going to be held in Tampa, the loonies of the left are at it already. They have already created a fake website at GOP2012Tampa.com. As usual, they will try to convince us all that they are non-partisan with statements like,” Whether your politics are left, right, or in the middle…” Obviously, when you use a website name that apparently hijacks the name of the GOP convention, it’s safe to assume that their politics are wayyyyyy to the left.

This isn't even AstroTurf. It is outright political fraud. Fearful of the tea party movement in Michigan (which Democrats and Republicans alike should be), the Democrats and/or their special interest groups have begun the process of officially hijacking the movement. Like in Nevada, they will likely launch their own 'tea party' candidate that is anything but. Unfortunately for the Democrats, 1) the tea party is more informed than they give us credit for; and 2) this news is breaking at the very conception of this slimy political move. The news was broken last night by Chetley Zarko on his website...

There is no real difference between the 'liberal democrats' of the UK (who, like every other party which tagged 'democrat' to their name ~100 years ago was doing so to differentiate themselves from the Totalitarian Left, like 'hey, it's OK, we're not like Lenin, even though we believe a lot of the same things'. Remember that context when you see 'democrat' in a party name), and the leftist Labor party, and they will together form a leftist government. They are acting now as if they might help the Conservatives into power: they will NOT. They benefit from acting as if...

I've been seeing this picture all over the conservative websites, and supposedly it's 'real'. I haven't been able to find the source though. I saved the image on my computer and opened it in Irfanview, and enlarged it, and to my mostly untrained eye, it appears to have been photoshopped, though some of the sentiments have been echoed by illegal aliens in past protests/rallies. Any FReepers out there with professional photoshop experience who can tell the difference? Thanks.

On Monday it will be fifteen years, we must never forget the cost of violence. She would be learning to drive right now...
