Obama used this list to e-mail a press release concerning National Hunting and Fishing Day.Earlier today, NSSF sent a “cease and desist” letter to the Obama campaign demanding that they immediately stop any further unauthorized misuse of its...

Lawyers for the Department of Energy contend the lawsuit filed by Egyptian-born scientist Abdel Moniem Ali El-Ganayni is an effort to publicize the security review process, which could pose a threat to the U.S. The American Civil Liberties Union helped El-Ganayni sue this year, saying he was wrongly fired for...

This is a very revealing action for CAIR to take. It reveals in particular two key aspects of CAIR's mindset: 1.

It wasn’t hard to do. With gasoline prices hovering around four dollars a gallon, combined with the self-induced but limited financial crisis created by proprietary lenders and a healthcare system that’s being raped by grifting lawyers and robber-baron insurance companies, it is easy to understand why voters would fall prey to diversionary tactics of the political power seekers.

The fact that the mainstream media is even remotely surprised at a Communist Government not allowing complete freedom of the press is laughable, irrespective of the fact that China promised them complete freedom to report on the events after this one party state was awarded the honor of hosting the Olympics.

To understand how Obama views this country and how he approaches politics, one must understand the influence of Saul Alinsky on today’s left. In 1990 Obama wrote a chapter for a book called; After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois, published by University of Illinois. His contribution, Why Organize? Problems and Promise in the Inner City, was the high-minded fluff of an idealistic student and in the years since proven to be as inaccurate as it was naïve, but it articulates the ideal progressive community organizers work...
