Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack this afternoon took responsibility for firing an official, Shirley Sherrod, whose appearance on video recalling her behavior toward a white farmer drew charges of racism, and whose immediate firing drew suggestions that the administration had over-reacted to an edited video clip. A White House official told me just now that the White House backs Vilsack's decision -- but that it was Vilsack's alone. The official said the White House -- contrary to the Sherrod's charge -- did not pressure the Department to fire her. Vilsack's statement: Yesterday, I asked for and accepted Ms. Sherrod’s resignation for...

(But) the suffering generated by the reign of Obama is unnecessary and uncalled for, as any short examination will reveal: The Economy - Obama has made the same errors as FDR in his first term, without FDR's charm and earnestness to make up for it. Without even grasping that they were errors, for that matter. Of course, giving most of the stimulus money to the same financial industry that kicked off the crash was a brilliant ploy. We have to admit that worked. The Border - A state under siege attempts to reimpose order through accepted legal means, and Obama's...

Jonathan Strong explained "Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage." Stephanopoulos...

7 anti-Apple cliches that need to dieby Chris Rawson (RSS feed) on May 29th 2010 at 8:30PMPC vs. Mac flamewars are older than the web itself, but it seems like the more popular/successful Apple gets, the more heated the argument gets on both sides. Almost any debate about the relative merits of one platform or another is guaranteed to degenerate into an all-out shouting match. In the midst of all the fighting and name calling, the oddest thing happens: almost every time, you'll see a lot of the same points being raised by both sides again and again. Some of...

THE DEMOCRATIC National Committee won't officially elect its next chairman until Feb. 12, so Howard Dean doesn't have the job wrapped up just yet. But the Association of State Democratic Chairs endorsed him this week, and two of the five other candidates for the position have since dropped out. Clearly, the Democratic chairmanship is now Dean's to lose. And that should have reasonable Democrats worried, because their party's ills aren't going to get better with the medicine Dr. Dean is prescribing. As governor of Vermont, Dean was regarded as a budget-balancing, gun-owner-friendly centrist. As a candidate for president, he turned...

The democrats pick one talking point and parrot it to attempt to discredit the Conservatives. Example, their latest attempt is that Insurance companies are organizing the grassroots townhall demonstrations. They get the word out and everyone parrots it to every media outlet and eventually it starts to sink in. I suggest the following; Who do the Democrats what you to Hate this week? Oil Companies? Insurance Companies? Car Companies? Doctors? Grandpa and Grandma? Tie these folks down to the "Party of Hate" that they are.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7gPC97zT68 Mean things that they shout at you. Let fools rage and let 'em stew. That's the worse that they can do. Deep inside their hearts are hallow. Critics who won't run the race Want to put you in your place. Cowards who can't keep your pace: Never born to lead but follow. Lift your chin and walk on by. Let the hungry vampires die. As you flourish, they will cry. In self pity, they must wallow.

Spread this one everywhere you can.

Let the dead bury Michael Jackson "… And let the dead bury the dead." –Matthew 8:22 Michael Joseph Jackson won 13 Grammies and sold more than 750 million records worldwide over the span of four decades. This same person also exhibited bizarre behavior and faced child sexual abuse allegations. Yet, Rev. Al Sharpton, Michael's entertainer friends, and the major TV networks covered up this dark side at Michael's memorial and elevated him to hero status. The so-called memorial was about unrealistically lifting up a black Michael as the "king" in order to lift up blacks, and, in so doing, lowering...

The news junkies can't get enough of her NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Sarah Palin is the most fascinating politician of her time. Sure, Barack Obama is the most accomplished and respected but news junkies can't get enough of Palin, love or hate her. She is a lightning rod. The left loves to mock her as a buffoon. In the New York Times, Maureen Dowd dubbed Palin as "Caribou Barbie." Palin has to expect coverage like that in the Times , the darling of the Eastern establishment elite. She has mastered the art of using the media to divide and conquer...

WISE Updated 7:17 PM EDT, Mon, Jun 15, 2009 Related Topics:David Letterman It's not clear if tomorrow's rally will be considered a stupid human trick, but those interested in seeing late-night TV legend David Letterman get fired are urged to show up at the Ed Sullivan Theater for Tuesday's taping.

Letterman made cracks about the Alaska governor's daughter, prompting an argument over the airwaves that lasted several days. David Letterman directly apologized to Palin...

SAN FRANCISCO -- The American Civil Liberties Union on Wednesday threatened to sue a San Diego County school that refused to let a student present a report on slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk until her classmates got their parents' permission to hear it. David Blair-Loy, legal director of the ACLU of San Diego County, said the principal of Mt. Woodson Elementary School in Ramona violated the free speech rights of 6th-grader Natalie Jones, who was the only student in her class prevented from giving an in-class presentation. Principal Theresa Grace concluded last month that the subject of the girl's...

Today being the official end for another year of Israeli Apartheid Week, let's address the absurd lament from its enthusiasts that you can't criticize Israel today without being labelled an anti-Semite. Bull. First, let's dispense with "anti-Semite" -- a confusing term since Arabs can be Semites and many Jews aren't. Instead, let's call it what it is -- "Jew hatred." So, can people criticize Israel without being accused of Jew hatred? Of course.

Video description: As the nation welcomes Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States, one three-year-old looks back fondly on George W. Bush's tenure as Commander in Chief. ----- I can't believe that someone would brain wash this little girl. It is sad and wrong. It's even sadder that the momlogic site would put a video up about it. If you don't mind make a comment against the video. If you don't mind go to the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page and give them a ear full in an email. Thanks, Roland

Washington, DC—Today the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), America’s Voice, Center for New Community, and the Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM) launched a print ad denouncing known hate group, FAIR (the Federation for American Immigration Reform), for poisoning the immigration debate with bigoted, xenophobic hate speech. In support of the ad, SEIU Executive Vice President Eliseo Medina issued the following statement: “It’s time that everyone learns who FAIR’s founders, leaders and followers truly are. They are not reformers, but a group of extremists whose leaders are fostering a bigoted, anti-immigrant, anti-American agenda that we must stop.” “We will not allow...
