I just heard a caller on the Rush Limbaugh show who claimed to have been studying the phenomenon of Sarah Hatred among women. Her observation is that Sarah is a "10", and that the women who hate her do so out of jealousy because they are "8"s or under, including the Republican women who hate Sarah, because they are women first and Republicans second. Sarah has it all and women hate women who have it all. If Sarah were frumpy and had cankles like another well-known female politician, they might not hate her. She also said that Sarah has machismo,...

Time to React! By Ari Bussel There was a barrage of e-mails after Obama’s and Netanyahu’s speeches, what should Israel do, what should the USA do? Some warned Israel’s supporters that action is necessary for Israel cannot survive Obama. Others still use the recent speeches against Israel, blaming her for the fact that peace remains elusive after 63 years. The President will remain in office for another year and a half. The Prime Minister’s coalition government also seems stable enough. Even in the Israeli political sandbox, it is likely to withstand any mishaps or votes to break it down. Thus,...

After months of planning and preparations, the program for the 2011 meeting of the Mormon History Association, to be held at the well-appointed Dixie Center in St. George, Utah, is now set. Not only will we bask in the sun-splashed beauty of southern Utah, but we look forward to hearing from a terrific lineup of speakers and panels about the latest in Mormon history scholarship. SNIP Sandwiched between these terrific plenary sessions are six concurrent sessions on Friday and Saturday. You can find a complete listing of papers and presenters in the preliminary program on the MHA 2011 conference website....

Ignorance, hatred, and meanness of spirit. DUmmie Family Values? No, this is what DUmmie Cyrano says America is like under our fascist overlords with their ready supply of mindless drones. It is only the superior advanced state of enlightened progressives that keeps our country from being a complete hellhole. But it is hanging by a thread. As we see in *this* THREAD, "Ignorance, hatred, and meanness of spirit." So let us see what Cyrano du Brainiac and the rest of the highly evolved DUmmies have to say, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles...

Days ago in Egypt, throngs of Muslims (henceforth, "Islamists"), estimated at 3,000, fired guns and rifles and hurled Molotov cocktails at Coptic churches, homes, and businesses in the Imbaba region near Cairo: twelve Christians were killed -- some shot by snipers atop rooftops — 232 injured; three churches were set aflame to cries of "Allahu Akbar," while Coptic homes were looted and torched. ...

... The threat of extermination is not empty. Since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, more than half the country's Christian population has been forced by targeted violence to seek refuge abroad or to live away from their homes as internally displaced people. According to the Hammurabi Human Rights Organization, over 700 Christians, including bishops and priests, have been killed and 61 churches have been bombed. Seven years after the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Catholic Archbishop Louis Sako of Kirkuk reports: "He who is not a Muslim in Iraq is a second-class citizen. Often it is necessary to convert...

... the dubious excuse used to justify this latest barbarous outburst -- "desecration of the Koran" -- is a reminder of the double-standards Bibles suffer in the Islamic world, where they are routinely confiscated and burned. Indeed, even as Muslim Ethiopians were rampaging, Muslim nations hailed as being "moderate" -- Malaysia and Bangladesh -- also made headlines last week with their deplorable treatment of Christians and Bibles. Worse, the West helps standardize such a biased approach: the U.S. government -- Obama, Hillary, and any number of other grandstanding politicians -- rose up in condemnation when a virtually anonymous, small-town pastor...

... Taking aim at the ubiquitous political zeitgeist that views the Palestinians as a nation of oppressed refugees, Mr. Horowitz intoned, "No people have shown themselves as so morally sick as the Palestinians", adding that, "In the history of all mankind, there was never a people who strapped bombs on their bodies and killed innocent people. No other people have sunk so low as the Palestinians and everyone is afraid to say it." Describing Islam as a religion possessed by "hate, violence and racism", he said that a resolution to the protracted Israeli-Palestinian imbroglio could is not beyond reach. "If...

Faith Without Works? Do Calvinists Actually Read the Christian Bible? Is anyone as mystified as I am at this contradictory and unbiblical Calvinist “Sola Fide” idea that faith without works is sufficient for salvation? How can Calvinists reject James Chapter 2 which states that; “What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?” (James 2:14) and "Faith without works is dead" (James 2:26). To do so is antithetical to Scripture. The Calvinist rejection of James is at best substitutional, permitting Calvinists to conclude that works naturally follow...

Wisconsin union protesters hold up “O’Reilly is sex predator” sign, shout “Fox lies.” Another day of Democrat-voting union people protesting in Wisconsin, another day of hatred and slurs hurled against Fox News Channel. Yesterday was yet another day of union people acting like a bunch of rioters, all because they’re finally being asked to pay just a little bit of their fair share to help the state budget. Fox News reporter Mike Tobin was right among the crowd, trying to get the perspective of some who appeared to have legitimate reasons for protesting. However, every time Fox News broadcasts a...

"Here's the latest evidence that nothing has changed in post-Tucson America..." Writes Justin Elliott in Salon: A person at a Tuesday town hall with Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., got up and asked, "Who is going to shoot President Obama?" The exact wording of the question is not clear because, the Athens Banner-Herald reports, there was a lot of noise at the event. If you don't know the "exact wording," why do you have some words in quotes? This non-quote has gone viral in the leftosphere, the leftosphere where no one seems to mind all the violent and over-the-top language and...

TWO Muslim protesters set fire to giant poppies at the end of a two-minute silence on Armistice Day as a crowd chanted “British soldiers burn in hell”, a court heard yesterday. Mohammed Haque, 30, and Emdadur Choudhury, 26, were at the demonstration by Muslims Against Crusaders near the end of a charity walk for service personnel. Haque and Choudhury were filmed unfurling plastic poppies and burning them at the end of a silence close to London’s Royal Albert Hall on November 11 last year, the court heard.

Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, an elected leader entrusted with preserving the rights of the innocent regardless of party affiliation, has made it clear he is unable to carry out his duties in an unbiased manner. Nor is this the first time he has shown himself unable to set politics aside in the performance of his duty. When Arizona passed the bill dealing with illegal immigration, he refused to enforce the law. Now he has claimed that the vitriol of political discourse from Conservatives on radio and television and from the Tea Party led to 19 people being shot, six of them...

Yesterday, I wrote that the recent controversial legislation at the Knesset would likely result in a full-fledged freak-out from the left over Israel’s supposed slide toward totalitarianism, and this morning Time magazine didn’t disappoint. How bad is it? Let’s just say that Time might as well save the money it spends on its Jerusalem-bureau reporters by publishing full press releases from the Elders instead. The article, titled “Israel’s Rightward Lurch Scares Even Some Conservatives,” is packed full of misinformation and outright contempt for the Jewish state. The online version also includes links to alleged atrocities committed by Israel — i.e.,...

So Im in the middel of a debate between a group of left wing commies Very hard core I might add. The debate was touched off after a friend of mine from California who was a homeschooling mother of 3 kids came under attack by the commies. It was started off by an evil woman named vampiressontheprowlq who is known for calling freedom a form of fascism and advocating the destruction of America on youtube with her girlfriend and lover. Here are some excerpts of the filth I have recieved... Ray Bradbury wrote "Fahrenheit 451", from fresh thoughts in his...

I had just published an article yesterday entitled, "Google Bans Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) From YouTube: Net Neutrality?" Many other bloggers and passionate supporters of Israel also took action. This morning, I received an email from PMW stating: PMW wants to personally thank our subscribers and supporters. In response to your many actions - your emails to You Tube, your blogs, tweets, op-eds, and calls to Google - as of this morning the YouTube "Palwatch" account is once again functional. Just why did Google close PMW's account? I'm sure the answer is obvious to most of you, but the Jerusalem...

ST. LOUIS • Chief Dan Isom said today's shooting of four people at a St. Louis funeral home is the product "of an ongoing feud between gangs in St. Louis." Isom said conditions of the four victims are unknown. The funeral, at Reliable Funeral Home, in the 3900 block of Washington Boulevard, was for homicide victim David Terell Davis Sr. A woman who declined to give her name said she was attending the funeral when she heard loud gunshots. "Everybody started running," she said. The woman said she heard about eight shots outside the funeral home. Isom said he's not...

Children in Islamic schools are being taught antisemitic and homophobic views from textbooks, the BBC's Panorama will claim tonight. A textbook used in some weekend schools reportedly asks children to list the "reprehensible" qualities of Jews, according to the programme. It claims to have found 5,000 Muslim schoolchildren being taught that some Jews are transformed into pigs and apes and that the penalty for gay sex is execution. Some textbooks are said to teach the correct way to chop off the hands and feet of thieves. A spokesman for the programme said the pupils, aged six to 18, attend a...

Once again, Israel's "peace partner," the Palestinian Authority, talks "peace" to Westerners, but poisons the minds of its own people with the vilest hatred via state-controlled TV. A little Palestinian girl told PA TV, "I say that he [Arafat] died from poisoning by the Jews." (Watch her). She doesn't know that Yasser Arafat, the monster, led her ancestors -- his and her people -- from one disaster to another, from the failed and suicidal takeover of Jordan ("Black September"), to destroying Lebanon, to his "recognition" of Israel during the Oslo debacle, and in July 2000 his rejection of Israel's generous...

The National Council of Young Israel (NCYI) has condemned a U.S. State Department report that criticizes Israel for alleged religious discrimination against non-Jews and non-Orthodox Jews. The report put Israel in the same category as Afghanistan, China, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iran in terms of religious freedom. "Although Israel was established as a Jewish State in 1948, it has spent the past six decades actively encouraging and facilitating freedom of religion for all of its citizens," said NCYI President Shlomo Mostofsky. "Equating Israel, the United States' sole democratic ally in the Middle East region, with rogue nations that actively suppress...
