July 11, 2008, 0:00 a.m. Black-Hole SpeechThe will-to-power masquerades as tolerance. By Jonah Goldberg At a recent meeting of city officials in Dallas County, Texas, a small racial brouhaha broke out. County commissioners were hashing out difficulties with the way the central collections office handles traffic tickets. Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield found himself guilty of talking while white. He observed that the bureaucracy “has become a black hole� for lost paperwork. Fellow Commissioner John Wiley Price took great offense, shouting, “Excuse me!� That office, the black commissioner explained, has become a “white hole.� Seizing on the outrage, Judge Thomas Jones...

It is fact. It not hyperbole. It is reality. Barack Obama is like Adolf Hitler in that he daily supports killing mortals. These humans are defenseless babies in wombs. When the Supreme Court banned partial-birth abortion, Obama loudly proclaimed to the media that the Court move was "horrific." There is no reason to be polite regarding Obama's stance. One must be morally realistic. That calls for calling Obama what he actually is. He is a murderer. He kills. He is party to those who intentionally slay boys and girls. Therefore, Obama is like unto Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Idi...

DENVER (AP) ― Rep. Douglas Bruce was ordered to leave the podium of the Colorado House of Representatives on Monday after calling Mexican workers "illiterate peasants." Bruce, a Republican with a history of provoking controversy with his statements and actions, made the comment during a debate on a bill designed to ease a farmworker shortage in Colorado. It drew an audible gasp from the House. "How dare you," said Rep. Kathleen Curry, a Democrat who was serving as chairwoman during the debate. She told Bruce he was no longer recognized to speak. The bill under discussion would allow the state...

Hi, I am conservatism and mixed up about the requirements or the reason when it happens.

ARE YOU A COMMUNIST MR. BUSH? YES! I AM!!! This would be the answer if the question had been submitted before the collapse of Soviet Union! That does come out this conclusion for the current Prime Minister of U.S.A.? Simply Mr. Bush today, follows the vision of Stalin and Titos for taking territories from Greece following dance floor their dark drawing! The pseudonym state, nation and the language of Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was Stalin’s dream. Stalin and Tito they manufacture then in August 1944 this state "in the frames of Yugoslavian Federation. They rename from VARDARSKA in" Macedonia...

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The state Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of a functionally illiterate man who says the Kanawha County school system failed to provide him a proper education. An attorney for Thomas Sturm says that although Sturm was allowed to graduate from Sissonville High School in 2004, the 21-year-old man can read only on a third-grade level. The attorney, Mike Clifford, says the school board failed to abide by state and federal laws meant to monitor and protect the rights of students with disabilities. Sturm allegedly suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Kanawha County Judge...

Those who Divide Conservatives' Vote, provoking loss, will bear Heavy Responsibilities for ever ! (P.ex. in Va, etc) People will NEVER FORGET those who DIVIDE CONSERVATIVES' VOTE in 2008, stumb their fellow-conservatives in the back, risking to give an Artificial, Anti-Democratic Control of all DELEGATES to a Political MINORITY of Liberals, just by depriving of 1, 2 or 3 % those who dare Fight for Values and Principles able to lift Conservatives Banner", as US President GWBush recently said at the CPAC : - They had already done that earlier, but now, after seing the Consequences (a Liberal MINORITY of...

Seven years ago George bush and the republicans gave a tax cut to the wealthy. We had a recesion and as far as Im concerned we never recovered. I was working as a telemarketeer and my husband was at an assembly plant. In 2001 my husband was laid off after his job was outsourced. Then I lost my job too. My husband now works at Target and I held a job at Burger King. A week ago my job was terminated after buisness wasn't so well. Now were in another recession and Bush wants yet another tax cut? If cutting...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Before Bob Jansen can teach English to the adult immigrants in his lowest-level class, he has to show about a quarter of them how to hold a pencil. Adult education teachers like Jansen are finding themselves starting from scratch as uneducated immigrants and refugees from conflict regions of Africa and rural areas of Mexico and Central America flock to the United States. An estimated 400,000 legal and 350,000 illegal immigrants are unable to read or write even in their native language, according to a July 2007 report from the Migration Policy Institute, an independent Washington think...

PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President and Mrs. Bush spent the weekend in Washington where they attended the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner last night. The Washington Post described the President's appearance this way: The evening took a turn toward the somber when the President took the stage. After a videotaped message from David Letterman ("Top 10 George W. Bush Moments"), he said, "In light of this week's tragedy at Virginia Tech I've decided not to be funny." And with that he handed the lectern over to Rich Little. "I'm not here to make any political points," the veteran...

I was just glancing at the CBS News website and noticed a ridiculous mis-spelling on a piece of pure LIBERAL SPINach. Take a look at this and show a lefty friend. I thought for the longest time that you had to at least be literate to graduate from Journalism school ... ?

Sorry folks, but I can no longer lend my support to the War on Terror. I'm tired of being lied to by our elected leadership. What am I talking you about, you ask? Specifically, when I'm a told by the President of the United States, that Islam is a "Religion of Peace". How am I supposed to square that statement with reality? How am I supposed to support the decision and policies of our government in waging war when our leaders can't even begin to tell the truth about the enemy we're fighting? If the president fears he may offend...

AS THE FINAL credits rolled for Sofia Coppola's new candy-colored teen-dream film fantasy about history's most notorious poor little rich girl, "Marie-Antoinette," the audience at the Palais du Festival began to hiss like a box of snakes. And then they booed. Booing at the Cannes film festival, at a screening before an audience of a thousand international movie critics and film writers, is never a pleasant way for a director to start the day. While no one in the mob was shouting "Off with her head," the European press couldn't resist the pun. "At Cannes, Marie-Antoinette Guillotined," declared a 24-hour...

A northwest suburban high school board member seeks to ban seven books from classroom use because she thinks the profanity, depiction of graphic sex, and drug and abortion references in the literature are inappropriate for teenagers. Leslie Pinney admits she only read passages of the controversial selections, including Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five and Toni Morrison's Beloved, which were on the American Library Association's 100 most challenged books list between 1990 and 2000. But Pinney said perusing the questionable parts of the books made it clear they weren't suitable for children and should be taken off Township High School District 214's proposed...

Young Americans know little about world geography, with the majority unable to locate Iraq on a map and three quarters unable to find Indonesia, according to a study. The Roper poll conducted on behalf of National Geographic found that most of the young adults questioned between the ages of 18 and 24 also had little knowledge about their own country, with half or fewer unable to identify the states of New York or Ohio on a map. Moreover, the study said, many of those questioned were not bothered by their lack of geographic knowledge. "Half think it is 'important but...

In this war freedom should come first not after! In New Hampshire the Motto is Live free or Die! I don't need Bush spying on law abiding americans and taking our freedoms. Anyone who surrenders a square inch of freedom to the government in the name of saftey is a traitor and should be treated like one! Let the Bush Fashists all drop dead! Filthy Commys! LET FREEDOM RING!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

Killing many of th innocent does not uphold what the Constituion clearly wnats in severe regards. I don't want Ben Ladin to prevail in what is the most serious of kinds but doing the deeds of crminilaty my not work to the good advantage too. In 1932, said that no type of terror shouild work to stop the good. This may be true but I see Gitmo and Afghanistan over and abopve what the good in iraq will come and find a tough balnce to meet. We shall see.

George Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction. I quote, “We have known for years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing WMD’s. Iraq’s search for WMD’s has proven impossible to deter and we should assume it will continue as long as Saddam is in power. He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that demanded he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and...

<p>I just found this site and I'm chomping at the bit. There are these folks, you might have heard of them, that are fiscally conservative, believe in "little government" and individual rights. Call 'em Libertarians, Jefferson Republicans, bleah bleah bleah. They also believe...oh, shudder!....that govt. should NOT be in the biz of regulating morality...Don't tread on me...Do what you want; just don't hurt anyone else's chance of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...All that antiquated jazz...leave foreign folks be..etc. etc..</p>

Supreme Court confirmation battles usually involve excavations of the nominee's judicial opinions, legal briefs and decades-old government memos. Harriet Miers is the first nominee to hit trouble because of thank-you letters. Miers's paper trail may be relatively short, but it makes plain that her climb through Texas legal circles and into George W. Bush's inner circle was aided by a penchant for cheerful personal notes. Years later, even some of her supporters are cringing -- and her opponents are viciously making merry -- at the public disclosure of this correspondence and other writings from the 1990s. Bush may have enjoyed...

A friend recently said he believed that the war in Iraq was necessary because if we did not fight them there, we would have to fight them here. This defense of the war echoed the Bush administration and its echoes such as Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.Unfortunately, the "fight them in Baghdad now or Boston later" line is completely wrong.Saudi government and Israeli think-tank studies of the backgrounds of the foreigners entering Iraq show that these jihadists are not former terrorists but have been motivated by the war to fight what they see as the U.S. occupation of an Arab...

dude... like these arab dudes are always blowing themselves up man.

<p>The disaster efforts are a disaster itself.Why did it took 4 days of suffering four these people to get any aide till it was sent to them?It was now a week of this BS!!If Rudolf Guiliani is mayor he would've done it a better job than this.This was acceptable!! It's was partly to blame on both the Clinton and Bush administrations for cutbacks of the funds for to fix the leveys of New Orleans.I thought these folks would've had a better chance of survival if the leveys were fixed like they were supposed to.Instead,the money was rerouted to fight the Iraqi War and hailliburton!To hell with wars as far as I'm concerned.The evacuees of New Orleans,Mississippi and Alabama are more important than human life is more important right now.We've got people dropping dead out there and more to come man!This is a disaster of the bible's proportions and one that residents of Louisiana had feared for years would happen.There nightmare has now reached the fruition and their are still peeple in that god-forsaken superdome still waiting to get out of that cesspool,hellhole that is full of human boddies with the unbearable stench of dead bodies,human waste and mold.How the hell can the National Guard force the remaining 10,000 peeple to remain in such an environment?This is excusable!! They should let those people sleep outside in the open-air where it's much better than inside that disease-brewing superdome.What do they intend to do if a disease pandemic results from this?They obviously don't think about that.Somebody has to be accountable for the dead.If theier is people looting in the streets of New Orleans it's because they do that to survive.They are starving for Christ's sake.Do you blame them? What is wrong with looting?!?! When it comes down to stealing you gotta do what you gotta do to do-even if it means breaking some laws.There's still peaple in flooded areas still waiting to be saved.By the time help comes their way,more will be dead.There's no cents in rebuilding this town because it is built in a stupid way by 3 bodies of water.Who the hell in their right mind would want to take another chance and go back to that?So what if they rebuild the city.It's still in danger of being wiped out again of Katrina!Anyway,this is one big flop-up that will be on the minds of voters next election.Keep your eyes glued to the TV because more dead are on the way and it's all BUSH'S FAULT!</p>

HOUSTON- The reputed leader of a violent gang with roots in El Salvador was sentenced to seven months in prison Friday for illegally re-entering the country, U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg announced. Lester Rivera Paz, 29, of Honduras, is expected to be deported after completing his sentence. He has been in federal custody since his arrest in February near Falfurrias. He was indicted in March on one count of illegal entry into the United States after being deported. Rivera, who officials say has many aliases, including "El Culiche" or The Tapeworm, Eber Anibal Rivera Paz and Franklin Jairo Rivera-Hernandez, was the...

<p>I just heard that Bush and company is trying to pass a law that adds extra taxs to cheap beer like Milwaukee best and naturl light. He is going to raise the taxs on these bears by a nikel so he can recoop his money loses in the irag war. He and his old guys party the repitleublicans want to sock to the little guy and college guys like me who can only offord cheap bear and not the good stuff like all you chumps drink that sam adems and budwizer and coors lite and other big shot drinks. Give me a brake. Bush is not going to tax those bears because all his rich buddys drike them so he will tax all the people that didnt vote for him in the erection of 04. It is pay back for us not cow towing to his right wing aganda that only serves to destory the poor and working stifs like me and my mom and dad. So when I go to by some natey lite toniht with my fake id (scew the govement!!!) I will stock up and by maybe 3 or4 cases to hold me over so Bush won't be able to tax me and my bear and get himself out of that mess of a war in the muddle east. If I were you I would do the same and show Bush and his company of hooligans that we can't be taxed and tricked like little cirus animals that are beaten to dance and do tricks for use humans. Have a good day and don't let them know your on to them, that you know that they are trying to keep us down. Slowly now slowly we turn the tide!!!!</p>

US Court Rejects Appeal on Ban on Sex Toy Sale WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) rejected on Tuesday a constitutional challenge to an Alabama law that makes it a crime to sell sex toys. The high court refused to hear an appeal by a group of individuals who regularly use sexual devices and by two vendors who argued the case raised important issues about the scope of the constitutional right to sexual privacy. The law prohibited the distribution of "any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs."...

Putin: Ally or Terrorist? by William F. Jasper Counting Vladimir Putin as an ally against terrorism ignores his career in the murderous KGB/FSB and his ongoing support for terrorist regimes and organizations. ‘‘Lena Goncharuk, aged 38, said that she was the only one to survive out of a group of six who were ordered out of the cellar where they had been hiding and shot at point blank range. Resting in her hospital bed, her voice barely rising above a whisper, she said she had survived only by pretending to be dead." So reported Paul Wood from the Chechen border...
