Witnesses say it was an image of President Barack Obama with a rope around his neck and the display was found hanging in one of the city's most recognizable sites dedicated to former President Jimmy Carter.A few people were able to snap pictures of the black doll before it was taken down. The doll was hanging on a building on Main Street in Plains."I saw this stuffed thing hanging up," said Alonzo Davis, Plains...

Sheehan said "the CIA is becoming overly involved in terrorizing populations." Sheehan joins a powerhouse of women activists to lead the CIA Drone Protest, including Cynthia McKinney, Ann Wright, Kathy Kelly and Debra Sweet. "We had an event with over 250 confirmed guests and it was deleted by Facebook," Sheehan said. "We are going to the source of one of the big problems in the US Empire -- the CIA -- to protest its extra-judicial killings of people in Pakistan....

It is too unstable." Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., a member of the Homeland Security Committee, said Sunday that officials should review the transfers.

Illinois doctors performed 47,717 abortions, the most in five years. The state Department of Public Health reported 47,717 abortions in 2008, the latest year for which it has figures. In 1998, there were 49,403. There is a law on the books that could bring this number down, of course, but extreme leftists and infanticide fans in the state have stalled its implementation over and over again.

Today they announced a very rational thought. Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast last week confirmed reports that John Kerry has filed a request for visiting Tehran. Since Kerry is part of our legislature the matter was transferred to Iran's Parliament. Iran's parliament announced today that they wanted no part of Senator Kerry.

The article then goes on to mention Timothy McVeigh, whose terrorist act was not inspired by his religion. More Christians need to start doing their own research and educate themselves to the fact that Islam is a religion of war, and Muslims are encouraged to lie to defend it. Christians involved in interfaith talks with Muslims also need to ask themselves one question. Where is the major Muslim movement against the persecution of Christians across the Islamic world?

In Minnesota, District Judge Kathleen Gearin directed state Governor Tim Pawlenty (R) to reinstate cuts he had made to a food distribution program, calling the Governor’s actions “callous and immoral.” “At a time of high unemployment it is exceedingly cruel for a state official to be denying people access to the food they need to live,” Gearin said. “This is especially the case when it is obvious that the government has not maximized...

Lots of lazy assumptions are being put to rest this century. The assumption that electing a “Black” President will eliminate America’s racial tensions. The assumption that the scientific establishment is only interested in truth. Climategate! The assumption that more education will lead to wiser, more intelligent, people. And the assumption that the people of the world are moving from a tribal, superstitious, religion-ridden model to an accepting, multicultural, atheist-rationalist way of thinking. So why was Abdulfarouk Umar Muttalab trying to kill people for religious, tribal and cultural reasons while (in...

I put quotes around the word “try” because we are assured that no matter what the court’s decision is, he will not be released. If so, we have the interesting spectacle of the beginning of high profile show trials in the US; one in which the punishment...

Like during the campaign he threw his grandma under the bus, or when his economic adviser went to Canada to reassure the government that the Senator's bravado about NAFTA was just for effect, Obama said the campaign worker was operating on his own. After his election the Obama blame-game continued. All the problems with the world could be blamed on President Bush, Rush Limbaugh,The Republican Party, Chrysler's evil investors, Wall Street, The Insurance Lobby, Fox News, Israel's Settlements...

When we breakdown their figure into different groups, this is what we got: *10 million of the uninsured are illegal immigrants. *18 million people have a household income of over $50000 per year. *More than half of them have a household income of over $75000 per year. *14 million of the uninsured qualify for some kind of government insurance, they just haven’t applied yet.
