Vote in Our Poll: What's Your Top 2010 Issue?

Good video if you've not seen it yet: Naomi Wolf on the attraction of Sarah Palin: "She's really articulating a Conservative Feminism, more clearly than any conservative woman has ever done. We're so used to seeing feminism hijacked by the left...the assumption is if you're a feminist, you're pro-choice, you're secular, you believe in big government."

DISGUSTING: Despite legislation passed by Congress to make it possible to sue foreign governments that sponsor terrorism, in a filing in federal court, the Justice Department is arguing that giving the money to the victims "can have significant, detrimental impact on our foreign relations, as well as the reciprocal treatment of the United States and its extensive overseas property holdings."

A very funny comedy webcast about the news of the day! -- GOP leading in generic ballot polls -- Senate increases unemployment benefits -- Gov. Perry: America headed towards socialism -- Fidel Castro approves of Obama -- Obama as Frankenstein -- Layoffs at Al Gore's 'Current TV' -- Sammy Sosa getting whiter

Fort Bragg wanted to bar reporters from the book signing. Garrison Commander Col. Stephen J. Sicinski determined that by keeping out the media, the base would prevent Palin, a Republican and possible candidate in 2012, from having a platform from which to attack President Barack Obama, a Democrat. "Fort Bragg, nor any other Army installation, cannot be used or appear to be used as endorsing criticism of the commander in chief," said base spokesman Thomas D. McCollum. "Because this book signing is turning into a political platform with the addition of media coverage, we are restricting the media coverage." But...

IN THEIR MIDST Something to ponder: Shooting suspect Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was once an active part of the local academic community of national security advisers and insiders. Maj. Hasan was a "participant" in George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute's Presidential Transition Task Force, which organized a quartet of forums from October 2008 to January

Apparently some depraved losers have decided to use scripture to express their contempt for President Obama. It's not cute. It's not funny. It's far from an appropriate understanding or use of the text. I don't agree with President Obama on almost anything, but I would never wish any harm to come to him or his family. No decent person, certainly no true Christian, would either. For all my criticisms of President Obama, House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid, I always say that the way we change things is through elections in 2010 and 2012. May no harm come...

If these two vids have already been posted, I apologize. I saw links to other YouTube vids, but not these.

DO NOT VOTE FOR EDMUND BROWN While ACORN is under investigation in many states, California's Attorney General, Jerry Brown (who will be running for CA governor), thinks that the fault will be found, not with ACORN, but with the people that filmed the undercover video! Attorney General Brown has gone as far as to tell ACORN not to worry. So much for investigating the supposed target of the investigation – ACORN – not to mention that it should be well beyond suspicious that an investigative unit of the government would tell an entity under investigation, i.e. ACORN, what will be...

I'm usually adept at catching the embedded politics, in tv and movies, and I usually change the station or turn it off when I do. Tonight was the first time, and I was taken aback by it, that I discerned such tactics in the series "Bones"

Elisabeth does not dissapoint! Part 2 of 2 follows.

What is CNN talking about in this video? I think they are from a different planet. Of course people are upset about what is going on. CNN makes mention of some genius's comment "They are exploiting false rumors found on fringe websites". Is Fox News a fringe website? Are the everyday hard working Americans who are protesting fringe now? Why doesn't CNN just report it like it is? Why don't they just say "Obviously enough people are concerned for their safety, and a group called the Oath Keepers has popped up because of this"? Why didn't they play the entire...

Governor Palin on O'Reilly (Foxnews Nov 20 2009) Parts 1 & 2

With the increasingly discredited notion of man-made global warming crashing and burning on a daily basis, climate alarmists are being forced to accelerate their fearmongering to unprecedented levels. With the evidence failing to match up to the doomsday proclamations, Al Gore has turned to photoshop in order to make a CO2-choked earth look scary enough to sell his cap and trade scam.

Terrorism Typology for Consequence Managers: Identified, Explained, and Redesigned Rarely can terrorism’s definition and categories fit into one package suitable to all law enforcement agents, investigators, consequence managers (CM), and academics. This paper makes no pretense to be an exception. Rather, by narrowing this paper’s scope to functionality of CM, I propose this thesis. Consequence managers need to understand past terrorist global patterns to discover future trends for the purpose of aligning the right policies and strategies within prevention measures. My paper uncovers evidence supporting this thesis within a two-fold layout. First, this paper describes and interprets variations in terrorism...

It's a conspiracy, for goodness sake. Imagine if they tried to pull this fascist garbage with Bush (remember the call of the Democrats? Buck Fush!). Army fears anti-Obama politics at Palin event Yahoo.com hat tip Pamela RALEIGH, N.C. – The U.S. Army plans to prevent media from covering Sarah Palin's appearance at Fort Bragg, fearing the event will turn into political grandstanding against President Barack Obama, officials said Thursday. Fort Bragg spokesman Tom McCollum told The Associated Press that the military post's garrison commander and other Army officials had decided to keep media away from Palin's book signing, which will...

Lawmaker decries U.S. demand to halt Jewish construction - JERUSALEM – A member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party today slammed as "racist" President Obama's longstanding demand for a halt to Jewish construction in the strategic West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem. "President Obama should not interfere with the rights of the Jewish people to live in Jerusalem," said Likud Knesset Member Danny Danon. "This ... is a racist demand, saying that Jews cannot live in Jerusalem, only Arabs." Danon continued: "Our duty is to the nation that chose to deepen the settlement across Judea and Samaria, and...

Rush Limbaugh on Friday received a call from a couple who attended the Tampa Townhall meeting. This is that Rush call voiced over a YouTube video of the event.

In an interview with CNN in China, President Obama opened the possibility to not running for re-election in 2012 -- something that no president has done since Lyndon Johnson. Here's what he said: "You know, if - if I feel like I've made the very best decisions for the American people and three years from now I look at it and, you know, my poll numbers are in the tank and because we've gone through these wrenching changes, you know, politically, I'm in a tough spot, I'll - I'll feel all right about myself," Obama told CNN's Ed Henry. "I...

I’ve read some misguided partisan ranting before, but the piece, “Gone Rogue” (how original) by Newsweek’s Evan Thomas is in a class by itself. That it passes for a news story is telling of how detached the elitists in media really are. Nothing exceptionally newsworthy is going on (a book tour!), yet we are witnessing a foaming hysteria from all fronts of the liberal establishment. And, we must ask: Why? Sarah Palin is merely promoting her book. The degree to which the left fears Palin is astonishing. The former governor isn’t even talking about running for office and yet Newsweek...

I've prepared a visual of the flood of Sarah Palin knock-off books coming out today. Too bad they'll never find a "bad" picture of Sarah. I'm sure the MSM's are desperately looking for one!

Have you ever seen so much hatred for, and vitriolic criticism of, someone who had only a brief stint on the national political stage? More than a year after the presidential election in which Sarah Palin, as the GOP nominee for Vice-President, campaigned for about three months, she is still being pilloried by the left-wing loons as though she had been elected and were actively engaged in dismantling the liberal establishment. Not a day goes by in which we don't hear or read vicious attacks on a woman who represents the wholesome conservative values of Middle America -- values that...

Mounting evidence that independent voters have soured on the Democrats is prompting a debate among party officials about what rhetorical and substantive changes are needed to halt the damage.

Barack Obama was supposed to be America's answer to the suave, European head of state. A debonair gentleman of the world, he would charm even the most sophisticated foreign leaders and prove, finally, that the United States is developed culturally, not just economically.

“There’s a mountain of academic works that have slapped around ‘Cash for Clunkers’…. This is one of the worst government programs in modern history.”

Yes, it’s true! I am a news junkie, the need to look at the news and discuss politics is an intrinsic part of my mental makeup. Just like one needs the morning cuppa Java I need to look at, think and talk about the news. Having said that, however, I do have a few other very strong interests and, in any case, one has to take a break every once in a while, otherwise the ugly political realities can make you crack up!

The "pink slips" being sent to members of Congress, warning them to abandon Washington's "charge-it-and-spend-it" programs, new energy taxes under "cap-and-trade" and nationalized health care have surged past five million, but supporters of the program say they need to keep coming. Janet Porter, founder and president of Faith2Action, is one of the organizers behind the "pink slips" campaign and was at a news conference today in Washington where U.S. Reps Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn.; Louie Gohmert, R-Texas; Steve King, R-Iowa, and Trent Franks, R-Ariz., spoke in approval of the effort. She said it's clear the message – delivered through a stack...

Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Silvestre Reyes (D-TX) issued the following statement regarding the postponement of a full Committee briefing on information related to the Fort Hood shooting: Here's the full text: "Due to the high visibility of the issues surrounding the tragic event at Fort Hood, the President has instructed the National Security Council to assume control of all informational briefings.

Wow, for somebody who's supposed to be such a political joke, an Arctic ditz and eminently dismissable as a serious anything except maybe a stay-at-home hockey mom, Sarah Palin is sure drawing an awful lot of attention from Democrats and eager critics.

Video: Including my personal favorite pundit....S.E. Cupp!

2008 (yes, 2008) internet advertisement by the "Our Country Deserves Better Committee" highlighting the fact that the Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, has MORE executive experience than the Democrat's Presidential candidate, Barack Obama! Of course, a 5th grader could tell you this. Nonetheless it is a well produced video and reminds us yet again of what the left refused to see just one short ago!

Once upon a time there was a frog that lived on the riverbank. Life was good. The frog was full and happy; he worked hard all day catching flies. His life was satisfying. One day a scorpion came up to the frog and told him of the wonders that wait for him on the other side of the river. At first the frog was skeptical, and a little afraid of the deadly scorpion, but then she began to whisper gently to the frog, “I have heard that on the other side there are bugs so fat and juicy they can...
