I don’t write many vanities but I feel it necessary to write this one. I am ticked off!!! I’m ticked off at the ignorance and arrogance of the Conservatives and their unwillingness and/or inability to fight back against the Lame Stream Media, Rats, RINOs and Faux Conservatives. For years now we have had to endure the establishment, in concert with the MSM, Rats, RINOs and Faux Conservatives, picking our side for us and then every time we have candidates we support then they are blocked, mocked, ridiculed and slandered. While many Real Conservatives may not support Newt for many justifiable...

From the Tractates on the first letter of John by Saint Augustine, bishop We have been promised that we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. By these words, the tongue has done its best; now we must apply the meditation of the heart. Although they are the words of Saint John, what are they in comparison with the divine reality?

There are things Danny White really loves. The Redskins. His red Chevy Avalanche. And a good joke. “Just having fun!” he says with a laugh. Twenty-five years ago, Danny wanted to have a little fun with his vanity plate, a DC license plate that reads “NO-TAGS.” People, he says, “See my tag. ‘Oh! You from D.C.! I like your tag!’” Well, almost everyone. Advertise | AdChoices“D.C. don’t get the joke,” he says, shaking his head. “They don’t get it.” Because now, the joke is on him. “I’ve got enough tickets here to plaster my whole car.” Three hundred dollars, $500,...

I've had it, after 55 years, with the Catholic Church. No more of my money for these people. Every homily is like an Obama campaign speech. Hiding the homosexual scandal, promoting Obama Care........ on & on. Is there a conservative alternative? Orthodox Church maybe? Never been to one but I'm ready to switch.

For many months now, Newt Gingrich has been preaching "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less", in talking about developing more and more US energy resources especially oil and gas. He is pushing specifics about off-shore, Alaska, Canadian Keystone Pipeline, horizontal shale drilling, etc. With the poor jobs situation and gasoline costs climbing to $4.00 per gallon, Newt has a goal of $2.00 gasoline, which we can achieve with aggressive domestic oil development. Newt is a leader who could make $2.00 gasoline a reality by facilitating domestic supply. Again, Romney and Santorum are vague and timid about this subject.

Two of the past four months I have not received my Visa bill in the mail. A week and a half ago I called Visa and they said they would send out a copy of my statement to me. It still isn't here. So today I called my local Post Office and told this story to the guy that answered the phone. "Not us," he said. When I asked him how he knew this, he asked me if I was receiving other things that were mailed to me. When I told him that I had no way of knowing who...

The active page has been pulled, but here is a screenshot of an earlier Politico report. The reporter claims that President Obama is showing his support of unions by flying a flag representing Wisconsin Local #1848.Sorry, lady. That is Wisconsin's State Flag.Donovan Slack is listed as Politico's "lead writer for '44', a living diary of the Obama presidency."

For those who didn't hear, an unidentified man was rushed from the White House yesterday in an ambulance. He was expected to lose one or two fingers in a detail-free amputation. The White House immediately tried to downplay the incident without giving any additional information. They insisted that "the injury was minor and an ambulance was called out of an abundance of caution." Only an "abundance of caution" necessitated the ambulance for the amputation of two fingers? I guess Lefty was pretty low on the WH totem pole. That's it. As far as I know, that is the end of...

Tell Congress to Support Conscience Protections Send Letters to Congress 13,580 Letters Sent So Far H.R. 1179 Respect for Rights of Conscience Act It is well known the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) forces health care plans to provide coverage of abortion and use our tax dollars to pay for abortion. In addition, PPACA does not protect the conscience rights of health care insurers, providers, and personnel who decline to provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions. On February 18, 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services used its regulatory power to remove what...

There is a political landmine in our Constitution. As with the real thing, which can lie dormant for many decades and eventually kill non-combatants, Article II Section 3 grants a power that could unintentionally injure our liberties 220+ years later. No American President has exercised this power.1 However, for a president hostile to our traditions, who invokes the Constitution when it serves his purpose and ignores it when it does not, this potentially explosive clause could, under certain circumstances provide the legal basis for one man rule. From Article II Section 3: “ . . . and in Case of...

General Electric Antares Group living BIG at Beaver Creek Resort with private ski instructors at $745 USD a day for EACH PRIVATE INSTRUCTOR! (Not what the teachers make, that's what the ski school gets to rent a private instructor for ONE DAY.) They are getting private race coaching and rented the NASTAR Race Course for most of today. Private racing for GE HONCHOS! After he passed on this information I went to NASTAR.com and found the race, complete with names. I wasn't sure everyone on the list was connected with GE Antares because there are a bunch of Colorado addresses....

Just before Thanksgiving, Obama's approval was somewhere in the lower 40s. All of our candidates looked within range to defeat him. This was our election to lose. Now I feel like the wind is in our face and we are backed up inside the two yardline. Is it the quality of our candidates ? The best speeches of the year so far were delivered by a former Governor of Alaska (whom I adore and wanted to run) and a British member of the EU Parliment. That is not a good sign. The economy is not that much better. People live...

Was anyone watching just now? Two women tried to jump in the ring just as they got the dogs in, were grabbed and screaming. Kudos to great security.

Today is the LAST DAY for public comment on the Clinic Safety bill, signed by Gov. McDonnell, to provide SOME level of regulation. Planned Parenthood has been sending emails to their minions and right now, the comments are 20 to 1 for the pro-abortion view. Please go to this site and enter CLINIC SAFETY STANDARDS as the subject, leave a message SUPPORTING the clinic safety bill that Gov. McDonnell signed. http://townhall.virginia.gov/L/Comments.cfm?stageid=6006 Prior to this, abortion clinics had very little regulation, the same as vet offices. Women have died in Virginia abortion clinics, when there is an emergency in the past,...

It's tough keeping up with the propaganda machine of the old Soviet empire. They went underground but have now been found to be operating out of a location at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC. Their appearance is noted in their latest disinformation and confusion campaign against the Catholic Church. The marxists and their co-conspirators in the media know that they have lost the abortion argument. This is so obvious that when 400,000 travel to DC in the bitter cold every January to protest in favor of the protection of human life, the media ignores them. Now the marxists have chosen...

Two events will mark this year's Grammy awards, the never thought possible reunion of the Beach Boys and the Two events will mark this years Grammy awards, the never thouhght possible reunion of the Beach Boys and the death of the 80's diva Whitney Houston. One might wonder what would interest a religious writer about this celebrity's life and death. Let's just say it offers a cautionary tale.

U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama reacts to an errant swing from a boy as they play mini-tennis during a "Let's Move!" faith and communities physical activity at Disney World's ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Florida February 11, 2012. The first lady is concluding a three-day trip to mark the second anniversary of her "Let's Move" initiative. U.S. first lady Michelle Obama speaks during a "Let's Move" faith and communities event at Northland Church in Longwood, Florida February 11, 2012. The first lady is on a three-day trip to mark the two-year anniversary of her "Let's Move" initiative.

Let's get some simple, thought-provoking, viral-potential signs and bumper stickers out there. Here is one to start. Hopefully it will drive home the point that a vote for Obama is a vote to kill America.No flames please. Just move along if you take exception.

There are times when children are the most sensitive creatures to spiritual thinking. I'm sure we all have a tale or two about ways in which children express the sacred. I had one such story happen to me in the wee hours of the morning.

St. Kitts and Nevis is the tiny "West Indes" nation where Justice Breyer was robbed by a man wielding a machete. It has very strict gun registration laws: Firearm Registration Civilian Gun Registration: In St Kitts & Nevis, the law requires that a record of the acquisition, possession and transfer of each privately held firearm be retained in an official register State-Owned Firearm Records: In St Kitts & Nevis, State agencies are required6 to maintain records of the storage and movement of all firearms and ammunition under their control Marking and Tracing Guns and Ammunition Firearm Marking: In St Kitts...

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator (that may be redundant) was tragically hit by a car and died. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St.. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says the Senator. "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend...

On Friday, Ann Coulter turned up on Medved's radio show to talk about Mitt Romney. During the interview Coulter claimed that conservatives aren't going for Mitt because he's "too square". Coulter has not only jumped the shark by endorsing Romney in the first place, she's gone stupid. Conservatives don't like Romney for one obvious, glaring reason: he can't be trusted. Ann (along with many other Romney supporters) has become expert at providing lame excuses and explanations for Romney's past proclamations that he was "more gay-friendly" than Teddy Kennedy, has "always supported a woman's right to choose", and "doesn't want to...

Every time you turn around liberals like Barbara Frush are coming up with new and ever more creative ways to pick our pockets and make our lives just a little more inconvenient--this time in the form of the proposed five-cent tax on plastic grocery bags. It never ends, and these people will likely never go away. It’s just one cockamamie scheme after another—whether it’s killing our beloved incandescent lightbulbs, building windmills instead of real power plants, or forcing us to install toilets that don’t flush. I am convinced that liberals like Frush were put on this earth just to annoy...

Obama tried to make the problem of infringement of religious Constitutional rights disappear by saying that the insurance company will pay instead. Huh? When David Copperfield goes on stage to make an object disappear he uses an illusion to make it appear to disappear but everyone knows that the object is really still there even though they can't see it. They are looking from the angle that the illusionist wants them to look. If you look from another angle the object is obviously still there. Here's what Obama hopes you won't see: the insurance company raises the rates it charges...

With Contraceptive Mandate, who's really in bed with "Big Pharma" now?

I won't pretend that there has been any one, single event or occurrence of late that has prompted this discussion. Suffice it to say that I'm absolutely, positively fed up as a Christian, a veteran, and as an American. I'm well into my 50's now, and in my lifetime I have never seen a more open, blatant attack on not only our freedoms as Americans but also our beliefs (e.g. Christianity in all of its forms), our sensibilities, and even our intelligence. There are multitudinous examples of enemies out there who loathe our country, our faith, our founding principles, our...

  Look for wisdom while it can still be found. Call for it while it is near. Do you want to know how near it is? The word is near you, in your heart and on your lips, provided that you seek it honestly. Insofar as you find wisdom in your heart, prudence will flow from your lips, but be careful that it flows from and not away from them, or that you do not vomit it up. If you have found wisdom, you have found honey. But do not eat so much that you become too full and bring it...

Issues: * Santorum Vs Romney. * Birth control. * Nuclear Iran. -- [Lib.] D. Brazil: Over 60% of Republicans like Rick Santorum On ABC 'This Week' with George Stephanopoulos. The same Dianne Brazil who says she's "catholic" defended the Pres. Whereas George Will said: This is what liberalism [and progressives] looks like, to break the [religious] institutions. WashingtonPost's 'Anti War' journalist David Ignatius had to inject his opinions too trying to scare and insist on "negotiations..." Even though he knows that Syria is Islamic-fascist Iran's door to the Arab world, and he knows that Iran is a GENOCIDE threat. George...

I know Hannity is persona non grata around here, but this is GOOD!

Newt Gingrich gave a spellbinding speech at CPAC today. He laid out specific plans for dismantling 40% of the Obama damage on Day 1 of a Gingrich presidency. Newt really has a plan and has the skills and experience to get this done. But now it is obvious that Newt has a Conservative Dream Team including Herman Cain, Fred Thompson, Rick Perry, Ollie North, Mike Reagan and others, to help move the nomination and the message forward. Newt Gingrich is the superior candidate with the superior message and action plan. Now the Dream Team has to go out and sell...

So the Huck was on regarding the violation of the 1st Amendment issue and said if he were Boehner, he would bring the healthcare bill back to the floor immediately for a vote. Is that possible? What say minds greater than mine?

I needed to Google an error message on my computer and typed "could" in the search box and the "suggestions" below had as #1 "could I be pregnant". Now I am no conspiracy type but I do know that Google is run by a bunch of left wing types and just wonder if that was programmed to pop up first due to the current controversy around the regime's push to force religious institutions to provide birth control and "day after" type medications including Catholic and other religious run health organizations. What do you think? Am I just being hyper-sensitive? Seeing...

Now on Cavuto. Obama struck-out twice as badly as before on mandating contraception coverage for religious institutions. First, analysis. Pat Caddell indicates that Obama is in twice the trouble he was yesterday with religious groups, esp. Catholics. Today's decree from Obama just doubles-down on mandating that Catholic organizations offer contraception to all its members. Organizations are pissed! Second, business. Insurance companies are outraged that they now have to pay for universal contraceptive coverage without ever even being asked. This just drives the insurance companies farther from the Libs/Dems. Third, religion. Mons. Jim Lisante on Cavuto. He says the Church is...

Newt gave a great speech today at CPAC! Did anybody else hear it? I thought he did a great job of providing specific policy plans, and how they will restore America to freedom and individual liberty. What I really liked was that he finally spelled out exactly his economic plan, which is far superior to Romney's or Santorum's. He touched on his 0% tax rate on capital gains, his 12.5% corporate tax, elimination of the death tax, and the optional 15% individual flat tax. If these were adopted, the economy would simply explode. He also made a strong case for...

OK, I'm sure we all have friends or family members that we disagree with who call themselves "pro-choice." These people will often feel ambigious about when life starts and don't feel it's right to make legal legislation about this. These are not the people I'm talking about. I'm talking about those that for whatever REALLY REALLY REALLY love abortion. The ones that strongly support funding of abortion left and right, and those who seem obsessed with making it more and more available and considered. Like Obama working to get it into Kenya. Come on, it can't be about "women's rights?"...

Very simply: With the cost of abortion and contraception an implicit cost of every health insurance contract, neither Catholics nor anyone else of conscience will be able to buy health insurance without paying for abortions. This is no change from Obama's original explicit mandate.

Buckle your seatbelts kids...

A Breitbart.tv video was posted last night on FR under the title: "Study: Distrust of Government A Mental Disorder." The video at Breitbart discusses and condemns a study that supposedly was published by the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (JCP), regarding a mental condition called "anti-government phobia." You can see the video here. At last count, the FR post had 89 responses, virtually all of which express Freeper outrage at this supposed attempt to pathologize disagreement with the federal government. The whole thing seemed fishy to me, especially since the video does not cite or show the specific issue of JCP...

First of all let me tell you how much I like Mark Levin, who is known by many conservative media icons as “the Great One”. I personally was totally looking forward to Mark’s new book and knew that it would be an excellent read or listen if you have an IPod. Mark starts out in his new book looking at the spectrum of philosophic views and utopian ideals of six men, their published works and ideologies, Plato, Thomas Moore, Thomas Hobbs, Vladimir Lenin, John Locke, Charles Secondat Baron de Montesquieu and the Founding Fathers. Each look gives great insight into...

"HOLY" ISLAMIC HATREDFor Your Information Arab Racism, Anti-semitism. Michigan Daily - Dec 6, 1973 Arabs often claim that they are not anti-semites because they are Semites. That is irrelevant because anti-semitism historically and means hatred of Jews and nothing else.Antisemitic literature abounds in the Arab world to day and its main function appears to be the cultivation and maintenance of popular hatred toward Israel. A substantial portion of this antisemitic campaign stems from continued Arab-Nazi collaboration since WW II.The leaders of the Palestinian Arabs (Haj Amin el Husseini, Fawsi el Hawkii, Wasef Kamal) were in Berlin since 1941. They helped...
