Ron Klein, D- Boca Raton, who voted for the bailout package for the financial industry, is one of the top recipients of campaign contributions from finance, insurance and real estate interests. The Center for Responsive Politics found Klein, a member of the Financial Services Committee, has taken in $789,238 in financial services industry money. That puts Klein at No. 8 in the 435-member House for the 2007-08 election cycle. Klein, in his second year representing Broward and Palm Beach counties, has gotten almost as much from the financial services sector as others who supported the legislation have received... http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/palmbeach/sfl-flbklein1001pnoct01,0,7326511.story http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2096520/posts#comment Fri, 3 Oct 2008 11:57:36 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2080072/posts Rapper Kanye West was arrested this morning at Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of vandalism and his road manager was arrested on suspicion of vandalism and battery after the two men reportedly confronted a photographer and smashed the man's camera, authorities said latimes.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2080072/posts#comment Thu, 11 Sep 2008 17:19:58 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2071996/posts Russia's links to West scrutinized after Georgia 2008-08-31 MOSCOW (Reuters) - European heavyweights Germany and Britain questioned Russia's ties with global institutions on Sunday, a day before EU leaders meet to decide what action to take over the Kremlin's intervention in Georgia. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sent troops and tanks into Georgia this month to stop what he called a genocide against separatist regions, but he now faces growing condemnation in the West, which accuses Russia of occupying parts of Georgia. Georgia's pro-Western government, which last week severed diplomatic ties with Russia, said it had pulled out of a long-standing...

Though far from the whole story, they are, nevertheless, true. There have been many awful consequences of religion. What one almost never hears described are the deleterious consequences of secularism -- the terrible developments that have accompanied the breakdown of traditional religion and belief in God. For every thousand students who learn about the Spanish Inquisition and the Salem Witch Trials, maybe two learn to associate Gulag, Auschwitz, The Cultural Revolution and the Cambodian genocide with secular regimes and ideologies....

Ron Klein in the 22nd Congressional District in Florida. This is a good opportunity for Republicans to regain a Congressional seat lost to the Democrats in 2006.

Retired Army Colonel and decorated war hero Allen West is poised to return Congressional District 22 in Florida to the side of the Republicans. His positions are clear and his motives are genuine. “I want to continue to serve my country. As an Officer in the Army I took an oath to abide by the U.S. Constitution. I will continue that devotion in Congress,” said LTC West while visiting Young Republicans and friends at the Soldiers’, Sailors’, Marines’, & Airman’s Club in New York City on August 4, 2008.

Barack Obama's campaign is mobilizing 3,600 volunteers for six weeks of political work in 17 states, calling the campaign jobs "Obama Organizing Fellowships," the Washington Post reports. In exchange for working on the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate's campaign, fellows are promised training in community organizing techniques, which is a euphemism for leftist political agitation. (Perhaps fellows will be instructed in the fine art of fraudulent voter registration ACORN-style.)

I don’t recall being asked about Israel quite so much on its 50th anniversary, which as a general rule is a much bigger deal than the 60th. But these days friends and enemies alike smell weakness at the heart of the Zionist Entity. Assuming President Ahmadinejad’s apocalyptic fancies don’t come to pass, Israel will surely make it to its 70th birthday. But a lot of folks don’t fancy its prospects for its 80th and beyond.
