CNN Video: '24'-A Neocon Sex Fantasy http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16598&rn=49750&cl=1682848&ch=49799&src=newsI'm not sure that this link will work if you don't have a yahoo account, so I apologize in advance if it doesn't... I apologize if it does work as well, it will make your stomach turn to see how the left at CNN and Newsweek view the WOT as a fantasy made up by "Neocons" like Rush and Michael Chertoff.It just blows my mind that 9/11 was not a wake up call to the left.  

Scout’s honor? Time to bring the Boy Scouts of America up to date http://www.pasadenaweekly.com/article.php?id=3353&IssueNum=17 http://tinyurl.com/k96l2 By Hannah Naiditch About two years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the Boy Scouts of America could use membership criteria that excluded homosexuals and atheists. It was a big victory for the Scouts, but its rules have backfired. Its donations have declined because it is in conflict with many of the donors’ anti-discrimination policies. Recently the Boy Scouts made news again. The California Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Berkeley did not violate the rights of the Scouts when the city revoked their free berthing...

Almost as much as President Bush's loyalty, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld may owe his job security to the prospect of what would happen if he resigned. Sure, it's a distraction from the war in Iraq and the rest of the war on terror to have a half dozen ex-generals calling for Rumsfeld's ouster. But suppose the president named a replacement. The scene would shift to the Senate Armed Services Committee, where a confirmation hearing would give 24 U.S. senators live TV time to air all their misgivings about a war that fewer and fewer Americans continue to support. You...

My gaydar is off. It's not just the European man capris, tight jeans and Spanish lisp. This weekend, I went out with an American friend, her Spanish boyfriend and a bunch of his Spanish guy friends. I've been out with them before, but I left the discoteca (club) "Boom!" on Thursday as confused as ever. The guys grind with each other, touch each other, flirt, everything. Yet, my American friend swears up and down that they're not really gay, just European. I'm not sure where this line is drawn, but if you ask me, they act pretty gay (not that...

Posted 1:53 AM August 12, 2005 Morton Marcus column: Fewer kids, more immigration would strengthen U.S. Society should invest in one or other to improve nation, guard resources.   By Morton Marcus August 12, 2005   Morton Marcus   Customer service •   This column may seem harsh to some readers; don't say you were not warned. Could we reduce some of the major costs in our society if we had fewer children and more immigration from abroad? Think about it. Children, particularly those 15 to 19 years of age, are a major disruptive and expensive aspect of our nation....

For the past 20 years, there's been a discussion in political circles and the media about the "fault lines" in the Republican party over the hot-button social issues such as the death penalty, abortion, affirmative action and gay rights. The presumption has always been that these issues would ultimately cause a rift between conservatives and moderates that would split the Republican coalition. The pundits and the MSM have been expecting and predicting this split for as long as I've been watching politics and they've been puzzled by the fact that it has never occurred. I believe that the reason that...

In an effort to increase its ranks for coming wars, the U.S. military is recruiting - and paying - children as young as 14 years old for future combat duty. By Tim Schmitt Colin Hadley spends most of his days after school skateboarding or playing Halo II on his new X-Box with friends. He sleeps until noon or later on weekends and rarely, if ever, does any schoolwork outside the classroom, where he pulls down solid C's and a few D's - just enough to get by. He's the typical 15-year-old American boy: cocksure in demeanor, certain the world revolves...
