W. Cleon Skousen's book "The Five Thousand Year Leap" has been reissued, and after an endorsement from Glenn Beck, it was even briefly the No. 1 best-seller at Amazon.com. This is bad news for religious conservatism. Skousen's book is a slipshod mixture of tendentious history, bad theology and paranoid politics in the John Birch Society mold. It ought to be treated as a curiosity of the pre-Reagan right, a fantasy world where communist agents such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Dwight D. Eisenhower worked to undermine America.... The revival of Skousen-esque thinking via Glenn Beck's teary-eyed presentations on the...

Wow this is big news and really holds a lot of weight, I may have to rethink my support for Palin in 2012. I mean she is not on the same intellectual stage of a guy who reads off a tele-prompter in front of third graders? Let me see Krauthammer (worked under Carter and Mondale), Juan Williams(leftist propagandist), Nicole Wallace,Dana Perino, Barbera Bush and Karl Rove(All RINO hacks who's policies and world views helped bankrupt the country) attack her on what substantive issues? NONE In all cases these cowards attack her persona, and are not willing to debate her in...

A black father has been sensationally pardoned for the racially charged murder of a white teenager he claimed was part of a ‘lynch mob’ that stormed his home. John White, 57, was freed after serving just five months of a two-to-four-year prison sentence for the shooting.

Sorry if I'm not allowed to post this sort of thread, but I'd rather ask direct questions than interpret answers to other questions an apply them to my own. I'm from the UK and for school work over the holidays I've got to find and explain/counter arguments for and against a political issue from another country, and I know that healthcare reform is a big one in America at the moment so I picked the easy one. I've had good experiences with our NHS, and without it I would either be dead or my family would be deeply in debt...

Murkowski, Brown betray...Senate Vote TODAY on Gay Military...Whip Count 61 Pray in Jesus Name ProjectChaplain Gordon James KlingenschmittI just got off a conference call with Christian Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) who said Harry Reid (D-NV) may push for a Senate vote today or tonight to homosexualize our military. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) hinted she's poised to betray conservatives today, and Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) also came out in favor, making the whip count 61, so we need a miracle or 2 Democrats to vote "no." Everybody call Senator James Webb (D-VA,  202-224-4024) and say these words:   "Please filibuster Senate Bill 4022...

Inquiring minds are reading an intriguing and frightening article by Greg Hunter entitled, “Foreclosure Bombshell“. Mr. Hunter gives the best explanation (yours truly included) of the explosive problem surrounding foreclosures. The issue centers around the ‘note’…namely its location and why that is so important: ...

The following rebuttal is mine alone. I do not speak for my husband, for my friends, for my children, but solely for myself. I am tired of being told to sit down and shut up. I am tired of being told what I can and can not say. What is “acceptable”, while my ideas and values are mocked and trampled. Enough. I have had enough.

George Bush finally admitted failure, but not about what many would think. Former President Bush believes his biggest failure was on Social Security reform. Bush wanted to implement a semi-private . . .

I think it will be Jeb Bush because he is a successful former Governor of a state with no income tax, he speaks fluent Spanish and latinos love him, and he is an intellectual heavyweight. Who do you think it will be?

A Catholic Confessor-Bishop prepared the old liberals of yesterday an abrupt, but well-earned end.By Alexander Bauer [Kreuz.net] Already 200 years ago -- during the so-called Enlightenment -- starstruck, fashionable German Archbishops were infatuated with schism from the Catholic Church. At a meeting in Bad Ems -- in the modern state of Rheinland-Pfalz -- the Archbishops of Germany declared their indedependence and pastoral authority from the Pope's in 1786. They insisted in the principle, that every German Bishop with jurisdiction receives his power from God just as the Pope receives his. For this reason, they would not accept Papal regulations for...

This is just from me.... It should make you realize that America is not so bad, yet. In my travels today, which is in London, I am embarked upon a men taking a wiz in public on a street corner. He literately whip " it" out in public and was peeing. You can see their junk in public! I should not of been looking, I know. I was just shocked and the smell was of that of a bum. You see, there are public street urinals for men. Next thing you know you will see a circle of toliets and...

I am sick and tired of this site being taken over by Catholics ( of which I am one ) stories or proverbs. This is a news site not a religion site. Go do that somewhere else. I am not opposed to your prostilazion(sp), just not here. We lose credibility if any religious group dictates or can be quoted from this site. As a long term member of this site I regret posting this information, but the site has been buried in Catholic stuff recently and it should be shunted to some separate page.

see ya..........

According to a friend, White House is being evatuated, and its chaos around there....FYI ....Finding no news...

Genuine conservatives would have restrained, as best they could, Democratic proposals to cure what ails us, for genuine conservatives are of course genuinely wary of too much change, too fast. But they would not have made a political game of uniform obstructionism; they would not have toyed with, of all things, unemployment benefits; and they most decidedly would not be advocating trillions in extended tax cuts while in the grips of such looming debt.

When a San Francisco Federal Judge ruled the ban on same –sex marriage (enumerated by Proposition 8) unconstitutional today it was a big win for freedom in the United States. No longer will the issue be one that it is determined on a state by state basis, but the issue will eventually be enshrined in federal law pending the eventual Supreme Court decision. The current ruling will be appealed in the 9th Circuit, but regardless of the outcome you can be assured this case will be heard by the highest court in the land. The question is – What will...
