NSA vs FISA - Maybe It's Time For The Showdown
Perhaps it's time for the Administration to take the gloves off and call the Dems bluff once and for all. There's no need for congressional "hearings", offering nothing more than an opportunity for grandstanding, speechmaking, and bluster - none of which will truly settle anything!... More

Darwinism and the Religion of Scientific Materialism
Darwinian socialism (Marx's dialectical scientific materialism) is a secularized and distorted mirror image of the Christian teaching of divine providence. In as the Biblical model teaches that man and history are moving towards the Kingdom of God, scientific materialism preaches that man and history are evolving toward a terrestrial paradise created by Promethean humanists....

Walter Stahr, in his biography of John Jay, says of the early days of the United States under the Articles of Confederation, when Mr. Jay was Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that perhaps the most difficult foreign policy problem of that time was the Barbary pirates. ... More

America Must Preserve Its Culture
In essence, they insist that their religious views be forcibly upheld on a universal basis. And either the governments from whom they are demanding such enforcement will comply with their wishes, or they will ensure compliance by any available means.... More

Only a democrat could make hay out of an announcement that a terrorist attack had been averted.

I am not sure who Jim Kouri is but I have this to say: The media is coming out and Feinstein is coming out with this "WHY N-O-O-W?? WHY NOW?" I cant even fathom this stupidity. Certain things are classified and not for public consumption. The President is trying to protect the American public. These people make me want to vomit.

[Michael.SF.]

I'm amazed that the president would make this (announcement) on national TV

I'm amazed that the people of Los Angeles were stupid enough to elect you mayor.

[FreePaul]

Maybe Bush made the mistake of giving the message to the Mayor in english.

[plain talk]

Nagin and now this guy. Imagine you are a terrorist planner watching these clueless mayors.

[Redbob]

Tell Villaraigosa:
"Here's the deal bud: you're the newly-minted mayor of an out-of-control city; George Bush is the President of the United States.

The 'proper channels' are for YOU to address HIM in a respectful manner, and ask him nicely if there's anything he thinks you need to know."

[SR 50]

Sounds to me like this mayor is as read in as the mayor of New Orleans as to what his office knew but the mayor did not.

Wake up LA.

[Beth528]

I think President Bush knows who the big mouth politicians are an knew better to tell this Mayor anything..If he went around telling anyone what was going down then we would not have any intelligence would we?I say put a sock in it Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa..

[weezel]

Bush couldnt tell him, he couldnt trust a dimo not to tip off his jihadist brothers.

[Teacher317]

"I'm amazed that the president would make this (announcement) on national TV and not inform us of these details through the appropriate channels," the mayor said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I don't expect a call from the president -- but somebody."

This actually doesn't sound so unreasonable. And I can see the MSM making more of it than the mayor may have intended.
