Families with special-needs children and people with chronic illnesses stand to lose hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in tax benefits under Obamacare legislation, critics say, warning that a plan to cap the amount of money people can put into special "flexible spending" health accounts will have "cruel consequences." [2]
"Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist": "we have terrorists getting their constitutional rights in New York City, but I suspect that they’re going to deny these SEALs their right to confrontation in a military courtroom in Virginia."

Happy Thanksgiving!
This is traditionally a day set aside to give thanks to the Lord for His blessings. Second only to Independence Day, Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday, and as such, it is rooted deeply -- like our nation -- in our faith in God.
Throughout early American history, when they suffered from drought, famine or war, Americans paused, not to seek vengeance or to question their faith, but to give thanks to God for the blessings they still had. Not only have many Americans forgotten or never learned the historic origins of our Thanksgiving -- to pause and give thanks to God for our abundance -- but radical secularists are intent on removing God and Faith from our national life altogether. Many of the entertainment and political elite seem to be threatened by religious faith.
ClimateGate spreads down under! The New Zealand National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) was caught yesterday producing a graph with data manipulated to create a warming trend where there wasn't one. [7]
Senator Tells Climate Change Researchers to Retain Controversial E-Mails. Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe has sent letters to several climate change scientists and to the inspectors general of various federal agencies notifying them to retain breached documents and e-mails that he says prove researchers are manipulating data to make the case for global warming. Inhofe said the manipulation of climate change data has been going on for a long time, but the disclosure of the breached e-mails could bury the climate change legislation that narrowly passed in the House but is stuck in the Senate.

THE YOUNG TURNING AGAINST OBAMACARE. Previously national polling showed that the under-30 voters were the strongest supporters of the Obama healthcare initiative. While seniors opposed it by almost 2-to-1 and voters 30-64 opposed it by five-to-10-point margins, the under-30 voters backed his program by 58% to 30% opposed. Now under-30 voters are the strongest opponents of the plan! The Zogby poll was commissioned by the League of American Voters. [9]

In a rare move for television news, Bill Cathcart, Vice President and General Manager for CBS affiliate WTOC in Savannah, Georgia, excoriated political correctness. "We've become so ridiculous with our political correctness," he said. "So afraid of offending, despite the truth. So overly tolerant and self-effacing, pandering and apologizing to be liked. Putting up with absurd challenges to our Constitution, laws, traditions and freedoms, that we've become a nation of enablers for those with evil intent." [12]
As Sarah Palin grows in popularity, Barack Obama hits new lows in polls.[13] It appears as if Obama's health care ambitions will be his Waterloo.[14]
National Bible Bee results: Out of 17,000 contestants, there are 300 national qualifiers and nine finalists. 100% of the finalists, and 89% of the national qualifiers, are homeschooled.[15] Why are we not surprised?
WARMING ESTABLISHMENT ROCKED BY WIDESPREAD FRAUD AS MEDIA RETREATS!
Even George Monbiot, one of the fiercest media propagandists of the warming faith, admits he should have been more skeptical and says the science now needs to be rechecked. "There appears to be evidence here of attempts to prevent scientific data from being released, and even to destroy material that was subject to a freedom of information request."
"Worse still, some of the emails suggest efforts to prevent the publication of work by climate sceptics, or to keep it out of a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. I believe that the head of the unit, Phil Jones, should now resign. Some of the data discussed in the emails should be re-analysed." [16][17]
A private investigator says he found tens of thousands of sensitive documents dumped outside a California ACORN office just days after the state attorney general announced an inquiry into the community organizing group. The investigator searched the trash bin and discovered more than 20,000 documents he believes point to illicit relationships between ACORN and a bank and a labor union — as well as confidential information that could put thousands at risk for identity theft. Anyone surprised? [18]
Conservapedia delivers: in 2007, 15 out of 38 students in our Economics course performed at college level on our midterm exam. This time 30 out of our 50 students did that well! (One student took both exams and confirmed their same level of difficulty.)
The power of language, words and how big government manipulates it for their own agenda. [19]
City Council liberals in Marietta, Ga., are set to consider changing the oath of office that the city's police officers take so recruits can swear to uphold the law without saying "so help me God". Sounds as if they need a Tea Party of their very own! [20]
Just 38% of voters now favor the Obamacare scheme proposed by President Obama and the congressional Democrats. That's the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June. Even worse news for Obama and the Dems is the finding that 70% of independent voters are opposed and 60% of Senior Citizens oppose it as well. [21]
Nearly all ex-husbands lose in their attempts to obtain custody, but a former lesbian partner just obtained SOLE custody: a family court "ordered a first-of-its kind parent custody change Friday in a child-visitation ... [and] granted sole custody of 7-year-old Isabella Miller to her nonbiological but court-recognized parent."[22].
Parents who thought their preschoolers were spending time in home-based day cares, taking naps, eating healthy snacks and learning to play nicely with others may be surprised to discover they are sitting as many as two hours a day in front of a TV! When added to the two to three hours many parents already admit to allowing at home, preschoolers in child care may be spending more than a third of the about 12 hours they are awake each day in front of the electronic baby sitter, said Dr. Dimitri Christakis, a pediatrician at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle and a researcher at the University of Washington. [23]
The five Terrorists facing trial in the September 11 attacks will now plead not guilty so that they can air their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday. Earlier they had stated their intentions of pleading guilty before the planned military tribunals. Perhaps this is the reason President Obama and Attorney Geneneral Eric Holder decided to bring them to the U.S., to put America and George W. Bush on trial? [24]
A second cloture vote will be needed in Senate to close debate and vote on the health care bill, and merely one Democrat (or one of the Independents) can stop it. Democratic Senator Ben Nelson promised to "oppose the second cloture motion -- needing 60 votes -- to end debate, and oppose the final bill" unless changes are made that other Democrats oppose making.[25]
Liberal Patrick Kennedy whines to the media about being banned by his own church from receiving communion. "The bishop instructed me not to take Communion and said that he has instructed the diocesan priests not to give me Communion," Kennedy told a newspaper. Why did the church ban him? Because "I am not a good practicing Catholic because of the positions that I've taken as a public official," especially abortion.[26] What took so long?
Investment advisor Don Harrold encourages Americans to get out of debt, while the Obama administration creates future problems in the American housing market with unsound FHA loans.[27][28] Previously, Mr. Harrold exposed the folly of the investment advice at the liberal television cable channel CNBC.[29]
The web tracking firm Quantcast reports that Conservapedia's web traffic is significantly up.[30] According to Quantcast, Conservapedia attracts a "more educated, fairly wealthy" audience.[31] In addition, Quantcast's data indicates that Conservapedia visitors tend to be more educated and wealthier than the individuals who visit Wikipedia.[32][33] Looks like its time for the atheist Jimmy Wales to tell the Wikipedia mob to pick up a few more books! Maybe there would be fewer village atheists at Wikipedia if he encouraged the Wikipedia mob to renew their library cards!
Researcher claims to confirm Crucifixion from Greek/Latin/Hebrew symbols on the Shroud of Turin: "In the year 16 of the reign of the Emperor Tiberius Jesus the Nazarene [circa A.D. 30], taken down in the early evening after having been condemned to death by a Roman judge because he was found guilty by a Hebrew authority, is hereby sent for burial with the obligation of being consigned to his family only after one full year."[34] But Jesus's body was not there a year later!
Atheist Richard Dawkins has egg on his face again! Atheist advertisement initiated by Richard Dawkins and the British Humanist Society inadvertently features children who are members of one of Britain's most devout Christian families and the children radiate happiness.[35] Brad Mason, the father of the children, said that the children's Christianity shone through. Mr. Mason declared, "Obviously there is something in their faces which is different. So they judged that they were happy and free without knowing that they are Christians. That is quite a compliment. I reckon it shows we have brought up our children in a good way and that they are happy."[36] The atheist community has a higher rate of suicide compared to the theist community.
Despite President Obama's assurance his "stimulus" would limit unemployment to only 7.8%, millions more now are sufferring without hope of finding any job any time soon. [37]

Today's liberals embrace a politically correct mindset. By doing so, they are willing to degrade the rights of women or treat them as sub-human to please diverse cultures. The 50th anniversary of Mattel's Barbie is now complete with the traditional Islamic dress, the burka. [39] [40]
Senate votes tonight on pro-abortion health care bill: "Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) needs the last two holdouts - Sens.

Most Republicans (82%) and a majority of independents (61 percent) oppose the legislation. Seniors aged 65 and over, regardless of party, oppose to the legislation by 56%-30%.

ONE SENATOR’S CHOICE: OBAMACARE OR REELECTION:
A Zogby Poll this week illustrates the stark choice facing Senate Democrats as they have to decide whether or not to vote for ObamaCare.

An overwhelming number of American voters (53%) say they disapprove of most of President Obama's policies, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

The American College of Physicians -- the second-largest doctors' group in the country -- confirms that "the supply of doctors just won't be there" for the 30 million new patients President Barack Obama wants to cover. Noting that the doctor shortage is "already a catastrophic crisis," underserved areas in the U.S. currently need almost 17,000 new primary care physicians even before Obama's proposals are enacted! [60]
Barack Obama's nominee for undersecretary of the Treasury, Lael Brainard has tax payment issues. The fifth Obama nominee to have tax problems. It's hard for Obama to find honest people when he only associates with scofflaw leftists. [61]

"China questions costs of U.S. healthcare reform: Guess what?

An academic who specializes in Japanese culture said that Obama's bow to the Japanese emperor was too low of a bow.[70] Obama tried to pass himself off as a sophisticated, cosmopolitan citizen of the world with his overly deep bow to the Japanese emperor, but instead merely engaged in buffoonery that embarrassed the United States. What is Obama going to do next at a state function? Limbo dancing?
Banning of star running back from the NFL proves there's no free speech for comments that criticize homosexuality.[71] Liberals support a ban, but the Cincinnati Bengals may play him ... if the Bengals are not targeted to drop him.
Watch the Obama "bowfest" to the Japanese emperor contrasted with other heads of state greeting the Japanese Emperor HERE. Watch Obama bob his head like a pigeon HERE.
Liberal media and the Obama Administration lied to us again: "Second Cop -- Not Kimberly Munley -- Brought Down Fort Hood Killer."[72] Liberals just don't like male heroes. Kimberly Munley was also a hero, but there was no legitimate reason to lie about the facts.
