Sarah Palin announces that she will resign as Governor of Alaska.

| Some say things changed for me on August 29th last year - the day John McCain tapped me to be his running-mate - I say others changed. Let me speak to that for a minute.
Political operatives descended on Alaska last August, digging for dirt. The ethics law I championed became their weapon of choice. Over the past nine months I've been accused of all sorts of frivolous ethics violations - such as holding a fish in a photograph, wearing a jacket with a logo on it, and answering reporters' questions.
Every one - all 15 of the ethics complaints have been dismissed. We've won! But it hasn't been cheap - the State has wasted THOUSANDS of hours of YOUR time and shelled out some two million of YOUR dollars to respond to "opposition research" - that's money NOT going to fund teachers or troopers - or safer roads. And this political absurdity, the "politics of personal destruction" ... Todd and I are looking at more than half a million dollars in legal bills in order to set the record straight. And what about the people who offer up these silly accusations? It doesn't cost them a dime so they're not going to stop draining public resources - spending other peoples' money in their game. [9]

Conservapedia has doubled the number of students that we're taking on our annual July trip to D.C. If you are a homeschooler or a public school student starting a Conservapedia Club, let us know and perhaps you can join us too.

The World Socialist Web Site relies on claims by Richard Lenski as support for its article entitled, "Marx and Darwin: Two great revolutionary thinkers of the nineteenth century." Bad flaws in the taxpayer-funded work of Lenski have been exposed on Conservapedia, and he never corrected the errors or complied with requests for his data.
Scientists Write Open Letter to Congress: "You Are Being Deceived About Global Warming -- Earth has been cooling for ten years. Present cooling was NOT predicted by the alarmists' computer models, and has come as an embarrassment to them" [18]
The Secular progressive / Liberal MSM Lie To Cover Their Own: Frank Lombard is an associate director at Duke University's Global Health Institute and a homosexual who was charged last week with the molestation of his adopted 5-year-old black son and actively trying to sell him for sex on the Internet. In the week since Lombard was arrested, not one national broadcast or cable television news show has picked up the story, and only 17 newspapers in the United States featured it – a majority of which are only small local newspapers. Compare this to:
- The weeks on end of sensationally lurid coverage of the white male lacrosse players of the same university charged with rape several years ago.
- The national uproar the false allegations against Senator John McCain concerning his purported affair with a lobbyist.
- The sensational, non-stop coverage of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's marital infidelity.
Perhaps the real story here is that the MSM expects such behavior from liberals and is only interested in reporting such items when it concerns conservatives? [19]
Are liberals sure they want Judge Sotomayor to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court? The testimony and record of this man - convicted of murder despite evidence of innocence that Sotomayor ignored - is pretty powerful, and he's determined to speak at her confirmation hearing: [20]

More Americans See Democratic Party As “Too Liberal”: A Gallup Poll finds a statistically significant increase since last year in the percentage of Americans who describe the Democratic Party's views as being "too liberal," from 39% to 46%. This is the largest percentage saying so since November 1994. The increasing perception of the Democrats as too far left comes as President Obama and the Democrats in Congress have expanded the government's role in the economy and are working towards a government take-over of healthcare. [22]
Today Canada celebrates its 142nd year since Confederation. Canada Day celebrates the events that occurred on July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act created the Canadian federal government. The BNA Act proclaimed "one Dominion under the name of Canada," hence the original title of the holiday, "Dominion Day."
As America prepares to celebrate its 233rd birthday this weekend, 82% of American adults say that if given the choice of living anywhere in the world, they would still choose to live in the United States. Just 11% (most likely all liberals) say they would not choose to live in America. [23]
Dictators and Obama's Double Standards: When it came to the rigged election in Iran, Barack Obama played it cool in his public statements, earning the approval of the liberal MSM like the New York Times. But when the Honduran military toppled that country's corrupt leftist president, the Times embraced Obama for speaking out against the "coup", even though the Honduran Supreme Court and Congress declared his actions unconstitutional -- the same kind of internal "meddling" he refused to do for the people of Iran. [24]

MSNBC’s Advice to GOP: Time to Dump "Morals and Values" Daytime anchor Contessa Brewer: "We’re talking about these personalities and who can be the leader of the Republican Party. What about their policies? Until they change policies — I mean, that’s what it took for conservatives in Great Britain to win — is a real change in focus away from morals and values into things that affect people’s daily lives." This shows that "conservatives" outside of the U.S. are not some equivalent to those here, and that the so-called MSM has moved so far left they have completely fallen off the table. [31]
Atheists all over Youtube frantically removing videos with swearing. The fear of God has come over them![32] A YouTube atheist with one of the biggest YouTube subscriber bases removed more than 2/3 of his videos![33]]
Polar Bear Expert Barred by Global Warming Alarmists From Polar Bear Specialist Group Conference: Dr. Mitchell Taylor, who has studied the animals for 30 years, was told his views "are extremely unhelpful". This is one of a steady drizzle of events planned to stoke up alarm in the run-up to the UN's major conference on climate change in Copenhagen next December. But one of the world's leading experts on polar bears has been told to stay away from this week's meeting, specifically because his views on global warming do not agree with those of the rest of the group. More than once since 2006, Dr Mitchell Taylor has made headlines by insisting that polar bear numbers, far from decreasing, are much higher than they were 30 years ago. Yet another inconvenient truth for the liberal Euro Socialists. [34], [35] and [36]
FIRST AMENDMENT BLOCKBUSTER: Today the "Court has set up a blockbuster case about Americans’ First Amendment rights to join together and speak freely about politics," declares the Institute for Justice. "A majority of the High Court appears to recognize the grave threat to free speech posed by both the electioneering communications ban in McCain-Feingold and the ban on corporate political speech. [The Hillary Clinton] case could mark a significant advance for First Amendment rights and will have major implications for state laws nationwide."[37]
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Members of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee profited from collapsing financial markets. "We didn’t elect them to position themselves to profit while the rest of us lost big chunks of our retirement funds." Observe the editor burying party affiliation when talking about Democrats. True American patriots need to make your voices heard- July 4th Tea Party. [38] [39]

Obama sides with leftist Zelaya, seeks to reinstate and "meddle" in Honduran affairs. [41]
The EPA freezes out a contrary global warming report. [42] [43]
- "Carlin's report listed a number of recent developments he said the EPA did not consider, including that global temperatures have declined for 11 years; that new research predicts Atlantic hurricanes will be unaffected; that there's "little evidence" that Greenland is shedding ice at expected levels; and that solar radiation has the largest single effect on the earth's temperature."
Sen. James Inhofe orders an investigation. "They don't want the truth at the EPA, We're going to expose it."[44]
Sotomayor Overturned
The U.S. Supreme Court has held (5-4) that reverse discrimination by government is unconstitutional, "reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge."[45] Full ruling here.

Bush was in an analogous period in 2001."[49] Watch future data relevant to Obama's approval ratings appear buried somewhere deep inside the liberal New York Times!

I was reading Chapter 7 [of our textbook] this morning when I ran across interesting information included about the French Revolution with a footnote. I looked in the back to see the source and sure enough it was Conservapedia."

UPDATE: House Passes Milestone Energy / Climate Change / Tax Increase Bill The vote was a razor thin 219-212 with 44 Democrats voting against the job killer bill. The House sent the measure to a highly uncertain fate in the Senate. [61]
Newt Gingrich On Cap and Trade / Global Warming: "The Obama White House has spent the week furiously working to convince its fellow Democrats in Congress to support the global warming bill that's before the House today. Former Vice President Al Gore has been working the phones, and there was even a luau at the White House last night. The question that must be asked, however, is why? If the case is closed on man's role in causing climate change, as the left assure us that it is, then why the need to twist Democratic arms to do something about it? My guess is it has something to do with 2+2=4." [62]
The sky is the limit when describing the hypocrisy of the Democrat majority.
No matter how corrupt the MSM is, not a single Democrat will talk bad about their allies. It's talk radio they are after. No matter how many criminal lawsuits are filed against ACORN, Democrats want nothing to do with investigating their own. [63]
