Gay marriage lacks enough votes in New Jersey, so the liberal trick of using a lame duck session may fail: "Today, as I stand here, we do not have the votes in the Judiciary Committee," stated the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. "Until somebody can demonstrate that we have the votes in the Judiciary Committee, it will not be posted," he added.[1]

Polls suggest healthcare debate a boon to GOP Senate candidates
The healthcare battle appears to be helping Republicans running for the Senate.
Two Quinnipiac polls released Thursday show the leading GOP candidates in Connecticut and Ohio growing their leads. Former Rep. Rob Simmons (R-Conn.) leads Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), 49-38, and former Rep. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) has opened his first leads over two potential Democratic opponents.
President Barack Obama’s approval on the healthcare issue has slipped in Ohio from 44 percent to 36 percent in the last two months, and now 57 percent of voters disapprove of his handling of it. Voters also by a wide margin say they oppose the healthcare bill, 55-36, after they were evenly divided, 44-44, in September. [7]
"ACORN May Be on Brink of Collapse: ACORN has been cut off by banks, the government and most of its private foundation funders, severely hampering its housing operations and raising the possibility that it will not survive in its current form, according to a lawsuit the group filed Thursday against the U.S. government."[8]

It's a "jobless recovery": "The jobless rate will exceed 10 percent through the first half of 2010, according to a monthly Bloomberg News survey of economists. The rate jumped to 10.2 percent in October, the highest level since 1983, according to a Labor Department report on Nov. 6. The economy has lost 7.3 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007."[13]

Founded during the American Revolution, "From the Halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli" and 234 years later- 180,000 Marines are serving in the Iraq and Afghanistan war. [14] Keep these patriots in your prayers.
Blatant Media Bias (Again): Newsweek's Evan Thomas regretted the Fort Hood mass murderer, Major Nidal Hasan, is a Muslim because of how that reality will be abused by conservatives. On this weekend's Inside Washington, Thomas, now Editor at Large with Newsweek, rued: "I cringe that he's a Muslim. I mean, because it inflames all the fears. I think he's probably just a nut case. But with that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going and it just -- I mean these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse." NPR's Nina Totenberg soon chimed in with agreement: "It really is tragic that he was a Muslim." Yes, much more tragic than if he had been Jewish or Christian? Huh? [15]
U.S. officials confirm Fort Hood shooting suspect sent e-mails to Al Qaeda associates. Army Ignored Warning Signs From Fort Hood Shooter, Former Classmate Says. The warning signs were all there: the justification of homicide bombings; the spewing of anti-American hatred; the efforts to reach Al Qaeda....[16] & [17]
Obama FBI knew Hasan exchanging messages with al-Qaeda.[18]
"Tear down this wall!" The liberals scoffed at those bold words of President Ronald Reagan, but 20 years ago today the people did as Reagan hoped: they tore down the Berlin Wall. "Thousands of people joined world leaders in the German capital Monday to remember the night 20 years ago when a euphoric wave of people power swept away the Berlin Wall and consigned the Cold War to history."[19]
Nidal Malik Hasan.
The man accused of killing 13 people and wounding 29 at Fort Hood is able to talk, a hospital spokesman said Monday, but it's unknown when investigators might take advantage of his improving health to press forward with their probe into the shooting spree.
Authorities say Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan fired off more than 100 rounds Thursday at a soldier processing center before civilian police shot him in the torso. He was taken into custody and eventually moved to an Army hospital in San Antonio, where he was in stable condition and able to talk, said Dewey Mitchell, a Brooke Army Medical Center spokesman. [20]

New congressman Bill Owens upholds the Democrat tradition of breaking his campaign promises before he's even on the job longer than a day:[22] [23]
Were conservatives right in supporting the pro-life Stupak Amendment to the health care bill Saturday?: Arizona Republican Congressman John Shadegg and Americans for Prosperity "urged Republicans to defeat the pro-life measure by voting present" in order to stop the health care bill. "'(Nancy) Pelosi is speaker and she’s pro abortion .... This is a vote to help her move the bill forward.'" The pro-life Stupak amendment passed by 240-194. Only Shadegg voted "present".[24]
"Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the health care bill passed last night by the House of Representatives is 'dead on arrival to the Senate.' Graham argued that the House bill was 'written for liberals, by liberals. Just look at how it passed; it passed 220 to 215 ....'"[25]
The Ludwig von Mises Institute has just released an extraordinary 42 minute film entitled Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve that is freely available to the public at YouTube.[26] The film is dedicated to Murray N. Rothbard, steeped in American history and Austrian economics, and features Ron Paul, Joseph Salerno, Hans Hoppe, and Lew Rockwell. Alan Greenspan is reported to be unhappy about the film. Watch the film, and you'll understand why!
The leading British newsweekly, The Economist, refuses to translate the Fort Hood killer's last words.[27] But that liberal publication had no trouble using the English term "Allah" in 71 other articles in its archives.
Liberals complain about the use of the Bible by jurors who sentenced a murderer to death: "The death sentence on a Texan man has been carried out despite claims jurors at his trial quoted the Bible during their deliberations. ... Amnesty had learned from four jurors that several Bibles were present in the jury room, with passages highlighted and passed between them."[28] Apparently liberals want jurors to read the newspaper instead!
The so-called conservative Democrats ( Blue Dogs ) were the difference in passing ObamaCare in the U.S. House of Representatives. A total of 28 Blue Dog Democrats forfeited their principles in favor of socialist healthcare & big government. [29] "If this bill passes the Senate, America will be bankrupt and nobody will have healthcare."

The New York Times recently endorsed liberal Jon Corzine for governor of New Jersey, but now it recounts his spending $130 million on his own political career with little more than a bad car crash to show for it. His 49-45% defeat Tuesday was "humiliating", says the Times, and its headline screams, "Unlucky and Aloof, Corzine Fell Short of Trenton Goals."[34]
We pray for the victims of the Fort Hood massacre and we pray that America takes steps to prevent this type of attack from happening again.
The British press mistranslates for liberal England the Fort Hood shooter's final words: "Allahu Akbar," which really means "Allah is great." A British paper shouts in its headline that his final words were "God is great,"[35] and then deflects the reader's attention to the heroine who stopped him.
Unemployment Rate tops 10%
The nation's unemployment rate rose above 10% for the first time since 1983 in October, a much worse jump than expected as employers continued to trim jobs from payrolls. The unemployment rate, calculated using a survey of households as opposed to companies, rose by 0.4 percentage point to 10.2%, the Labor Department said Friday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast an increase to 9.9%. [36][37]
Hours before the Fort Hood massacre, "Democratic liberals" who lead the House Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to weaken the USA Patriot Act as a tool for combating terrorism.[38]
Liberal headlines downplay the facts about the Fort Hood massacre, but details are emerging through quotes by fellow soldiers.[39]
Gay activists: it's Obama's fault: "Gay activists were frustrated that Obama, who insists he staunchly supports their overall civil rights agenda, didn't speak out forcefully in defense of Maine's marriage law before Tuesday's referendum. The law was repealed in a vote of 53 percent to 47 percent. ... The White House, asked about the criticism, had no immediate comment."
Tragic Shooting at Fort Hood in Texas
A shooting rampage Thursday afternoon at the Army's Fort Hood in Texas killed 13 and wounded 30 before the gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was sent to the hospital in stable condition. Two other suspects have been taken into custody. "We have a terrible, tragic situation here," said Lt. General Bob Cone. "Soldiers, family members and the civilians that work here are absolutely devastated." [40][41][42] Most of those killed were soldiers.
Eleven more videos of schoolchildren trained to praise Obama: "when eleven more dropped in our email box it came as quite a shock. ... Each one of the videos below is creepier than the last because the further down you go, the younger the children — brace yourself for kindergartners – except for the last and most disturbing video, which you have to see to believe."[43]
Governor Charlie Crist: 'I didn't endorse' the stimulus package.
Florida Governor Charlie Crist was interviewed on CNN's The Situation Room wednesday and claimed he did not endorse the 2009 economic stimulus package.
WOLF BLITZER: Do you have any regrets about endorsing the economic stimulus package?

Planned Parenthood makes the bulk of their money through abortion, setting quotas of how many babies per month should be killed, and raking in the cash[46].

Michele Bachmann "sets the stage for a congressional confrontation" today at high noon, and thousands converge on D.C. for her rally against Pelosi's planned federal takeover of medical care.[48] "The Republican lawmaker has been on a media blitz promoting [today]'s rally against the Democratic health care proposal on the steps of the Capitol, which she has dubbed 'The Super Bowl of Freedom.'"[49]
The number of jobs the Obama administration credits to federal stimulus money could be overstated by at least 20,000 of the 640,000 claimed, a Wall Street Journal analysis found. Recipients of the government grants and contracts appear to have made mistakes when estimating the number of jobs that have been saved or created, according to the Journal's review. The Obama administration said Friday that spending from the $787 billion stimulus program had directly created or saved about 640,000 jobs through Sept. 30. Republicans challenged the claim, saying there was no concrete way to tally jobs "saved." [50]
53-47% was the wide margin by which Maine voters rejected gay marriage, the centerpiece of the homosexual agenda.
What did $5 million in spending by gay activists buy them in Maine? Only 267,574 votes, about $20 per vote.
"Republicans won two big races Tuesday – the governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey – in a rebuke to the Democratic Party and a blow to President Obama."[51]
"Gay marriage has now lost in every single state -- 31 in all -- in which it has been put to a popular vote."[52] Spending more than $10 per vote promoting the homosexual agenda did not change the outcome: Maine restores the traditional institution of marriage.
Liberals admit this: "Contests serve as warning to Democrats: It's not 2008 anymore."[53] But then comes the liberal denial: "Neither gubernatorial election amounted to a referendum on the president." In fact, Obama hitched his presidency to both gubernatorial candidates, especially in New Jersey where he made 3 special election-eve appearances.
November 8
Thought the Democrats striped ACORN of taxpayer money to continue its corrupt practices, like facilitating child prostitution and human trafficing, besides ballot box stuffing? Wrong. Think again. The action only applied to the current year budget and continuing resolution, which ended October 31. When the continuing resolution expires, ACORN will be free to help register as many illegal aliens in California necessary to insure natural born citizens in other states lose thier representation during redistricting. [54]

Election Day 2009: Four key races rivet the nation's attention:
- the race for Virginia's governorship, in a state that went Democratic a year ago
- the race for New York congressional seat 23, as an insurgent Conservative Party candidate could make history in a liberal state

- the race for governorship of New Jersey, a heavily Democratic state.

Monday in history, November 2nd, 1983- Republican President Ronald Reagan signs into law the bill that recognized Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
"With two new polls showing the race over Question 1 a dead heat, the Yes on 1/Stand for Marriage Maine campaign released a new radio ad Monday spotlighting what it says is harassment and intimidation of public high school social worker Donald Mendell Jr., who faces the possible loss of his social worker license for his support of Question 1, which would reverse the new law.""[63]

Total repudiation of Obama in Virginia, as the Republican Bob McDonnell now has a 12% lead over the Democrat Creigh Deeds in the race for the governor's seat, which is currently held by a Democrat. Obama won this state merely one year ago.
"Democrats Scramble to Prevent GOP Victories in Key Races: The White House is aware Democratic losses would be spun as a referendum on Obama. The results of Tuesday's elections could also foreshadow next year's elections, when 37 governorships come up for grabs."[66]

Jon Corzine's Assistant Deputy Campaign Director Arrested on Drug Charges
A man who identified himself as an official with New Jersey Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine's reelection campaign was arrested Friday night after the police found ecstasy tablets wrapped and ready to be sold in his car, which was rented from the Corzine campaign. Jason Shih, 25, is being charged with possession of drugs, possession of drugs in a school zone, intent to distribute drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was also charged with two motor vehicle violations -- driving while using a cell phone and having drugs in his car.
Tickets for an upcoming campaign rally with Barack Obama were found mixed in with the drug paraphernalia. [70]
Liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava has suspended her bid in next Tuesday’s NY 23 special election, a huge development that dramatically shakes up the race. She did not endorse either of her two opponents -- Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman or Democrat Bill Owens. [71]
Public Policy Polling editorializes that "We're finding Hoffman with more support than Owens and Scozzafava combined...explains the withdrawal." [72]
"Kansas Supreme Court rules against wind farms." Wind energy is not eco-friendly after all: "hundreds of turbines towering 300 or more feet above the landscape will disrupt the natural beauty of the prairie, create noise pollution and hurt dwindling populations of prairie chickens, which won't mate anywhere near large structures."[73] They are also inefficient.
"GOP Poll: Obama Visits Backfiring In New Jersey? A new survey from Neighborhood Research (R) shows that Republican Chris Christie has pulled ahead as voters are breaking late from the undecided column toward the challenger.
Christie 42 (+6 vs. last poll, 10/6-8)
Corzine 35 (unch)"[74]

Liberal hatred strikes once again: if a liberal commits a heinous crime, always make sure to attack the victim, as Gore Vidal does in his defense of recently-arrested Roman Polanski: [76]
Obama's buddy "Hugo Chavez is currently conducting a political and financial 'blitzkrieg' in countries such as Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Bolivia, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia. So far, country responses to his aggressive efforts have been rather languid, with the exception of Honduras, where a rapid civic and military reaction has checked the progress of his offensive."[77] Uncensored, up-to-the minute news from Honduras can been seen on this blog: [78]
Record-low temperatures and snow may hit tonight in ... Tucson, one of the most southern cities in the western United States.[79] Global warming, anyone? Yes, liberals still want to control energy regardless of the facts, and under any pretext possible.

Women in Peril, the Parents Television Council is highlighting the increasing graphic violence against women and girls by Hollywood. Extreme violence against women has increased in frequency, is deemed trivial and even a humorous matter. Statistics show broadcasters have aired 120% more violence against women between 2004 and 2009. Conservatives fight for women, liberals exploit them. [83]
Down to the wire in the exciting New York congressional race: Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman has been endorsed by George Pataki, Sarah Palin, Dick Armey, Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, former Sen. Rick Santorum, "Fred Thompson, Dr. James Dobson, and Sen. Jim DeMint, as well as groups such as NY Right to Life, National Organization for Marriage, Susan B. Anthony List, Concerned Women for America, and others."[84]
Is the RINO gambit in New Jersey about to crash and burn in ignominious defeat? The Quinnipiac poll thinks so: RINO Chris Christie falls to five points behind the unpopular Jon Corzine.[85] Christie stumbled with conservatives by picking a pro-choice running mate rather than Steve Lonegan, a movement conservative who won 42% in the primary despite every "leader" opposing him and being outspent by millions.
"City Parents Opting Out of Swine Flu Vaccine: At Public School 157 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, where health officials opened their public school vaccination campaign on Wednesday, only a third of students had permission to receive it. 'The swine flu vaccine has not been out long enough for me to trust it,' said Sheena Ash, who has three children at the school."[86]
Liberal John Kerry insists that "we invented wind" as he desperately pushes for more government control over energy, under the guise of man-made global warming. Give it up, guys: not even name-calling by liberals who cry "flat-earther" is going to pass "cap and trade" or change the fact that Earth is getting cooler.[87]
Church of Scientology convicted of fraud in France
A Paris court convicted the Church of Scientology of fraud and fined it more than euro 600,000 ($900,000) on Tuesday, but stopped short of banning the group's activities.
The group's French branch said it would appeal the verdict.
The court convicted the Church of Scientology's French office, its library and six of its leaders of organized fraud. Investigators said the group pressured members into paying large sums of money for questionable financial gain and used "commercial harassment" against recruits. [88]

Pro-life Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) "said he is undeterred in trying to ensure that taxpayer dollars do not pay for abortions. ... Stupak wants a vote on the House floor to strike the language, and predicts he would have the votes to pass such an amendment. ... 'We have to have a vote,' he said. If he doesn't get one, Stupak said he and as many as 39 other Democrats will vote no on a procedural motion to bring the health bill to the floor. A House vote on healthcare reform could be voted on next week."[93]
Joe Lieberman to Filibuster Government Option
Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), said Tuesday that he’d back a GOP filibuster of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s health care reform bill.
Lieberman, who caucuses with Democrats and is positioning himself as a fiscal hawk on the issue, said he opposes any health care bill that includes a government-run insurance program — even if it includes a provision allowing states to opt out of the program, as Reid has said the Senate bill will.
"To put this government-created insurance company on top of everything else is just asking for trouble for the taxpayers, for the premium payers and for the national debt." Lieberman said. [94]

Best selling authors Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner have Global Warming doomsayers scrambling [97] [98] [99] to refute their new book. In "SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance," the pair provide explanations of what people want and how things work under the law of unintended consequences.

Newspaper circulation plummets: "Circulation at newspapers shrank at an accelerated pace in the past six months .... Average daily circulation at 379 U.S. newspapers plunged 10.6 percent in the April-September period from the same six-month stretch last year, ... the largest drop recorded so far during the past decade's steady decline in paid readership."[101] Time for them to take a break from printing their liberal claptrap.

"Dr. Diane Harper, lead researcher in the development of two human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, said the controversial drugs will do little to reduce cervical cancer rates and, even though they're being recommended for girls as young as nine, there have been no efficacy trials in children under the age of 15. ... 'I came away from the talk with the perception that the risk of adverse side effects is so much greater than the risk of cervical cancer, I couldn't help but question why we need the vaccine at all,' said Joan Robinson, Assistant Editor at the Population Research Institute."[103]
Conservative Doug Hoffman surges in NY-23 Special Election
A poll released today by Basswood Research shows Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman surging into the lead in the special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district to replace John McHugh, the former congressman who recently became Secretary of the Army.
"Hoffman now has a wide lead among both Republicans and Independents, while Bill Owens has a wide lead among Democrats. Dede Scozzafava’s support continues to collapse, making this essentially a two-candidate race between Hoffman and Owens in the final week," concluded Basswood Research’s pollster Jon Lerner, who conducted the poll for Club for Growth.

Did Jeremiah Wright teach Barack Obama to hate America? Nothing else can explain the Democrat's mad plans for its citizens. The government debt burden is expected to total 56 percent of GDP this year. The U.S. Dollar is poised to be replaced as the world’s primary reserve currency. “Excessive debt is usually a predictor of subsequent trouble.” [105] ObamaCare will sink America into financial ruin.
The Obama Administration's war on Fox News is backfiring and makes them look desperate. Even liberal media political commentators and journalists agree. [106]
Columnist Laura Hollis in Time to Use the "C" Word (and that's not "c" for conservative) writes, Obama is "not a liberal, or a Democrat, or a progressive, or even a socialist." Think Communist! We noted the same when it was discovered Obama built his early career leading an effort to unseat an incumbent Democratic Senator for acting in a spirit of bipartisanship and voting across racial lines to confirm Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. How did Obama defeat the Chicago Regular Democrats? With CPUSA and ACORN organizers' assistance.
Bill Laggner, the Co-Founder of Bearing Asset Management, gives an interview with King World News and discusses how the Obama administration's short term economic "solutions" that cover up the big problems with the current US financial system will likely lead to a very serious economic depression.[107] The investment firm Bearing Asset Management returned a 134% return on investment in 2008. According to Bloomberg News, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke lost money in the stock market in 2008 when his holdings in annuities and other assets tumbled by as much as 29 percent.[108] Message to Obama supporters: Please tell Obama thanks so much for retaining Ben Bernanke as the Federal Reserve Chairman!
States, out of money, cut spending on public schools. No problem, teachers unions simply demand less work for less pay. In Obama's home state of Hawaii, the "deal whacks 17 days from the school year for budget-cutting reasons and ... Hawaii's 171,000 public school students now find themselves with only 163 instructional days, compared with 180 in most U.S. districts. Hawaii's public education system is ranked 47th in the nation in eighth-grade reading and math ...."[109]
The liberal media is having a "bad year" by reporting hoaxes as real news. In at least one case, a liberal group was behind the hoax. Now 63% of Americans think news stories are often inaccurate, which is the highest percentage ever.[110]

A Conservapedian thanks us after her first two months at college: "I made a hundred on my first History quiz. I've also made 100's on several of my other quizzes and papers so far as well! So, thank you so much for all the great classes you taught during high school. I really feel like they helped prepare me for college tremendously. They definitely taught me how to study and take tests."
Al-Qaida and the Taliban: Knowing your enemy
Senior al-Qaida leaders are forging deeper relationships with Pakistani militants and often operating from their camps inside the Pakistan border, fueling Obama administration arguments for a shift in the Afghan war strategy that more narrowly targets the terrorists.
For eight years since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. has focused mostly on Afghanistan's Taliban as an unabashed ally of al-Qaida.
Now, however, forced to choose between sending more troops in an intensified counterinsurgency campaign against Afghanistan's Taliban or largely maintaining troop levels and using more drone strikes to take out al-Qaida along the border, U.S. officials must first determine which enemy is the greater priority.[114]
"Democrats are abandoning Obama on global warming. Only 50% of Democratic voters in the U.S. agree with President Obama’s belief that humans are responsible for global warming, according to a new poll from Pew Research Center released today. ... Independent voters in the U.S., meanwhile, have stopped blaming humans for global warming in even greater numbers. Only 33% now blame us. ... Republicans are also abandoning the “blame human” stance, dropping from 27% last year to 18% this year."[115]
Liberal scientists and evolutionists, that's your cue: your gig is up on this issue. Find another one now.
Virginia becomes conservative again: "Creigh Deeds, the Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia, has a Barack Obama problem. Obama won Virginia in last year's presidential race--the first Democrat to do so in 44 years--but his popularity in the state has plunged since then. Deeds is conflicted. Asked if he's an 'Obama Democrat,' Deeds said he's a 'Creigh Deeds Democrat,' whatever that is. And he's skipped two of three Obama appearances in Virginia during the campaign season."[116]
"White House Loses Bid to Exclude Fox News From Pay Czar Interview. The Obama administration on Thursday tried to make "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included."[117]
The liberal governor of New York rescinds his own department's mandate that all health care workers receive the H1N1 flu vaccine.[118] The governor trails in his reelection campaign and the powerful nurses' unions opposed being required to receive the vaccine.
Once again, conservatism triumphs over liberalism! The North Dakota Chamber of Commerce website states: "North Dakota boasts low unemployment and a fast growing economy. Last year, the state's economy grew at the fastest pace of any in the US and unemployment, at just 4.2 per cent, is the country's lowest. A fertile mix of natural resources, frugality and a plains-state work ethic have made North Dakota one of the most productive states in the US. "It's the nature of the North Dakota people," John Hoeven, the governor, said in an interview with the Financial Times. They're more conservative than the average American.'"[119] Well, well, well! They're more conservative than the average American! Imagine that!
And on the flip side, there's Michigan, with more than 15% unemployment[120][121]; two cities "impoverished"[122]; one city with a violent crime rate so bad that it's five times higher than the national average[123]; a school system with 21,000 kids dropping out every year[124][125]; and a tax-happy governor who doesn't know when enough is enough[126]. Just who's in charge? The Democrats and their liberal/union allies.
Sarah Palin endorses Doug Hoffman for Congress
"It's my honor to endorse Doug and to do what I can to help him win, including having my political action committee, SarahPAC, donate to his campaign the maximum contribution allowed by law.
The federal government borrows, spends, and prints too much money, while our national debt hits a record high. Government is growing while the private sector is shrinking, and unemployment is on the rise. Doug Hoffman is committed to ending the reckless spending in Washington, D.C. and the massive increase in the size and scope of the federal government. He is also fully committed to supporting our men and women in uniform as they seek to honorably complete their missions overseas." [127]
The link between abortion and breast cancer is very clear. Breast cancer awareness organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure gave $711,485 to Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country. "It makes little to no sense for Komen to give money to an organization that exploits children, that exploits women, and covers up rape." [128]
Jobless Claims Dent Recovery Hope.
The number of first-time filers for unemployment insurance rose last week, snapping two weeks of significant declines, according to a government report issued Thursday.
There were 531,000 initial jobless claims filed in the week ended Oct. 17, up 11,000 from an upwardly revised 520,000 the previous week, the Labor Department said in a weekly report. The week included the Columbus Day holiday. [129]
Another claim of evolution is proven to be false: "‘Missing link’ primate isn’t a link after all; Expert: Ida is as far from monkey-ape-human ancestry as primate can be."[130]
But don't expect any evolutionists to apologize for misleading again.
7 Months After Stimulus 49 of 50 States Have Lost Jobs
49 States and the District of Columbia have lost jobs since the economic stimulus package was enacted. While President Obama claimed the result of his stimulus bill would be the creation of 3.5 million jobs, the Nation has already lost a total of 2.7 million – a difference of 6.2 million jobs. [131]

The liberal advantage in political fundraising over the internet, so crucial to Obama's election last year, is over. Remember Congressman Joe Wilson, and how liberals poured money into his opponent's campaign to defeat Wilson for saying "you lie!" during Obama's speech? Wilson outraised his opponent by a 5:3 margin on the internet.[133]

Union threats and intimidation follow soon thereafter. [141] Did you know the AFT union gave nearly $50,000 to the embattled radical group ACORN in 2009? Over $1.3 million in the last couple of years total.
Republican Primary for Florida Senate Race Tightens.[142]
Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio is building momentum in his primary campaign against Florida Governor Charlie Crist. Polling released last week showed a significant deterioration in Crist’s once sky-high approval ratings, with an InsiderAdvantage survey showing his job performance rating dipping below 50 percent. Meanwhile, Florida political insiders and the state media buzzed about an unreleased recent Chamber of Commerce poll said to show a closer-than-expected primary race.
Conservapedia appeared live this morning on KTRH to explain the Conservative Bible Project.[143]
Meanwhile, the Obama Administration insists that Fox News is, quote, "not a real news channel!"[144]
Conservapedia is on the front page of Sunday's newspaper in Nashville, Tennessee.[145] The article quotes our competitor to criticize our project: a professor from Wheaton College, which seeks to replace the liberal-leaning NIV translation with an even more liberal version. Already there are over 100 comments by readers on the article.
The comments illustrate how angry atheists are with this project. Yet they ignore the Bible anyway!
"Increasingly, noisy factions on the party's most liberal flank - among them gay rights proponents, pro-choice activists and immigration reformers who Obama courted last year - are incensed that their causes have taken a backseat to the White House's all-out push on health care reform."[146]

Barack Obama's presidential honeymoon period is over.[147][148]
Public schools love to abuse their power ... even by picking on 6-year-olds! "Take, for example, an incident reported by The New York Times on Monday in which Zachary Christie, a 6-year-old first-grader and Cub Scout, took a camping utensil that had a spoon, fork and small knife to his Newark, Del., school lunchroom to use while eating his lunch. Because the implement had a small knife blade, it was deemed a dangerous weapon, and Zachary was suspended from his regular school and ordered to attend a disciplinary school for 45 days. Following heavy criticism of the suspension, the school board voted Tuesday night to change Zachary’s suspension to a period of between three and five days."[149] Without taxpayer funding, who would pay these public school tyrants?
Congressman Ron Paul, M.D. on United States healthcare.[150][151]
Noted forecasters/investors Gerald Celente, Marc Faber, Jim Rogers, and Harry Dent predict financial collapse of the United States is dead ahead (Celente says barring any new massive US government schemes, a collapse will likely occur in fall or perhaps in the early part of next year).[152] Top trend forecaster Gerald Celente has predicted that unemployment will reach 25% in the United States.[153] Celente also predicts bloodless coup/revolution, food riots, tax rebellions by 2012 in the United States.[154]
In addition, Celente asserts that the costly and inefficient temporary short term methods that the Obama administration is using to alleviate economic problems in the short term (which is causing massive increases in Obama administration deficit spending) is making a likely future financial collapse worse and will not prevent the worse economic depression in United States history from occurring.[155][156]
Some Democrats finally admit the obvious: "Racism is not a factor driving conservative opposition to President Barack Obama, according to the results of focus groups conducted by Democracy Corps, a Democratic organization, released on Friday."[157] Well, no kidding, what took them so long to admit it?
The next target of TEA party organizers- the liberal-controlled media. Tea-party protests are now set to boil in front of more than 30 media offices across the U.S. [158]
Prayer Isn't News
Encouraged by a friend and following the good example of my wife, I find myself participating in the 40 Days for Life Campaign.
You probably won’t see much about this campaign in the news media. That’s because it is so peaceful and holy. All across the country, local groups have agreed to pray at abortion clinics for 12 hours a day, every day, for 40 days. [159]

Pakistan faces new wave of Taliban attacks
Pakistan's army chief briefed the country's top leaders Friday on the tenuous security situation as the government combats a new wave of attacks believed to have been orchestrated by Taliban militants.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani called on army chief Gen. Ashfaq Kayani to address the leaders of Pakistan's political parties. [162]
Still more professor values: "The University of Colorado is seeking to recover funds it spent fighting a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a professor who was fired on plagiarism charges after he likened some Sept. 11 terrorist attack victims to a Nazi leader. CU filed its bill for more than $52,000 in court last week."[163]
Liberal Democratic Senator Max Baucus retaliates against a critic of his government takeover of medicine by starting an investigation into it.[164] "Would the administration impose this sort of gag order if seniors were being given information promoting the Obama health care plan? I don't think so," observed Minority Leader Republican John Boehner.
To certain members of the United States Senate, it's so vital to build a library or a museum that they have to steal over $2 billion from part of a defense bill which pays for fuel, ammunition and training for U.S. troops ON THE FRONT LINES![165] Is it any wonder that these people need to get their pink slips? [166]
Global warming fraud exposed again: "Mid-October snowfall in Pa. sets record"[167] Anyone expect Al Gore to give back his $100 million?
More professor values: "Undergraduate teaching requirement a myth" at Yale, despite its insistence otherwise.[168] In fact, many tenured professors at large, taxpayer-funded universities do not teach any undergraduate courses.
No shocking news regarding the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Barack Obama, Michael Moore and Timothy Geithner failed to win the most highly respected award in economics. [169]
Conservatives volunteer more: "Since 1989, the Midwest region of the United States has had the highest volunteer rate among U.S. regions for all adults, with a rate of 23.9 percent in 1989, and 30.2 in 2008. This is a shift from 1974 when the [now-liberal] West had the highest volunteer rate. ... Since 1974, the number of volunteers in the South has almost doubled from 10.5 to 20.7 million, giving the [conservative] South the largest number of volunteers of all the regions."[170]
Is there a darker purpose to Chris Matthews telling the viewers on his show that he "fantasizes" about killing Rush Limbaugh? [171]
And Rush meanwhile lashes out at the irresponsible main stream media who apparently have attributed racist "quotes" to him in order to prevent his buyout of the St. Louis Rams, never mind the fact that the quotes in question were created over in Wikipedia, whose editors are even now trying to hide the evidence! [172][173]
The Baucus health bill approved Tuesday by the Senate Finance Committee "requires the secretary to make certain every state has an insurance plan that people can buy with money paid directly out of the U.S. Treasury that covers abortion on demand."[174]

Commander frets over Afghan corruption
Rampant government corruption may derail the fight against the Taliban and al-Qaida in Afghanistan even if as many as 80,000 additional U.S. troops are sent to the war, the top military commander there has concluded, according to U.S. officials briefed on his recommendations. [177]

A professor in liberal Netherlands "has carried out fresh textual analysis that suggests the writers of the great book never intended to suggest that God created the world — and in fact the Earth was already there when he created humans and animals"![181] No wonder liberals oppose conservatives translating the Bible so much.
Liberal hatred for First Amendment rights began this year with actions against talk show host Michael Savage by linking his name to a list of murderers and terrorists - "for balance" - in the United Kingdom[182]. Unless stopped, it's YOUR rights that will be revoked.
The United States, Spain and Italy honor Christopher Columbus today by placing a wreath at the Columbus Memorial Statue at Union Station in Washington, D.C. Columbus discovered America and paved the way for evangelizing and settling it, and that does not sit well with liberals who rewrite public school history books. [183] [184]
Panic sweeps liberals about our Conservative Bible Project. Another newspaper in the increasingly atheistic Canada runs a story about us.[185] Why are liberals who do not read the Bible themselves so opposed to this project?
Surprise, liberal union opposes conservative owners in a partisan display of anti-democracy. NFL Players Union is standing against conservative talk show radio host Rush Limbaugh, in his group's bid to purchase the St. Louis Rams. [186] Race-baiter Al Sharpton chimes-in [187]
Liberal policies have left California essentially bankrupt with unemployment at 12.2%. "Since February, Schwarzenegger and lawmakers have cut $32 billion from spending, raised taxes by $12.5 billion and covered $6 billion more with accounting gimmicks and borrowing. Even with those actions, state budget officials predict an additional $38 billion in deficits in the next three fiscal years combined, including $7.4 billion in the year starting July 1."[188] [189]

Obama follows in footsteps of former presidents Wilson, Roosevelt with Nobel Peace Prize — but historians say his win is an 'embarrassment' to the process. [192]
New Global Warming alarmist strategy; if the data doesn't support results, just destroy the data. Goverment-funded research from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) disclosed that it had destroyed raw data for its global surface temperature set because of an alleged lack of storage space. [193]
Even Barack Obama's sycophantic liberal fan club on NBC's Today Show were stunned at the President's winning of the Nobel Prize. Co-host Matt Lauer found it baffling: "We're less than a year into the first term of this president and there are no - I'm not trying to be, you know, rude here - no major foreign policy achievements, to date." [194]
Barack Hussein Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize. In a stunning choice, Obama is the third sitting United States President to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the choice shocked observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the nomination deadline. It seems Obama idolatry in Socialist Europe is as strong as ever. [195] [196]
Iraq signs key oil deal: Iraqi officials have signed a deal with Britain's BP and China's CNPC to develop its Rumaila oilfield, a milestone in Iraq's efforts to renew its oil sector... It is the first big upstream deal between Iraq and foreign oil companies since nationalization of the country's industry about 40 years ago. [197]
Here's another biased liberal rant against the Conservative Bible Project, this time blaming a non-existent person called "Scott".[198] (There's no "Scott" here.)
Putting the Mainstream Media Out of its Misery by the Canada Free Press. Their business model- unsustainable. Their audience- leaving fast.

The global Muslim population stands at 1.57 billion, meaning that nearly 1 in 4 people in the world practice Islam, according to a report Wednesday billed as the most comprehensive of its kind. The project, three years in the making, also presents a portrait of the Muslim world that might surprise some. For instance, Germany has more Muslims than Lebanon, China has more Muslims than Syria, Russia has more Muslims than Jordan and Libya combined. Islam is the world's second largest religion behind Christianity, which has an estimated 2.1 billion to 2.2 billion followers. [202]
Praising the Lord Is a 15-Yard Penalty[203] Have the atheists taken over the NFL?
Dave Ross asked during the live radio interview today: can we translate the passages about slavery any differently? Response: the term "slavery" has changed in meaning over time. Modern slavery means racism and trans-Atlantic slave trade, unlike Biblical times or when the KJV was written. Discuss further at Talk:Conservative Bible Project.
Conservapedia goes on the liberal Dave Ross talk show at 2:05pm ET Wednesday in order to discuss the Conservative Bible Project.
The campaign for Republican Pennsylvania Senate candidate Pat Toomey announced Wednesday it has raised more than $1.5 million in the 3rd fundraising quarter of the year. The campaign also stated it has now raised more than "$3.1 million from over 20,000 contributors" in the last five and a half months, and already has "33 percent more contributors than the total number of donors amassed during the entirety of his 2004 Senate run." Toomey is challenging Democratic Senator Arlen Specter. [204]

Liberal hypocrisy anyone? In their condemnation of the Conservative Bible Translation Project, the critics have forgotten their praise for last year's "Green Bible", an eco-friendly edition made from recycled paper, processed soy ink, and the words of nature - not Christ - in green: [208][209]
The "Constitution Revolution" has Americans armed not with guns, but with the Truth. Propaganda assaults will fail because fear is not our core value, the core of the American psyche is independence and patriotism. American's demand civic responsibility and a call for politicians to- honor your oaths to the U.S. Constitution. [210]

Message to President Obama supporters: You know that you're a liberal United States President in deep political trouble when your fellow liberals at the comedy television program Saturday Night Live do a skit mocking your lack of accomplishments.[215][216] It certainly appears as if Obama's health care plans will be his Waterloo. [217] The verdict is in: President Obama is Jimmy Carter 2.0
What Michelle Obama calls her "best memories" are proven to be yet another lie, this time trying to fool the International Olympic Committee: “Some of my best memories are sitting on my dad’s lap, cheering on Olga and Nadia, Carl Lewis, and others for their brilliance and perfection.”[[218] In fact, Mrs. Obama was 20 years old when Lewis first competed in the Olympics in 1984. Unlike the liberal media, the Olympic committee was apparently not fooled; it soundly rejected Obamas' request.
The San Francisco zoo's alleged 'gay' penguin flies straight/heterosexual.[219] Angry homosexual activist, Wayne Besen, absurdly declares concerning Harry the penguin: "There is no 'ex-gay' sexual orientation. Harry is simply in denial. He's living what I call the 'big lie.'"[220] Conservapedia's homosexuality in animals myth article is again vindicated and the rejection of reality by liberals continues.

Rio wins right to host the 2016 Olympics
The 2016 Games are going to Rio de Janeiro. Finally, South America gets an Olympics. In a vote of high drama, the bustling Brazilian carnival city of beaches, mountains and samba beat surprise finalist Madrid, which got a big helping hand from a very influential friend.
Chicago was knocked out in the first round, despite in-person lobbying by President Barack Obama — one of the most shocking defeats ever handed down by the International Olympic Committee. Even Tokyo, which had trailed throughout the race, did better — eliminated after Chicago in the second round. [235] Some International Olympic Committee members said that President Barack Obama did a lackluster job of representing the United States bid for the Olympic games.[236]
Support for abortion rights has fallen sharply in the past year, with Americans now split roughly 50-50 between those who back legal access to abortion and those who oppose it, according to a new survey. Only 47 percent of Americans now feel abortion should be legal in all or most cases, a drop from 54 percent a year ago, according to the poll. Meanwhile, 45 percent say it should be illegal in all or most cases. That's up from 41 percent a year ago. [237]
The unemployment rate rose to 9.8% in September, a 26-year high. The monthly employment report said 263,000 jobs were lost, almost one-hundred thousand worse than the market forecast. [238]
President Obama's pitch for the 2016 Summer Olympics ends in defeat. Chicago and Tokyo are eliminated in the first round of IOC voting. [239] The winner is Rio de Janeiro, the first Olympics to be held in South America.
Another example of the hatred liberals have for American society: Kevin Jennings, the Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools at the U.S. Department of Education; placed in that position by Barack Obama; charged with overseeing the "well-being" of children in our schools...and who's source of inspiration is Harry Hay, a leader and promoter of pedophilia within the child-abusing organization known as NAMBLA: [240]
McChrystal warns Taliban is growing
Violence in Afghanistan is growing and the success of the campaign against the Taliban cannot be taken for granted, General Stanley McChrystal, the head of US and Nato troops has said...
"Whether we like it or not, we have a conventional warfare mentality," he said. "We must do things dramatically differently, even uncomfortably differently," he said, referring to the need to take risks to protect Afghan civilians.
"I discount immediately anyone who simplifies the problem or offers a solution ... or says 'this is what you have got to do' because they absolutely have no clue about the complexity of what we are dealing with." [241]
"President Obama has cut off communication with Republican leaders, going more than four months without hosting the bipartisan congressional leadership at the White House to discuss his health care proposal, the No. 2 Republican in the House said Wednesday."[242]
"Without Bush, media lose interest in war caskets"[243] Most of the anti-war hype by the media was apparently nothing more than being anti-Bush, or anti-conservative. "For all of 2009, the number [of American fatalities in Afghanistan] is 220 -- more than any other single year and more than died in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 combined." Where's the ranting by the media now??? (Hint: Obama supports the war in Afghanistan.)

More examples of the creepy liberal cult of personality surrounding Barack Obama.[251][252] American video makers are currently mocking the zombie like liberal sheeples who are participating in the Barack Obama cult of personality.[253][254][255] Message to Obama cultists: Get a life!
How long does it take evolutionists to admit Darwin was wrong? 150 years in the case of his claim that the appendix is a useless vestigial organ.[256] The appendix has a valuable role after all, but don't be surprised if most evolutionists still pretend they were never wrong.
"Stubborn charter school critics can't handle the truth."[257]
But the unionized Daily News can't handle and disclose the reason: it's because charter schools are free of the liberal teachers' unions.

"Facts are cooling off climate alarmism": "It’s an inconvenient time for world leaders to be speechifying about global warming — earlier this week at the United Nations, today and tomorrow at a G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh. The supposed certainty behind their push for new eco-regulation is melting faster than the Arctic ice. ... This month, a leading German user of these climate models predicted temperatures would fall for 'one or two decades' to come."[258]
"The commissioner of New Jersey's Department of Education ordered a review on Friday following the posting of a YouTube video depicting school children singing the praises of President Obama."[259]

Public School Students Indoctrination: A video surfaced of students singing songs of praise for the "great accomplishments" of comrade Obama. The Fox News story says B. Bernice Young Elementary School students in Burlington, New Jersey made the controversial video in June 2009. Have they already learned the Star Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful and God Bless America? [264]
And what's the difference between the above video and this one [265]? Or this one [266]?
The President says mandatory health insurance is "just like auto insurance;" so if you don't wish to pay premiums, stop driving. And if you don't wish to pay health insurance premiums, stop breathing. [267]
At least 15 senior al-Qaeda members have escaped from a prison in Tikrit, Iraqi officials said, with authorities locking down the city as they search for fugitives. [268]
In Honduras, crisis at embassy
Baton-wielding soldiers used tear gas and water cannons to chase away thousands who demonstrated outside the Brazilian embassy yesterday, leaving deposed President Manuel Zelaya and 70 friends and relatives trapped inside without water, electricity, or phones. “We know we are in danger,’’ Zelaya said during interviews with various media outlets. “We are ready to risk everything, to sacrifice.’’ [269]
Sarah Palin speaks to Asian investors in Hong Kong Sarah blamed the world financial crisis on government excesses and called for a new round of deregulation and tax cuts for U.S. businesses. "We got into this mess because of government interference in the first place," and "We're not interested in government fixes, we're interested in freedom." [270]
The liberal damage to our public schools continue, as they just have to make the Declaration of Independence politically correct: [271]
Deceitful liberals refuse to admit that temperatures are cooling: "Central Illinois experienced the seventh coldest summer on record with an average temperature of 71.1 degrees, 2 degrees below the normal average of 73.1 degrees. July was the coldest July on record, with an average temperature of 70.7 degrees, and August was the 10th coldest, with a 70.5-degree average." Wasn't Fall Already Here?
General Calls for More U.S. Troops to Avoid Afghan Failure
The top military commander in Afghanistan warns in a confidential assessment of the war there that he needs additional troops within the next year or else the conflict “will likely result in failure.”
The disclosure of details in the assessment, reported Sunday night by The Washington Post, coincided with new skepticism expressed by President Obama about sending any more troops into Afghanistan until he was certain that the strategy was clear. [272]
It's the leftist/liberal ideology - and not the Internet - that have caused a decline in newspaper sales and readership. Which is why, for example, that the Washington Times is doing fine, but not the Washington Post. But the same readers who rejected the ideology represented in the Post and many others are going to have to pay for that rejection...through another government bailout: [273]
The ACORN boss is now dodging some serious questions. Does she know a lot more than the attempted building of houses of prostitution? [274]
More liberal hypocrisy in the news: Michael Moore, who made his millions through capitalism, takes his anti-capitalism film on the road. Doesn't he want the rest of us to be rich through hard work, determination, and rugged individualism? [275]
Obama's $2 trillion in savings for his health care plan is more smoke and mirrors: [276]

Unsolicited gratitude from an attorney/mother/teacher whom we've never met: "I love Conservapedia, and was able to check a few things. I learned from you that the first [official] thanksgiving was to give thanks for the Constitution."
"The summer that never was ends Monday." In Michigan, summer temperatures have been the fifth coldest ever recorded.[280] But don't expect Al Gore to admit this, because it disproves the claim of global warming. Being a liberal means never having to admit deceit!
Liberal Democratic Senator Evan Bayh calls for a change in our "unsustainable fiscal path." Calling Obama's omnibus stimulus package a "spending bill," citing enormous increases in our budget deficit, and even commending President Kennedy's tax cuts to "stimulate growth," Bayh encourages Democrats to "do what is necessary to right the fiscal ship of state...." If "Barack Obama will choose the responsible course," "he will find kindred spirits in our party prepared to help," writes Bayh. Let's hope Bayh is more honest than ACORN! [281]
A Fox News ad has enraged the liberal media establishment. "How Did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN Miss This Story?" TEA Party! [282]

ACORN, brought low by voter fraud, brought down by video, is now facing a massive investigation, beginning with Louisiana: "All documents, records, agreements, and financial records detailing the theft of funds by Dale Rathke, including, but not limited to settlements, agreements, or other documentation detailing the agreement between Dale Rathke and any ACORN affiliated company for Dale Rathke to repay funds …" Dale happens to be the brother of ACORN's president, and he's accused of embezzelment of close to a million dollars.

A suicidal atheist converts to Christ. [286] After Creation Ministries International article on atheism was published (their article is located HERE), a former atheist wrote to tell them the circumstances surrounding his new found faith in Christ.[287]
The US military has closed its largest jail in Iraq and released or handed to Iraqi authorities thousands of people it has held since the start of the war in 2003.
Camp Bucca, which lies in Iraq's southern desert near the border with Kuwait, was shut down on Thursday, as part of a move to dismantle the US' $300m-a-year detention programme. [288]
Liberals turn tail and run in the wake of damaging undercover videos. Democrats had defended and funded ACORN for years, but after release of these videos the Democratic-controlled "House voted 345-75 to strike ACORN funding."[289]
The Passing of a Pro-life Martyr More than 250 people gathered at the funeral of James Pouillon, Pro-life activist. He was killed September 11 protesting abortion outside a high school in Michigan. Pouillon's daughter said, "I want him to be remembered as a man who loved Jesus," and "It's not about my dad, it's about the cause [life] and it's about Christ." [290]
Under attack, but still the bedrock of this country...The United States Constitution was adopted 222 years ago today on September 17, 1787. [291]
Ronald Reagan once said that every day is the Fourth of July; for the Democrats, every day is April 15: Tax Day. And they show it every time they're voted into power, as Obama and the Democrats want to push the Cap and Trade bill on America, with an average tax hike of $1,761 per household. [292]
An Investor's Business Daily study found two of every three practicing physicians oppose ObamaCare. In addition, four of every nine doctors (45% or 360,000) would consider quitting or retiring if healthcare reform passes Congress. [293]
The liberal British press thinks it can salvage Obama by calling his critics racists.[294] "A white Congressman from the Deep South shouts, "You lie!" at the first black president ...." Maybe liberal race-baiting works in Britain, but nobody is fooled by it in America.
Conservapedia's Economics course -- the largest in the world for teenagers -- enters its third week. Economics and the Bible are two subjects about which liberals have deliberate ignorance. Even the most basic questions are greeted with blank stares.
Obama is working on passing a comprehensive immigration reform which would "legalize" the illegals in this country, to the sum of 12,000,000 people. Which means it's the backdoor way for illegals to take advantage of Obama's health care plan. Which means that Joe Wilson's "YOU LIE" shout during the president's speech in which he claimed illegals would not be part of his health care plan was right on target. [295]
"Charter school conference touts its growing successes"[296] Do you know why? Because charter schools avoid public school teachers' unions.[297] And of course the teachers' unions are fighting this in a self-serving manner, to the detriment of students.
Count on ACORN to steal your money, denigrate the poor, evade the taxman, and laugh at the rest of us:[298] And maybe even get away with MURDER, as one ACORN worker confesses to doing exactly that, right down to the concocted claim of "self-defense": [299]
And the major media outlets ignore it, as usual. Why? Because ACORN is a liberal organization! [300]

The World's Irony Meters Break: President Barack Hussein Obama Praises Islam as 'Great Religion'. The President also said Islam is "part of America," hails the religion's "commitment to justice and progress", and praised American Muslims for enriching the nation's culture at a White House dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Does President Obama really think "Honor Killings", stoning people and cutting off hands is "progress"? [301]
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid gave an unusually blunt assessment of the impact Sen. Edward Kennedy's death will have on the Obamacare debate: "I think it's going to help us," the Nevada Democrat told the Reno Gazette-Journal. [302]
"State lawmakers in Democrat-dominated Connecticut raised income taxes ... and borrowed more than $1 billion .... While a minority Republican legislator spoke on the floor late into the night yesterday, what were his Democrat colleagues doing? Playing solitaire on their computers." [303] Photo proves it.
Chew on this liberals, conservatives are throwing the congressional bums out of office in 2010. A Rasmussen survey shows that 43% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while only 36% would opt for Democrats. Would that have something to do with Obama's policies? [304]
Massachusetts. Switch saves immigrants’ health care. Thousands of legal immigrants facing steep cuts in state-subsidized health care will keep core medical services such as routine doctor visits and hospital treatment under a plan unveiled yesterday by Governor Deval Patrick. The initiative, which also includes prescription drugs, mental health services, and emergency care, salvages coverage for 31,000 immigrants considered to be especially vulnerable because of their low income and their status as refugees who have lived in the United States less than five years. [305]
Liberals share two common traits: they are ignorant about the Bible, and they are ignorant about Economics. Fortunately, the second flaw is easily cured: join the world's biggest Economics Class for teenagers. We start Thursday.
Republican "Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire ... is warning that he has lots of objections ready if Democrats try to push a health care bill through the Senate with a simple majority. Democrats might need to resort to the procedural maneuver, known as reconciliation, because with Kennedy's seat vacant, they control 59 votes -- one shy of what is needed to overcome potential filibusters."[306]
"August Ends With Near-Record Cold." In Chicago, "the record low for Aug. 31 is 47 degrees, set in 1872. Overnight Sunday into Monday, the nippy readings were close, and in some areas even lower."[307] Add this to the list of liberal denials, as none will admit we're suffering from global cooling.
Glenn Beck is the target of Obama's Stalinist holocaust deniers. [308]
"Regardless of what happens with the [Massachusetts] law, the race for Kennedy’s seat will turn into a 'mad scramble,' said Paul Watanabe, political science professor at the University of Massachusetts in Boston." [309] Ted Kennedy held that seat since 1962, accomplishing virtually nothing in 47 years. His most-cited "achievement" was for No Child Left Behind, when he interfered with President George W. Bush's reform initiative for public schools.
The release of the Lockerbie bomber - who killed 270 people in 1988 - was directed from the highest levels of the leftist-controlled British government. And remember: it's always the liberal left which says that the conservative right does the bad things for oil! [310]
Senator Harry Reid makes a veiled threat to a Las Vegas newspaper. Too bad for Reid: the newspaper isn't going to sit back and take it. [311]
Disney indoctrinating youths into the Global Warming scam. Disney's biggest stars have come together to promote climate change. Friends For Change wants your kids to pledge that they will help save the planet. So far 350,000 kids have pledged to turn-up the thermostat to reduce CO2 emissions. [312]
"Now that we have been treated to several days' worth of endless praise from the talking morons of the mainstream media concerning the virtues of Ted Kennedy, it's time to get back to reality. ... Information has been uncovered which shows that Kennedy should have been arrested for treason. ... After the demise of the old Communist Soviet Union, Russian President Boris Yeltsin ordered that all top secret archives from the regime be opened to the public. London Times reporter Tim Sebastian poured through those documents in 1991 and discovered, much to his surprise, a memorandum from the head of the KGB to then-Soviet President Yuri Andropov, dated 1983. ... Kennedy had offered to help the Communist President fight the American President, Ronald Wilson Reagan." [313]
Barack Obama, displaying the seemingly never-ending liberal fixation on pleasing Russia has abandoned plans to install a missile defense system in Europe, according to a report. If true, this is a major strategic error that will have serious consequences for our allies in Europe, (like Poland and the Czech Republic) and for us. To leftists like Obama, defending America and our allies is "war mongering", capitulating to dictators and leftist regimes is "statesmanship". [314]
The good news; Abortion will be a thing of the past. The bad news; it will end due to Islam's growing presence. Watch the powerful video Changing Demographics.
"Liberal icon and former New York governor Mario Cuomo has openly criticized Barack Obama’s prioritizing health care reform over fixing the American economy."[315] However, Mario may merely be positioning his son Andrew for a run against the unpopular Obama-supported incumbent Governor of New York. Liberals care most about the "power" of holding office.
Kennedy's body was buried in the Arlington National Cemetary Virginia, near his brother, the assassinated former president John F. Kennedy. [316]
The real Edward M. Kennedy: deal-making with the Soviets behind Reagan's back: [317]
The President of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank says the real unemployment rate is 16%, not the 9.4% rate put out by the Fed as Obama propaganda. "If one considers the people who would like a job but have stopped looking -- so-called 'discouraged workers' -- and those who are working fewer hours than they want, the unemployment rate would move from the official 9.4 percent to 16 percent", said Atlanta Fed chief Dennis Lockhart. [318]
"Prayer offered for Kennedy at Capitol" by the chaplain for the House of Representatives: "Lord, You knew his hopes were unquenchable, full of immortality. You knew his strengths and his limitations. He knew You, Lord."[319] A bit odd, isn't it, to have a government-sponsored prayer for a liberal champion of the censorship of classroom prayer? Why isn't the ACLU objecting to this prayer? Because liberals have double standards.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney describes President Obama's criticism and probe of the CIA interrogation techniques "as an 'outrageous political act' that is sure to weaken national security and endanger lives."[320] "Reports indicate that Director of Intelligence Leon Panetta was angry and may ultimately resign over the investigation, which he had vigorously fought against."
The world's largest Economics course for teenagers starts this Thursday. Our in-person enrollment has broken the prior record set in 2007.
More pathetic liberal media bias: "ABC Buries Harsh Kennedy Obit, One That Labels Him a 'Failure,' in the Middle of the Night"[321]
Newly Amended By Liberals, An Ominious Senate Bill Would Give President Obama Emergency Control Of The Internet, Allow Him To Block Businesses and Individuals. The new legislation allows the President to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" according to an excerpt published online -- a broad license that rights experts worry would give the president "amorphous powers" over private users. Details of the revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 show the bill would give the President a "kill switch" on the Internet and allow him to shut out private networks and individuals from online access. [322], [323]
Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer observes, "It is up to God to judge Senator Kennedy's soul. We, as rational persons, must judge his actions, and his actions were not at all in line with one who values and carefully applies Church teaching on weighty matters. Ted Kennedy's positions on a variety of issues have been a grave scandal for decades, and to honor this "catholic" champion of the culture of death with a Catholic funeral is unjust to those who have actually paid the price of fidelity. We now find out that President Obama will eulogize the Senator at his funeral, an indignity which, following on the heels of the Notre Dame fiasco, leaves faithful Catholics feeling sullied, desecrated and dehumanized by men who seem to look for opportunities to slap the Church in the face and do so with impunity simply because they have positions of power."[324]
Bombshell disclosure: it was Ted Kennedy who kept voters from stopping same-sex marriage in Massachusetts. Marc Solomon writes, "Our opponents needed the votes of only 25 percent of the legislature to advance a citizen-led amendment to the ballot. We had lined up two-thirds of the legislature .... But getting those last 15 legislators-those conservative Democrats from working class Massachusetts communities and a few libertarian-leaning Republicans-was very tough. ... We needed Ted Kennedy. 'Could you get me a list of your targets?' one of Kennedy’s key staffers finally asked me. 'Don’t tell anyone I’m asking you for this,' he said. He meant it, and I didn’t." (Bay Windows, Aug. 27, 2009).

Another study confirms abortion directly linked to breast cancer [325]
Yet Another Liberal Lie Demolished: That George W. Bush tried to avoid serving in Vietnam. It turns out that CBS producer Mary Mapes had known prior to the airing of the September 8 2004 Dan Rather Smear Segment that President Bush, while in the Texas Air National Guard, volunteered for service in Vietnam but was turned down in favor of more experienced pilots. Instead of just simply telling the truth, the Mainstream Media was more interested in destroying George W. Bush while protecting a notorious liar in the sorry episode which has since been called Rathergate. Is anyone really surprised? [326]
A Meager 4% of Israelis Think President Obama is Pro-Israel. Efforts to improve U.S.-Israeli ties have apparently not improved Obama's reputation in Israel, and in fact his numbers have gone down. The survey, conducted by the Jerusalem Post, found that more than half, 51%, considered the Obama Administration to be more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israeli. Obama's numbers are the lowest of any previous U.S. President. [327] Evidently, Mr. Obama isn't fooling the Israelis either.
"Judge Orders Homeschooler into Public School for Being Too Religious." The judge held that "it is clear that the home schooling Ms. Voydatch has provided has more than kept up with the academic requirements of the Meredith public school system," but the objection was to the student's "rigidity on questions of faith".[328]
Study: Obamacare Reform Mandate Will Punish Employers, Kill Jobs. A provision in President Obama's health care reform plan that requires businesses to offer health insurance to their workers or face a federal tax would cost employers at least $49 billion dollars a year, putting 5.2 million employees at risk of unemployment or underemployment, according to a new study. [329] / [330]
ABC's John Stossel did a report on Government Health Care that reveals the shocking truth of what it would mean for Americans. You can watch it here because ABC has "rescheduled"/delayed its airing several times now. He points out that Canadians wait an average of 23 hours when they go to an Emergency Room. A CT Scan takes a month to obtain. Stossel points out Obamacare will lead to people dying while they wait, effectively saving the government money.
The Liberal ABC and NBC Networks Refuse To Air Ad Critical of Obamacare. The 33-second [ad] by the League of American Voters, which features a neurosurgeon who warns that a government-run health care system will lead to the rationing of procedures and medicine, tells the truth and it highlights one of the biggest vulnerabilities with the Obamacare legislation, which is it rations health care and disproportionately will decimate the quality of health care for seniors. The refusal to air is particularly disturbing in light of ABC's pro Obamacare health care special that aired in prime time last June and was hosted at the White House. [331] In addition, ABC has blocked the airing of John Stossell's 20/20 episode about Government-run healthcare], see above story.

Shock Waves From the Google Bombs: Recent court cases suggest that a new level of accountability, largely missing from personal blogs and online forum postings, is in the offing. "What you type today can haunt you tomorrow," says Sue Scheff. "People need to know that if you use your mouse and keypad to harm others, there is a price tag." [333]

Did Attorney General Eric Holder know - or even care - that most of the passengers on Pan Am Flight 103 were Americans? His hand may have been at work behind the scenes to get the terrorist who murdered every passenger on board that aircraft and 11 people in Lockerbie, Scotland released:[335]
Ted Kennedy said, in voting against saving the life of Terri Schiavo, "I'm not sure what Mr. DeLay meant when he said, 'The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior.'"[336] We trust Ted Kennedy understands now.
The late Edward Kennedy did indeed have a profound affect on millions of Americans:
- millions who were aborted, and their mothers hurt, due to Kennedy's pro-abortion policies
- millions who cannot read, due to Kennedy's excluding real choice from No Child Left Behind
- millions who lack health insurance, due to Kennedy's gutting MSAs by limiting insurance deduction levels
- millions who depend on government programs to survive, due to Kennedy's tax-and-spend socialism
May the Lord be merciful with his soul.
