It is one of the most important national holidays of both Australia and New Zealand.

Conservapedia salutes the sacrifices our Kiwi and Aussie cousins have made to preserve freedom!


Scale model of Noah's ark

Promising Noah's ark sighting report awaits confirmation: According to the Creation Ministries International website article Is it Noah's Ark?:

"On Sunday 25 April, a press conference was held in Hong Kong at 11 am local time, at the large concrete full-size Ark replica on the way to the airport. A local Christian organization, The Media Evangelism Ltd, announced that they had accessed and filmed an extremely interesting item 4,200 metres (14,000 ft) up on Ararat in an extremely dangerous and hard-to-access area.

Buried in ice and rock, (well above the treeline) they were able to tunnel down and enter and film about seven accessible rooms (there were more) constructed out of what clearly appeared to be wood, including small doorways, a shelf, beams with pegs, and more.

As more information becomes available over the next few days, we should be able to flesh out some of these details, including more on the history of the find."[2]

Arizona Immigration Bill Signed - Law makes it a crime to be in U.S. illegally, requires police to ask suspected illegals about immigration status.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed into law a controversial bill that seeks to crack down on illegal immigration. The sweeping measure will make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It will also require local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the country illegally. Barack Obama strongly opposed this measure. Given his own circumstances (the millions given to his campaign by amnesty and illegal immigrant groups), not a surprise. Obama seeks to circumvent Arizona's action by federal law. [16]


Christian Theologian on Earth Day: ‘Climate Change Is the Totalitarian’s Dream Come True’.

The teachers union in New Jersey is having a complete meltdown over Governor Chris Christie's fiscal policies. In an obnoxious display of liberalism, they have resorted to all sorts of childish ridiculing and obscenity-laced name calling. All this because they are unwilling to give concessions on a pay freeze to help the state's finances. Teacher union members work just 180 days of the year, most have free health benefits and yearly wage increases. [30]


Steam locomotive.jpg

The Conservapedia Anti-abortion Project is picking up steam. Conservapedia has started to make phone calls to the pro-life community and there appears to be some interest in contributing to the Conservapedia Anti-abortion Project.

Conservapedia encourages members of its pro-life audience to consider contributing to the project. It certainly appears as if your pro-life/anti-abortion content could reach a very wide audience. Conservapedia wishes to go full steam ahead on this exciting project.


It appears as if both the political left and the political right are beginning to perceive the atheist and evolutionist Richard Dawkins as a "clown". The Huffington Post and the Canadian publication the National Post have both referred to Richard Dawkins as a "clown" recently.

Conservapedia is considering adding material to its Richard Dawkins article in order to incorporate the growing perception among the public that Dawkins is a clown. Dawkins certainly has a penchant for engaging in publicity stunts, yet in far too many cases he fails to provide the public with anything of real importance and substance.

"I shared with them their suffering, and emotionally prayed with them, assuring them of church action," Benedict said. [37]


Defeat Almost Assured for Barbara Boxer in California. A White House official says President Barack Obama will return, once again, to California next month to help raise money for Democratic Senator Boxer and other liberal candidates. With Obama's track record, who in their right mind would want his help? [38]


Conservapedia is currently exploring gaining a key editor for the Conservapedia Anti-abortion Project much like it did for its intelligent design article. Conservapedia has in mind a good friend of one of the Conservapedia administrators who has a history of being involved in the pro-life movement. A good general can certainly make a difference in various battles of the culture war and Conservapedia may soon have its George S. Patton for the Conservapedia Anti-abortion Project!

If you want to be a General Dwight D. Eisenhower or General Douglas MacArthur involved in the Conservapedia Anti-Abortion Project, sign up to be a Conservapedia editor and start editing! And of course, Conservapedia is also looking for a Joan of Arc and a Deborah for this project as well!

The four felony charges—identity theft, wire fraud, intentionally accessing Palin's e-mail account without authorization and obstructing an FBI investigation—carry a maximum total sentence of 50 years.

The United Nations has quietly upped this year's peacekeeping budget for earthquake-shattered Haiti to $732.4 million, with two-thirds of that amount going for the salary, perks and upkeep of its own personnel, NOT residents of the devastated island.

Meanwhile, God continues to sit securely on His throne.

Air space in countries including Britain, France, Germany, and the Netherlands — home to Europe's largest airports — have been closed for days, stranding millions of people. [57] Translation: on the verge of an election, Brown is trying to rescue himself.

The atheist community at YouTube demonstrates the utter futility and weakness of the atheism. Belief in God is once again triumphant. Conservapedia has learned that Christian channels at YouTube are systematically being shut down at YouTube through false copyright claims. Recently, the popular Christian YouTube channel JezuzFreek777 was shut down through false copyright claim notices.VIDEO

Conservapedia is not aware of any widespread denunciation of the Christian channels being shutdown among the leading atheism channels at YouTube. It appears as if many atheists understand the weakness of the atheism and feel the atheist community needs to resort to dirty censorship tactics. One Christian declares on his YouTube channel, "Destroy this YouTube account, and in three days I will raise up another one just like it. AMEN."[68]


J.D. Hayworth continues to gain ground against John McCain in Arizona: "A Rasmussen Reports polls released Friday says McCain is leading his primary challenger 47 percent to 42 percent." [69]

Airline Flight Disruptions in Europe Get Even Worse. Eurocontrol, the European air traffic agency, said there would be no relief today from the massive flight disruptions that have upended travel in Europe and reverberated throughout the world due to the huge volcanic eruption in Iceland.

Hundreds of thousands of air travelers have been stranded or forced to cancel business and holiday travel.

A middle school teacher in Oregon who announced his intention "to dismantle and demolish the Tea Party" on his "Crash the Tea Party" Web site is under investigation by his state's Teacher Standards & Practices Commission. He has said he would seek to embarrass Tea Partiers by attending their rallies dressed as Adolf Hitler, carrying signs bearing racist, sexist and anti-gay epithets, and acting as offensively as possible — anything short of throwing punches. Classy. Most likely belongs to a Internet vandal site as well. UPDATE: The "teacher" has been placed on administrative leave with pay until his school district finishes its investigation and decides his fate. [79]


A Judge Too Far (Left): Barack Obama's nominee for the Federal Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, suggests the sort of nominee we may expect for the Supreme Court.  His Appeals Court nominee is guided by the critical studies paradigm of justice, notoriously advocated by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: all that counts is, not what the Constitution says, but who has the power to impose his social and political views. [80]


Nat Day Of Prayer2-wikimedia.jpg

The National Day of Prayer, Honored in the United States For More Than 50 years, Is "Unconstitutional" !

A liberal federal judge in Wisconsin has ruled in a 66-page opinion issued Thursday. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb said the holiday violates the "establishment clause" of the First Amendment, which creates a separation of church and state.

Flag of Germany.JPG

Google Germany ranks the Conservapedia evolution article #8 out of 52,400,000 search results for the search "theory of evolution" as can be seen HERE. It appears as if some Germans acknowledge that Adolf Hitler was a staunch evolutionary racist. The infamous Dr. Josef Mengele was a staunch evolutionary racist as well.


Evolutionists admit what Creationists stated from the start: recently unearthed fossil is no missing link. As usual, evolutionary explanations have to grow more unwieldy to try to cope with the new discovery. "This fossil has been surrounded by the standard overhype we've come to expect from those on a campaign to evangelize for Darwin." [87]


After popular Attorney General Richard Blumenthal jumped into the race to succeed Senator Chris Dodd, Democrats in Washington immediately crossed the Connecticut seat off their list of ones to worry about. But signs of trouble have quickly emerged. He flopped in his first televised debate against an obscure primary opponent, and appears almost incapable of offering concise answers to even the most predictable questions, like why he is running for the Senate. Some Democrats are calling him "Martha Coakley in pants." [88]


In a rebuke to the Republican establishment, retiring Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) endorsed Rand Paul Wednesday in the Kentucky GOP Senate primary over Trey Grayson. [89]


Obamacare 2.jpg

Obamacare Law Continues To Stir More Opposition. New poll finds more now opposed to Obama's overhaul than before he signed the bill — a clear indication it has become a liability for Democrats. A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds Americans oppose the health care remake 50 percent to 39%. Before a divided Congress finally passed the bill and Obama signed it at a jubilant White House ceremony last month, public opinion was about evenly split. Disapproval for Obama's handling of health care also increased from 46 percent in early March before he signed the bill, to 52 percent currently—a level not seen since last summer's angry town hall meetings. [90]

It appears it may not take much for Conservapedia to expand its influence concerning the evolution issue on the American portion of the internet. Conservapedia is considering expanding its collection of articles that address the creation vs. evolution issue. In addition, Conservapedia is also considering expanding its content that addresses the creation vs. evolution controversy in the United States. Bing USA already ranks the Conservapedia in its top 10 search results for the search result "evolution" as can be seen HERE.


Liberals in Congress are like liberals in school: they try to censor conservative speech.[92]


Americans are now pretty evenly divided about whether they would rather have Barack Obama or George W. Bush in the White House. 48% prefer Obama while 46% say they would rather have the old President back. [93] Pit maverick Republican Congressman Ron Paul against President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 election match-up, and the race is – virtually dead even. [94]


RINO-turned-pro-abort Mark Parkinson, Governor of Kansas, hints that he will veto a pro-life bill on Thursday. [95] But Parkinson has so little chance of being re-elected that he's not even running, and the legislature may have enough votes to override a veto. Pro-lifer Sam Brownback will win that seat in November.

Obama Foreclosure Aid Leaves Millions Out In The Street. The Congressional Oversight Panel says in a report released Wednesday that the Obama administration projects only one million families will end up with lower monthly payments as a result of the program. The report says six million families are more than two months behind with their payments, and 200,000 more families receive foreclosure notices each month. A year and a half after launching the program, "Treasury is still fighting to get its foreclosure programs off the ground," Elizabeth Warren, who heads the independent panel set up by Congress, told reporters Tuesday. [102]

FROM NEW DEAL TO BAD DEAL: Government as the Fourth Bubble. "The next few days offer an appropriate time to reassess government as something we, in effect, purchase through our taxes. April 15th is an obvious date because it is the annual day when income taxes are due. April 18th is equally important because it will be the 235th anniversary of American militia firing “the shot heard round the world” when they stood up to British professional soldiers at Concord and Lexington and drove them back into Boston." Read on....


"Commission: Title IX interpretation unnecessarily hurts men's sports" [103] No kidding: many hundreds of men's sports teams have been eliminated due to mindless equality demanded by feminists, requiring schools to equate sports participation by gender to class enrollment by gender, even though men are more interested in sports than women. Undeterred, feminists and the feminist-controlled NCAA criticize the Commission's report.

Real personal income for Americans - excluding government payouts such as Social Security - has fallen by 3.2 percent since President Obama took office in January 2009, according to the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis. "This is hardly surprising," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, an economist and former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. "Under President Obama, only federal spending is going up; jobs, business startups, and incomes are all down. It is proof that the government can't spend its way to prosperity." [110]

U.K.'s Conservative Party Vows Quick Action To Cut Deficit. Britain's opposition Conservative Party promised on Tuesday to take urgent action to cut the budget deficit to safeguard the country's top-notch credit rating if it wins the parliamentary election on May 6th. Their manifesto included support for public sector workers to set up cooperatives, establishing elected overseers of police forces, and giving local communities the power to veto tax rises and the right to bid to run services provided by the state. Polls show they are leading the Labour Party by 7%. [111]

Andy Stern, president of the 2.2-million member Service Employees International Union, plans to quit halfway through his term, betraying his supporters. Stern is one of nation's most politically powerful—and polarizing—union leaders, is one of President Barack Obama's closest political allies and a major force in Democratic liberal politics. His union spent at least $60 million to help Obama win the presidency and millions more on House and Senate races around the country. Perhaps Stern plans to put all those millions donated to use by being appointed by Obama to a big political job? [112]

Ignorance On The Left: Liberal-progressives, almost universally, misuse the terms Nazi and Nazism as "terms of opprobrium freely, and incorrectly, applied to anyone who questions or opposes liberal-progressive-socialism." [122] The name Nazi, apparently unknown to liberal-progressives, is a contraction of the full party name, National Socialist German Workers Party. Nazism, in short, is simply one of several varieties of socialism, the ideological faith of liberals. Why this misuse of the words Nazi and Nazism? Read on and the truth will set you free! [123]


French President Nicolas Sarkozy is widely quoted referring to Barack Obama as "possibly insane." He has the same concerns as many American's -- "Obama is dangerous and has an unwillingness to listen to either reason or logic." [124]


Leading Republicans hint that they will filibuster an unacceptable nomination by Obama to the U.S. Supreme Court: "The Judiciary Committee's ranking Republican, Sen. Jeff Sessions (Ala.), said that whether the GOP filibusters Obama's eventual nominee is up to the president. Echoing his Republican colleagues, Sessions warned that if the pick does not fall within the mainstream, 'every power should be utilized to protect the Constitution.'" [125]


66% Say U.S. Is Overtaxed. And it's not the rich saying that. Lower income voters are more likely than others to believe the nation is overtaxed. Among those who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement, 96% believe the nation is overtaxed, and only 1% disagree. These figures help explain why candidate Barack Obama promised to cut taxes for 95% of all Americans during Election 2008. Currently, only 8% believe their taxes will be cut during the Obama presidency, while 46% expect a tax hike. [126]

The issue came to light last year when the commission ruled that, under the Maine Human Rights Act, a school had discriminated against a 12-year-old transgender boy by denying him access to the girls' bathroom. Now Maine is proposing to ban schools from enforcing gender divisions in sports teams, school organizations, bathrooms and locker rooms. It says forcing a student into a particular room or group because of his or her biological gender amounts to discrimination. [144]

I own Washington and there's nothing you can do about it,"' Gingrich said. He urged his fellow Republicans to stop what he called Obama's "secular, socialist machine. He said Obama's policies -- particularly health care and economic stimulus legislation -- have put the United States on the road to socialism. [150]


Obama: Palin's No Expert on Nuclear Strategy. Obama, dropping precipitously in the polls with over half the country demanding repeal of his Obamacare scam and frightened of her massive popularity, lashed out sharply at Sarah Palin, saying "Last I checked, Palin's not an expert on nukes," Obama told ABC News. "If the secretary of defense and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are comfortable, I'll take my advice from them and not Sarah Palin." All this is begging the question as to exactly what experience President Obama has.... [151]

There is seemingly endless bad news for Barack Hussein Obama.
Two weeks after President Obama signed the new Obamacare bill, opposition to it remains strong. In addition, the president’s legislative victory did not help his job approval rating, which hit a new low in a Fox / Opinion Dynamics poll released today. The poll also finds more voters would punish rather than reward incumbents who voted for the health care bill, and that the Democratic win in Congress did nothing to energize the party faithful for the midterms. President Obama’s overall job approval rating dropped to a new low of 43%. Nearly half—48% -- disapprove. In mid-March, it was 46-48 percent. His current rating among Democrats (80 percent) and independents (38 percent) are among his lowest ratings with these groups. He is now in single digits among Republicans, 7%. By comparison, former President George W. Bush’s approval among Democrats went as low as 4%. [153]

Sixty-seven percent say the news media have too much power and influence over government decisions. [158]

Obama Economic Adviser Says U.S. Should Consider National Sales Tax! Acknowledging it would be a highly unpopular move, White House economic adviser Paul Volcker said Tuesday the United States should consider imposing a "value-added tax" similar to those charged in Europe to help get the deficit under control. He also said that Congress might also have to consider new taxes on carbon and energy like Obama's proposed Cap and Trade legislation. "It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Obama White House would advocate a European-style tax to help finance their European-style government "Obamacare" plan," said Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee.

R.I.P.: The developer of the first affordable personal computer, Henry Edward Roberts, has died at age 68. He was the first to employ Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who later licensed work that Roberts felt belonged to him. Subsequently, Microsoft's monopoly destroyed Netscape, and by overcharging built a fortune later used to buy a "chair" for atheist Richard Dawkins and liberal approaches to education.
Roberts eventually became a physician to help patients, graduating first in his medical school class.

A recent study shows a major weakness in secularist ideology. According to recent research by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, in the United States, a majority of those surveyed who were raised in atheist or agnostic households, or where there was no specific religious attachment, later chose to join a religious faith.[198][199] The YouTube video producer Shockofgod cites the Conservapedia atheism article concerning the weakness of secularistic and atheistic thinking.[200] Perhaps, this is why the prominent atheist Richard Dawkins has declined so many debate offers from intellectuals on the theism side of the aisle. The YouTube producer Shockofgod recently highlighted how cowardly The Atheist Experience television show is for not allowing theist guests on their show.[201] Conservapedia could carve out of a banana an ideology with more backbone than atheism!

Instead of recognizing Good Friday—the most solemn day of the year for one-third of the world and an official holiday -- Google features a tribute to a frivolous 205th birthday.


Lent Season.jpg

Today is Good Friday.

Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday. On this day Christians commemorate the Passion of Christ, or suffering, and death on the Cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the act that brought salvation to all who believe. Many Christians spend this day in fasting, prayer, repentance, and meditation on the agony and suffering of Christ on the cross:

Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

He propelled minority students in California to the highest levels of performance in calculus, but untold by Hollywood is how the liberals then ostracized him and drove him back to Bolivia. [212]


Looking increasingly like a RINO, NJ Governor Chris Christie's approval rating drops precipitously to 43% after he suspends tax rebates and one of his liberal nominations is returned to committee. [213]

Liberals Bullying Obamacare Foes? The CEOs of some of the country's biggest companies are being summoned to Washington by Congressman Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, to defend claims that the health care reform law would cost them millions—a move Republicans say amounts to intimidation. Since when did it become acceptable to force citizens to defend their concerns before a government tribunal? [216]


More false hope and doublespeak from Obama, new plans for offshore oil drilling. His plan is defined more by what it restricts and opens the door to more taxes on the American people. [217] [218]


With the liberal left, it's all about the money: New York Times columnist Paul Krugman chimes in on the "death panels" that are a part of Obamacare..."The advisory panel which has the ability to make more or less binding judgments on saying this particular expensive treatment actually doesn't do any good medically and so we are not going to pay for it. That is actually going to save quite a lot of money." [219]


Liberal British politicians pathetically try to make the Climategate scandal go away with a 60-page report that reinterprets the term "trick" and the phrase "hide the decline" in an email by Professor Phil Jones. [220] But "MP Graham Stringer, widely recognized for insightful questioning of Jones at the Parliamentary Inquiry, voted against acceptance of the Parliamentary Inquiry report, against the inclusion of the Summary and against a number of individual items." [221] The media ignore Graham Stringer's analysis altogether. [222]

Once Again, What is Socialism?
The Commonly Used Liberal Definition Is Wrong.
News reporters, editorialists, academics, and liberal-progressive politicians generally deny that the Obama administration is socialistic. Socialism, they say, is a political state in which the government owns the means of production and distribution of goods and services. That definition is confuted by the earliest theoretical writings on socialism. In France, Henri de Saint-Simon, in the first decades of the 1800s, and his pupil and colleague Auguste Comte, in the 1820s and 30s, along with Robert Owen contemporaneously in England, stated that the essential feature of what Owen called socialism is government regulation of the means of production and distribution.

Sallie Mae Blames 2,500 Layoffs on Obama's Student Loan "Overhaul". "This legislation will force Sallie Mae to reduce our 8,600-person workforce by 2,500," Conwey Casillas, Vice President of Sallie Mae Public Affairs, said in a statement to Fox News. Sallie Mae has been outspoken in its opposition to the plan, calling it a "government takeover" just last month. Another 2,500 jobs gone. [225]

CNN and MSNBC continued its huge plunge in ratings for its prime-time programs in the first quarter of 2010 even as Fox News had its best period ever. [227]


Hard-hitting reality says, "It Was A Republic, But We Couldn’t Keep It." Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and gang have run America directly on this liberal path of socialism. But Americans refuse to lay down and accept their outcome. The article does not mention the type of candidates needed, but the people that support the principles of the Tea party are working for change the Founding Fathers intended. Never give up. [228]


Conservative Jon Runyan — "one of the NFL’s roughest, toughest players" — is on track to oust the Democratic incumbent in Congress. "So will he run a dirty campaign? 'I don’t know. We'll see how it goes,' he said, adding: 'I’m not saying no to it.'" [229]


NASA Data Worse Than Climategate Data, Space Agency Admits. NASA was able to put a man on the Moon, but the space agency can't tell you what the temperature was when it did. By its own admission, NASA's temperature records are in even worse shape than the besmirched Climate-gate data. [230]


The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) became the first medical society to sue to overturn the newly enacted health care bill. “Courts should not allow this massive intrusion into the practice of medicine and the rights of patients,” and “There will be a dire shortage of physicians if the PPACA becomes effective and is not overturned by the courts.” [231]


More than a dozen colleges in New England will exceed $50,000 for student tuition and fees this fall. [232] Professor values are expensive!


With Every Obama Intervention, Concerns Build Over Size of Federal Government.
Health care. The auto industry. Real estate. Wall Street. As the Obama administration increases regulation and pumps up taxpayer aid in these sectors and beyond, critics say the president is expanding the federal government to unprecedented levels. "This administration seems to want to bail out anybody who'll give it some votes. Chrysler, homeowners, whoever has an open hand," said Peter Morici, business professor at the University of Maryland. [233]


A new Mason Dixon poll shows that in Florida 54% oppose the passed health care bill, and among people over 65, that number rises to 65%, and also that 52% oppose President Obama. These numbers are especially bad for Sen. Ben Nelson, who only enjoys a 36% approval rating, dropping to 29% among seniors. Seniors are those who vote in highest percentages.

Achtung, Al Gore ! The Germans Are Giving Up On The Global Warming Scam.
German citizens are rapidly losing faith in global warming following the many Climate-gate scandals, according to a new report in Der Spiegel. The report indicates that just 42% of Germans are worried about global warming, down substantially from the 62% that expressed concern with the state of the environment in 2006. Many people have little faith in the information and prognosis of climate change researchers, news site The Local explained, with a third questioned in the survey not giving them credence. [234]


Arizona Rancher's Killing Sparks Calls to Beef Up Border Security.

The week after his inauguration, just 39% of voters felt that way. [237]


9 Charged in Suicide of Bullied Teen Phoebe Prince. Nine teens have been charged in the "unrelenting" bullying of a teenage girl from Ireland who killed herself after being raped and enduring months of torment by classmates in person and online, a prosecutor said today.

"The 'Tea Party Express' was greeted by about 1,200 to 1,500 supporters as it rolled into Phoenix on Sunday, the third stop on a three-week, cross-country tour that ends in Washington, D.C., on April 15." [241] Obama was unable to fill an auditorium in Boston when he campaigned against Scott Brown.


Self-serving liberals exploit the upcoming election in the U.K. by disrupting the nation with national rail and airline strikes. As thousands are disrupted and hurt, the liberal Gordon Brown could cave in to save his own political skin. [242]


Los Angeles Unified School District officials and employee union announced an agreement to cut five days from this school year and seven days next year to keep up to 2,100 union jobs. The district, the second largest in the nation, is facing a $640-million deficit. Liberal public school boards always talk about being for education and the kids. Here their deceit clearly shows they are dedicated to labor unions. Schools should be adding days, not cutting them. More parents will now consider homeschooling where they can control their child's educational quality, not unions! [243]


The Vision Victory YouTube channel, which has had a better than average forecasting ability relative to the liberal mainstream Keynsian economists, has issued the following message: "ALERT! Treasury Yields Begin to Rise, U.S. Default by Inflation Inevitable".[244] It appears as if an economic python may be starting to wrap around the infamous ObamaCare and soon start slowly squeezing the life out of it.

Leading Intelligent Design advocate, Stephen Meyer, challenges Dr. Francisco Ayala, former President of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), to debate.[249] Will Dr. Ayala dodge this debate offer like Richard Dawkins dodges some of his prominent debate challengers? Conservapedia encourages members of the public to start a petition for Ayala to accept the Meyer intelligent design debate offer at Petition Spot. Message to Dr. Ayala: Conservapedia thinks it is time for you to come out of your intellectual bunny hole!


British liberals vote to end the "special relationship" with the U.S. [250] Then let's hope the Brits don't ask America to rescue it again from its next war, as we did in World War II.

Central Michigan University students participate in around-the-clock Bible reading: "We believe the Word of God has the power to transform lives and our hope through this event is to give our members a passion for the Bible like they've never had before, and to help others discover the joy that it can bring." [252] College students are not as liberal as the media pretend.

On This Day, March 28th :


ObamaCareSymbol.jpg

After the Senate passed a "fix-it" bill Thursday to make changes to the new Obamacare law, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana., chairman of the influential Finance Committee, said the overhaul was an "income shift" to help the poor. ""Too often, much of late, the last couple three years, the mal-distribution of income in American is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy and the middle income class is left behind," he said. "Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America." Socialist much, Senator Baucus? [253]


Another double standard by liberals: they complained loudly about how the Bush Administration conducted the war, but they're just fine with the Obama Administration expanding the use of drones to kill suspected targets. [254]
"US Troop Deaths Double in Afghanistan," but not a peep out of liberals about it. [255]


The hatred from Democrats was unstoppable when Republican Senator Jim Bunning held up unemployment benefits. In another case of liberal double standards, Congress goes on its scheduled two-week vacation without renewing jobless benefits for those out of work more than six months. No outrage from the lamestream media expected. [256]


Public school students walk out of class in support of ... the teachers' union?! It's because of teachers' unions that student sports and activities programs are cut, rather than teachers not receiving annual raises and lucrative pensions. The students are "pawns" of the union, NJ Gov. Chris Christie observed. [257]


Obama Makes "Stealth" Weekend Recess Appointments to Posts. Despite intense Republican objections, President Obama on Saturday used recess appointments to fill 15 administration posts without Senate confirmation, including Craig Becker, a top henchman with the corrupt SEIU (whose nomination was rejected by the Senate last month 52-43), to the National Labor Relations Board. [258]


Homosexual agenda strikes out again: Tarleton State University, a taxpayer-funded school, cancels its pro-gay, offensive play about Jesus. [259] How about building a hospital instead?
"Every citizen is entitled to the freedom of speech, but no one should have the right to use government funds or institutions to portray acts that are morally reprehensible to the vast majority of Americans," Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst observed. [260]


On the eve of the debate between conservative Marco Rubio and RINO Charlie Crist Sunday, a video surfaced showing that Crist supported abortion in 1998. [261] Trailing by over 20% now, why is the liberal Crist still in the race?


Conservative Rand Paul maintains his lead over the establishment candidate in the race for the Republican nomination to fill the seat held by retiring U.S. Senator Jim Bunning. [262]


The "leader of the liberal wing" of the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to announce his resignation soon, forcing a confirmation battle just months before the election. [263]
