Former Guantanamo Bay Detainee Now al-Qaeda Leader in Yemen
We now have a second story in two weeks exemplifying the dangers of President Obama’s decision to close Guantanamo Bay. As you may recall, a Defense Department spokesperson recently stated that 61 ex-GITMO detainees retuned to their terrorist ways upon being released. Now we get word that another ex-detainee, who, unsurprisingly is a Saudi, has [...]
Dutch Politician Geert Wilders Being Prosecuted for His Opinion
Our good friends in The Netherlands have apparently abandoned any semblance of free speech. They’re prosecuting a conservative MP, Geert Wilders, who made the important film Fitna, for essentially having a minority opinion: Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders made a controversial film last year equating Islam with violence and has likened the Koran to Adolf [...]
Republicans Pressuring Conservative Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) to Quit
The Republican Party, at least at the national level, is giving conservatives the finger. They are trying to force one of the most conservative members of the Party, Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning, to quit. Why? Because the higher-ups (read: liberals) in the Party aren’t sure Bunning can win re-election. That’s not why they want him [...]
“Objective” Journalist Gwen Ifill Titles Book After Obama, Holds Party on Inauguration
Remember Gwen Ifill? She moderated one of the Presidential debates during the campaign. It was reported on the morning of the debate that her new book would include a chapter on Barack Obama.

Joseph Lowery–Race Baiter
At President Barack Hussein Obama’s inauguration this afternoon, the so-called Reverend Joseph Lowery said the following: Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get [...]
Media Coverage of Obama’s Inauguration–An Example of the Government-Media Complex
The media’s, including Fox News, incessant coverage of President-elect Barack Hussein Obama’s inauguration over the weekend was absolutely frightening. Every channel. It was everywhere. You couldn’t get away from it. When the networks finally went to break we were visited by Montel Williams who was pedaling Barack Obama coins. If we weren’t blessed with the [...]
Bush Commutes Border Patrol Agents’ Sentences
Finally. President Bush, on his last full day in office, commuted the two prison sentences for U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. If you’re unaware of this story, here’s some background: Compean and Ramos, who have served about two years of their sentences, are expected to be released from prison within the [...]
Most Blacks Believe Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Vision Fulfilled
A new CNN-Opinion Research Corporation poll released today, MLK Day, finds that 69% of black believe that Dr. King’s goal of equal opportunity has been achieved. More than two-thirds of African-Americans believe Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for race relations has been fulfilled, a CNN poll found — a figure up sharply from a survey [...]
Just Call Him ‘President Nimrod’
The more things change, the more things stay the same. ~ George Bernard Shaw, “Revolutionist’s Handbook” (1903) Prologue As I view all of the cataclysmic world events of today and how society lurches towards Perdition, I am reminded of the august words of that magnificent playwright George Bernard Shaw who, quoting the French writer [...]
Bank of America Owned by the Federal Government
Thank you so much George W. Bush, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi et al. for the Troubled Asset Relief Program Foundation for Socialism in America Act. As a result of the Act the federal government is now the largest shareholder of Bank of America: Kenneth Lewis gambled on bold acquisitions to build Bank of America into the [...]
