Al Gore's Nobel Nomination Is No Joke. If he wins, he will be in the company of other laughable recipients:
These recipients include failed Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev (1990); Palestinian terrorist Yasir Arafat (1994); U.N. Secretary-General in charge of corruption Kofi Annan (2001) and the most incompetent American president of the 20th century, Jimmy Carter (2002).

Slippery slope: started with abortion, now this: Swiss May Expand Assisted Suicide Law; Cover Serious Mental Illnesses... (hint: proponents always deny there's a slippery slope). Next place to look: Vermont and child molesters. Their gleeful dismissal of these heinous criminals is a result of sexual permissiveness in our nation. Will equal rights for them be next? Never happen? That's what they said about just about every other perversion thats been normalized lately. They were wrong about that. They're wrong about this too. Don't kill mentally ill people simply for their illness. That's just down right slippery!

2006 cases that are likely to overshadow coming events in 2007:

1) Scheidler v. National Organization of Women, Inc. (February 21) – The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that anti-abortion protesters are not liable under federal racketeering statutes.

A resounding defeat for NOW and its allies in their decades-long effort to paint the Right to Life movement as a mafia-like organization.

2) Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights (March 7) – The Supreme Court ruled that institutions which accept government funding (including state universities) cannot compel private organizations – including student religious groups – to accept as members those who disagree with the group’s viewpoint.

In other words, state schools cannot use their own non-discrimination policies to undermine students’ Constitutional freedom of assembly, or to limit select groups’ access to university facilities.

3) Hernandez v. Robles (July 6) – The New York Court of Appeals struck down an effort to judicially redefine marriage in the state, saying the issue should be left to the legislature.

This decision – one of nine similar decisions issued in a three-month period last summer – dealt a stunning blow to those pushing for government-endorsed same-sex “marriage.”

The court affirmed that the only legal basis for government involvement in marriage is to provide the best possible environment for rearing children (future citizens), and endorsed the view that this “ideal environment” is most dependably found in a stable, loving, two-gender marriage.

4) Citizens for Equal Protection v. Bruning (July 14) – In Nebraska, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit reversed a district court decision that had declared unconstitutional a state amendment preserving marriage.

The court affirmed the legal interpretations of the New York decision, and found no reason to fabricate a federal right to same-sex “marriage.”

5) Andersen v. King County (July 26) – The Washington Supreme Court declared the state’s law defining marriage as “the union of one man and one woman” constitutional, reversing two lower court decisions.

The ruling, issued in the face of withering political pressure from those promoting the homosexual political agenda, over-rode the decisions of two activist judges who had tried to thwart the express will of Washington voters.

6) Sklar v. Clough (August 15) – A federal judge ordered Georgia Tech to repeal its extraordinarily restrictive speech code – and forbade the university to change its new student speech policy for the next five years without court approval.

A major breakthrough for free speech on America’s college campuses, where Christian and even conservative perspectives are often officially stifled in favor of an aggressive leftist agenda.

7) Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood (November 8) – A federal appeals court upheld federal protection for pro-life medical professionals who refuse to perform or refer for abortions.

In effect, the ruling scuttled the abortion activists’ contention that a doctor’s First Amendment rights are subordinate to a woman’s right to abortion.

8) Turton v. Frenchtown (December 11) – A federal court ruled in favor of an elementary student who’d been told by school administrators that she couldn’t sing a religious song for the school talent show. The court determined that excluding speech on the premise that it might be divisive or controversial constituted unlawful viewpoint discrimination.

In addition to these laudable decisions, several other rulings from last year bode more ominously for those who cherish civil liberties and, particularly, religious freedom:

1) Gonzales v. Oregon (January 17) – The Supreme Court affirmed a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, denying the U.S. Attorney General’s right to use the Controlled Substances Act to obstruct physician-assisted suicides, which had been legalized by Oregon voters in 1994.

The Supreme Court has twice ruled that there is no Constitutional right to suicide – and would likely welcome a better challenge to the Oregon law. This case wasn’t it.

2) Harper v. Poway Unified School District (April 20) – The 9th Circuit upheld a San Diego high school’s decision to prohibit a student from expressing his views regarding homosexual behavior on a T-shirt.

With this decision (now awaiting review by the Supreme Court), the 9th Circuit – a case study in unbridled judicial activism – ramped up its assault on the First Amendment.

3) Britain v. Carvin (May 15)– The U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear a case challenging a Washington State Supreme Court ruling that granted a third party the right to sue for parental rights – despite the objections of the child’s own biological mother and father.

The high court’s decision opened a deluge of so-called “psychological parenting” cases, in effect promoting same-sex “marriages” and – more incredibly – undercutting the traditional natural and legal authority of birth parents

4) Faith Center Evangelical Ministries v. Glover (September 20) – Another 9th Circuit debacle, with the Court ruling that a public library was within its prerogatives to ban a religious group from meeting in a room designated for public use.

A slap in the face to equal access, and a deliberate effort to gag freedom of religious expression and assembly.

I've finally discovered what they call "linkage" between the war in Iraq and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But, instead of seeing any connection between what goes on inside Iraq and that fraudulent "peace process" -- by which the one party wanting "peace" (Israel) is gradually destroyed by the other party using "process" (the Palestinians) -- I see linkage in the overall American approach to the two war zones. Our strategy is identical. In both cases, it is based on a complete and willful suspension of disbelief. It ignores all evidence to ward off reality.

Take a recent report from Fox News explaining why the Bush administration this week postponed the release of a dossier linking Iran to murder and mayhem in Iraq.

"U.S. military officials say the decision to go public with the findings has been put on hold for several reasons, including concerns over the reaction from Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- as well as inevitable follow-up questions that would be raised over what the U.S. should do about it."

There's so much wrong with this picture it's hard to know where to start. Surely it is Ahmadinejad who should be concerned about the reaction from the world's sole superpower to findings of Iranian complicity in American combat deaths, and not vice versa. Incredibly, the administration doesn't appear to think so.

Daniel Tammet is called "Brain Man" in Britain. But unlike most savants, he has no obvious mental disability, and most important to scientists, he can describe his own thought process. He may very well be a scientific Rosetta stone, a key to understanding the brain.

He describes numbers in shapes and colors and says, "pi is one of the most beautiful things in all the world."
He first made headlines at Oxford, when he publicly recited the endless sequence of numbers embodied by the Greek letter "Pi." Pi, the numbers we use to calculate the dimensions of a circle, are usually rounded off to 3.14. but its numbers actually go on to infinity.

Daniel studied the sequence – a thousand numbers to a page.

"And I would sit and I would gorge on them. And I would just absorb hundreds and hundreds at a time," he tells Safer.

It took him several weeks to prepare and then Daniel headed to Oxford, where with number crunchers checking every digit, he opened the floodgates of his extraordinary memory.

Tammet says he was able to recite, in a proper order, 22,514 numbers. It took him over five hours and he did it without a single mistake

House Republicans yesterday declared "something fishy" about the major tuna company in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district being exempted from the minimum-wage increase that Democrats approved this week.
"I am shocked," said Rep. Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican and his party's chief deputy whip, noting that Mrs. Pelosi campaigned heavily on promises of honest government. "Now we find out that she is exempting hometown companies from minimum wage. This is exactly the hypocrisy and double talk that we have come to expect from the Democrats."

GOVMNT REPORT ON SANDY BERGER CLASSIFIED DOC THEFT RELEASED...

Global warming scaremongers jumped on the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and the busy 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and went on to predict that 2006 would be a potentially devastating year of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.

As it was, not one single hurricane made landfall in the U.S.

If forecasters can't reliably tell us what will happen in two to three months from now, why would anyone trust that they know what will happen with the weather in 50 or 100 years from now and let them tell us how to live our lives accordingly?

This is all about Big Brother do-gooders trying to control how you live your life, and stripping away the freedoms and liberties of people to live their lives as they see fit, engage in commerce and raise their families.

Oh, and by the way, Saddam Hussein was executed the muslim way (that or be-heading) by muslims in Iraq, BY Iraqis. Hes was not tried or executed by the United States. Sunnis were looking for anything to complain about and would complain no matter what the outcome. Sounds like the liberal wing of our country. Coincidence?

If Hussein had been comdemned to life in prison, dicatators would all feel that they may have a chance to escape justice and possibly be sprung by people sympathetic to their cause. Democrats would acuse Bush of keeping him alive in order to torture him, and insurgents would be emboldened to try even harder to return him to power. Executing him was a good idea politically.

"Bi-Partisan Capitol Hill" promised by the Dem's turns out to be a shut-out.

Gore Compromised When National Security Is Concerned

oh, and........Algore made over 75 illegal phone calls to solicit contributions to the DNC from federal property yet Janet Reno refuses to investigate it further. Janet Reno launched another investigation of these phone calls. Note: soliciting campaign donations from federal property is illegal in America. Why does Algore get away with breaking the law?

On July 20, 1993, Vince Foster was discovered shot to death in a Virginia Park, just as the Clintons' Whitewater and Travelgate scandals had begun to heat up. Five federal investigations declared the death a suicide but never addressed substantial and compelling evidence contradicting that verdict.
Soon after such mysterious circumstances, his office was cleared out. Along with his office went the Whitewater billing records and several key pieces of evidence. Evidence suggests that Clinton associate Bernard Nussbaum purposely delayed access to the office to investigators. Not to mention the mysterious suicide in which there is some hint that evidence was tampered with. Witnesses have testified they saw Clinton aides clearing the supposedly sealed office.
Years after they had disappeared from Vince fosters office, subpoenaed Whitewater billing records appeared in the White House. In January of 1996 an aide stumbled across them sitting on a table in the White House. They couldn't have been sitting their all these years unnoticed. Hillary's finger prints were on them.

just remembered that Bush wasn't so bad as Clinton............

Judicial Watch, a public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, filed a formal request with the U.S. Department of Justice, calling for a criminal investigation into the reported activities of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and her brother, Anthony D. Rodham; former President Clinton, and Vonna Jo Gregory, former owner of the carnival company United Shows International.

Recently released court documents provided new details concerning a scheme involving Anthony Rodham, who allegedly received $107,000 in fraudulent loans from United Shows International as compensation for securing a presidential pardon for Gregory in 2000 from then-President Clinton.

On and on it goes..................

How do You Know if the Economy is Healthy?

I would like to see an index created to measure the true strength of the economy. It would work like this;

All economic articles appearing in the NYT are judged to report either positive economic news or negative economic news. Then, the page the article apears on is given a valu, with the front page equal to 1, next page 2, and so forth.

A positive article on the 4th page in is worth +4, a negative article on page one is worth -1. If these were the only two articles to appear in a given week, the economy would score a +3.

The further back positive economic news is, the more likely it is "true"., the further foward a negative article is, the more likely it is a "false" reading of the true status of the economy.

Call it the NYT economic lie index enumerator statisti, or NYTELIES

Americans Optimistic for 2007

Report Says Berger Hid Archive Documents

President Clinton's national security adviser removed classified documents from the National Archives, hid them under a construction trailer and later tried to find the trash collector to retrieve them, the agency's internal watchdog said Wednesday.

The report was issued more than a year after Sandy Berger pleaded guilty and received a criminal sentence for removing the documents.

Berger took the documents in the fall of 2003 while working to prepare himself and Clinton administration witnesses for testimony to the Sept. 11 commission. Berger was authorized as the Clinton administration's representative to make sure the commission got the correct classified materials.

"...perhaps the most glaring omission in the Iraqi Study Group’s report was their failure to identify the vitriolic propaganda campaign of the anti-war Progressive-Left as part of the problem."


Where the Iraq
Study Group starts to stray is in their assertion that the
Israeli-Palestinian issue is somehow related to the power
struggle currently taking place in Iraq. Unless I am ignorant to
the existence of a Jewish contingent in the newly formed Iraqi
government, introducing this conflict into the equation simply
complicates the matter. It creates opportunities for the less
than reputable insurgent factions to blame their continued acts
of violence on something that isn’t part of the immediate
problem.
The current difficulty in Iraq stems not from the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict
<http://www.newmedia journal.us/ staff/nsalvato/ 06162006. htm> but
from two existing clashes: the centuries old battle between the
Shi’ites and the Sunnis
<http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Historical_ Shi%27a-Sunni_ relations>
and the more recent radical Islamists’ struggle against the
West, namely the United States.

O Little Town of Bethlehem - how arafat got rid of the Christians

A Point of view I read from a group I belong to:

The real purpose behind the Flying Imam publicity blitz As I have pointed out many times now, the main purpose of the USAirways Imam Rage incident is to help push through legislation to outlaw religious profiling in airports, so that no matter how suspiciously a Muslim is behaving, officials will be able to do nothing. Now Katherine Kersten, who is doing marvelous work on this case for the Star-Tribune, has more on this as the goal of the whole incident. None other than the slick Mahdi Bray tells the Iranian Qur'an News Agency that Muslims want "new, broad-sweeping legislation that will extract even larger financial and civil penalties for any airline that participates in racial and religious profiling."

Interesting

Yesterday I spoke with a passenger on that flight, who asked that she be only identified as “Pauline.” A copy of airport police report, which I also obtained, supports Pauline’s account - and includes shocking revelations of its own. In addition, U.S. Airways spokeswoman Andrea Rader also confirmed much of what Pauline revealed…..

The passenger, who asked that she only be identified as “Pauline,” said she is afraid to give her full name or hometown. She is spending the night at “another location” because she does not feel safe at home. She credits reports that one imam is apparently linked to Hamas. “It is scary because these men could be dangerous.”

Pauline said she never wanted media attention. She wrote an email to U.S. Airways and cc:ed her daughter, who unexpectedly emailed it to her friends. As the letter took on an internet life of its own, it made its way to the inbox of a retired CNN executive producer. Then, to her dismay, the feeding frenzy began.

Pauline revealed to Pajamas Media that the six imams were doing things far more suspicious than praying - an Arabic-speaking passenger heard them repeatedly invoke “bin Laden,” and “terrorism,” a gate attendant told the captain that she did not want to fly with them, and that bomb-sniffing dogs were brought aboard. Other Muslim passengers were left undisturbed and later joined in a round of applause for the U.S. Airways crew. “It wasn’t that they were Muslim. It was all of the suspicious things they did,” Pauline said.

Now all the Dem's have to do is reverse course and convince us all (via CNN and the major three), that we need to stay in Iraq; all in such a way as to not let us remember that retreat/withdrawl is why we voted for them to begin with.
It will be status quo with a different party (read: fooled again).
Or it will be Fantasyland for terrorists in Iraq. Either way, the US gets the shaft.

*If Representative Murtha is selected to be the majority leader, it will be a clear sign that the new Congress has no intention of ending the culture of corruption
The race to be the No. 2 House Democratic leader turned nasty Tuesday, with challenger Rep. John Murtha accusing opponents of "swift-boat style attacks" that hark back to his days being investigated in the FBI's 1980 Abscam sting. Pelosi took a wrong turn in backing Murtha over her current deputy Rep. Steny Hoyer because Murtha's record is marred by ethics questions of the type Pelosi pledged to clean up in Congress.
So much for cleaning up Capitol Hill!!!!

It's obvious why the Republican's took such a beating: they drifted so far away the Reagan/Gingrich formula that rallied so much support back in the good ol' days. Pre-Reagan styles of governing are not popular with conservatives. They were punished not for pursuing but for forgetting conservatism. Ironically, the Dem's think their win this week is a mandate for change toward socialism. They (and the public that voted for them) will quickly learn their mistake.

Best joke of the day: Pelosi's Hometown Disputes Liberal Image...

Dem's lied, cheated and are the cause of global warming.
From day one of Bush's presidency, he tried to reach out in a bi-partisan manner to the other side of the aisle; only to be slapped in the face at every turn. This was a concerted effort on the part of the Democratic party to regain power starting the day after Gore LOST. Now they claim to want to bring a bi-partisan spirit to Capitol Hill. I guess half the nation will believe it.

Therefore, I fire back the way they fired:

Dem's cheated and lied and are the cause of all Gonorrhoea in the world.

Santorum Vs. Bob Casey Jr Senate debate
While Santorum was great, the real highlights of the debate came from Casey. I’m not exaggerating here – Casey came across as a unibrowed version of Chance the Gardener. If he had responded to a question on tax policy by telling the audience that for the garden to bloom in May it must lie fallow in February, I wouldn’t have been the least bit surprised.

Some Republican voters are apparently thinking of staying home on election day because they certainly have no one in their party to idolize and the Democrats haven't had enough power to do anything to be demonized for.
Democrats of course have plenty of Republicans in power to demonize, starting with the President and the Secretary of Defense. It is doubtful whether anyone has ever filled either of those jobs without making mistakes but serious proposals for alternative policies would be more adult than demonizing Bush and Rumsfeld.
So many people have pointed out that Democrats offer no alternative policies that this can no longer be just an oversight on the Democrats' part.

North Korea's first detonation of a nuclear weapon may have taken place during the watch of George W. Bush — but it was under the Clinton administration's watch that the communist regime began gathering necessary materials and constructing the bomb. As Western powers race to confirm that North Korea did in fact explode a nuclear device in Gilju, a remote region in the Hamgyong province, some see it as a culmination of weak U.S. action during the 1990s that led to this fateful day. Fateful Beginnings After entering into an agreement with the United States in 1994, the Clinton administration ignored evidence the North Koreans were violating the agreement and continuing to build a nuclear weapon. "In July of 2002, documentary evidence was found in the form of purchase orders for the materials necessary to enrich uranium," NewsMax's James Hirsen previously reported. The Democrats will not want us to remember this.

ABC ONLINE GLITCH LEADS TO IDENTITY OF FOLEY ACCUSERFEATURED IM EXCHANGE WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLDWed Oct 04 2006 20:32:06 ETA posting on ABCNEWS.COM of an unredacted instant message sessions between Rep. Mark Foley and a former congressional page has exposed the identity of the now 21 year-old accuser.The website PASSIONATE AMERICA detailed the startling exposure late Wednesday.ABCNEWS said in a statement: "We go to great lengths to prevent the names of alleged sex crime victims from being revealed. On Friday there was a very brief technical glitch on our site which was overridden immediately. It is possible that during that very brief interval a screen name could have been captured. Reviews of the site since then show no unredacted screen names." SEX CHAT WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLDOn Tuesday ABC news released a high-impact instant message exchange between Foley and, as ABC explained, a young man "under the age of 18." ABC headlined the story: "New Foley Instant Messages; Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote" But upon reviewing the records, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, the young man was in fact over the age of 18 at the time of the exchange.A network source explains, messages with the young man and disgraced former Congressman Foley took place before and after the 18th birthday.

Who Knew Congressman Foley Was a Closeted Democrat?by Ann Coulter At least liberals are finally exhibiting a moral compass about something. I am sure that they'd be equally outraged if Rep. Mark Foley were a Democrat.The object lesson of Foley's inappropriate e-mails to male pages is that when a Republican congressman is caught in a sex scandal, he immediately resigns and crawls off into a hole in abject embarrassment. Democrats get snippy. Foley didn't claim he was the victim of a "witch-hunt." He didn't whine that he was a put-upon "gay American." He didn't stay in Congress and haughtily rebuke his critics. He didn't run for re-election. He certainly didn't claim he was "saving the Constitution." (Although his recent discovery that he has a drinking problem has a certain Democratic ring to it.) In 1983, Democratic congressman Gerry Studds was found to have sexually propositioned House pages and actually buggered a 17-year-old male page whom he took on a trip to Portugal. The 46-year-old Studds indignantly attacked those who criticized him for what he called a "mutually voluntary, private relationship between adults."When the House censured Studds for his sex romp with a male page, Studds -- not one to be shy about presenting his backside to a large group of men -- defiantly turned his back on the House during the vote. He ran for re-election and was happily returned to office six more times by liberal Democratic voters in his Martha's Vineyard district. (They really liked his campaign slogan: "It's the outfit, stupid.")Washington Post columnist Colman McCarthy referred to Studds' affair with a teenage page as "a brief consenting homosexual relationship" and denounced Studds' detractors for engaging in a "witch-hunt" against gays: "New England witch trials belong to the past, or so it is thought. This summer on Cape Cod, the reputation of Rep. Gerry Studds was burned at the stake by a large number of his constituents determined to torch the congressman for his private life." Meanwhile, Foley is hiding in a hole someplace.No one demanded to know why the Democratic speaker of the House, Thomas "Tip" O'Neill, took one full decade to figure out that Studds was propositioning male pages. But now, the same Democrats who are incensed that Bush's National Security Agency was listening in on al-Qaida phone calls are incensed that Republicans were not reading a gay congressman's instant messages.Let's run this past the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals: The suspect sent an inappropriately friendly e-mail to a teenager -- oh also, we think he's gay. Can we spy on his instant messages? On a scale of 1 to 10, what are the odds that any court in the nation would have said: YOU BET! Put a tail on that guy -- and a credit check, too! When Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee found unprotected e-mails from the Democrats about their plan to oppose Miguel Estrada's judicial nomination because he was Hispanic, Democrats erupted in rage that their e-mails were being read. The Republican staffer responsible was forced to resign. But Democrats are on their high horses because Republicans in the House did not immediately wiretap Foley's phones when they found out he was engaging in e-mail chitchat with a former page about what the kid wanted for his birthday. The Democrats say the Republicans should have done all the things Democrats won't let us do to al Qaeda -- solely because Foley was rumored to be gay. Maybe we could get Democrats to support the NSA wiretapping program if we tell them the terrorists are gay.On Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes" Monday night, Democrat Bob Beckel said a gay man should be kept away from male pages the same way Willie Sutton should have been kept away from banks. "If Willie Sutton is around some place where a bank is robbed," Beckel said, "then you're probably going to say, 'Willie, stay away from the robbery.'" Hmmmm, let's search the memory bank. In July 2000, the New York Times "ethicist" Randy Cohen advised a reader that pulling her son out of the Cub Scouts because they exclude gay scoutmasters was "the ethical thing to do." The "ethicist" explained: "Just as one is honor bound to quit an organization that excludes African-Americans, so you should withdraw from scouting as long as it rejects homosexuals."We need to get a rulebook from the Democrats: -- Boy Scouts: As gay as you want to be.-- Priests: No gays!-- Democratic politicians: Proud gay Americans.-- Republican politicians: Presumed guilty.-- White House press corps: No gays, unless they hate Bush.-- Active-duty U.S. military: As gay as possible.-- Men who date Liza Minelli: Do I have to draw you a picture, Miss Thing?This is the very definition of political opportunism. If Republicans had decided to spy on Foley for sending overly friendly e-mails to pages, Democrats would have been screaming about a Republican witch-hunt against gays. But if they don't, they're enabling a sexual predator.Talk to us Monday. Either we'll be furious that Republicans violated the man's civil rights, or we'll be furious that they didn't.

SECTION: International newsLENGTH: 311 words HEADLINE:

Alleged Islamic Terrorist Chief May Have Fled SudanDATELINE: MANAMA, BahrainBODY:A reported leader of Islamic terrorists, Osama Bin Laden, may have left his exile in Sudan, a newspaper reported Wednesday.
Bin Laden, a Saudi Arabian of Yemeni descent, was headed to London, reported Al-Khaleej, which is based in Sharjah, part of the United Arab Emirates......Bin Laden was a confidant and a bankroller of Sheik Hassan al-Turabi, Sudan's leading fundamentalist and the real power behind the country's government.His family originally came from southern Yemen, and emigrated decades ago to Saudi Arabia where they amassed a fortune from the construction business and became one of the country's wealthiest families.Bin Laden reportedly has used his family's wealth to finance a number of extremist Islamic organizations.He has been cited in Yemen as the leader of fundamentalist terrorists who bombed two hotels in Aden in December 1992 in which two Austrian tourists were killed.The bombings narrowly missed 100 U.S. servicemen en route to Somalia for Operation Restore Hope.

So as early as 1994, the media knew that bin Laden had been aiming for foreigners and U.S. military forces involved with Operation Restore Hope in Somalia; it's not unreasonable to think the intelligence community could have, should have, and may have known a significant time earlier.

yes, the Saddam Hussein regime did send an important Iraqi nuclear diplomat to Niger in early 1999. And I have not so far received any rebuttal from any source on this crucial point of contention. But there was always another layer to the Joseph Wilson fantasy. Easy enough as it was to prove that he had completely missed the West African evidence that was staring him in the face, there remained the charge that his nonreport on a real threat had led to a government-sponsored vendetta against him and his wife, Valerie Plame.

Welfare Reform- A Clinton Success

• Ten years ago yestarday (8/22) President Clinton signed the Welfare Reform Act which infuriated committed liberals.
• The Los Angeles Times said portions of the bill were shameful and would hurt children.
• The New York Times called it atrocious.
• Well they were wrong.
• By insisting that Americans train themselves to work and actively look for a job, the amount of families on the dole has dropped by a whopping 57%.
• And about 1.6 million kids have been lifted out of poverty because their parents were forced to work.
• According to the US Census Bureau black children have benefited the most.
• The poverty rate for female-headed families with children has fallen 15%.
• As you may know 70% of African-American babies are now born out of wedlock.
• So by all rational standards, welfare reform has been a stunning success.
• But we hear little about that from the politicians who voted against reform.
• People like Senator’s Kennedy, Feinstein, Boxer, Dodd, Lahey, and Murray.
• Likewise, Congresswoman Pelosi and other liberal House members have not celebrated the bill's success.
• Politicians that lock themselves into a specific ideology and reject common sense are not looking out for us.
• The far-left thinks the federal government should mandate "economic justice."
• They think the feds and states should give people money to elevate their standard of living.
• But that's a false promise.
• Hard work and honesty is the true key to a fulfilling life.
• The feds owe us security, protection and justice.
• That’s it.
• Welfare reform has improved the lives of millions of Americans.
• Liberals were on the wrong side of the issue (most still are) as they are on the wrong side of illegal immigration and the terror-war today.

Ironic how the very methods the Brits used to thwart suicide bombers on 5 international flights, are the same methods liberal judges are denying our government to use to thwart terrorist activities. If the Brits were so constrained, there would have been five flights that never made it to their destinations safely.

I wonder: how many American lives are these liberals willing to sacrifice for the sake of some perceived freedom? Five planes? Ten? Five plus some downdown city? what? Think better about leaving Iraq. Think better about the UN's impotent involvement with Iran. They won't stop. why should we?

What Price, This Witch Hunt?

When Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr was investigating Bill and Hillary Clinton for their involvement in the White Water investment deal (among other activities), every news report about that investigation was labeled with the price tag. The media made sure to let the American people know exactly how much it was costing. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, Texas prosecutor Ronnie Earle, in his witch hunt against Tom DeLay, wants to keep things hush-hush.

Climate change is controlled primarily by cyclical eccentricities inEarth's rotation and orbit, as well as variations in the sun's energy output.
"Greenhouse gases" in Earth's atmosphere also influence Earth's temperature, but in a much smaller way. Human additions to total greenhouse gases play a still smaller role, contributing about 0.2% - 0.3% (no one DENIES this) to Earth's greenhouse effect.
