Using a slight of hand and having his propaganda mill obscure what has been done, the Democrats and the Obama administration are planning to fund abortion in their health care bill.
The original “compromise” on abortion was a slight of hand that would force people to pay for abortion coverage themselves, similar to the way you […]

Well I bet nobody saw this coming. Bogged down by sinking approval numbers for the President, and a growing disdain among Americans for the democrat led senate, Charles Rangel has enacted the ever-so-popular liberal defense mechanism, the race card.
Rangel, the Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means committee stated that “bias” and “prejudice” toward Obama are fueling opposition […]

Wow! Its been 12 years since the death of Princess Diana on August 31, 1997. Can you believe how fast time flies? It seems like yesterday I was waking up to read the morning news to find her death sprawled all over the front page. As I was always a fan, I was saddened by […]

There is a lot of nonsense being written by all sorts about the late Senator Teddy Kennedy, but as a Senator, he was a hard worker for his constituents.
Yes, I know. Kennedy didn’t do such things personally, but he had a large and energetic staff to help him, and half the “trick” of being in […]

ICANN has forgotten who it works for - us. Thomas Jefferson noted that the exercise of political power without the consent of the governed is illegitimate. ICANN’s attempt to impose a governance structure on noncommercial users against our will calls into question ICANN’s legitimacy to govern; it undermines confidence in ICANN’s commitment to democratic values; and it appears ICANN is unable to protect the broader public interest against commercial pressures….

Walking out the door, my to-be husband whispered to me that she wouldn’t have done that if he hadn’t been standing behind me. He truly believed that the only reason she asked for my ID was because I was with a minority. Nothing could have been further from the truth.

So…those of you that believe Cenzon-DeCarlo should have gotten another job: Do you honestly think that this nurse is the only one that doesn’t want to participate in abortions?

Now, I understand that Professor Gates had just returned from a long trip. I know that when I come home from a long trip, I am tired and crabby. It had to further aggravate him that when trying to get into his home to finally kick his shoes off and rest, the door was jammed. Topping off a long and tiring day, the police showed up and began questioning him. All he wanted to do was take a hot shower and go to bed, right? That’s all understandable. But none of it was Crowley’s fault and there is no indication that racial profiling occurred.

I once was wending my way home after a midnight flight when I saw the blue lights of a cop car telling me to pull over.
Now, I was tired (coming back from a weekend ER shift in another state) and cranky. And, I was alone on a stretch of lonely rural road where two women […]

There’s an old phrase book for foreigners: English as she is spoken.
So let’s talk about Health Care rationing, as she is practiced.
With all this talk about government health care and the possibility that rationing will be part of the plan, I am astonished that no one has bothered to see how US Federal Government clinics […]

It gives me no pleasure to be in the company of the majority justices in the Supreme Court’s New Haven firefighters decision, Ricci v. DeStefano, (particularly that of Justice Thomas, who only days earlier was the sole justice to support the right of high school administrators to strip search teenage girls in search of pharmaceuticals, […]

All Indian Nations have a story of the conquest. For many Western Tribes, like the Apache and the Sioux, the story includes tenacious resistance to European advances and a bitter defeat. For some Eastern tribes, like those historically known, controversially, as the Five Civilized Tribes - the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Muscogee (Creek), and Seminole - […]

I was happy to find that David Letterman has joined the woman hating bigots such as Rush Limbaugh and Gordon Liddy in the NOW Hall of Shame.
Comedians in search of a laugh should really know better than to snicker about men having sex with teenage girls (or young women) less than half their age. […]

I wasn’t too surprised that Proposition 8,which defended traditional marriage, passed in California because of the large number of Black and Hispanic Democrats who voted against it.
Their votes were actually about how people traditionally live together, and the place of marriage in society, but fifty years after the sexual revolution, one doubts that the mainstream […]

President Barack Obama today announced his choice of Jesus Christ, of Nazareth, as his first selection for the Supreme Court. Citing Christ’s judicial wisdom, impeccable knowledge of the law, and “empathy,” Obama proudly presented his nominee in the East Room of the White House.
Rush Limbaugh wasted no time in seizing his microphone to condemn Obama’s […]

Here’s the opening paragraph of a CNN.com article published Wednesday morning (5/27/09):
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Republican Party risks further alienation from Hispanics by challenging the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, who would become the first Hispanic, and third woman, on the Supreme Court.

I seethed in anger last March, when Nancy Pelosi helped to jiggle the votes for the Democratic convention so that the super-delegates and the caucuses would be able to nullify the popular votes in the primaries.
This enabled the hard left, who had hijacked a lot of the caucuses, to have their candidate Barack Obama win, […]

I am aghast that the so called “catholic Democrats” are dismissing Professor Glendon as a conservative.
Actually, she is not a conservative. Even the New York Times noted that she is considered one of the founders of the Communitarian movement, a group that has long been associated with the Democratic party.
So, what is a communitarian?
Well, in […]

I suspect the present day witch-hunt against those who “tortured” has more to do with politics than reality. Why? Because I’m old enough to remember the laments of the Church committee hearings back in the 1970’s.
Those hearings resulted in the CIA pulling back from the “hands-on” dirty work of spying, relying more on electronic surveillance […]

April 8th 2009, a little girl is seen walking down the street with a person seemingly happy and in no danger. There is nothing in the video to suggest that anything is wrong. This little girl could be walking with her sister, cousin, or possibly, though remotely, even her mother. Victoria Stafford does not seem […]

The Washington Post’s Scott Wilson writes a 692-word article on a topic President Barack Obama “just can’t seem to get right.”
Is it getting Iran to take him seriously? A bailout exit strategy? What to do with the committed jihadis currently warehoused at Gitmo? No, it’s bowling:
A president who this week spoke fluently about the changing […]

Why do we need federal laws to make bullying a crime? And why do we need to require schools to have anti-bullying policies?
The saga of Billy Wolfe should be enough to convince you. Over a year ago, Billy was being bullied relentlessly by two bigger guys from his high school in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He was […]

Jimmy Carter has done it again: pushing peace with a murderous government who has a history of killing their political opponents, and who has broken agreements in the past.
Jimmy Carter also speaks of hope.
In a statement Saturday, the members of The Elders founded by former President Nelson Mandela said they hoped the deal would ease […]

Dybul is one of those heroes one meets too rarely in government. He worked as an AIDS doctor in San Francisco in the 1980s and […]
