Contrary to the belief in some circles, there is no persecution of Christianity in the United States. But the narrative that there is, based on cases where the Christian majority was not allowed to oppress a minority or to impose itself on to a minority, is still strong. In Akron, Ohio, some ranking church members took it one step further, and asked the local ...
If you've had a chance to visit the September 11 memorials at Ground Zero in Manhattan, the Pentagon and western Pennsylvania -- or perhaps have been to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. -- then you have a sense of the powerful emotions that such places can stir up. This week, the design was chosen for a memorial to the victims of the ...
Commentator Oliver North, a former Lieutenant Colonel who hosts a War Stories segment on Fox News, made the comments at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Referring to the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell two years ago,he said: "The members of our armed forces and their families deserve better than being treated like laboratory rats in some radical social experiment." "The people of Ukraine ...
WASHINGTON D.C. -- You have to hand it to the conservatives here at CPAC. They're a forgiving lot. They believe in second chances, even for felons. Why, just this morning, I heard a speech by a guy who sold missiles to a government that sponsored terrorism, lied about it, got convicted, and then dove like a scalded rat through a loophole. I watched a ...
Go entrepreneurs! Wow, this holds up and I promise you somehow I will find funding for a drone that can fly at least my GoPro's and preferably my DSLR. *rubs hands in that slightly maniacal style* I can make really good use of something like that. Aerial would add just what I need to step up and get those paid gigs for my little ...
2014 john McCain : Obama Is 'Near Delusional In Thinking The Cold War Was Over' 2008 John McCain : "The Cold War is over, the Soviet empire is gone and neither one is missed," 2014 John McCain : 'Obama's foreign policy "feckless" "We have a weak and indecisive president that invites aggression." 1980's John McCain: The fundamental question is: What is the United States' ...
D'Souza told the conservative conference that Obama believes "the free market system is based on theft" and seemed to be under the impression that Obama came up with the entire system of taxation: "Think about this, it's almost like here you are at home, you're watching TV, and a bunch of government guys show up at your door and they start taking your furniture ...
It was not to be a private belief: Jindal felt a moral imperative to evangelize, and classmates recall he was an active salesman for the Lord. He had embraced a traditionalist vision of Catholicism out of step with the modern church, one in which evil was something to be confronted not just spiritually, but physically. And it wasn't long until he saw an opportunity ...
Oh, Alaska. What did we do before we knew of your weird ways, thrown into harsh illumination on the national stage thanks to half-term grifterbilly Sarah Palin? If not for that fortuitous bit of happenstance, we would never be checking out an Alaska-based blog, and we would never have known about the Republican (of course!) Fairbanks borough assembly member who does not like Ms. ...

A baby girl born today will still face inequality and discrimination, no matter where her mother lives. We have a common obligation to ensure her right to live free from the violence that affects one in three women globally; to earn equal pay for equal work; to be free of the discrimination that prevents her from participating in the economy; to have an equal ...

Russian troops on Friday stormed a Ukranian military base 5 kilometers from the Ukranian city Sevastopol, located on the Black Sea coast of the Crimean peninsula. No shots have been fired. The two sides were reportedly in the middle of negotiating the Ukraninian soldiers' terms of surrender, when the pro-Russian Crimean militia started assaulting the journalists who were reporting from the area. According to ...
This is incredibly sad. The poor baby did nothing to deserve this. I hope they actually do find a cure and find it soon. The sooner they're able to cure her, the greater the chance that they'll save her life. A second baby born with the AIDS virus may have had her infection put into remission and possibly cured by very early treatment -- ...

Via TPM: When Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) made a thinly veiled reference comparing Eric Holder to George Wallace before a group of conservatives, it may not have occurred him that the attorney general's sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, was one of the segregationist's actual victims during the Jim Crow era.
In its March 5 edi­tion, The Pic­tou Ad­vo­cate pub­lished an ed­i­to­r­ial car­toon com­par­ing the Harper gov­ern­ment to Nazi Ger­many. This vile abuse of free ex­pres­sion in the name of "satire" should not be tol­er­ated in any fair-minded so­ci­ety. ... More: Russ Campbell's Blog: Vile Is as Vile Does
It has been nearly two years since officials in Hinds County, Mississippi, made a deal with prison reform advocates to fix the abusive and neglectful conditions at the Henley-Young Juvenile Center. The deal that the parties signed, and that a Republican-nominated federal trial judge approved, required local officials to act decisively to end the "unnecessary use of force, excessive cell confinement, and denial of ...
"The project bears two goals - economic and political," said Amir Dajani, deputy managing director at Bayti Real Estate Investment Company, which heads the city's construction. "The city provides and will provide thousands of jobs, and in the political angle, the idea is to construct the Palestinian state through establishing this city, as well as other cities." The city is planned to spread over ...
