  • Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor -- Says Roe Is "Settled Law"

    All I need to know about today's U.S. Senate Nomination Hearing for Liberal New York City Feminist Sotomayor, is that she thinks the appalling pro-Abort ''Roe vs. Wade'' Supreme Court ''Decision'' of 1973, is ''Settled Law'' (her words.) Hispanic voters may be trending towards the Democratic Party side of the political ledger lately, and who ...

  • Obama + Warren = Genius

    The President Elect made an inspired choice in choosing conservative minister Rick Warren to pray - here's why: Rick Warren is incredibly popular among not only conservative Christians but also moderates as well. In this, he is a fig leaf to the conservative Christian base that are feeling alienated in defeat. Rick Warren, while conservative, is ...

  • I always knew you had at least one puff piece in you...

    ...and I wish it had stayed in you. The movie you should have written about in your piece on Sarah Palin is David Cronenberg's The Dead Zone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1VHSQV0yn8 Don't think I'm claiming to be what Pastor Ed of Wasilla Assembly of God claims to be - a prophet. One need not have powers of prognostication to know that ...

  • Jehovah Witnesses ? 1% of vote

    For Jehovah's Witnesses a group that would only be 1% of the population of the United States they certainly do make an impact with their evangelizing and spreading the Gospel. You can't miss Jehovah's Witnesses in the overall society of the United States. I love their evangelism and I admire the fact that they so encourage reading and public ...

  • ObamaRama – Snatching Defeat

    Firstly, Barack is not a ''devout Christian.'' He grew up in an entirely secular home and only joined a church in Chicago in his mid 20s as a way to engage with his new community and because church-going is de rigeur for advancement in national politics. But the blog captures precisely why he cannot win in November. Obama is the darling and ...

  • Re: "Rally for him now" article by Melissa Harris Lacewell

    Nope, you are wrong sly! He lived in Indonesia, but then his family moved to Hawaii where he went to a exclusive boarding school (like Hawaii's Andover). He says the Pledge for every Senate session, proudly facing the flag. I think you have him confused with Keith Ellison a black Muslim who was swore into Congress with his hand on a Koran. ...

  • Re: Obama's Church

    I think you misunderstand my comments. I know the difference between ''racism'' and pride in ones heritage. And I have no problems with Obama belonging to a church that is primarily black -- there is nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, I grew up in an almost all black neighborhood and went to the United Methodist Church with an almost ...
