In Other “Religion of the Perpetually Outraged” News

This time from the UK.
First,
London’s Kingsway International Christian Church, the largest church in Europe, no longer has a permanent home. Nor is there much prospect of it finding one in London.
This congregation of as many as 10,000 was forced off its property to make room for the 2012 London Olympics. And now it must hold [...]

Nothing New at the Royal York Hotel

So I headed down to the Royal York hotel this morning to catch the Law Is Cool kids’ press conference.
Faisal Joseph (dressed a little like Huggybear in his gold accoutrements, yet looking a lot like a 10th grade English teacher that offers the girls “extra credit”), counsel for the Canadian Islamic Congress, sat amid the [...]

MSM Wisdom: Reports of Economy’s Death Were Greatly Exaggerated

I recall hearing a guest on talk radio (I forget which show) saying that a recession is defined by very specific economic indicators — and that, despite the loose use of the word “recession” by uninformed media types, those economic indicators were not present. Perhaps that’s not surprising, given that the economy is growing, something [...]

Race Baiting Lefties at Crooks and Liars Team Up with Firedoglake To Petition Republicans “To Stop Racist Attack Ads” Targeting Jeremiah Wright (and thus Obama)

This would almost be humorous if the American left wasn’t such the pile of donkey manure that it has become. The associations that Barack Obama makes and the people he has the audacity to model his image after are very much fair game, relevant and important. Only an ignorant fool would pretend otherwise.

Obama Switches Gears; Reverend Wright Not The Man He Thought He Was

On March 18, Barack Obama (D) said “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.” Now, suddenly, today based on the speech that his spiritual advisor/mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, gave yesterday to the National Press Club, has disowned, disavowed, and just generally dissed the man, saying:
“The person I saw yesterday [...]

My favorite whining special interest victims hit the news again

Bullies use peanut butter to threaten kids with allergies
Ok, ok. Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way first. Kids get bullied and beaten up all the time, and maybe it’s more dangerous (it’s certainly more comical) to threaten a kid with a peanut butter sandwich. It’s also really dangerous to throw rocks at [...]

Three Big Problems With Public Education

A brief hunt on the Internet led me to discover that there are 41 federal departments/agencies…just under the letter “A”. There are 15 federal agencies that fall under the management of the president. One of them is the sham known as the U.S. Department of Education.

$720 billion (2005): Total estimated annual [...]

Obama Throws Rev. Jeremiah Wright Under the Bus (Late is Not Better)

As I type this, Barack Obama is on television denouncing his ‘old uncle’, his 20 year spiritual adviser and mentor. Seems Obama’s political advisers got through to him, advised him his campaign was in the crapper thanks to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and he must throw Wright under the bus (along with his grandmother and mother, [...]

California Gun Owners: Beware

Here is a message from the NRA:
Anti-gun hysteria has reached a fever pitch in the Golden State. The California Assembly is considering a bill (Assembly Bill 2062) this session that, if passed, will have dire consequences for California’s law-abiding gun owners.
AB2062 is scheduled to be heard on Wednesday, May 7 in the [...]

Jeremiah Wright Still Unashamedly Racist

Contrary to media reports, Jeremiah Wright hasn’t been in self-imposed exile since Obama distanced himself from Wright’s anti-American and racist remarks. On the contrary, Wright has continued his whirlwind speaking tour across America. Friday he was interviewed by Bill Moyers of PBS, Sunday he delivered two sermons at Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, where he [...]
