We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
Hey, they’ve made a living exploiting different strands of Christianity. Is it any surprise to see them working together to exploit a new religion? Of course not. In fact, the climate change religion looks to be even more lucrative than anything they’ve exploited before.
While Reverend Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson have different views on most issues, when it comes to the urgency of protecting the planet, they agree.
“I am honored that Al Gore asked me to be a part of this campaign urging people to take care of the planet,” Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network. “It’s just common sense that we ought to be good stewards of the environment and do everything within our power to protect this fragile planet that we all live on.”
At the taping of this clip on Virginia Beach, the two joked and prayed together. If these polar opposites can come together on this important and moral issue, why can’t you?
Let me be crystal clear: if elected president, my first act will be to call for the immediate withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq. I have always been consistent and forthright in this position, and I want to reassure my supporters that my recent statement backtracking from it was just some bullshit my staff came up with to tack to the center for the general election. To win this election, it will be critical to appeal to the dwindling but stubborn group of idiots who cling to fantasies of American “victory” in this tragic disaster.
Currently reading “The Bible from Cover to Cover” by Peter J. Brancazio, Professor Emeritus at Brooklyn College (CUNY). Very readable — very rewarding. Highly recommended.
Reading about Chicago politics makes me sick to the stomach. Kudos for the Boston Globe for showing how Obama served as a willing cog in the dirty scene. Absolutely disgusting — the whole lot of it.
Google “Michelle Obama” and the term “whitey” and you’ll find conservative bloggers claiming a video shows her using the racially tinged term at Trinity Church.
Sure thing ABC. Never mind the fact that it was known Hillary operative Larry Johnson (also a HuffPo blogger) that pushed this story out there.
So some Europeans want to buy Budweiser. This should be up to the shareholders, not some scummy politicians.
Republican Gov. Matt Blunt said Wednesday he opposes the deal, and directed the Missouri Department of Economic Development to see if there was a way to stop it.
“I am strongly opposed to the sale of Anheuser-Busch, and today’s offer to purchase the company is deeply troubling to me,” Blunt said in a statement.
Who does this ass governor think he is? This isn’t his company.
Sweden: paradise or purgatory? —wonders Megan McArdle. I don’t know how this woman can see through this carefully constructed myth of the Swedish socialist utopia, yet manages to keep her eyes wide shut with respect to Barack Obama’s vacuous personality cult.
Oh well. My mother who works at the Swedish Embassy in Tirana, Albania, should have interesting thoughts regarding this article.
Richard Adams has an interesting take on environmentalism as religion (scientists and socialists using history to predict the future — while abandoning the scientific method in the process).
Obama spoke to graduates at Wesleyan this week. Sounds like it was a disgusting speech. Adam Brodsky was all over it.
This went well past the standard graduation calls for community service and voluntarism. The senator chided those who seek life’s material rewards: “Fulfilling your immediate wants and needs,” he insisted, “betrays a poverty of ambition.”
In fact, Obama himself was betraying a poverty of understanding US history.
After all, it’s not too many Americans pursuing their dreams that threatens the nation’s greatness - it’s too few.
Now that Rachel Ray and Dunkin’ Donuts have pulled the web ads showing her sporting the keffiyeh, I doubt you’ll see her wearing Freshjive’s hip “The Good Ol’ Days” t-shirt with a smiling, sunglasses clad Yasser Arafat, reveling in all his terrorist glory.
Remember, Freshjive? Terrorist t-shirts for the douchebag set seem to be his thing…
The Washington Post says that Al Qaeda is not doing so well these days. The reporter struggles to explain (or is purposely excluding) the Iraq war’s importance to their serious setbacks world-wide, essentially claiming that Al Qaeda is its own worst enemy (not the US).
Where can a moonbat go when its conspiracy theory is even too whacked out for the Huffington Post? (Yes, apparently, there are some things too whacked out for HuffPo.)
Michael runs an internet company.
Kejda is finishing her degree in Financial Economics at the University of Waterloo. They are getting married in 2008 and they consider themselves liberals in the classical (and actual) sense of the word.
