An Inconvenient Terrorist
Terrorism piece by Press Release:
Christina Wilson (9/2/10)
Ecoterrorism Comes to A Washington Suburb - Washington, D.C. - James Lee, the gunman and hostage taker, who was shot and killed by a SWAT team in the Discovery Channel Building in Silver Spring, Maryland, is the latest of a long line of ecoterrorists who have killed and maimed innocent people for over three decades.
‘When did PC, Tolerance, and Diversity become Laziness and Lying?‘
Political Correctness piece by Rev Bresciani
(9/2/10)
French poet and essayist, Paul Valery 1871-1945, said “The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be.“ Those who look back longingly to fairer days agree with Valery but who could have seen a time when changes would become so radical that temporality and periodicity itself would become a form of entertainment?
The Hardest Decision Of My Life
Life piece by Guest:
Chuck Baldwin (9/2/10)
Last Sunday, August 29, 2010, was the hardest day of my life. Even when my father made me promise that I would preach his funeral (which I did–twice: once in Indiana where he lived, and again in Florida where I live and where he is buried), that was not as difficult and gut wrenching as what I had to do last Sunday. Last Sunday, I retired as the pastor of the church that my wife and I founded 35 years ago: the Crossroad Baptist Church of Pensacola, Florida.
Two Crazy Greens
GreeenIsm piece by Alan Caruba
(9/2/10)
For a few hours on Wednesday the nation’s attention was on James J. Lee who took hostages at the Discovery Communications headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Negotiations failed to sway him from his mission or free his hostages. Lee was a Green zealot and police were left with no alternative than to shoot Lee dead.
The Envious Feminist
Femi-Nazis piece by Selwyn Duke
(9/2/10)
People are emotional beings, often governed more by feelings than reason. And this is never truer than with leftist people.

Passing Pair of Union-Backed Bills Would Create a ‘Ponzi Scheme as Bad as Bernie Madoff’
Unions piece by Offsite
(9/1/10)

House piece by Offsite

Government piece by Offsite
(9/1/10)
The Miami government’s continued tax and fee hikes indicate the city is bankrupt, says Mike Shedlock, an investment adviser at Sitka Pacific Capital Management.

One-Third Chance of Double-Dip Recession

(8/31/10)
You can add Harvard University economist Martin Feldstein to the growing list of experts who are worried about a double-dip recession.
Half of Your Taxes Will Soon Go for Interest
Taxes piece by Offsite
(8/31/10)
Congressional Budget Office forecasts of government deficits and debt are supposed to be authoritative. But Congress forces the CBO to make unrealistic assumptions when issuing those estimates.
More Quantitative Easing by Fed Can’t Do Much
Economics piece by Offsite
(8/31/10)
With fiscal policy hamstrung by political gridlock in Congress, many look to the Federal Reserve as the sole source of salvation for a teetering economy.
While Members Suffer, Unions Waste Millions on Political Campaigns
Unions piece by Offsite
(8/31/10)
Today’s labor movement claims to hold its individual members’ welfare paramount. So what message do its leaders send when they opt to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on political campaigns while members continue to suffer very difficult economic times?
It Is A Fearful Thing To Fall Into The Hands Of The Living God
Socialism piece by J. D. Longstreet
(8/31/10)
Allow me to say, right up front, that Mr. Glenn Beck does not need me to defend him.
When I Was a Seventeen Year-Old Socialist
Socialism piece by Aaron Goldstein
(8/31/10)
“I pass the test that says a man who isn’t a socialist at twenty has no heart, and a man who is a socialist at forty has no head.“ - William Casey, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, 1981-1987 (1) - The sentiments of President Reagan’s man at the CIA have been previously uttered by the likes of Disraeli, Clemenceau and Churchill. The ages of the young men varied as did whether the young men in question were socialists or liberals. But the one thing that remained constant is that if they remained socialists or liberals as older men they were doomed to a life of naivete.
Frank Rich’s Tea Party Lies
TEA Parties piece by Warner Todd Huston
(8/31/10)
Frank Rich’s column(1) in the New York Times opinion section today was at the very least two things: Lies and the rehashed work of another writer. But it was also a third thing and that third thing was cover for his buddy in the Oval office and for the hard-core left-wing agenda he’s trying to force down our throats. Rich lent that cover by desperately trying to discredit “the Tea Party” as a funded-from-the-top, sham of a movement. The truth is, though, that “the Tea Party” is not funded by shadowy, rich right-wingers. It isn’t funded at all in most cases.

Restoring Honor 8-28-10
History piece by Robert R. Owens
(8/30/10)
To say that climbing on a bus with fifty strangers to join a caravan of hundreds of other buses jostling our way up the yellow-brick road to Oz put this Historian out of his comfort zone would not be an understatement; it would be a gross understatement. However, having fallen through the rabbit hole in the fifties and taken the red pill in the sixties, the slow motion train wreck that is the Progressive’s deconstruction of traditional America combined with the light speed transformation of our beloved Republic as a European-style nanny-state since the November Revolution of 08 compelled me to go. Stoked by daily doses of Radio-free Glenn and incited by the daily drip-drip-drip of the government take-overs and serial bail-outs the anticipation has built for months.
Chicago’s ShoreBank morphs into Urban Partnership Bank
Progressivism piece by Ann "Babe" Huggett
(8/30/10)
Chicago’s ShoreBank, known as the “Clintons’ favorite bank” and with close ties to the Obama Administration, which allegedly pushed Goldman Sachs and Citibank to underwrite it using $135 million of their TARP funds even as it reported losses, failed on August 20th but immediately reorganized itself as Urban Partnership Bank. Upon the reorganization, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) quickly handed over $367.7 million to keep the newly renamed bank’s doors open.
$400 K For State Employee That Never Showed for Work For 12 Years
Government piece by Warner Todd Huston
(8/30/10)
CNN reports(1) that an employee contracted with the state of Virginia for 12 years seems to have never actually done any work for the agency she was attached to, Norfolk officials say.
Eternal Principle
Law piece by Guest:
Nancy Salvato (8/30/10)
Marcus Tullius Cicero, who was born in 105 B.C. and was beheaded by Antony’s soldiers in 43 B.C, writes in On the Laws(1), “Law was neither a thing to be contrived by the genius of man, nor established by any decree of the people, but a certain eternal principle, which governs the entire universe, wisely commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong.“
Our Schools, Dumb and Dumber
EdukShun piece by Alan Caruba
(8/30/10)
As the nation’s children return to elementary and secondary schools, it is increasingly essential that their parents and communities coast to coast realize how poorly served they are and how their learning environment is increasingly tainted by a socialist agenda.

The ‘Glenn Beck Show’ Is What It Is…
Information piece by Malcolm T. Hedges
(8/29/10)
It ain’t perfect but it sure is better than Progressive Pap!

The Glenn Beck 8-28 ‘Restore Honor’ Rally
The Republic piece by Malcolm T. Hedges
(8/28/10)
I watched most of the event on C-SPAN live today. I tuned in some 28-minutes late because of a time zone miscalculation.
Running For Office - They Might Want To Heed This Advice
Election 2010 piece by Thomas D. Segel
(8/28/10)
Harlingen, Texas, August 27, 2010: The request went out to just over 7,000 readers. They were asked what they want to see from the next officials they place in office. Surprisingly, 752 people have answered. Now that is well over a ten percent response rate, and most statisticians will tell you that anything over a 3% response is considered good. My thought would be those who took the time to reply will also be the most likely voters to cast ballots reflecting their concerns in November.
Race does NOT need to be Discussed
Racism piece by Kevin Roeten
(8/28/10)
Race is old hat, right out of the 1950’s. Time to get over it. There’ll always be a deranged small minority who believes a different race is to be impugned. But one party thinks race is what you talk about to get elected. Buckle up if you are a member of either group.
Asia Bounce Will Trigger Food Crisis
Food piece by Offsite
(8/28/10)
Eclectica hedge fund manager Hugh Hendry says the world faces further commodity price rises and a potential food shortage if Asian economic growth continues unchecked, CityWire reports.
Prelude to a Constitution (Part 1 of 2)
Constitution piece by Guest:
Richard Olivastro (8/28/10)
With the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the thirteen American colonies declared themselves to be independent and sovereign states. (Actually, you could say it was 14 states that declared independence, because the area known as Vermont simultaneously separated from New York.)
The Economy Should Not Be A Rube Goldberg Device
Government piece by J.J. Jackson
(8/28/10)
Rube Goldberg, for those of you who are unaware, was a cartoonist who is probably best known for his satirical sketches depicting overly complex and convoluted machines designed to perform simple and mundane tasks. In one of his cartoons he shows a contraption for a self-operated napkin. The man sitting at the table enjoying his soup lifts his spoon with one hand which pulls on a string which then jerks a ladle that in turn tosses a cracker to a parrot which then jumps to catch the treat upsetting a bowl of seeds on the opposite end of the perch. These seeds then fall into a bucket putting extra weight on a chord that opens a cigar lighter setting off a firework which cuts a string and allows the pendulum of a clock to swing back and forth. At the end of that pendulum is a napkin which passes in front of the mouth of the wearer and wipes his mouth. Of course the fact that such a device was not necessary because the man’s other hand is not doing anything except sitting on the table is not missed by anyone paying attention. All this man had to do was pick up his napkin in his other hand to wipe his mouth rather than wear such a funny device.

10 Memory-Saving Tricks to Start Now
Health piece by Offsite
(8/27/10)
Memory alters as we age, and we can all probably expect a few annoying slips like misplacing the car keys. Most of us, however, can maintain and even improve our memories by simple lifestyle changes.
U.S. Could Face 20 Years of Hard Times
Economics piece by Offsite
(8/27/10)
Japan’s economy has sucked wind for the better part of two decades, and the United States may soon follow suit, says David Wyss, chief economist at Standard and Poor’s.
