Killing thrift, Choking Small Business

A law was passed last year mandating testing to keep lead away from children. As is often the case, the cure is worse than the problem, as the unintended consequences are more far reaching than you could imagine. read more | digg story, submitted by Raine1967 Update, January 11, 2009: Here is a related story that seems to have more accurate information: But it's ... for the children! - By Patrice Lewis

Israel attacks United States

By Jerry Ghinelli The government of Israel today launched a massive air assault on suspected terrorist targets along major coastal cities in the United States of America. In an operation termed “Friendly Enemy,” hundreds of Israeli F-16 fighter jets streaked across the Atlantic in precise formation and fired surgical air strikes at alleged terrorist strongholds in densely populated Muslim communities all along the northeast corridor of the United States. The American-made Lockheed Martin F-16 fighter jets then continued south, inflicting massive destruction in densely populated Muslim communities along many southeastern US states as well. [Continue reading] (Editor's Note: This article was first written back July, 2006, during the 33 day Israel/Lebanon war in which over a thousand Lebanese civilians were killed and over 4,000 wounded due to massive, indiscriminate bombing of civilian infrastructure. In Gaza today Israel is showing the same cowardly distain for life by conducting bombing sorties in largely civilian areas. This article has been recently updated by the author.)

digg story, submitted by brianboitono (Read this soon, because we weren't supposed to know about this, and it will probably be pulled from the blogs...) The truth is, though this story was satire, there are points to it that I do not agree with. In fact, I totally disagree with the author, or editor. In the Editor's Note above, it is stated that Israel is showing "cowardly distain for life by conducting bombing sorties in largely civilian areas," and supposedly are conducting "indiscriminate bombing," killing and maiming innocent civilians. The problem that I find with that, is that it is not true. In fact, I have to believe that the story is blatant Hamas propaganda! Hamas terrorists, first of all, use women and children as human shields, and make it a point to hide in heavily populated areas. And the reason Israel is attacking them is because since 2005, Hamas has fired 6,000 rockets indiscriminately into Israeli communities, killing and wounding Israeli civilians - including women and children. The U.N. wants Israel to stop the fighting, and using "disproportionate" force. Why didn't the U.N. ever condemn the Hamas terrorists for their rocket attacks at Israeli non-military targets?

Preparing for Obama - by Henry Lamb

Obama and the Democrats may reign in Washington, but across the land there is a network of grass-roots organizations in place that did not exist when Clinton came to power. It is now possible to inform and activate hundreds of thousands of people in a matter of minutes. Many of these grass-roots groups are affiliated with the Freedom21 movement.

Misunderstanding the 'Fairness Doctrine' - by Joseph Farah

There is no "good news" for freedom-loving or even fairness-loving people in the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." It is a frontal assault on our Constitution. It is a blatant attack on the uniquely American institution of freedom of the press. It is an effort to squelch dissent against Big Government in the United States – pure and simple.

But it's ... for the children! - By Patrice Lewis

Amidst the tanking economy, you'll be stunned to learn about HR 4040, the Consumer Product Safety "Improvement" Act of 2008. It's unbelievable this could have been signed into law. Allegedly benign on the surface (after all, it's for the children!), it imposes strict and unrealistic testing requirements that will drive industries out of business.

USA needs Nuclear Explosion to turn World into Dictatorship

This column was found on newsfromrussia.com (Pravda.ru)

Is the United States going to put dictatorship into effect under the guise of the anti-terrorist struggle? What may trigger another major transformation in 2009? The answer is obvious: another 9/11 in the USA. Terrible and bloody events are in store for the world in the beginning of 2009. Most likely, the world will witness a reality show with a nuclear blast, which will be used as a reason for the US administration to change the world order again and leave the new Great Depression behind. There is every reason to believe that the Russian Federation may suffer as a result of this possible initiative too. Joe Biden made a sensational statement on October 19, 2008. He said that Barack Obama would have to undergo an ordeal during the first six months of his stay in the White House. It will be the time of a very serious international crisis, when Obama would have to make tough and possibly unpopular decisions both in home and foreign politics. [Continue reading]

Obama's choice: FDR or Reagan - by Patrick J. Buchanan

Obama and the Democrats are taking a historic gamble, not only with their careers but with the country. If this monstrous stimulus package, plus the trillions in hot money, do not work; if the two ignite rampant inflation, rather than real growth, we are all out of options. The toolbox is empty. And what will follow may truly resemble the 1930s.

A formula for perpetual war - by Hal Lindsey

Israel has demonstrated that it will absorb almost any blow before resorting to war. Israel's one goal is to secure a lasting peace. To achieve that goal, Israel must eliminate the enemy's ability to wage war. If they don't, war will continue in perpetuity. Fortunately, Christ's return to deliver those who have believed in Him is coming very soon.

Watch Obama commercial they don't want you to see

Fox, CNN, MSNBC refuse ads questioning Barack's eligibility © 2009 WorldNetDaily Barack Obama's campaign officials and transition office repeatedly have rejected reporters' requests for comment on questions raised over his lack of documentation regarding his birth and the resulting concerns over his eligibility to be president. Now a number of media organizations apparently don't want questions raised either. WND columnist Janet Porter told WND she found that out when her organization, Faith2Action.org, tried to purchase airtime to publicize information about the eligibility concerns. She told WND that national networks that refused to sell her time for a 60-second commercial included CNBC, MSNBC, Headline News, CNN and Fox. Washington, D.C., outlets for the same organizations did the same. "With the date for congressional approval (of the Electoral College today), we wanted them to have access to the facts," she told WND. "Congress is sworn to uphold the Constitution." She said the donors who contributed the funding that was to be used for the ads were being contacted to find out whether they wanted to reach another direction in the media. [Continue reading]

Day 11 of Operation Cast Lead

Day 11 of Operation Cast Lead saw some of the heaviest fighting yet in Gaza. On Monday night, 3 soldiers died and 24 others were wounded in North Gaza from "friendly fire" when a tank shell destroyed a house that they were using for cover. A fourth soldier, an IDF officer from the Paratroopers Brigade was also killed overnight during operations in the northern Gaza Strip. The IDF is investigating the possibility of another "friendly fire" incident. As Hamas continued to launch Kassam and Grad rockets at towns and urban areas in Southern Israel, 80 trucks carrying "humanitarian supplies" made their way into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing. By 1 PM on Tuesday, the number of terrorist rockets falling in the south, while down from previous days, nonetheless hit 20. The Jerusalem Post's Yaakov Katz reports on the IDF's response to mortar fire at troops coming from a UN-run school in the town of Jabalya in northern Gaza, as well as other war news.

WSJ Obama plan for a Government run HMO - By Tom Price

Dr. Tom Price, a Republican member of Congress from Georgia, is the new chairman of the Republican Study Committee.

Perhaps the greatest missed opportunity of the past eight years was the chance for Republicans to fundamentally reform the terribly broken American health-care system. Access to quality health care has long been a professed priority, yet Republicans have been reluctant to tackle the issue. As a physician, this is deeply disappointing to me because patient-centered health care is, at its core, conservative. Health care is fundamentally a personal relationship between patients and doctors. To honor this relationship -- consistent with Republican ideals -- our goal should be to provide a system that allows access to affordable, quality health care for all Americans, in a way that ensures medical decisions are made in doctors' offices, not Washington. Republican unwillingness to address the issue, however, has left us facing an emboldened Democratic Party well equipped to push a government-centered health-care agenda. While Democrats are still dangerously misguided in their policies, this time they are prepared to avoid the political mistakes of the Clinton administration. [Continue reading]
