Al Sharpton's finances intensified this week, with the IRS sending out a flurry of subpoenas to his most generous corporate donors, The Post has learned. Anheuser-Busch, the brewer of Budweiser and Michelob, confirmed yesterday that it received a federal subpoena in connection to its charitable giving to Sharpton's National Action Network. "We have received a subpoena and are cooperating with the IRS," the company said in a statement. http://www.nypost.com/seven/06192008/news/regionalnews/subpoena_blitz_puts_heat_on_al_116165.htm Scientists feel sure of ice on Mars [img]http://static.flickr.com/165/362147576_c990fce8bb.jpg[/img] quote: Surveillance Bill Offers Protection To Telecom Firms Deal Would Extend U.S. Wiretap Power[sm=thumbsup.gif], Shield Providers Facing Privacy Lawsuits http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/19/AR2008061901545_pf.html quote: U.S. says exercise by Israel seemed directed at Iran[sm=thumbsup.gif] By Michael R. Gordon and Eric Schmitt Published: June 20, 2008 WASHINGTON: Israel carried out a major military exercise earlier this month that American officials say appeared to be a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Several American officials said the Israeli exercise appeared to be an effort to develop the military's capacity to carry out long-range strikes and to demonstrate the seriousness with which Israel views Iran's nuclear program. More than 100 Israeli F-16 and F-15 fighters participated in the maneuvers, which were carried out over the eastern Mediterranean and over Greece during the first week of June, American officials said. http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/20/america/20iran.php [img]http://veterans.senate.gov/gallery/judges_gavel.jpg[/img] Can you say 'Justice Hillary Clinton'?

Yesterday, a New York Times article about her noted that she had killed a research project on the human papillomavirus, because of sensitivity to the widespread mistaken belief in the black community that that such research abuses happen to blacks. "The Times's account suggests that girls in Chicago were denied potentially lifesaving vaccinations because Michelle Obama pandered to racial paranoia instead of standing up for the truth. Is that why they pay her the big bucks?" It is a widely held belief in the fantasy land of victimology that the famous Tuskegeee experiments saw the government inject blacks with syphilis. Usually this urban myth is cited to assert that it is reasonable to believe that the government created AIDS as a targeted disease. The reach of this lie goes far beyond the black community. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/06/michelle_obamas_pander.html Report: Ohio Teacher Burned Cross on Students' Arms quote: CABLE GUYS LUST FOR TIM'S JOB June 20, 2008 -- TIM Russert's body wasn't even cold in the ground before [P]MSNBC anchors Chris Matthews[sm=mouse.gif] and Keith Olbermann[sm=pig.gif] started jockeying for his job, sources claim.

Bush did not know about a White House effort to leak the identity of a CIA agent but tried to protect staffers who were involved in one of the biggest scandals of his administration, former Bush spokesman Scott McClellan told Congress on Friday. McClellan said he did not think Bush was involved in a 2003 effort to blow the cover of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, whose husband had accused the administration of twisting intelligence to justify the Iraq war. But Bush, through his chief of staff, ordered McClellan to tell reporters that White House staffers Karl Rove and Lewis "Scooter" Libby were not behind the leak, even though they both turned out to be involved, McClellan told the House Judiciary Committee. http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/mcclellan_bush_cia/2008/06/20/106334.html [img]http://static.flickr.com/194/468529368_6bca542823.jpg[/img] Philadelphia Cardinal Rigali: One Must Believe What the Church Teaches to Receive Communion That leaves out Pelosi, Cuomo, Matthews, Kerry, Kennedy & alot of dem pols...that on a regular basis are disobedient to their own church leaders!

It is also raising its cheapest fares by as much as $90 one-way. The second-largest U.S. carrier said the moves are among a number of changes it is making to combat record high fuel prices. The Chicago-based airline has been among the most aggressive in the industry in pushing fares and fuel surcharges higher in recent months, and its latest policy could prompt other carriers to consider following suit. Starting Oct. 6, most United fares will require a one- to three-night or weekend-night minimum stay, spokeswoman Robin Urbanski said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap_travel/20080620/ap_tr_ge/travel_brief_airlines_fares quote: `Swift Boat'-Like Groups May Bloom After Obama Finance Decision[sm=funny.gif][img]http://www.artie.com/grafx/left/arg-arrow-small-yellow-black-left-wide.gif[/img]*SAT. ADD* Jonathan D. Salant Fri Jun 20, 12:01 AM ET June 20 (Bloomberg) -- Barack Obama's decision to become the first presidential nominee to shun public financing is likely to produce a cascade of money for unofficial campaign groups that until now have been on the wane. Obama's move will give him a big financial advantage in the general election. Democratic strategist Joe Trippi said he may be able to raise as much as $500 million, while Republican John McCain, if he sticks to his avowed intention to take public money, will receive $84.1 million from the government and won't be allowed to raise more. Republicans say the result will be that McCain supporters will be more likely to open their wallets to outside groups akin to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the organization whose efforts damaged Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry four years ago. http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080620/pl_bloomberg/a0nphlu4xxe;_ylt=Ao_2LakR2F5UAfU65o1ymzGs0NUE Tear Barry & Michelle up..where do I send donations????[sm=thumbsup.gif] quote: Haditha Marine prepares to sue Murtha [sm=thumbsup.gif]over smear[img]http://www.artie.com/grafx/left/arg-arrow-small-yellow-black-left-wide.gif[/img]*SAT.

When combined with the Republican National Committee's bank balance, McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, had more money to spend than Obama during the three months leading up to the national party conventions. McCain, an Arizona senator, had $31.6 million as of May 31, compared with $33.3 million for Obama, Federal Election Commission records show. The RNC had $53.5 million to just under $4 million for the Democrats.

brooklynsblessed1 -> Brokaw Leads Mt. The Press! (6/22/2008 11:04:29 AM)
quote: Brokaw to lead 'Meet the Press' By MIKE ALLEN \| 6/22/08 10:14 AM EST Tom Brokaw will replace Tim Russert as moderator of NBC�s �Meet the Press� through the November presidential election, the network announced today. NBC News President Steve Capus said: "A lot has been said in recent days about what 'Meet the Press' means to NBC News and to the nation. To have someone of Tom's stature step up and dedicate himself to ensuring its ongoing success is not only a testament to his loyalty to Tim, but his enduring commitment to NBC News and our viewers." NBC�s plans for a successor to Russert, who died two weeks ago after collapsing at the network�s Washington bureau, have been the subject of hot speculation. The interim plan gives network executives time to figure out how to preserve the show�s prestige and profitability for the long run. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11249.html quote: Remember a soldier on the 4th of July![sm=flagamerican.jpg] Largest-ever care package campaign being assembled [img]http://flash.artie.com/20011115/arg-sgtrock3.gif[/img] This national birthday, July 4, would be an excellent time to remember a soldier, according to Move America Forward, the nation's largest grassroots pro-troop organization. The group is leading an effort to create the largest-ever care package campaign for U.S. troops. The organization is asking Americans to, before June 26, sponsor care packages that will be shipped to service members as part of the historic mass shipment. They are scheduled to arrive just in time for July 4th. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=66988 quote: A telling choice by NBC News Mitch Proenza The biggest dilemma NBC had in announcing the sudden passing of Tim Russert was the lack of anyone in their news department with enough stature to "break the news". Who could they choose among their ranks? NBC when they passed on hyper-partisan Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews. Sure, they hosted many hours on MSNBC collecting stories and tributes from the many colleagues who were shocked and saddened by his sudden demise. But if there was any doubt about their smallness it was summarized by Chris Matthews need to create a storyline out of the Iraq war and how Tim Russert at the beginning of the second Iraq war, the exemplifier of small town American values held with the President over the fact that Saddam was thought to have WMD's. He, Matthews, was of course not duped. Nor did they turn to Brian Williams or Matt Lauer. You can figure that out for yourself. NBC required an alumnus, someone who was untainted by the stench of the petty, the bitter and the bias that has become NBC and particular MSNBC. They chose Tom Brokaw to do it as the only person affiliated to that once great network with the gravitas to report on the death of a titan of broadcast news. Tim Russert exemplified a hard-nosed sense of fair play when it came to the reporting of and the examination of political events. He managed to disguise his politics and view point and helped separate the facts from the fantasy and spin of both the two major political parties. At the end of the day it was the conservative media, both on radio and the internet that will give him his greatest tributes. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/06/a_telling_choice_by_nbc_news.html NY Post: Olbermann[sm=pig.gif] Threatens to Quit if Not Made 'Meet the Press' Host[sm=thumbsup.gif] quote: Jeez guys.

You Need a Weatherman To Tell Which Way Obama Will Go quote: Obama's Propagandistic Iconography: the Making of a [sm=angelic.gif]Messiah By Warner Todd Huston \| June 22, 2008 - 14:45 ET A photographic essay of Obama propaganda and the Media's willing assistance with it In America we have always been a skeptical people. One of our states even has a skeptical motto. Missouri calls itself the "Show Me State" proving that Missourians don't imagine they'd be apt to have the wool pulled over their eyes too readily. Consequently, when most American citizens look at their politicians they usually view them through a prism of skepticism and since the assassination of John F. Kennedy, our skepticism has almost bordered on the irrational.(Photo with Obama logo behind by Reuters) The American press has traditionally been even harder on our politicians and government than even the average American. Since the first days of our country, the press has savaged, doubted, dug up dirt and attacked our politicians, seeming to never believe a word the pols say. From George Washington to George Bush, the press has been at odds with politicians. Yet, for some unexplainable reason, the pretentiousness and presumption of Barack Obama is being allowed to pass uncommented upon. The media especially is allowing him to make all sorts of claims that they should never allow anyone else to get away with. They are unquestioning with his claim to be the candidate of "change" and the candidate that will "reach across the aisle." Neither claim can be substantiated by the man's career thus far. He does not reach across the aisle and he is responsible for no great program of change. A properly skeptical press would ask for the proof of Obmam's claims, but they merely smile and allow him to ramble on as if what he is saying is unassailable. Story Continues Below Ad ↓ But the media is especially compliant where it concerns the Obama campaign's graphic designs, displays that can be so easily compared to religious [sm=angelic.gif]iconography or even old style communist propaganda. The overblown, obscenely reverential posters featuring Obama's upturned face in Jesus-like poses have gone uncommented upon by what should be a hard-nosed, doubtful media. These over-the-top graphic images in the form of posters and campaign literature design are amazing for their obvious propagandistic style, yet the media seem not to find any reason to be off put by the absurdity of these graphics. Nor have they noticed the campaign art's similarity to communist imagery. One can't help but wonder why this blatant re-use of the graphic style used by Stalin, Hitler and Mao has raised not the slightest question in the minds of the American media? http://newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-huston/2008/06/22/obamas-propagandistic-iconography-making-messiah quote: Encouraging illegals to 'game' the system Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 6/20/2008 10:10:00 AMBookmark and Share Illegal alien road signAn immigration reform organization says a recent Supreme Court ruling has made it easier for some foreign nationals who overstay their visas to remain in the U.S. legally. In a 5-4 decision, the high court ruled that someone who is in the country illegally may withdraw a voluntary agreement to depart and continue to try to adjust his or her status while in the United States. The case involved a Nigerian national who overstayed his visa and later married an American woman. Authorities wanted to force him out of the country. But in ruling in the majority in the case, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote an opinion favorable to his efforts to remain in the country. Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, explains the basics of the case. "This is a case where you have somebody who had accepted voluntary departure -- and then suddenly thought of a reason why he might be able to be allowed to stay and wants to withdraw his voluntary departure agreement." http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=144376 Under the Marxist like Barry, illegals will bring cousins, uncles,aunts,grandmas,grandfathers..etc..& the fence will not be completed![:'(] Paul Supporters Fall Short in Montana Warrant issued for CBS News anchor Katie [sm=silly.gif]Couric And Keith Obamman has I think 5 warrants out on him...if this was you or me they'd drag us off the air!

Saudi Arabia's commitment to government and business leaders to pump 9.7 million barrels a day next month came after crude rose to a record $139.89 in New York on June 16. Saudi King Abdullah said at today's summit that his country, the world's biggest oil exporter, seeks ``reasonable'' prices. OPEC President Chakib Khelil said a Saudi boost is ``illogical'' because refiners don't need more crude. The International Energy Agency estimates that world oil use this year will climb 800,000 barrels a day, or 1 percent, as demand climbs in emerging markets. Stagnating production from Russia and the North Sea and disruption in Nigeria are also contributing to higher prices, which have touched off strikes, riots and accelerating inflation in nations around the world. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=agZ1gqbuhxpo US charitable donations top $300 bn in 2007 The stinginess of those great so called Christians Barry & Michelle adds nothing to this..they prefer socialism as opposed to their family sacrificing & maybe giving to the needy by the bare minimum of 10%/they give a mere pittance of the 10% minimum & seemingly towards Black Liberation Theology; esp. since Barry's book sales are at 7 times what they were about a year ago!

The criticism, to be aired Tuesday on Dobson's Focus on the Family radio program, comes shortly after an Obama aide suggested a meeting at the organization's headquarters here, said Tom Minnery, senior vice president for government and public policy at Focus on the Family. The conservative Christian group provided The Associated Press with an advance copy of the pre-taped radio segment, which runs 18 minutes and highlights excerpts of a speech Obama gave in June 2006 to the liberal Christian group Call to Renewal.

brooklynsblessed1 -> 10 Barry Concerns!!! (6/24/2008 9:40:03 PM)
quote: 10 Concerns about Barack Obama It's policy. By William J. Bennett & Seth Leibsohn 1. Barack Obama�s foreign policy is dangerous, na�ve, and betrays a profound misreading of history. For at least the past five years, Democrats and liberals have said our standing in the international community has suffered from a �cowboy� or �go-it-alone� foreign policy. While politicians with favorable views of our president have been elected in Germany, Italy, France, and elsewhere, Barack Obama is giving cause to make our allies even more nervous. This past Sunday�s Washington Post reported, �European officials are increasingly concerned that Sen. Barack Obama�s campaign pledge to begin direct talks with Iran on its nuclear program without preconditions could potentially rupture U.S. relations with key European allies early in a potential Obama administration.� Barack Obama�s stance toward Iran is as troubling as it is dangerous. By stating and maintaining that he would negotiate with Iran, �without preconditions,� and within his first year of office, he will give credibility to, and reward for his intransigence, the head of state of the world�s chief sponsor of terrorism. Such a meeting will also undermine and send the exact wrong signal to Iranian dissidents. And, he will lower the prestige of the office of the president: In his own words he stated, �If we think that meeting with the president is a privilege that has to be earned, I think that reinforces the sense that we stand above the rest of the world at this point in time.� Not only has his stance toward Iran caused concern among our allies in Europe, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton called it, �Irresponsible and frankly na�ve.� ↓ Keep reading this article ↓ Barack Obama�s position on negotiating with U.S. enemies betrays a profound misreading of history. In justifying his position that he would meet with Iran without precondition and in his first year of office, Barack Obama has said, �That is what Kennedy did with Khrushchev; that�s what Nixon did with Mao; what Reagan did with Gorbachev.� http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MzQ4YTY4YjQyMzRjYjA5MGZlNDBiZTkwYmEyODg5NTc=&w=MA I would add #11 Michelle Obama's popping off at times!

Currently on inactive reserve, Rotunda has the unique perspective of having been face-to-face with some of the terrorist suspects incarcerated at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. The author of Honor Bound: Inside the Guantanamo Trials recently read a report from a group known as Physicians for Human Rights which claimed that, upon examining 11 former detainees, they found evidence of torture and abuse by U.S. military health professionals. Rotunda says it was quite interesting that the advocacy group would not reveal the identities of any of these men it claimed to have examined. http://www.onenewsnow.com/Security/Default.aspx?id=149958 [img]http://www.sjs-vitamins-shop.com/veggies3.jpg[/img] quote: BROOKLYNS BLURBS To Your Health: Risk Of Dying Linked To Low Vitamin D Study: Low Levels Of Vitamin D Ups Risk Of Dying From Heart[sm=heart.gif] Disease, Other Causes http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/06/23/health/webmd/main4203828.shtml?source=RSSattr=Health_4203828 Arpaio[sm=usa.gif] plans to sweep Mesa on Thursday[sm=thumbsup.gif] Why would media tip off illegal lawbreakers a couple days in advance???

"The death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child," wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy, who authored the majority opinion. The ruling broke on party lines, the liberal Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer siding with Kennedy. In their decision, the liberal justices ruled that a Louisiana law that sent 43 year-old man named Patrick Kennedy to death row in 2003 for raping his 8-year old stepdaughter was �cruel and unusual punishment.� http://www.townhall.com/columnists/AmandaCarpenter/2008/06/25/scotus_no_execution_for_child_rape Surprisingly even Obama feels child rapists should be considered to be toasted![sm=thumbsup.gif] quote: Pelosi Supports 'Fairness Doctrine' by John Gizzi Posted: 06/25/2008 The speaker of the House made it clear to me and more than forty of my colleagues yesterday that a bill by Rep. Mike Pence (R.-Ind.) to outlaw the �Fairness Doctrine� (which a liberal administration could use to silence Rush Limbaugh, other radio talk show hosts and much of the new alternative media) would not see the light of day in Congress during �08. In ruling out a vote on Pence�s proposed Broadcaster's Freedom Act, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-CA.) also signaled her strong support for revival of the �Fairness Doctrine� -- which would require radio station owners to provide equal time to radio commentary when it is requested. Experts say that the �Fairness Doctrine,� which was ended under the Reagan Administration, would put a major burden on small radio stations in providing equal time to Rush Limbaugh and other conservative broadcasters, who are a potent political force. Rather than engage in the costly practice of providing that time, the experts conclude, many stations would simply not carry Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and other talk show hosts who are likely to generate demands for equal time. At a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor yesterday, I asked Pelosi if Pence failed to get the required signatures on a discharge petition to get his anti-Fairness Doctrine bill out of committee, would she permit the Pence measure to get a floor vote this year. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=27185 Gallup Daily: Obama, McCain Tied at 45% Barry never received a traditional double digit lead after he beat Clinton..wonder why & wonder when our 527s start advertising and the media's feet might get held to the fire for bias (that's what madam-do-nothing needs to look into) what'll start to happen to Barry's $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$--it'll drop off!

The image, purporting to come from the Hawaii Department of Health, has been the subject of intense skepticism in the blogosphere in the past two weeks. But now the senior spokesman of that Department has confirmed to Israel Insider what are the required features of a certified birth document -- features that Obama's purported "birth certificate" clearly lack. The image became increasingly suspect with Israel Insider's revelation that variations of the certificate image were posted on the Photobucket image aggregation website -- including one listing the location of Obama's birth as Antarctica, one with the certificate supposedly issued by the government of North Korea, and another including a purported photo of baby Barack -- one of which has a "photo taken" time-stamp just two minutes before the article and accompanying image was posted on the left-wing Daily Kos blog. http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12939.htm [img]http://www.artie.com/20040716/arg-dollar-full-207x165-bluebg-url.gif[/img] There is NO recession..that's a lie of the democrats & the drive-by media.My very 1st month of stock trading that ended Mon..had me as a rookie making several hundred dollars profit...& today although mostly in Manhattan on Wed. & away from computers I made $134 in a topsy turvey market due to a wishy washy fed!

Edwin Ramos, 21, of El Sobrante, who police say is a member of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) street gang, was formally charged late Thursday with three counts of murder in the shooting deaths Sunday of Tony Bologna, 48, and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. He is being held without bail. Authorities say Ramos has admitted that he was in the car from which the fatal shots were fired in the Excelsior district just after 3 p.m. Sunday, but that he denies having pulled the trigger.

And it is good news. Contrary to the wishes of much, if not most, of the American media and their fellow believers in the Democratic Party, the United States and its allies are winning the war against Islamic aggression on the battlefields, although our courts and our media seem determined to do their utmost to turn this victory into defeat (see the New York Times coverage and the Supreme Court's decision in Boumediene). Most of the US media has placed its eggs into the basket of American defeat and support for the Islamic barbarians we are facing. So it is as welcome as it is rare to see that The Times of London today has a column that points our the indisputable fact that the West is winning. As The Times reports on the situation in Afghanistan and Iraq, reporter Gerard Baker begins his story by quoting the famous statement by World War I Allied commander Marshal Foch, "My centre is giving way. My right is in retreat. Situation excellent. I shall attack!� If only our political leaders and opinion-formers displayed even a hint of the defiant resilience that carried Marshal Foch to victory at the Battle of the Marne. But these days timorous defeatism is on the march. In Britain setbacks in the Afghan war are greeted as harbingers of inevitable defeat. In America, large swaths of the political class continues to insist Iraq is a lost cause. The consensus in much of the West is that the War on Terror is unwinnable. And yet the evidence is now overwhelming that on all fronts, despite inevitable losses from time to time, it is we who are advancing and the enemy who is in retreat. The current mood on both sides of the Atlantic, in fact, represents a kind of curious inversion of the great French soldier's dictum: �Success against the Taleban. Enemy giving way in Iraq. Al-Qaeda on the run. Situation dire. Let's retreat!� http://newsbusters.org/blogs/richard-newcomb/2008/06/27/london-times-war-were-winning-despite-western-media Pastor Challenges IRS, Urges Congregation Not [sm=christianity.jpg]to Vote for Dems quote: THE BLURB$ BU$INE$$ BEAT: US tax rebates boosted consumer spending in May Fri Jun 27, 12:21 PM ET [img]http://petulina.euweb.cz/obrazky/9/cash_register.jpg[/img] WASHINGTON (AFP) - US consumer spending rose 0.8 percent in May, as Americans spent the proceeds of tax rebate checks, while incomes swelled 1.9 percent, a government report showed Friday.

quote: Amid policy disputes, Qaeda grows in Pakistan By Mark Mazzetti and David Rohde Published: June 30, 2008 WASHINGTON: Late last year, top Bush administration officials decided to take a step they had long resisted. They drafted a secret plan to authorize the Pentagon's Special Operations forces to launch missions into the snow-capped mountains of Pakistan to capture or kill top leaders of Al Qaeda. Intelligence reports for more than a year had been streaming in about Osama bin Laden's terror network rebuilding in the Pakistani tribal areas, a problem that had been exacerbated by years of missteps in Washington and the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, sharp policy disagreements, and turf battles between American counterterrorism agencies. The new plan, outlined in a highly classified Pentagon order, was designed to eliminate some of those battles. And it was meant to pave an easier path into the tribal areas for American commandos, who for years have bristled at what they see as Washington's risk-averse attitude toward Special Operations missions inside Pakistan. They also argue that catching Bin Laden will come only by capturing some of his senior lieutenants alive. http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/30/america/30tribal.php quote: Lieberman: U.S.[sm=flagamerican.jpg] May Be Attacked In 2009 McCain Supporter Says Terrorists Have Tested New Presidents By Launching Attacks In First Year Of Term http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/06/29/ftn/main4217516.shtml Is Carly Fiorina[sm=elephant.gif] the Answer to McCain�s Prayers for a VP?

The respondent is an atheist who claims he can refute any argument raised in defense of the Christian faith. I have irritated him so much by answering his poorly researched responses he sends to me that his true character is spilling out in a public way. His personal emails to me are worse than what I have reproduced here. If you want to know what the world would be like with atheists in control, here's a little taste: It's good that Christians homeschool. We need citizens to clean our toilets and mow our lawns. Perhaps some homeschooled Christians will be able to fill these types of jobs. The rest will be unemployable retards like their parents. Here's what I want homeschoolers to do: First, reply to this article and leave a comment describing what kind of work you are doing since you completed homeschooling. Second, send this article and its link to every homeschooler and homeschool organization you know and encourage them to leave a comment at the end of this article describing what they are doing since being homeschooled. Third, I don't want to exclude those who have graduated from a private or church-related Christian school.

Kennedy was either the deciding "swing vote" or the determining factor in each one. The only case correctly decided was (1) District of Columbia v. Heller. Justice Scalia wrote the Heller decision, which holds that an individual right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment. He is one of four conservative justices on the court.

brooklynsblessed1 -> 08' Campaign Grows Angry! (7/1/2008 6:51:35 AM)
quote: U.S. political campaign grows angry By Brian Knowlton Published: June 30, 2008 WASHINGTON: The U.S. presidential campaign turned angry Monday as supporters of John McCain rolled out a full-throated defense against attacks on the quality of his military experience and Senator Barack Obama attacked head-on the persistent rumors that his loyalties to the country were doubtful. The McCain campaign appeared incensed by comments Sunday by an Obama supporter, the retired General Wesley Clark, that even heroic service by the Arizona senator as a naval aviator in Vietnam did not prepare him for the presidency. "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president," Clark said.[sm=fireanger.gif] http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/30/america/campaign.php Does anyone remember this tin star general's record w/ NATO?

The magazine based its claim on a column I had written in May 2007 about why I could not support John McCain for the Republican presidential nomination. The magazine was wrong. Though I did not support Sen. McCain in the Republican primaries, the moment he became the presumptive Republican candidate I endorsed him wholeheartedly for president of the United States.[sm=flagamerican.jpg] Having not been a supporter from the outset, perhaps my endorsement of John McCain will carry more weight among conservatives who are still undecided about whether to vote for John McCain. My bottom line is this: The gulf between John McCain and conservatives is miniscule compared to the gulf between John McCain and Barack Obama. This is true regarding virtually every issue of significance to America. The America that a President Barack Obama would shape, with the help of a Democratic Congress and a liberal Supreme Court, would be very dissimilar from the America shaped by a President John McCain. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2008/07/01/why_i_support_john_mccain VIDEO: Harry Reid Says "Coal Makes Us Sick" [img]http://idexer.com/straw/data/emoticons/rofl.gif[/img][img]http://idexer.com/straw/data/emoticons/rofl.gif[/img][img]http://idexer.com/straw/data/emoticons/rofl.gif[/img] Bush administration delaying Medicare fee cut [img]http://www.artie.com/20040719/arg-house-in-woods-unwrapping-207x165-url.gif[/img] The Obamas and their Mortgage quote: Michelle Obama Praises Husband's Commitment to Homosexuals By Fred Lucas CNSNews.com Staff Writer July 01, 2008 (CNSNews.com) - The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told a crowd of homosexual activists last week that her husband wants to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and reverse the rule on homosexuals in the military. Michelle Obama also drew parallels with homosexual advocacy groups and the civil rights movement, referring to events "from Selma to Stonewall."++++ Speaking to the Democratic National Committee's Gay and Lesbian Leadership Committee last Thursday in New York City, Michelle Obama said her husband supports "a world where federal laws don't discriminate against same-sex relationships, including equal treatment for any relationship recognized under state law." "That is why he supports robust civil unions," she said. "That is why he has said the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide for themselves how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples -- whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union or a civil marriage." http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200807/POL20080701a.html These alledged Christians The Obama's have no problem w/ their daughters learning in school things like Sally has two daddies; I guess that goes for your kids too. ++++Many blacks and civil rights leaders become livid when they hear gay benefit grabs discussed as being just like the civil rights movement.

The Democratic Party is also staunchly supported in primary battles and in fundraising drives by hard-core pro-choice liberals -- we're talking the same people who fought tooth-and-nail the federal ban on Partial-Birth Abortion. So when a group of black ministers conducted a protest march in Washington, D.C., last week to raise awareness of its criticism of Planned Parenthood, media outlets had the recipe, instantly, for stories about possible conflicts that could divide the Democratic Party coalition on substantive, hot-button issues. To perhaps no one's surprise here at NewsBusters, while the media covered the much hyped "Unity" rally in New Hampshire, the cable networks failed to even show up to shoot B-roll of Thursday's pro-life march on the DNC and RNC headquarters.

The pastors are showing their ire by launching a petition drive to overturn an action by the city commission. Cane Davis is with Citizens for Good Public Policy (CGPP). "On January 28, they passed an ordinance that basically gives women and men the right to utilize the restrooms of the opposite sex," Davis explains. The ordinance accommodates the transgendered population � meaning a man who believes himself to be a woman could use the women's restroom. Critics argues that rapists and child molesters who are faking transgenderism could take advantage of the ordinance. Yet there are only 12 known transgendered individuals in the area. And the population of Gainesville? "Roughly around...120,000," Davis says. http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=157868 [img]http://toons.artie.com/kennedy/arg-earsy-nosey-med-url.gif[/img] THE HIGH COURT'S SUPREME CLOWN Romney tops McCain[sm=elephant.gif] veep list *A bigger flip-flopper than Kerry* & Mass. socialized medical plan not a great idea!** [img]http://www.nowandforeverweddings.com/graphics/gay_weddings/gay%20wedding%20couple.jpg[/img] quote: Obama's Pro-Gay Flyers July 1, 2008 Barack Obama may be talking up his [so-called]Christian faith like he's doing today in Ohio and trying his best to appeal to Evangelicals with a �new kind of politics,� but he�s got a problem. Many of his positions are the same liberal positions that have turned off Evangelicals for years. Obama delivered another speech about faith Tuesday. He�s done a few of these concerning his faith and how it shapes his public policy. But Sunday his campaign and the Democratic Party were handing out pro-gay rights flyers at the Pride Festival in St. Louis. How is that going to play in the heartland? The Brody File has four flyers in its possession. You can view them by clicking here and here and here and here. These are larger files, so please give them a moment to download. Obama has passed the first hurdle by engaging people of faith and being willing to discuss his faith openly. He has passed with flying colors. But now comes the hard part. It�s called scrutiny. His political opponents believe that once Evangelicals really get a handle on what Obama is all about policy wise, then they�ll be turned off and they won�t buy in to the lofty rhetoric. http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/401969.aspx quote: Church Attendance Beneficial to Marriage[sm=christianity.jpg], Researcher Says By Michael Gryboski CNSNews.com Correspondent July 02, 2008 (CNSNews.com) - Married couples who attend church together tend to be happier than couples who rarely or never attend services, according to sociologist W. Bradford Wilcox of the University of Virginia. Using three nationally representative surveys - the General Social Survey (GSS), the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), and the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) - Wilcox found that married church-going Americans across denominational and racial classifications were more likely to describe themselves as "very happy" than their non-religious counterparts. Couples who attended church regularly were also less likely to divorce than couples who seldom attended church services, Wilcox found. http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200807/CUL20080702a.html Obama Pays Female Staff Less Than[sm=dollars.gif] Males U.S. Leads the World in Drug Abuse [img]http://www.artie.com/business/gifs/arg-dog-eat-dog-207x165-blackout-url.gif[/img] Starbucks closing 600 stores in the US My last time at Starbuck's was taking an ex-inmate just out for (high priced) ice coffees; I blame Starbuck's for poor/slow service & high prices vs. Dunkin Doughnuts w/ quick service w/ staff acting like a team... & fast food items like breakfast items, pizza, etc. Even McDonald's have much better tasting coffee. quote: Obama campaign site: Free Islamic terrorist!

Barack Obama's official campaign site urged Americans to take action to secure the release of imprisoned terrorist fundraiser Sami Al-Arian, comparing the controversial former professor to Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. The posting, which has been removed since publication of this story, is just a sampling of a large volume of racist, anti-Semitic and pro-Palestinian rhetoric published on the user-friendly MyObama community blog pages. The Obama campaign does not monitor all blog material, which is posted by registered users, but says it removes offending posts that are brought to the attention of the administrators. In a blog post on Obama's site titled, "We are all Palestinians," user Ulf Erlingsson lamented what he called the "harsh" conditions of Al-Arian's imprisonment � explaining he "lives in segregation � is not allowed any visitors and is given only two phone calls a month." http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=68350 VIDEO: McCain: 'Get Serious' Against Internet Predators[sm=thumbsup.gif] This is not an idea pushed in an election year...but McCain has been on a child terrorist tear for years!

Carl Bernstein talks about Hillary's "dark side." Bill, says an MSNBC blogger, is a serial liar. Well, thanks for performing your journalistic duty to the American people. It only took sixteen years for our media to tell us what was clear to the rest of the world before the Clintons ever got elected in 1992. This is typical of the dismal human judgment of liberals -- it takes them more than a dozen years just to figure out they've been suckered -- or at least, to tell the rest of us what they know. It's one of their repeated intellectual failures, this inability to judge human beings with open eyes, fairly and accurately. They only have two human categories: Good and Evil. To persuade them you are Good all you need is slick talk. Political con artists learn to do that very nicely. They are attracted to the liberal mind like bees to honey. Well, today the same folks are stepping in the same doo-doo again. Michelle Obama[sm=silly.gif] is just another Hillary Clinton; she's the hard-nosed ideologue in the marriage, the scrapper who only feels happy with a long enemies' list. Michelle is bitter the way Hillary is bitter. She literally sees the world in black and white, just like Hillary sees the world as feminist good and evil. Both of them believe their political opponents are Evil -- whether their enemies are defined as white folks in general, men in general, or only Republicans. When Hillary knowingly married Bill the Sex Addict, she just confirmed her prejudices about men in general. When Michelle married Obama the Messiah, she just confirmed her prejudices about whites and blacks in America.

ABU DHABI (Reuters) - The United States will not allow Iran to block the Gulf, which carries crude from the world's largest oil exporting region, and would defend its ships in the waterway, the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet said on Wednesday.

"I believe ... Iran will not attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz and we will not allow them to close the Strait of Hormuz. I can't say it anymore clearly than that," Vice-Admiral Kevin Cosgriff, the commander of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, told a conference on Gulf naval security in Abu Dhabi.

The head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said in remarks published last week that Tehran would impose controls on shipping in the Gulf and the strategic Strait of Hormuz if it was attacked.

JERUSALEM � At a meeting with Christian leaders last month, Sen. Barack Obama reportedly was peppered with questions by Franklin Graham � son of evangelist Billy Graham � about the presidential candidate's ties to Islam, his Christian baptism and whether he accepts Jesus as his savior, it has emerged.

The new accounts, published by the Religion News Service and by the left-leaning magazine The Nation, contrast with major media reports describing Obama's closed-door meeting June 10 with Christian A-listers as friendly.

"I can confirm Rev. Graham did indeed ask Obama about his personal faith. Because it was a private meeting, it is up to Obama if he wants to release any more information," Graham's spokesman, Jeremy Blume, told WND.

Wednesday, July 2nd 2008, 1:51 AM
Bales for News

The nation's largest fireworks show, with more than 35,000 shells and choreographed to music, will be launched from six barges in two locations on the East River - allowing more viewing locations. Two single barges and one double barge will be moored between 10th and 24th Sts., and one double barge will be positioned south of the Brooklyn Bridge.

1. Midtown East (see numbers in map at right)

Starting at 7 p.m., people can walk on the southbound lanes of the FDR Drive between 42nd and Houston Sts. - with access only at 23rd, 34th, 38th and 42nd Sts. Access for the handicapped will be coordinated by the NYPD at 34th St. and the FDR. Any area with an unobstructed view of the sky above the East River will be good for the fireworks.

2. South Street Seaport

Prime viewing will be available on the lower FDR Drive, which will be closed to traffic from Broad St. to the Brooklyn Bridge for the show. The FDR will be accessible to pedestrians at the Manhattan Civic Center (Brooklyn Bridge/Pearl St. ramp). High-rises and rooftops in lower Manhattan and Brooklyn Heights are ideal for viewing.

Global Warming as Mass Neurosis[sm=Llol.gif]
July 1, 2008; Page A15

Last week marked the 20th anniversary of the mass hysteria phenomenon known as global warming. Much of the science has since been discredited. Now it's time for political scientists, theologians and psychiatrists to weigh in.

What, discredited? Thousands of scientists insist otherwise, none more noisily than NASA's Jim Hansen, who first banged the gong with his June 23, 1988, congressional testimony (delivered with all the modesty of "99% confidence").

But mother nature has opinions of her own. NASA now begrudgingly confirms that the hottest year on record in the continental 48 was not 1998, as previously believed, but 1934, and that six of the 10 hottest years since 1880 antedate 1954. Data from 3,000 scientific robots in the world's oceans show there has been slight cooling in the past five years, never mind that "80% to 90% of global warming involves heating up ocean waters," according to a report by NPR's Richard Harris.

Singer subs 'black anthem' for 'Star Spangled Banner'[:'(]
'Can you imagine what it would be like if we had a white national anthem?'
Posted: July 02, 2008
A singer who was to perform the "Star Spangled Banner" at the presentation of Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's State of the City address yesterday substituted the "Black National Anthem" without notifying anyone, because she says as a black, she just doesn't feel American.

"I pulled a switcheroonie on them," Rene Marie said in a report in the Denver Post.

In a video of the event, Marie had been introduced by city council president Michael Hancock, who said she would sing the national anthem. Instead, she sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing," also known as the "Black National Anthem," to the tune of the "Star-Spangled Banner."

^^^ME!

Wall Street loves its jargon and perhaps no two phrases are more ubiquitous than the bull and bear market. But when Wall Street traders say the stock market is teetering on the brink of a bear market, what exactly do they mean?

The general consensus among investors is a bear market occurs when a major index such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 or the Nasdaq falls 20% from its previous high.

�What happens in a bear market is everyone stops buying and the mood among investors becomes overtly pessimistic,� said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist with Schaeffer�s Investment Research.
