'Mother,' 'Father' Changing to 'Parent One,' 'Parent Two' on Passport Applications: "Gay rights groups are applauding the decision. 'Changing the term mother and father to the more global term of parent allows many different types of families to be able to go and apply for a passport for their child without feeling like the government doesn’t recognize their family,' said Jennifer Chrisler, executive director of Family Equality Council.”

Haiti, Sudan, Côte d'Ivoire: Who Cares? "Haitians have been as ill-served by their democracy as by their periodic dictatorships. When 'Baby Doc' Duvalier was overthrown in 1986, per capita GDP was $768. In 2009, on the eve of the quake, it was $519. ...Criminality is rampant, and Haiti ranked 177th out of 179 on Transparency International's 2008 corruption index....Haiti has run out of excuses for its failures at the very moment the 'international community' has run out of ideas about how to help.

     "Maybe the U.N. should be called in to take charge. But events in Côte d'Ivoire suggest otherwise. ...its president, Laurent Gbagbo, refuses to concede an election the U.N. insists he lost.... U.N. peacekeepers aren't going to force him out. The State Department's brainstorm is to entice the president to leave by offering him a high-paying job at an international organization, perhaps the U.N. itself.

     "So here you have an administration that professes to believe in the U.N. prepared to see a senior job in that organization filled by a Third World would-be tyrant. There's the U.N. and all its failures explained in a nutshell." See Lawlessness

Putting a gun to the public's head: "Government's most essential function is to protect citizens.... Camden, N.J., is one of the most dangerous cities in the nation....In fact, Camden was rated the 'most dangerous city in America' in 2003, 2004 and 2008.... So what did the city fathers of Camden do when faced with a $25.5 million budget deficit? They voted Thursday to lay off 200 police and firefighters along with 200 other city workers....

      "Laying off police and firefighters guarantees that lives will be lost in Camden because of the [liberal] council's gamesmanship. But this kind of thing works. Hit the public where it hurts."

Admiral to Christians: 'Find another place to work, Period! "The pro-homosexual Admiral Mike Mullen said in hearings Friday that 'intense' training will be forced upon combat troops who resist open homosexual sin, and those Christians who refuse to shower or sleep with homosexuals can 'find another place to work. Period.'"

Remember what President George Washington said more than two centuries ago: "Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair [find refuge]; the rest is in the hands of God." How America has changed since then!

McCain: 264,600 may quit military: "...critics are also warning that accepting open homosexuality and pro-homosexual 'reprogramming' could drive massive numbers of troops out of the service.... Maginnis said the results of the survey consistently show that two service members oppose DADT repeal for every supporter... 'Their message is that the potential exists for disruption of the successful execution of our current combat mission should repeal be implemented at this time,' said Marine Corps commandant Gen. James Amos."

ACORN bankruptcy a hoax: "ACORN is already planning to reorganize under a new name, says analyst Matthew Vadum.'...'ACORN did not die and will not die at the conclusion of the bankruptcy proceeding.'

     "...the ACORN affiliate President Obama worked for in the early 1990s, is noted radical professor Frances Fox Piven. Piven, an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, is one of the authors of the so-called Cloward-Piven strategy. The 1960s proposal sought to bring socialist revolution to the United States by flooding cities with welfare applicants, bankrupting them, and provoking an economic and political collapse.... ACORN is a shell corporation that runs hundreds of nonprofit affiliates." See From Freedom to Servitude - Part 1

Auditions for nude reality show to air live online from Land O'Lakes: "Producers of a proposed all-nude reality television show plan to stream next month's auditions live over the Internet.

Islam at gates because of collapse of West: "Massive mosques erected across America, including on the site of a buildings struck by the 9/11 attacks; more Muslims in Washington's power structure than ever before; presidential celebrations of 'Iftar;' and the formal recognition of Islam's power inside America's business world with footbaths and prayer times.

    "...the collapse of the West is not because Islam is at the gates, (but) Islam is at the gates because of the collapse of the West.' The verdict comes from Global Information Systems, an intelligence network whose unclassified analysis is used by the U.S. government.... Copley describes a 'gathering storm' engulfing the eastern Mediterranean region, spawned by a relative strategic decline in America's ability to sustain its projection of global military dominance."

Court allows use of fake Social Security Number: "The Colorado Supreme Court has reversed the conviction of a man who admitted using someone else's Social Security number to obtain a loan, concluding that the defendant wasn't really trying to assume a false identity." See Deception

Vets say 'gay' ruling must be appealed: "While the actual law adopted by Congress after hearings and debate at the time determines there is no constitutional right to serve in the military, the practice ordered by Clinton allowed homosexuals to be in the military if they 'didn't tell.' ... The Pentagon said it would comply with the order, which appeared to cancel all investigations of those homosexuals who had made their lifestyle a public issue while in the military... 'Our military is engaged in two wars,' [National Commander Foster] said. 'Military commanders have much more important issues to deal with. This is not about politics. It's about doing what's best for our troops and not distracting from the war effort. Our military should not be micro-managed by judicial edicts.'" Depravity

Did Clinton help create a 'convenient crisis'?  9/11 Cover-Up: "Some of the additional redactions [from a revealing 'memoir'] were clearly intended to protect sensitive intelligence-gathering techniques. ... The DIA wanted to delete references to a meeting between Mr. Shaffer and Philip Zelikow, the executive director of the 9/11 Commission. At this meeting, Mr. Shaffer says he told the commissioner that Sept. 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta had been identified before the attacks by the Special Operation Command's 'Able Danger' program. The DIA has long tried to squelch this discussion.

     "On Sept. 21, 2005, Attorney Mark Zaid - representing Mr. Shaffer and others who worked on Able Danger but were ordered not to discuss it - testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on this and other matters. He said, "It is Lt. Col. Shaffer's specific recollection that he informed those in attendance, which included several Defense Department personnel, that Able Danger had identified two of the three successful 9/11 cells to include Atta....' This matter was not mentioned in the final 9/11 report.....I

     "If the government had specific information on the al Qaeda terror cells planning the Sept. 11 attacks dating back to 2000, it would be a severe embarrassment to Clinton administration officials who were in office at the time. Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger pled guilty in 2005 to removing and destroying classified material from the National Archives that may have had a bearing on the issue. Now the government is attempting to keep Mr. Shaffer muzzled on what he knew. If nothing else, this strange episode will reenergize the critical questions regarding the official story about what the Clinton administration knew before the Sept. 11 attacks, and why they failed to take effective action."

New York Violating MOVE Act: "More than one week after its extended deadline, New York still hasn’t mailed out absentee ballots to all its 320,000 military servicemen and women and overseas voters....'The gravity of New York's failure cannot be overstated. With approximately 50,000 military and overseas voters in New York City alone, there is no doubt that the November elections could be altered by this failure.'...

     "E-mail requests for comment sent to the co-directors, other Board of Elections officials and its spokesman were not returned..... Sen. Schumer said: "Put these ballots on the next plane to Afghanistan. These soldiers sacrifice their lives to protect our freedoms, they should never, ever be denied their right to vote. I wrote and passed this law so our brave men and women overseas would no longer be disenfranchised and there is absolutely no excuse for failing to get this done."

 

Firemen Explosion Testimony: "This video was received from NIST under the Freedom of Information Act."

Penny-Wise on Crime (by Thomas Sowell): "...the political left has been coming up with reasons why criminals should not be punished as much, or at all....According to the New York Times, 'a three-year prison sentence would run more than $37,000 while probation would cost $6,770.' For a more serious crime, where a 5-year imprisonment would cost more than $50,000, it would cost less than $9,000 for what is described as 'five years of intensive probation.'...

     "What is the cost of turning criminals loose? Phrases like 'intensive probation' may create the illusion that criminals at large are somehow under control of the authorities but illusions are especially dangerous when it comes to crime....

     "Why are we counting only the cost to the government of putting a criminal behind bars, but not the cost to the public of turning him loose? Some may say that it is not possible to quantify the costs of the dangers and anxieties of the public when more criminals are walking the streets. That is certainly true, if you mean the full costs. But we can quantify the money costs-- and just the money costs to the public vastly exceed the costs to the government of locking up criminals. In Britain, where the 'alternatives to incarceration' vogue has led to only 7 percent of convicted criminals being put behind bars, the annual cost of the prison system has been estimated at just under two billion pounds sterling. Meanwhile, the annual financial cost alone of crimes committed against the public has been an estimated sixty billion pounds sterling....

      "In all these calculations we are leaving out the costs of violence, intimidation and the fears that people have for the safety of themselves and their children, not to mention the sense of helplessness and outrage when the society refuses to pay as much attention to innocent victims as they lavish on the criminals who victimize them."

Federal Salaries Now Twice That of Private Sector: "So while private workers across America watch their jobs disappear... privileged federal bureaucrats enjoy earnings that reach twice the size of the very private workers who pay them.

Obama's immigration back door -- The federal government has become the enemy of the law: "The Obama administration's way to deal with the problem of illegal immigration is to declare it legal. This is the upshot of an 11-page memo from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) about 'Administrative alternatives to comprehensive immigration reform.' As the title suggests, it is a compendium of backdoor measures the executive branch claims it can take without having to deal with pesky things like congressional authorization." See Corruption

Black members of tea party dispute racist claims: "The black members said the racism that has been attributed to the tea party movement came from outsiders who infiltrated the groups to discredit their work...
