I am not particularly familiar with The Christian  Science Monitor. It does not appear to be connected to “mainstream” Christianity - and is instead evidently another Obama administration support organ, like MSNBC, but with a religious slant.

In a recent article, they speak favorably of the Muslim Brotherhood, a “people-powered political movement” ( Read more... )

A brief follow-up on that lead image from the Washingtonian Mom section on Jay Carney and Claire Shipman I wrote about this morning. It is somewhat ironic that Shipman’s new book stresses the importance of confidence over competence. The resulting article seems to be a result of lack of competence, boldly proclaimed.

Claire Shipman probably still ( Read more... )

There’s a bit of tittering, and Twittering, on the Internet about a Washington “power couple” and the photographs of their home in a piece in the Washington puff-magazine called the Washingtonian. Most are treating the pictures as unintentionally hilarious, and I can see that - the Photoshop work is crude indeed.

Up against the wall

But another ( Read more... )

This cartoon by Stilton Jarlsburg from the Travon Martin verdict last year is at once both sad and amusing. The amusing part is the exposure of the meaninglessness of President Obama’s “circle of compassion” speech (and Jarlsburg goes after the “trapezoid of meaningless rhetoric” and “the dodecahedron of decency.” But the sad part, of course, is ( Read more... )

We are relaxing to the idea of every communication between us being monitored by a government that considers the other political party to be “enemies.”  (Isn’t it odd that President Obama will talk about compromises with Iranian jihadists, but not with Republicans?)

As has been revealed recently, NSA has ( Read more... )

The communists at SocialistWorker.org are heartbroken, as right-to-work laws are allowing workers to make a choice about whether or not to join the union.

And most horribly of all (in their minds it is “a nightmare”), people are investing and opening businesses and creating jobs as a result:

“RIGHT-TO-work” became the law in Indiana earlier this ( Read more... )

In Citizen Tom’s blog, he wrote a post entitled “Three Things You Probably Don’t Know about Islam.” In the discussion that followed, Citizen Tom wrote:

What makes the Bible different is that it promotes freedom of religion. Jesus told us to render unto Caesar what Caesar’s and God what is God’s. The Bible says that what we each believe about God is ( Read more... )

The National Lawyers Guild

Just a few days ago, I mentioned the National Lawyers Guild (using its abbreviation NLG) to a person who portrayed himself as a lawyer involved with Constitutional issues. The NLG is a group of largely communist, America-hating lawyers and activists founded (along with the ACLU) by liberals and communists including Soviet ( Read more... )

What’s the difference between 110,000,000 people and 5,000 people?

Differences

In one way of looking at it, one of these numbers is 22,000 times as large as the other. But the real difference in these two groups of Americans that have had their phone records obtained by the US Government without prior court approval, is probable cause. From the US ( Read more... )

In Citizen Tom’s blog, he’s been interacting with a person using the monikers “scout” and “novascout”; I pitched in a bit:

Scout wrote:The problem with defunding Obamacare is that the Republicans had nothing to replace it with.
You say the most astounding things. Earlier, you asserted that the Speaker of the House “is not particularly in charge” and ( Read more... )
