-- In America, where you can't be elected president without being an open Christian, why, I'm not ashamed to tell you that I just so happen to be a Christian. During these tough economic times, when you may have lost your job or your house, I, Rick Perry, know what truly matters to you: the icky icky gay people. At this very moment, some red-blooded, vagina-lovin' American soldier might be overseas with a sand nig... uh, terrorist in the sights of his assault rifle, only to have Poop Chute Pete sneak up the flank and take the shot. That shoulda been Vagina Vince's kill - not Poop Shoot Pete's. Because when it comes to killin' towel-hea...terrorists, where you ...

The Neocons Have Finally Snapped December 06, 2011 4:56 pm ET by MJ Rosenberg Any doubt we might have that the Israeli right has lost its mind should be eliminated by the latest column from one of its most prominent media figures, Caroline Glick of the Jerusalem Post. Glick, a dual citizen of the United States and Israel, has flipped out over some remarks (which we'll get to later) made last week by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and Ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman. And here is how she explains those remarks. Her first explanation is that "the Obama administration is an ideological echo chamber in which only certain positions are ...

Dumb Asses Discussing Newts School Kids Doing Some Janitorial Work Idea

#1. To: tom007 (#0) The audience at Saturday night’s Republican presidential debate gave their loud seal of approval to the idea of removing restrictions on child labor. Right! BrianWilliams had a segment on his new show about the children in West Africa working at the gold mines. Some lived two hundred miles away from home and many were as young as five. They didn't get paid a wage but were given two small buckets of dirt that may or not contain any gold. A ten hour day was the norm and many did not even have any thing to eat. Yea, we sure need to abolish child labor laws. Afterall, children need to go to work so they can start saving money to pay their share of the "national ...

IT’S probably not wise for a man who had a weepy boy crush on the last Democratic president to threaten to stalk the current one around the country. But more than anything in his Icarus flight toward the White House, Newt Gingrich seems infatuated with the idea of recreating the seven three-hour Lincoln-Douglas debates with President Obama. “I will concede in advance that he can use a teleprompter,” Gingrich said at a Republican Jewish Coalition forum here on Wednesday. The president idolizes Lincoln, but now Newt wants to ape Abe. Wherever Stephen Douglas went, Gingrich said, “Lincoln would show up one day later. And presently, Douglas began to figure out, the news ...
Rand Paul Warns GOP Voters: Gingrich, Romney Are Not Conservatives

Senator Rand Paul, a self-described representative of the Tea Party, worries that the small progress toward the restoration of limited government may be "set back" by the upcoming Republican presidential nomination. In a letter to the Des Moines Register, the son of GOP White House hopeful Ron Paul set forth his two goals for striving to protect the "conservative movement" from being hampered by the nomination of a candidate with "a different set of ideas and values." The first of Senator Paul's two goals is to "prevent the European debt crisis from consuming America next." Although certainly a priority for the Senator, the rest of the letter is ...

Before 93 percent of the U.S. Senate voted to approve the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act last week, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) tried to block a provision allowing for the indefinite detainment by the military of American citizens.
According to Paul's critics, his support for Sen. Mark Udall's (D-Colo.) amendment to the authorization bill makes him a dangerous extremist. That criticism reflects the Republican Party's long preference for powerful government and unchecked executive authority.
Paul failed to prevent the bill's sponsors, Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Carl Levin (D-Mich.), from passing this prima facie violation of the constitutional guarantee of due process. But he ...

In a year of flameouts, nonstarters and unfulfilled potential, one Republican presidential candidate is clearly exceeding expectations. His name is Ron Paul. He is eccentric and sometimes appears a little cranky, but the septuagenarian candidate has done several things that Mitt Romney can’t claim. He has raised more money in this campaign than in his last (Romney has raised more than Paul but less than he did in 2008). He has enlarged his base of support and has risen in the polls over the course of the year. Nobody thinks Paul is going to win the Republican nomination. His antiwar, anti-interventionist views on foreign policy put him well out of the Republican mainstream. Some of ...
Rand Paul: Republicans would take a giant step backward by choosing Gingrich

As a U.S. senator elected from and by the tea party, I am often asked about the tea party, the conservative movement and the presidential race. While conservatives and limited-government activists did, indeed, make great strides in 2010, those could easily be set back by nominating someone with a different set of ideas and values in 2012. Let me start with something important. I have two goals for 2012: I want to prevent the European debt crisis from consuming America next. I want to elect a president who will defend the ideas of constitutional conservatism and limited government. Unfortunately, while all Republican candidates would be an improvement over the present administration, ...
Are Arabs Stupid?

Islamic Madness—Are Arabs Stupid? By Ari Bussel Once the common belief was that Arabs are stupid. But they are not. For over a century they have tried to eliminate any Jewish presence from the Holy Land. They butchered the local Jewish population, let some time pass and always returned to their old habits. Much like the Pogroms in Europe, the massacres by the Arabs were consistent and brutal. When the global community officially recognized the Jewish right to self-determination in their ancient land, the Arabs were outraged. They engaged in numerous wars, were driven, thus relentless, to achieve their mission at all costs. In 1973 they almost succeeded, and when success—so ...

What if our rights didn't come from God or from our humanity, but from the government? What if the government really thinks we're not unique individuals with immortal souls, but just public property? What if we were only entitled to our natural rights if it pleased the government? What if our rights could be stripped away whenever the government considers us to be its enemy? What if this could all be accomplished with the consent of the people? What if the people's own representatives subverted the Constitution? What if the people were so afraid that they accepted the subversion? What if the government demonizes an external enemy and uses fear of that enemy to suppress our ...

Korn: Obama's an Illuminati puppet

President Barack Obama is loved by a lot of actors and musicians, but one band won’t be performing at any of his campaign rallies: Korn. The metal band, which rose to fame in the 1990s when its “Follow the Leader” album, spoke with Billboard.com to promote their new album, “The Path of Totality,” and explained the meaning behind some of their songs, including “Illuminati.” Frontman Jonathan Davis says: “I feel like Obama’s an Illuminati puppet. He’s basically dragged this country down into the worst it’s ever been. Like I say about the White House, ‘You’ve built this house of shame.’ Everybody looked up at the White ...
Obama's Godfather Speech The president sounds more like a Corleone than a Roosevelt.

Most press accounts of Barack Obama's speech in Osawatomie, Kansas, Tuesday described it as delivered by the "president of the United States." And indeed the person delivering it analogized himself to Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and Bill Clinton. In fact, the Osawatomie speech was not given by the President of the United States. It was given by the leader of the Democratic Party. Most of the time, this distinction isn't a problem in the United States because historically people have tended to think that the office of the presidency represents "all the people." This doesn't mean everyone expects to benefit from a ...
Macy’s Shows Religious Freedom and Homosexual Agenda Cannot Coexist

Those of us who are paying attention, who see—and can read—the writing on the wall, plainly understand that the radical sodomite agenda and America’s constitutionally-protected freedom of religion cannot coexist. The two are mutually exclusive, and Macy’s department store has given us yet another proof of this truth, which I will explain in a few moments. The advancement of the militant homosexual agenda has reached “warp speed” under Barack Obama (or whatever his name is). He has packed his administration with homosexuals, refused to defend the federal law of the Defense of Marriage Act, and signed away the sanity of our military with the repeal of ...
Why is the Obama Administration So Devoted to Criticizing Israel?

Why is the Obama Administration So Devoted to Criticizing Israel? by Newt Gingrich At a fundraiser in New York last week, President Obama said his administration "has done more in terms of the security of the state of Israel than any previous administration." Is the President looking at the same record we are? Last week's news abounded with evidence that his administration often coddles forces opposed to Israel's very existence while his officials publically brutalize Israel in the diplomatic arena. Hostility towards Israel has become a habit for members of the Obama administration. His ambassador to Belgium argued last week in a speech to the European Jewish Union ...

With all this talk of cutting the budget,WHY are we still paying a VERY generous retirement check out for a position that only requires 4 years of work at the minimum and 8 years at the maximum? Not to mention free medical care and transportation for life? After all,it ain't like these guys are going off to life a live of poverty. They all make multi-millions giving speeches,agreeing to have their names on corporate boards,etc,etc,etc. We should also DEMAND that Congresscritters and Senators retire on SS just like the rest of us,instead of receiving a VERY generous life-long pension and free medical care for life for just serving from 2 to 6 years minimum. What makes them so special ...
Philip Pilkington: Libertarianism and the Leap of Faith – The Origins of a Political Cult [Full Thread]

You wanted God’s ideas about what was best for you to coincide with your ideas, but you also wanted him to be the almighty Creator of heaven and earth so that he could properly fulfil your wish. And yet, if he were to share your ideas, he would cease to be the almighty Father.
– Søren Kierkegaard
Political cults often have the strangest and most obscure origins. Take Marxism, for example. Today it is well-known that Marxist doctrine essentially sprang out of the obscure 19th century economic debates over the source of ‘value’. By ‘proving’ – that is, lifting the assumption from classical political economy – that all ‘value’ came from labour, Karl Marx went on to show that it was ...

ANDREW: You’ve explained to me how in the libertarian society of the future, everyone will be free and their rights will not be violated. However, many people will be coerced in a noncoercive way, and a lot of people will be effectively slaves in a rights-respecting manner. Some people will be effectively killed in a rights-respecting manner. Why are you dedicating your life to making this society possible?
CODE NAME CAIN: I really take issue with the way you describe things. You twist words so that “freedom” and “rights” end up sounding like they are not always good things.

CNC: If you insist – but it will be a complicated discussion. To ...
Rand Paul prevents war with Russia

When John McCain proclaimed in 2008, “Today, we’re all Georgians,” unfortunately he was not talking about the Southern state. No, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee was declaring his — indeed, all of our — support for the nation of Georgia, which that year became involved in a brief military conflict with neighboring Russia over who had claim to the region of South Ossetia. Which country’s soldiers fired first became a matter of international dispute, but the Bush administration made clear that this would not become America’s dispute; there would be no military response by the United States. Defense Secretary Robert Gates stressed that America had ...
Is The Fate Of Mitt Romney's Presidential Campaign In The Hands Of A Reuters FOIA Request?

It appears the GOP candidates are dropping like flies: first that one crazy guy, then Cain, and now... Mitt Romney? According to a Boston Globe article, paraphrased by Reuters, the GOP frontrunner (or is that second after Gingrich now: nobody really knows any more), spent $100,000, not of his own money but state funds, to "replace computers in his office at the end of his term as governor of Massachusetts in 2007 as part of an unprecedented effort to keep his records secret. When Romney left the governorship of Massachusetts, 11 of his aides bought the hard drives of their state-issued computers to keep for themselves. Also before he left office, the governor's staff had emails and ...

As bad as the original interview was, Romney’s reaction simply confirms the perception that Romney will have trouble in a general election. If he can’t handle totally legitimate questions from Baier, and his team will not let him appear before the Center Seat panel, then how will he hold up when the media and Team Obama gang up on him? Newt Gingrich, by contrast, had a great interview on Hannity last night. (Newt previously appeared on Center Seat.) It’s well worth watching the whole thing (video at bottom of post). There simply is no other candidate running who has the command of the issues, the vision of how to take on Obama, and the ability to communicate a positive ...

ANDREW: In the last interview, you told us how GLOs in the Middle Ages were noblemen, publicly recognized as being a cut above the ordinary person. Have the rich people and corporate leaders of today also risen to the top by being natural leaders?
CODE NAME CAIN: No. Rich men still exist today, but more frequently than not they owe their fortune… directly or indirectly to the state. Hence they are often more dependent on the state’s continued favors than people of far ...
Cain implosion may help Ron Paul in Iowa and New Hampshire

The biggest news of the weekend in Presidential politics is the decision by businessman Herman Cain to suspend his campaign over allegations of marital infidelity. When the allegations against Cain started rolling out, his poll numbers dropped precipitiously. According to the most recent polls in New Hampshire and Iowa, Cain is receiving single-digit support, down from the high twenties just a few weeks ago.
Congressman Ron Paul is enjoying a trend in Iowa and New Hampshire that is moving in the other direction.
According to a new poll conducted by the Des Moines Register, Paul is now in second place behind Newt Gingrich. The latest New Hampshire polls (see above link) have Paul a ...
