Biofuels Forcing World To Ration Food Aid
GreeenIsm piece by Dennis T. and Alex A. Avery (3/17/08)
The World Food Program is preparing to ration food aid for the world’s hungriest poor. Why? Primarily because we’re burning food in our automobiles. The rich-country mandates for biofuels have doubled and tripled world food prices in less than three years.
‘Why Is Everyone Lying About Energy?’
In early March, President Bush, addressing an International Renewable Energy Conference, was widely quoted saying that the United States has to “get off oil.” Earlier he had said that America was “addicted” to oil. These are such huge lies one wonders why he is telling them, unless perhaps he has quietly been investing in ethanol production.

Church and State are Mutually Supportive
“The Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People.” General Prologue to the Wycliffe Bible in 1384.
World Missions Invoked As Excuse For Ecclesiastical Socialism
During the 1980’s, Phil Donahue use to get on his show and wring his hands about how guilty he felt for being an American while much of the world languished in poverty and despair. While Donahue was noted for being an avowed secularist, similar tactics are often invoked in churches across the United States in order to manipulate good natured parishioners into forking over their incomes in what amounts to a shameless redistribution of income that would make many IRS agents blush.
Three candidates for global governance
The Revolutionary War was all about establishing the independence of, and bestowing national sovereignty upon, the United States of America. The U.S. Constitution created a system of limited government that championed individual freedom, which produced the most prosperous and productive civilization the world has ever known. This unique position in the world is rapidly waning. The next presidential election will surely accelerate the rate of descent into global mediocrity.

Defining the Right of Self-Defense by Gun
First, the robber hit Willie Lee Hill more than fifty times with a can of soda, knocking him unconscious. Later, the 93-year-old victim awakened, covered with blood, to find his 24-year-old assailant ransacking the bedroom. When Hill pulled out a .38-caliber handgun from near his bed, the robber lunged at him. Hill stopped his attacker with a single bullet to the throat. “I got what I deserved,” the robber told police afterward.
The Seven Lean Years
Jan Burr raises the important point that governments should give attention, not only to current effects of global warming, but also to the near certainty of a severe cooling period within the coming decade.
Obama Supporters Can Say Anything
While the other two presidential candidates are lining up to apologize for anything and everything - that may be even remotely considered negative - said by their supporters against Sen. Barack Obama, Obama and his supporters seem to be able to get away with saying and doing just about anything they want. This includes the further demeaning of and cursing the United States of America. And these come from the pulpit of Obama’s church - Trinity United Church of Christ. And speaking of cursing, let’s take a look at Obama’s proclaimed “spiritual-mentor” for over 20 years - Pastor Jeremiah Wright.

Obama’s Achilles’ Heel
When Obama last exposed his Achilles’ heel, it happened inadvertently and without warning, amidst a fawning crowd of regulars upon whom a mighty spell had fallen.
Death by Democracy - Unwanted Freedom
Clearly, based upon the voting habits of the average American ever since FDR introduced Big Brother’s “New (Nanny State) Deal,” freedom is just too tough for the average American. That’s the only way to explain why Americans are voting themselves back into bondage in an effort to trade their freedom for free-stuff.
Definition of Torture Has Evidently Changed
One thing that’s certainly diverse is people’s definition of torture. The dictionary (Thorndike-Barnhart) defines it: “the act or fact of inflicting very severe pain.” If you knew a close relative would die unless the proper information was taken from a terrorist, what techniques would you consider acceptable to save your relative?
Destroying American Culture: Multiculturalism
Less than 30 years ago, most everything in America enjoyed the moniker “All American.” Sports heroes became “All Americans.” When you bought a product, it read, “Made in America.” Everyone spoke English and raised their hands to their hearts while saying, “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God with liberty and justice for all.”
McCain, Soros, and the New “Global Order”
It’s not the kind of endorsement that a Republican presidential candidate should welcome. But former Clinton State Department official and alleged Russian dupe Strobe Talbott says that Senator John McCain and Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are all “moderate pragmatists” in foreign policy “with the demonstrated ability to reach across party lines.”
When a Latte’s a Lot
Venti or Grande, a Tax is a Tax - When engineers need to know the precise strength of a structure, they test it by adding tiny amounts of weight to an actual example or a model. Eventually, the structure fails. That last gram of weight--the one that makes the difference between an intact structure and a pile of rubble--is pretty significant, at least to the structure.

Shocking Story of Gay Porn as Required Reading in High School
The story of an Illinois high school making a gay pornographic play required reading for seniors has been reported since March 7th(1), but it has been ignored for the most part with only a handful of news outlets having taken on this issue. The fact that a public high school that requires such reading doesn’t raise a fuss in the media shows how the media supports the gay agenda, of course.
Obama or Clinton? White Men Will Decide
As Barack Obama relishes his recent primary victories in Wyoming and Mississippi, let’s probe the dynamics of race and gender in this increasingly-bitter Democratic race.
The Southern Baptist March Towards Irrelevance
Some of life’s concepts are so defining that, by their very nature, they preclude any alternatives. An individual who is honest ninety-nine percent of the time is a “liar.” Someone who is almost always sober is properly deemed a “drunk.” No common ground exists between the absolutes of right and wrong. And any attempts at finding or establishing such domain will be in vain. Jesus elucidated this perfectly when He warned against the futility of attempting to serve “two masters.”

Pushing Your Buttons
In the interest of full disclosure, let me say right up front that this column has absolutely nothing to do with the plight of New York Governor Elliot Spitzer. Well… ... ... ... .maybe a bit… ... ...
Democrats on Prozac
Growing up in America in the seventies and eighties, I really had no concept of geography or international relations. My public and private school educations managed to avoid the whole concept of the world outside of the United States, with the exception of England and the Soviet Union. I was aware that France and Canada existed, to be fair, and I had heard of Mexico. However, I was taught about other things, like the coming Ice Age, recycling, and how overpopulation would have so outstripped the food supply by the year 2000 that most people would be retarded due to malnutrition. Somehow, the teachers managed to sneak basic arithmetic and a reading list into the curriculum mandated by the government and assisted by the teacher’s union, so I grew up a functional citizen. My extracurricular interests included reading, girls and cars. I continued through college, marriage, running a business, fatherhood, divorce and remarriage, blissfully ignorant of the larger context of things.
School-Sponsored Smut
A new genre has been added to the list of promoted high school literature: racist gay porn. Deerfield High School of Deerfield, Illinois decided to integrate the Pulitzer Award-winning play, Angels in America: a Gay Fantasia On National Themes into its curriculum. The play features pervasive swearing, graphic sexual content, bigoted remarks, and involves sexual experiences profaning both angels and the Mother Theresa. If high schools are sensitive about assigning Mark Twain’s great classic, Huckleberry Finn, due to its pejorative language, then why is Deerfield High promoting Angels in America?
Calling a Spade a Spade
The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light… 2 Corinthians 4, Verse 4
America’s Bakers March on Washington
On March 12, the American Baking Association, representing 85% of the total baking industry, will lead a “Band of Bakers March on Washington.” Representatives from more than 50% of the nation’s largest baking companies will call on Congress to correct the policies it has created over the years that have led to soaring food and oil prices.
The History of U.S. Taxation
Few Americans understand how America is being taxed and spent into bankruptcy in the name of a “greater common good.” They kind of sense that we are, but have never studied how, why or how long it has been going on, much less what to do about it. Below I have included the official FACT history of American taxation as posted by the U.S. Treasury Department on their education web site.

Sinisterism and Radical Islam
What, historically, do Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists and Fascists have in common? Evil, of course, is one answer. But there is more to it than that. These evil systems have common elements: (1) rejection of the ethical monotheism of Jews and Christians; (2) embrace of brutal totalitarianism; (3) the sort of cannibalism that was the show trials of Stalin or Hitler’s Night of the Long Knives; (4) dishonesty celebrated as virtue; (5) profession of some variation of socialism.
THERE’S NOTHING ‘EASY’ ABOUT ‘E-ZPass’ TOLLS!
For some unexplainable reason I do not get along with today’s electronic technology.
Facts We Are Supposed To Ignore About Barack Obama
Obama’s fan club in the mainstream news media has abandoned all basic tenets of journalism, in favor of protecting a candidate whose own supporters cannot name any of his accomplishments. Despite his lack of experience and many troubling issues surrounding Obama, our liberal press has joined his campaign and now hope that we will be so taken with his rock star status that we too will ignore the facts.
Further Proof NPR Caters to Extreme Left
Jennifer Harper, Washington Times reporter, gives us a revealing look(1) at how far left our taxpayer funded National Public Radio network has gotten itself these days. Even when they try to go a little toward the conservative side of the debate, they get lambasted by their audience, angered that they had the temerity to air conservative views. Of course, the only reason they would get such a rude reception from their own audience is because they have garnered only a far left listenership as a result of their far left programming. After all, if they had a balanced listenership they wouldn’t get deluged by angry emails when they aired conservative content.
Obamelot? Not!
In all the ecstatic love-fest frenzy the left is having with Barak Obama, they have recently been invoking the mystique of “Camelot” - that storied infatuation with JFK and Jackie - and drawing a parallel.
Age and the Presidency - Perspectives, Older, Younger
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL two weeks ago, in the context of discussing the age of Senator John Sidney McCain, III, who will turn 72 in August, noted the ages of highly significant - and generally acclaimed as truly great - leaders beginning with World War II. WALL STREET JOURNAL columnist Bryan Cole or an editor cleverly characterizes the McCain age as “By historical standards [that of] a mere broth of a lad.”
Blood, Guts and Al GorePage 39 of 40 pages « First < 37 38 39 40 >
As Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue to strut their stuff on the campaign trail, memories of 1968 Chicago are creeping into the nightmares of Democrats everywhere.
