REWRITING THE BIBLE???
In 2006, Andy Schlafly, best known as the son of notorious anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly, launched a wiki site called Conservapedia as an alternative to Wikipedia. The nation’s sixth most frequently visited Web site had, he felt, become dominated by liberal and anti-Christian bias.
Now Schlafly has a new project: rewriting the Bible to free it from liberal bias. The new translation will be free of “emasculated” and “dumbed-down” language as well as “liberal…

WASHINGTON - The revelation by the New York Times on Wednesday that Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, has long been on the payroll of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), is only the tip of a much bigger iceberg of heavy dependence by US and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) counter-insurgency forces on Afghan…

...I was just listening to another H1N1 video a la mass quarantines and they were talking about targeting the highest "at risk" group for the flu vaccination.... Then it occurred to me that it was rather odd that the flu virus would be most effective against young(er) people...the group that is the MOST healthy-- "in their prime" as it were....
So I'm following along with this video and then it occurred to me that the 19-24 age group-- the one targeted-- also just

Language is an amazing thing, giving us the ability to communicate with various words to describe what we mean. And with so many words to use one would believe we would never be short on words to fill up our sentences, yet this is not so. People are becoming lazy and stupid shortening words or never really branching out on what they say and instead filling the gaps in their silly conversations with swear words…

It was only a matter of time before the nation’s skyrocketing unemployment translated into new recruits for the most powerful military force in the world.
With the official US unemployment rate at 10 percent and climbing (that’s more than 15 million people struggling to put food on the table) and nearly double that number if you include part-time wage-earners who need full-time jobs, never mind all of those ‘discouraged workers,’ it’s little wonder that so many of the nation’s…

How the Swine Flu Vaccine Will Become Mandatory and Why Most Citizens Will Take It
Below is a hypothesized timeline on how the H1N1 vaccine could become mandatory. If the following events occur, perhaps it will help you to understand how you could be manipulated into taking the vaccine if you are currently undecided or even if you are dead set against taking it.

What are we doing....today?
Buying a new shortwave set is really cool and a big win for everyone...but fortunately our wins needn't be anywhere near that large every day. The important thing is to keep doing a little bit each day for our cause.... In the interest of saving page space...a sentence or two at most please :)

Many colleges now require criminal background checks of all new employees. But the University of Akron -- in what some experts believe is a first -- is not only requiring a criminal background check, but is stating that new employees must be willing to submit a DNA sample.
The requirement was added quietly and is now receiving attention -- and criticism -- because an adjunct faculty member at Akron quit this week, citing the new rules. "It's not enough…

Any number of pundits claim that we have now passed the worst of the recession. Green shoots of recovery are supposedly popping up all around the country, and the economy is expected to resume growing soon at an annual rate of 3% to 4%. Many of these are the same people who insisted that the economy would continue growing last year, even while it was clear that we were already in the beginning stages of a recession.
A false recovery is under way. I am reminded of the outlook in 1930,…

UExpress" -- NEW YORK--Shortly after 9/11, George W. Bush secretly signed two executive orders. Both violated basic constitutional protections as well as U.S. obligations under international treaties, yet both carried the force of law.
They still do.
The first order grants the president (and other officials,…

American taxpayers paid a lot of cash for those clunkers: $24,000 for each new car sold, according to a study released Wednesday.
That’s a lot of money, especially when the so-called “cash for clunker” stimulus program offered only a maximum $4,500 in cash for each person who traded in an old gas-guzzler and bought a new car.
The government could have done almost as well by just giving…

Excuse Me, I Mean LIBERALS
Fuzzy, socialist-liberals — What useful idiots you are for the Obama's of this world. You always accuse free-market advocates like me of being "mean," or not having any Christian ideals. Well, let's see. What would a good Christian want for his fellow man? — for people to live happy, productive lives, to not be…
