Thank God for answering our prayers.... WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Friday rejected a challenge brought by atheist Michael Newdow to stop the invocation prayer at President Bush's second inauguration. On Thursday, Newdow told U.S. District Judge John Bates that having a minister invoke God in the Jan. 20 ceremony would violate the Constitution by forcing him to accept unwanted religious beliefs. But one day later, Bates ru...
Wish I could have been a fly on the wall at this awards dinner. Way to go, Mr. Eastwood. Make our day! Eastwood stunned a New York filmmaking audience with his comments, the New York Daily News' Lloyd Grove reported today in his must-read column. "Michael Moore and I actually have a lot in common - we both appreciate living in a country where there's free expression," Eastwood was quoted as telling the National Board of Review awards dinner in New York Tuesday night.

The ACLU is launching another attack against President Bush. Most everyone has heard about the ACLU's acquisition of "proof" that the president issued a directive authorizing the "torture" of terrorist suspects detained at Guantanamo Bay. What is their proof? They claim to have emails from FBI agents. These emails refer to a new Bush order on prisoner treatment that supposedly permits interrogation tactics beyond normal procedure. Where is this supposed directive? The ACLU has no copy of a...
Liberals bemoan his faith. They fear his indoctrination. He threatens their beliefs and spews intolerance... Or does he? A news magazine editor recently visited the White House for an after-hours Christmas tour. He wrote this about what he saw: "...enjoyed this year's seasonal music and the sea of cottony decorations and all the white and gold lights,...there was hardly any reference to the birthday boy Himself." "There was one small Christian symbol amid the secular extravaganza, an...
It appears the ACLU is launching a protest against Bush on inauguration day. In fact, they even imply that President Bush is deliberately seeking to take away our freedoms. Here is a recent campaign they are running on their website: Help Us Get 100,000 People to Take the Pledge by Inauguration Day -- January 20th Today our most fundamental freedoms are in jeopardy. Only a bold, spirited movement of people like you who refuse to surrender your freedom...

Other recipients of the German accolade include: Bill Clinton UN Secretary General Kofi Anon German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder Nelson Mandela Yassir Arafat Nice company you keep, Hillary.
Environmentalists love to talk about the Bush administration's assault on the environment. They claim Bush has the worst environmental policies than any president in US history. He is cited as the equivilent of a terrorist on our air and Mother Earth. A recent report by the EPA may actually refute these accusations. The report finds that particle pollution has dropped 10% under Bush's watch. "LOS ANGELES A new Environmental Protection Agency report says concentrations of dang...
Some Americans lament to immigrants, "Assimilate or go home." Well according to a recent study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association , immigrants are definitely assimilating, just not like you might think. "Only 8 percent of immigrants who had lived in the United States for less than a year were obese, but that jumped to 19 percent among those who had been here for at least 15 years. That compared with 22 percent of U.S.-born residents surveyed." Apparently, i...
Bernard Kerik who was President Bush's choice for Homeland Security Secretary has withdrawn his name for consideration. He cited "personal reasons." I am sorry to hear this news.
Check out this website Draft Al Gore to run for President in 2008. This would be a Republican dream come true. Where do I sign up to make donations? Al Gore has completely lost all semblance of sanity since the 2000 election. Some Democrats are living in a serious fantasy land.
*A special thanks to Little_whip's article How the left stole Christmas for the inspiration for this blog* Our culture is rife with double messages. We promote individuality, diversity, and "bucking the system". Rebels are held in the highest esteem as artists, philosophers, and leaders. Yet, we have to be careful not to offend those that are diverse, individuals, and outside of the mainstream. We adjust the "system" and culture to cater to the feelings of those diverse peoples as...
After reading another blog about a proposed amendment requiring the teaching of the constitution in schools, I could not help but recall a recent news story. How would Senator Byrd, being a Democrat, address this school decision? If Byrd's amendment passed, would we then have to declare what parts of the constitution and American history could be taught? Would we have to censor our own history? Declaration of Independence Banned at Calif School Wed Nov 24, 2004 04:12 PM ET By Dan...
So, yesterday, I was perusing the latest edition of Time magazine. For some reason, I always start at the last page and go backwards...call me crazy. The last article in Time magazine is always an op-ed piece that usually irriates me but rarely surprises me. While reading last week's aggravating piece entitled "The Battle is Over, but the War Goes On" by Michelle Cottie, I came across this paragraph: "Democrats found this election discombobulating because no matter how often they hear a...
