Just doin' his part
Terrorists praise Jimmy Carter "If he comes and meets Hamas, this will also enhance the image and understanding between America and the Muslim world," said Yousuf, speaking by phone from Gaza. "Carter's visit is a good step and a positive step in the right direction. It would engage with the world community. To what degree he succeeds depends on the people in Europe and the U.S."
Yousuf blasted the Bush administration for "trying to block every attempt to lift sanctions against Hamas."
Clueless (&Evil)Jimmy Carter

Beating the Oil War Drums Wars for oil or resource seizure require meticulous political planning. These plans typically include contrived emotionally-charged incidents for the purpose of gaining acceptance for organized mass slaughter from the propagandized populaces. One such incident was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir-apparent of Austria and his wife, Duchess Sophie, who were killed in Sarajevo (capital of Bosnia) on June 28, 1914 by Gavrilo Princip,a 19 year old Serbian, one of the six designated assassins, who belonged to the secret Black Hand Society.
At 60 years - invincible?
The Israel that must defend itself The neoconservative commentator, Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post, recently proposed what he described as a "Holocaust Doctrine," in which an Iranian nuclear attack on Israel would be regarded as an attack on the United States. This is a bizarre and profoundly anti-conservative idea, as it should be readily apparent to every American and Israeli alike that Israel is not the 51st state of the Union. While it is to be regretted that anyone should wish to attack Israel, with nuclear weapons or anything else, this doesn't change the fact that Israel is not America and never will be. The doctrine is also pure propaganda. What does a non-martial mass murder by National Socialists have to do with a potential military attack by Iran?

Deciphering spin, with spin of our own When Reuters called terrorists “militants” and O’Reilly, in so many words, called homosexuality a preference, they were both saying (and perhaps sincerely thinking) what the most strident elements of their audience wanted to hear, not what the Truth demanded they tell. I am never fair and balanced, certainly not in the modern way of thinking. My problem with the approach is that it breeds something akin to the following reportage: “God says Devil is evil; Devil says God is evil. We report, you decide.”

Ana Puente, 21, is waiting for her fourth liver transplant.
Puente is an illegal alien.
Illegal alien awaits 4th liver transplant Ana Puente was an infant with a liver disorder when her aunt brought her illegally to the U.S. to seek medical care. She underwent two liver transplants at UCLA Medical Center as a child in 1989 and a third in 1998, each paid for by the state. But when Puente turned 21 last June, she aged out of her state-funded health insurance and was unable to continue treatment at UCLA.
Vermont woman drowns child, self Waring, 40, was reported missing early Saturday after she disappeared from her parents' Wardsboro house with the two girls, the state police said. As troopers began preparing a search party, State Police Sgt. Robert McCarthy spotted Waring and a child standing on the edge of Wardsboro Brook, about 100 yards from the parents' home, Covell said. She was standing near a rock in turbulent, waist-deep water when McCarthy reached for her, but she pushed away from the rock and eluded his grasp, plunging into the brook with daughter Dakota in her arms before being swept away, Covell said.
Michael Byrne’s request to be freed from his unlucky cab number of 666. Byrne received Evil Cab number 666 last August and several people close to Byrne have died since.
New license plate contains Cross ''That's that the option of every driver who owns a vehicle,'' Fasano said. ``They can decide if they want to have a license plate with a cross in front of a stained-glass window. It's not different from choosing a Choose Life license plate or a manatee license pate or a Florida State University or University of Florida license plate.'' Howard Simon, executive director of the ACLU of Florida, said the possibility of a state-sanctioned tag with a cross should prompt to Florida lawmakers to rethink the whole ''crazy'' system of license plates.
Brothers in racism?
The gospel according to Obama Not content to stop there, he throws in accusations of bigotry against "different" people – as though Pennsylvanians are all white and hate anyone "different" – whatever that means. Oh yes, then came anti-immigrant bigotry. He didn't miss that. He ignored the ethnic heritage of millions in "… small towns in Pennsylvania" and those "… small towns in the Midwest …" to say nothing about people nationwide. The melting pot and all that. Then he threw in "… anti-trade sentiment."
Divorce generation comes of age The change had begun in the '60s as the myth of the nuclear family exploded, and my generation was caught in the fallout. The women's rights movement had opened workplace doors to our mothers—more than half of all American women were employed in the late '70s, compared with just 38 percent in 1960—and that, in turn, made divorce a viable option for many wives who would have stayed in lousy marriages for economic reasons. Then in 1969, the year I entered kindergarten, Gov. Ronald Reagan signed California's "no fault" divorce law, allowing couples to unilaterally end a marriage by simply declaring "irreconcilable differences."
Self-mutilation, depicted here as licking beads, is but one symptom
Terminating teenage violent crime I remember when I was in high school in the 1950s – racial injustice and gangs were present even then. I could never have imagined the moral and civil anarchy among our youth today, as they garnish weapons and so vehemently assault peers and adults like the Baltimore teacher. Why is this happening? Because the youth know they can get away with it, or they just don't care! We are a society of permissiveness and apathy. The youth know a teacher has no real authority over them and no support from their administration. If a teacher tries to instill discipline in the classroom, it is disregarded by the students because they know the teacher cannot enforce it.
