Another odious Massachusetts judge bars parents from their own son's schooling; sides with the Cohasset Public School System, who wants to expands their (special needs) son's education to include homosexual indoctrination (World Net Daily) - It's amazing the lengths these Marxist ideologues that are embedded in our governmental institutions will go to abuse and tear apart families. And then they call us 'paranoid' and 'conspiracy nuts' when we expose their crimes against humanity, while the majority of the American people are too apathetic to take notice. Lord have mercy on this sick country ... especially this rotten, socialist state!

2007: The year the First Amendment died (by Michael Goodspeed) - Hypocrisy abounds! Why do honorable and decent men like Don Imus and Dog the Bounty Hunter have their lives and careers ruined for saying the wrong word, but a pedophile like Roman Polanski is honored and revered? [Excerpt] Yep, Americans are a forgiving bunch. Racial violence and sex with adolescents might seem "bad" from a certain, morally relativistic perspective, but hey, we all make mistakes, and even the worst of the worst deserves a second chance. But there is one transgression that is considered truly unforgivable in 21st century America, one "crime" for which no apology or act of contrition could ever suffice. It's not theft or rape or child molestation or even murder. It is the "crime" of saying words or expressing thoughts that the mainstream, institutionalized, PC-dominated culture considers "offensive."

Huckster haunted by Arkansas ghosts; Howie Carr exposes phony conservative Mike Huckabee (Boston Herald) - Even Bill Clinton, while serving as governor of Arkansas, didn't dare pardon or commute the sentence of a certain convicted murderer; in fact, he had three chances to do so, and did not. However, Republican Mike Huckabee did. Howie Carr, who regularly exposes government corruption here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, really did his homework concerning this shyster from Hope, Arkansas. What, exactly, is in the water down there, anyway?

Huckabee squashed charges against his son for stoning, hanging, and slitting the throat of a defenseless stray dog (Crooks and Liars) - As if that weren't enough, it seems Huckabee, that good Christian soldier, is also in favor of animal abuse.

A call from Gaza: Break the Siege! (uruknet) - What would Jesus have to say? Here is a first-hand account from the largest prison camp on earth, a tale the powers-that-be don't want you to know about. What the Israelis are doing to the Palestinian people is infinitely worse than what was done to their own people over six decades ago by the Nazis. Quite literally, genocide is being practiced on a scale never before witnessed. Read this article, and imagine yourselves being forced to survive in such inhumane conditions. And then ask yourself why America is giving aid and comfort to this barbarous nation of Israel. If you have any decency or compassion at all, you will come to the conclusion that modern-day Israel is easily among the most evil, vile civilizations to exist in world history.
