In this day of mounting threats to our freedoms it is time to reinvigorate our Bill of Rights and so Senator John Kyl (R, AZ) has introduced S. 3493, The Free Press Act. This bill aims to prevent nuisance lawsuits meant only to quash freedom of speech, to stop the intimidation of journalists, bloggers, and those testifying before government.

Most "journalists" like to pretend they are separate from mere politics, but apparently MSNBC's uni-named Touré doesn't. He seems to assume he isn't merely observing and reporting on President Obama, but is part of Obama’s team. We might assume this by his on-air Freudian slip delivered to us on Wednesday, August 22.

Apparently the most left-wing, government-supported media conglomerate in all of the British Empire, The British Broadcasting Corporation, has refused permission to place a statue of George Orwell at its new facilities in London. Why? Because George Orwell, famed as the author of novels Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, is "too left-wing" for the Beeb.

Although like most people, I don’t follow or care about professional cycling, I know who Lance Armstrong is. I’d have to know if I’ve heard about cycling because HE IS cycling. Unfortunately, despite all of his amazing accomplishments, he spent his entire career being dogged by claims of doping. There have been rumors and accusations, many of which were made by jealous Frenchmen who were upset that an American dominated their precious sport. Unbelievably, they’ve continued going after Armstrong even though he’s left competitive cycling. Now, he says he’s had enough.

"And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there." --Francis Scott Key, "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Well, is it still there? Is it? Or has it been lowered over Fort McHenry? Has Baltimore and other American cities surrendered to blight, to an irreversible downward spiral? Is American going to go cheering into decline, praising itself for its environmental purity, high-mileage autos, pristine multicultural manners?

Let's all hope the University of Colorado streak continues:
A University of Colorado analysis of state-by-state factors leading to the Electoral College selection of every U.S. president since 1980 forecasts that the 2012 winner will be Mitt Romney.
The key is the economy, say political science professors Kenneth Bickers of CU-Boulder and Michael Berry of CU Denver...

As soon as it became known that Paul Ryan was Romney’s pick for VP, the White House and its media lickspittles attempted to depict him as some sort of monster who wanted to take Granny’s health care away. Well, it looks like seniors aren’t quite as dumb as the President thinks they are.

In my previous post, I huffed and puffed about the fact that the top U.S. Commander in Afghanistan ruminated that, quite possibly, it was the NATO troops’ own fault that Afghan forces shot them, because NATO forces had been insensitive to the stress of Ramazan (the Afghan version of Ramadan). My hope is that General Allen was playing a deep game, one that involves some degree of self-deprecating tact on camera, and aggressive action behind the scenes. Otherwise…. Well, read my post. Of course, it’s worth remembering that leadership begins at the top — and the top isn’t General John

Major Republican donor (and boogeyman to the left-wing) Sheldon Adelson and his wife have each given $250,000 to a new independent super PAC called the Patriot Prosperity PAC created to help elect New Jersey Rabbi Shmuley Boteach to Congress. According to the Wall Street Journal:
“I treasure the Adelsons’ support. They are among the most generous and sophisticated political donors in the country,” said Mr. Boteach in a statement through his spokesman. The Adelsons previously have given directly to Mr. Boteach’s campaign. The $500,000 donation to the new super PAC “is a game-changer, and I suspect there will be many

Earlier this week the Obama campaign announced the formation of “Rabbis For Obama," featuring over 600 rabbis from across the country and across all Jewish denominations dedicated to four more years of big government and anti-Israel policies.
The campaign didn’t bother to check the list, or simply didn’t care who was on it ,because at least eight of the Rabbis on the list are members of the Rabbinical Council of The Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP)--an organization named by the Anti-Defamation League as one of the 10 most anti-Israel organizations in America (I am sure their mothers are proud).

With the selection of Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee for the office of President of the United States, a lot of attention has come to his church (and mine) – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I was asked if I would write a post that detailed the church’s welfare program. This post isn’t meant to recruit or convert people to my church. Rather, it’s to convince people that work requirements as a condition of receiving welfare or other benefits have positive results and benefit society.
When we conservatives hear the word welfare, we almost cringe. Not because

The American system of democracy is under threat. It’s under threat from an Obama campaign that seeks to polarize Americans along race and class lines. It’s under threat from a Democratic Party that seeks to pit those who pay taxes against those who don’t.

As gas prices climb back toward $4 a gallon, the Obama administration — facing a tough re-election campaign and rising Middle East tensions — is once again considering tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. For years, administrations have bought and stored oil for emergencies, in fear of a cutoff of imported oil, as happened during the Arab embargo of 1973-74.
