THE PRESIDENCY

OBAMA AND OIL - Mr. President, you are a liar. There are 800 billion barrels of oil just in the Green Rover Formation, three times the total of Saudi Arabia. We note you use the word "proven" when you claim that the USA only has 2% of the world's oil reserves or just 22 billion barrels, but the word "proven" does not include federal lands and all the areas the government has forbidden drilling. Currently the USA produces 8.5 of the world's oil and 40% of the oil consumed in the USA is drilled right here in the USA. The nutty anti-people green agenda of the Democrat Party just will not allow more oil production in the USA.
ROMNEY THE DAY BEFORE ALABAMA - The day before he lost Alabama and Mississippi Mitt Romney said, "Sen. Santorum is at the desperate end of his campaign." Santorum won both states. Fearing a loss in Illinois as well Romney is shifting millions of dollars to buy radio and TV time there. The night of Santorum's win in the south Neal Cavuto on the Fox Business channel had seven Romney apologists in a row to explain how any Santorum victory was actually a Romney victory. It is just a little odd that both the left leaning and right leaning news outlets are pushing Mitt Romney as the GOP candidate.

CONGRESS 

CONGRESSMAN DEFENDS FOOD PANTRY - An Indiana food pantry was recently banned from distributing federal food items because its director routinely offered to pray with clients who had fallen on hard times. Clients received food regardless of their response to the prayer offers, but the organization that administers the federal food program said "The guidelines are no religious (activity) or teaching can be required for providing services." Rep. Todd Young, a Member of the Prayer Caucus, is looking into the situation and according to a spokesperson for his office, "It certainly appears there is a misinterpretation of some rules."

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

SURPRISE: NEW YORK TIMES BIAS AGAINST CHRISTIANS - The New York Times ran an ad by the Freedom from Religion Foundation telling liberal Catholics it was time for them to leave the church. An almost identical ad, with the same format, was sent to the New York Times addressed to "moderate" Muslims asking them to leave Islam. Of course, the Times refused to print that ad. This was such an incredible double standard that the New York Times refuses to even answer media questions about the ads. Read more.

MOROCCO: FORCED TO MARRY RAPIST - A 16-year-old Moroccan girl has committed suicide after a judge ordered her to marry her rapist, according to Moroccan media reports. Last year Amina al-Filali's parents filed charges against their daughter's rapist, a man 10 years older than her but it was only recently that a judge in the northern city of Tangier decided that instead of punishing him, the two must be married.

UK: YEAR IN JAIL FOR ISLAM INSULT - On March 6th, 2012 Darren Conway was sentenced to a year in prison for posting anti-Islamic materials in the window of his ground-floor apartment in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. As the BBC puts it, he was "convicted of a religiously aggravated public order offense for putting anti-Islamic literature in his window." This is Sharia law in action. Read more
UK: CHRISTIANS HAVE NO RIGHT TO WEAR CROSS Christians do not have a right to wear a cross or crucifix openly at work, the British government is to argue in a landmark court case. In a highly significant move, ministers will fight a case at the European Court of Human Rights in which two British women will seek to establish their right to display the cross. It is the first time that the government has been forced to state whether it backs the right of Christians to wear the symbol at work. Read more

PRESIDENT
THE SOVIET EXPERT IN A NON SOVIET ERA- Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice is a true expert on the Soviet Union. Unfortunately for President Bush and the rest of the nation, the Soviet Union has not existed for nearly two decades. Rice has no clue about Middle Eastern affairs and has no hint as to the core beliefs of Islam. As a result she is actually calling for a "peace" conference in Washington of Islamic nations including terrorist states. Rice actually believes that an Islamist who signs a treaty can be trusted. President Bush would better serve himself by getting someone at State who is current on world affairs and not someone whose mind is still in the bygone era of Soviet style politics.
FAMILY DAY - On September 20th President George W. Bush issued his annual proclamation for "Family Day." This is an interesting proclamation that promotes the family as the cornerstone of civilization. Click here to read.

THE HOUSE
A REAL CIRCUS - San Francisco radical Nancy Pelosi has turned the United States House of Representatives into a circus where virtually nothing gets done. The House has become a mere podium for extremist proclamations blaming conservatives for everything from global warming to Islamic terror attacks. It is virtually impossible to work on any worthwhile legislation that does good by the American people. Pelosi takes her marching orders from the MoveOn Party!
THE MOVEON PARTY - At least one congressman has received over $500,000 from MoveOn.org. Take a look at this list and you will begin to understand the influence MoveOn has. The MoveOn.org party bought the last election and now they run the show!

THE SENATE
PRO-LIFE DOD AMENDMENT - Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) has introduced a unique pro-life amendment to the the Department of Defense appropriations bill. The Innocent Life amendment would prohibit the execution, while she is pregnant, of a woman sentenced to death by the federal government or any state. Because of long trial periods and appeals the situation would probably never arise; however, the bill refers to the "child in utero" and presents a real dilemma to pro-abortion Democrats. Most Democrats see no problem with the killing of unborn babies, but are against the execution of murderers and terrorists. Click here to read amendment.
SENATE CONDEMNS "BETRAY US" AD - The Senate voted to condemn the "Betray Us" advertisement placed in the New York Times by extremist political organization Moveon.org, which is financed by drug legalization activist billionaire George Soros. Although the Senate resolution did not mention Moveon.org by name, the intention was clear. Hillary Clinton, who has received many millions of dollars from Moveon.org, voted against the resolution. Other Democrat presidential hopefuls didn't show up to vote. The vote results made it clear that there are now three major parties in the United States: the Republican Party, the Democratic Party and the Moveon.org Party. Many Democrat leaders are in shock that Moveon.org executive director Eli Pariser now controls about half of the Democrat Senators. Click here to see how your Senator voted!
ULTRASOUND REQUIREMENT FOR ABORTION - U.S. Senator Sam Brownback introduced the Ultrasound Informed Consent Act this week. The legislation would require a doctor to perform an ultrasound and then share the results with each pregnant woman patient and allow her to view the images before he could perform an abortion.

RELIGION AND CULTURE
NEW YORK TIMES ADMITS TO BIAS - The Public Editor of the The New York Times admitted that the "Betray Us" advertisement attacking Gen. David Petraeus was sold to MoveOn.org at a discount rate it was not entitled to receive The editor further said that the Times violated its own advertising policies by published the ad.
