Why London Is Burning (Hint: It’s Not Just Thugs) Are we now at a point in time that people in America will take to the streets rioting, robbing, murdering, if the government does not hand money out to them? Will we soon see what happens in London, happening in America? As it did several years back in LA when the Rodney King riots took place in 92, but much worse? I am shocked at the free living that is handed out to certain people that never work, especially those having baby after baby getting government checks, along with food assistance, & free health care, free house or apartments that generally they do not take care of, but destroy.

http://washingtonsblog.com/ Those that have been looking to the people in the hallowed halls of congress or any of the other very expensive buildings in DC for help with this countries problems have obviously been looking in the wrong place. The politicians have been messing us around for along time. Why do we waste so much time argueing over whether it is better to vote for the republicans or democrats? It should be obvious by now, after all these years of their chicanery, that there is no difference between them. Shouldn't we be looking elsewhere for help? Ps 121:1-2 "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from th…

The hybrids have been produced secretively over the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range of diseases. The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists warned of a nightmare ‘Planet of the Apes’ scenario in which work on human-animal creations goes too far. Undercover: Scientists have been growing human animal hybrids in secret for the las…

Perry defends gay marriage as states’ choice; Santorum takes a swipe I've got a question about this. With NY having passed the law that men can marry men, women can marry women, if such couples gets married in NY them decide they want to move to Texas, will Texas be force to recognize this marriage giving them all rights that NY does even though they have no law legalizing such marriages?

John Boehner walks out of White House debt-ceiling talks. What now? I'm not surprised, I would think talking to the White House would be much like talking to a brick wall.

The major news topic over for the last month or so, and almost the only topic for the last fortnight, here has been the Phone Hacking Scandal. In the beginning it was mainly celebreties, so no-one took much notice. Then there was public horror when it was learnt that a murdered teenager had her phone mailbox hacked and messages deleted so /the reporter could read new messages from her friends, thus making her parents believe that she was still alive. Then it was families of the victims of the 7/7 terrorist bomb outrage in London. Then families of killed Afghanistan heroes. As Murdoch was attempting to try to buy the SKY television setup, he closed the paper responsib…

Boehner and Obama really worked out a great deal. Their deal both made historic concessions from both parties. Their deal would have cut $4 trilloin from the budget over the next 10 years. I believe they both had a great deal that would have greatly benefitted the U.S. Sadly, the extremists in both parties would not go along with this deal. The Tea Party would not go along with closing some tax loopholes (trying to frame it as a tax hike), and Pelosi and that wing of the Democrats would not go along to cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Obama and Boehner did what politicians should be doing. Meeting together daily, talking, negotiating and compromising. T…

'Sister Wives' stars challenge Utah bigamy law By JENNIFER DOBNER - Associated Press Writer | AP – 11 hrs ago... SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The polygamous family featured on cable television's "Sister Wives" has filed a federal challenge to the Utah bigamy law that makes their lifestyle illegal.

Is the Feres Doctrine Fair? "Witt traveled to Travis Air Force Base in October 2003 to get base housing ready for his wife, daughter and newborn son who were still in Utah. They believed nothing had gone wrong during his emergency appendectomy at the base’s David Grant Medical Center. But the night of the surgery, they received a late call from an Air Force secretary in Texas, Lopez said. “It was some secretary who was told to get the paperwork going to medically retire Dean,” he said. “She said, ‘I don’t know if you were told but he [Witt] is not expected to live through the night.’?” The family said that call led to months of wrestling with the military to get t…

SARAH PALIN, LEADER OF THE PACK By Lloyd Marcus May 24, 2011 NewsWithViews.com So, who do I like as our republican presidential candidate in 2012? Parodying the song recorded by The Shangri-Las: “The liberal media is always putting her down (down,down). They said, she came from the wrong said of town. They told us she was bad. Then I knew she was the best we had. That's when I fell for the leader of the pack.” Who am I singing about? Obviously, the one and only Sarah Palin. Folks, it is a bit too early to go “all in” on any presidential candidate. I really like Herman Cain. But when I think of the one person who appears to be uncontrolled by liberal media attack…
