FINAL SOLUTION FOR THE JEWS, AGAIN? By Dr. Laurie Roth June 5, 2011 NewsWithViews.com Hiding behind the usual sea of ‘therapeutic’ and ‘empathic’ rights issues, the Palestinians and their hoard of ‘American Idol’ type fans sing the ‘victim song.’ The international judges, UN and Obama drool with wonder at the performance. Terrorist group, Hamas, now merged with Fatah, sing the song of shrinking borders for the Jews, clear back to 1967. This is supposed to march in, according to the ‘American Idol’ left, peace in our time with Israel. Israel just has to give away the Golan Heights, big chunks of their Holy City Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza strip. Last week w…

Finally he threw his hat in the ring...I'm finally interested in the Presidential races and finally have someone to vote for. The only problem is, PA is one of the last voters in the primaries, so I can only hope everybody else votes for him so that I have a chance to cast mine, too. Last time, McCain already had the nomination before it was our turn to vote. It totally stunk.

5. Congress’ Retirement Benefits: 5 Times the Private Sector A member of Congress receives retirement contributions of about 33 percent of pay each year — five times as much as a private sector worker in a large company. Writing for the Journal of the American Enterprise Institute, Andrew Biggs calculates that a retired member of Congress receives a pension equivalent to 22.4 percent of wages. In addition, federal employees receive a government match to their Thrift Savings Plan account of up to 5 percent of pay, plus retiree health coverage worth around 6 percent of wages. Altogether, then, members of Congress receive around 33.4 percent of pay in retirement bene…

THE PHONY RIGHTWING PART 1 of 2 By Kelleigh Nelson June 3, 2011 NewsWithViews.com Newt Gingrich A couple years ago one of my neighbors asked me to accompany her to a tea party meeting at the Maryville, TN library which is about 25 minutes from Knoxville. I said, "Sure, I'd love to go see what they're doing." There were several speakers and most of it was boring classroom beginner's education for those that were just waking up to the fact that we've lost our country. We paid our two dollars and sat in the back of the room. The third speaker's topic was "Where to go for information." When they showed pictures of websites of Newt Gingrich and Heritage Foundation an…

With Romney now official in the race, Fox News has a poll for folks to choose which of the officially running candidates you would vote for. Currently Ron Paul leads with about 32%, followed closely by Herman Cain at about 27%, with Romney trailing a distant third at about 15%. So far, about 15% say "none of the above"! http://foxnewsinsider.com/2011/06/02/poll-which-official-2012-gop-contender-would-get-your-vote/

I was wondering if anyone here knows if we can run a spreadsheet on here? List the the candidates and what they stand for or against. Have it documented with the ariticle and web site for the source. It would be great to know where they stand for the issues which interest IFBs and IBs. I don't even know if we could put one on here and have it designed to make sense. However, it would be nice if one of us with spreadsheet experience would volunteer to run and update it with the information board members find. The thread containing the spreadsheet would have to be free from our comments...avoid cluttering it up. It could help us to make an informed selection come votin…

The questionable legal case against John Edwards John Edwards denies federal charges I believe he will, with the way the money was given it would not be counted as campaign money, but a gift. Yes, he is sorry, he did his wife sorry, he tired to deceive his family and the American people, he is arrogant, yet he may not have broken the law.. We do have a legal system, yet it has many loop holes for those who figure them out. Many tries to find loopholes in the Bible for their sins, but be sure, in that case you may feel your getting way with it, but be sure, in the end your sin will find you out. Nu 32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned agains…

Ominous House Bill would effectively ban US Christian adoption agencies by Rebecca Millette Tue May 31, 2011 18:08 EST WASHINGTON, D.C., May 31, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A bill reintroduced into the U.S. House of Representatives this month proposes federal-level punishment for states that ban homosexual couples and non-married individuals from adopting children. Effectively, the bill would ban all Catholic and Christian adoption agencies or forbid them from acting on faith beliefs. Touted as the means for fixing a “flawed” system, the “Every Child Deserves a Family Act” would “prohibit discrimination in adoption or foster care placements” based on the “sexual …

At 5: Fragrances can be made from dangerous chemicals "What she found surprised her. She says, "All of them emitted chemicals that are classified as toxic or hazardous under federal laws. These chemicals are ones that can damage the brain, the lungs, the central nervous system and cause cancer. Some of these chemicals have no safe exposure level, that means even one molecule is not safe to inhale." And they're "not" just in traditional scented products. Steinemann says those labeled green, organic, and natural can be dangerous too. Steinman says, "I have not yet found a fragrance consumer product that did not emit these chemicals that were classified as toxic or haz…

Are the courts taking on too much authority these days? Just over in NJ the governor cut back spending on schools to save money and the courts overturned it. Even in our country, courts are ruling on laws that have been passed or not passed. Is this the way things were meant to be? I thought congress was its own set of checks and balances? Can courts just sue to stop all the laws? It seems strange because in general, this puts laws in the hands of one judge or maybe a very small jury....????
