Right-Wing Takeover of GOP Solidified By Scozzafava's Withdrawal From N.Y. Race

Republican Candidate Pulls Out a Day After Right-Wing Group Pulls Dirty Trick With TV Ad Disguised as Liberal Group Praising Her Support for Abortion Rights and Same-Gender Marriage; With Less Than 24 Hours to Go Before Voters in Upstate New York's 23rd Congressional District Go to the Polls, Can Democrat Bill Owens Prevent the Right's Takeover Of a District That Obama Carried a Year Ago?

The Global Carbon Footprint Scam

By Alan Caruba I never cease to marvel at the environmental alarmists who create one “crisis” after another using wretchedly bad “science” to support their scams. On Tuesday, November 24, the Global Footprint Network is going to “release new data on the Ecological Footprint of 100 nations and humanity as a whole, and the current ledgers are sobering.” Well, of course, they’re sobering. Everything the Greens announce is sobering because, as you well know, the oceans are rising, the glaciers... Read Full Story

Democrat Lies and Healthcare Reform

By Alan Caruba Whatever healthcare legislation is passed will be (a) a pack of lies and (b) end up costing well beyond the estimates that range from hundreds of billions to beyond a trillion dollars. One way or the other, the DEMOCRATS led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will find a way to pass something, anything, called healthcare reform. It simply does not matter that most voters have concluded it is yet another liberal-inspired, utopian disaster. And the only good news is that they might... Read Full Story

Keith Olbermann's Play-by-Play of FOX's Limbaugh Interview

I gave my own recap of the Rush Limbaugh puff-piece interview by Chris Wallace on FOX "News" Sunday. But I don't have nearly the platform, nor the panache of Countdown with Keith Olbermann , who did a fine job of pointing out the fawning, slobbery job done by Wallace. And when I say "job," I think you know what I mean. . . http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url;=example.com&title;=TITLE&bodytext;=DESCRIPTION&topic;=TOPIC Read Full Story

“So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family… by Arnie Sherr

“So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family… By Arnie Sherr “ The Resume Store ”   Don’t go it alone!   Haniel Long said:   “So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. All other pacts of love or fear derive from it and are modeled upon it.”   Deadly profound are these words; the words of Haniel Clark Long (1988 – 1956), an American poet... Read Full Story

Forty Days and Forty Nights - Is G-d trying to tell us something? by Arnie Sherr

Forty Days and Forty Nights, Is G-d trying to tell us something? by Arnie Sherr How many remember the story of Noah’s Ark: G-d’s remedy for sin and social breakdown, so sayeth the Lord. The biblical account, Book of Genesis 6-9, tells how G-d sends a great flood to destroy the earth because of man's wickedness and because the earth is corrupt. G-d tells Noah, a righteous man in his generation, to build a large vessel to save his family and a representation of the world's animals. G-d... Read Full Story

Job Summits Do Not Create Jobs

By Alan Caruba It has taken less than a year for most Americans to conclude that the Obama White House is all about appearances. The “Job Summit” is a classic example. Just how does one hold such a conference without inviting representatives of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to participate? Most administrations worry about their credibility, whether most of the public believes what they are saying, but this one doesn’t really care. The result is an endless succession of staged events in which... Read Full Story

Does Michael Steele Have The Right Stuff?

I have to confess I’ve been conflicted over whether Michael Steele was a true Conservative, or just another product of the go-along get-along Republican National Party we’ve so come to despise. I’ve swung both ways on Mr Steele. Early on he made what I considered to be some major blunders, in particular when dealing with the phenomenon known as the ‘Tea Parties’ and us homespun and rough shod Conservatives out here in the hinterland. What he failed to recognize, which at that time... Read Full Story

Obama: The Audacity Of Hopelessness...

With Obama's massive troop escalation (can the Nobel Peace Prize be rescinded?) he's made Afghanistan his war, reminiscent of President Johnson's Vietnam War escalation. At the current death rate of 500 soldiers per year the events depicted in the film will soon become a shattering reality for many more Americans. And next year Obama will spend some $65 billion on Afghanistan, more than for the Iraq war. Afghanistan, the "Graveyard of Empires, " is this administration's most egregious... Read Full Story
