Amen! From LES FEMMES: Open Letter to artist Michael D'Antuono: I recently saw a picture of your painting of Barack Obama titled The Truth depicting him in a crown of thorns with his arms outstretched like Christ crucified. I would like to humbly suggest that you have the wrong person in a crown of thorns. It should be the American people who have been misled and lied to about what Barack Obama truly represents. In the spirit of transparency, I suggest you develop several companion pieces to accompany it. CLICK HERE TO SEE "THE TRUTH" First, paint a group of unborn babies of varying ages wearing the crowns since Obama favors the expansion of their murder by abortion. Be sure to include a little one who survived abortion and was deliberately killed by neglect since Obama voted four times to deny their protection. Don't forget to include Kathleen Sibelius and abortionist George Tiller in the background screaming, "Crucify them!" along with groups from Planned...

by Jeanne Safer, PhD. From the political to the personal, Americans are caught in an orgy of forgiveness. Failure to pardon, we're constantly admonished, will blight our lives. Now a psychotherapist counters that popular claim. You can refuse to absolve your lover, spouse, parent, sibling or friend, she declares, and still be emotionally healthy. Flip to any television station these days and chances are we'll be witness to some dramatic episode of forgiveness. We see a mother and daughter estranged for years kiss and make up, a long-feuding couple holding hands and renewing vows, scandal-plagued politicians asking for absolution and granting it to their accusers. Tears flow, hugs proliferate, and the inevitable psychological experts solemnly intone that traditional psychotherapy has neglected this essential element of cure and that studies show that forgiving alleviates depression and enhances self-esteem. What's wrong with this picture? The capacity to forgive is an essent...

By Procrustes: Aaron Klein, Jerusalem bureau chief for World Net Daily, writes from Herzliya, Israel, that according to a top defense official speaking to WND, representatives from the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama informed Israel they would like to see the Jewish state’s offensive against Hamas scaled back before tomorrow’s inauguration. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, said he was not aware of any official demand from Obama or his team, but that members of Obama’s team made it clear to the Israeli government it would be better for them if Israel’s three-week offensive come to an end as Obama assumes office. A representative from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s office, who would not speak on the record on the matter, denied there was any contact between Olmert’s office and Obama regarding the Hamas offensive. “There is one president. His name is George Bush. We only deal with him. There was no c...

And McCain wants to be President? He didn't even check who he was 'getting into bed with'. 'Baseless attacks'? Makes ya' wonder, don't it? If you're reading this on an aggregator, CLICK HERE to see the video McCain Dumps Hagee Republican John McCain has rejected the endorsement of an influential Texas televangelist criticized for his anti-Catholic and homophobic views. John Hagee, the Texas preacher, withdrew his endorsement at the same time. McCain issued a statement after audio surfaced in which Hagee said God sent Adolf Hitler to help Jews reach the promised land. McCain said in a statement: "Obviously, I find these remarks and others deeply offensive and indefensible, and I repudiate them. I did not know of them before Reverend Hagee's endorsement, and I feel I must reject his endorsement as well." Hagee also issued a statement saying he was tired of baseless attacks and he was removing himself from any active role in the 2008 campaig...

PEANUTS SHO' DOES LOVE THEM TERRIERISTS, MAW! Rednecks really bother me. I can't deal with them. I have some in my extended family. I am polite and try to be friendly. But I guess growing up in a town and high school loaded with them - and literally shooting to New York City as fast as I was able once I was out of college - should speak volumes about my discomfort with rednecks. And Jimmy Carter - is a self-admitted redneck. On top of being completely wrong and delusional about Israel Alan Dershowitz, on the other hand, is a fantastic writer who always gets right to the heart of everything. Shining the spotlight yet again, on Dhimmi Carter - he talks about Carter's ongoing efforts to personify himself as a man of peace who is supportive of the Religion of Peace. Carter has quoted Martin Luther King, but Dr. King would tell him what he told a student at Harvard who criticized Zionism: "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You're talking anti-Semit...
