American Thinker Blog: The Real Reason Why Rev Wright Dissed Obama
American Thinker Blog: The Real Reason Why Rev Wright Dissed Obama: "The democrats' approach to the energy crisis is far more typical. The US could be energy independent in ten years if we resumed building nuclear power plants and drilling for oil and gas in Alaska and the offshore waters of the continental shelf and constructed new refineries. Moreover the bold target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2050 could be easily attained if every coal fired power plant were replaced by nuclear. Why won't the democrats agree to it? Because it is a solution. Solutions are not the foundation for fund raising by democrats, environmental extremists or global warming activists."
Energy idiocy!
Strange Behavior
"Royal Dutch Shell (nyse: RDSA - news - people ) estimates that the waters of the outer continental shelf contain 100 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil. But 85% of the U.S. coastline is off limits to drilling by congressional decree. Why not be more like Cuba, which has leased oil exploration acreage 50 miles from Key West?
Then there are the 1.5 trillion barrels that Shell estimates are trapped in the oil shale deposits of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. On federal lands, Shell has been researching methods to cook oil out of the shale (basically oil-soaked rock) without mining it or polluting groundwater. But Congress passed a measure last December that prohibits spending to establish a program to lease oil shale on federal lands."

EXPELLED
live dangerously be a conservative: EXPELLED: "I Went to see Ben Stein’s movie “Expelled”, which opened yesterday. I didn’t know what to expect. I thought it would be a funny satirical type of thing. I was wrong. But let me set the stage. I chose a matinee (3:40 to be exact) at a multi theatre movie house. I wondered if I should call ahead to make sure I could get in. I didn’t. I pulled into the parking lot and decided I had made the right decision, there were very few cars there. They had 16 different shows on the venue. When I went and found the theatre with Expelled, I went in and not a soul was there nor did anyone come in later. It was great. A private showing for me."

Getting to Know John McCain
"For example, in 1991 Cindy McCain was visiting Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh when a dying infant was thrust into her hands. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life, so Mrs. McCain brought the child home to America with her. She was met at the airport by her husband, who asked what all this was about.
Mrs. McCain replied that the child desperately needed surgery and years of rehabilitation. 'I hope she can stay with us,' she told her husband. Mr. McCain agreed. Today that child is their teenage daughter Bridget."

"the killer statistic: Among high-school students who graduated in the bottom 40 percent of their classes, and whose first institutions were four-year colleges, two-thirds had not earned diplomas eight and a half years later. ......... Yet four-year colleges admit and take money from hundreds of thousands of such students each year!
Even worse, most of those college dropouts leave the campus having learned little of value, and with a mountain of debt and devastated self-esteem from their unsuccessful struggles. Perhaps worst of all, even those who do manage to graduate too rarely end up in careers that require a college education."

"The Truth About Tuskegee"
By Jared Taylor
The Tuskegee syphilis study ranks almost with slavery and lynching as a symbol of America's racist past. There is probably not one black American adult who does not know—or thinks he knows—about an experiment from the 1930s in which government health authorities deliberately withheld treatment from 400 black syphilitics just to see what would happen to them.

A Victory Against Voter Fraud - WSJ.com: "So we have the irony of two liberal icons in sharp disagreement over yesterday's Supreme Court decision. Justice Stevens, the real reformer, believes voter ID laws are justified to prevent fraud. Barack Obama, the faux reformer, hauls out discredited rhetoric that they disenfranchise voters."

Muskegon principal talks about recent school studies - mlive.com
Muskegon principal talks about recent school studies - mlive.com: "The best way to say it is that Johns Hopkins holds all schools in contention for that. In other words, they're looking at schools no matter whether you have 300 students and you come from an economically successful area, or whether you have, in our case, about 5,000 kids in the total district and it's considered an economically-distressed area. So they're weighing the entire group, the entire spectrum of schools. For a school that fits our profile, we're doing well. But we are not considering ourselves based against schools like ours; we need to compete with schools in general. So we're trying to compete with those proficient schools as much as anybody else."

Pacifist?
Instapundit.com -: "A collection of essays, including one on a particular breed of pacifist that Chesterton saw as new in the 20th Century: 'He does not so much believe in his own conscience as disbelieve in the common conscience which is the soul of any society. His hatred for patriotism is very much plainer than his love for peace.'"

Time to Compromise on Gun Control::By Mike S. Adams
Time to Compromise on Gun Control::By Mike S. Adams: "unfortunately, the political science professor let his feelings get the better of him, which led directly to my change of heart on gun control. He began hurling epithets like “stupid, ignorant, and crazy” to the nineteen year old Millage. He so badly disrupted the event that the College Republican President called me in my office asking that I come over to try and calm him down.
I gladly complied with her request – largely because I know that these events generate intelligent debate until the first professor shows up."
Another excellent column exposing the "free speech for me but not for thee" atmosphere that is the American University today.
Read to the end where Mr Adams makes a controversial proposal on gun control.

Supreme Court upholds photo ID law for voters in Indiana
Supreme Court upholds photo ID law for voters in Indiana
"The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights, validating Republican-inspired voter ID laws."
Imagine a party that opposed this logical method of preventing voter fraud.... The Democrat Party!
Yes, there are serious differences between the two political parties.
In a splintered 6-3 ruling, the court upheld Indiana's strict photo ID requirement, which Democrats and civil rights groups said would deter poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots. Its backers said it was needed to deter fraud.
The poor liberal writing this "painful" piece shows their bias with the "splintered" definition of a solid 6-3 vote.
Disgusting and just more proof of the MSM's slavish liberalism.
