HOLIDAY BLUES - Target boycott urged for Thanksgiving weekendRetail giant punished for banning Salvation Army, 'Merry Christmas'

A traditional-values organization is urging consumers to stay away from Target stores on Thanksgiving weekend, a heavy shopping period, as it continues to lead a boycott of the retailer.
The American Family Association is asking supporters not to shop at Target due to its continuing ban on Salvation Army bell ringers outside its stores and its shunning of the phrase "Merry Christmas" in-store promotions and advertising.
The most recent boycott of Target began Oct. 7, and AFA says it's beginning to affect the retailer's bottom line.
"According to USA Today, Target told investors that projected sales at stores open a year in November would miss the estimated 4 percent to 6 percent growth," said Donald E. Wildmon, AFA chairman. "On Tuesday, Target's shares dropped $4.13 to $54.30, a 7 percent decrease."
As WorldNetDaily reported, a boycott of Target was organized last year in response to its banning of the Salvation Army's traditional red-kettle solicitors. Christian activists believe Target made the move to appease the homosexual community. The retailer is a contributor to homosexual causes, and the Salvation Army has traditionally opposed the "gay" agenda.

A Canadian Minority

MINORITY REPORT
Help wanted: Must not be white, male
Federal department officiale-mails ban on Caucasians

Able-bodied white men seeking a career in Canada's Department of Public Works had best wait awhile before submitting their resumes – the deputy minister of the federal agency has instructed managers to temporarily hire only visible minorities, women, aboriginals and the disabled.

David Marshal yesterday ordered that his edict banning hiring of Caucasian males be distributed throughout the agency by e-mail. The new policy, introduced in response to the department's failure to meet targeted employment-equity goals, will be in place for the next five months, at which time it will be reviewed.

Canada's federal benchmark for hiring visible minorities is one-in-five. Public Works' proportion of female, disabled, aboriginal and non-white new hires fell from one in eight in March to one in twenty in September of this year.
"As executives and managers, our role includes ensuring that the public service is representative," Marshall wrote in his memo. "This involves providing direction and leadership by example, and demonstrating a firm commitment to an inclusive workplace."

Robb Macpherson, a labor attorney with the firm McCarthy Tetrault, agrees Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms permits some discrimination to assist groups identified by the government as disadvantaged, but the form it usually takes is through programs that promote recruitment and hiring of qualified people from those groups – not by banning members of a non-minority class.

"They are in effect cutting off a significant portion of the workforce from these opportunities," Macpherson tells the National Post. "It sounds like a pretty extreme measure that they're contemplating."
Pierre Teotonio, a department spokesman, says the new policy is part of Public Works' involvement with the government's "Embracing Change" program and notes able-bodied white men can still be hired but only with written approval.

Nycole Turmel, president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, a federal public employee union that strongly endorses employment equity, is critical of its latest variation.

"I think it's creating a possible backlash against equity groups and then it's not helping these people to get into government," says Turmel. "It's even creating more frustration or anger from the workforce as well as from the population ... I am quite sure the people they hire will be competent and good employees, but that is not the point here. They will be seen as targets, and then people will question their hiring, and I don't think it will help them."
Public Works' Teotonio, responding to concerns, says, "This measure will be in force until March 31, 2006, at which time we will re-assess our progress."

FatCats of America .......... pathetic

Congress Boosts Pay, Postpones Other Work
By DAVID ESPOThe Associated PressFriday, November 18, 2005; 10:01 PM
WASHINGTON --
The Republican-controlled Congress helped itself to a $3,100 pay raise on Friday, then postponed work on bills to curb spending on social programs and cut taxes in favor of a two-week vacation.
In the final hours of a tumultuous week in the Capitol, Democrats erupted in fury when House GOP leaders maneuvered toward a politically-charged vote _ and swift rejection _ of one war critic's call for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. "You guys are pathetic, pathetic," Massachusetts Rep. Martin Meehan yelled across a noisy hall at Republicans.

Return of the Demons

The Real Evil of Evolutionary Humanism -->Written by Linda KimballFriday, November 11, 2005

In 1920, Winston Churchill spoke of a group of Enlightenment conspirators who had produced a system of morals and philosophy “as malevolent as Christianity was benevolent, which, if not arrested would shatter irretrievably all that Christianity has rendered possible.” He observed that this malignant worldview “has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century. This worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality has been steadily growing” (Zionism versus Bolshevism).

This malevolent system of warped morals and anti-human philosophy entered into the world during the Enlightenment, where it seems as if another Garden of Eden seduction occurred. It appears as though certain Enlightenment thinkers—Darwin, Marx, Hegel, Saint-Simon, and Rousseau among others, ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and each man received certain ideas which, when combined with the others, produced a malignancy-filled system of philosophy comparable to a grimoire of goetia (black magic) which, like Sauron’s One Ring, holds out for the bearer a seductive illusion of power, wealth, and glory. The key to the power, according to the grimoire, is through the reversal of human norms, natural law, and the social institutions so necessary for the continuance of mankind. In his book, The Everlasting Man, G. K. Chesterton described the reversal process as the ''theology of demons'' and said it is sadistically anti-human and anti-childhood. It is intrinsically evil.

In its guise as communism, it unleashed a sadistic anti-human holocaust of planetary dimensions. From Hitler’s ovens to the killing fields of Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedung, Pol Pot, Kim Il-Sung, Kim Jong-Il, and Fidel Castro, there runs interconnecting rivers of human blood. One hundred million lives were consumed in the demonic quest for the creation of a New Man.

Even as rivers of blood still flowed from the earthly Hells created by communists, communism itself began to shape-shift into something seemingly innocuous in order to slither into and infect Christendom and the very fortress of Christianity, the United States. It disguised itself as progressivism, liberalism, secular humanism, and then later as environmentalism, feminism, and a plethora of other social justice causes.

Soon, subversive stealth campaigns were launched. One was for the purpose of perverting our language and to insert the word ''social'' into every conceivable area. This was in order to plant the thought that ''social'' infuses everything with a positive content.

Another was for the purpose of instilling a sense of guilt within Americans. Americans found themselves being frequently reminded of both their individual failures and of the evil perpetrated by their culture and nation. A constantly expanding range of ''victims'' who had been ''unfairly'' treated and thus deserving of ''special'' treatment were paraded before Americans to ensure that the conscience of Americans remained troubled.

Civil rights and sexual liberation movements, which were social justice (communism) agendas in disguise, were launched. They served two purposes: they bulldozed our Rule of Law and individual rights in an effort to supplant them with ''group rights.'' This has worked as a kind of dynamite upon human norms and social institutions. These effort were also, not incidentally, insidiously disguised attacks against childhood and childhood innocence.

Marching in unison with the other campaigns was one whose purpose was the perversion of transcendent natural law and more specifically, the all-important ''first principle'' articulated in our Declaration of Independence: the inalienable right to life. By the use of what J. Budziszewski (What We Can’t Not Know) termed ''black magic spells of imposture and unraveling'' (a reversal process); shock troops of evil perverted the foundational principles of right and wrong. Because the new morals they created had an air of plausibility, Americans accepted them. Thus they’ve successfully supplanted the sanctity of life principle with an ever-expanding range of ''new morals'' such as the ''sanctity of choice'' (who wants a woman to die while giving birth?) and the ''sanctity of the environment'' (who doesn’t want clean air and water?)

Using the same process of reversal, they began to supplant human norms (traditional marriage, for instance) and man’s created condition (fixed gender as either male or female) with perverted ''new morals'' based in notions of sexual orientation, consent, choice, and privacy. These new morals, like the civil rights and sexual liberation movements, are also disguised attacks upon children and childhood innocence.

The infiltration and infestation was a success. The minds of Western Europeans and Americans had become sufficiently darkened and disordered. Mankind had been successfully conditioned to accept that his new place in the scheme of life was no longer transcendent to the creation as taught by Christianity, but below and in submission to it.

Mankind would henceforth be found guilty of existing, and through his existence, be found guilty of causing hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, global warming, and other natural phenomenon. The intrinsically evil worldview had finally stepped out of the shadows and revealed an appalling goggle-eyed face of neo-paganism.

The stage had been set for the next phase of their plan to redeem the world from the evil of humankind. The campaigns to debase humanity, to destroy social and human norms, and to eliminate the human plague organisms began apace.

Humans As Nonpersons and Plague Species

1. “Saying homo sapiens are a ‘plague species,’ the London Zoo opened a new exhibit featuring--eight humans. We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man as a plague species and to communicate the importance of man’s place in the planet’s ecosystem.” (Human Beings: Plague Species; WorldNet Daily, 2005)
2. “Human beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs.” (Earth First! Journal editor John Daily)
3. “To feed a starving child is to exacerbate the world population problem.” (Yale professor Lamont Cole)
4. “The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States.” (Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund)
5. “Until such time as homo sapiens decide to rejoin nature, (we) can only hope for the right virus to come along.” (David Graber, research biologist with the National Park Service)
6. “Nonpersons or potential persons cannot be wronged…because death does not deprive them of something they value.” (John Harris, Sir David Alliance professor of bioethics, University of Manchester, England)

On the Elimination of Human Weeds and Other Schemes

1. “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine, and the like would fill the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention…the real enemy…is humanity itself.” (The First Global Revolution, published by the Club of Rome)

Note: The Club of Rome bills itself as a global think tank. It’s comprised of scientists, economists, businessmen, international high civil servants, university presidents, members of parliament, heads of state, and former heads of state from all five continents. They describe themselves as people “who believe that the future of humankind is not determined once and for all.” This is code for evolutionary humanism.

2. “In Guyana, within 2 years, it (DDT) had almost eliminated malaria…my chief quarrel with DDT…is that it has greatly added to the population problem.” (Alexander King, former president of the Club of Rome)

Note: In the 60’s, a group of depopulation environmentalists conspired to have DDT banned from being used to control mosquitoes and malaria. The subsequent banning of DDT resulted in millions of deaths. One source estimated the death total as 500 million.

3. “I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing. There are others…If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate…without making the world too full…the state of affairs might be unpleasant but what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to suffering, especially that of others.” (Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society)

Note: Although they’ve not managed to spread a Black Death, they have managed to ignite a worldwide conflagration of STDS and AIDS. Keep in mind that it’s progressives, liberals and their international cohorts who have been preaching their gospel of ''salvation and redemption by sex'' (safe sex). What they don’t want you to know is that it’s the environment (Gaia) that they are trying to save from the human plague. Causing human weeds to become diseased, sterile, psychologically damaged, or to die is part of their scheme to redeem the world.

Ask yourselves why there has been no logical response to this plague. Why, for instance, has there been no call to quarantine the infected? And in the face of mounting death totals (468,000 dead from AIDs since 1981), why do they continue to teach your children to engage in the very behaviors which they know to be the cause of death? The CDC (2002) reports that 16,000 deaths from AIDs occur annually. Another 40,000 new cases of infection occur within the same time frame. There are 1 million cases of HIV, 31-50 million of herpes simplex, 24 million of HPV, and 1 million cases of chronic hepatitis B.

Now connect the dots between the Aids and STDs devastations and the 486,000,000 surgically and chemically induced abortions between 1965-1996 (www.rockforlife.org). It would appear that America is on a slippery-slope to committing demographic suicide.

How Many Should We Allow to Exist?


1. “The total world population should be no more than 2 billion rather than the current 5.6 billion.” (Cornell University professor David Pimentel, speaking before the American Assoc. for the Advancement of Science)
2. “The damage people cause is a function of demographics…One American burdens the earth much more than 20 Bangladeshes…In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day.” (Jacques Cousteau, the UNESCO Courier, Nov. 1991)
3. “Cut the population by 90%” (Dr. Sam Keen, Gorbachev Conference in San Francisco)

In speaking before the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on Sept. 15, 2003, Michael Crichton told his audience, “certain human social structures…can’t be eliminated from society. One of those…is religion. Today it is said we live in a secular society in which…the best people, the most enlightened…do not believe in any religion. But…you cannot eliminate religion from the psyche of mankind…suppress it in one form; it…re-emerges in another form. Today, one of the most powerful religions in the Western World is environmentalism.”

Environmentalism (worshipping the creation) in conjunction with social Darwinism (the scientism that validates this lethal brew) and Chesterton’s ''theology of the demons''—these are the elements that comprise the most intrinsically evil religion ever known to mankind. A religious worldview which Stephane Courtois (The Black Book of Communism) condemned as a criminal ideology that attracts narcissists, diabolical narcissists, and megalomaniac psychopaths such as Stalin. And unless we can arrest it, as Churchill declared, it will “shatter irretrievably all that Christianity has rendered possible.”

A clear thinking Liberal - Oxymoron

Carter condemns abortion culture

By Ralph Z. HallowTHE WASHINGTON TIMESNovember 4, 2005
Former President Jimmy Carter yesterday condemned all abortions and chastised his party for its intolerance of candidates and nominees who oppose abortion. "I never have felt that any abortion should be committed -- I think each abortion is the result of a series of errors," he told reporters over breakfast at the Ritz-CarltonHotel, while across town Senate Democrats deliberated whether to filibuster the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. because he may share President Bush and Mr. Carter's abhorrence of abortion. "These things impact other issues on which [Mr. Bush] and I basically agree," the Georgia Democrat said. "I've never been convinced, if you let me inject my Christianity into it, that Jesus Christ would approve abortion." Mr. Carter said his party's congressional leadership only hurts Democrats by making a rigid pro-abortion rights stand the criterion for assessing judicial nominees. "I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be extremely liberal on many issues," Mr. Carter said. "I think our party's leaders -- some of them -- are overemphasizing the abortion issue." While Mr. Carter has previously expressed ambivalence about abortion, his statements yesterday were "astonishing," said Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute at Concerned Women for America. "He has long professed to be an evangelical Christian and yet he had embraced virtually all the liberal political agenda," said Mr. Knight. "Maybe with Jimmy Carter saying things he never uttered before, more liberals will rethink their worship of abortion as the high holy sacrament of liberalism." Running for president in 1976 -- just three years after the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision -- Mr. Carter took a moderate stance. "I think abortion is wrong and that the government ought never do anything to encourage abortion," he said during that campaign. "But I do not favor a constitutional amendment which would prohibit all abortions, nor one that would give states [a] local option to ban abortions." In Washington to promote his latest book, "Our Enduring Values," Mr. Carter acknowledged he made mistakes in office. "I can't deny I'm a better ex-president than I was a president," said Mr. Carter, who in recent years has traveled the globe with his wife Rosalyn, "trying to help hold 61 elections" in developing countries. He has been outspoken in condemning Mr. Bush's policy toward Iraq. "I think all Christians -- and certainly all Baptists -- are different," Mr. Carter said yesterday. "I have a commitment to worship the Prince of Peace, not the Prince of Preemptive War." But he praised Mr. Bush's policy toward war-torn Sudan, and declared that the best treatment he has received since leaving the Oval Office was from the first President Bush, and the second-best treatment he got was during the Reagan administration, especially from Secretary of State George P. Shultz. The worst treatment he's received, the former president said, was from President Clinton. Mr. Carter said his party lost the 2004 presidential elections and lost House and Senate seats because Democratic leaders failed "to demonstrate a compatibility with the deeply religious people in this country. I think that absence hurt a lot." Democrats must "let the deeply religious people and the moderates on social issues like abortion feel that the Democratic party cares about them and understands them," he said, adding that many Democrats, like him, "have some concern about, say, late-term abortions, where you kill a baby as it's emerging from its mother's womb."

How deep the chicken shit?

Rumsfeld To Profit From Bird Flu Hoax

By Dr. Joseph Mercola
Finally, the pieces of the puzzle start to add up. Not long ago, President Bush sought to instill panic in this country by telling us a minimum of 200,000 people will die from the avian flu pandemic, but it could be as bad as 2 million deaths in this country alone.
This hoax is then used to justify the immediate purchase of 80 million doses of Tamiflu, a worthless drug that in no way shape or form treats the avian flu, but only decreases the amount of days one is sick and can actually contribute to the virus having more lethal mutations.
So the U.S. placed an order for 20 million doses of this worthless drug at a price of $100 per dose. That comes to a staggering $2 billion.
We are being told that Roche manufactures Tamiflu and, in a recent New York Times article, they were battling whether or not they would allow generic drug companies to help increase their production.
But if you dig further you will find that a drug was actually developed by a company called Gilead that 10 years ago gave Roche the exclusive rights to market and sell Tamiflu.
Ahh, The Plot Thickens...
If you read the link below from Gilead, you'll discover Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was made the chairman of Gilead in 1997.
Since Rumsfeld holds major portions of stock in Gilead, he will handsomely profit from the scare tactics of the government that is being used to justify the purchase of $2 billion of Tamiflu.
For more on the nonsense of the avian flu hoax, you'll want to review today's other post on the subject.
Finally Medical Journal Admits the Truth
This week's British Medical Journal has an editorial on the bird flu in which they state the following:
"The lack of sustained human-to-human transmission suggests that this AH5N1 avian virus does not currently have the capacity to cause a human pandemic"
While they do go on to say the virus could mutate with the influenza A virus and has the potential to acquire the means for rapid human to human transmission, it does NOT have this ability now. All the preparation and fear being created in the media is about a theoretical speculation.
Now I am a former Boy Scout and fully believe in being prepared, but this is nothing even close to following recommendations made by experts to New Orleans that if implemented would have saved 1000 lives and half a million homes and well over 100 billion dollars from Hurricane Katrina.
No this is all about creating fear and panic to benefit the drug companies. Now, I am still not opposed to being prepared for this potential bird flu pandemic. It is POSSIBLE it might materialize. But if it did there is no way that the flu vaccine or Tamiflu will mitigate its damage. No way.

Cold and useless feeders

Don't none a you pansies bad mouth big oil. All yer pissin and moanin about them useless feeders and their problems is really startin to piss me off!!!Bush, Senate at odds over oil profits

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The Bush administration is opposing U.S. Senate Republicans who want oil companies to divert some profits to low-income households for winter heat.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has called for oil and gas companies to devote a portion of their nearly $100 billion profits in the latest quarter to families who could see a 50-percent hike in heating bills this winter.
But Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said there was no way the administration would back the proposal, The Washington Times reported Thursday.
In letters to three oil and gas companies, Grassley asked them to contribute 10 percent of their profits to fuel funds operated by states and utility companies that supplement the federal heating assistance program.
"In light of record profits and rising energy costs, it seems only logical for the companies to practice good corporate citizenship by helping low-income families and seniors," Grassley wrote.

House Panel OKs School Lunch Funding Cut


By LIBBY QUAID, Associated Press Writer Fri Oct 28, 8:22 PM ET
WASHINGTON - The House Agriculture Committee approved budget cuts Friday that would take food stamps away from an estimated 300,000 people and could cut off school lunches and breakfasts for 40,000 children.

The action came as the government reported that the number of people who are hungry because they can't afford to buy enough food rose to 38.2 million in 2004, an increase of 7 million in five years. The number represents nearly 12 percent of U.S. households.
"If there are cuts to be made, why should we make them on food stamps?" said Rep. David Scott (news, bio, voting record), D-Ga. "This is the meanest cut of all."
The cuts, approved by the Republican-controlled committee on a party-line vote, are part of an effort by the House GOP to curb federal spending by $50 billion. The food and agriculture cuts would reduce spending by $3.7 billion, including $844 million on nutrition, $760 million on conservation and $212 million on payments to farmers.
"The fact is, our country is going broke," said Rep. John Boehner (news, bio, voting record), R-Ohio. "We're spending money we don't have and passing it onto our kids, and at some point, somebody's got to say, `Enough's enough.'"

The $574 million reduction in food stamp spending would affect families who receive food stamps because they receive other non-cash government assistance. The change is estimated to shut up to 300,000 people out of the program.
The restriction also could take free meals away from an estimated 40,000 school children, because children in many states are automatically eligible for school meals when they get food stamps, according to the
Congressional Budget Office.

SOMETIMES I AM ASHAMED TO CALL MYSELF A CONSEVATIVE. It's a damn good thing those poor congressmen did not cut their salaries or even pork spending.

I'm proud to be an oilman

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration, facing mounting pressure from the U.S. Congress to address record energy costs, has ruled out a tax on soaring oil company profits.Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said yesterday that he opposes any proposal for a windfall profits tax.

He was responding to a question at a Senate hearing about a Deutsche Bank analyst report that the White House might offer a plan to tax oil companies to fund home heating aid for low-income families.

alright, who do these useless feeders think they are wanting me to tax Big Oil?They earned this money fair and square, and I'm tired of hearing about the low and middle class needing heating oil, gas and such stuff.

Canadian Government Caught Funding Anti-Christian Bigotry

OTTAWA, October 27, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A Conservative MP has discovered through documents obtained under Access to Information that Status of Women Canada has been funding anti-Christian bigotry and pro-abortion activism. However, in a startling exchange of correspondence, the Minister responsible for the funding neither offered to pull the funding nor to apologize to Christian Canadians for funding groups which defame them.
Writing to Minister of Canadian Heritage and Minister responsible for Status of Women Liza Frulla last month, Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott pointed out that the documents obtained through access to information requests revealed the government granted $27,400 last year to the BC Pro-Choice Action network (pro-CAN).
In his letter to the Minister, MP Vellacott notes:
Pro-CAN spokesperson Joyce Arthur uses derogatory labels to describe individuals who are pro-life, saying their opposition to abortion, "comes primarily from religious justifications for oppressing women" and a need to "maximize (the Catholic Church's) membership levels to maintain their worldly influence and wealth." Pro-CAN accuses pro-life Christians of being "religious fanatics" who do "little or nothing for children once they are born." She says pro-life Christians are "anti-woman and anti-child," have views which are "uninformed, sexist, cruel," and lack the ability to empathize which "breeds intolerance, hate crimes, and war." Ms. Arthur says that the pro-lifer's attitude towards women is like "the slaveholder's attitude to blacks, and the Nazi's attitude to Jews."
Vellacott suggested that the Minister withdraw funding from the group and apologize to Christian Canadians for funding such bigotry. "The government should be taking no part in spreading this sort of bigotry. Please ensure that any current funding to Pro-CAN ceases immediately and that no future taxpayer money be given to this group. And please have your department issue a public apology to all Christians and pro-life Canadians because of your department's financial support of this hate mongering organization," said Vellacott.
In a curt reply dated October 18, Minister Frulla says, "I appreciate being made aware of your concerns." The Minister acknowledges that pro-CAN and the other pro-abortion activist groups mentioned in the letter by Vellacott, "did indeed receive funding under the women's Program of Status of Women Canada."
Frulla suggested she was well aware of the activities of pro-CAN, but found no objection to funding the anti-Christian group with public monies. "Each application is assessed according to a stringent set of objectives and criteria . . . Please be assured that the initiatives cited in your letter, which did indeed receive funding, met all of the above-mentioned objectives and eligibility criteria."
Frulla concluded her response, "Please accept my best wishes for the challenges ahead."

Hey....I know that nerd

OK...How many of you guys remember a geeky little nerd from school. Was it this guy?
Well, he's stealing all of our money

CELEBRITY Disfunction

I am sick to death of hearing about so called celebrities. These are the most disfunctional people on the planet. How can anyone be that self absorbed? How can they believe anyone cares about a damn thing they have to say.
I mean, I don't imagine that anyone reading this blog gives a shit about what I think.
Who honestly cares if Tom Cruise is a freakin' Scientologist? Any one with half a brain knows that shit is made up silliness.
Who cares if Brittany had a kid?
Really, are we such pathetic creatures that we have to find the true meaning of life from these pinheads.
A normal, everyday, clear thinking, functional human would be so embarrassed to be one of these losers. Really, these are the dysfunctional and pathetic of the planet. What makes someone think that they are Sooooooo inportant that anyone cares.

All together now..... tell these losers how pathetic they are.
Ready?
"You guys are the height of dysfunctional, and I don't give a damn about reading, or hearing about your pathetic little life.

'The radical right wing of the Republican Party killed' Miers nomination

Senate Minority Leader Reid reacts'The radical right wing of the Republican Party killed' Miers nomination
Posted: October 27, 200511:36 a.m. EasternSen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the minority leader of the Senate, responded to Harriet Miers' withdrawal of her nomination to the Supreme Court today on his website:
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
"The radical right wing of the Republican Party killed the Harriet Miers nomination. Apparently, Ms. Miers did not satisfy those who want to pack the Supreme Court with rigid ideologues.
"I had recommended that the President consider nominating Ms. Miers because I was impressed with her record of achievement as the managing partner of a major Texas law firm and the first woman president of the Texas Bar Association. In those roles she was a strong supporter of law firm diversity policies and a leader in promoting legal services for the poor. But these credentials are not good enough for the right wing: they want a nominee with a proven record of supporting their skewed goals.
"In choosing a replacement for Ms. Miers, President Bush should not reward the bad behavior of his right wing base. He should reject the demands of a few extremists and choose a justice who will protect the constitutional rights of all Americans."

NO, you Moron, clear thinking conservatives derailed a non qualified pick that was only recommended as payback to services rendered.
You knotheads are not fooling the public, America can see through this criminal and ethically challenged behavior.
Reid, you are an IDIOT!!!!!!!!!

I"m a Conservative American, and I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take it anymore

ConocoPhillips profit beats forecasts

By Deepa Babington Wed Oct 26,11:48 AM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP - news), the No. 3 U.S. oil company, on Wednesday reported quarterly profit surged 89 percent, surpassing Wall Street forecasts, driven by record oil prices and sharply higher refining margins.

ConocoPhillips, like other major oil companies, has reaped a windfall from soaring crude oil prices -- which touched a record $70 a barrel in the quarter -- and better refining margins, as powerful hurricanes blew through the Gulf of Mexico, severely disrupting energy operations.

The latest news about Harriet Miers' record hardly seems likely to assuage the concerns of conservatives in and out of the Senate who already have serious doubts about her conservative credentials. As president-elect and president of the Texas Bar Association, she supported (passionately according to one report) a scheme for preferential treatment of minorities and women that surely would pass the duck test as a quota system in the judgment of most conservatives.
Doubtless Miers' supporters will stick with their reassurances about her conservative philosophy – whatever her personal views about quotas – while implying that in any case this is just one of a range of issues that she will have to deal with on the Court. Unfortunately, it's also just one of a series of indications that Harriet Miers' "personal views" are seriously at odds with conservative ideas and principles.
Judging by the record, she had no personal qualms about supporting a lecture series at SMU that touted leftist feminists as role models of achievement. She had no personal compunctions about supporting an organization for young girls that encouraged acceptance of lesbianism. She also felt personally inspired to volunteer disparagement of membership in the conservative Federalist Society.
Of course, when answering a campaign questionnaire as she ran for the Dallas City Council, she did support a constitutional ban on abortion, and she did buy a ticket to a pro-life dinner when appearing there could help her candidacy. The record begins to suggest that though Miers is personally opposed to conservatism, she believes it's her duty to disregard personal conviction when doing so will advance her career.
In this case, however, the problem with the "personal views" argument lies in the tenuous distinction between personal and official convictions. The oath of a Supreme Court justice is binding upon personal conscience. If such an official believes that a certain position corresponds to right and justice, that official is oath bound to act in good conscience.
The Roe v. Wade case, for example, turned on the question of whether the individual in the womb must be regarded as a person or not. Justice Blackmun, after reviewing the views of different religions and philosophies, and taking account of what he claimed was the position of "the law" in the United States and elsewhere, reached the conclusion that in the womb the infant is not a person. This was not a conclusion about the Constitution. It reflected the (presumably) conscientious views of the justices who concurred in his opinion.
If, in conscience, a justice disagreed with that conclusion – i.e., he conscientiously believed that, because all are created equal, from conception the infant must be regarded as a person – he was bound to oppose their opinion. None of them could contend that they had to follow the Constitution, whatever their personal convictions, because the conclusion about what was constitutional required a prior conclusion of conscience about the personhood of the infant in the womb. That conclusion, by the way, was not specific to the facts or circumstances of the Roe case itself.
As Blackmun acknowledged, it necessarily reflected broad religious and philosophic ideas. The justices had to assess these ideas in light of their own reason, common sense and moral judgment.
A justice who takes an oath binding upon personal conscience – then disregards the dictates of conscience in the performance of her duties – forswears her oath. She perjures herself, in the literal sense of the word. Conservatives like James Dobson presumably believe that Harriet Miers will vote to overturn Roe v. Wade should the opportunity arise. But Roe v. Wade should be overturned only if it was wrongly decided, and it was wrongly decided if the infant in the womb must be regarded as a person.
If in good conscience Harriet Miers believes the infant is a person, she would be bound in conscience to overturn Roe. Otherwise, she would not be. If in her judicial actions she acts against her conscientious convictions, she cannot claim any constitutional requirement, since the requirement doesn't exist until the issue of conscience has been decided one way or the other. Obviously, therefore, her personal convictions (i.e., the views she holds as a matter of personal conscience) cannot be regarded as irrelevant to the issue of her fitness for the Supreme Court. In fact, if she (or any other nominee for that matter) gives the impression that in her judicial actions she will disregard her conscientious convictions, she raises serious doubts about the integrity with which she will perform her constitutional duties.
Judging by her actions, Harriet Miers believes that diversity, proven by percentages that reflect the general population, justifies discrimination based on race and gender. This belief is seriously at odds with conservative principles, or what President G.W. Bush would call conservative judicial philosophy. The conservative argument can be simply summarized. Our Constitution derives from the principle that, since all men are created equal, physical or material differences do not give some people prior claim to be superior to and rule over others. Government must therefore be based upon the consent of the governed, as registered through institutions based upon elective representation.
Representative self-government rests on the premise of human moral equality. In the public realm, discrimination that relies on physical or material differences as such is unjust because it violates this premise. Hence the ban against racial and gender discrimination. Of course, it is permissible to discriminate among individuals based upon their performance; their fitness for a given function; their proven capacity to achieve a goal, etc. Physical and material differences may play a role in these results, but the results are the acceptable basis for discrimination, not the physical characteristics themselves.
If Harriet Miers passionately supports quota-driven preferences for women and minorities, she must believe that, under certain circumstances the premise of moral equality can be set aside. But this would mean that, in her view, respect for moral equality is a matter of calculation, not a fundamental issue of principle. If some preferred outcome is achieved by disregarding it, she appears willing to do so.
But respect for the premise of moral equality is not just the key to conservative opposition to quotas. It is the principle of conservative opposition to abortion as well. As we have noted, the argument in Roe v. Wade turns on the personhood of the infant in the womb. The majority in that case denied personhood on account of the infant's imperfect physical development. They discriminated on the basis of physical characteristics, which were taken in and of themselves as sufficient grounds to treat the child in the womb as an inferior being with no unalienable right to life.
The premise of moral equality is treated as a matter of numerical calculation rather than principle, so that questions of how long, how many and how much decide the critical issue of human worth and dignity.
Harriet Miers' promotion of quota-style affirmative action thus raises new doubts about her grasp of and adherence to the conservative judicial philosophy President Bush claims on her behalf. The White House has encouraged people to judge Miers on her record. But as we learn more about her actions, the gap between her apparent beliefs and any reasonable understanding of conservative philosophy grows ever larger.
I fear it has already become too large to be overcome by her performance in Senate hearings. Her actions speak so loudly it may be too difficult to lend credence to mere words. As the bard wrote, "words to the heat of deeds too cold breath give." President Bush has handed conservatives in the Senate a nomination that may be too hot to handle credibly. For their sake and his, it might be better if Harriet Miers takes action now to allow the president to offer a different choice.

Murder leads to child abuse

Springfield, IL (LifeNews.com) -- For decades, evidence has existed showing abortion contributes to a rise in child abuse. Now a new study by a post-abortion research institute and Bowling Green State University professors finds that women who have abortions are more likely to abuse their children.

Published in the medical journal Acta Paediatrica, the study found that women who have had abortions are 2.4 times more likely to physically abuse their children. Pro-life advocates say it proves the need for providing women with post-abortion counseling to help deal with the emotional trauma of the abortion.

Another study that shows that murder can lead to child abuse. Now there's a novel idea.
Who would have imagined that a woman who would rip her child from her belly and have him killed and thrown into the trash would ever abuse her children?

Taxing America

Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.,

Finally Some legislators are determined to eliminate the illegal non-government entity based in Puerto Rico known as the IRS. No more tax returns to file.

A nationwide consumption tax is the only fair and equitable form of taxation. The rich pay more, the poor pay less.
Why has common sense eluded our elected officials for so long.
