The Sky is Falling!

By Lenice Moynihan
Obama, the need for health care is not a ticking time bomb, you are. You sound like Chicken little crying the sky is falling. Since you have been in office every other week you tell us just that. You continue to play on people’s fears and use rhetoric to press emotional buttons. Now [...]

It’s not St. Patrick’s Day but wear some green: Global Day of Action, July 25

By Lisa Farrar Wellman
Though the mainstream media relegates the Iranian protests to a 30-second sound bite here and there, the situation is far from over. In recent weeks protesters have continued to determinedly take to the streets in Tehran. Despite an intensely brutal crackdown by the regime and its constant wall of censorship, the Iranian [...]

Biden Indicates U.S. Won’t Stand in Israel’s Way

By Nichole Hungerford

Remember back when Obama tap danced around the question of direct engagement of Iran with no preconditions and you could almost envision him and Ahmadinejad sharing a milkshake at the In-N-Out Burger? Yeah. Now, following the brutal crackdown of Iran’s own protesting citizens, the White House still intends to engage the oppressive regime with respect to their nuclear ambitions. They seem so open for dialogue, don’t they? Remarks from Vice President Biden demonstrate that the U.S. will not stand in the way if Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities. He said that as a sovereign nation Irsrael can determine for itself what is in its best interest. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated that they may take action if Iran does not respond to offers of engagement by year’s end, at which time Iran’s interest in diplomacy should be clear.

A rose by any other name

There was an article in the Examiner on the 21st of June about ACORN and their ‘new name.”

When I first started to write about this I thought well I do not know anything about ACORN. My second thought was – who does? And that is the way this organization wants it to be.

Ok, so what is an acorn? It is a small nut which once planted grows into a huge oak tree. This little nut is planted deep and is unseen by the human eye. The huge tree that grows is seen, but has many branches and some are obscured by other branches. This large tree drops nuts to the ground that are planted and the cycle continues.

Supreme Court Overturns Sotomayor Decision

Hooray!  The Supreme Court overturned the ruling in the Ricci v. DeStephano case!  Perhaps justice isn’t dead.  The decision translates to an admission that the New Haven, CT firefighters were indeed denied promotions based on their race.  For those of you who don’t know the details, basically what happened [...]

Learn about Sherman-Kirk Amendment to help IRAN

By Lisa Farrar Wellman
Are you sitting in front of your computer wishing there was something tangible we could do for the Iranians? I am. I’m a Christian so I believe in the power of prayer. I also believe in the power of oil. Take a look at this bi-partisan amendment and imagine what it could [...]

Do you see yourself in the face of an Iranian?

By Lisa Farrar Wellman
Protesting an election is pretty darn liberated of the Iranians, don’t you think? At first I watched their actions with a cynical attitude. They march in vain. Their elections are rigged. What’s the point? Now, though, I’m rooting for them. I believe in them. This is bigger than Mousavi, who is just as radical and untrustworthy as Ahmadinejad. If you spend 6.5 seconds on Twitter, you’ll see Iranians now calling for revolution, for the end of the mullahs and the Supreme Leader. They’re calling for workers to strike and citizens to refuse to pay their utility bills. Tweets ask for help translating first aid instructions into Farsi. Others offer advice on how to treat gunshot wounds and tear gas symptoms. This people held down by restrictions and fear is organizing itself using the latest in today’s technology and social networks. They’re demanding freedom from the oppression that has strangled their country for far too long.

Iranians fight today for what we already have and take for granted.

“Nothing Replaces a Daddy” – Lt. Col. Oliver North

“The explosion of a carefully planted IED mangled Sgt Edwards below his body armor. The first person to him was U.S. Navy medical Corpsman Christopher Anderson. The man they called “Doc” Anderson immediately applied tourniquets to Edwards’ shattered limbs and started an IV to ward off shock.

As they raced for the LZZ to meet an inbound casualty-evacuation helicopter, Edwards looked up at the man who was checking his pulse and said, ‘take care of my babies, Doc.’

MythOmania!

By Lenny Moynihan
Recently we saw Brian Williams bow to the President after his interview at the White House. A handshake would suffice. Americans have no intention of bowing to our President. This week Obama was also quoted in an interview with France’s Canal Plus suggesting America is a Muslim country. The statistics don’t support his [...]
