Gingrich: Americans ‘surrounded by paganism.’ bidenfire On Friday, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, and Oliver North visited Rock Church in Hampton Roads, Virginia to give a three-hour long lecture on “Rediscovering God in America.” The speakers warned the audience about the “continuing availability of abortion, the spread of gay rights, and attempts to remove religion from American public life and school history books.” The Virginia-Pilot reported that Gingrich argued that, while Christianity is the foundation of American citizenship, Americans are experiencing a period where they are being “surrounded by paganism”: GINGRICH: I am not a citizen of the ...

Yes, we do drink espresso By Gideon Levy Tags: Tel Aviv, settlers Police Maj. Gen. Shlomi Katabi opened his mouth. He is the outgoing commander of the West Bank District Police, an officer nobody had even heard of. Yet upon his retirement, he decided to share what was truly in his heart. Here are some of his pearls of wisdom: "I love the settlers. They are the salt of the earth. The ease with which people denigrate them is just completely disgusting .... They sit in Tel Aviv, park their SUVs on Sheinkin Street, drink espresso with their legs crossed and allow themselves to criticize. Their willingness to contribute to the state is zero." Of course, we could have simply ignored ...

Is the US Really a Nation of God-Fearing Darwin-Haters? By Peter Baldwin Is it only Europeans who want to save the environment and only Americans who discount Darwin? In the final part of his series on trans-Atlantic differences, American historian Peter Baldwin explains why these stereotypes don't work - and what the real differences between Old Europe and America are. In a three-part essay for SPIEGEL ONLINE, American historian Peter Baldwin argues that the EU and the US are much more similar than they think. You can read part one of his essay hereand part two here. In ecological terms, America is thought to be wasteful -- big cars, big houses, long commutes, cold winters, hot ...

Why Europeans Have It Wrong About Americans By Peter Baldwin in Los Angeles Many Europeans think that the US is full of gun-toting maniacs and illiterate morons. In part two of his series on trans-Atlantic differences, American historian Peter Baldwin shows why Europeans have this -- and plenty of other facts about America -- plain wrong. In a three-part essay for SPIEGEL ONLINE, American historian Peter Baldwin argues that the EU and the US are much more similar than they think. You can read part one of his essay here. When compared to Europe, the US welfare state is often portrayed as miserly and undeveloped. And so it is, if the standard is taken to be Sweden or Germany. But if we ...

Sophisticated Europeans, Obese Americans? By Peter Baldwin in Los Angeles One side is home to red wine-sipping Europeans, the other to gun-toting Americans: A whole slew of stereotypes can be found on both sides of the Atlantic. But, as American historian Peter Baldwin argues in a three-part essay for SPIEGEL ONLINE, the EU and the US are much more similar than they think. Talk about upending accepted certainties! While Europe is now in the hands of right-of-center parties (see France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and the UK's David Cameron pacing restlessly in the wings), America has "gone socialist." Nationalizing the financial sector by the back door, considering ...
Walking Away Revisited - Reader Mailbag - Moral Dilemma

Tonight I received a request from "SS" asking to revisit the subject of walking away. SS Writes: Mish, Over a year ago you wrote this article: Walking Away: The Next Mortgage Crisis A lot has changed since the publication and most - if not all - changed for the worse economically since that time. I was wondering if you would/could write a post to address the topic once again. I am a condo owner who has done nothing wrong. I put money down, I did not buy over my means, and I did not attempt to use my house as a credit card. As a matter of fact, I am still employed and I still continue to make payments on my mortgage. All that said, I am at a loss of over 100K and the banks ...

Cal Thomas: Unions, overregulation drove American Dream into a ditch By Cal Thomas Published: Friday, Jun. 5, 2009 - 12:00 am | Page 19A See the USA in your Chevrolet America is asking you to call. Drive your Chevrolet through the USA America's the greatest land of all. Fifty years ago, those words set to music each week on NBC's "The Dinah Shore Show" reflected an America and an automobile industry that is no more. That time and that industry were laid to rest this week when General Motors filed for bankruptcy and the government effectively nationalized GM and Chrysler after wasting billions of our tax dollars on a failed bailout. Despite disclaimers from ...

The Murder At Harvard By John McWhorter A few weeks ago a teenaged pot dealer was shot dead in a Harvard dormitory. That alone was depressing enough. However, Harvard suspects a black senior, Chanequa Campbell, of an association with the pot dealer -- Justin Cosby, also black -- and last week was barred from her dormitory and prevented from graduating. Campbell grew up in the depressed Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, but was a star student, a product of elite prep school Packer Collegiate Institiute, and four years ago was celebrated for her achievement. The details have yet to be released. But one of the three men who planned the murder, and a suspect in the shooting ...

There is a high chance a majority of the States within the United States of America could file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy. There are currently 46 states with high budget deficits, Arizona being one of them. In fact, Jan Brewer, the newly appointed Governor of Arizona has a major crisis on her hands, one that Arizona and national media isn’t covering. The alarming news is the State of Arizona has 90 to 120 days before they completely run out of money. After that, all bills and tax refunds owed to the citizens will go unpaid. Before Janet Napolitano left for her new Homeland secretary position, she had a stand-off with Arizona Treasurer Dean Martin. The AZ Treasurer forewarned Napolitano ...

The Execution Of George Tiller By Anthony C. LoBaido 6-4-9 The recent summary execution of abortion doctor George Tiller because of his late term abortion career raises many questions If you are against abortion -- especially late term abortion -- because it's murder, then how can you murder George Tiller? That makes you like him. It's nutty. Yet may we ask why are babies killed/terminated in the latest stages of their development? What happend to that ancient Greek oath doctors must take to "do no harm ..." What exactly is a "D&X" abortion -- where the brain tissue of a baby being born is sucked out of its skull? This is the United States of America? ...

Americans 'negative' about Muslims By Rob Reynolds, senior Washington correspondent The poll comes as the US president tries to reach out to the Muslim world [GALLO/GETTY] As Barack Obama, the US president, seeks to mend the image of the US in the Muslim world, a new survey indicates almost half of Americans have a negative opinion about Muslim countries. The 46 per cent of respondents who held an unfavourable view of Islamic nations was up five per cent from 2002, while just 20 per cent said they held a positive opinion. In depth "It's pretty difficult to think much about folks that are seriously trying to kill us or kill anybody who doesn't believe the way they ...
MSNBC's deafening silence on Buchanan's Holocaust denial forum

More than three weeks ago, I outed Patrick Buchanan, the former senior White House official in the Nixon and Reagan administrations, erstwhile candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and now a highly paid political commentator on MSNBC, for sponsoring a Holocaust denial forum on his Web site. Within hours of this disclosure in a New York Daily News article, the forum in question, entitled "Disinformation, Deception and Other Tricks: Discussion About 'The Holocaust'" (with The Holocaust in quotes, of course), mysteriously vanished from Buchanan.org and the link to it was disabled. The Buchanan Web site's forum followed the standard Holocaust deniers' ...

If the U.S. Senate rejects race-based justice, Sonia Sotomayor will never sit on the Supreme Court. Because that is what Sonia is all about. As The New York Times reported Saturday, the salient cause of her career has been advancing persons of color, over whites, based on race and national origin. "Judge Sotomayor, whose parents moved to New York from Puerto Rico," writes reporter David Kirkpatrick, "has championed the importance of considering race and ethnicity in admissions, hiring and even judicial selection at almost every stage of her career." At Princeton, she headed up Accion Puertorriquena, which filed a complaint with the Department of Health, Education and ...

Robert Fisk: Police state is the wrong venue for Obama's speech Wednesday, 3 June 2009 Maybe Barack Obama chose Egypt for his "great message" to Muslims tomorrow because it contains a quarter of the world's Arab population, but he is also coming to one of the region's most repressed, undemocratic and ruthless police states. Egyptian human rights groups – when they are not themselves being harassed or closed down by the authorities – have recorded a breathtaking list of police torture, extra-judicial killings, political imprisonments and state-sanctioned assaults on opposition figures that continues to this day.

With Democrats Like Him, Who Needs Dictators? MIAMI--We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama's inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through. From healthcare to torture to the economy to war, Obama has reneged on pledges real and implied. So timid and so owned is he that he trembles in fear of offending, of all things, the government of Turkey. Obama has officially reneged on his campaign promise to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. When a president doesn't have the 'nads to annoy the ...

A New Private-Public Partnership: The Citizen Police State

While the threats to our liberties from our own government may be great, many don't realize that the greatest threats to our freedoms may be soon coming from our own neighbors and friends. While reporting neighbors to city officials for unsightly lawns and shoddy house maintenance has become accepted and common place, the precedent is dangerous. In the great dystopia novel, 1984, George Orwell describes a police state regime which uses friends, neighbors, and even children to spy and report to "Big Brother" about their neighbor's movements and 'suspicious' activities. This citizen spy network terrorizes the populace of 1984 to keep in line with the established ...

The unfolding spectacle of Speaker Pelosi attending a briefing, in which the CIA informed her of enhanced interrogation techniques, and then lying about it, is part of the grave danger to our democracy. The Left is shrinking honesty into an empty, ignored, and mocked virtue. Pelosi is not just lying about being at a vital briefing; she has decided that the best defense is a good offense: accuse the CIA of misleading Congress and, particularly, her. This is much worse than simply holding the wrong policy on issues. Mike Mansfield often held very wrong positions on issues, but he never lied to America or to his colleagues. The Left, when it had men like Mike Mansfield, Eugene McCarthy, and ...
