Our Administration Says We Are Human Rights Violators…

By Stu

Our Administration says we are Human Rights Violators….What’s wrong with this picture ?

The Federal Government includes Arizona’s immigration law in its United Nations report on human rights violations.

Our State Department headed by Hillary Clinton presented a case to the United Nations showing how the Federal Government is correcting our Human Rights Violations in the SB 1070 law just passed in Arizona. It’s funny because the lawsuit was not about any Human Rights violations. The Federal Governments suit was basically saying Arizona can’t enforce the boarders because it’s the job of the Federal Government.

Glenn Beck at the Lincoln Memorial – Insensitive?

By Jennie

In the wake of the NYC Muslim Cultural Center kerfuffle, I find the story about Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally to be held Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial interesting. Beck claims that he was unaware that he was scheduling the rally on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech, given at the same location. I find this claim unconvincing.

Pelosi: Unemployment Checks Fastest Way to Create Jobs

By Jeff

I’m sorry. I really try to give our elected officials the benefit of the doubt. I rationalize by thinking that maybe they were misquoted or maybe they misspoke or maybe they don’t fully understand the issue, but when an official (the highest ranking member in the House) says something so incredibly stupid I must tell someone. So I picked you.

The Abby Sunderland Controversy
By Anya
 
“I had begun to think that dreams are meant to be no more than dreams and that in reality dreams don’t come true. Then my brother (Zac) left on his trip. It was amazing to see all the support that he got from around the world and to see how everyone worked together to help make his dream reality. Watching him do this really made me believe that I could too.” – Abby Sunderland (age 16).

It’s all too much to bear, and it didn’t have to happen! Early childhood birding adventures in Louisiana’s breathtaking coastal marshlands now has personal impact.
