Russian lawmakers say Stalin ordered massacre of Polish soldiers - CNN.com: "The World War II massacre, in which an estimated 20,000 Polish officers were murdered at point blank in the village of Katyn, has tainted Russian-Polish relations. The Duma's Friday vote comes as Russian President Dmitry Medvedev prepares to travel to Poland in December.
For decades, the Soviet government blamed the killings on Nazi Germany.
In 1990, Russia finally admitted to what many in Poland had long suspected: The Soviet Union secretly murdered as many as 22,000 Polish soldiers and civilians in the early days of World War II in an attempt to pre-emptively suppress a Polish rebellion against communist rule."

Israeli police storm Jerusalem mosque compound - World news - Mideast/N. Africa - msnbc.com

2010-09-22T20:55:00.000-05:00

"Israeli police forces stormed a disputed Jerusalem holy site Wednesday to stop Palestinian rioters from throwing stones at Jewish worshippers.
Police on Wednesday briefly moved onto the hilltop compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and took up positions."

The hypocrisy is stagering. An Arab gets shot by an Israeli security guard, and Arabs riot, seek to hurt and kill innocent Jews worshipping God at the Wailing Wall (what would happen if Jews attacked praying Arabs at a mosque?). Even though Jews are having to defend themselves hourly at checkpoints, on the streets, on buses, at schools-- well, everywhere. And when an Arab does kill a Jew, the Arabs rejoice in the streets and name buildings, schools and other things after the suicide-murderers. God is not blind to this evil. What the world is sowing against Israel and Christians suffering at the hands of unrelenting hatred and merciless forces, they will reap. God is just.

The opinion pointed out Davidson is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), requires more than half of the trustees to be active members in the denomination and that the life of the president provide "evidence of strong Christian faith and commitment."

The school's statement of purpose says in part: "The Christian tradition to which Davidson remains committed recognizes God as the source of all truth, and believes that Jesus Christ is the revelation of that God, a God bound by no church or creed."

So What?

This is not an insistence upon small nuclear families as a definition of marriage but it is an insistence that family and marriage have something to do with objective, natural reality."

"'Radicals precipitate the social crisis by action - by using power. Liberals may then timidly follow along or else, as in most cases, be swept forward along the course set by Radicals, but all because of forces unloosed by Radical action. They are forced to positive action only in spite of their desires ...
'The American Radical will fight privilege and power whether it be inherited or acquired by any small group, whether it be political or financial or organized creed.
'He curses a caste system which he recognizes despite all patriotic denials.
'He will fight conservatives whether they are business or labor leaders.
'He will fight any concentration of power hostile to a broad, popular democracy, whether he finds it in financial circles or in politics.
'The Radical recognizes that constant dissension and conflict is and has been the fire under the boiler of democracy. He firmly believes in that brave saying of a brave people, 'Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!'
'The Radical may resort to the sword but when he does he is not filled with hatred against those individuals whom he attacks. He hates these individuals not as persons but as symbols representing ideas or interests which he believes to be inimical to the welfare of the people.
'That is the reason why Radicals, although frequently embarking upon revolutions, have rarely resorted to personal terrorism.'
Alinsky practiced what he preached. He said, 'Tactics means doing what you can with what you have ... tactics is the art of how to take and how to give.'"

"Sympathy for the Turkish devil
By Spengler

The American commentariat is shocked, shocked , to discover that Turkey has abandoned the Western alliance for an adventurous bid to become the dominant Muslim power in the Middle East. Tom Friedman of the New York Times suggested on June 15 that 'President [Barack] Obama should invite him for a weekend at Camp David to clear the air before US-Turkey relations get where they’re going - over a cliff.' Friedman blames the European Community for rejecting Turkey's membership bid which, he says, was a 'key factor prompting Turkey to move closer to Iran and the Arab world'."

Mills said Clinton has a “personal commitment” to the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender community.

“Human rights are gay rights and gay rights are human rights, once and for all,” Clinton said. “So here at the State Department we will continue to advance a comprehensive human rights agenda that includes the elimination of violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Clinton said that “agenda” must be advanced both around the world and at home.

“So as we continue to advance LGBT rights in other countries, we also must continually work to make sure we are advancing the agenda here,” Clinton said"

"Glasspool is the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church since Gene Robinson took office in New Hampshire in 2004. Episcopalians instituted a temporary ban on gay bishops after Robinson's ordination but revoked that ban last summer.
The daughter of a priest, Glasspool was one of two openly gay candidates on the slate in the Los Angeles diocese. She has said that her sexual orientation is 'not an issue.'
Bishop Jon Bruno of Los Angeles called Glasspool, an ordained priest for 28 years, a 'highly qualified and experienced' cleric.
'She's not afraid of conflict and is a reconciler,' Bruno said, according to the Episcopal Church website."

No breakthroughs in US, China human rights talks - Yahoo! News

"Posner said in addition to talks on freedom of religion and expression, labor rights and rule of law, officials also discussed Chinese complaints about problems with U.S. human rights, which have included crime, poverty, homelessness and racial discrimination.
He said U.S. officials did not whitewash the American record and in fact raised on its own a new immigration law in Arizona that requires police to ask about a person's immigration status if there is suspicion the person is in the country illegally.

China, a nation that has the world's worst human-record ever--estimated 150 million killed by the communist government-- is now complaining to the US about so-called US human-rights violations? This is a sad public relation attempt. Not as sad as our own Presidential administration's officials "in fact raised on its own a new immigration law in Arizona" to a bloody and oppressive government of China!

9/11 families blast Kagan - NYPOST.com

"Doyle and thousands of other 9/11 relatives had joined in a suit that traced funding for the 19 hijackers to certain Saudi royals, along with banks, corporations and Islamic charities.
The royals were let off the hook last year at the urging of Kagan, the US solicitor general.
'Kagan protected them,' Doyle said. 'I think it's a huge issue, and I hope it comes up in her confirmation hearings.'
She filed a brief to the Supreme Court last May, arguing that the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act shielded Saudi princes from the suit's claims that they gave money to Osama bin Laden and other terrorist leaders or to charities that funneled funds to al Qaeda.
Kagan cited 'the potentially significant foreign-relations consequences of subjecting another sovereign state to suit.'
The Supreme Court declined to hear the case."

FOXNews.com - Holder Admits to Not Reading Arizona's Immigration Law Despite Criticizing It

2010-05-13T21:17:00.000-05:00

"Despite repeatedly voicing concerns about Arizona's new immigration enforcement law in recent weeks and threatening to challenge it, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he has not yet read the law, which is only 10 pages long.
Despite repeatedly voicing concerns about Arizona's new immigration enforcement law in recent weeks and threatening to challenge it, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he has not yet read the law -- which is only 10 pages long.
'I have not had a chance to -- I've glanced at it,' Holder said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing when asked had he read the state law cracking down on illegal immigrants."

This story is a continuation of democratic legacy: style over substance, agenda-driven, all about the "in name only" game; showing themselves as being complete ideologues; best described as knee-jerk libs.

Lets see, to put this story in some sort of proper perspective lets compare a couple of recent bills passed by US elected officials: democrats on the Federal level, and republicans on a State level. Democratic leaders just recently crammed down the throats of Americans an unpopular health care takeover bill that was more than 2000 pages long. None of the democrats are on record saying they read all of it. Even though they were in the news daily supporting the health bill as needed for Americans, wanted by Americans and that it would be good for all Americans. Adding also that against a huge movement of Americans, business leaders, republicans and economists that the bill spelled very ominus future for the US; dems repeated all such talk was only lies, misinformation, and that there wasn't anything amiss in the bill's writing, meanings or even in any future "interpratation" or application of it. Now that it's passed, we're seeing that it's not all that it was said to have been. It will cost a lot more than promised; punish a lot more than promised; change a lot more than promised; and will hurt a lot more than promised. Nevertheless, democrats were out en masse supporting it, pushing it and demanding it. Anyone who failed to echo their words and ideas on the issue were always cast in a very bad light, even as mean, cruel people that didn't care for other Americans.

Now from the other side of aisle we have a bill recently passed in AZ that is addressing what Americans themselves wholeheartedly support. According to polls it stands at 73% of the nation's population supports this bill. Around 50% of democrats support the bill, and __ of republicans do. Yet, with this extremely high number of the people, as opposed to activists, in favor of the bill, what do democratic leaders do? They are on record opposing it outright. Many democratic leaders were calling it such things as racist and along the line of even Nazism. In the frenzy of criticism and contempt was our Nation's highest lawyer: democrat Eric Holder. Holder came out of the gate swinging at the law before it was even signed by AZ's Governor. Holder was also associating the bill with racism, government abuse and other political hot-button issues that makes the liberal media jump and shout in in concert. What really makes this such an ugly lesson in the democratic reality of today is that Eric Holder was morally against this bill, spoke against it many times in the media, was personally working with the Department of Homeland Security against the bill, and claimed to be exploring the idea of a court challenge to the bill in the hopes of stopping or preventing it's use--WITHOUT EVEN READING BILL TO SEE WHAT WAS IN IT, even though it was only TEN PAGES LONG! This is why democratic leaders are held in such a very negative view by the majority of Americans today. And with this kind of behavior being their normal approach to things, that view is rightly held.

"'It is forbidden for enlightened countries to divide terrorists into good and bad ones on the basis of geography,' the Foreign Ministry stated.
'A terrorist is a terrorist,' and there is no difference between Hamas terrorism against Israel and Chechen terrorism agains Russia, the Foreign Ministry said.
'There is no difference between [Hamas chief] Khaled Meshaal and [the late Chechen leader] Shamil Basayev, who was killed in 2005.'
'Israel has always stood behind Russia in its fight against Chechen terrorism and would have expected similar treatment regarding Hamas terrorism against Israel,' it concluded.
Despite Hamas' oft-repeated statement that it will destroy the 'Zionist occupiers,' i.e., Israel, Russia has never distanced itself from the group."

Along with the fact that Russia is comitted to building a nucular plant in Turkey, and maybe one in Syria too; the situation is only getting worse for Israel, and the world.

The Associated Press: Thieves take controversial Mojave Desert cross

2010-05-11T13:29:00.000-05:00

"MOJAVE NATIONAL PRESERVE, Calif. — Authorities say a 7-foot-tall cross in the Mojave Desert that sparked a U.S. Supreme Court dispute has been stolen.
The National Park Service says someone cut the bolts holding down the metal-pipe cross and made off with it late Sunday or early Monday.
Veterans groups say they're outraged at what they consider the desecration of a symbol that was erected in 1934 by the Veterans of Foreign Wars to honor World War I dead.
The cross was challenged by critics who say a religious symbol shouldn't be allowed on public land but the U.S. Supreme Court last month refused to order it removed."

Where's the outcry of the actions of what seems to be haters, who have committied a hate crime, over stealling a very important Christian symbol recently vendicated by the highest court of America? What would happen if this was a symbol of anything supported by the liberals of this nation? You know the news coverage would be non-stop, and the stur it would cause would only be disscribed as enciting near frinzies against a "threat to national security", the "right-wing haters", "racists" and "evil republicans". And that with countless callings for new and very restrictive laws, banning freedoms, etc, at the hands of arbitrary officials!

New force for broad immigration reform: conservative evangelicals - CNN.com

2010-05-11T13:21:00.000-05:00

"But a growing chorus of conservative evangelical leaders has broken with their traditional political allies on the right. They're calling the Arizona law misguided and are attempting to use its passage to push for federal immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
The group, which includes influential political activists such as Richard Land, head of the Southern Baptist Convention's public policy wing, and Mathew Staver, dean of the Liberty University School of Law, will soon begin lobbying Republican leaders in Washington to support comprehensive immigration reform under President Obama."

Again, we see liberals/socialists of CNN and the DNC using the soft approach/capitulation of some churches, republicans, etc, as news-worthy info --not because of its biblically sound ideas, truth of anything Christian, or the such, but because of its support for something already in the DNC/liberal agenda and strategy for dominating US government.

The Post-Hispanic Hispanic Politician - NYTimes.com

2010-05-10T02:32:00.000-05:00

"In 1984, Mexican-American political activists were thrilled when Walter Mondale publicly considered Cisneros for the Democratic vice-presidential nomination. But second place no longer seems such a great prize. “In 1984, there were 20 million Hispanics in America,” according to the political activist Antonio Gonzalez, who heads the William C. Velasquez Institute. “Today, we are 50 million, and more and more people are registering to vote.” Who they will vote for and what issues will cement their party loyalty is one of the great questions of American politics. This year Democrats hope to exploit the ire among Hispanics over the new G.O.P.-inspired law in Arizona that empowers local police forces to crack down on illegal immigrants."

Isn't this a race-based comment, set of beliefs and motivators, and of the political ambition of a foreign people to rise up and control a land belonging to another people group? Isn't this "racism" when committed by "whites"? Can we say "double stantard!

Isn't this a law that most Americans support? Then the DNC is against the will of the people.

AFP: Obama bemoans 'diversions' of IPod, Xbox era

"Obama argued that from the days of the pioneer politicians who founded the United States, until the modern day, education and knowledge had been the key to progress and US democracy.
He drew a line between Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and today's challenges.

Graham upset Prayer Day invite was revoked - Army News, news from Iraq, - Army Times

2010-05-05T16:47:00.000-05:00

If President Obama fails to intervene to allow controversial evangelist Franklin Graham to lead a National Day of Prayer event Thursday inside the Pentagon, “it will be a slap in the face of all Christians,” Graham said Tuesday.
And invited or not, he’ll stand in front of the Pentagon and pray, Graham said in an interview.
The Pentagon had invited a private national evangelical group, the National Day of Prayer Task Force, of which Graham is 2010 honorary chairman, to lead an official prayer service there. The prayers are for the military; Graham’s son is on his fourth tour in Afghanistan.
But the invitation was rescinded after mainline Protestants, Muslims and Jews complained that Graham offends and excludes many believers because of his strict views on Christianity and his comments that Islam is “evil.”
The Task Force requires organizers and prayer leaders to sign a statement of beliefs agreeing that salvation is only through Christ and that the Bible is inerrant — views not shared by all Christians, including Catholics and many mainline Protestants."

The WH and the DNC are against Christian prayer. BO will jump to intercede for muslims, liberals and homosexuals, but Bible-believing Christians. If this was a muslims or homosexual then this would be a hate crime, or racist if they were non-white. When liberals, blacks or muslims show and speek in bigoted, racist and anti-Christian way, they still get the jobs, appointments and grants that the Federal and White House wants, but they look for and micro examen all things associated with the Christian to "find" reasons to censer, reprove, reject and remove them.

2010-05-05T13:13:00.000-05:00

"CONTESSA BREWER (7:06): I mean the thing is is that and I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.

And so there was part of me was really hoping this would not be the case that here would be somebody who is not the defined. I mean he’s accused he’s arrested you know I don’t want to convict him before it’s time to do so. He’s the guy authorities say is involved. But that being said I mean we know even in recent history you have the Haitari militia from Michigan who have plans to let’s face it create terror.

That’s what they were planning to do and they were doing so from far different backgrounds then what this guy is coming from. So, the threat is not just coming from people who decide that America is the place to be and you know come here and want to become citizens. Obviously this guy did."

These liberals are set against anything Christian, Conservative or traditional American, and they are just as set to defend and promote anything that is Islamic or aotherwise "anti" the aforementioned things liberals are set against.

"With Katie Couric drawing him out, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg agreed the Times Square car bombing was likely “homegrown” as he proceeded, in an interview excerpt run on Monday's CBS Evening News, to speculate it could have been placed by “somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

Could be “anything,” but the first thing Bloomberg thinks of are those who don't like ObamaCare, presumably conservatives or Tea Party activists."

"An official with the National Day of Prayer Task Force believes the strongest military force in the world has bowed to pressure from a small group of people who oppose prayer at the Pentagon.
John Bornschein was responding to news that the Pentagon has withdrawn an invitation for evangelist Franklin Graham to take part in an interfaith ceremony at the Pentagon.

Plans called for Graham to be part of an ecumenical service at the Pentagon during the National Day of Prayer event set for May 6, but after groups such as the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and the Council on American Islamic Relations complained about statements Graham had previously made about Islam, the Army announced it had withdrawn its request for the evangelist to speak."

"Verhoeven recently spoke to MTVs Josh Horowitz about the underlying symbolism of Robocop and his main conception was that the Robocop character was an “American Jesus” because his method of righting wrongs was to shoot and kill all evil doers. Robocop was judge, jury, and executioner all in one and that apparently makes him an “American Jesus.”
It was Verhoeven’s contention that America is little else but a violent nation that has no interest in peace, law, order, or diplomacy, but is the quintessentially violent cowboy, self-interested, and mostly a lawless place."

By Daniel Pipes, www.DanielPipes.org
Glamorous Muslim Political Women
In “Hijabs on Western Political Women” (see pictorial that follows below), I displayed a brood of queens, princesses, first ladies, members of congress, foreign ministers, journalists, and even movie stars looking anywhere from faintly ridiculous to outlandishly bad as they wear some variant of a hijab.
It then occurred to me, what about Muslim political women – are they all in hijabs, chadors, jilbabs, niqabs, and burqas? A little research found that at least some of them not only avoid any Islamic apparel but fit a Western standard of beauty and glamor, making a sharp contrast to those Europeans and Americans in their tatty hijabs."

National Day of Prayer ruled unconstitutional

2010-04-16T02:11:00.000-05:00

National Day of Prayer ruled unconstitutional: "Crabb wrote that in her view of case law, 'government involvement in prayer may be consistent with the establishment clause when the government's conduct serves a significant secular purpose and is not a 'call for religious action on the part of citizens,'' citing a high-profile Ten Commandments case, McCreary County, Kentucky v. ACLU.
'Unfortunately,' she wrote, the National Day of Prayer law 'cannot meet that test.'
'It goes beyond mere 'acknowledgment' of religion,' Crabb wrote, 'because its sole purpose is to encourage all citizens to engage in prayer, an inherently religious exercise that serves no secular function in this context. In this instance, the government has taken sides on a matter that must be left to individual conscience.'"

NASA lab accused of crackdown on intelligent design

NASA lab accused of crackdown on intelligent design: "A complaint has been filed against NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, which sent Galileo to Jupiter and dispatched a ship named Dawn to orbit asteroids Vesta and Ceres, claiming managers there discriminated against and demoted a key project worker because he shared intelligent design videos with co-workers.
The case has been filed by David Coppedge, an information technology specialist and systems administrator on the lab's Cassini mission to Saturn, which has been described as the most ambitious interplanetary exploration ever launched.
Images recently released from the project reveal lightning on Saturn.
'For the offense of offering videos to colleagues, Coppedge faced harassment, an investigation cloaked in secrecy, and a virtual gag order on his discussion of intelligent design,' said attorney Casey Luskin of Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture."

The Absurd Report » Who is Saul D. Alinsky?:

"Hilary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama
Although Obama did not study directly at “Alinsky School”, he was influenced enough by Alinsky to write a chapter in a book called After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois.
From the chapter in the book��
Why Organize? Problems and Promise in the Inner City
For three years Barack Obama was the director of Developing Communities Project, an institutionally based community organization on Chicago’s far south side. He has also been a consultant and instructor for the Gamaliel Foundation, an organizing institute working throughout the Midwest. Currently he is studying law at Harvard University. “Why Organize? Problems and Promise in the Inner City” was first published in the August/ September 1988 Illinois Issues [published by then-Sangamon State University, which is now the University of Illinois at Springfield].
Chapter 4 (pp. 35-40) of After Alinsky By Barack Obama can be read here�."

Judge to ACLU: Where are plaintiffs?

2010-04-01T01:16:00.000-05:00

Judge to ACLU: Where are plaintiffs?: "A federal judge handling a case brought by the ACLU against a school district that has forced teachers to hide in closets if they want to pray now is demanding documentation about the status of the plaintiffs, whose identifies have been kept secret.
That's because the case never was certified as class action, which means unless those for whom the case was brought remain in peril over the school's actions, there are valid questions about 'this court's continued enforcement jurisdiction over the consent decree,' the judge wrote.
WND has reported on the case, which has included an order crafted by the ACLU requiring employees in the Santa Rosa School District to act in an 'official capacity' whenever they are at a 'school event' – including breaks, after-school events on or off campus and private events held on campus."

So, the ACLU gets to "craft" its own law and the court enforces it? Why are these non-elected and non-acountable to the public people/firms getting to curcumvent the legitiment system of creating laws and enforcing them upon the American people? Where are the libs that are against churches, religious groups and the like from influencing laws when an outside group (s) is doing the same thing?

Southern Poverty Law Center Tries To ‘Alinsky’ The Tea Party Movement | NewsReal Blog

Southern Poverty Law Center Tries To ‘Alinsky’ The Tea Party Movement NewsReal Blog: "Using tactics straight out Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has released a scathing report attempting to isolate and ridicule the Tea Party movement. Filled with leftist talking points and blanket statements, the SPLC report, “Rage On The Right: The Year in Hate and Extremism,” asserts Tea Party alignment to “Timothy McVeigh and Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph,” “hate groups,” “furious anti-immigrant vigilante groups,”and ”so-called ‘Patriot’ groups.” In the eyes of the SPLC, the average American citizen is
“shot through with rich veins of radical ideas, conspiracy theories and racism.”The report identifies “Tenth Amendment Resolutions based on the constitutional provision” as signs of growing radicalization. Wow. It’s now radical to uphold the Constitution. Ironically America’s Founding Fathers were radicals in their day when they wrote the Constitution.
As it echoes themes from the Department of Homeland Security report last year on right-wing extremism the report provides no background support for its accusations and fails to acknowledge the wide variety of left wing extremism. Clearly its author Mark Potok missed the recent news about violent left wing extremists Joseph Stack and Amy Bishop. I think it’s about time to ‘Alinsky’ the Alinskyites."

Joseph and Mary in bed – obscene or illuminating? – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs: "A billboard showing a somber Mary and Joseph laying in bed together with the caption 'Poor Joseph. God was a hard act to follow,' is controversial, but not obscene, according to a decision by New Zealand's Advertising Standards Authorities.
The billboard, posted outside St. Matthew-in-the-city Anglican Church in Auckland, New Zealand, sparked outrage and vandalism by locals who 'consider the sexually and suggestive illustration of the nativity to be degrading to individuals and Christian groups,' according to a complaint filed with the ASA regarding the billboard that was posted before Christmas last year."

If this was anyother group or faith this wouldn't be tolorated for one second! Only Christians have to endure this at the hands of those that seek to do us harm.

Students want ‘Our Lord' phrase off diplomas

2010-03-30T04:13:00.000-05:00

Students want ‘Our Lord' phrase off diplomas: "A group of students at Trinity University is lobbying trustees to drop a reference to “Our Lord” on their diplomas, arguing it does not respect the diversity of religions on campus.
“A diploma is a very personal item, and people want to proudly display it in their offices and homes,” said Sidra Qureshi, president of Trinity Diversity Connection. “By having the phrase ‘In the Year of Our Lord,' it is directly referencing Jesus Christ, and not everyone believes in Jesus Christ.”
Qureshi, who is Muslim, has led the charge to tweak the wording, winning support from student government and a campus commencement committee. Trustees are expected to consider the students' request at a May board meeting."

Compare this to the treatment of college students, workers, churches and their staff, as well as normal life situations where Christians are mistreated daily in the Muslim world--without any real voices of help or concern in the Islamic world! What a rip off. Look at the same spirit of offences against all things Christian in britain-- where will it stop?

Its contributions to the community have been recognized by such respected figures as Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey, and Bill Clinton; as well as Warren Buffett, who famously contributed the value of an auctioned lunch on eBay.[1]
In 1964, Glide helped form the Council on Religion and the Homosexual in an effort to close the gap between people of faith and the homosexual community. [2]"

Poll: Low Favorability Ratings For Pelosi, Reid - Political Hotsheet - CBS News: "Most Americans don't have an opinion about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a new CBS News poll finds, even after more than a year of debate over the health care reform bill that put them squarely in the public eye.
Yet those who do have an opinion of the Democratic Congressional leaders don't seem to have a very good one: Pelosi and Reid are viewed unfavorably by roughly three times as many people as they are viewed favorably.
Pelosi's favorable rating in the poll stands at 11 percent. Her unfavorable rating, meanwhile, is 37 percent -- meaning that more than one in three views the California Democrat negatively.
More than half of those surveyed say they are either undecided about Pelosi or haven't heard enough to make a decision."

In American political rhetoric, 'voodoo' functions as a synonym for 'fraudulent,' going back to George Bush’s description of supply-side economics. Would any public figure dare use 'Baptist' or 'Hindu' or 'Hasidic' in the same way?

Freedman also lamented this religion’s mistreatment at the hands of Hollywood movie executives (not a normal complaint from the Times if the movies are raucously caricaturing Christianity)"
