The Closing of the Muslim Mind

The book you must read to understand the


Islamist crisis—and the threat to us all










Robert R. Reilly’s eye-opening book masterfully explains the frightening behavior coming out of the Islamic world. Terrorism, he shows, is only one manifestation of the spiritual pathology of Islamism.



Reilly uncovers the root of our contemporary crisis: a pivotal struggle waged within the Muslim world nearly a millennium ago. In a heated battle over the role of reason, the side of irrationality won. The deformed theology that resulted, Reilly reveals, produced the spiritual pathology of Islamism, and a deeply dysfunctional culture.







The Closing of the Muslim Mind solves such puzzles as:


· why the Arab world stands near the bottom of every measure of human development

· why scientific inquiry is nearly dead in the Islamic world

· why Spain translates more books in a single year than the entire Arab world has in the past thousand years

· why some people in Saudi Arabia still refuse to believe man has been to the moon

Delving deeper than previous polemics and simplistic analyses, The Closing of the Muslim Mind provides the answers the West has so desperately needed in confronting the Islamist crisis.
















The Closing of the Muslim Mind: How Intellectual Suicide Created the Modern Islamist


Any experience with this book, any comments /feedback ?

The Grand Jihad

Recommend by Glenn Beck today. I was just watching the Glen Beck show and he talked briefly withe the author Andrew  McCarthy.
This show was on the day that Murbaruk resigns as president of Egypt.  Interesting that he said he would put his money on the Muslim Brotherhood will be in power after the political dust settles.


I startingd to see Glenn Beck as a "Paul Revere" of our times.  His predictions are amazing. I have stopped watched any of the left mainstream media for my news.


The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America
 


The real threat to the United States is not terrorism. The real threat is Islamism, whose sophisticated forces have collaborated with the American Left not only to undermine U.S. national security but also to shred the fabric of American constitutional democracy—freedom and individual liberty. In The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, bestselling author Andrew C. McCarthy offers a harrowing account of how the global Islamist movement’s jihad involves far more than terrorist attacks, and how it has found the ideal partner in President Barack Obama, whose Islamist sympathies run deep.

For years, McCarthy warned of America’s blindness to the Islamist threat, but in The Grand Jihad McCarthy exposes a new, more insidious peril: the government’s active appeasement of the Islamist ideology. With the help of witting and unwitting accomplices in and out of government, Islamism doesn’t merely fuel terrorism but spawns America-hating Islamic enclaves in our very midst, gradually foisting Islam’s repressive law, sharia, on American life.

The revolutionary doctrine has made common cause with an ascendant Left that also seeks radical transformation of our constitutional order. The prognosis for liberty could not be more dire.

Glenn Beck as a Paul Revere

Watching the daily Glenn Beck show, its seems to me that Glenn Beck may be 2011's Paul Revere.

I never heard the word caliphate, while researching the caliphate in Muslim history it does have call for a new empire based on the teaching of Islam.


Just heard Donald Rumsfield use the word and talk about the caliphate with Egypt at its center, little scary. I know that Rumfield was promoting his new book, but I hope he adds the word caliphate to the vocabuary of Americans.



Time will tell.

Newt Gingrich wants to replace the EPA

AP Interview: Gingrich calls for replacing EPA


DES MOINES, Iowa – Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called Tuesday for the elimination of the Environmental Protection Agency, which he wants to replace with a new organization that would work more closely with businesses and be more aggressive in using science and technology.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Gingrich said the EPA was rarely innovative and focused only on issuing regulations and litigation.

"What you have is a very expensive bureaucracy that across the board makes it harder to solve problems, slows down the development of new innovations," Gingrich said.

Gingrich, who has acknowledged that he's mulling a run for the Republican presidential nomination, was in Iowa to talk to the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association. He also met privately with Republican legislators, often a sign in Iowa that people are laying the groundwork for a campaign. The state has the nation's first presidential caucuses.

Gingrich, who has made several visits to Iowa recently, said the EPA was founded on sound ideas but has become a traditional Washington bureaucracy. Gingrich had previously mentioned his desire to change the EPA, but Tuesday's explanation was the first time he made a specific proposal for replacing the agency, Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond said.

"We need to have an agency that is first of all limited, but cooperates with the 50 states," Gingrich said. "The EPA is based on bureaucrats centered in Washington issuing regulations and litigation and basically opposing things."

EPA spokesman Brenden Gilfillan in Washington declined to comment on Gingrich's statements.

Gingrich denied his proposal would result in environmental damage, saying he would replace the EPA with what he called the Environmental Solution Agency.

"I think you have an agency which would get up every morning, very much like the National Institutes for Health or the National Science Foundation, and try to figure out what do we need to do today to get a better environment that also gets us a better economy," he said.

Gingrich also said his proposed agency would pursue the development of a clean coal and rewrite regulations governing the development of small nuclear plants.

"There's a whole new emerging technology that allows you to build smaller nuclear plants, but all of our rules were designed for very complex, very expensive systems," he said.

Gingrich's anti-Washington, pro-business theme was designed to appeal to the conservatives who dominate Republican precinct caucuses, which traditionally launch the presidential nominating process. Iowa's next presidential caucus is Feb. 6, 2012.

"The level of control that Washington bureaucrats want to extend over topics they don't understand and communities they don't live in is wrong," he said. "Having an attitude of getting up every morning and trying to stop the economy is just a very destructive attitude."

Boeing drops the ball again on SBInet for border security

Boeing drops the ball again on SBInet for border security


Boeing’s SBInet was supposed to be the ultimate in anti-illegal immigrant technology: miles of surveillance-radar towers (colloquially, “Cameras on a Pole”) hooked up to ground-based sensors that detected the heat of someone’s footprints or the metal of a border-crossing vehicle. Sound impractical? That’s what the GAO Government Accountability Office found in October, when it lamented SBInet’s “well-chronicled history of not delivering promised capabilities and benefits on time and within budget.”


It only took nearly a year of hiatus and $1 billion in sunk costs, but the Department of Homeland Security has finally gotten rid of the networked suite of sensors that made up its virtual border fence. But some of its technology may live on as zombie border protection.


The virtual fence “cannot meet its original objective of providing a single, integrated border-security technology solution,” Secretary Janet Napolitano conceded in a statement today heralding the program’s termination.

1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance

1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance




In his earlier book, 1421: The Year China Discovered America (2002), Menzies, a former British Royal Navy submarine commander, asserted that a mighty Chinese fleet commanded by the eunuch Zheng visited North America. The book generated considerable interest and a cult following among laymen, but professional historians in both China and the West largely dismissed his claims. Now Menzies, still the provocateur, insists that a Chinese fleet visited Italy and imparted the wisdom of the highly advanced Chinese civilization, thus sparking the explosion of scientific inquiry and creativity during the Renaissance. As scholarly history, this work is weak. Menzies takes fragmentary evidence and blows it up into “without a doubt” conclusions. Still, as a combination of nautical tall tale and historical speculation, this is a fun book. Menzies knows how to spin a yarn and does so in the manner of a good detective story. This isn’t serious history, but many will find it an enjoyable read. --Jay Freeman

Atlas Shrugged

I have seen this book on Stossel and Glenn Beck show. They both speak very highly of this book, still a best seller after decades,

















At last, Ayn Rand's masterpiece is available to her millions of loyal readers in trade paperback.


With this acclaimed work and its immortal query, "Who is John Galt?", Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers.

Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of man's spirit.

* Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club

why the left is crying political foul in Tucson Arizona shooting ?

why the left is crying political foul in Tucson shooting

It seems the left and the left winged media is crying crying foul in
the bizarre shooting in Tucson. This Jared Lee Loughner character was a registered independent, only voted once in 2008, did not vote at all in 2010. To claim he was a politically motivated shooter doesn't fit his profile.

On Monday the press discovered a tent in the backyard with a little altar with marijuana under a skull, where was his parents ?  I think any parent would have talked to their kid or seek some professional help.

He was kicked out of the Pima Community College, a junior college in Tucson, and asked to return only with a medical note regarding his mental wellness. Should someone picked up the ball here? His family/ school management?

It seems the left is whining after losing the election big in November and are still looking for someone to blame. This smells like a "never let a crisis go to waste" moment for the lefties.

In my opinion this was just a apolitical nut, in a population of over 320 million, who stepped over the line, like the Virginia Tech shooter, Columbine shooter.

The Home Depot mocks marriage ? a national boycott

The Home Depot  mocks marriage ?  a national boycott


The Home Depot and the mockery of marriage (video proof included)


Video of gay "marriage" ceremony endorsed by The Home Depot included below

November 15, 2010

Last month, The Home Depot gave a corporate boost to homosexual "marriage" by paying for its promotion during the 2010 Atlanta Gay Pride Festival.

The Home Depot paid to print thousands of colored brochures with a schedule and map of hundreds of gay pride activities and booths.

The brochure prominently featured the promotion for a gay marriage "Commitment Ceremony" at the event.

AFA took video at the ceremony and provides these photos as proof that The Home Depot advocates mocking traditional marriage as only between one man and one woman.


See AFA's video of the gay "marriage" ceremony promoted by The Home Depot.

Over 300,000 have signed the pledge to boycott The Home Depot until it agrees to remain neutral in the culture war and stops its financial support of homosexual activist groups.



TAKE ACTION



1. If you have not done so, sign the Boycott Pledge at BoycottTheHomeDepot.com.

2. Call your local store manager. Let the manager know that you will not be shopping at The Home Depot until the company stops supporting the homosexual agenda. You can find the number here. (click "Store Finder").

3. Print the paper petition and distribute it at Sunday school and church.

who is the American Family Association (AFA) ?

WHO IS AFA?


American Family Association (AFA) a non-profit 501(c3) organization was founded in 1977 by Donald E. Wildmon, who was pastoring First United Methodist Church in Southaven, Mississippi, at the time. Click here for an article entitled "Special AFA Anniversary Extra". For 32 years, Wildmon has been on the frontlines of America’s culture war. See article "Courageous crusader, single-minded servant, humble hero". The original name of the ministry was National Federation for Decency but was changed to American Family Association (AFA) in 1988.

Today, AFA is one of the largest and most effective pro-family organizations in the country with over two million online supporters and approximately 180,000 paid subscribers to the AFA Journal, the ministry's monthly magazine. In addition, AFA owns and operates nearly 200 radio stations across the country under the American Family Radio (AFR) banner.



Other divisions of AFA include OneNewsNow.com, an online news provider that is syndicated around the world. AFA maintains activist web sites such as OneMillionMoms.com and OneMillionDads.com that rally Christian activists to contact companies asking them to drop their advertising from objectionable TV shows. AFA web sites average over 40 million hits and five million visitors each month.

AFA uses all these means to communicate an outspoken, resolute, Christian voice throughout America.

OUR MISSION

The American Family Association exists to motivate and equip individuals to restore American culture to its moral foundations.

DECENCY & MORALITY

AFA works to promote decency and morals in American culture,

1. to restrain evil by exposing the works of darkness and to promote virtue by upholding that in culture which is right, true and good;

2. to convince men of sin and drive them to Christ=s grace and forgiveness; and to

3. to guide and encourage Christians to live-out the new holy identity that is theirs as citizens of Christ=s kingdom.



THE FAMILY

AFA works to strengthen families, to protect families from government intrusion, and to preserve the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of a husband and wife.



RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

AFA defends the rights of conscience and religious liberty from infringement by government and from subjugation in popular culture.



SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE

AFA upholds the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death, against abortion, experimentation that is not for the benefit of the subject, euthanasia, destruction of cloned embryos, and interspecies cloning.





To that end, AFA spurs activism directed to:



* Preservation of Marriage and the Family

* Decency and Morality

* Sanctity of Human Life

* Stewardship

* Media Integrity



AFA is also on the cutting edge of media technology. In mid-2009, AFA became one of the first Christian ministries to employ Internet television by launching two channels, the AFA Channel and Home School Channel, in conjunction with Sky Angel IPTV, a global Christian-based Internet television service. Both channels broadcast wholesome and/or educational programming with a decidedly Biblical worldview. Several months earlier, AFA launched AFRTalk – daily 24-hour radio and television programming comprised of one-to-two hour segments – hosted by professional broadcasters whose mission is to inform and engage viewers on issues important to Christians and families. In addition, AFA also communicates through several web sites, keeps supporters informed through timely action alerts, and broadcasts music and inspirational programming through its nearly 200 station radio network. It also provides daily news through OneNewsNow.com, AFA Report, and the AFA Journal.



We believe in holding accountable companies that sponsor programs attacking traditional family values. We also believe in commending those companies that act responsibly regarding programs they support.



It is AFA’s goal to be a champion of Christian activism. If you are alarmed by the increasing ungodliness and depravity assaulting our nation, tired of cursing the darkness, and ready to light a bonfire, please join us. Do it for your children and grandchildren.



AFA STATEMENT OF FAITH

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.



2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.



3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.



4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.



5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.



6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.



7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.



OUR VOICE

The impact of AFA on pro-family issues is recognized nationwide. AFA spokespersons have appeared on programs such as ABC's Good Morning America, World News Tonight, and Nightline; Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity & Colmes, and Fox News Live; NBC's Today Show and Meet the Press; MSNBC's Deborah Norville Tonight and Countdown with Keith Olbermann; CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, Anderson Cooper 360, Wolf Blitzer Reports, Talk Back Live, American Morning, and Crossfire; CBN's The 700 Club; TBN's Praise the Lord; INSP's Inspiration Today; and the BBC.



AFA spokespersons have been quoted in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The Washington Times, Chicago Tribune, Mediaweek, Advertising Age, TIME, Newsweek, WORLD, Christianity Today, and numerous other media outlets. They also are frequent guests on national and international radio programs including the BBC, National Public Radio (NPR), and Voice of America.



Advertising Age listed Donald Wildmon in its December 2004 "Book of Tens" as one of the top "10 Who Made a Mark on Marketing." He was named among other high-profile figures such as Karl Rove, Mel Gibson, and Mark Burnett. Advertising Age, Crain's international newspaper of marketing, serves as a widely recognized source for the latest information to over 198,000 advertising, marketing, and media professionals.



HAS AFA MADE AN IMPACT?

AFA is a long-time member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. In 2008, the AFA received a second consecutive four-star rating from Charity Navigator (CN), an independent watchdog organization which monitors nonprofit groups. Click here to see article.



Highlights of AFA’s recent accomplishments include:



2009



● AFA began video-streaming AFRTalk live over the Internet.



● AFA became one of the first Christian ministries to employ Internet television by launching two channels, the AFA Channel and the Home School Channel, in conjunction with Sky Angel IPTV, a global Christian-based Internet television service. Both channels broadcast wholesome and/or educational programming with a decidedly Biblical worldview.



● AFA used its formidable Internet presence to promote Tax Day (April 15) TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party rallies in over 1,000 cities across America.



2008



● In response to Proposition 8, the California referendum that would amend the state’s constitution to protect marriage as being only between a man and a woman, AFA produced a 30-minute documentary supporting the ballot measure and distributed it at no cost to 21,000 churches in California. The video was written and produced by AFA staffers for a small fraction of typical production costs. The video proved to be a valuable tool in the passage of Proposition 8.



● AFA helped produce video documentaries explaining complex and long-standing issues such as the growing anti-Christian bias in America and the push by homosexual activists for the legalization of same-sex marriage. Partnering with The Inspiration Networks (INSP), AFA helped produce a 14-part documentary series titled Speechless … Silencing the Christians. The TV series, also available on DVD, exposes the ugly reality of bias against Christians and urges believers to speak out and put an end to the silencing.



● On the night of the presidential election, for the first time, AFA provided live Internet streaming video news coverage of the national election results. This effort brought together people, resources and technologies from the American Family Radio Network, AFA Journal, and OneNewsNow.com. Programs and newscasts on American Family Radio, AFA’s 200-station national radio network, are now streamed on the Internet at OneNewsNow.com.



● The number of new activists responding to AFA online “Action Alerts” has multiplied exponentially. Currently over two million people can immediately share their opinions with policymakers and corporations simply by responding to one of the online action-focused initiatives.



● AFA won boycott victories over Ford Motor Company and McDonald’s. Both companies backed out of their promotion of the homosexual agenda, in part due to the flood of responses from AFA activists.



2007



● American Family News, AFA’s news and information service, launched OneNewsNow.com (ONN). The Internet news site has become a trusted place where concerned citizens from all over the world can go to get the day’s latest headlines, particularly concerning issues of special interest to Christians. The new site was introduced to the public in January. Nine months later, ONN had over two million visitors in October alone.



● In a combined effort between American Family Radio (AFR) and our new media departments, an online-only 24/7 talk radio station was launched in September. AFRTalk is a unique combination of talk programs that are relevant to families and that address important issues from a decidedly Christian point of view.



● An AFA video production in response to the Virginia Tech shootings attracted 1.3 million views on Youtube.com. Nearly 500 million e-mails calling for action on various issues were transmitted to supporters. A Webcast (video on the Internet) of the values voter debate between several Republican presidential candidates attracted over 200,000 viewers.



● AFR launched three new radio stations in Texas and one each in New Mexico, Louisiana, Virginia, Mississippi and South Carolina. The broadcasting power of two other stations was upgraded.



● AFR listeners pledged their prayer support, and 148 of them became World Vision child sponsors. The ministries of Global Outreach and Gospel for Asia, both mission agencies, were also highlighted. Ongoing public service campaigns featured the work of well-known Christian ministries including Way of the Master, TransWorld Radio, Crown Financial and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. On two occasions AFR worked with 8 Days of Hope, a relief ministry helping to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.



● The AFA Journal continued to serve as the most thorough expression of AFA’s positions on a wide variety of issues of interest to American families. A full-text version of the monthly Journal was made available at www.afajournal.org.



Typical of the growing symbiosis between the various divisions of AFA, two AFA Journal staff members are regular panelists on AFA Report, a daily issues-oriented roundtable discussion that broadcasts on our radio network and on AFRTalk.



● Encouraging citizen activism remained at the heart of AFA’s mission. In 2007, Ford Motor Company sales continued to decline in part due to AFA’s ongoing national boycott over the company’s support of the homosexual agenda.



● AFA supporters responded to a significant number of online “Action Alerts” that led to victories in the culture war which curbed anti-Christian bias and impacted national and state debates over core moral issues.



2006



● Increased revenue from underwriting allowed the AFA Journal to enhance the design and produce a more reader-friendly publication, and at the same time maintain the hard-edge coverage of news and issues for AFA’s activist partners.



● The Journal made a concerted effort to increase coverage of positive media entertainment projects, e.g. full reviews of theater releases such as Facing the Giants and The Nativity Story. In addition, the AFA Journal carried numerous interviews with principal players in new family-friendly entertainment.



● News editor Ed Vitagliano was awarded first place in magazine writing at the Southern Christian Writers Conference. Editor Randall Murphree received honorable mention in the same venue, and Vitagliano earned a fourth place award at the national Evangelical Press Association.



● In April and September, AFR partnered with Compassion International to encourage listeners to help meet the needs of children in Third World countries. Approximately 1,500 new child sponsors were added, bringing the total to over 5,000 sponsorships through efforts of AFR and making the network the leading radio partner for Compassion International.



● From May 28 to June 3, AFR participated in Eight Days of Hope. Over 1,500 volunteers from around the country gathered on the Mississippi Gulf Coast to assist with the restoration of homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. According to Steve Tybor, the overwhelming majority of these volunteers were there because they listened to AFR.



● On August 17, AFR partnered with Free Wheelchair Mission to raise funds to provide wheelchairs for impoverished and disabled people in Third World countries. Our goal was to raise enough to buy and ship 1,500 wheelchairs. We met the goal in the first 3 hours of the 12-hour broadcast. At the end of the day, over 5,000 wheelchairs had been purchased!



● Also in August, AFR partnered with Tim Todd Ministries, Truth for Youth Project, to place Bibles in the hands of junior and senior high school students. Over 50,000 Bibles were distributed for that purpose. This is our fourth year to participate in a Truth for Youth campaign. In that time approximately 200,000 Bibles have been placed.



● The radio news team began work on developing closer relations with Christian news agencies around the world in order to expand AFR coverage of international issues of importance to Christians.



● AFA’s online news service was recognized by Alexa, a Web information company, as the second most popular Christian news site on the Internet. AgapePress, (now known as Onenewsnow.com) consistently drew over 50,000 visitors per day to its online stories.



● For the first time since its founding in 2000, several secular newspapers became regular subscribers to OneNewsNow.com.



● AFA Center for Law & Policy, closed in 2007, won an unusual victory in an anti-pornography case that required the owner of a nude bar to pay court-ordered attorneys’ fees to the CLP.



● AFA won a potentially far-reaching victory in federal court for a client to share his Christian faith on public highways and streets in Detroit, Michigan. He had been arrested for doing so during the 2006 Super Bowl in Detroit.



● AFA successfully defended numerous prolife advocates who had been charged for peacefully protesting against abortion in Waco, Texas. AFA then sued the city in federal court for violating the pro-lifers’ constitutional rights, winning the case and attorneys’ fees.



● AFA efforts caused NBC to cancel the anti-Christian show called The Book of Daniel.



● In January, AFA asked supporters to file formal complaints with the FCC against CBS and its affiliate stations for broadcasting Without A Trace which contained an extended teenage orgy scene. Within days, 165,997 AFA online supporters had filed formal complaints with the FCC. As a result, FCC announced fines on 111 CBS stations.



● AFA distributed tens of thousands of videos that refuted the claims of the heretical contents of the popular movie The DaVinci Code.



● Because of the efforts by AFA supporters, the National Education Association dropped their proposal to endorse homosexual marriage.



● AFA was one of the leading organizations that helped save the historic cross featured at the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial in San Diego, which was under attack by atheists.



● Due directly to the efforts of AFA, NBC was forced to cancel a scene in the Madonna concert special in which she mocked the crucifixion of Christ. More than 750,000 AFA supporters emailed NBC asking for the scene to be deleted from the special which aired in November.

did Congress not hear the message in November?

did Congress not hear the message in November?

I am stumped why the senate and house continue their old ways of negotiating.

For example the  current Tax cut bill, take it as one topic, yet earmarks, not related items/ off topic are being added to the bill daily.  The argument given is that how they get support for the "tax cut" bill.

I truly believe this "off topic" bartering is how we got in this fiscal mess and congress has eroded to satisfying special interests not the big picture.

Why do you subsidy ethanol with $5 Billion per year from the Treasury ?

Why do you subsidy ethanol with $5 Billion per year from the Treasury

With basic food prices rising, we want cheaper grain  food products, not some some expensive additive for gasoline.  Putting ethanol in your gas tank in effect drives up food prices.

Among the energy tax provisions added was an extension of the current 45-cent per gallon subsidy for ethanol, at a cost to the Treasury estimated at nearly $5 billion. The issue is of particular interest to lawmakers from Midwestern states with grain crops.

who is Dietrich Bonhoeffer ?  seems Glenn Beck is a great fan of his



















Just watching the Glenn Beck show today and this Dietrich Bonhoeffer is another one of Glenn's discoveries.  He was a pastor in Germany when Hilter started his rise to power. He tried to rally and inform fellow pastors / priests against Hilter and his ideals.  THis looks like a very serious read.

reviews quoted at Amazon


''In Hitler's Germany, a Lutheran pastor chooses resistance and pays with his life.   Eric Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer's story with passion and theological sophistication, often challenging revisionist accounts that make Bonhoeffer out to be a 'humanist' or ethicist for whom religious doctrine was easily disposable. . . Metaxas reminds us that there are forms of religion -- respectable, domesticated, timid -- that may end up doing the devil's work for him.  WSJ

''In this weighty, riveting analysis of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Metaxas offers a comprehensive review of one of history's darkest eras, along with a fascinating exploration of the familial, cultural, and religious influences that formed one of the world's greatest contemporary theologians. A passionate narrative voice combines with meticulous research.  Abundant source documentation brings to life the personalities and experiences that shaped Bonhoeffer. Insightful and illuminating, this tome makes a powerful contribution to biography, history, and theology.'' Publishers Weekly

''A welcome new biography of one of the twentieth century's leading lights. Metaxas magnificently captures the life of theologian and anti-Nazi activist Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), who 'thought it the plain duty of the Christian-and the privilege and honor-to suffer with those who suffered.' In the finest treatment of the man since Eberhard Bethge's Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Man of Vision, Man of Courage (1970), Metaxas presents a complete, accessible picture of this important figure, whose story is inspiring, instructive, and international in scope. . . Metaxas rightly focuses on his subject's life, not his theology, though readers will learn plenty about his theology as well. The author makes liberal use of primary sources, which bring Bonhoeffer and other characters to vivid life. For the most part, Metaxas allows this epic story to play itself out, unhindered by commentary; where he does add his own voice, the conclusions are sage.
 
A definitive Bonhoeffer biography for the twenty-first century.'' --Kirkus Reviews

Inside Job: documentary on the global financial crisis

Inside Job movie review and trailer
Superb documentary on the global financial crisis of 2008

This Thanksgiving, Americans can be thankful they do not live in a country whose larcenous financial sector has impoverished millions while its feckless government shovels more money at the culprits and its bought-off academics cheer.


As Charles Ferguson's superb documentary "Inside Job" makes clear, Americans can be thankful if they've still got their health, because their financial well-being has been stolen.

Now in limited release in New Jersey after openings in New York and Philadelphia, "Inside Job" is the year's most assured bit of film-making, also the most useful. Although essentially a movie of talking heads and lots of charts, "Inside Job" never looks or sounds dull.

Why the Food Safety Bill isn't really safe

Why the Food Safety Bill isn't really safe

By Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)

The Food Safety Bill (S. 510) started out with the best intentions, to make our food supply safer. Unfortunately, even with the best intentions many in Congress will use any excuse to grow government and spend recklessly.

As a conservative on the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee I initially supported the Food Safety bill. At the time, I was clear that the bill needed significant improvements and if it did not continue to improve that I would stop supporting the bill. I hoped to use my cosponsorship to steer this legislation away from the big government expansion that I feared it would become. I made it clear that if there was a huge price tag to taxpayers that I would not support the bill.

That’s regrettably what happened. After the bill was approved by the committee, the legislation did not improve. It expands the federal workforce by the thousands. The federal workforce should be capped, which is why I introduced legislation this year to do exactly that. In addition this bill has a price tag of $1.5 billion, we simply cannot afford that. We need to balance the budget not continue to spend. Because of these concerns, I have voted against this legislation not once, but twice.

see the complete comments by Senator Orrin Hatch at the Glenn Beck website


I will continue to oppose this bill. We need to return to the principles that make our country great: a limited federal government and balancing our federal budget by cutting spending.

Trent Lott / Tom Daschle having a profitable $$$ lunch?


where they really lobbying for their own pocketbook? whose payroll are they on now ?

Anybody tracking the money ?




Washington (CNN) -- When Republican Trent Lott sat down for lunch with Democrat Tom Daschle on Monday afternoon, mere hours before voters shellacked President Obama and his party in the midterm elections, it was more than just two former Senate gladiators getting together to reminisce about old times

Despite their many differences over the years, Lott and Daschle managed to find a way to work together during the bruising days of the Clinton and Bush administrations, where everything from impeachment to Iraq caused deep divisions between the parties.

"He and I are whispering back and forth," Lott told me of his conversations with Daschle.

The two still keep in close touch and are now working back channels to try to get Obama and incoming House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to see that a divided government does not have to mean that the government comes to a screeching halt.

"Tom and I went through this situation on both sides," said Lott, who was the Senate majority leader while Daschle was minority leader. "We've been through three different iterations of circumstances where we found a way to get things done."

how much does Michael Chertoff make for promoting RapidScan body scanners?

Glenn Beck highlighted the fact that Michael Chertoff has a financial stake that sells these scanners. Beck also mentioned that George Soros had a interest in the company that sells these scanners Rapiscan Systems, Inc.
This may have been one of the topics that George discussed in his 4 White House for Obama visits.


Chertoff Argues for Whole Body Scanners


Former HSA Secretary Michael Chertoff has jumped into the fray over whether to use full body scanners with an op-ed in the Washington Post. He urges that Congress fund "a large-scale deployment of next-generation systems."

Most airport security checkpoints use metal detectors. Al-Qaeda has shown that it knows how to avoid detection by using an explosive device that contains little or no metal, such as PETN, or pentaerythritol tetranitrate, used by Abdulmutallab and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid in 2001.

It will only be a matter of time before terrorists figured out how to avoid detection with these machines as well. One reason: The Government's publicly available list of which machines have been purchased for airport use. Each one carriesthe name of the company that makes them, and the company's website has all the particulars about the machine, including in some cases, what a particular machine doesn't screen.

Alternatively, by searching various scanners' web pages, which anyone can find using google, they will see which ones are Government certified. For example, the Rapiscan WaveScan 200, advertises that "the WaveScan 200 millimeter wave sensors do not image anatomical details, thus protecting privacy."

How much of a leap is it from that advisement to figuring out hiding explosives in one's crotch will not be detected?

I can't tell if TSA is using the Rapidscan 200 yet, but it has been using the RapidScan 1000, whose web page contains this notice:

Certifications

The United States Department of Homeland Security has certified the Rapiscan Secure 1000 as an approved product for homeland security. Please visit www.safetyact.gov for more information.

If you go to Safetyact.gov, you'll find all sorts of helpful information, such as this list of approved HSA airport equipment:

The following "Approved Product List for Homeland Security" is provided pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 442(d)(3) (the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002, or “SAFETY Act”) and 6 C.F.R. § 25.7(j) (2004) (Regulations to Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies):

You can then peruse the list and find, for example,

Rapiscan Systems, Inc.: Secure 1000
December 18, 2006 – Rapiscan Systems, Inc., provides the Secure 1000®, a non-intrusive personnel screening system designed to detect both metallic and nonmetallic objects (such as ceramic, plastic, metallic, and organic matter, including liquid and solid explosives) concealed under a person's clothing. This Designation and Certification will expire on December 31, 2011.

The Five Thousand Year Leap: 30 Year Anniversary Edition with Glenn Beck Foreword

Glenn Beck breaks the biggest corruption story of the century

Scandal: Obama, Gore, Goldman, Joyce Foundation CCX partners to fleece USA
April 10 2010

Glenn Beck breaks the biggest corruption story of the century yesterday and it doesn’t appear on a Front Page anywhere. Beck points the way to the 15 Trillion dollar scam that has some amazing players.

First Glenn makes and astute point: If Goldman is really the bad guy, why are these people still on the job? The Goldman suit is a put up job!
• William C. Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; was a partner and managing director at Goldman
• Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; spent 18 years at Goldman
• Mark Patterson, chief of staff to Tim Geithner; former Goldman lobbyist
• Philip Murphy; nominated for ambassador to Germany; former Goldman executive
• Diana Farrell; deputy director of the National Economic Council; formerly with Goldman
• Emil Michael; White House fellow; former investment banker with Goldman

Glenn tells us that a watchdog has steered him to the collusion between Barrack Obama, George Soros, Al Gore, Goldman Sachs, Franklin Raines (super crooked Fannie Mae head), CCX, and Generation Investment Management (GIM-London based co-founded by AL Gore).

Know the crooks and their roles:
George Soros, Joyce Foundation and connection to CCX.

What is CCX, the Chicago Climate Exchange, projected to gross 10 Trillion a year is Cap-N-Tax passes. Obama played a pivotal role in the formation of the CCX. (Click here for expose)

Barrack Hussein Obama, Board Member of the Joyce Foundation, funded the formation of the CCX. (Valerie Jarrett is still on the board, Obama’s top adviser.) Obama sat on board and funneled money to Ayer’s brother (wild huh, just a guy in his neighborhood) and to form the CCX.

AL Gore--Goldman Sachs-- GIM: Hold on to your britches, London-based Generation Investment Management sees the Trillion and they purchased a huge stake in Chicago Climate Exchange (fifth largest shareholder.) The founder of GIM is none other than former Vice President Al Gore along with Goldman people. For example other founders are David Blood (former Goldman executive), Mark Ferguson (Goldman) and Peter Harris (Goldman) to name a few. “

Franklin Raines, mega crooked banker and bust Fannie Mae head, uses Fannie Mae (taxpayers money) to buy the technology to measure and manage carbon. The patent was award the day after Obama and Dems won the election.

A Face in the Crowd

Glenn Beck has been spending a lot of time talking up his expose on George Soros which began today and it did not disappoint. Nothing that begins with the dramatic lines “83 years ago, George Soros was born. Little did the world know, then, that economy’s would collapse, currencies would become worthless, elections would be stolen, regimes would fall, and one billionaire would find himself, coincidentally, at the center of it all” ever could. But, at the end of today’s long Soros biography, Beck revealed an interesting anecdote: Soros once sent him a present, a copy of A Face in the Crowd on DVD.

Editorial Reviews / Amazon.com essential video

More timely now, perhaps, than when it was first released in 1957, Elia Kazan's overheated political melodrama explores the dangerous manipulative power of pop culture. It exposes the underside of Capra-corn populism, as exemplified in the optimistic fable of grassroots punditry Meet John Doe.

In Kazan's account, scripted by Budd Schulberg, the common-man pontificator (Andy Griffith) is no Gary Cooper-style aw-shucks paragon. Promoted to national fame as a folksy TV idol by radio producer Patricia Neal, Griffith's Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes turns out to be a megalomaniacal rat bastard. The film turns apocalyptic as Rhodes exploits his power to sway the masses, helping to elect a reactionary presidential candidate. The parodies of television commercials and opinion polling were cutting edge in their day (Face in the Crowd was the Network of the Eisenhower era), and there are some startling, near-documentary sequences shot on location in Arkansas. An extraordinary supporting cast (led by Walter Matthau and Lee Remick) helps keep the energy level high, even when the satire turns shrill and unpersuasive in the final reel. There's an interesting parallel in Tim Robbins's snide pseudodocumentary Bob Roberts: both these pictures have almost as much contempt for the lemmings in the audience as for the manipulative monsters who herd them over the cliff. by David Chute

Lou Dobbs is back on FOX business network for 2011

Lou Dobbs is back now on FOX business network


Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Lou Dobbs, the former CNN anchor who quit last November after 27 years with the cable-news network, is joining News Corp.’s Fox Business Network to start his own show.




Dobbs, 65, will develop and host a daily show that will start in the first quarter, New York-based Fox Business said today in a statement. He will also provide analysis and commentary across the network’s programs, as part of the multiyear agreement.



At CNN, Dobbs drew controversy for his coverage of illegal immigrants and questioning of President Barack Obama’s citizenship. His ratings declined after the 2008 presidential race and he announced his departure from the Time Warner Inc. 24-hour news channel almost exactly a year ago. In its last years, “Lou Dobbs Tonight” had focused less on business and more on the economic impact of trade, immigration and the loss of middle-class jobs in the U.S.



When he quit, Dobbs vowed to work to change the way these issues had become defined by “partisanship and ideology rather than by rigorous, empirical thought and forthright analysis and discussion.”

The Shadow Party: info on shadow goverment as mentioned by Glenn Beck

America is under attack. Its institutions and values are under daily assault. But the principal culprits are not foreign terrorists. They are influential and powerful Americans secretly stirring up disunion and disloyalty in the shifting shadows of the Democratic Party. New York Times best-selling authors David Horowitz and Richard Poe (both former radicals) weave together riveting history, investigative reporting, and cutting political analysis to help expose and explain:




The Shadow Party's plan to rewrite the US Constitution.

How the Shadow Party overthrows foreign governments--and why it may attempt to use the same methods here.

The vast network of private think tanks, foundations, unions, stealth PACs, and other front groups through which the Shadow Party operates in America.

The network's voluminous contributions to the Democrats, which totaled more than $300 million in the 2004 elections, and its growing influence over the party's message and policy.

The politicians on both sides of the aisle who have exchanged political favors with George Soros and his "government-in-the-wings."

Glenn Beck extends another invite to George  Soros

just sitting watching the  Glenn Beck  show today on Fox tv, where the theme was George Soros as a puppet master trying to control and sharp the global economy as he wants it.
I am shocked that one person like George Soros has this much ambition to control  and influence the world for his own personal profits.

One ideal that stood out was George Soros is now targeting the United States, this is scary to me.


Glenn Beck does his usual background info on the subject , offering sources for all the materials used.
It was another excellent and enlightening show. Well worth watching.

God And Man At Yale: 50Th Anniversary Edition

This book was referenced by the Fox news show tracing the conservative
political movement from the depression to present day politics.



This seminal work of one of the most courageous conservative thinkers of the 20th and 21st centuries laid the groundwork on which numerous other media voices built. He describes how it all started when he was an undergraduate at Yale University from 1946-1950. He writes from his conscious. Buckley is precise in describing how he felt traditional American values were being ignored, undermined, and distorted by academics. He makes his case by citing specific classes, instructors, and textbooks. In the revised edition he brings readers up to date on how critics and the public responded when the book originally came out. Buckley earned the right to be the quintessential role model for conservatives because of his courage and gift of clearly communicating his argument in a logical manner. There are no ad hominem fallacies here or in any of his writings. He confronts issues head on. He even discusses his motive for writing the book by saying it is tied to his love for his alma mater and the country in general. By that he means his desire is for constructive change. It is in pointing out the errors that he hopes to achieve the positive resolutions he seeks. Buckley has remained a voice worthy of an audience in the marketplace of ideas for decades. This is the book that launched him and it is worth reading at any point in time.




In 1951, a twenty-five-year old Yale graduate published his first book, which exposed the extraordinarily irresponsible educational attitude that prevailed at his alma mater. This book rocked the academic world and catapulted its young author, William F. Buckley Jr., into the public spotlight.

Backlash against Fed's $600 billion QE2 builds

Backlash against Fed's $600 billion QE2 builds



GLENN: But because of quantitative easing, and let me give you the warning yesterday, from the Chinese, the unbridled printing of dollars is the biggest risk to the global economy. This is according to an advisor of the Chinese Central Bank. He said: Quote as long as the world issues no restraint in global currencies such as the dollar and this is not easy, then the occurrence of the crisis is inevitable as quite a few westerners lament." So what does that mean? Most people don't understand when you read these headlines on the drudge report today. Oil above 87 -- I'm sorry, oil at $87. Backlash builds against Feds pumping. Dollar at risk of crashing, triggering inflation. Brazil ready to retaliate for U.S. move in currency war. Chinese warns Fed move is a huge risk. Germany concerned. Most people don't understand what any of that means. I'm going to be cryptic here, because I cannot tell you the names of the people involved, because I don't have the permission of all of the people involved to tell you this story. But you know me. You know me well enough to know that I'm not talking to -- I'm not talking to fringe players. I am talking to people -- when I have told you things about TARP, when I've told you things, it is because I have enough contacts with people who are not peripheral players but players that have been in these rooms as things have happened. Yesterday I had a conversation with somebody. And I had a conversation with somebody who two weeks ago wouldn't have believed me. And this is a -- help me out here, guys -- this is an individual who.

STU: Very well connected.
GLENN: Very well connected.
PAT: Knows people in financial circles at upper levels.

GLENN: And has a history that you would know, that you would recognize. And is in the know. Is in the game with the highest levels. She came to me and she said to me yesterday that, after the TV show -- and I have been teasing this chart that is being built for tonight's television show, that shows in 15 days, not the next 15 days, in any given 15-day period.

PAT: After some major event.

GLENN: Major event, a 9/11 happens, a big event or China. And this is the event we use. China just says we're not going to buy any more of America's debt. Now, it could be -- the event could be the Congress and the republicans keep to their promise and do not raise the debt ceiling. That's a big enough event to trigger this. From the day that event happens, it will take about 13 days for the world to change as you know it. And when I say that, I mean everything changes. Global catastrophe. Global panic. What I told you three years ago, four years ago was coming, three years ago when it started to happen and they were talking about TARP, was that three years ago? I think it was. Wasn't it?

STU: Two, right?

GLENN: Two years? When that started to happen, I told you we're headed for a mountain and we're going to crash into the mountain. You've got to prepare. What they're trying to do with TARP was take us down into the trees. Well, they have prepared. Again, the question is, have you? What happens? China says we're not going to buy any more bonds. The world freaks. And in the few days, the Fed comes in and they say: We're going to raise rates. We're going to raise the yield on bonds. So you can make a lot of money. Everybody buy bonds. What happens? Europe raises them faster than we do, because as soon as people lose confidence in our bonds, the rest of the world says: Wait a minute, wait a minute, buy us. So they start competing. Pour your money here. Everybody is competing. Gold is competing. Food is competing. Everything is competing for all these dollars that are now no longer going to go into bonds. And so the world gets spooked. And it lasts about a week. Then things just start coming apart at the seams. And Asia starts to crash. The Asian markets crash. The European markets crash. The Dow crashes. I mean, we're talking about serious crashes.

PAT: And this person said that a week ago they wouldn't have believed any of this scenario, right?

GLENN: Listen to my monologue. Listen to me explain it over the last couple of days what quantitative easing means and what it means to your food prices, and then laying out on the board, which I have in the last couple of days, what's coming tonight, I'm going to show you this tonight, I'll show you this 15-day scenario. She said she was in a room and she said there were three speakers there. And these were -- how would you describe these three speakers?

PAT: Heavy weights. Financial heavy weights.

GLENN: Heavy weights. Governmental and outside financial heavy weights.
STU: Non-partisan. Not a partisan group.
GLENN: Yes, people who have been -- people who are viewed as keels, wouldn't you say?
STU: If I knew what you meant by "keels," then yes.
GLENN: An even steady keel of a ship.
STU: Even keel?
GLENN: Yes.
STU: That's what that means. I just knew even keel meant even. I went with the even part of keel.
GLENN: Something that keeps the ship upright. Somebody that's not one side or the other. They're just right down the center.

PAT: Even keeled people.
STU: People paid a lot of money to make sure they're making measured decisions.
GLENN: Very measured. First one gets up and they're having this little breakfast and the first one gets up and says, hey, I want to tell you what I think is coming. She says -- we're all sitting around going: You gotta be kidding me. She said the next person gets up and says -- it's actually a little worse than what he said. She said -- she said now the real guy, who is like rock solid, nobody, everybody in the room was expecting him to get up and say: These guys, I disagree with. Instead he got up and he said: It may not happen that way, but there's a good shot that this stuff happens. And people have to be prepared.

STU: You might expect me to disagree with these two.

GLENN: Yes. But I can't disagree with them. I think there's a chance that this stuff happens. And people must be prepared.

PAT: And this guy said it wasn't inevitable, right? But there's a good shot.

GLENN: I'm not saying it's inevitable either. I'm just saying that these things are growing, growing concerns. What people said about they would never -- they testified a year ago that they would never buy their own debt and they testified under oath. They're doing it in historic records.

PAT: Because these things are possible, this is why you're shining the light on it, not to fear monger, but to get people -- I've always disagreed with the world renowned FDR statement: We have nothing to fear but fear itself. What does that even mean? We have nothing to fear but being unprepared. If you are prepared, you need not fear anything, because you've got something -- you've got a fall-back position.

GLENN: You don't have to worry about -- you don't have to worry about your retirement if you prepared for your retirement.

PAT: Right. What's scary is retiring and you've got nothing. You're looking around thinking I've got Social Security, 900 a month?

GLENN: If you've put nest eggs away and you're not in great debt, because you prepared for the possibility of unemployment, you don't fear unemployment.

PAT: So how do you get prepared in something like this? You get food.

GLENN: You buy food.

PAT: If nothing happens, good.

GLENN: The thing we do know is coming is inflation on food. You'll have deflation in some things and inflation wherever there's a hard commodity. Oil. So that means your tires are going to be more expensive. That means anything made with an oil-based product.

STU: Which is everything.

GLENN: Which is everything, that is going to be more expensive. Gold is going to be more expensive. But wheat, flour, sugar. Sugar has gone up like 58 percent in three months, did you know that.

STU: No. How much?

GLENN: Like 58 percent.

STU: Has it really?

GLENN: But the price of sugar hasn't. The commodity sugar has. So what's happened here is what you're paying for on the shelf has not been passed on to you yet. And all of these producers, they know -- they've been holding on and they're like, okay, I can't -- I'm General Mills, I'm hoping this is going to pass. We'll eat it for a while because, for instance, if we pass on this then it's going to hurt the restaurants and everything else. And the restaurants are going to -- they're going to have to pass it on to their customers. Everybody's been holding on as much as they can because people start to hold onto their money tighter and that makes things worse. General Mills just came out and said, it's, what, a five percent increase in cereal. This is before the quantitative easing. Five percent increase in cereal. Sugar is now going up I think 10, 12, or 18 percent. All of these things are really starting to climb in price. The best case scenario is it's going to be more expensive to buy food and gasoline and oil-based products in the coming months. Tonight I will show you catastrophic collapse and what it means. In 15 days from an event, a 9/11, let's be crazy and let's say somebody sends packages with bombs all around the world and planes fall out of the sky.

STU: That would never happen, come on.

GLENN: I know. A catastrophic event, and how it leads in 15 days to a new world order. This woman said -- she came up to me yesterday and said: A week ago, a week ago I wouldn't have believed you. But I sat in this meeting and these guys said that's what's coming. They think it's a possibility that's really coming. We all sat there with our mouths open. Now, no one will tell you these things because they believe that, oh, well, it's crazy and the people are too stupid, they'll panic. No you won't. You panic when you don't have information. You panic when you can't see what's around the corner.

PAT: You panic when it's too late to do anything about it.

GLENN: Exactly right.

PAT: That's why this is so important.

GLENN: It's not too late to do anything. Because you -- and I've said this to you now for a long time. You must be a leader. You must be a leader, because there will be people that will pull us apart. We must stay together.

The Day After the Dollar Crashes: A Survival Guide for the Rise of the New World Order

Rep Barney Frank is sweating his re election this term ?

You may have read the extraordinary news that Barney Frank felt he had to personally loan his own campaign fund $200,000, adding to the almost $3 million he had raised from fat-cat donors.

This means he’s sweating. He’s worried he could lose. Believe it or not, Barney Frank could lose his seat.

He’s in trouble because he’s the poster child for the mortgage mess and the housing collapse.

Don't forget it was Barney Frank who, as chairman of the Banking Committee in 2007, continued to push for easy mortgage rules — even for people who couldn’t afford them and had no business getting mortgages.

In fact, the evidence shows that Frank prevented oversight and regulation of the mortgage business — setting the stage for the massive economic meltdown we have been living through.

As one of the most powerful Democratic members of Congress, Barney Frank did absolutely nothing to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

This ended in disaster, causing caused misery beyond description.

When Bill O’Reilly grilled him about this on his show, he hemmed and hawed and then he just shouted. But the Barney Frank story gets even worse.

What I am about to tell you is simply astounding.

As chairman of the powerful House Financial Services Committee, Barney Frank was actually in charge of overseeing Wall Street.

After helping create the whole housing and mortgage collapse, then became the architect of the infamous $700 billion Wall Street bailout!

Remember — this was a time that folks like you and I on Main Street got no help at all as our housing values and stock portfolios plummeted and folks all over the country lost their jobs, businesses, and homes.

But now it really gets sick.

I recently discovered who actually is donating to Frank's campaign fund.

Lo and behold, the big donors to Barney Frank’s campaign are from big Wall Street and financial services companies!

Frankly, this isn’t a matter of partisan politics. It’s a matter of honesty.

Barney Frank is running scared because he’s been caught!

Even in liberal Massachusetts Barney Frank is on the ropes. Let’s knock him down for the count.

That’s what Super PAC for America aims to do, funds permitting.

Our powerful TV ads are working!

When we started Super PAC for America, no one was predicting that more than 50 Democrats would lose their seats in Congress. The influential Cook Political Report now predicts 60 or more.

Some Washington insiders are telling me that as many as 75 Democrats could be defeated and that a total of 113 Democrats are vulnerable!

This is like a live auction. Do I hear a bid for 100?

The more you give, the more damaged trees we can chop down.

We’re almost up to the $4 million mark. For each extra $1 million we raise, we can beat seven more Democrats!

I must make additional ad buys for this weekend, the Super Bowl weekend for congressional politics!

Senator Chuck Schumer anxoius to replace Harry Reid

With Harry Reid in serious danger of losing re-election on Tuesday, Democrats are naturally wondering who might replace him as the party's top leader in the Senate should he not return to Washington.

It's no secret that Chuck Schumer desperately wants the job, and today, the New York Times examines the senior New York senator's attempts to quietly position himself as Reid's successor. In perhaps the only time the word "subtly" has ever been used to describe the brash attention-getting Schumer, the Times notes that he has been doing everything he can to help out fellow Dems in need — contributing cash, headlining campaign events — in the hopes that they'll remember him when it comes time to elect party leaders in the next Congress.

There's just one problem: Schumer isn't alone in his leadership ambitions. Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, Reid's current No. 2 and, perhaps most awkwardly, Schumer's D.C. roommate, also has designs on the job (and, as we noted months ago, the support of the White House).
