Iran: Green Hits the Streets
For the Iranian people everything begins on June 12, 2009, with their 10th presidential election since the 1979 Islamic Revolution: the challenge was between the outgoing president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the opposition’s leader, Hossein Moussavi. Their decision today is largely whether to keep hard-line president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power for four more years, or to replace him with a reformist more open to loosening the country's Islamic restrictions and improving ties with the United States. Another candidate, Mehdi Karroubi, is more closely associated with the core causes of the Iranian reformist movement, including the freeing of political prisoners and women’s rights, but, as a former prime minister in the 1980s, Mr. Moussavi is given great credit for having managed Iran’s economy effectively during the war with Iraq.

The illegal alien invasion is more than ("I just want to put food on the table,") illegal aliens wandering across our borders, it is a massive "conspiracy" on America, aided and abetted by our "blinded government" as well. With 15-20+ million illegal aliens camping out in our country, the invasion has now touched every citizen in America.

Obama Needs to Address Domestic Violence
During his presidential campaign, President Obama pledged to make violence against women a priority. He promised to help expand programs and services for victims of domestic violence in the U.S. and abroad and to strengthen criminal laws. Although he is still in the early days of his presidency and is dealing with many serious issues, it is imperative that the public hold Obama accountable for these campaign promises.

Maine's Stimulus Sisters Clueless in DC
I believe it was the late William F. Buckley, Jr. who said he would rather be governed by people whose names had been chosen randomly from the Boston phone directory than by the faculty of Harvard University. In the wake of the bank bailouts and the so-called "stimulus" package that were muscled through Congress without a single public hearing, Bill Buckley's wisdom has been affirmed repeatedly in recent weeks and months.

Freedom to Choose
I find it curious that, when it comes to the "pro-choice" crowd, the choice is actually quite limited. Those offering alternatives to abortion are branded as religious fanatics and even as dangerous. Pregnancy resource centers which provide options other than abortion are labeled as "fake clinics."

Darwin and the Koran
UNESCO proclaimed this year as "The year of Darwin" . This renewed the fight between the so-called Muslims and the so-called scientists, as they suppose Koran and Darwin's "Theory of evolution" are contrary to one another. Actually, Koran states, "We have started all life from water, from a single cell", giving no details and leaving the details to be discovered by science. Koran fully supports science. It says, "Those who know science, understand this book better." There is no conflict between the Koran and the Darwin's "Theory of evolution", they complete one another. Conflict is in the head of those who misunderstand Koran and Darwin.

Richard Viguerie: 'Rushification' is Inevitable Result of GOP Leaders' Incompetence

Resignation Superman
Those who overlook the lessons of history are likely to repeat the mistakes of the past. President Barack Obama seems to be treading the same path on Iran that former President Jimmy Carter was on. That path led to the disastrous circumstances that are still being felt in today's political sphere. Carter's misstep was to turn on a key ally in the region the guise of promoting human rights, thereby assisting in the establishment of the current dictatorship.

Tunnel Vision
ARISH, EGYPT -- As I write, we can hear the dull thud of explosions in the distance. Israeli airstrikes continue to blast targets in southern Gaza. Merciless bombing of the small Gaza Strip continues into a third week. I heard some people here in Egypt wonder if the Israeli Air Force must be running out of places and people to target. But perhaps the surveillance drones we heard and saw flying over the Rafah border crossing today hunted down more spots on which bombers could fix their cross-hairs. Perhaps they spotted underground tunnels. The Israeli government has, reportedly, already destroyed 80% of the tunnels that connect Gaza with the outside world.

Mindless in Gaza
I have been searching desperately for some silver lining in the deepening tragedy in Gaza, and what finally came to me were the chilling words of the poet Aeschylus: "And slowly, even against our will, wisdom drips against the heart by the awful grace of god."

Barack Obama is the Best Thing to Ever Happen to Expose Black Genocide
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- America electing Barack Obama to the highest office in the land will finally expose America's best kept secret, the systematic decimation of black babies by the abortion industries leader Planned Parenthood. Barack Obama's long standing relationship with Planned Parenthood is easily documented and now can't be clouded by media bias, economy woes and the notoriety of America's first black president. The election is over.

Teaching an Attitude of Gratitude
This holiday season, parents may feel squeezed by the uncertainty in the national economy. Some may have already experienced job loss, lower wages, or credit problems. Even for parents who are working, higher prices and economic insecurity can produce anxiety about spending. Kids, on the other hand, are mostly unaware of the financial side of family life and will make long Christmas lists of desired toys and electronic gadgets. Avoiding disappointment for children at holiday time is a priority for parents.

My first reaction on hearing the proposal that the town of Millinocket seize the paper mill dams by eminent domain, was that this was a dumb and ignorant idea.

This just goes to show that even a man in his sixties can learn something new if he pays attention.

Democrats Should Fear the "Brady Effect"

Government-Sponsored Speculation and the Housing Market Crash
Abstract. This commentary identifies the root causes of the present financial meltdown. It points out the main culprits of the housing market collapse and the downfall of the stock market that followed it: the "affirmative action" in mortgage lending policies that were imposed by some neosocialist-liberal "do-gooders", most notably, by Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. It characterizes the financial upset caused by the massive subprime mortgage defaults as perhaps the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of mankind; the redistribution that was made possible by government encouragement and sponsorship of speculation by the underqualified borrowers, as well as other opportunists who took advantage of the flawed scheme that aimed at the "equality of outcomes". It concludes with a projection that if the current trend of socializing of the market and economy continues, the U.S. will evolve into a political system that may be best characterized by this paraphrase of socialist ideology: "equal poverty for all".

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As I listened to the boring debate last night between John McCain and Barack Obama, I realized that both men ended up jabbering about the same old things we have been hearing over the last few weeks. We already know that there is a problem with the economy, duh! We are all holding our collective breath with regard to seeing what will happen next and what's around the corner. The bailout or rescue, which ever you choose to call it--happened and now unfortunately all America can do is wait and see.
