Obama Nominee: Society Should ‘Not Tolerate Private Beliefs’ That ‘Adversely Affect’ Homosexuals

A disturbing trend of the Obama administration is to nominate people to key positions with extreme views. His latest nominee, Chai Feldblum, is apparently willing to trample over religious liberty in pursuit of a radical agenda:

"Feldblum does recognize that elements of the homosexual agenda may infringe on Americans’ religious liberties. However, Feldblum argues that society should 'come down on the side' of homosexual equality at the expense of religious liberty. Because the conflict between the two is 'irreconcilable,' religious liberty -- which she also calls 'belief liberty' -- must be placed second to the 'identity liberty' of homosexuals." 



- Chai Feldblum, Georgetown University law professor

More shameless profiteering from global warming

There seems to be a recurring theme when it comes to climate change legislation, people in power get money and perks.

Even CNN's Jack Cafferty is outraged... which puts me in the uncomfortable position of agreeing with him.

Luck of the Amish

I've always admired the Amish, now I'm thinking about becoming one. It appears they will be exempt from any health care legislation that might become law. However, there is some good news; according to Christopher Dodd, the health care bill is "Hanging by a thread". But, just in case, I'm going to buy a big hat and shine my buckles. Wait, I might be confusing them with the Pilgrims... but I'm still getting that hat.

Global warming on the hot seat



This is John Hirst, he is chief of the Meteorological (MET) Office  in the UK and a huge proponent of  global warming. Andrew Neal of the BBC got a little over heated and  put Mr. Hirst on the hot seat (pun intended).

Well, there's some good news just in time to cool things down. Some leading climatologists believe that global warming might take a break for a "mini ice age".

Oliver Stone to put Hitler and Stalin "In context"

Here is more nonsense from Oliver stone. Stone is directing an upcoming "documentary" for Showtime. In it, he asserts that Hitler and Stalin are misunderstood and he seeks to correct the record. It is his hope that these "documentaries" will eventually be shown in classrooms as well.

Considering the success Matt Damon and Howard Zinn are having with "The People Speak", a History Channel production and college tour, Stone will likely get his wish.

In the article Stone mentions how much he despises George Bush. Of course, you might remember that Stone also thinks Ronald Reagan was "dumb". Apparently you have to be a fascist to win Mr. Stone's approval.
