The American Spectator

It's embarrassing enough that Democrats held their 2012 convention in North Carolina, a state that Mitt Romney will probably carry.

Adding to the "uh oh" factor: the Charlotte host committee raising money for the Democrats' convention has come up $12.5 million short of its original fundraising goal, according to election filings from the FEC made public Oct. 15. Of the amounts still owed to public and private venues and vendors, the host committees owe $161,000 to the City of Charlotte - $133,000 for convention center operations and $28,000 for volunteer shuttles.

Christians, true Christians will not approve of, facilitate or encourage certain behaviors deemed by the Holy Scriptures to be immoral or sinful.

From behind a smoking sniper rifle high atop his ivory tower peers the secular-"progressive." He surveys his many victims, strewn across the American landscape below and mockingly sneers, "War on Christianity? What war on Christianity?" He then resumes shooting, all the while insisting that those uncooperative Christians who scatter for cover behind the word of God and the U.S. Constitution somehow suffer from a "persecution complex" (the baker, the photographer, the florist, the innkeeper, the Christian school administrator, etc.). Though there are many, it is plain for all to see that abortion and "sexual liberation" remain the two principal theaters in the ongoing culture war battlefront.

Virtually every home schooling parent who knows anything about the Common Core of State Standards (CCSS) opposes them. Nevertheless, many are concerned that not following a Common Core program might have a negative impact on their children's ability to attend a selective four-year university. Parents have heard - correctly - that both the SAT and the ACT college entrance exams will be aligned with the new standards. Will ignoring the Common Core and following a traditional course of study leave homeschooled students unprepared for entrance exams and to tackle college-level work? After giving this question considerable thought, I am of the opinion that we home educators have little to worry about.

The Republicans have held a majority in Congress since January 5, 1995. What does that mean? It means that on a straight party vote, the Republican majority could pass legislation and there's nothing the Democrats could do about it.

In my last column on the Democratic Party's betrayal of the working class, I listed many top issues: the privately owned "Federal" Reserve, taxation, social security, immigration, the withholding scam and more. The same betrayal applies to the Republican controlled Congress. They have lied to the American people on every single one of those issues.

What a weird Democratic National Convention!

The two most popular speakers by far - Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton - aren't running for office. And the man who is supposed to be the Master Orator of the 21st Century, Barack Obama, gave one of the flattest, most disappointing talks of his career. More on that in a moment. First, I'll discuss what had to be the strangest moment of a very strange convention: The bungled effort to change the Democratic Party platform after it had been approved.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird ... it's a plane ... it's - Nano-Drone!

A new report from the Congressional Research Service warns that privacy may become a thing of the past in the approach Drone Age, and it may not just be the government taking a look down from the sky. The technology that allows us to fight a war with less risk also creates more risk of government and commercial intrusion in places we may not like...

Old and busted: Barack Obama is the most gifted orator in American politics since ... well, FDR, Lincoln, William Jennings Bryan, take your pick.

New hotness: The President can't express himself clearly without his apologists at the ready to explain his "context." For the third time in two months, Obama's musings on the economy have put him in hot water and given Mitt Romney huge openings to exploit. Kim Strassel believes that four words in particular have Team Obama in a panic...

Gather

October 21, 2008

I have read many posts on Gather and on the web in general about the politics of Obama and McCain. Unfortunately, there's something that many supporters of both candidates have in common: a total disregard and disrespect for others' opinions.

It's incredibly sad that so many people have turned to bashing one another in an attempt to be heard. Just because someone in the opposing 'side' doesn't agree with their thoughts, they feel surely the other person will see their point of view and agree with it, if they can just explain it often enough or harshly enough. When that doesn't happen, the fangs come out.

Communications sent between Germany's two leading email providers will now be encrypted to provide better security against potential NSA surveillance.

The "E-mail made in Germany" project has been set up in the wake of US surveillance revelations made by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. National Security Agency documents show that the agency intercepts 500 million phone calls, texts, and emails in Germany each month. "Germans are deeply unsettled by the latest reports on the potential interception of communication data," said Rene Obermann, head of Deutsche Telekom, the country's largest email provider. "Now, they can bank on the fact that their personal data online is as secure as it possibly can be."

So, is this the new standard? When reporters arrive to cover political events is it fair game to call them out and rile up an angry crowd against them because of a dubious guilt-by-association claim promolgated by left-wing advocacy groups?
