Cover Stories, News When the Devil comes to Church and Stays By Judi McLeod 
Noting my misadventures of late in the Catholic churches I attend, a friend warns me that “The Devil has come to church.”
Although I would rate the pulpit politics, including the most recent one from Development and Peace’s “Help to Cool the Earth” campaign devilish, I never til’ now took my friend’s warning literally.
But In fact, the devil has come to church in the name of one Saul Alinsky.
Thanks to colleague Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Jim O’Neill, who sent me a post by Bob Lunsford this morning quoting Fr. Val J. Peter, I got the chilling skinny on how much at home Beelzebub is in church.
Water Water Everywhere, But Not a Drop to Think By Arnold Ahlert In a column I wrote back in July, I quoted George Orwell’s immortal words regarding the power of government to alter reality: “In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.” On November 17th, the European Union revealed what ought to be considered a “watershed” moment of philosophical bankruptcy: Brussels bureaucrats banned all advertising which claims water can prevent….dehydration.
The Impossible Numbers By Daniel Greenfield Some political systems are based on beliefs and identity. The American congress is built on spending money. The spoils system long ago became the spoiled system with money as the lubricant of politics. The legacy of a leader used to be measured by his accomplishments, today it’s measured by how much money he managed to extract from the collective pool of real and imaginary money held in the sweaty hands of the legislatures.
Much of the money is imaginary, but in the minds of the politicians it’s all imaginary. Unreality is an elementary tool of price inflation. The more outrageous the markup, the more the merchant works to create an atmosphere where money does not seem to exist and reality bends at the seams. It’s not a new game or a particularly clever one, but the unreality bubble now covers much of Washington D.C.
Barbarians Inside the Gate! By A.J. Cameron With the recent revelations of long-known abuses by members of Congress, it is obvious that modern-day Vandal, Visigoth and Ostrogoth barbarians have come to dominate both Houses of Congress. Instead of invading from outside our borders, these barbarians have been raping, pillaging and plundering the American citizen/taxpayer from inside the gateway to American unenlightened despotism.
Egypt, Syria, Iran and Israel - Approaching the Tipping Point By Douglas V. Gibbs Egypt
Egyptian riot police in Tahrir Square have had to use tear gas and rubber bullets on 5,000 protesters who are demanding that the ruling military begin the process of stepping down and handing over power to an elected government.
As if the military was going to relinquish control that easily.
Thanksgiving Is For Giving Thanks By Jimmy Reed The sign read, “Thanksgiving is for giving thanks.” Driving by it on the way to work, I thought … that message is an understatement; it’s too obvious. I could have come up with something better.
Tebow, Palin & the Logic of Thanksgiving By Kelly O'Connell 
Shall we unveil the 700-pound Tasmanian devil in the room? The chief reason the average crank hates Tim Tebow & Sarah Palin is because both are open and unapologetic Christians. Although typical anti-American bigots are loathe to admit this fact, it is transparently true. Further, it is the essential values and characteristics of authentic Christianity which most of these non-believers find highly objectionable. This same anti-religious bigotry now threatens to atomize America’s once nearly impregnable foundations.
ALERT: Hollywood Producer Speaks Out Against Massive Obama and DNC Corruption By Sher Zieve What would have seemed unlikely—if not impossible as the fear of doing so was too great—three years ago, is beginning to happen today. Some successful in Hollywood are actually speaking out against Dictator-in-Chief Obama and the now totally corrupt Marxist-Democrat Party.
What is Agenda 21? By Chris Carter “Agenda 21 proposes an array of actions which are intended to be implemented by every person on Earth…it calls for specific changes in the activities of all people… Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all humans, unlike anything the world has ever experienced… ” - Agenda 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet (Earthpress, 1993).
UN Trapped in Climate Turmoil By Dennis Avery CHURCHVILLE, VA—The man-made warming activists at the UN are trapped in turmoil over how to deal with the earth’s lack of warming since 1998. A week or so ago, the UN climate panel circulated a draft statement that would have admitted we’re unlikely to have any further earth-warming for the next 30 years “because climate change signals are expected to be relatively small compared to natural climate variability.”
American Politics, Freedom California Ballot Boondoggle Sends Tax Dollars Out of State By Warner Todd Huston Despite all the talk of fixing it, California’s budget is still a mess. One of those “fixes” was implemented last summer when the state Legislature increased revenue projections by $4 billion to avoid balancing the budget. Of course, the problem with using such “phantom money” is that it often has a habit of disappearing when you need it most. And it has disappeared just when money for schools is needed. Now deep cuts are on the table. The people lose again.
Why I’m Thankful in 2011 By Doug Patton The older I get, the more I realize the importance of the little things that are right in front of me to appreciate all year long. So, once again, as we celebrate this uniquely American holiday, Thanksgiving, here is my list of blessings for which I am thankful in 2011.
What is our first priority for victory in the 2012 election, if there is one? By Dr. Laurie Roth The concerns, fears and conspiracies about the 2012 election are exploding far and wide. I hear about it everyday from my listeners on my radio show and readers. Sadly, with the Obama regime we have in the White House, most of our fears all have the possibility of coming true. These days there is no ‘tin helmet’ conspiracy but the horrifying truth we already know about this President.
Ripping Our Society to Shreds By Alan Caruba There was a time when civil rights were understood to mean those enumerated in the U.S. Constitution. Now, at least in the State of Massachusetts, they mean the right of homosexuals and transgender people to flaunt their lifestyle anywhere, any time. If you don’t like it and say so, the police can arrest you.
I have always been a live-and-let-live kind of person. I consider a person’s sexual preferences to be their own business. No longer. The gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender crowd is determined to impose their sexual “orientations” on everyone, starting in, but not limited to schools.
Liberal violence rising By Matt Barber While necessity is the mother of invention, sloth and envy beget mediocrity and upheaval—the twin siblings of secular-socialism.
It is in this vein that a rebellious and increasingly violent spirit of incoherent anarchy continues to fester in urban centers across the nation. This is most evident in the form of the envy-driven “Occupy wherever” nonsense embraced by the “progressive” establishment.
Shock, Awe from Illegal Alien Paradise: California Faces Budget Crisis! By John Lillpop After electing the ‘mooniest’ of all bats to be Governor, California voters have no valid reason to be shocked or awed by the fact that the state once regarded as paradise is being transformed into a third-world trash heap.
Newt-Romney, All-American By Daren Jonescu In a marriage as unlikely as it is unholy, the Republican Establishment has combined forces with the liberal media to create the primary race they desire. Or, to be more accurate, they have created the fictional narrative that they prefer, with the intention of convincing people that the fiction is reality, and in turn of achieving a self-fulfilling political prophecy.
Corruption and Do-Nothingness in Government By Jerry McConnell This past week saw the consequences of when the defecation hits the ventilation in our less-than-illustrious legislative monstrosity, more commonly known as the Congress of the United States, when Peter Schweizer’s new book, “Throw Them All Out” hit the streets. This book, when coupled with a memoir by the just-recently-released-from-prison lobbyist Jack Abramoff, “both shed light on the degree to which members of Congress profited from trading stocks that were directly affected by pending government policy” according to Yahoo.com News writer Zachary Karabell on November 15, 2011.
Protest as Identity By Daniel Greenfield The assorted “Occupations” may be drawing to a close as even liberal mayors have lost patience with the occupation of public space and the budget drain created by aging radicals, wannabe hippies and random homeless people, hucksters, scammers and professional activists, but it isn’t over because it never really began.
To the left, protest is an identity, which is also why the Occupations never seemed to have much of a coherent message. The purpose of their protests is to protest, the romance of the protest is all the justification that it really needs. Creating permanent protest encampments turned protests from an occasional activity into a theme park, and that was what Zuccotti Park really was, a protest theme park for overgrown children too old to go to Disneyland, who instead tried to go back to the seventies.
PeTA: Mind Your Business By Bob Parks The majority of vegans I’ve met during my lifetime are judgmental, sometimes emaciated people who push their I’m-better-than-you-because-I-don’t-eat meat agenda whenever they’re not eating. I’ve never gotten in their face and demand they eat a cheeseburger, and certainly not approached their kids. Why can’t they leave the rest of us happy carnivores the XXXX alone?

Prince Philip: Wind Farms Are ‘Absolutely Useless And A Disgrace’ By News on the Net The Duke of Edinburgh has made a fierce attack on wind farms, describing them as “absolutely useless, completely reliant on subsidies and an absolute disgrace.” The Duke’s views are politically charged, as they put him at odds with the Government’s policy. In a withering assault on the onshore wind turbine industry, the Duke said the farms were “a disgrace”. He also criticised the industry’s reliance on subsidies from electricity customers, claimed wind farms would “never work” and accused people who support them of believing in a “fairy tale”.—Jonathan Wynne-Jones, The Sunday Telegraph, 20 November 2011
Cavuto Tell Imus to Quit Blaming Viewers for His “Awful” Show By Don Irvine Don Imus and Neil Cavuto had a very long and loud discussion on Friday morning about the inconsistent ratings of Imus in the Morning on Fox Business News (FBN).
Drinking Global Warming Propaganda By Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh On a recent flight, I was handed a bright, red and white napkin with cute polar bears on both sides with the logo, “Together We Can Help Protect Their Home.” The Coca Cola famous trademark was augmented by the words, “Arctic Home.”
I decided to check their Arctic Home website. It was exquisitely done, with soothing, sleep-inducing sounds of ocean waves and beautiful shots of polar bears in their Arctic habitat. The site explained, “Our goal, in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund, is to raise awareness and funds to help create a safe haven for polar bears on Arctic refuge. As a symbol of our commitment, for the first time ever, we are turning our red Coca Cola can white. Please join us by making a donation so the polar bear always has a place to call home.”
Former Fox News analyst at center of Pakistani firestorm By Jim Kouri Pakistan’s powerful army has become enraged after a secret memo indicated President Asif Ali Zardari’s government asked for U.S. help to prevent a military coup following the Navy SEAL raid in May that killed Osama bin Laden. - Washington Post, November 18, 2011.
The Global Warming Guessing Game By Thomas Richard Less than a week after UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged developing nations to commit billions of dollars to fight the effects of climate change, the U.N.‘s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a well-timed preliminary report that basically said its climate models were fairly useless at the moment. In the process, they also threw out basic scientific principles by stating that extreme weather events would become more common, and that its climate models didn’t have practical predictability.
Associated Press Reminds Reporters to Not Break the News With a Tweet By Don Irvine The Associated Press, which recently updated its social media guidelines, sent out an email On Wednesday to remind employees just what those guidelines were in light of staff arrests at Zucotti Park on Tuesday.
