Imagine this grisly scenario: You’re driving down the interstate with the cruise control set at the speed limit. Without warning, your car accelerates. The speedometer pushes past 100 miles per hour. Suddenly, the car turns left and crashes into the concrete median.

Philadelphia laid off thousands of school employees last week after the state of Pennsylvania continued its austerity measures against public schools.

Obama’s out to rid the world of terrorists, one drone strike at a time. He’s particularly worried about those inside the United States. In fact, he’s so bent on ending their threats that his administration is listening to our phone calls, intercepting our emails, and desperately trying to protect us from reporters who investigate the Benghazi scandal.

Yet there’s one well known, unrepentant, terrorist who has managed to escape the President’s gaze.  We speak, of course, of Bill Ayers.   Continue reading “Obama should be tried for war crimes ….says terrorist Bill Ayers?”

Claim unfair to be stigmatized for sexual orientation

Using the same tactics used by “gay” rights activists, pedophiles have begun to seek similar status arguing their desire for children is a sexual orientation no different than heterosexual or homosexuals.

Critics of the homosexual lifestyle have long claimed that once it became acceptable to identify homosexuality as simply an “alternative lifestyle” or sexual orientation, logically nothing would be off limits. “Gay” advocates have taken offense at such a position insisting this would never happen. However, psychiatrists are now beginning to advocate redefining pedophilia in the same way homosexuality was redefined several years ago.   Continue reading “Pedophiles want same rights as homosexuals”
