Our own version of Arlen Specter, Bill Baroni, has done it to us again. He is only a Republican because that is how he will get elected in his District. His voting record continues to prove that, his statements and comments on issues continue [...]

This just strikes me as bizarre.
Executives at National Public Radio recently asked the network’s top political correspondent, Mara Liasson, to reconsider her regular appearances on Fox News because of what they perceived as the network’s political bias, two sources familiar with the effort [...]
To help THE GREAT OBAMA get ready for his upcoming trip to Gropenhagen and the Global Climate Warming Conference, here is a quick video to bring him up to date on the latest developments concerning the science of global warming.
It really is sad that we have not heard anything about “Climategate” from the [...]

Bill Baroni, ever the Republican defector, is now expected to vote on the Senate Judiciary Committee today to bring the gay marriage to a full vote in the [...]
With the Democrat’s health care destruction bill now in the Senate, GOP Senators have embarked on a strategy of using every parliamentary trick at their disposal to stop it. This includes proposing amendment after amendment. Last week, Republican Senators successfully proposed amendments that put Democrats on record in [...]
Gateway Pundit has a post up that is simply too critical not to pass along. As the post details, Obama’s ‘Safe School Czar’ Kevin Jennings was the founder of a group called GLESN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network). The group states [...]
Parents, if you think your parental rights aren’t in grave danger, think again. Case in point: a Superior Court Judge in Alameda County, California, recently ruled that parents could not have their elementary-school-age children excused from classes teaching approval of the gay lifestyle.

While the country is following the escapades of Tiger Woods, the lies from the Global Warming clowns and the self promotion trips of THE GREAT OBAMA a real hero is being treated like a piece of garbage. 90-year-old retired Army Col. Van T. Barfoot, a Medal of Honor winner, and [...]
During the course of the campaign, Governor-Elect Christie often cited his desire to ‘gut COAH’ without offering anything in the way of specifics. With Christie poised to take his seat in Trenton next month, it begs the question: what will Christie do on this vital issue? Will [...]
Next week, THE GREAT OBAMA will be in Copenhagen to pick up his Nobel Peace Prize and to address the United Nations Climate Change Conference. But, is this the only reason he is going? Maybe not.

Today, in Houston Texas, it is snowing. What makes this news is the fact that it is the earlist recorded snow fall in the city’s history. Second, it normally snows in Houston about once every four years. Since it snowed in Houston last year, this is another record, two years in a row [...]
I know I’ve said this before, but it seems dangerously unfortunate that whenever same-sex marriage is advocated, its supporters focus solely on the issue as one one “civil rights.” By now, we should all be aware that since we already have civil unions in New Jersey, it’s [...]
Twenty-four hours ago, gay marriage advocates suffered a defeat when the New York state legislature voted down a bill that would legally recognize same-sex marriage. Also on this day, the New Jersey Republican State Committee adopted a resolution calling for the definition of marriage to be [...]
While waiting for THE GREAT OBAMA to give his non-victory speech at West Point, one cadet did some “graduate” studing on exactly what has to be done in Afghanistan.
Also, notice those ribbons on his chest that the other cadets do not have? This young man has been in [...]
You know, it struck me today, as the Obama Administration is holding a silly ‘Jobs Summit’, that climate change does exist. This climate change has been one of the most rapid in human history. Starting with Obama’s election last year and continuing to this day, the [...]
In an open letter to the President, filmmaker Michael Moore wrote that the “worst possible thing” about the troop increase will be to “destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in [Obama]. With just one speech tomorrow [Obama] will turn a multitude of young [...]
Yesterday, Barbara “the dwarf” Boxer came out and said that she wants a criminal investigation of the “Climategate” affair. She wants to get to the real “crime” that the release of these emails revealed. The “dwarf” wants to investigate the THEFT of the emails! Even though these emails reveal a [...]
John Derbyshire of the National Review has written a very interesting article in the wake of ‘Climategate.’ The article deserves little in the way of commentary except to say that with respect to the issue at hand - global warming theory - the ’science’ is hardly settled. [...]
In what will send shock waves of disappointment to it’s supporters and signs of encouragement to opponents of it, the NY York State has voted NO on Same Sex Marriage, defying the Assembly which passed the same Bill, and Governor David Paterson who used [...]

We can’t live with them and we can’t live without them it seems - but polls are obviously an essential component of the political landscape. The problem, though, with so many polls isn’t the data they yield but the way questions are asked and how the results [...]
The following letter was issued by New Jersey’s six Catholic bishops on the issue of ‘gay marriage.’ Regardless of your own religious faith or views on the issue, I thought this was important and instructive enough to pass along. This letter makes clear the Catholic faith’s teachings on marriage as well [...]
Over at BigGovernment.com, Kyle Olson has an interesting post about the NJEA and their strategy during the recent election. Knowing that there was little enthusiasm for a second Corzine term, the NJEA embarked upon a strategy of solidifying its base and wooing women. [...]
It seems like more and more often, the true meaning of our national holidays are lost in an increasingly secularized liberal society. As Gina points out below, even our President doesn’t really “get” what Thanksgiving is about.

Mike Proto earlier this week told you about the scandal that is developing in the Global Warming debate. It seems that supposed accredited scientists who have been the leading spokespersons of the Global Warming myth have been suppressing scientific results that debunk their opinions. They have black listed other scientists [...]
On Monday, President Obama issued his first Presidential Thanksgiving Day Proclamation. He quoted Washington’s call to give thanks “by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God” and gave reference to Lincoln’s establishment of an annual Thanksgiving Day.

When I first heard about this story, I thought it was a joke. Unfortunately for our country, THE GREAT OBAMA and his military advisers have gone completely insane as evidenced by this travesty.

As a New Jersey Native – born, raised, and currently residing – I can say readily say our state has its share of problems. A budget shortfall up to wahoozee, property taxes that make out-of-staters’ jaws drop, and political corruption that’s the stuff novels are made of.
Yet, despite all this, [...]
The decision by Attorney General Eric Holder to try Gitmo terrorists in U.S. civilian courts is bad enough. But now we are learning that the AG has a clear conflict of interest regarding this issue and clearly should have recused himself from [...]

THE GREAT OBAMA continues his policy of embarrassing the United States of America every chance he gets. A few months back, THE GREAT OBAMA bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia. No president of the United States has ever bowed to any leader of any country. Of course his handlers [...]

Gay “marriage” advocates in Maine are none too happy right now. They hoped November 3 would be a day to celebrate. But instead, voters made Maine the 31st state to reject gay “marriage.” But after losing in the voting booth, instead of simply continuing to advocate for their agenda, [...]

Damn those Democrats. I know that’s what you’re thinking. It would make sense that the political party of abortion would be the party to offer medical coverage of abortions to their employees in their health coverage.
