Science education in Texas: "the rule has worked well and hasn’t forced religion into those classes as critics charge.."-"Guess who recently said the following: "Tenure is the holy grail of teacher unions, but it has no educational value for kids; it only benefits adults."A right-wing blogger? No...."

What a story!!! Next week Tim Tebow and Florida will be taking on number one Alabama. If Florida wins they will likely be number one!!!
Liberal Media Bias
Time Magazine journalist thinks his colleagues were guilty of "exterme pro-Obama coverage" and so does Zogby poll!!!-"Time Magazine journalist Mark Halperin thinks his colleagues were guilty of “extreme pro-Obama coverage" during the 2008 campaign..."-So now you have a Time Magazine journalist and a Washington Post editor (Washington Post admits "a serious omission"/"one gaping hole in coverage"/"13 percent were about issues"/"there were few on religious issues") that admit what the Zogby poll in this blog and many other such polls show that Americans already know!!!
Economy
No tax increases for the rich says Obama economic advisers. It's about job creation and economic recovery. Obama sounding more like Bush!!!-"Obama will also surround himself with new key economic players. The big name - Timothy Geithner - the president of the New York Federal Reserve will become Obama's new treasury secretary, the key government point man. When his name was leaked Friday, the stock market took off, gaining 500 points....Billionaire investor and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) head Warren Buffett, a supporter of Obama during the general election, also told FOX Business he believes Geithner is a good choice for Treasury..."-And has kept stable in an upward direction since but also note over the same weekend Obama's advisors said this; "Obama's economic advisers say he will not propose any tax increases in the economic plan he unveils in January. It is to be focused entirely on job creation and economic recovery"-I thought it was trickle up economics that Obama said would get us out of this economic crisis it appears he has conceded it rather Reagan trickle down economics that he is relying on now!!!
$4.6 of the $6.6 trillion mortgage-backed securities at the heart of the financial crisis are from Government Sponsored Enterprises!!!!-"The total outstanding balance on all of the U.S. mortgages that have been incorporated into mortgage-backed securities, the financial instruments at the heart of the financial crisis, is $6.6 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve...The outstanding balances on these securitized mortgages accounts for 59 percent of all money now owed by Americans on home mortgages, which is $11.2 trillion, according to the Fed....Government sponsored enterprises, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, processed $4.6 trillion of the $6.6 trillion in mortgages now tied up in mortage-backed securities."-Also, an article of Bill Clinton discussing Phil Gramm for those who know of Phil.
Tolerance, Politics and Big Government
Freedom of speech, of press and right to petition got talk radio in trouble with Big G. Get ready for Big G control of the radio waves!!!-"After the Democratic Party took control of Congress in 2006, experts predicted the federal government was sure to pass “comprehensive” immigration reform...But then democracy happened. Conservative and independent activists pierced through the establishment’s gooey rhetoric to expose what was at the core of the bill: amnesty for millions of immigrants who violated American laws when entering the country that would end up costing taxpayers at least $2.6 trillion....Key to this grassroots victory was talk radio. By informing and motivating their listeners, talk radio hosts generated thousands of calls to Congress, which swamped Capitol Hill switchboards. When the dust settled, the American people won. This was made possible thanks to the principles enshrined in the First Amendment: the freedom of speech, freedom of press, and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.But the establishment was not happy...Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) complained that “hate radio” had hijacked political discourse and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) called for a revival of the Fairness Doctrine..."-Much more. A very interesting read!!!
Colmes leaving one of the most fair and balance shows on cable....-"Their show is second only to Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor" in prime-time cable ratings, and competes against Rachel Maddow on MSNBC and Larry King on CNN....This is sad. I have found this show to be the most fair and balanced I have yet to view. It also, shows how a liberal and conservative can be passionately liberal and conservative and yet still tolerate each other. I hope they find an equal to Colmes to replace him and that this show remains in this fair and balanced context. Below is a show from 01/08 but also, see more Hannity and Colmes interviews at Hannity and Colmes "
Sign along with so far 90,000 others a petition to verify Obama is constitutionally qualified to be our president.-"Update: 11/27/2008 Now more then 95,000 since last Friday which is about 1,000 an hour!!!" And since the 27th their has been 22,000 more signatures to 117,000.
One thing a liberal won't tolerate in the name of tolerance is a conservative!! Not all of course and neither is every conservative unhypocritical...-"What if this happened at a McCain rally?" and "Obama donor Helen Jones-Kelley, who is the department's director, now admits that the agency not only investigated whether Joe Wurzelbacher owed child support, but also looked into whether he was receiving welfare assistance or owed unemployment taxes"

See also, Christian prayer group sexually and physically assaulted by homosexual mob? Where is the media? Even Gay blacks are being yelled at!!!."
Obama raised a record $452.8 million vs McCain at $204.4 million and some other interesting facts to put all in balanced perspective.-"The myth is that money from small donors dominated Barack Obama’s finances...All this publicity about droves of young people that were sending him small contributions and it was a revolution in campaign finance was all a smokescreen to cover the fact that he was rejecting public funding, having said he would accept it, and he was taking large major contributions hand-over-fist...In total, Obama’s presidential campaign raised $452.8 million compared to McCain who raised $204.4 million. McCain was constrained by the same public financing system used by both candidates in the 2004 race, which Obama opted out of this year allowing him to raise an unlimited amount....Voter “turnout was only about 4 million higher, while as from ’00 to ’04 it grew by 20 million"
