As reported by CNS News, the Obama Administration has created a categorization system for illegal immigrants. This system is designed so that law enforcers may only target illegal aliens guilty of serious crimes, while leaving others alone. "Instead of allowing local police to arrest people simply for being in the United States illegally, the Obama administration has now established

The New York Times has an interesting article today. Apparently, Paganism is growing, and that's just fine, at least according to the NYT. Paganism has always been seen as the "alright religion" by the Left. It's hip, cool, different. Not at all like those stuffy christians. "In several ways, though, Paganism was waiting for modernity to catch up with it. The emphasis on the worship of nature

Over the years, I have spent a great deal of time studying psychology. To be specific, I've studied how psychology is often used to manipulate people. I first gained an interest in this subject years ago as it pertained to cultists (LONG story), but eventually I started to notice the same tactics used in the media, in political debate, and in general conversation with left-leaning people.

Earlier today, Liberal news makers and bloggers such as the Huffington Post rushed to their keyboards to make another attack on Conservatism. They were responding to a rumor going around that Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia had claimed he would have been against the decision of the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education. Brown v. Board of Education is of course the case that made

While our country is being strangled by its massive debt, President Obama is launching a new plan to donate money to Muslim countries to fund technological development. Shouldn't he be trying to deal with the financial troubles of the US first? This is just another few hundred million added on the billions doled out in foreign aid in an attempt to "repair the nations image." A trend

At the launch event for his latest book, Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago attacked the bible, saying that the world would be better off without it. The writers latest book "Cain" is an ironic retelling of the story of Cain and Abel from the book of genesis. Looks like President Obama is in great company.

Belief in the myth of Global Warming has dropped 20 points in the last 3 years according to polling done by the Pew Research Center. Obama has followed this up by opening a polar bear habitat in Alaska, which will make drilling for oil and natural gas there much more difficult. The global warming "debate" has been in the spotlight a bit more than usual in the last month with the left

A biological attack will occur "more likely than not before 2013," according to this Washington Post article today.

In a recent series of Rasmussen polls, Republican congressional candidates in the upcoming elections are up to a 5 point lead, while in the Florida senate race the two potential Republican nominees both have a double digit lead over their Democrat opponent. This is happening while at the same time Obama's approval rating hits a new low. All signs are pointing to Democrats making huge losses

A new online "game" called Internet Eyes is about to be launched in the UK. The game allows the "players" to connect to CCTV cameras in the UK to monitor for criminal activity. If a resident witnesses a crime, they can then report it for a reward of up to £1000. The company website tries to emphasize that they value privacy. Internet Eyes does not consider its service is

Goldy Gopher, the mascot for the University of Minnesota football team the Golden Gophers, made news today for mocking Penn State player Jerome Hayes. Jerome had knelt down in prayer before the game when the mascot decided make fun of him. Take a look at the video below. UPDATE: The U of M has apologized.

A group called The Big Apple Coalition of Reason has started a monthlong ad camaign on the New York City subway system. The group aims to convince people that there are many atheists in New York, and that they are still moral without religion.

In a recent change, the Obama Administration has ordered federal authorities to not go after medical marijuana facilities in states where they are allowed under state law. This comes after a recent Gallup poll showing that support for legalization has reached a new high. So what will this do to America? A common thing cited by people in favor of legalization is that it could be taxed

As we covered in a previous post, the Muslim advocacy group CAIR is currently in the midst of a scandal on Capitol Hill, and the mainstream media has done its best to ignore it. And now Paul "Dave" Gaubatz, the co-author of "Muslim Mafia", the book that started this whole thing, is being accused of "islamophobia" by CAIR. This itself is not all that surprising. What is

As reported by wnd.com today, in 2004 a congressional committee deliberated on a plan to allow immigrants to run for POTUS. A major supporter of this plan was Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.

On Wednesday, four congressmen accused the muslim advocacy group CAIR of planting spies on Capitol Hill. Even more questions about CAIR have been raised with their recent actions, including inviting several radicals to their annual banquet. While looking into this story, I popped it into google and found... Nothing. Go ahead, try it yourself. There has been almost no coverage of this

Recently, the Obama Administration has made quite a few comments on its relationship with the media. From complaining that the media as a whole is out to get them, to accusing Fox News of being an underling of the Republican Party. The left wing has followed its lead and continued these attacks. Could this be leading somewhere? In the United States, we have the Public Broadcasting Network (

After the White House went after Fox News earlier this week, the liberal leaning news media and online blogs have been following along with the attack. Earlier today Salon.com made some of the most vile attacks yet. The boldest innovator, however, has been Fox News. Since President Obama’s election, the cable news channel has dropped all but the barest pretense of objectivity. Billing

A chapter on global warming in the soon to be released Superfreakonomics, sequel to the bestseller Freakonomics, has been leaked, and the left isn't happy about it. With the US about to go into "a 'numbing' winter", the left still continues to to attack anyone who dares present evidence that the earth isn't warming, or that if it is, humans aren't the cause. The book is of course being

Today, in a continuation of the White House and the left's war on Fox News, the left wing webiste ThinkProgress.org says that Fox News asking "Where are the jobs?" proves that they are a wing of the GOP. This is another example of effects of the White House creating the idea that all criticism of it is biased. This tactic has been surprisingly successful and has lead to the mainstream

Recently, the left has been turning up the heat on Obama on Afghanistan, even calling for Vice President Biden to resign over it. And now Obama's views on national security is making the cracks in the left grow even more. So how will this affect the Obama Administration? It seems unlikely that democrat politicians will challenge Obama on any of this, so it most likely won't have

So Salon.com says not to worry about North Korea and Iran making nuclear weapons. The "logic" being that a rogue state would only use them as a deterrent, and that a terrorist group can create mass panic in easier, more creative ways. The largest problem with this logic, is that these two groups themselves aren't really known for acting logically. So a nuke-free world -- as desirable as

The White House is going after Fox News again. As I covered in a previous post, these sort of attacks and complaints of unfairness in the media by the White House helps to create a story. This is a story of how the right wing is behind any criticism of the Obama Administration, and is therefore biased. The fact is that this story is one of the main tools of the Obama Administration used to push
