Clueless Emma

The Al Gore story: What to make of Bambi and the sex poodle | OregonLive.com

Her story feels painfully cinematic and over-rehearsed. She three times ducked the opportunity to follow up with Portland police investigators, then tried to micromanage the Portland Tribune's attempt to report the sexual assault. And, according to the executive editor of the National Enquirer, she demanded $1 million for her side of the lurid tale.

Evolution News & Views: The Fact-Free “Science” of Matheson, Hunt and Moran: Ridicule Instead of Reason, Authority Instead of Evidence

One might think that professors Matheson, Hunt and Moran would address the conceptual issue calmly, rationally, and collegially. But they don’t; instead, they stoop to misrepresentation and ridicule. And one might think that they would address the empirical issue by citing published scientific evidence. But they don’t; instead, they simply proclaim themselves the only authorities on the subject.

This is true of everyone on the Left of any issue, in my experience.

I am proud to be part of the Troopathon: please support our troops with a care package!

Want to do something that will show your appreciation and make a real difference for the troops?

You can help make the daily routine of our troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq a little more bearable and thank them for their services all at the same time.

We've heard from countless members of the Armed Forces serving in the Middle East about items that the military does not provide, are hard to come by and they really appreciate getting . That's why Move America Forward has responded and compiled care packages that contain these goods as a way of saying "thank you" for their sacrifices and courage.   Care packages are packed full of gourmet coffee, Oreo cookies, Jelly Belly jelly beans, high-quality beef jerky, trial mix, Gatorade, deodorant, Chap Stick, sun block, CDs and much more.

Most importantly, each care package will include a personal message written by you where you can express your gratitude to our military.  This is done through the order form by putting your message in the Comments box.  Along with your message will be included a "self-addressed" envelope for the troops to send you a Thank You note if, and when, they have time.  This is done through the order form by putting your address in the Ship To field.  Rest assured that all care packages are sent to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Move America Forward is a 501(C)3 so all care package donations are tax deductible.

Club Fed for illegal aliens by Michelle MalkinCreators Syndicate Copyright 2010

"Ensuring humane treatment of detainees is one thing. This, on the other hand, is beyond ridiculous. Detention centers should be clean, safe and temporary way stations for illegal immigrants on their way out the door. These proposals turn the immigration detention centers into permanent Dave & Buster’s-style comfort zones for illegal aliens biding their time until the next amnesty. Dancing lessons? Game halls? This is an invitation for abuse — and a recipe for exploitation by smugglers and drug cartels. Open-borders and civil liberties activists will end up endangering DHS/ICE workers — and the rest of us — under the guise of “immigrant human rights."

Hitler and Eugenics, Dawkins and Boteach, Concepts of God | Hitler and Christianity

When we National Socialists speak of a belief in God, we do not understand by God, like naïve Christians and their spiritual opportunists, a human-type being, who sits around somewhere in space . . . The force of natural law, with which all these innumerable planets move in the universe, we call the Almighty or God.

. . . we National Socialists impose on ourselves the demand to live naturally as much as possible, i.e., biologically. The more accurately we recognize and observe the laws of nature and of life, the more we adhere to them, so much the more do we conform to the will of the Almighty.

Judging Others: Do We Have the Right?

I believe there is Absolute Truth. We have a reason to live, a mission to follow. Many like to think we are to go through life being nonjudgmental, to accept everyone and every life choice with open arms. True, the bible tells us not to be hypocritical in judgment. But we are also told to try every spirit, to see if it is of God. If it is not, we cannot accept it into our everyday life. Tolerance is not acceptance!

It amazes me that so many people automatically label someone with an unwavering opinion as a hater or as unChristlike. It is NOT hateful to judge something as unbiblical or as something that should not be accepted--it is NOT wrong to tell a friend that they have the freedom to choose what they will in life, but that they will not be accepted into my little world while they are participating in said activities. We have forgotten what boundaries are. It is okay to say no. It is okay to "be ye separate." I am a fierce proponent of individual freedoms--and they include the freedom to judge whether or not I will allow people to actively participate in my life.

My rules for determining acceptance into my personal life:

1) If I cry more than laugh when we talk, you're out.
2) If I feel guilty more than joyful when we're together, you're out.
3) If I feel more unsure about what you're really thinking and doing more than I feel secure knowing you are open and honest at all times, you're out.
4) If I have to walk on eggshells because I never know what will set you off, I'm out.
5) When you berate me more than compliment me; display continual personal hypocrisy in your judgment of me; or act differently when we're around family and/or friends than when we're alone, you're out.

I tolerate everyone. I only accept those who will not hurt me. Isn't that the way it should be for all of us?
