Criminalizing Everyone
"These two leaders have begun giving voice to the increasing number of experts who worry about 'overcriminalization.' Astronomical numbers of federal criminal laws lack specifics, can apply to almost anyone and fail to protect innocents by requiring substantial proof that an accused person acted with actual criminal intent."
Brigitte Pellerin: Ignoring the sins of our friends
"It doesn’t matter how distasteful you think it is for activists of any political leaning to trap other people using hidden cameras. It also doesn’t matter how much you hate Fox News or how much you love anyone remotely connected to President Obama. What matters is truth and decency.
"There is no excuse for what the ACORN employees said and did, and for what they didn’t do. Disregarding the sexual exploitation of minors (Americans and illegal aliens) is no small potatoes, and it sure isn’t progressive."

The Death of the Republican Party & Conservative Values
By Rev. Wayne Perryman
October 6, 2009
After returning from a recent Republican Conference where I was the keynote speaker, I couldn’t help but to notice that the average age of most of the attendees was 60 plus. When I went to the College Republican website to look at the future of the party, I was disheartened to learn that of 20 million college students in America only 200,000 claimed that they were affiliated with the College Republicans. Today, we have more liberal college professors teaching our young people than we have membership in the College Republicans. This problem is further exacerbated by the fact that many conservative parents and grandparents confess that their children and grandchildren are liberal and want nothing to do with the party of their parents.
Given the fact that the future strength of any organization can be determined by the number of young people committed to it causes grave concern for the future of the Republican Party. Why aren’t young people attracted to the Republican Party, and what must the Party20do to attract more young people? The problem is two-fold.
Conservative baby-boomers (as a whole) no longer feel the need to invest and train future generations to follow in their footsteps. Unlike past generations of parents, far too many baby-boomers (as they were as teens) are only interested in themselves and their current welfare which now consist of retirement and comfortable living in their remaining years. Understandingly so, most of the people that they associate with are elderly and most of the people they vote for are older candidates. Their investments are not in young people - but in IRA’s and other retirement plans.
Unlike liberals, conservatives seldom ever talk about caring for the poor or improving race relations; two things that appeal to the modern-day college student. When it comes to conservatism, the perception that most young people have of Republicans is that they are a group of old white people who lost their capacity to care for others, particularly for the poor and people of color. In short, young people believe Republicans are insensitive, selfish and racist.
Are their perceptions true? No. But Republicans are doing very little to destroy these stereotypes, stereotypes that are being taught by college professors and re-enforced by the Republican’s own silence. Behind closed doors, Republicans will often say, “we have done a lot for minorities and the poor, but unlike the Democrats, we just don’t brag about it.” This is also true, but their unwillingness to talk about it openly leaves the door open to speculation and their contributions in helping others, becomes the best kept secret in our society.
In order to attract the other 18,800,000 liberal college students, Republicans must do the following:
They must convince young people that they always have - an d always will be the party of compassion, a party that cares about all Americans, particularly for the poor and the outcast.
They must educate an uninformed generation of young people of the Republican’s impressive Civil Rights History and the social programs that the Party developed to assure equality for all.
And they must invest hundreds of millions of dollars to train and develop conservative young leaders to prepare them for elective office while using books, films and other educational materials to challenge the liberal lies taught by liberal college professors.
This is a do or die mission. If they fail to do this, the Republican Party will eventually die along with their current aging baby-boomer population and that would be a tragedy.

AP: Obama turning to Hollywood for health reform help
Figures:
"WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is enlisting Hollywood celebrities including actress Rosario Dawson and musician Will.I.Am to draw attention to his health care overhaul agenda.
"The performers will act as celebrity judges for a TV commercial contest set up by Organizing for America, the Obama political organization that's part of the Democratic National Committee.
"Organizing for America last month invited supporters to create and submit 30-second ads in support of remaking health care. The winning one will be aired nationally."

Joy Tiz: Et Tu, SNL?
"Those notororiously right- wing racists at SNL jumped the shark this past weekend, with a skit about the excruciatingly conspicuous roster of Obama’s failures. His plans for a 'change we can believe in' were always preposterous. Opening with his failure to secure the 2016 Olympic Games for Chicago, SNL’s Obama said it was just further proof that his detractors’ fears are unfounded: How could he transform the country into something resembling the former Soviet Union or Nazi Germany when he’s failed to accomplish anything at all? 'When you look at my record,' he said, 'it’s very clear what I’ve done so far, and that is nothing.'”
and
"Ending a love affair with a narcissist is even harder than ending a healthy relationship. Narcissists don’t take it well. As Bernard Goldberg put it, many Americans are 'dumb and in love' with Barack Obama. The true believers continue to pose as members of an objective media, all the while being led around by the nose by the New York Times.
"Directly challenging the true believer makes him dig his heels in deeper. The one truth about cults or mass movements is that the outcome depends on the character of the leader. When SNL begins to turn on their favorite liberal, take heed. As goes SNL, so goes the nation."
Bob Parks: Planned Parenthood’s Continued Degradation Of Women
"Planned Parenthood of New York chose the Museum of Sex for the second year in a row as the venue for its annual 'Summer, Sex and Spirits' fundraiser.
"The fundraising benefit for Planned Parenthood of New York was arranged by the Planned Parenthood of New York City Activist Council. VIP ticket holders received gifts that included Butter Boy lubricant and pole dancing lessons. Items auctioned off at the event included boudoir photo sessions and “sexy lingerie.”
"Seeing how we’re talking Planned Parenthood, there will be no protestations from the appropriate liberal women’s groups. Quite an eye-opening display of just how useless Planned Parenthood considers life and the women who carry it."
