Harry Potter Meets Uncle Sam
The military has recently capitulated to requests by Wiccan members to allow the Wiccan symbol on military graves. So, walking through Arlington cemetery one day, you might see a Jewish Star on one grave, a cross on another, or perhaps even a cresent and star on another. And then, you might come accross a satanic pentagram.
Strange, is it not? Witchcraft, by definition, is an anti-religion. It has an enemy: Christianity, and, at times, Judaism.
Whatever floats your boat.

Who Said The Following?
Whose words are below? By the way, guesses only. No googling!
I think the vast differences in compensation between the victims of the September 11th casualty and those who die serving the country in uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11th. Well, I just can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country.
If you lost a family member in the September 11th attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million. If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000, direct death benefit, half of which is taxable. Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.
Keep in mind that some of the people that are getting an average of $1.185, million up to $4.7 million, are complaining that it's not enough.
We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11th families are getting.
In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well. You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad.
Why Did Toyota Become The World's Biggest Auto Maker This Quarter (Beating GM for the First Time)?
Answer: They build a better product.
American Auto Workers Union has sunk the American auto. "Quality is job 1." If you buy Japanese.
Boooo, Penn State!
Today, I am not Penn State Proud. I'm Penn State ashamed.
Free speech? Why is it that on a University campus it is not okay to speak about how Muslim radicals train children to be terrorists and to murder? Worse still, why can't an artist even paint about the subject?
Joshua Stulman, a student artist at Penn State, had his exhibit of anti-terror themed art canceled by the visual arts department of Penn State because it violated their "hate speech" rules.
"Hate speech?" I guess Penn State does. Hate speech, that is.

One Small Step For Man, One Giant Leap . . .
Ironically, in a week when we have the greatest masacre in US history on the Virginia Tech campus, our highest court has outlawed one of the greatest legal masacres in our nation: partial birth abortion.
We thank God.
