When Rush Limbaugh said of Barack Obama, "I hope he fails," everyone assumed that he wanted Obama's policies to make him so unpopular that in 2012 the electorate would overwhelmingly vote to make him the most unambiguous one-termer since Jimmy Carter. As he approaches the half-way point of that one term, Obama does, indeed, seem hell-bent on serving only four years in office — but the word "failure" may not apply to this man after all.
"The astonishing fact that Iran has been allowed to progress unimpeded to this point demonstrates that President Obama has been an abject failure in even his most fundamental responsibility of protecting the American people," said Arizona's U.S. Congressman Trent Franks.
America's faithful gathered with the unified mission to Restore Honor within ourselves and our nation. From the steps of the Abraham Lincoln Monument all the way past the World War II Memorial they gathered, straining to hear as numbers exceeded all hopes. Crowd estimates range from 500,000 to over a million as Beck spoke of God and family, of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Between a mix of Gospel and patriotic songs and speakers stood Martin Luther King Jr's niece, Dr. Alveda King, who bravely spoke in spite of threats and great risk.
Calvin Coolidge, Thirtieth President of the United States said, “If the people fail to vote, a government will be developed which is not their government… The whole system of American Government rests on the ballot box. Unless citizens perform their duties there, such a system of government is doomed to failure.”
As a child in the 1950s, I learned how to “duck and cover” in order to protect myself from an atomic bomb explosion. Little did I know that the instruction should have been “Kiss your asterisk goodbye.”
After turning NYC over to the Islamists and leftist sympathizers, via endorsing their 9/11 Victory Mosque (any Muslim project called “The Cordoba Initiative” has to be just that), Dictator-in-Chief Obama believes that he has found the way to both destroy opposition to his Orwellian plans for the former United States of America and introduce OUR country’s final demise. For attempting to do that which the Obama refuses to do (his job under the US Constitution--not George Soros and friends), the tyrant has now turned Arizona and the twenty-two other US States trying to protect their citizens over the patently corrupt (Obama’s kind of organization) United Nations as “human rights violators.” Now disregarding the US Constitution and US law entirely--and getting away with it--The Obama and his worldwide anti-US Marxist minions have begun to divvy up the booty from that which was once America. Note: Despite our protests and marches, Obama believes he silenced We-the-People long ago. Didn’t Hugo Chavez affect something similar in Venezuela? But, let’s face the truth, folks. Even Chavez didn’t try to destroy his OWN country. But, considering his true birth place, neither did Obama.

The United States of America is a vast melting pot of many people of different origins and religions….And, thank God, we are still free to worship at the church, synagogue or mosque of our choice as our nation celebrates her 234th birthday as an American-Christian Republic.

Washington, D.C. - In covering the Glenn Beck 'Restoring Honor' rally at the Lincoln Memorial, "the professional news media is doing what it does best: select and disseminate the news they agree with and tarnish those they don't," says Project 21's Bob Parks.

What do Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney Jr. have in common? They are forever known as the faces of the classic monsters Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, Phantom of the Opera, and the Wolf Man. Whether you were frightened by these classic representations or the continual evolutionary adaptations that have followed, we all know these monsters when we see them and we all do the same thing when they are thrust into our faces: we take a big step back.

The controversy surrounding the Park 51/Cordoba House project – promoted by the Cordoba Initiative and headed by Feisal Abdul Rauf – is one that illustrates the full range of the ideological clash between the Islamic culture and the culture of the West. Whether Liberals, Progressives and apologists care to admit it or not the fundamentalist Islamist factions of the Arab world are actively attempting to advance their influence on the world; in every nation and every culture. In their attempt at establishing an elevated influence around the world this fundamentalist faction seeks not to be accepted as equals or to assimilate, but to enter into foreign cultures as a privileged and exempt class. The issue of the Park 51 Project – from this point forward referred to by its original label, the Cordoba House – is a perfect example of one particular battle theater in this culture clash: the war of ideas.

Palin endorsed Kelly Ayotte over the authentic conservative, Ovide Lamontagne. Radio and television star, Obama Diaries author and Dartmouth graduate Laura Ingraham endorsed Lamontagne as "the only true Conservative in a very important race" and the prior excuses for Palin backing a much less conservative person in other races don't apply. Ayotte did not pick Palin as vice presidential running mate, and polls show that both Ayotte and Lamontagne would beat the liberal Democrat nominee, Congressman Paul Hodes, so, New Hampshire Republicans take note, it appears that personal interest, not ideology, drove Palin's Ayotte endorsement.

It is rare in any age that a single book can so comprehensively document and analyze a historical movement as to be capable of defining it. In the aftermath of World War II, which shattered western civilization to a degree unprecedented in human history, it was William Shirer’s monumental “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” which cohesively linked the chain of events that led to the nightmare of Hitler’s Germany. Yet Shirer’s work came as a heartrending post-mortem of the European War, explaining to a yet unbelieving world how such an atrocity could have unfolded in its midst, among ostensibly “civilized” people.

This article needs to be written. I have to admit that I hate doing it because I've been a Glenn Beck supporter for well over a year now. But, alas, my support has waned. Like millions of others I tune in to watch the megastar's TV show almost nightly, listen to his radio broadcast on occasion, and I've bought a couple of his books.

Washington, D.C. - Black activists with the Project 21 leadership network support the right of talk show host Glenn Beck to hold his "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 2010. Because Beck's event takes place on the anniversary and at the location of Dr. Martin Luther King's 1964 "March on Washington" rally, leaders of the establishment civil rights groups oppose the event.

President Obama, in The Audacity of Hope: "What could I say? That a literal reading of the Bible was folly. That Mr. Keyes, a Roman Catholic, should disregard the Pope's teachings? Unwilling to go there, I answered with the usual liberal response in such debates--that we live in a pluralistic society, that I can't impose my religious views on another, that I was running to be a U.S. Senator from Illinois and not the minister of Illinois. But even as I answered, I was mindful of Mr. Keyes's implicit assumption--that I remained steeped in doubt, that my faith was adulterated, that I was not a true Christian."

What would you think if you walked into a public hall, expecting to see a Christian worship service, and saw people prancing around in animal costumes?
