Former press aide rips Bush, Cheney in CIA leak
NEW BOOK | They misled public, McClellan says

November 21, 2007
BY MATT APUZZO

WASHINGTON -- Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan blames President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for efforts to mislead the public about the role of White House aides in leaking the identity of a CIA operative.

In an excerpt from his forthcoming book, McClellan recounts the 2003 news conference in which he told reporters that aides Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby were ''not involved'' in the leak involving operative Valerie Plame.

"There was one problem. It was not true," McClellan writes, according to a brief excerpt released Tuesday. "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself."

Romney Open to Incarcerating Abortionists
By Terence P. Jeffrey
CNSNews.com Editor in Chief
November 21, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - The presidential campaign of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told Cybercast News Service on Wednesday that Romney does not favor punishing women who have abortions but does favor punishing abortionists, perhaps even with incarceration.

The description of Romney's abortion policy was made in a statement that Romney Communications Director Matt Rhoades issued to Cybercast News Service after Cybercast News Service asked a Romney spokesman about an answer Romney had given in a Nov. 19 interview with Human Events.

"Several of your rivals said they opposed criminalizing abortion, by putting the women or the doctors involved in jail. Do you agree?" Human Events asked Romney:

Thankful to God for America
By J. James Estrada
[An American Thinker Classic]

From the Pilgrims' William Bradford to George Washington to George W. Bush, I am thankful that this nation is led by those who recognize the hand of God that both guides and provides. May His blessings be abundant in your homes and communities this and every year we observe Thanksgiving and remember its commencing.

"Being thus arrived in a good harbor, and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth."

So is the tale of the 103 souls of the tiny ship Mayflower which sailed from England to America in 1620. The journey across the Atlantic took over two months. Missing its intended destination of Jamestown, the Mayflower landed instead at Plymouth Rock. The fierce winds had blown them off course, but had it really?

JFK assassination plot uncovered in Chicago?
Ex-Secret Service agent reveals tip caused president to change travel plans 3 weeks before Dallas shooting
Posted: November 22, 2007
9:00 p.m. Eastern

Lee Harvey Oswald, Dallas and Nov. 22, 1963, would never have become etched into the minds of millions of Americans if a plot – revealed by an ex-Secret Service agent – to kill President John F. Kennedy in Chicago three weeks earlier had been successful.

Former agent Abraham Bolden, 72, told Chicago ABC affiliate, WLS-TV, Kennedy was waved off from a much-publicized visit to Chicago on Nov. 2, 1963, to attend the Army-Air Force football game at Soldier Field and ride in a parade after the Secret Service received a report from a motel manager who told of seeing several automatic weapons with telescopic sights on the bed of a room rented to several Cuban nationals. They had an outline of the route Kennedy was to follow from O'Hare airport that would take his motorcade past the motel. The route had been printed in Chicago newspapers.

Bolden, a former Illinois state trooper, was the first black agent to protect a president.

ICE Agents Secretly Reassigned by Bush Administration

Jim Kouri, CPP

The latest news not being covered by the mainstream news media is President George W. Bush's reassignment of some 1,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to work as U.S. Customs officers.

News of this reassignment began to leak out after a press conference by Julie L. Myers, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for ICE, announcing that special agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had executed criminal search warrants at Koch Foods in Fairfield, Ohio.

ICE identified more than 180 Koch employees working at the Fairfield plant requiring further questioning and administratively arrested more than 160 for immigration violations. ICE agents simultaneously executed criminal search warrants at Koch's corporate office in Chicago.

Embattled Oral Roberts University President Resigns

Friday, November 23, 2007

TULSA, Okla. — The embattled president of Oral Roberts University resigned from his position Friday, officials said.

Richard Roberts' resignation is effective immediately, according to a statement e-mailed from George Pearsons, chairman of the school's Board of Regents.

Roberts and the university have come under fire since a lawsuit was filed by three former professors accusing him, among other things, of misusing school funds to support a lavish lifestyle.

A new poll finds Americans overwhelmingly prefer that stores use the phrase "Merry Christmas" in their seasonal advertising rather than "Happy Holidays.

The Rasmussen survey found 67 percent favor "Merry Christmas" while just 26 percent prefer "Happy Holidays."

Rasmussen said the poll results were the same for males and females, and there were few demographic differences.

America becoming conspiracy nation
Survey finds growing numbers seeking alternative explanations
Posted: November 24, 2007
7:50 p.m. Eastern

If you believe the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon came without any specific warning, a new poll says the person on your left and the person on your right think you're wrong.

Almost two-thirds of Americans think it is possible some officials in the federal government had specific information about the pending attacks, but chose to ignore it and take no action to protect the country, according to a Scripps Howard News Service/Ohio University poll.

The national survey of more than 800 U.S. adults conducted by Scripps Survey Research Center at Ohio University echoes a similar one by the same organization in 2006 that found more than a third of Americans believing the U.S. government somehow assisted in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, or else took no steps to stop them from occurring, so the Bush administration could launch a war in the Middle East.

The Odd Alliance Supporting Ron Paul
By Andrew Walden

Here and there, the mainstream media is noticing the disturbingly enthusiastic support coming Ron Paul's way from distateful quarters. In a November 20 column titled "Ron Paul isn't that scary", LA Times columnist Jonah Goldberg calls stories about Ron Paul's racist and 9-11 truther supporters "overblown", but he does let slip the following:

"Republican consultant David Hill condemns the candidate's ‘increasingly leftish' positions. Syndicated columnist Mona Charen calls Paul ‘too cozy with kooks and conspiracy theorists.' Film critic and talk radio host Michael Medved looks over Paul's supporters and finds ‘an imposing collection of neo-Nazis, white Supremacists, Holocaust deniers, 9/11 'truthers' and other paranoid and discredited conspiracists.'"

GQ magazine just named Ron Paul one of its "Men of the Year." Yep, the man described on the website of ex-KKK honcho and convicted fraudster David Duke as "our king" is now officially a male trend setter.

US Attorney Sutton Misrepresents Circumstances of Ramos/Compean Case

Michael Cutler

Osvaldo Aldrete Davila, a Mexican citizen who has been charged with conspiracy to distribute hundreds of pounds of marijuana in the United States between June 2005 and November 2005, has been arraigned on numerous smuggling charges in federal court in El Paso, Texas. What makes this seemingly routine matter anything but routine is that Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean are now serving up to 15 years in prison for having tried to arrest this man some time ago.

Agents Ramos and Compean were involved in an incident in which they fired a number of shots at this alleged smuggler after they attempted to stop him when he was found on the U.S. side of the Mexican border. Davila resisted arrest and then, according to the agents, spun around and pointed an object at them. They stated they believed he was holding a weapon and was about to shoot them. In short, they say they were acting in self defense. This is a reasonable concern; and it is my opinion that it’s entirely likely that Aldrete Davila was armed because, after the incident, the vehicle he was driving just before the encounter was found to have hundreds of pounds of marijuana concealed within it. In my many years of experience in dealing with drug traffickers, it is virtually unheard of that a drug trafficker or smuggler would be moving a significant load of illicit drugs or cash and not be armed to protect his cargo.

According to the account of the Border Patrol agents, they did not believe they had struck him with their bullets and, therefore, they did not file a written report of the incident to their superiors but believed that their boss who showed up minutes after the incident knew that shots had been fired. While it may well be that these two agents committed an administrative infraction where the failure to file a report is concerned, the incredible thing about this event is that they were charged with “using firearms in the commission of a crime.”

Cheney has irregular heartbeat

By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent 19 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, experienced an irregular heartbeat Monday and was taken to George Washington University Hospital for evaluation.

The condition was detected when Cheney was seen by doctors around 7 a.m. at the White House for a lingering cough from a cold. He remained at work throughout the day, joining President Bush in meetings with Mideast leaders.

"During examination he was incidentally found to have an irregular heartbeat, which on further testing was determined to be atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart," said spokeswoman Megan Mitchell.

A Bible study on illegal immigration

.......Ultimately, the purpose of nation-states seems to be to restrain Satan's efforts at creating his kingdom on earth. That will happen eventually – only when God Himself permits it in His timing, as shown in Revelation 17:17: "For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled." But nation-states serve another purpose as well – to be God's instruments on earth for meting out justice and providing protection for the people. (Deuteronomy 17:14-17)

Ultimately, the debate about borders and illegal immigration is a debate about national sovereignty. You have heard it said that if we don't have borders, we don't have countries. It's really true – especially when two countries very different from one another in language, culture and economy share a 2,000-mile border as do Mexico and the U.S.

Illegal immigration didn't just happen because no one was paying attention. President Bush made it clear on any number of occasions that he believed it made good economic sense to allow millions and millions of illegal aliens to enter our country, in spite of our laws, because they were willing to do work Americans weren't willing to do.

Clinton Calls on Powell

November 27, 2007 11:59 AM

ABC News' Eloise Harper and Teddy Davis Report: Hillary Clinton often talks about sending her husband around the world to conduct diplomacy but on Tuesday, the Senator said she would also call on Colin Powell.

"I have said I won't even wait until I'm inaugurated, but as soon as I'm elected I'm going to be asking distinguished Americans of both parties -- people like Colin Powell, for example -- and others who can represent our country well, including someone I know very well," Clinton told the predominantly black audience after receiving the endorsement of dozens of South Carolina ministers.

Contacted by ABC News' Teddy Davis, Gen. Colin Powell was tight-lipped Tuesday when asked if he is open to Clinton's invitation.

Begging forgiveness of Islam?
It was predictable in this age of wishful thinking.
Posted: November 27, 2007
1:00 a.m. Eastern

After 138 Muslim leaders last month wrote an open letter to Christendom calling ostensibly for peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding, self-proclaimed Christian leaders and other celebrity Christians took the bait.

The appropriate response would have been to search their own Scriptures, to get down on their knees to beseech God to give them wisdom, to seek the counsel of others, particularly those expert on Islam, history and the persecution of the church in Muslim lands. Instead, some get-along-with-the-world Christians apologized for the past and current actions of their fellow churchmen in defending their lives and their beliefs against Islamic aggression and terror.

Among more than 100 theologians, ministry leaders and prominent pastors, signing the letter were Jim Wallis, president of Sojourners, Rick Warren, senior pastor of Saddleback Church and Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals.

Bill Clinton Flatly Asserts He Opposed War at Start

By PATRICK HEALY
Published: November 28, 2007

During a campaign swing for his wife, former President Bill Clinton said flatly yesterday that he opposed the war in Iraq “from the beginning” — and is more absolute than his comments before the invasion in March 2003.

Before the invasion, Mr. Clinton did not precisely declare that he opposed the war. A week before military action began, however, he did say that he preferred to give weapons inspections more time and that an invasion was not necessary to topple Saddam Hussein.

At the same time, he also spoke supportively about the 2002 Senate resolution that authorized military action against Iraq.

Republicans Report Much Better Mental Health Than Others
Relationship persists even when controlling for other variables

by Frank Newport
Page:123

PRINCETON, NJ -- Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent, according to data from the last four November Gallup Health and Healthcare polls. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having excellent mental health, compared to 43% of independents and 38% of Democrats. This relationship between party identification and reports of excellent mental health persists even within categories of income, age, gender, church attendance, and education.

The basic data -- based on an aggregated sample of more than 4,000 interviews conducted since 2004 -- are straightforward.

The differences are quite significant, as can be seen. While Democrats are slightly less likely to report excellent mental health than are independents, the big distinctions in these data are the differences between Republicans and everyone else.
