Pro-Abortion Snyder Expecting Triplets...Changing Mind on Abortion?

Not likely. The following is a from a release from Congressman Snyder.

"Please be advised that my wife Rev. Betsy Singleton is 10 ½ weeks pregnant with triplets. Obviously the pregnancy is still very early, but so far everything and everyone looks fine. We appreciate all the good thoughts and prayers now and in the weeks and months to come. And yes, we did say Triplets.”

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it appears that Snyder is referring to his triplets as people, not unviable tissue masses. 10 1/2 weeks is well within the first trimester. That being said, has he changed his view on abortion?

I really do want to congratulate the congressman, but I have to wonder about this apparent hypocrisy.

Brantley: It's the Supreme Court, Stupid

That's very true. It's important to consider what kind of justices Brantley wants on the court. Here's a few examples of the things his dream justices support: the abolition of the 2nd Amendment, protecting child rapists and terrorists.

Just a little something to consider when reading his accurate description that the Supreme Court is the most important issue in any presidential election.

2nd Amendment Upheld: Thank You, President Bush

For all of you know-it-all cynics out there, you owe President Bush a debt of gratitude. His appointment of Sam Alito shifted the balance of the supreme court, which brought us this week's Heller decision and the partial birth abortion decision.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Louisiana Responds to Supreme Court Pro-Child Rapist Decision: Castration

Heroes of the Left

Are you reading this, Max?

The judges you and your lib buddies support are in favor of rights for terrorists, rights for child rapists...but not for law abiding Americans?

The right of Americans to keep and bear arms is clearly enumerated in the Constitution and, somehow, liberals can't see it. Meanwhile, I still haven't found the part where it says that terrorist captured and detained overseas and child rapists have special rights...

Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less! Sign the Petition

Yesterday, I was pleased to bring you the story that four brave leaders of our Republican Caucus were taking a stand on dealing with the out of control cost of fuel. I want to echo their sentiment by encouraging you to sign the petition, too. Here's the link.

Democrats in our own state have mocked these four. Like liberals around the country they're claiming that drilling in the U.S. won't help alleviate the problem, today. I'd like to know what they think will. Seems that their only solution is to raise taxes on oil companies (i.e. consumers). I'm not sure how they think that will do anything but raise prices. More on this later.

High Gas Prices: Common Sense From Arkansas's Republican Caucus Leaders

This is very encouraging. With gas prices at $4.00/gallon, it's time to demand action to increase supply. It's very good to see the leadership coming from our Republican Caucus leaders. Read their press release below.

---

LITTLE ROCK – Several Republican state representatives issued a joint statement today, recommending that the federal government take immediate action in order to lower the price of gasoline.

"We're approaching a scenario where $4.00 a gallon is a cheap price for gas. And when Congressional Democrats propose nationalizing our fuel industry or burdening it with increased taxes and wasteful mandates, they are kicking our economy when it's already down. The only way to lower the price of energy is to lower production barriers and inefficient mandates and thereby increase the number of energy suppliers," said Reps. Dan Greenberg, Bryan King, Roy Ragland, and Jon Woods.

"The USA is the only country in the world with access to proven oil reserves on its land and off its shores that refuses to take advantage of its resources. If we use reasonable environmental protection measures, technological advances could grant us access to over a trillion barrels of domestic oil – enough to meet our energy needs for a century – without relying on unstable foreign countries and greedy foreign cartels, and while preserving our environment for our future generations," the lawmakers said.

"We are just four of the one million Americans who have signed the pledge and support the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" initiative (available online at www.AmericanSolutions.com/DrillNow), which supports the exploration of proven domestic energy reserves and reduces our dependence on unstable foreign countries," the lawmakers said. "We ask other citizens to sign this pledge, so that hard-working Arkansans won't get hit in the wallet every time they go to the gas station. We also believe we need to reduce impediments to energy production on a variety of fronts."

"First, we need to expedite the approval process for refineries. The last oil refinery was built during the Ford Administration; none have been built since because of a U.S. legal system that stifles progress and innovation and allows delay for almost any reason imaginable. We are currently forced to import refined fuel from other countries because of insufficient domestic refining capabilities. Second, we need to reduce or eliminate the wasteful biofuel mandates and requirements that are driving up both the price of food and the cost of fuel. The success we had in cutting the food tax last session has been offset by higher food prices, created by short-sighted government regulations, we see the results of every time we go through the grocery checkout line. Finally, we need to examine the successes of Western Europe that have been based on environmentally friendly nuclear power," the statement said.

"In short, these are much more palatable, serious, and productive solutions than the failed ideas currently on the table: higher taxes on energy companies, socializing energy production, and unsuccessfully begging Saudi Arabia to pump another half-million barrels of oil every day. We would be much better off increasing our own domestic production capacity, and we urge the federal government to take action on this front immediately," the statement said.

Maybe the health nazis have a point. Just look at what junk food has driven this kid to do...

A favorite reader of mine sent me a link to Governor Beebe's GLOBAL WARMING!!! commission website.

Look for higher fuel costs, taxes, and regulations to be recommended.

Even though the Earth is currently at a 10 year low temperature, which has put us back to below where we started the 20th century in temperature, even though ice core data shows a several hundred year lag of carbon in the atmosphere behind temperature spikes, even though...I could go on for days...our governor is happy to push this hoax on us with our own money paying for this red herring project.

Ten Cannots

Rev. William J. H. Boetcker. an outspoken political conservative is perhaps best remembered for his authorship of a pamphlet entitled The Ten Cannots; originally published in 1916. The Ten Cannots" has been repeated many times, most notably by Ronald Reagan in a speech he gave at the 1992 Republican convention in Houston. I think we need to remember each and every one of them.

• You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
• You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
• You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
• You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
• You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
• You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
• You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
• You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
• You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.
• And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

Hey, I have an idea. How about Governor Beebe look for a way to increase the budgets of Arkansas taxpayers, instead. Nope, he can't do that. He has to have new roads and we'll end up footing the bill. The government keeps on growing. Why doesn't the governor look at taxpayers struggling in a slow economy and see the need to make government cut back so we can have a budget increase?

Obama: Muslim Call to Prayer "One of the Prettiest Sounds on Earth at Sunset", Chants Prayer in Arabic Accent

The following is from an email I received from a reader.

---

In a free-ranging interview with the New York Times, Obama described the Muslim call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset." The Times' Nicholos Kristof wrote Obama recited, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent," the opening lines of the Muslim call to prayer. The first few lines of the call to prayer state:

"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!

I witness that there is no god but Allah

I witness that there is no god but Allah

I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... "
