The PC Squad probes conservative talk radio
By: Examinar Washington Editorial 05/27/09
It’s received little attention amid House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accusing the CIA of lying, military provocations by the megalomaniacs running Iran and North Korea, and President Obama’s nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. But the frontline in the war being waged by the Left against the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans shifted to the Federal Communications Commission this week. Michael J. Copps, the FCC’s acting chairman, has opened an investigation of radio ratings firm Arbitron. Why? Because Arbitron dared to change the way it measures the audiences listening to individual radio stations, and then reported the results without consideration of their politically incorrect implications.
Intellectual Integrity: Left-wing magazine Writer says Nancy Pelosi had approved waterboarding
Nation writer plays it straight The details: Columnist John Nichols of the left-wing magazine the Nation said very firmly on a radio show Friday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a favorite of the political left, ought to be held to account for her role in tacitly approving waterboarding. By holding his “side” to the same standards he holds conservatives, Nichols struck a blow for fairness.
SINKING SHIP: WHO: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi !!! from the Washington Examiner
San Francisco’s own Pelosi vehemently denied being informed that harsh interrogation techniques such as waterboarding were being used on terror suspects while on the House Intelligence Committee. But a 2007 Washington Post story quotes unnamed Bush administration officials who claim Pelosi was not only told about them in graphic detail during a classified 2002 briefing, but — unlike Rep. Jane Harman — never raised any major objections to their use.

The Majority of Americans May Soon be Hate Criminals!
A Democratic congresswoman's candid remarks in the House Judiciary Committee yesterday bolster the fears of Americans who are concerned they one day may be convicted of a "hate crime" for merely publicly expressing their opposition to homosexuality.
The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act was reported out of the Judiciary Committee yesterday in the House (see earlier story). The bill, which is expected to face a vote in the full House on Wednesday, would add gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability to the list of protected categories under federal hate crimes law.
RALPH PETERS: Fire Janet Napolitano
COL. RALPH PETERS, U.S. ARMY (RET.)/FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR:
She [Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano] needs to be fired for her bigoted attitudes toward our military veterans. Then give her a job at the International House of Pancakes because she’s good with waffles.
Look, Janet “from-another-planet” Napolitano has forbade the use of the term Islamist terrorist or Muslim terrorist within the Department of Homeland Security. In fact, she doesn’t want the word terrorist used at all.
But you’ve read this report, Steve, and I encourage all Americans to read it. It repeatedly warns of our military vets being terrorists. She uses “terrorist.” It warns about people who oppose illegal immigration as being terrorist threats, as people who may differ on right-to-life issues as terrorist threats.
Rosa Brooks: the Pentagon’s far left adviser
By Nile Gardiner, a Washington-based foreign affairs analyst and political commentator. Telegraph of London
In what has to be one of the most extreme appointments yet by the Obama Administration, ex-Los Angeles Times columnist and Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks has just been made an adviser to Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michelle Fluornoy - a move Brooks describes as "my personal government bailout."
Bailout is certainly the right word for someone who appears to have no relevant national security qualifications for the position. She does though have experience working as Special Counsel for George Soros's Open Society Institute in New York, and as a former adviser to Harold Koh, the hugely controversial nominee for Legal Adviser to the State Department.
The United States is a Judeo Christian Nation, If it Ceases to be one it ceases to be a Real Nation!
Let's get our facts in order! First, Obama has it all wrong. We are a Judeo-Christian Country and we don't own allegiance or take orders from any outside government.
The concept of a nation is so notoriously open to controversy that what is normally forgotten is the fact that a nation is first and foremost an idea. It is an idea that springs from the expression of a natural human desire for a community of people with common values and for freedom from dominance over the will and desires of its people in their pursuit of happiness.
The United Sates of America, after successfully defeating its enemy, there arose a unique nation whose people, institutions, guiding philosophy and history, though imperfect, held a promise for both its own citizenry and for the entire world. The United States of America is a nation that unequivocally was created from intentions and ideals matured by Western Civilization. As such, its very survival requires it be guided by an ethos that is particularly and distinctively Judeo-Christian

THE THOUGHT POLICE
For years, the Western world has listened aghast to stories out of Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern nations of citizens being imprisoned or executed for questioning or offending Islam. Even the most seemingly minor infractions elicit draconian punishments. Late last year, two Afghan journalists were sentenced to prison for blasphemy because they translated the Koran into a Farsi dialect that Afghans can read. In Jordan, a poet was arrested for incorporating Koranic verses into his work. And last week, an Egyptian court banned a magazine for running a similar poem.
America’s Not a Christian Nation—and I’m a Fat Black Lesbian Who Hates Hunting
Last week Obama told the planet on his Dixie Chick America Sucks Euro-Tour that ol’ bigheaded America is not and has never been a Christian nation. I believe he said that right after he bowed and curtsied to the Saudi King and told the French that the US has been stuck-up meanies to their jealous and ungrateful Euro-socialist cousins. Damn you, Yankee doodle dandies.
America’s not a Christian nation? Well, it’s not a Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim (yet) or Tai Chi nation. I know Barack is auguring for the USA to become an Obamanation, but heretofore from what I’ve read regarding our founders’ beliefs and original intent for this experiment in self-government, this Republic has a massive intentional Judeo-Christian bent to it and not a religiously neutral one. Stevie Wonder can see that.
