			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most of us, <em>at least those of us not afflicted by the muddy thinking of the climate-change cult</em>, this is simply video confirmation of what we already knew; that &#8220;climate change&#8221; is just an excuse to implement totalitarian anti-capitalistic government control.  It&#8217;s clear that some in the movement are sick of the subterfuge and are finally coming out of the closet.  I don&#8217;t agree with their politics or agenda but I respect them more than Al Gore and his dooms-day followers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.rationalistinternational.net/associates/images/c_hitchens.jpg" title="Christopher Hitchens" alt="Christopher Hitchens" align="left" height="190" width="228" />As usual, Christopher Hitchens is spot on with his insightful and biting commentary.  It sounds like his patience is wearing thin and he isn’t pulling any punches in his latest analysis of the Glasgow airport and London car-bomb plots.</p>
<p>At one point Hitchens states, “<em>Liberal reluctance to confront this sheer horror is the result, I think, of a deep reticence about some furtive concept of &#8220;race.&#8221; It is subconsciously assumed that a critique of political Islam is an attack on people with brown skins.</em>”   He later added, “<em>The least we can do, confronted by such radical evil, is to look it in the eye (something it strives to avoid) and call it by its right name.</em>”<span id="more-32"></span></p>
<p>I couldn’t agree more.  Read the whole article <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2169592/" title="Don't Mince Words" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we have an upcoming Presidential election and the candidates are all pandering to the polls and trying to distinguish themselves in anyway they can.  It’s gotten so bad that John Edwards, a mainstream Democrat candidate, actually had the gall to call the war on terror a “<em>bumper sticker</em>” slogan and he rejected the notion that there even is a “global war on terror.”  At one point he called it an “<em>ideological doctrine</em>” which has been advanced by the Bush administration and he suggested that it has strained American military resources and emboldened terrorists.</p>
<p>Mr. Edwards&#8217; statements may seem shocking but the other candidates aren&#8217;t far behind him ideologically &#8211; even the Republicans.  Unfortunately, it appears nothing short of a successful attack will wake these politicians, and this country.  I pray it never happens and we collectively continue to sleep; embracing the dream that nothing is wrong and that Islam is peace.  More likely than not, one day soon our law enforcement or intelligence operatives will miss something seemingly minor and we will all suffer the consequences.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were all wondering when it would happen. At least for one reporter, the constant and relentless pounding of the Paris Hilton tripe which qualifies as modern day “Breaking News”, has finally reached its saturation point.</p>
<p>Mika Brzezinski, from MSNBC, finally had enough yesterday. On live air, she rebelled against the show’s producers by refusing to read a lead story about Paris Hilton and at one point attempted to set fire to paper which contained the story. After another reporter managed to wrestle the story away she calmed somewhat and settled for simply shredding the document.</p>
