Pastor Warren should be ashamed to request $900,000 from his congregation. His church has afforded him a platform to become extremely wealthy. $900,000 is a drop in the bucket for him and as such in the spirit of giving he should have used his own money giving the shortfall. I am sure the shortfall can be attributed to the down economy which because of his wealth status, he was not affected. Like all the overpaid executives, he is so use to free loading he does not see how selfish this looks. The clock is ticking for members of pastor Rick Warren's California megachurch after the evangelical leader posted an "urgent" letter on his Web site Wednesday calling on congregants to donate a total of $900,000 before the New Year to make up for a massive holiday giving deficit.   "This is an urgent letter unlike any I've written in 30 years," the blog post said. "I have some thrilling news to share with you below but first some seriously bad news." Warren said that … [Read more...]

If Democrats did this they would be accused by the GOP of being traitors. I believe all Americans, Democrats or Republicans love this country. It is unfortunate the GOP uses incidents of terrorism to attempt to question others strength, resolve, or patriotism. It is important that article like these are viewed to neutralize such hypocritical assertions. Some of the same Republican lawmakers currently criticizing the President for softness on terrorism voted back in July 2007 against legislation that, among other reforms, provided $250 million for airport screening and explosive detection equipment. The Improving America's Security Act of 2007 was a relatively non-controversial measure that effectively implemented several un-acted-upon recommendations from the 9/11 Commission. Eighty-five Senators voted in favor of the bill's passage. Seven missed the vote (several of whom were on the campaign trail, including Barack Obama, John McCain and Chris Dodd). Eight Republican Senators, however, voted … [Read more...]

Cheney has no shame. He along with Bush blew our security out the door, destroyed our economy and he has the nerve to comment on current policy? HuffPost Editor Roy Sekoff appeared on MSNBC's The Ed Show tonight to discuss how progressives should respond to false right wing attacks on President Obama that politicize security issues. Sekoff told Schultz that the Left needs to hit back hard with the facts. Singling out Dick Cheney for his particularly harsh, and false, attacks on Obama in the wake of the failed Detroit plane bombing, Sekoff wondered why anyone even listens to Cheney when he "has absolutely no credibility on the issue... Getting lectured on terrorism by Dick Cheney is like getting lectured on parenting by Jon & Kate or fidelity by Tiger Woods." Huff TV: HuffPost Editor Roy Sekoff Blasts Cheney For Latest Attack On Obama (VIDEO) … [Read more...]

We should not be surprised. The Clintons worked through their problems as they vowed to in “till death do us part” while the moral policemen of the GOP continue to change their models continuously. Should we call this the hypocrisy hit parade? No one should revel in the demise of someone’s marriage. However that these morally deficient people constantly try to dictate the lifestyles of gays and others is a travesty. As humans we are flawed and the hypocrisy of these little men, does little to foment moral growth. By Daniel Tencer Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 -- 2:44 pm The progressive blogosphere is having a good laugh at self-professed "traditional marriage" defender Karl Rove, after a Texas court granted the former Bush White House political mastermind his second divorce. The man referred to as "Bush's brain" ended his 24-year marriage to Darby Rove last week, said Dana Perino, the former Bush press secretary and now, apparently, the "family spokeswoman" … [Read more...]

FUNNY. I love my Conservative friends and this is for their constant liberal mailings this week .  So smile please.   By Ken Kupchik Since almost no one is willing to identify with the GOP these days, it can be difficult to diagnose conservatism. Here are some tips to help determine if you are a conservative: 10) You refused to share your toys in kindergarten, saying it would put you on a dangerous path to socialism. 9) You get angry when there are choices for languages on an automated call because you still don't have a good grasp on English. 8) You hate those "elite Hollywood liberals" but refuse to cancel your Netflix account. 7) You go to tea bagger rallies because you have no job thanks to the recession that "started under Obama." 6) You watch Fox News, but unlike most people actually take it seriously. 5) You become absolutely livid about imaginary tax increases. 4) You are against wasteful programs like Medicare, but also against cutting waste … [Read more...]
