American Economy Improving-That's Simply Not True |
|
From The AmericanProgress.org: "We are learning the hard way that Wall Street, the economy, and the labor market are three separate things. While Wall Street enjoyed a bright spring, the economy continues to struggle, and job losses still mount.The economy may be nearing its bottom, but it hasn’t reached it yet."
1. The U.S. economy shrinks quickly. 2. Massive job losses continue. 3. Unemployment stays high among the most vulnerable. 4. Unemployed are out of a job for record lengths. 5. After-tax income grows because of public support. 6. Benefits decreased before the crisis. 7. Family wealth disappears at record pace. 8. The housing market is still sputtering. 9. Mortgage troubles mount. 10. Families feel the pressure. To read more, please visit AmericanProgress.org

As U.S. recession bites, Ohio hopes fade for Obama |
|
From Reuters: "A Quinnipiac University opinion poll released on July 7 showed the Democratic president's popularity in America's seventh most populous state had fallen to 49 percent from 62 per cent in May. Even worse for Obama, 48 percent said they disapproved of his handling of the U.S. economy, with 46 percent approving. The reason for the poll drop? Rising unemployment."

Kevin O'Brien: "Islamic terrorists haven't been riding this high in almost eight years. |
| Saturday, 29 August 2009 | From The Plain Dealer:
"On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, they were riding United and American at roughly 900 feet when they hit the World Trade Center; lower when they hit the Pentagon. By that afternoon, the terror masters and their foot soldiers were in the stratosphere, having sucker-punched the Great Satan. Since then, it has been all downhill: bases destroyed, communications disrupted, leaders captured, thousands of lackeys killed, supportive tyrants deposed and entire countries lost. Suddenly, though, it looks as if our enemies -- the people who live and die to kill Americans -- are once again ascendant. It's a great week to be an America-hating terrorist."

Do we really want to be like Europe? |
| Saturday, 29 August 2009 |
From Richard Dawkins.net:
"With 40 minutes to go before show time, the 500-seat Alexis de Tocqueville auditorium was already packed. A fan set up a video camera in the front row. A sound engineer checked the microphones.
The star: Michel Onfray, celebrity philosopher and France's high priest of militant atheism. Dressed entirely in black, he strode onto the stage and looked out at the reverential audience for his weekly two-hour lecture series, "Hedonist Philosophy," which is broadcast on a state radio station. "I could found a religion," he said.
Mr. Onfray, 48 years old and author of 32 books, stands in the vanguard of a curious and increasingly potent phenomenon in Europe: zealous disbelief in God.
Passive indifference to faith has left Europe's churches mostly empty. " |

Homeschooled girl ordered to attend public school over her rigid faith |
From The Christian Post:
"Amanda Kurowski is a 10-year-old homeschooled girl who performs well academically and is socially well-adjusted. But her strong Christian beliefs were reason enough for a New Hampshire court to order her out of homeschooling and into a public school."

"CDC discontinued reporting of individual confirmed and probable cases of 2009 H1N1 infection on July 24, 2009."
Could that be because the swine flu is now so widespread, it's impossible to track?

The Death of Freedom: Will Obama appointees now determine what Christian Radio stations discuss |
| Saturday, 29 August 2009 | From The Catholic Radio Association:
"Over the past several months many press stories and radio programs have been dedicated to the threat to freedom of speech by a federal law re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine. The fundamental thrust of this proposed law would mandate opposing points of view be aired on all radio stations covering an issue, i.e., if a station runs a program concerning the sanctity of marriage as an institution of man and woman, it would have to run the opposing view. |
If adopted, such a law would obviously wreak havoc on Catholic broadcasters. Fortunately, all indications are that this proposal will not find its way into law. A much more insidious proposal, however, likely will. While most broadcasters and civil libertarians have focused on the detrimental effects of the Fairness Doctrine, a back door effort has been underway. |
Such an effort will destroy Catholic Radio and eliminate one of the most effective tools for the upbuilding of the Church and the conversion of our culture! The Culture of Death would gain free reign over the media!
For over a year the FCC has been quietly going through its internal steps of a rulemaking proceeding to change broadcast rules, under the title of “Report on Broadcast Localism and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” (Localism). Euphemisms like “localism” and “choice” denote something good. Who could be against choice? Who could be against local broadcasting? Wouldn’t a diverse availability of programming be good for the consumer? The reality of the effect of the rules will be quite different. Ironically, the Localism rule changes would impose onerous new regulations that would result in less local and less diverse programming on both secular and religious stations. Such rules would amount to a restriction, not only of free speech rights, but of religious liberty enshrined in the First Amendment and destroy Catholic radio! Among the requirements advocated by the Localism proceeding are: Ø 24/7 staffing of stations (Localism, 29) Ø A required minimum time of locally produced programming and of programming dedicated to addressing local issues.
(Localism, 40,41, 69) Ø Permanent Advisory Boards composed of “officials and other leaders from the service area” of the station who would determine whether the station was meeting local programming needs." |
