Watch Paralympian ‘Bladerunner’ Oscar Pistorius Outrun a Horse In a Foot Race!

It’s not a ‘foot’ race if there are no feet.
Senior Citizens Protest After Apartment Manager Bans Christmas Trees: ‘Where’s Our Freedom?’

This decision within the company was made by a real person. Identify the person who chose to do this. Don’t let the “company” sheild the responsible person from the public ridicule they justly reserve. Stuff like this won’t stop until people, not companies, start feeling the shame.
Debate Wrap-Up: Obama, Romney Clash on Foreign Policy in Final Meeting Before Election

October 23, 2012 at 11:34am

[Obama:] “And if we’re not making investments in education and basic research, which is not something that the private sector is doing at a sufficient pace right now and has never done, then we will lose the inaudible in things like clean energy technology.”

via Transcript: Third presidential debate – CNN Political Ticker – CNN.com Blogs.

President Obama believes that private sector has never conducted research – that it has only been the government that does research. This is a blatant admission from him that he not believe in the pursuit o happiness, individual initiative or the capitalist system. To him it must be government or nothing. He has no faith in the American people.

The private sector “has never” conducted research? Incredible!
Medical Professionals Explain Why Olympians Are Wearing that Colored Tape (And Why You Probably Shouldn’t)

In reply to LewisLorenz.

The purity of the original reason for the Olympic games is important to preserve. We can debate whether aspirin and clothes should be allowed in the Olympic Games, but we have diminished the games way beyond that by allowing aids that are much more artificial. The height of ridiculousness in these games was allowing a man with no feet to compete in a footrace! With all due respect and compassion for the man’s ability to overcome his obstacles, the Olympics is not a showcase for human technology. Is a place to display natural unassisted athletic abilities. That’s what it was originally intended to do and that’s the goal it has lost sight of today. The Olympic Games would have much more relevance if we returned to its original intent.

Medical Professionals Explain Why Olympians Are Wearing that Colored Tape (And Why You Probably Shouldn’t)

August 10, 2012 at 12:09pm

“The tape is meant to help stabilize their tendons and joints and provide pressure relief.”

The tape provides an unfair advantage to some athletes over those who choose not to use the tape. Like doping, these un-natural aids to athleticism should be banned. The Olympics should celebrate unaltered human athletic ability.
Atheists Demand That MA Public School Band Stop Performing ‘God Bless America’

August 7, 2012 at 8:04am

The lawyer for the atheists says, “The repeated use of the song sends a message to students that the school is endorsing and compelling belief in a god.” A belief that a greater authority designed this world and life in it is a natural conclusion from teaching natural law. This is something the school should be proud of. It means they are doing their job effectively. Stick to your guns, Wayland. It is irrational to lie about the existence of the laws of nature and nature’s God.
Ryan Young, Defender of Pregnant Women, Gets His Job at Safeway Back

May 25, 2012 at 10:05am

Safeway says: “… a physical confrontation between an employee and a customer is something we must take very seriously and examine very carefully.” The problem with zero-tolerance is that it relieves the company from examining these incidents, carefully or cursorily. It is an abandonment of justice – no one at Safeway had the authority to apply the facts to a standard of right and wrong and deal justice to their employee. This end result would have happened earlier without the zero tolerance policy. When zero tolerance is used in schools the message that there is no justice has a destructive impact on children and our nation. We raise generations who don’t understand the concept of “justice for all”. We all suffer for that.
‘Hypocrites’: Sharpton Blasts Black Pastors Who Won’t Support Obama Over His Gay Marriage Stance

May 17, 2012 at 12:06pm

To a point, Mr. Sharpton is correct: any Christian who votes for Barack Obama is being a hypocrite. Mr. Obama supports the vilest form of abortion and fails to protect the life of babies surviving failed abortions. A person like that fails to follow God’s and Jesus’s teachings. It is hypocritical for a minister of Jesus’s word to support such a person and seat them in a position of power in government. Voting for Mr. Obama is not a Christian act.
‘We’re Antagonistic Toward Religious Belief’: Military Atheists Hold Army-Sponsored ‘Rock Beyond Belief’ Festival

April 1, 2012 at 11:59am

Atheists are never able to show the evidence that God does not exist. Why they keep talking is dumbfounding. They defeat their own philosophy. It is easy, using scientific methods, to conclude that belief in God is right. Aside from empirical evidence, even if the reason one believes is that it provides comfort is that not a “good, honest reason to believe”?
Pastor Rick Warren: ‘I’d Go to Jail Rather Than Cave’ to Contraceptive Mandate

You do not have to be amember of a religion to oppose the Obama attack on the 1st Amendment. Every true American should be opposed to it.
