• Family Spends $1.5 Million on College for Five Daughters

  May 19, 2012 at 5:19pm

  Quote: **** “We’re fortunate that we can take care of it,” Beverly said, according to ABC. “We decided a long time ago we didn’t want the girls to take out college loans, so that was our commitment to them.” ****
  When I was @ the age of entering college (70′s), it never dawned on my parents – or any of my friends parents – 2 take financial responsibility 4 their kid’s college expenses. None of the parents would entertain the thought of taking a second mortgage or subsidize their kids frills @ university back then. Coming of age came with responsibility. If I wanted a car or college edu – no problem – my folks knew I would just come up with a way 2 pay for it – by myself. I worked three jobs during the summer and full time nights to put myself through – as did many of my friends.
  “Keeping up with the Jones’” mentality should have been tossed in2 the heap of very very bad ideas when student loans became fashionable. Instead that generation grew up to raise ‘over achievers’ whose self esteem was coddled above earned achievement. Trophies 4participation were provided 2 soften the blow 2 egos of those who wouldn’t/couldn’t earn awards 4real achievement .
  And so, here we are, with the Fluke generation, refusing 2take on personal responsibility and learning from consequences 2their decisions, demanding their “due” at taxpayers expense. If a kid is responsible enough 2get behind the wheel, or consume alcohol, they should be responsible en

• ‘Almost Perfectly Preserved’ WWII Fighter Discovered in Sahara Desert — 70 Years After Disappearing

  First impression upon seeing this thread . . .the movie “The English Patient” and the scene with the main character, cartologist Count Almásy (Ralph Fiennes) at the scene of the plane crashed in the Sahara desert near his camp, then attempting to find shelter for his injured lover Katharine Clifton (Kristin Scott-Thomas) so he could he trek out on foot through the desert to seek medical assistance for her.

• Beck & Gen. Boykin Explore Muslim Brotherhood‘s Grip on America In Upcoming ’Rumors of War III’ Documentary

  On March 1, the FBI stopped sharing vital terror intel with state and local officials without explanation. The 9/11 Gorelik wall is back . . . http://tinyurl.com/6qg25t6
  Beck isn’t alone with serious concerns about this. “Stakelbeck on Terror” also examines the Muslim Brotherhood’s alarming recent strides in the U.S, including a visit by a Brotherhood delegation to the White House to meet with Obama Regime officials. Also exposed is how radical, Brotherhood-linked American proxies like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MSA are benefiting from the group’s newfound ‘mainstream’ status.

  Som differences between Kosher vs. Halal :
  Kosher – requires the animal be slaughtered quickly and humanely, strictly forbidding cruel slow methods like strangulation.

  Halal – requires the animal be bled out in agony while sick people who get off watching that kind of thing have a “festival.”

  Kosher – requires the blood be drained cleanly from the *carcass* of the humanely killed animal, removing toxins released from cells into the bloodstream at the moment of death from the meat.

  Halal – leaves the meat *filled* with toxins released at the moment of death because the blood is removed while the animal is dying and therefore is not present in sufficient quantities to remove those last toxins.

  Kosher – contains little to no cortisol or norepenepherine (two stress chemicals that are similar enough from mammal to mammal to cross species) because the animal to be killed is treated well before it is put down and is generally not frightened as it is put down (because in a truly kosher slaughter situation, animals cannot be slaughtered in a sequential fashion, as the waste of one could contaminate the next, so they are not exposed to the “scent of death” the way non-kosher culls are)

  Halal – animals watch other animals die during the blood letting festival, smelling their fear and raising their own stress. These stress chemicals “marinate” the meat in hormones known to raise levels of aggression and violence in nearly all mammal species (includ

  Arab-Islamic nationalism and prostitution

  Syrian / Lebanese Arab immigration into the area is more concentrated in ‘Barranquilla, Cartagena, Santa Marta, and Maicao.’ The bordering city with Venezuela – Maicao (Col) market is probably 90% Arab.

  Though not all Arabs in south America are “political,” and some are not Muslim, yet, the Arab-Islamic Hezbollah growing phenomenon in Latin America -in recent years- certainly sharpened Arab nationalism which is today very militant-Islamic in nature. A 2008 drug probe finds Hezbollah financing link and a 2009 report shows Hezbollah has active cell on Colombia-Venezuela border.

  So did Chavez’s anti-Americanism, exploiting it, and embedding it into his “anti-Imperialism” sentiments. His pro-Arabism showed such strength that in 2009, a Kuwaiti MP “called to move Arab League to Venezuela.“ Stating he ”has proved that he was more Arab than some Arabs.”

• Was ‘American Idol’ Right to Reportedly Warn Contestants to ‘Beware of Political & Religious Tweets?’

  March 16, 2012 at 8:41pm

  The last time I paid any attention to American Idol, the two top winners, Scotty McCreery & Lauren Alaina were both consistently animated about their beliefs – and most likely won the audience over with their healthy all-American God-loving personalities. It’s more likely the judges were attempting to level the competition since overt religious beliefs appear to provide an advantage to religious competitors. It just proves America believes in God despite all of Hollywood’s, the msm & statist academia’s attempts to undermine it. God bless America!

• These Are the ‘Top Conservative Colleges’ in the U.S.

  Given so many on the list are Catholic institutions, one wonders where are the medical sciences? With ObamaCare threatening to undermine and close Catholic hospitals . . .this is disturbing.

  “Kony 2012” during an election year is just going to confuse. Shouldn‘t the slogan for poster’s, billboards, bracelets etc. be “Get Kony” or “Arrest Kony” or “Kill Kony” instead to make it’s point clearly?

  Devastating. Incomprehensible. It’s difficult to express the sadness this news brings. We lost a GIANT advocate for truth, justice and the American way today. May his family and friends and all those who followed his work find comfort in God. Rest in Peace, Andrew. You are already missed.
