Newt Gingrich Equates Secular Atheism with Radical Islam

Newt Gingrich, in a report by CBN, equated secular atheism with radical Islam saying both are equally passionate about destroying the American way of life. Gingrich said in this CBN report that ``Judeo Christians are under attack on two fronts - on one front you have a secular atheist elitism and on the other front you have radical Islamists and both groups would like to eliminate our civilization if they could - for different reasons but with equal passion``.

This logical understanding along with his historically accurate statement about the Palestinians being an ``invented people`` designation has endeared him to evangelicals and sounds very familiar to folks who take a literal view of scripture and actually know the truth about these issues.

So with these things to consider along with his repentance concerning his marital failures and his promise to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem perhaps he shouldn't be vilified on all fronts - and perhaps the American people wont need to hold their noses too tightly after all when entering the voting booth should Newt get the GOP nod.

BREAKING - Obama Fundraising for Primary Challenge

Rosanne Barr is in - so she says. She's probably joking but it appears the Obama campaign is taking seriously the possibility that a Democrat may run against him in the primary. In fact they are so serious that they are actually fundraising in order to counter any challenge to his incumbency.

Here is a screen shot from the Obama donate page -


Notice it says "By submitting your contribution, you agree that the first $2,500 of a contribution will be designated for the 2012 primary election, and any additional amount, up to $2,500 will be designated for the 2012 general election".

So essentially the Obama campaign is collecting $2500 for the primary and an additional $2500 for the general. That is a total of $5000. Also notice that the "first" $2500 goes to the primary by default. It seems to be their utmost concern at this point ad the website is quick to point this out. For those who are uninformed - the primary is the election which decides who will represent their party in an election. So Obama is anticipating a challenger in the election. The only other alternative is they are double-dipping.

Another angle here is they are actually using the primary money to attack the Republicans under the guise of a primary election expenditure. This is more likely the case. If this really is what's going on here then Obama and his crew are defrauding the American people. They are collecting money designated for the primary election when there is no clear primary challenger and using it to combat potential threats from challenges from other parties. This is the domain of a general election and not a primary and these funds should not be used for the general. Yet the Obama website clearly states that all current donations are sent to the primary fund by default. They are fundraising for the primary - without a primary challenger.

Prince Edward Island Re-elects Party Named After "Mental Disorder"

Liberalism defined here by dictionary.com is a mental disorder - and "unrestricted" lifestyle. Not only does the dictionary agree with this but a number of experts have validated this dictionary definition as well.

Why then did the Liberals win another clear majority in Prince Edward Island? According to the Globe and Mail:
The Liberals came back to power with a trimmed majority in Prince Edward Island Monday, leaving incumbent premier Robert Ghiz facing a resurgent opposition as the province goes into what he called “unknown” economic waters.

The Liberals dropped a pair of districts to win 22 of the legislature's 27 seats. It was a clear victory but considerably less than the sweep predicted earlier in the campaign. The Progressive Conservatives boosted their seat count from two to five, almost certainly protecting the job of embattled Leader Olive Crane.
If, as the dictionary and some experts agree, Liberalism is a mental disorder then why do they keep getting elected and why did they get re-elected with another clear majority? The answer is more simple than one would likely expect - ignorance.

Most people live conservative lives. They self restrict - the polar opposite of Liberalism. They also have jobs, families, responsibilities which limit their ability to do any kind of real research. So they are forced to rely on the media - the liberal media like CBC Radio and Television (the tit which feeds the liberal disease). The political spin-doctors tell people what they want to hear and then do what they want to do when they get elected. It really is that simple.

So they've done it again. The Conservatives (a party named after the facts of life) did make some gains and will have a stronger voice in P.E.I. but the good people on the Island of fresh lobster and shrimp - of red mud and cold winters - will contiue to live conservative lives until the next election when they will be handed a bunch of conservative-based promises from all parties - with only one actually willing to deliver. And maybe next time the people of P.E.I. will actually vote for the party they mean to instead of the party by whom they've been lied to.

Planting a seed... N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue suggests suspending elections!

Newsobserver.com

Speaking to a Cary rotary club today, N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue suggested suspending Congressional elections for two years so that Congress can focus on economic recovery and not the next election.

"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that," Perdue said. "You want people who don't worry about the next election."

(Read her full remarks below.)

The comment -- which came during a discussion of the economy -- perked more than a few ears. It's unclear whether Perdue, a Democrat, is serious -- but her tone was level and she asked others to support her on the idea.

Later Tuesday afternoon, Perdue's office clarified the remarks: "Come on," said spokeswoman Chris Mackey in a statement. "Gov. Perdue was obviously using hyperbole to highlight what we can all agree is a serious problem: Washington politicians who focus on their own election instead of what’s best for the people they serve."

The Republicans sure are taking it seriously as they look to score political points. Here's a statement from GOP spokesman Rob Lockwood:

“Now is a time when politicians need to be held accountable more than ever. To suspend an election would be removing the surest mechanism that people have to hold politicians accountable: the right to vote. Does the Governor not believe that people of North Carolina have the ability to think for themselves about whether or not the actions of elected officials are working?"

UPDATED: GOP House candidate Paul Coble didn't think much of Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue's idea that congressional elections be suspended for two years so Congress can concentrate on the economy.

“That’s a proposal that only the politicians that have worsened our economic mess could appreciate,” said Coble, who is chairman of the Wake County commissioners. “Governor Perdue and the politicians in Washington may fear the message voters send next November.”

Perdue's full statement:

"You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to work together and to get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing things. I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that. The one good thing about Raleigh is that for so many years we worked across party lines. It's a little bit more contentious now but it's not impossible to try to do what's right in this state. You want people who don't worry about the next election."
