William Ayers: His Musings and Philosophies

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

By his own definition, he is still a terrorist.

Last night, I spent time on William Ayers blog site. Remarkably, I found myself engrossed at his ramblings and his lack of contrition for his past, present, and even future acts. For those who don’t know who William Ayers is, he is one of the founders of the Weathermen Underground radical groups of the 60′s and 70′s. Three of those members were killed in a bomb explosion as they were building devices to detonate and kill countless numbers of American citizens, political figures, or who knows who else.

Nothing about these people would lead you to believe that they were any different than anyone else. Yet, their belief in a Creator, somehow discounts these people as “less than” those who have been “enlightened” by whatever means that they became as such. Obviously, “enlightenment” means that there is no longer a need for God in their lives. (more…)

Arianna Huffington: Silencing the Conservatives

Why Conservative Views Are Simply “Not Wanted”

Arianna Huffington and her “Self-Loathing Liberal Media” article in the Huffington Post has ignited a firestorm of criticism. Howard Kurtz has hit a sore spot no doubt with his rebuttal of Arianna’s viewpoint on “sleeping with the enemy”. The backlash from Liberals will no doubt end this week, however the illustration of Liberal, agenda-driven drivel no doubt will continue for quite some time as we get closer to the General Election.
