“We are under a great assault with this President and this Congress on the issue of life. We are under a great assault, maybe even greater assault, on the foundational issue of the family,” Santorum told those gathered…
Santorum said that the left’s policies, especially those policies aggressively set forward by the Obama administration, target the family and Christian churches for “destruction,”…

The CIA has invested in a firm called “Visible Technologies” that specializes on monitoring social network sites.
Wired reporter Noah Schactman writes: “America’s spy agencies want to read your blog posts, keep track of your Twitter updates — even check out your book reviews on Amazon.”
That’s the lead sentence to a new article on the website of Wired Magazine titled “U.S. Spies Buy Stake in Firm That Monitors Blogs, Tweets.”
They think it would be irresponsible not to do this.
Lewis Shepherd, the former senior technology officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency, says in an e-mail: …

One wonders if the former president will continue to motivate people to elect Democrats.
The 43rd President and his wife, Laura, have signed on to the popular “Get Motivated” seminar program. Bush will headline his first event this Monday in Forth Worth, Tex., then follow it up with an appearance in San Antonio in December.
“Maybe it can be like, ‘Do what I say, not what I do,’” University of Virginia political science Prof. Larry Sabato cracked of Bush, whose approval rating at the end of his presidency dipped to a dismal 22%. “Or maybe it’ll be, ‘I’m the …

Speaking at the Center for Security Policy, former Vice President Dick Cheney received the “Keeper of the Flame” award, for “those individuals who have enhanced American security through their commitment to a strong military, the propagation of democracy and respect for individual rights throughout the world.” Also receiving an award was convicted but commuted felon Lewis I. “Scooter” Libby. Cheney lost no time bashing Obama.
Speaking of strategy in Afghanistan, former Vice President Cheney said, “President Obama now seems afraid to make a decision, and unable to provide his commander on the ground with the troops he needs …

Connecticut Republicans created 33 phony Twitter accounts in the name of Democrats to send out phony messages mocking Democratic policies. Paddy at the Carnival caught it. And the state Republican chairman (right) doesn’t even get how wrong this is.
“That’s unfortunate,” was state Republican Chairman Chris Healy’s response when told of Twitter, Inc.’s decision. “I’m not quite sure what the issue is, other than that the Democrats were successful in stopping free speech.”
Healy’s party may have suffered a setback with the loss of its Twitter campaign, but Republicans are still operating the 33 Web sites they created using …

Eric Williamson, 29, from Northern Virginia, made the mistake of being naked in his kitchen.
Fairfax county police say a woman and a 7-year-old boy were walking by the front window around the same time.
The woman called police to report the incident.
Officers say they arrested him because they believe he wanted to be seen.
But Williamson and his lawyer say he did nothing wrong.
“I’m a loving dad, and anybody knows that. And there’s not a chance on this planet that I would ever, ever do anything like that to a kid.”

South Carolina GOP county chairmen Edwin Merwin Jr. and Jim Ulmer (pictured) wrote an op-ed piece last weekend defending Senator Jim DeMint from charges he wasn’t bringing enough money home to the state by saving pennies, likening that to what Jews do. Now they’ve apologized. Except Merwin thought he was being complimentary.
Ulmer, the Orangeburg County chairman, said the remark was “truly in admiration for a method of bettering one’s lot in life” and he meant nothing derogatory.
Added Merwin, the Bamberg County chair: “I have always abhorred in the past, and shall continue to do …

It seems some of my fellow pro-immigrant friends don’t have a sense of humor about this one. They’ve already prevailed upon a number of retailers to stop selling it. The Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights calls this costume distasteful, mean-spirited and ignorant. I think it’s time to lighten up.
Many pro-immigration groups don’t like the term “illegal immigrant.” So, let’s just call it an “Undocumented Worker” costume and leave it at that.…
