King Tut is Missing
14 February, 2011, 2:36 pm

At least a gilded wood statue of him is gone. This fellow had a difficult reign and following his death things have not gone well. He was made ruler of Egypt at the age of 9. Being the product of an incestuous union he had poor health all his life. His mother was the sister of his father. These Royal rulers!

Tut had a club foot and necrosis (tissue death) which destroyed bones in part of his foot. Scientists think he had a cleft palate. His immune system was weak which allowed for many infectuous diseases. He died of malaria. He was the last of his dynasty.

Ramses I, the new pharaoh, set about to erase all evidence that King Tut ever lived. Structures were built over Tut's tomb. 3000 years later, 1922, it was discovered. Tut and 5,000 artififacts came to life. (Resource,...

Cleopatra Must Be Smiling
11 February, 2011, 2:47 pm

Egypt's Cleopatra might be smiling at Mubarak's troubles as she remembered her own while ruling that ancient country.  She was still a teenager when ascending the throne.

To rule she needed to marry her brother - and she did.  He was able to dethrone her.

When Julius Caesar, the ruler of Rome, visited Egypt, Cleopatra introduced herself by being rolled from a carpet at his feet. Impressed by her audacity and charmed by her beauty, she won his affection.

Caesar drove her brother Ptolemy from power and re-installed Cleopatra as head of state.  She bore Caesar a son, Caesarion. Cleopatra hoped her son would one day become the ruler of Rome.  When Caesar returned to Rome he reconciled with his wife and appointed his nephew Octavian as his successor...

Yet another Planned Parenthood video scandal
10 February, 2011, 2:32 pm

Just as Congress is beginning to consider several pieces of legislation that (taken together) would end taxpayer subsidization of abortion, there is yet another undercover video showing us the real face of Planned Parenthood.

The first bombshell video that surfaced over a week ago showed a Planned Parenthood worker helping an alleged pimpt and underage prostitute find out how to get access to taxpayer funded abortions and other services.

In the latest video, Planned Parenthood worker offers help on how to get Medicaid covered insurance for underage prostitutes and any abortions or other services they may need, (whether or not they are US citizens).

Remember, this is an organization that has received over ONE BILLION in federal tax dollars...and facilitated the...

Federal judge rules ObamaCare unconstitutional
1 February, 2011, 11:55 am

The federal judge presiding over the case challenging ObamaCare that was brought by twenty-six states has ruled that it is unconstitutional, null and void.

Judge Vinson agreed with the states bringing the suit that the law was unconstitutional in that Congress has no authority to mandate the purchase of health insurance by individuals, or to make them face a penalty if they fail to do so.

The argument centers around the Constitution's "commerce clause", which gives Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce.  The administration, and Democrats supporting the law claim that the mandate qualifies as a regulation of interstate commerce, but...

SEIU Locals get waivers from ObamaCare rules
25 January, 2011, 11:19 am

After spending years working to push their new rules for how the rest of us can access and pay for health care in America, it shouldn't surprise that many on the left are now seeking and getting waivers from those very rules for themselves.

In other words, ObamaCare for thee, but not for me.

This tracts with what we've always known about big government liberals.  They want to control and dictate how everyone else can live their own lives because they know better.  They're smarter than you.  Which of course means that they're also smart enough to be trusted not to have to abide by the same rules as you.

The latest offenders? ...

Vanderbilt backtracks on forcing nursing students to assist abortions
21 January, 2011, 1:49 pm

As incredible as it seems, Vanderbilt University actually HAD a policy of forcing its nursing students to pledge to assist in abortions that they have since backtracked from.  Note that they have to "pledge" that they will assist, which leads one to believe they didn't have a lot of volunteers otherwise.

Here's their statement that accompanies the pledge:

“If you are chosen for the Nurse Residency Program in the Women’s Health track, you will be expected to care for women undergoing termination of pregnancy. Procedures performed in the Labor and Delivery unit include…terminations of pregnancy,” it states. “If you feel you cannot provide care to women during this type of event, we encourage you to apply to a different track of the Nurse Residency Program to...

House votes to repeal ObamaCare - but will the Senate vote?
20 January, 2011, 11:20 am

On Wednesday, the Republican led House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly (245-189) to repeal the big-government ObamaCare legislation that the Democrats pushed into law last March.

Just as when it was first being debated and passed, Obama's signature "reform" bill was opposed by a majority of the American public, and recent polls show a similar majority being in favor of its repeal.

But now that repeal legislation has passed the House, what of the Senate?  Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he will not bring the bill up for a vote, claiming that Americans support ObamaCare, which, if true, means he should have not trouble getting a...
