Obama's Long March By Charles Krauthammer - Obama's long march to the center has begun. And why not? What's the downside? He won't lose the left, or even mainstream Democrats. They won't stay home on Nov. 4. The anti-Bush, anti-Republican sentiment is simply too strong. Election Day is their day of revenge -- for the Florida recount, for Swift-boating, for all the injuries, real and imagined, dealt out by Republicans over the last eight years. Normally, flip-flopping presidential candidates have to worry about the press. Not Obama. After all, this is a press corps that heard his grandiloquent Philadelphia speech -- designed to rationalize why "I can no more disown (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown my white grandmother" -- then wiped away a tear and hailed him as the second coming of Abraham Lincoln. Three months later, with Wright disowned, grandma embraced and the great "race speech" now inoperative, not a word of reconsideration is heard from his media acolytes.

Why Liberals Lie About What They Believe By John Hawkins - Once you've watched liberals long enough to understand how they think -- scratch that, how they feel -- they become extraordinarily predictable. To begin with, the liberal agenda is, in many respects, the same as it was in the thirties. Whether you call it communism, fascism, socialism, liberalism, or progressivism, the only real difference is how much they believe they can get away with, the way they sell it to people, and the latest trendy name for what they believe. ...So, those of us on the Right spend our time trying to explain to the American people what we really want to do, while the Left spends its time trying to hide what it really wants to do from the American people. ...More disturbing is the Left's ever-increasing reliance on what are commonly thought of as fascist tactics. Liberals at college campuses attempt to disrupt conservative speeches and the Democrats want to try to drive conservative talk radio hosts off the air with the Fairness Doctrine. Conservatives like Tom DeLay, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter have been targeted criminally for political reasons and there's even talk of trying to jail members of the Bush Administration over policy differences after they're out of office. Ideological soulmates of modern liberals -- like Stalin, Lenin, and Mao -- would certainly approve of those tactics.

Bolton: Israel Will Strike Iran if Obama Elected Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton believes Israel will stage a raid against Iran's nuclear facilities if Democratic nominee Barack Obama wins the upcoming presidential election in November.

McClintock Leads Republican Revolution By Kathryn Jean Lopez - In between recent meetings on Capitol Hill, a candidate and his campaign manager were talking about John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence. "It's all there," in the declaration, the candidate said, looking up from inside his cab to see they were passing the National Archives. He believes every policy debate on the Hill comes down to the same principles of freedom declared in 1776. The 52-year-old conservative Republican candidate for Congress was as excited by the moment as a well-studied schoolboy, and the prospect of going to Washington in November to fight for the freedoms in that document have him "optimistic" about the future of our country. Even in a Pelosi-Reid Congress.

PELOSI CONFIRMS SHE WANTS TO CENSOR TALK RADIO - Nancy Pelsoi does not want to censor TV broadcast news because it is controlled by liberals. She does not want to censor major newspapers because they are controlled by liberals. She does not want to censor the Internet where liberal bloggers dominate. BUT ... Nancy Pelosi confirmed this week that she wants to censor talk radio which is dominated by conservatives. Read more. This is just the starting point. If Obama is in the Oval Office and Pelosi runs the House next year, they will criminalize what is now free speech. Criticism of abortion or homosexuality will cause confiscation of property and probably even imprisonment. This is the "change" Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi promise, a government much like that of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.

Advertiser Accountability Campaign - Find Out Which Companies are Sponsoring Objectionable Content and Which are Promoting Family-Friendly Programming - More and more TV sponsors are pledging to help clean up TV -- thanks to the PTC! Last week, PTC Advisory Board member Fr. Val J. Peter, former executive director of Boys and Girls Town, attended a shareholder meeting of Berkshire/Hathaway, owner of Geico Insurance. At the meeting, Fr. Peter spoke about Geico's sponsorship of the ultra-sexual and violent FX cable network's program Dirt. Advertiser attrition may be one reason FX recently decided to cancel Dirt. More than 50 advertisers have stopped advertising on the show, many after being contacted by the PTC and its members about content concerns. In response to Fr. Peter's remarks Warren Buffett, Berkshire/Hathaway's Chairman of the Board, said, "I don't see why we can't fix this." In a subsequent call to Chairman Buffett's office, the PTC was invited to meet with Geico's marketing department to discuss their advertising choices. We now have a meeting scheduled at Geico's corporate headquarters in Washington, DC. And at an IBM corporate shareholder meeting last week, the PTC spoke out about the company's sponsorship of such sex-laden programs as Grey's Anatomy and Boston Legal. In response, IBM immediately scheduled a follow-up meeting with PTC Director of Corporate Relations Glen Erickson. During that meeting, IBM pledged to redirect their advertising dollars to sports and news programming and away from inappropriate prime-time shows. The PTC applauds both IBM and Geico for their responsible actions.

South Dakota Women's Group Applauds the 8th Circuit Court - Concerned Women for America (CWA) of South Dakota applauds the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for upholding South Dakota's 2005 informed consent legislation (HB1166). "We are pleased that the court got it right," stated Linda Schauer, State Director of CWA of South Dakota. "The court wisely recognized that Planned Parenthood's argument that the Act violates a physician's First Amendment right was supported only by speculation and opinions, not facts. "A woman seeking an abortion is often in a crisis situation or is under pressure from the child's father or her parents. She deserves to be fully informed with accurate and scientific information concerning a procedure that ends the life of her baby and is likely to have a detrimental effect on her for the rest of her life.
