Fox & Friends invited me on air today to discuss how The Washington Post could run a small obituary on left-wing domestic terrorist Dwight Armstrong and describe in the headline only as a “Vietnam War protester.”…
Every other newspaper obit I found had the B-word (“bombing” or “bomber”) in the headline. In the New York Times, Margalit Fox had a strong opening:
Dwight Armstrong, one of four young men who in 1970 bombed a building on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison, killing one person and injuring several others — a political protest that, gone violently wrong, endures in the national memory as an act of domestic terrorism — died on June 20 in Madison….
More than four in 10 self-described members of the Tea Party also identify as either Independents or Democrats, according to a recently released, comprehensive survey…. (CBS)
A bolt of lightning illuminates the sky around the 2,500-year-old Parthenon temple, high on the Acropolis during a heavy rainfall in Athens early this morning.
Fortunately, the temple is believed to have escaped any damage. (Source)
Exit question – Does, “I’ve learned that we make progress by listening to each other across every apparent political or ideological divide…”
Substitute, ‘I do solemnly swear to faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States under the Constitution and laws of the Unites States, so help me God?’
Earlier this month, Governor Jan Brewer sat in the Oval Office with President Barack Obama to discuss the critical issue of border security. The Governor personally related to the President the concerns of millions of Arizonans over the lack of security on Arizona’s southern border. During their visit, President Obama committed to present details, within two weeks of their meeting, regarding his plans to commit National Guard troops to the Arizona border and commit to spend $500 million in additional funds on border security.
Governor Brewer remains eager to receive the specific details of President Obama’s border security plans. She continues to extend an invitation to the President to visit with families living along the southwestern border and see the situation firsthand.
I wanted to take this event/moment in Congressional history to introduce many here to the history that is one of the major aspects that sets aside Democrats and Republicans. This solemn occasion will mark a day where our actual history can be observed. This occasion of course is the passing of Robert “Sheets” Byrd. If you are not aware of the segregationist history of the Left, and how they still hold sway and keep in poverty the minorities in America, then, these videos are a must watch.
First up is an interview of an author, the Rev. Wayne Perryman, on the Michael Medved Show concerning his newest book:
These next three videos are about the only healthy show eva (there have been a couple others done) shown on TBN. Take note, I am not a fan — at all — of TBN, but this show was excellent, and it is mainly done by an author/historian I absolutely enjoy:
Great Black Patriots From American History (Part 1)
From Bondage To the Halls of Congress (Part 2)
The Civil Rights Movement (Part 3)
Black history month doesn’t include these inspiring stories from our (U.S.) history. These are merely a small portion of a larger series about U.S. history that is often neglected and it is a powerful comment on what is not told our kids and university students — for obvious reasons. The entire DVD American Heritage Series (http://www.wallbuilders.com/MED_ahs.asp) come highly recommended. As well as the book (http://www.wallbuilders.com/store/product3.html) and extended DVD documentary (http://www.wallbuilders.com/store/product77.html) entitled, “American History in Black & Whilte.” Really, all Barton’s products (http://www.wallbuilders.com/store/) are top-notch!
