McCain the Antichrist

Last week I had a post about how McCain was trying to make it look like Obama was the antichrist. Coincidentally, respected biblical scholars have uncovered dramatic evidence that it is McCain who is more likely to be the antichrist! How? We believe that the End Times is near, based on the pattern of wars, […]

Open Season on Democrats

How to get People in Glass Houses to stop throwing stones

Jed Lewison has been tracking how many times the mainstream media mentioned John Edwards’ affair, and yesterday the number dropped by a factor of four. Why? On Sean Hannity’s show, Alan Colmes finally got tired of a bunch of conservatives yammering on about how you can’t trust someone who cheats on his wife, and asked the […]

No longer a crime to violate the law

The former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and other members of Bush’s administration conspired to fire US attorneys for political reasons, hire lawyers for the Justice Department based mainly on partisan loyalty rather than skill or experience, and (worst of all) decided which prosecutions to take to trial based on helping Republicans win elections and […]

McCain gave a speech about the war between Russia and Georgia (the country) a few days ago, and someone on Wikipedia noticed something strange — a few parts of his speech were taken almost directly from the Wikipedia article about the country of Georgia.

Obama is not the antichrist

McCain has run an ad mocking Obama as “the One” and using “every single symbol of the antichrist in this ad”. However, Rev. Tim LaHaye, co-author of the series of books that detailed the New Testament idea of The Apocalypse says that comparisons between Obama and the antichrist are incorrect: The antichrist isn’t going to […]

Bush – I don’t see America having problems

In an interview with President Bush done by Bob Costas on NBC: COSTAS: This past week, you restated America’s fundamental differences with China. But given China’s growing strength, and America’s own problems, realistically, how much leverage does the U.S. have here? BUSH: First of all, I don’t see America having problems.

Fox News – We report, We decide, You lose

Watch this hilarious video where Fox News host Gregg Jarrett interviews PBS’s Bonnie Erbe. Erbe keeps trying to talk about a real news story — the war between Russia and Georgia — but Jarrett keeps totally ignoring her and talking about John Edwards and his 2006 affair, as if Erbe doesn’t exist. When Erbe says “We […]
