My personal "pat-down" experience
By Kristia Cavere
The images on television of children, the elderly, and other individuals who pose zero threat to our aviation security experiencing "pat-downs" by TSA officials at airports is disturbing. This issue became personal to me as I was forced into a pat-down and threatened that I would never get through security until I complied, and I now believe that these demeaning acts are unconstitutional.

I received this from a friend.
It will take you a few minutes to read, which I hope you will do, from beginning to end. The sermon was met with resounding applause, most unusual (unheard of in a synagogue).
I think that the simple act of applauding must have, at that moment, given the congregants a feeling of exhiliration.
The sermon was delivered on Rosh Hashanah 2010 by Rabbi Shlomo Lewis in Atlanta, GA. It is now referred to as the Sermon of the Century.

More Ethanol Means Dirtier Air - Robert Bryce - National Review Online
And Obama’s EPA just gave this corrosive and un-green fuel another bailout.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced on October 13 that it had approved an increase in the amount of ethanol that can be blended into gasoline from 10 percent to as much as 15 percent. Apparently, the Obama administration’s plan is to forget about ethanol’s negative impact on consumers and their gasoline-powered equipment, ignore the facts when it comes to air quality, and instead pander to the farm lobby.

By Randall Hoven
The Iraq War ends this month. The last combat brigade left August 19. Operation Iraqi Freedom, which began in 2003, will end August 31. September 1 marks the beginning of Operation New Dawn. Now that it's over, what did the Iraq War cost?

The mainstream media rarely explore possible cuts in the nation's largest discretionary spending item, and most politicians refuse to even consider the issue."

Racial quotas for business loans

Buried deep inside the new "financial reform" law is a scheme to force affirmative action on small-business lending -- a "reform" with ominous implications for the US economy.
Aimed at curtailing supposed discrimination, the race-based lending mandate is guaranteed to have perverse effects -- just like the drive for "racial fairness" in mortgage lending paved the way for the subprime crisis and the 2008 financial meltdown.
The new Dodd-Frank banking law sets up a data-collection system to monitor small-business loans for racial bias. Lenders must report if a business that applied for a loan is minority-owned, and whether the application was rejected.

By ERNEST S. CHRISTIAN AND GARY A ROBBINS Posted 07/30/2010 06:30 PM ET
