Maggie's away, so here's my right reading roundup. Be sure to follow the links for some interesting commentary of the news of the day.
Mind-Numbed Robot created a nice video saluting the ladies of liberty. My fuzzy twitter photo didn't make it into the video, but he did a good job nonetheless.
An SEIU member registered 23,207 fraudulent voters in Harris County, Texas. Gateway Pundit has the scoop.
Check out video of a man being pummeled in the face by a leftie at a campaign event in Oregon at The Other McCain.
You'll never guess what Obama did in his weekly address - attacked Republicans! Gee, nothin' like trying something new for a change. William Teach can't recall a modern president being so utterly partisan in a weekly address. Just think, we have more than two more years of this.
Bob Belvedere has some excellent dating advice for a spammer with an STD.
If you think the exit of the creepy David Axelrod and the thuggish Rahm Emanuel means an end to the Chicago Way in the White House, think again, warns Sister Toldjah.
Fausta points out that Bill Ayers being denied emeritus status was an empty gesture, as the aging terrorist still enjoys tenure and the nice pension that goes along with it.
Another liberal politician insulted the voters. This time it was Robin Carnahan in Missouri who has scorn for voters who love the Constitution. All American Blogger is part of the gaggle of "drooling, mouth breathing imbeciles." You can count me in!
In case you missed it, Obama attended a back yard barbecue last week and some Kool Aid drinkers thanked him for sending a $250 check. Note to Obamabots: That isn't Obama's money. I'll let Adrienne fill you in on the details.
Harry Reid is such a [insert expletive here] dirt bag, he's actually accusing Republicans of getting our troops killed. Pundit Press's Aurelius notes that facts mean nothing to guys with no shame.
Nice Deb has more information on the DOJ whistleblower testimony, with plenty of background links. Speaking of the DOJ, Moe Lane picked up on a little tidbit you may have missed - now that evil Bush is out of office they're free to hire all the commies they want!
I know, it's Saturday, but head on over to Right Klik to find out who won this week's Ten Buck Friday poll. I've become quite lax in the TBF department. Sorry, I have a short attention span.

Right Reading Round-up 9-7-10 at Maggie's Notebook
I really enjoy reading "round-up" articles from respected bloggers because I find new blogs, and new takes on old issues. I also love to do my own reading round-up because the powerful writing on conservative blogs is simply mind-blowing. This time I found far too many for one post, so I will have another in a day or two. In the meantime...
The Astute Bloggers Alliance: Islam - The Religion of Genocide and the Spanish Inquisition via Always on Watch

Undeterred by these unhappy events, UC Berkley graduates Sarah Shourd, Josh Fattal, and Shane Bauer mistakenly wandered into Iran while on a holiday to the Middle East. As an aside, we wonder what kind of idiot goes on holiday in a region of the world where Islamic radicals hang homosexuals from cherry pickers, leaving their rotting corpses on display to the masses. We don’t think they were on holiday at all. We think they were making a Code Pink statement supporting the Iranians against their own countrymen —but this is the value of a UC Berkeley education.Stop the ACLU - Beat Whitey Night Deemed Not Racial
What a relief. Remember all the folks who were assaulted at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines on Beat Whitey Night? Authorities have determined there was no racism involved. A spokeswoman who suggested otherwise has been punished.Chicagoan's Conservative Chronicles - Koran Burning Stunt Ill Advised and Provocative
I think it would serve just as much of a purpose to just cancel the thing the day before. He will have ‘tweaked the Muslims’ and brought some attention to it and perhaps they’ll act like animals anyways and prove the point without actually ‘burning’ them.
That’s just how I feel, I wouldn’t want them burning bibles, but then again, they don’t have time for that in between killing and beheading Jews Muslims and Christians whenever they can.
NEWSFLASH - Because of this article, Ray at Conservative Chronicles has been asked to appear on the BBC's global radio program, World Have Your Say.

Right Reading Round-up 6-26-10 at Maggie's Notebook
There was so much news this week. You might have missed these stories.
Weasel Zippers on a rigged New York election that "allowed some New Yorkers to flip the lever six times" and produce an Hispanic winner.
At Conservative Perspective, Christopher shows the jaw-dropping, apocalyptic security locked onto Toronto for the G-20 - complete with pics.
Chicago Ray has the Top 10 Conservatives Liberals love to hate, with links to a full list of the Top 100.
Red at Caught Him with a Corndog has an incredible salute to her Dad on Father's Day. Dad must be so proud. I may be a week late but note that it's complete with Bob Marley, Leon Russell and Charles Bronson.
Pundett and Pundett has some incredible news about what in-womb babies feel and don't feel.
With all the World Cup hoopla, did you miss that Australia Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was outsted for his "dictatorial style, power grabs, and centralization of decision-making?" Reaganite Republican has the details of the power switch, just how much changes might change...or not.
Right Truth reports the latest investigation of CAIR, including plans to "silence 2010 candidates," and any talk of jihad, Shariah law and Islamic terrorism. This is news we must be aware of as we head to November. If you do not know about the CAIR Observatory, find it at Right Truth.
AmerIsrael points out that Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the Palestinian Authority's Fatah Party is equally as guilty as everyone else in "Palestine" for undermining peace.
Nice Deb on New Orleans surviving the British. (NiceDeb says her co-blogger BlackisWhiteImperialConsigliere actually wrote this post)
Stanford at Blog@MoreWhat explains why the five American jihadis sentenced to a Pakistan prison, didn't get a life sentence. CAIR is involved.
Left Coast Rebel has an interesting piece on a new and powerful GOP fundraising apparatus - outside of the RNC, because let's face it, no one gives their hard-earned money to them anymore. So who's behind the new venture? Read it at Left Coast Rebel.
Daniel at Sultan Knish talks of the lack of Western interest in Turkey and Iran's invasion of Iraq this week, the deaths of Kurds, and Turkey's shakedown of the U.S. Daniel's insight into the back story is always profound.

Right Reading Roundup 5-31-10 at Maggie's Notebook
The following Right Reading Roundup is a mix of news and great Memorial Day tributes. Enjoy!
Reaganite Republican has a smashing post about Detroit, about the Mayor's Mansion, about a mugging seen on Google Street View, and about the Democrat's city ruins - all with a video you have to see.
Ol Broad quotes an IDF soldier "It looked like the "Ramallah lynch." While you're there take a look at It is the Veteran.
Stanford Matthews at Blog@MoreWhat has a classic post on the Arizona Illegal Alien law, AND a video by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer - not your average video. Hilarious! She makes her point well. See also a beautiful Memorial Day Tribute in photos.
Alexp writing for Blogs 4 History takes a look at the second half of The New Deal, and the "end of reform in Totalitarianism: The Savior of American Capitalism? Be reminded of the Arizona Memorial in God Bless our Warriors.
teresamerica has the Messiah at the Bat with Sarah Palin on the pitcher's mound. I loved this. Watched it twice.
Bloviating Zeppelin wrote a major piece this week, with much thought and research behind it. The US Constitution: Manipulated by Leftists examines Obama's goal, and the culmination involves the federal courts. Very interesting. His Memorial Day 2010 is a montage of photos: "Strong in the strength of the Lord , we who fight in the people's cause will never stop until that cause is won."
ChicagoRay has an awesome post about the rain in Chicago, Obama's canceled Memorial Day address, a Blackhawks game, and a great video of Ray-man playing guitar and singing the National Anthem, with a very personal message at the end, and another fine tribute here.
Conservative Blogs Central says:
President Obama has no time for Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day 2010, BUT seems to find the time to share an evening with Nation of Islam leader and Jew hater Louis Farrakhan....or Obama was across the street from Farrakhan's house, at the Nesbitt's. Still waiting for the final truth, if we ever get it. The" Fruit of Islam" [Farrakhan's bodyguards] loitered outside a home on the side of the street where the press pool and secret service waited...and intervened. Here's more of the story.
Ah, but the "Obama breaking bread with Jew hater Farrakhan persists."
The Obama File has this photo. This is my first time to see it. How about you?
Ticker at Jus' Sayin' Talks of The Rise and Fall of a Nation and asks Where are we? As always at Ticker's, the comments add to the commentary.
Chris at WyBlog says the "three sweetest words ever to be said will be "former President Obama," and then quotes Tom Kean, the chairman of the 9/11 Commission who says "if we don't get our act together, we're going to be in serious trouble." Kean compares the Nation's danger point on 9/11 to now.
Ms. Sparky links to a page that memorializes American contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan who have died in support of our military, and says for them and their families "there is no ceremonial return."
The Lonely Conservative tolls the bell and quotes Mark Tapscott:
Release of the Federal Trade Commission’s working paper on “reinventing journalism” makes it clear that there is no more time for diplomacy about this issue: President Obama is determined to federalize the news industry just as he has banking, autos, and health care.
Everybody who wants independent journalism had better wake up to these three facts about what is going:Bernie at Planck's Constant puts war in it's proper perspective and explains it all to the "war-never solved-anything idiots."

Right Reading Roundup 4-25-10 at Maggie's Notebook
TOTUS brings the unbelievable news that the UK is banning pictures of Western Wall in Israeli Tourism brochures.
Butch at 123Beta has a video of 7-year-old Rhema Marvanne singing Amazing Grace. Treat yourself to the extraordinary, really extraordinary voice of this little girl.
Chicago Ray's beautiful new blog, Chicago Ray's Conservative Chronicles, has a great video of the late George Carlin talking about Earth Day. If the "F" word offends you, you might want to pass this one by, but honestly, this is not what you would expect from Carlin. It's hilarious and spot-on.
The Lonely Conservative has the the depressing latest on Obama's Debt Panel (The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform). You know what's coming...right?
TeresaAmerica talks about Kelsey Grammer's new RightNetwork.com, launching this summer. Will it be aired by Comcast? She has the discussion. See a video below of Kelsey talking about what's right and what's wrong, but not about who will host RightNetwork.
Bloviating Zeppelin has a powerful post on the new Arizona law on illegal aliens. This is something we need to stay hyped about (that's an easy one), and BZ has some great thoughts on the absurdity of Obama calling out the Arizona law as probably not fair.
The Reaganite Republican has a great piece titled Put His Lying Butt on the Stand, Blago. I know you've read about this everywhere, but you haven't read one as pithy as this piece by James.
Ol' Broad got it on video that Obama is deeply distressed about bloggers. Listen to this and pat yourself on the back. But that's not all, read about how Kate gauges her intelligence. It works for me.
Debbie at Right Truth reminds us what separation of church and state really means.
Amusing Bunni's Musings reports from the trenches of the Chicago Tax Day Tea Party. Some of the best pics and videos - as Bunni says "direct from the belly of the beast in the crime ridden City...."
Gary Fouse writing at Patriot Corner has an essay by Leila Beckwith of UCLA and Tammi Rossman Benjamin of UC Santa Cruz. The subject is one Gary writes about often as he spends his days at UCLA. So the question is: Are Jewish Students Safe on California Campuses? How tragic is it that we have to ask.
Chris at WyBlog examines how Northerners often think about Southerners, and how Southerners treat Northerners, with some personal family experience thrown in. I consider myself from the Central-South, as Oklahoma is dead-center South, directly above Texas. I am always treated like an Okie, not a Southerner.
American Power reports that the LA Times published a Tea-Party smear. Can you guess who it was from?
MarySue at Ruby Slippers has a comprehensive post about an extraordinarily important special election in Pennsylvania' 12 Congressional district to fill deceased John Murtha's seat in the House. this is something you will want to know about.

Right Reading Roundup 4-13-10 at Maggie's Notebook
Hillarynme has some astonishing quotes from foreign press about the American president. The European Union Times quotes Sarkozy calling Obama “a dangerous[ly] aliéné,” which means "insane person," - look it up. I did. Another from Western Journalism Center says Obama "seems to be slipping into a slightly more delusional state these days."
Reaganite Republican asks "How Obama will explain-away his former Illinois seat going Republican?" Friends, Mark Kirk is someone we need to know more about, and Reaganite Republican has all the details.
This US Senate seat - the same one Blago tried to sell - is in increasing danger of being taken by Republican Mark Kirk after it was reported that the Gianoullias family's Broadway Bank had lent $20 million to Chicago criminals...Always on Watch tells of the Obama's attendance at a D.C. church on Easter Sunday. I don't want to give this one away, but you really need to know what happened when the First Family entered the sanctuary.
TeresaAmerica has two videos of Barack Obama's cousin, Dr. Milton Wolf, speaking against the new health care law. Bet you have not heard about this! The second video shows an articulate Dr. Wolfe (he looks 'clean' too) speaking passionately and convincingly without the help of a teleprompter - while saying ObamaKare is "flawed to the core."
Amerisrael looks at the moral indictment against the entire world for "failure to act," if Israel must go-it-alone against Iran - "the stark reality world leaders need to wake up to."
Holger Awakens reveals that the most dangerously, radical Islamist in the world lives among us here in America, in an "armed fortress in the midst of the Pocono Mountains." Read this story and then think about the, at least, 5 children born to every Muslim wife (and some Muslims have more than one wife), who become instant American citizens...and attend this man's American taxpayer funded schools. This is a heart-stopping story. You know the old adage: "they are coming for us." Well, they are coming for us.
The Lonely Conservative has the video that took down the servers at CNS News after reporting that Obama Science Czar John Holden told students that "we can't expect to be No. 1 at everything, indefinitely."
ChicagoRay reports that the Obama's Recovery Act will cost $75 billion MORE THAN ESTIMATED. Check his calculator to find how much you owe.
Bloviating Zeppelin examines everything that this country cannot afford, and ends with a another incredible Reagan quote "querying the people" about what they are willing to do about spending, and helping doctors fight against socialized medicine. From 1964 - incredible!
Social Sense writes about Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and our military. While we think we would recognize TBI...maybe not. Read and have a better understanding of what our military and their families face all too often.
Storm'n Norm'n has more about our veterans who need you to call your Senator about payments to TRICARE. Without action, millions of seniors and military beneficiaries" may be left without a primary care provider. Norm has the details.
Viewed from the Right has some intriguing info in an article titled Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Of course, "union thugs" are mentioned - and bumper stickers, with pressure brought on some Tea Partiers.
Ol' Broad explains why a call to Tea Party infiltrators resembles "indoctrination replacing education," and why the First Amendment is not just for Libtards.
Speaking of Tea Parties, Chris Wysocki at Wyblog talks about his New Jersey Tea Party Patriots and his neighbor's reaction to his yard sign.
Several good comprehensive posts on the news of the deaths of Polish president, and staunch American ally, Lech Kaczynski, his wife along with a considerable number of the country's leaders,
Amusing Bunni has the on-site video of the plane crash.Monkey-in-the-Middle explains the recognition of the Day of Remembrance to memorialize those who were murdered in the Holocaust. Choose among several deeply touching videos, and learn about the the documentation of the Holocaust.
Ruby Slippers with a great round-up of the breaking news.
Pat Dollard with "Much of the Pro-West Political Establishment" of Poland Killed in Russia"
Last but absolutely not least, Shane at Political Vindication has a post on Planned Parenthood: Young people living with HIV have the right to sexual pleasure." Yes, you read that right. If you did not read it here when he shared it with Maggie's Notebook, please go to Political Vindication and read it. If you have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews or young neighbors - you need to understand how all are led to risky behavior that could lead to fatal results.

Right Reading Round-up 3-28-10 at Maggie's Notebook
Here are some gems found in the blogosphere this week:
Liberty 1776 Blog - a new blog with stirring commentary on liberty and freedom in the very first post. There are several videos - one not to be missed is a former citizen of the Soviet Union, now in America and married to an America, and her alarm at what is happening in American today (she mentions our Senators). Mrs. Barzel's uncle spent 25 years behind bars in Siberia.
Staci at Bliss has a dead-pan post on health care in and out of Canada that had me belly-laughing (something rare for me), and there's a mention of "two inches of black root rot," in the hair of a former friend - not to mention an astute thought about the racism against taxing tanning salons.
teresaamerica has a great Cavuto video with Ted Nugent calling out the Democrat pigs. It doesn't get any better than this! Another follows with Pink Floyd and Flying Pigs doing the same. As the Nugent video rolls, note the right side of the screen. You and I certainly thought this communist health care bill could only pass in America when pigs fly, and you'll see they have.
Doug Ross says 2 million union retirees are unaware of the pending disaster coming their way in a short 9 months...when they lose their private health care.
Holger Awakens, my war blogging friend, has a very intense and personal essay on tyranny. It's very, very good. I hope you will read it and then click over to read that the Pakistan Air Force bombed a mosque, a madrassa and a seminary. Phenomenal! Found this pithy billboard at Holger's.James at Reaganite Republican is talking about Rep. Alan Grayson and his wish for a world without Republicans. See a great video interview with Ed Schultz and the congressman. You'll remember Grayson for numerous reason - latest his surprise that the health care bill he voted for provides funds to Native American child sex abusers. Yeah, that Alan Grayson. Two more things about Reaganite Republican. He was mentioned by Rush about 10 days ago - CONGRATULATIONS!, and about once a week (maybe on Fridays) James puts up a Rock-n-Roll Oldie. This week it stars the incomparable Joe Cocker. You'll find it here.
Stanford at Blog@MoreWhat has the astonishing news that a real "scholar" actually was brave enough to say that Arab culture is to blame for Mideast violence.
Storm'n Norm'n writes of the atrocities at the United Nations and their record on human rights. While we have been so wrapped up in ObamaKare, the U.N. is going about their dastardly business.
Bloviating Zeppelin is talking about the dangers of visiting Mexico and the coming immigration legislation
Observations has a video of a very sober Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) speaking about the federal government and health care.

Right Reading Round-up 2-21-10 at Maggie's Notebook
Have you received an American Community Survey (ACS) from your government? Snarky Basterd at Feed Your ADHD has. This is not the census, but he is ordered to fill it out and return it. The survey asks how much your rent or mortgage payment is, your retirement or pension amount and when you last married. There's much more, including a $5000 penalty if you do not comply. Read what Snarky plans to do, the message he plans to send, and let me know if you were also selected ordered to complete an ACS.
Daniel Greenfield, writing for CanadaFreePress says There is No End to Jihad, and the assault is not coming only from Islam. This is a hilarious and incredulous look at the mess we are in today, beginning with Joe Stack's attack on the IRS and the Tea Party movement, to the Atlanta Progressive News which fired a reporter for displaying objectivity in his writing, to Mitch Romney's 'vulcan grip" on the rapper, Sky Blu, and how a Palestinian official's sexual escapade is blamed on Israel. And then perhaps the most important piece of news: the attempted corrupting of a U.S. Congressman by the White House. You can also read Daniel at his own blog, Sultan Knish.
Ron at TOTUS has an incredible video of Steve Reicher, a Marine sniper, who made a kill shot from over one mile away and takes out a terrorist. The History Channel recreated the important story.
Whoa! An Ol' Broad's Rambling says former Democrat Congressman, James Traficant, from Ohio plans to run for office again as an Independent. With a 7-year prison sentence behind him, he wants to get into your business yet again. Kate also has a fine essay up on the Second Amendment.
Reaganite Republican has a complete commentary on today's most important issues...through cartoons. James always has the best Sunday Funnies...and they always speak to reality. Instead of reading and weeping, you read, nod wisely and belly laugh. While I often link to this site's pithy work, I was honored this week to be The Reaganite Republican's Featured Blogger - complete with my very own beloved Liberty Bell Banner. Thank you so much, James.
Carole at No Sheeples Here warns of Obama's "rope-a-dope" strategy, and contrary to Carly Fiorina's famous campaign video, Carole shows us the real "demon sheep."
America's Watchtower reports on Harry Reid's miniaturized jobs bill, which he plans to force cloture on...then add back in, all the left-out, still-wanted Liberal measures to later bills. Deception by spreading it all out in several bits of legislation. This is happening tomorrow!
American Power points to The Narrative, which keeps Republicans "stuck in rearguard actions," and asks four tough questions. Here's one: Do Republicans actually disdain an ideal of justice that conjures up an image of well-fed and well-tended sheep?
Debbie at RightTruth caught Colin Powell resurfacing. The General is in defensive mode. She has a suggestion for him.
J.D. Longstreet, writing at FaultlineUSA warns that our tough times haven't yet arrived. Are we on a "primrose path" to destruction?
...I foresee a complete collapse of the American economic system. Something, I feel, that will be much, much, worse than the Dot-Com Crash back in 2000, or even the Sub Prime Credit Crash in 2008. No, what I feel is coming will be worse than both these two former crashes added together. In fact, it has, I believe, already begun.Friend and contributor to Maggie's Notebook, Karen, The Lonely Conservative, went to CPAC for the first time this year. She invited me along, and for various reasons, I couldn't make it - DANG! Next year will be different. Anyway, reading Karen's coverage, I see she is as distressed as I that Ron Paul won the straw poll. She got a good shot of Newt Gingrich, and says after his speech, she might to able to forgive him for the "Dede Scozzafava debacle...at least for the day." Good coverage here with Andrew Breitbart videos. Scroll through The Lonely Conservative for more.
Smitty at The Other McCain interviews Katherine Jenerette, a GOP candidate for the U.S. House from South Carolina. Browse through the Other McCain for full coverage of CPAC. From Smitty:
She’s an Army vet, mother of four, and sounds like more of what the country needs. This blog supports tough veterans in the fight to reclaim the country from the clutches of Progressivism.ChicagoRay has some excellent analysis on the media's "reverse psychology" on conservatism's chances in November 2010, along with a video of Rick Santorum's CPAC comments to FOXNews' Brian Wilson (my favorite new guy).
J at Uncoverage.net (thanks to The Other McCain for the introduction) has some great coverage of CPAC. This page for Day 3, in particular. Read the Ann Coulter one-liners and her closing remark: "You've been a great audience, you're all paid shills for the insurance companies, Keith Olbermann is a girl and GOD BLESS AMERICA.
DaTechGuy has video of the Tea Party Reagan Award winners. Here's your chance to put a face to one of your favorite bloggers. Look around at his many posts on other Reagan Ward Winners, and watch for coming CPAC posts, which he says will be coming this week.
Watch Andrew Breitbart confront Max Blumenthal - tell him he's a "punk" and says "racist" is the worst thing you can call someone. Larry O'Connor at Big Government finishes the con-versation.

Right Reading Roundup 2-12-10 at Maggie's Notebook
The problem with blogging is, there is never enough time to read the great work posted by the thousands everyday. From this week, here are a few of my favorites.
Woman Honor Thyself - one of the best essays on womanhood I've read. If you have a daughter, you must read Angel's post.
Ruby Slippers has a video with Megyn Kelly questioning Chris Wallace his "Sarah Palin eyeroll." Did it happen or not? Hear Wallace's surprising comment at Joe Scarborough.
Chicago Ray at his new blog, A Chicagoan's Conservative Chronicles with a piece from Larry Elder on "Liberal Deficit Hypocrisy." Checkout Ray's beautiful new news magazine.
The Lonely Conservative sheds light on Obama and, at least, some of his time at Occidental College. Read a first-hand account from a man who had dinner and conversation with Obama, "back then." Our president is the radical Marxist elitist we know he is, and always has been. I hope we begin hearing more at the Obama Early Years now that everyone is comfortable with tagging him a failure.
Butch at 123 Beta shows how to turn off Google Buzz if you are concerned about your privacy, and he also has a funny, real-life video up of a burglar trying to get out of a large supermarket.
Doug Ross has a photo essay about the free market - what the free market did and did not do. Supreme talking points!
Sister Toldjah writing a thoughtful essay at The Velvet Lair, on "Is being a Christian boring?
Tea and Politics reports that 48 Christians were forced from their homes in Laos and are now sleeping on the ground in the woods with little food or survival gear. This time the persecution is at the hands of Buddhists.
Truth and Consequences - A good primer on the Constitution and how we lost our Constitutional Republic.
Sweetness and Light points to more Democrat deception as they blame "tax extenders" on Republicans, when the legislation actually includes "extensions of tax cuts."
Atlas Shrugs on Obama's Brownshirts in our children's schools. Another real story of our kids intimidated and shamed by teachers
Whoa...in Iowa? The Other McCain on a 17-year-old stripper ruled legal by a judge.
Infidel Blogger's Alliance - a 26 year old woman in Hebron, Israel who drew a pic of a pig, named it Mohamed and spent 16 months in an Israeli prison, sent there by an Israeli judge.
Avi Green at Tel Chai Nation tells of a 13-year-old raped and imprisoned - for 6 months - by a Muslim in Buffalo, New York. We need to know these things.
Reganite Republican talks about "Murtha's seat" and what may be possible for Republicans.
Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit on the incredible revelation from Debra Medina, running for Texas Governor. Unbelievable!
And last but never least, is Daniel Greenfield's essay at Sultan Knish on the causes of the Collapse of Civilization:
What if the sympathy for terrorism and the drive toward socialism, the falling birth rates and cultural bankruptcy in civilized countries, the economic decay and decline of the family all had a common cause?...They say that the child is father to the man. But what becomes of the man when the child never grows up? That is the unfortunate question that civilization as we know it, is confronted by. That is the question it will have to answer if it wants to survive.

Right Reading Roundup 1-25-10 at Maggie's Notebook
In case you missed these, here are some great blog commentaries I've found this week:
Michael Barone writing at Beltway Confidential has a fascinating piece on what might be possible for Republicans in the House in the November elections. After some unique analysis, Barone says if past voting history is any barometer, Dems may have only 103 safe seat. H/t to Larwyn's links.
InfidelsareCool tells us how the US Treasury cleared the way for funding Hamas.
Daniel Greenfield at Sultan Knish has a piercing essay on America's Greatest Weakness: The Insecurity of Freedom: "Tyranny then could only come from the desire for security."
Lionheart tolls the warning...again, and...again, and...again. Watch his video report from Sky News, England has Fallen to Islam.
At CommentaryMagazine, Jillian Kay Melchior reports that disgraced ClimateGate scientist Michael Mann is still receiving "millions of dollars in grant money from the 2009 stimulus package."
Stanford at Blog@MoreWhat says one more Obama policy has his administration looking like the fools they are (well...those are my words, not his). The Obama-long-arm reaches to the carp in the Great Lakes. The good people of Michigan need protection of Governor Granholm and her friend Barack.
JammieWearingFool has a great video of Sean Penn praising the US military in Haiti, and asks, if this military were serving under Bush/Cheney, would we hear the same?
Snarky Basterd at Feed Your ADHD has a sweet video of his 6-year-old son reciting the Preamble to the US Constitution. Can you do that? I can't!
Samuel at The Last Tradition reveals the Democrat strategy to consider abortion a matter of "health care."
Amusing Bunni's Musings has a quick video of "citizens showing up at rally's and speaking their minds." As Bunni said "thank the Lord" for them.
Mary Sue at Ruby Slippers has another post on election analysis, and says 58 Democratic Seats in Play, Including 12 New Seats.
At TOTUS, you'll read a story some think should be turned into a movie. You'll enjoy this.

Right Reading Roundup 1-21-10 at Maggie's Notebook
All the news, all the time has been about Scott Brown. Still is today. Here's more as well as other news and thoughts that may have gotten lost in the excitement.
American and Proud says I think I'm a Conservative, who knew.... This list is one to keep handy. There is so much to fall through the cracks of our memory. Use it keep your mad-on.
Bloviating Zeppelin talks about the Council of Governors. Do you know about this Obama hand-picked panel which will be reviewing our National Guard, homeland defense, civil support, and how about a "National Stability Force?"
MindNumbedRobot says that Texas law still allows illegal aliens in colleges paying far less tuition than legal immigrants and American citizens - and it is unconsititutional. I thought Texas fixed that?
ReganiteRepublican has a video that see us through the next three years, ever a reminder that we must be vigil. See the history of a Massachusetts Miracle.
TheOtherMcCain, who was at Brown's headquarters last night, says Hannah Giles showed up (the young woman who went undercover to film the ACORN-underage-prostitution video). Read what is next for her and follow McCain's link to his American Spectator column today, where he confirms that the Brown crowd did indeed chant "John Kerry's next!" after Martha conceded.
RightWingNews has a United Nations report misleading the world on the quickly melting Himalayan glacier which is not quickly melting. A short phone call with an Indian scientist who says he "speculated" is it took for the UN to take the information as gospel fact.
ChicagoRay features John Stossel's Crony Capitalism - not the capitalism you and I know. Stossel denounces the idea that capitalism has anything to do with the recession. Hear the truth about the cronies, Congress, and the economic apocalypse.
Michelle Makin reports on Michael Mann's global hot air in the ClimateGate scandal, and Penn State's "vested interest in the big research dollars" granted for warming research. You want to see this video!
DoTheRightThing reports that the ACLU loses the Ten Commandments Case in Kentucky. This is action in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Important news, perhaps buried in the Massachusetts elections.
Ft. Hard Knox says after the Scott Brown win, the "mythology surrounding President Obama is now in tatters: The Second American Revolution begins once again in Massachusetts.
American Thinker's Steve McCann says there is a Coming Democrat Counteroffensive. He warns about not falling into the hands of Democrat strategists. The money spent by Democrats in for the November elections will be "staggering," he says. In short, our enthusiasm and our vigilence must not wane.
TheTrogloPundit takes a look at David Brooks' analysis of Barack Obama.
TheClimateDepot: pick an article - any article. You'll love this, Mother Jones Mag says "Climate Depot has more than 168,000 unique visitors in a month, making it the most popular denial site."
At TheJawaReport watch a Haiti rescue video with the crowd shouting USA, USA.

Right Reading Roundup 1-11-10 at Maggie's Notebook
In case you missed them, here are a few articles I've enjoyed over the last day or so.
Planck's Constant shows us how Muslims are taking over France. "...it is not the extremist who we have to fear, but the moderate Muslim
who through no fault of his own, by merely being Muslim, will destroy
the very fabric of western culture." Take a look at Bernie's video of the streets of Paris. We need to know these things.
Pundit and Pundette
showcases Maureen Dowd's elitist ignorance, even though today she
laments "our president came down from the mountaintop," and contrasts
Jennifer Rubin's assessment that Obama's "preference for government by
seminar made for an excruciating war-planning process." I love that
"government by seminar."
American Power tells us Democrats in the Senate are readying to change the rule on filibusters.
Ruby Slippers takes a look at Massachusetts Democrat Senate contender Martha Coakley, and wonders "what if Sarah Palin said that?"
Dolley Madison at Abigail and Dolley has A Tale of Two Mothers. She takes a look at the sacrifices for "Cadillac healthcare" and how the choices we make affect our lives.
Ol' Broad talks about the "uneducated" tea-party goers, as described by NYT's David Brooks.
Ryan Maro at PajamasMedia sees improvement in the world's oil supply, and benefits to the U.S. with Russia's new Iraqi oil operation - and he says, Iran should worried.
[the contract with Russia puts] to rest allegations that the Bush administration launched the war to seize the fields for its buddies in the oil business, a laughable accusation of Satan-level evil that has had a disappointingly long shelf life.The Lonely Conservative gets into "Oliver Stone's Secret History of America" and his much-expected, revisionist history of Stalin, Hitler and Mao. Oh come on Karen. You know Stone will be completely unbiased, as always.
Sultan Knish informs on Israel's Arab settlements. You need to know about this, and there is no one better to tell it than the Sultan.
Dr. Sanity tells us how California became a failed state.
Jim Simpson at The Examiner is spilling a little known secret about Universal Voter
Moose and Squirrel points out the absurdity of the "Goracle's" flawed propaganda, and that of his followers, and the money behind all warmists.
William Teach at Pirate's Cove asks "Who's a Climate Scientist?" and questions Al Gore's credentials.
Blackfive looks at the White House distress over troops not "magically" arriving in Afghanistan and explains the post-dithering logistics needed to get them there.
BigJournalism shines the big spotlight on Media Matter in Dumbing Down the War on Terror.

Right Reading Roundup 1-4-09 at Maggie's Notebook
Always on Watch has a very interesting video on the Battle of Tours between the Christian Franks and the Muslim Moors in 732 AD. Watch how this war was fought and won against the Religion of Peace - because the battle had to be fought, and the battle had to be won - there was no other choice.
Sultan Knish on Mayor Bloomberg, unlimited wealth, and the "treasure chest of taxes and revenues that the political vultures base their careers on..."
Stop the ACLU has an beautiful story of courage in Support of Project Valour. A love story about two Marines, Corporal Aaron Mankin and Lance Corporal Diana Kavanek - both deployed in Iraq. A story of life and survival after an IED explosion:
Then, my girlfriend Diana’s face popped into my head. I was thinking, These are my last thoughts. She is my last thought. And I focused on her face, because if I was going to die in war, I wanted to die with the thought of something worth fighting for, something worth dying for.Dr. Thomas Sowell on Dismantling America. Sowell talks about Czars and the long arm of this radical administration. Thanks to neighbor, Patsy, for this one.
Barack Obama has not only said that he is out to “change the United States of America,” the people he has been associated with for years have expressed in words and deeds their hostility to the values, the principles, and the people of this country.National Review Online's Michael Graham looks at the lessons of NY-23 in northeastern New England, where he says:
It’s hard to describe to outsiders the hopelessness that potential Republican candidates feel living in a place like Massachusetts.Gateway Pundit has the video of Barack Obama's half-brother's story of an "absent, abusive and wife beater" father - the father the two brother's shared.
The Other McCain writes his first-hand account of a visit to Doug Hoffman's headquarters. Hoffman's race was emotional for all conservatives. This gives the feel and flavor of what it was like to be Doug Hoffman, or to be among his staff on election night.
ChicagoRay on "Elementary Hitler Youth Epidemic: 11 Uncovered Indoctrination Videos Show School Children Praising to Obama." Information we need to know and do something about it.
Stanford at Blog@MoreWhat has a review of Obama's rookie year, and one stand-out is a Rasmussen poll showing that 27% of voters think Hillary would be doing a better job as president, but 49% say she would be performing about the same. Stanfords equates that to about 70% believing Hillary would be doing "as well or better" than Barack Obama.
Holger Awakens has a story that...well, here's the lead-in:
The mental imagery of this is just too much! It's hysterical! Picture this...four islamic jihadis in Kashmir are on the run...they decide to hide out in a cave and chant their 'allahu ackbars' over a nice little campfire...the owner of the cave, a Himalayan black bear comes home...isn't too excited about the jihadis turning his cave into a mosque...mauls and kills two of the jihadis while the other two finally get their wits together and escape. hahahaha!The Black Sphere is talking about the Tarnishing of Obama's Luster:
If the recent fundraiser for Massachusetts’s Governor Deval Patrick is any indicator, Obama’s luster may be wearing off. The event was nowhere near a sellout, and word on the street is that operatives were pimping tickets up to the very last minute of the event. Worse yet, they weren’t finding any takers.Truth and Consequences - Sjourn's to the Heartland: Read about Jim Simpson's trip to Tyler, Texas to speak to Grassroots America - We the People. This northeasterner has some observations about being deep in the heart of Texas.
