"Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Press, Politics and Public Policy recently examined almost 1,742 campaign news stories and found that 1) morning network TV shows produced twice as many stories about Democrats than Republicans; 2) Barack Obama’s page-one coverage was 70% positive and 9% negative, while Republican candidates had a 25%-positive-to-40%-negative ratio; 3) PBS (public TV) failed to produce one positive Republican story; 4) NPR (public radio) reported 45 pro-Obama stories (none was negative); 5) CNN (cable news) ran three negative Republican stories for every positive report, and 63% of its coverage of the GOP’s John McCain was negative (vs. 6% negative for Obama)."

"Do you wonder why 2008 election data show that the majority of Catholics voted for Barack Obama even though his record as Illinois state senator proves him the most pro-abortion candidate who ever ran for President? Perhaps one answer is that on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, millions of Catholics will again be putting in their church collection plate their annual donation to what the pre-printed envelope calls 'Campaign for Human Development: The Catholic Church working to end poverty and injustice in America. We'll turn your dollars into hope for the poor of our nation.' The generous Catholics who respond to that well-phrased appeal probably think they are making a Good Samaritan gift to provide necessaries to the down-and-out. Most would probably be shocked to learn that the money donated to the Campaign for Human Development (CHD) does not go for charity but for radical Obama-style community organizing. Over the last ten years, CHD has given $7.3 million of Catholic-donated dollars to the Saul Alinsky-style group called ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). When in 1998 some Catholics complained that CHD grants were not used for Catholic charity but were actually funding groups opposed to church teachings, CHD changed its name to Catholic Campaign for Human Development."

What was the reason given for creating the Department of Energy during the Carter administration? We have spent billions of dollars in support of this agency and I am willing to bet not one person who reads this will remember why it was established. It was very simple. The Department of Energy was instituted to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Note that the 2008 budget for the department is $24.2 billion. The agency has 16,000 federal employees and approximately 100,000 contract employees. What do they all do?
