And yet another Democrat is included in the PMA Group mess:
Rep. Pete Visclosky (D-Ind.) has been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury looking into the PMA Group, a once-high flying lobbying firm that collapsed after a federal raid in November.
The Visclosky subpoena is the first formal indication that the criminal probe into PMA extends to [...]
Liberty University Isn’t Living Up To Its Name
Posted in Education, Law, Society, tagged First Amendment, freedom of speech, Liberty University on 29 May 2009 | 2 Comments »
Apparently, Liberty University (founded by Jerry Falwell) doesn’t believe in liberty on campus. They’ve removed official recognition from a group of Democrats who were meeting on their campus.

All the usual leftymedia suspects and lefties in gubment are going bonkers over how wonderful Sonia Sotomayor is.
However, it’s worth considering how many of those same lefties, including the one now in the Oval Office, treated a prior Hispanic judge nominated to a high position: Miguel Estrada, who was nominated to the US Court of [...]

Here we go again…
Over the past five years, a local defense contractor with close ties to Rep. John P. Murtha, a Democrat who has represented southwestern Pennsylvania for three decades, has selected several small police departments in the region to receive $10 million in Justice Department grants.
The company, Mountaintop Technologies, was selected by the [...]

That seems to be the message from House Democrats:
House Democrats on Thursday defeated a Republican push to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s assertion that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against terrorism suspects.
Republicans Ron Paul of Texas and Walter Jones of North Carolina joined Democrats in voting 252-172 to [...]
