Hannity & Colmes: Art Linkletter on Why He Supports the Bush Social Security Plan (Fox News)


LINKLETTER: I know the president very well. I have visited with him, well, many times — well, once.

[Note: Letourneau served 7 1/2 years in jail for having sex with her 13-year-old former student.]

LETOURNEAU: Well, all the normal things, except obviously, you know, we don't go to a place that's like a bar, a drinking establishment...

By Matt Friedeman, PhD

Many evangelicals…are immersed in a Christianity that allows them to lie, cheat, beat their wives, neglect the poor, and live life any way they darned well want to with an attitude of "I'm-cool-'cause-Jesus-loves-me-and-so-I-don't-owe-you-a-thing."

This article was featured in Agape Press, which promotes itself as the Christian News Service.

Okay. Write your own "If Limbaugh's mother had only known…" joke.

U.S. English, Inc. Chairman Denounces the Use of Spanish on Senate Floor (link)

Statement by Mauro E. Mujica

As a naturalized citizen of the United States, I was appalled by Senator Mel Martinez’s Spanish language speech on the floor of the Senate yesterday. Making an address in a language other than English is an affront to Sen. Martinez’s colleagues, constituents and all of America.

Vaya con Dios….
