untitled American Thinker: Progressivism and the Dissolution of Boundaries The genie is out of the bottle, and has been for some time. Unfortunately, this genie has bestowed more curses than gifts upon mankind. The genie I am referring to goes by many names: liberalism, progressivism, idealism, secularism -- call it what you will, but the end game has been the degradation of morality, the trampling of traditional values, the destruction of the nuclear family, and the annihilation of our economy. Student Apathy Classroom teachers regularly report that their students are disrespectful, rude, and disengaged. Infanticide While reasonable and rational people can differ on reproductive rights, and even some conservatives can agree there are valid reasons for some abortions, the practice of partial-birth abortion is an abomination of the highest order. Scientific Historicism Social Darwinism Voter Disenfranchisement This rich history of deception and degradation rolls on in to present times, and has manifested itself, ironically, as voter intimidation.
Rebus Allusional device that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words A rebus ( REE-bəss) is a puzzle device that combines the use of illustrated pictures with individual letters to depict words or phrases. For example: the word "been" might be depicted by a rebus showing an illustrated bumblebee next to a plus sign (+) and the letter "n". Rebuses within heraldry [edit] Modern rebuses, word plays A modern example of the rebus used as a form of word play is: = Hear, or Here. By extension, it also uses the positioning of words or parts of words in relation to each other to convey a hidden meaning, for example: p walk ark: walk in the park. A rebus made up solely of letters (such as "CU" for "See you") is known as a gramogram, grammagram, or letteral word. The writing of correspondence in rebus form became popular in the eighteenth century and continued into the nineteenth century. Sigmund Freud[11] posited that the rebus was the basis for uncovering the latent content of the dream. Canada
Why Orthodox Jews are Opposed to the Zionist State The People of Israel oppose the so-called "State of Israel" for four reasons: FIRST -- The so-called "State of Israel" is diametrically opposed and completely contradictory to the true essence and foundation of the People of Israel, as is explained above. The only time that the People of Israel were permitted to have a state was two thousand years ago when the glory of the creator was upon us, and likewise in the future when the glory of the creator will once more be revealed, and the whole world will serve Him, then He Himself (without any human effort or force of arms) will grant us a kingdom founded on Divine Service. However, a worldly state, like those possessed by other peoples, is contradictory to the true essence of the People of Israel. SECOND -- Because of all of this and other reasons the Torah forbids us to end the exile and establish a state and army until the Holy One, blessed He, in His Glory and Essence will redeem us. Zionism will not replace the Jewish People.

tm) - Great! Glenn "Better Late than Never" Beck Finally Sees Liberation Theology For What It Is Topic category: Government/Politics Great! Glenn "Better Late than Never" Beck Finally Sees Liberation Theology For What It Is The good news is that Fox News host Glenn Beck's July 13, 2010 focused on how "progressives" shamelessly misuse theology for their radical political purposes. The bad news is that it took him so long. The truth was there years ago, but it was a place where the liberal media establishment would not go and others either did not dare or did not know. In "Obama Does NOT "Transcend Race" (March 21, 2008) (www.webcommentary.com/php/ShowArticle.php? To his credit, Fox News host and radio star Sean Hannity had sensed pay dirt in the Obama/Wright relationship and hosted Rev. But it took a year before Hannity had the video evidence against Rev. I wrote: "Did any of that come to you as a surprise? "Author Erik Rush: 'Obama has built broad appeal by presenting himself as sort of a generic, open-minded moderate Democrat (as Bill Clinton also did, by the way)? "The gulled ones, yes.
Theory of mind Zionism Theodor Herzl is considered the founder of the Zionist movement. In his 1896 book Der Judenstaat, he envisioned the founding of a future independent Jewish state during the 20th century. Zionism (Hebrew: צִיּוֹנוּת, translit. Defenders of Zionism say it is a national liberation movement for the repatriation of a dispersed socio-religious group to what they see as an abandoned homeland millennia before.[5][6][7] Critics of Zionism see it as a colonialist[8] or racist[9] ideology that led to the denial of rights, dispossession and expulsion of the "indigenous population of Palestine".[10][11][12][13] Overview Although initially one of several Jewish political movements offering alternative responses to assimilation and antisemitism, Zionism grew rapidly and became the dominant force in Jewish politics with the destruction of Jewish life in Central and Eastern Europe where these alternative movements were rooted. Zionism also sought assimilation into the modern world. Terminology Organization

How Much is a Million? Billion? What's the difference between a million, a billion, a trillion? A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years. A million minutes ago was – 1 year, 329 days, 10 hours and 40 minutes ago. A billion minutes ago was just after the time of Christ. A million hours ago was in 1885. A million dollars ago was five (5) seconds ago at the U.S. A trillion dollars is so large a number that only politicians can use the term in conversation... probably because they seldom think about what they are really saying. Trillion = 1,000,000,000,000.

A tale of two peace offers In 2008, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made the Palestinians an offer so reasonable and enlightened it made Ehud Barak's "generous offer" at Camp David look like the Treaty of Versailles. Bending over backwards to reach a peace settlement, Olmert offered the Palestinians a state on virtually all of the occupied territories. Alas, stubborn as always, Palestinian negotiators turned him down. Much like Barak's mythical "generous offer", this account of Olmert's proposal has been widely repeated, conforming as it does to convenient narratives that place the burden for the continuing conflict on the Palestinians, and demonstrating for all to see that, as Abba Eban famously put it, when it comes to peace, the Arabs "never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity". What did Olmert really offer? Already it is difficult to see what the fuss is about. If Olmert's deal was a non-starter, did the Palestinians offer an alternative? Key words:
6 Artists Who Use Technology in Their Work Throughout history, art has both influenced and been influenced by technology. This relationship has led to many exciting artworks. Here we explore six artists who have used machines within their work ... 1. Artist Anicka Yi is interested in the links between art and science. Yi’s installation In Love With The World populates the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern with floating machines which she calls aerobes. Combining forms of aquatic and terrestrial life, the aerobes signal new possibilities of hybrid machine species. Most AI functions like a mind without a body, but living organisms learn so much about the world through the senses. 2. In 1961 German artist Gustav Metzger became interested in the concept of auto-creative art which uses technology to construct processes of positive change and growth. 3. Often recognised as a founder of video art, Nam June Paik worked across video sculpture, television productions, robotic devices, performance and installation. 5. 6.
