as long as it's not their hands that get bloody.

that the bankers own congress.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new survey.

More than half of people who attend services at least once a week -- 54 percent -- said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is "often" or "sometimes" justified. Only 42 percent of people who "seldom or never" go to services agreed, according to the analysis released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

any religion or denying anyone equal rights.....unlike Obama who supports all of those things.

instead of the $780 billion rip off of taxpayers, or the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or the systematic removal of our constitutional rights.

he is against equal rights for gays/lesbians.

"I do not support gay marriage. Marriage has religious and social connotations, and I consider marriage to be between a man and a woman." [ from the Human Rights Campaign's 2008 Presidential questionnaire]

Miss California (for now) Carrie Prejean doesn't believe in same-sex marriage -- but what about sex before marriage ... on camera?

In the wake of Carrie's topless photo controversy, Vivid Entertainment -- one of the biggest adult film companies in the world -- has decided to test Prejean's moral toughness with a $1 million offer to star in one of their "films."

In the formal offer, mailed off to Prejean late Wednesday afternoon, Vivid makes it clear, "This is purely a business offer and has nothing to do with your religion or your personal beliefs."

when we need him???

there is no common ground.....you either believe it's a woman's right to choose what happens to her body or it's organized religion and the government's right.

that it would not surprise me if the freedom to choose is next.

Did you know that Obama has been lobbying the Supreme Court to reverse itself and remove the right to have an attorney present during questioning?

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overrule long-standing law that stops police from initiating questions unless a defendant's lawyer is present, another stark example of the White House seeking to limit rather than expand rights.

The administration's action — and several others — have disappointed civil rights and civil liberties groups that expected President Barack Obama to reverse the policies of his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, after the Democrat's call for change during the 2008 campaign.

Since taking office, Obama has drawn criticism for backing the continued imprisonment of enemy combatants in Afghanistan without trial, invoking the "state secrets" privilege to avoid releasing information in lawsuits and limiting the rights of prisoners to test genetic evidence used to convict them.

This is not the change that was promised.

with Obama, Lieberman, and Specter leading the way.

has been lost forever in favor of JJ Abrams' fast, spinning camera and special effects.

I mourn the loss of Star Trek.

and you'll get a different answer.

A recent leak from the White House let slip that Obama is searching for a Supreme Court justice who will overturn Roe v. Wade.

I guess it's payback for all of the money and support he received from organized religion during his campaign.

After spending last week lobbying the Supreme Court to reverse the decision that requires a lawyer present during questioning, Obama has had a busy week destroying the constitution.

hope it doesn't get cancelled, along with Terminator.

should not be allowed to practice therapy ever again.

that Obama has been searching for.

The Obama administration is preparing to revive the system of military commissions established at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, under new rules that would offer terrorism suspects greater legal protections, government officials said.

The rules would block the use of evidence obtained from coercive interrogations, tighten the admissibility of hearsay testimony and allow detainees greater freedom to choose their attorneys, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The military commissions have allowed the trial of terrorism suspects in a setting that favors the government and protects classified information, but they were sharply criticized during the administration of President George W. Bush. "By any measure, our system of trying detainees has been an enormous failure," then-candidate Barack Obama said in June 2008.

In one of its first acts, the Obama administration obtained a 120-day suspension of the military commissions; that will expire May 20. Human rights groups had interpreted the suspension as the death knell for military commissions and expected the transfer of cases to military courts martial or federal courts.

Officials said yesterday that the Obama administration will seek a 90-day extension of the suspension as early as next week. It would subsequently restart the commissions on American soil, probably at military bases, according to a lawyer briefed on the plan.

"This is an extraordinary development, and it's going to tarnish the image of American justice again," said Tom Parker, a counterterrorism specialist at Amnesty International.
