Now just how would that have made a difference, "tough guy"?
The Dems are mostly the kind of people who worship "diversity"
and "multiculturalism" so much that they defend such rights
abuses as "what they do there".

Yeah, whatever happened to the Left that didn't have a double
standard when it came to human rights abuses in Third World
countries even when there was no history of democracy? They
had no problem with women being executed for listening to CDs
or attending a clandestine school, or for being a homosexual,
or whatever. "It's what they do there".

Right, "tough guy"?

Your poor writing skills made it appear that the

earlier criticism of what he's now doing himself.

Nope - never did that.

Priest who mocked Clinton again draws spotlight

May 30, 7:44 PM (ET)

By DON BABWIN

(AP)

CHICAGO (AP) - He's a white priest at a largely black church. He's held
hands with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. He's been arrested
dozens of times and battled anyone he thinks has wronged his parish -
from gun dealers to a local Catholic sports league. Now the Rev. Michael
Pfleger is something else: the latest thorn in the side of presidential
candidate Barack Obama.

Racially charged comments Pfleger made last week mocking Obama rival
Hillary Rodham Clinton - as a guest at Obama's church, no less -
triggered a quick response from Obama, who wants nothing to do with a
racial firestorm like the one generated by his former pastor, the Rev.
Jeremiah Wright.

Dems seek to nationalize hurricane insurance...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

WASHINGTON -- As hurricane season begins, Democrats in Congress want to
nationalize a chunk of the insurance business that covers major storm-
damage claims.

The proposal -- backed by giant insurers Allstate Corp. and State Farm
Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., as well as Florida lawmakers -- focuses
on "reinsurance," the policies bought by insurers themselves to protect
against catastrophic losses. The proposal envisions a taxpayer-financed
reinsurance program covering all 50 states, which would essentially
backstop the giant insurers in case of disaster.

The program could save homeowners roughly $500 apiece in annual premiums
in Florida, according to an advocacy group backed by Allstate and State
Farm, the largest writers of property insurance in the U.S.

Debate Over Plans to Fly 'World's Largest' Confederate Flag Over Busy
Tampa Intersection
Saturday, May 31, 2008

A giant Confederate battle flag may soon be flying near a Tampa highway
intersection.

A Confederate heritage group called the Sons of Confederate Veterans
plans to fly the 30-by-50 flag atop a 139-foot pole, the highest the FAA
will allow.

The group, which bills its Confederate flag as the "world's largest,"
expects to have it in place by 2009, The St. Petersburg Times reported.

The group has building permits but still needs $30,000 to complete the
project, which will be located on private property at the intersection of
Interstates 4 and 75.

Organizers say the flag is not a racist statement but a piece of history.
They hope it encourages people to stop and see a monument to Confederate
soldiers that they plan to build.

Local NAACP president Curtis Stokes, however, says he was shocked to hear
about plans to have the flag flying next year.
