World needs to stabilise population and cut consumption, says Royal Society
World population needs to be stabilised quickly and high consumption in rich countries rapidly reduced to avoid "a downward spiral of economic and environmental ills", warns a major report from the Royal Society.

Ron Paul Could Still Win Enough Delegates To Deny Mitt Romney The Republican Nomination
Despite what you may have heard from the mainstream media, Mitt Romney does not have the Republican nomination locked up.

The TSA's mission creep is making the US a police state
In the past year, TSA's snakelike VIPR (Visual Intermodal Prevention and Response) teams have been slithering into more and more bus and train stations – and even running checkpoints on highways – never in response to actual threats, but apparently more in an attempt to live up to the inspirational motto displayed at the TSA's air marshal training center since the agency's inception: "Dominate. Intimidate. Control."

John Ritenbaugh, observing that President Obama is presumptuously thumbing his arrogant nose at God, endorsing homosexual marriage, concludes that our hedonistic, self-centered society as a whole does not seem to care what God thinks. President Obama, sticking his finger in the air, discovering that 50% of the electorate now apparently favors same-sex marriage, boldly proclaims that he has carefully and thoughtfully ‘evolved’ into that brave political position. Over the preceding decades, feminists and homosexuals, modeling their protests on the example of the Black Civil Rights movement, suggest that they are the ‘only’ ones “discriminated against.” This disgusting Chutzpah ignores the blatant fact that the over 50 white male professionals and the Christian (especially Sabbath- keeping Christians) are clearly the most discriminated - against members of society. Certainly, society has discriminated against the young Mormon male more than it has ever discriminated against women, who surprisingly, are not a minority at all, but actually constitute the majority of the population. Political correctness seems to allow for selected groups of people (seen by opportunist politicians as potential voter constituencies) to bellyache, whine and kvetch about their alleged ‘unfair’ treatment, while turning a blind eye on people who are actually persecuted for righteousness sake, trying to follow God’s standards.
