Kevin Puts It Together Here is a good one from Kevin Jackson of The Black Sphere. Painful truth that many can and/or will not accept especially in the black community about those we traveled down the liberal left road. So I am quite sure you know what names he is being called. The words from the mouths of elected, appointed officials and others such as Mark Lloyd, Communications Director Anita Dunn, Rep. Maxine Waters, Manufacturing Czar Ron Bloom, Former Labor Secretary and current Presidential Advisor Robert Reich and more indicate a political and economical view that is anything but free market capitalism.
Zo Keeps It Coming It's time to hear from Zo again. He breaks it down on conservative growth and leadership.

Former Muslims Speaking Out The following is from Former Muslim and Apostate, Nonie Darwish:
If anyone wants to know the interpretation of the word ‘jihad’ in Islam, just open the index in Sharia books and look it up. According to Shafi’I law jihad means “to war with non-Muslims to establish the religion”; nothing vague or ambiguous there. To understand what is the punishment for apostasy, it is also very simple, Sharia books are all unanimous and without exception, state that an apostate must be given 3 days to repent and if s/he does not, then s/he must be killed immediately. Apostasy law is at the heart of Islam, the only religion on earth that kill those who leave it. That is why to make sure it will be carried out regardless of government compliance, Muslim law entrusted its enforcement to the public. Thus Sharia states that a Muslim who kills an apostate will not be punished. No ifs ands or buts. Vigilante street violence against apostates is thereby allowed even encouraged, under Muslim law.
I have to admit that I went through a period of trying to rationalize something like the following quote.
...sanctity of human life is “best upheld” when it is made carefully, not when women are “coerced to carry a pregnancy to term.”
That quote is from an open letter to U.S. Senators and guess who the letter is from? Clerics! Over 1000 of them! And denominations such as the American Baptist, Church of the Brethren, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), United Church of Christ, and The United Methodist Church among others endorse this open letter!

William Kamkwamba I did a post on William Kamkwamba last year. The link to the post is available in the lower end of my sidebar under "Did You Read This One." Mr. Kamkwamba (a Facebook friend) wrote The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope about his experiences. It is still amazing to me what he was able to accomplish with a few library books providing the instruction. He co-wrote an enviromental piece about Malawi over at the Huffington Post. While reading it, count your blessings.
A Faith Based Prison A Christian faith based prison is awaiting state approval in Wakita, Oklahoma. This prison will house inmates serving their final 12 to 24 months in the system. A church group will be working with them and their families. Inmates will be taught how to become citizens again. Individuals from the church group will continue to mentor inmates in their ex-convict status. Read more here.
The End Benefits For a Man Given Domestic Chores and Activities Growing Up For a long time I worked in the same place with a male who was a part of the custodial department. He said because he cleaned for a living, he did not do housework at home. He had daughters and a son. He always defended not giving his son any way near the amount of household chores that were given to his daughters. I wonder what he would say about this tribute from Charles Martel to being assigned domestic chores and taught domestic activities while growing up!
Thoughts on the Late Ted Kennedy Sen. Kennedy was highly respected by people around me despite Chappaquiddick. One of my late aunts loved the Kennedy family and always thought Ted Kennedy would make a great president. But after Chappaquiddick (which happen a few days after I turned 18) during my Democrat years, Mary Jo Kopechne always came to mind whenever Ted Kennedy came up in the news.
I am seeing far more non tributes to Sen. Ted Kennedy than respectful tributes. Coming from a very wealthy family, Sen. Kennedy never had to worry about money and paying bills. I remember reading an article on his first wife Joan. She said that the Kennedy wealth allowed him to donate his senate salary to charity. Say what you want, you have to admit he was a tireless fighter for liberal causes. A viewer comment read on Bill O'Reilly's program said that he wished there were more conservatives in Congress with the fighting spirit of Sen. Kennedy.
Rifqa Bary Are you continuing to pray for 17 years old Rifqa Bary (She prefers not to use her first name Fathima)? Please keep her in your prayers. Her dependency hearing is on Sept 3rd. She must not be sent home to her father. Please check out the Atlas Shrugs blog for posts dealing with Rifqa Bary like this one.
She is now an apostate to Islam for converting to Christianity. Rifqa Bary says that Jesus Christ is her Savior. The Quran calls for the killing of apostates and she says her father must prove he loves Islam over her. I implore you to email the Florida Governor at charlie.crist@myflorida.com on behalf of Rifqa Bary. She needs to be emancipated from her parents.

Zo is now with Pajamas Media exclusively. They do not offer an embedding code for their free videos. Just click on the image (a video promo will appear first for a few seconds) to hear Zo on human rights as they relate to Iran in comparison to the United States.
We Americans really take our freedoms for granted! Zo also takes human rights further with current leadership attitudes toward the unborn and universal healthcare. Zo is so good. He hits the nail on the head every time. Just click on the Zonation image to view the video.
Zo just knows how to take it to the liberals. He hits the "it's okay for liberals to speak out on their positions and get paid for it, but not conservative people (especially concerning people of color). Conservative people get accused of being sellouts and opportunists. Well Zo sets them straight.
