The left-wing media and liberal Thought Police are after Rush Limbaugh with what appear to be fabricated quotations painting him as a racist [see Fox News story HERE]. Do those attacking Rush know that for years, Limbaugh has featured conservative George Mason University economist Walter Williams (right) as a guest-host for his popular radio show? Williams, as you can see, is black.

I suppose the radical Rush-haters might speculate that in allowing an African American to host his show, Limbaugh is merely creating a public cover for his racism. But I think the truth is that Rush is color-blind and instead is serving his huge audience by letting them listen to and learn from one of America’s most popular conservatives, one with a gift for explaining economics to the public.

NOTE: The date of our banquet has been changed to Saturday, Oct. 24th

SAVE THE DATE, Saturday Oct 24: Please save the evening of Saturday, October 24 to attend Americans For Truth’s banquet. Our featured speaker is Matt Barber, culture warrior for Liberty Counsel. Matt is quite a guy, to say the least. He’s gone from being a professional heavyweight boxer, to being fired by Allstate Insurance Company in 2005 because he wrote an online article — on his own time — critical of organized homosexuality, to his current position as one of America’s leading defenders of natural marriage and family. AFTAH got rave reviews for its last banquet; you won’t want to miss this one! The event will be held outside Chicago, at the Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, IL. Tickets are $50 per person. You can prepay online at www.americansfortruth.com/donate/ (just note “AFTAH banquet” in the Paypal or Credit Card form) or mail your check (designate: “AFTAH banquet”) to: Americans For Truth, PO Box 5522, Naperville, IL 60567-5522.  Write us at  americansfortruth@comcast.net, or call Donna at 910-308-7619, for additional information. Please spread the word and we hope to see you there on Oct. 24th!

Note: you can read some of Matt’s columns by plugging his name in the “Search” button on the upper right corner of the AFTAH website.

I received this in an e-mail, with the following message. Check it out. Unbelievable. — Peter L.:

Click on this photo [in link below] taken of the vast crowd of people present at the Obama inauguration with a new “robotic camera.”  Pick out any individual among the formless masses, and focus in upon him/her.  This is the kind of surveillance technology that leaves no place to hide from the prying eyes of ‘Big Brother.’  There is no more getting lost in the crowd.

Ninth Circuit chief judge into freakish porn

The Los Angeles Times reports today:

One of the highest-ranking federal judges in the United States, who is currently presiding over an obscenity trial in Los Angeles, has maintained his own publicly accessible website featuring sexually explicit photos and videos.

Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, acknowledged in an interview with The Times that he had posted the materials, which included a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows and a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal. Some of the material was inappropriate, he conceded, although he defended other sexually explicit content as “funny.”

Kozinski, 57, said that he thought the site was for his private storage and that he was not aware the images could be seen by the public, although he also said he had shared some material on the site with friends. After the interview Tuesday evening, he blocked public access to the site….

For all its flaws, America is still the most noble super-power on the planet — using its power, for the most part, not for empire or greed, as the Left asserts, but to defend freedom. Today we honor our recent fallen, including Army Spc. Jeffrey Nichols, of Granite Shoals, Texas, who was killed in Baghdad, Iraq, May 1 when his vehicle was hit by a makeshift roadside bomb.

The Western Left is wrong and cruel to assert that Nichols and thousands like him died in vain — even as they agitate to effect an abrupt pullout of American power from Iraq which, like it did in Vietnam, could lead to mass slaughter and despotism. Take some moments to view the stories of our recent fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan, and say a prayer for their families. Americans and the people of Iraq, Afghanistan and countless foreign lands across the globe owe our fallen fighting men and women a debt of gratitude for paying the ultimate price in defense of the liberties that we take for granted every day. — Peter LaBarbera
