  Jewschool — Authority: 540
  The second day of the 2009 Hazon Food Conference is another GORGEOUS, sunny California day. This morning I was able to attend two sessions. The first was focusing on kosher slaughter, specifically regarding the chickens which were slaughtered and prepped by volunteers at the conference a few days ago. The next ...

• Litmus Test Currently Dead

  
  Right on the Left Coast: Views From a Conservative Teacher — Authority: 484
  Ive written twice recently about the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities plan for an ideological litmus test for prospective teachers (and you might correctly guess that its a somewhat left-leaning litmus test). Joanne reports that under pressure from FIRE, the school has backed down--at least for now. ...

• What child is this?

  
  Larry James' Urban Daily — Authority: 129
  [This post appeared last year on Christmas day.  It is repeated here at the request of a reader. LJ] It is a very good question, and more than worthy of our reflection. Over the years Ive come to the conclusion that grappling with this question is especially important as we consider both our own understandings of ...

  Dream Awakener — Authority: 124
  I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and share with you the greatest Christmas carol ever written.  It wasn’t Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer , it was a song that a very ordinary, poor, young, uneducated teenage girl sang 2,000 years ago.   The greatest Christmas carol was also the first, and it was sung by ...

• So The Senate Has Passed the Health Care Bill-Bah Humbug

  
  Opinionated Catholic — Authority: 149
  Sad I suppose to be talking so much politics on Christmas Eve but well they had the vote today so what can you do. This whole Health Care bill shows in many ways how the media has fallen down on the job. It also shows I think the danger of even progressive and even SOME Catholic Social Justice groups from being so ...

• Rep Stupak Gives Christmas Eve Thoughts On Health Care Bill

  
  Opinionated Catholic — Authority: 149
  I think this Congressman that 95 percent of Americans never of heard of last year is going to be enjoying this moment of his in the SUN. More problems for the Big O and perhaps shows why the White House is now looking at February at the earliest for a vote. Stupak: ‘You Don’t Buy Me Off’ [Robert Costa] ...

• Why Mickey Kaus Might Have The Best New Year Ever!!!

  
  Opinionated Catholic — Authority: 149
  I like Democrat pundit Mickey Kaus at Slate. Even though we have been on opposite sides at times on many issues. He speaks truth to power as it were including the media. Kaus supports the Health Care Bill and it is a big deal to him. Please note he is honest and does not buy all this deficit reducing spin. See his ...

• This Week with Henri Nouwen – The Heart of Jesus

  
  Dream Awakener — Authority: 124
  “Jesus is the vulnerable child, the humble preacher, the despised, rejected, and crucified Christ. But Jesus also is “the image of the unseen God, the first-born of all creation, … [who] exists before all things and in him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:15,17). Jesus is the King, ridiculed on the ...

  The Impudent Observer - Global Liberal Issues — Authority: 146
  Historically, Jewish people were in the forefront of movements that endeavored to further basic human freedoms and to foster peace in the world. A new American Jewish group, J Street, has come into being over the past few years with a goal of “pro-Israel-pro-Peace.” The Israel Ambassador to the United States, ...

• Limbaugh Wrong–Obama Is NOT Another Hitler!

  
  The Impudent Observer - Global Liberal Issues — Authority: 146
  Right wing newscasts continue spouting claims that President Barack Obama is another Hitler who seeks to bring Nazism to this country. We offer evidence to refute this theory. Hitler was short– Obama is tall. Hitler had a mistress — Obama has a wife (at least as far as we know) Hitler had a moustache — Obama ...

• Free Speech Society Free With Its Muslim Insults!

  
  The Impudent Observer - Global Liberal Issues — Authority: 146
  The president of the Free Speech Society in Denmark recently rather freely expressed his views on Muslims. Lars Hedegaard in an interview with the Snappen website let it all hang out as far as Muslims were concerned. “When a Muslim rapes a woman, it is his right to do it. Whenever it is prudent for a Muslim to ...

  The Impudent Observer - Global Liberal Issues — Authority: 146
  There is a quiet movement spreading across many areas of the Catholic world in which intelligent people are posing questions about the leadership of their church.

  The Impudent Observer - Global Liberal Issues — Authority: 146
  The question that will not go away from the life of Tony Blair is what did he know about WMD and what advice was given to him regarding his decision to enter the war against Iraq.

• The State of Israeli Civil Rights 2009

  
  Jewschool — Authority: 540
  Democracy or ethnocracy? The only democracy in the Middle East or just the easiest to swallow? Israel offers many of the protections we expect of self-labeled Western democracies. Women can vote. The press is vibrant. There is separation of governmental powers. In some cases, Israel is ahead of the US, such as ...

  Opinionated Catholic — Authority: 149
  I must say I thought he would follow protocal and shut up while he was there . Undiplomatic Kmiec [Ed Whelan] I had imagined that an incidental benefit of Doug Kmiec’s appointment as attorney general of Wales — oops, I mean as U.S. ambassador to Malta — was that he would no longer be publicly offering ...
