Who was Paul Weyrich you ask:

Weyrich was one of the earliest commentators to advance the idea that the United States is engulfed in a “cultural civil war.”

Describing this “cultural civil war,” Weyrich once said, “It may not be with bullets, and it may not be with rockets and missiles, but it is a war, nonetheless. It is a war of ideology, it’s a war of ideas, it’s a war about our way of life. And it has to be fought with the same intensity, I think, and dedication as you would fight a shooting war.”

Paul Weyrich, a great conservative leader, cofounder of the Heritage Foundation, will be dearly missed.

I implore you, if you do not know what this man stood for and accomplished with his life, to find out.  We can all learn from him.

Inmates to buy own meals, hunger strike planned to protest

PHOENIX – Tough economic times, according to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, prompted him to start charging the inmates for their meals.

Yes, Phoenix is one of the cities asking for federal financial aide - but it’s not because of Sheriff Joe.

He says his plan will save close to a million tax dollars. The meal charges do not start until January but inmates at the Durango Jail and Tent City are planning to protest the new fees Monday morning.

Maricopa County inmates have long complained about jail food. Inmates say when inspectors are there, portions and quality are fine but when inspectors leave, inmates say it becomes inedible.

 Ok, let’s cut in here - The Friends of America does not support the “criminals are victims” theory.  Here’s a tip:  if you don’t like jail food, then STOP DOING CRIMES AND GOING TO JAIL!

Needless to say, the sheriff’s new plan to have inmates pay $1.25 a day for their two meals is not going over well behind bars. One man, who 3TV will only identify as Frank is just out of jail. He says starting Monday the inmates will boycott their meals. He tells 3TV, “It’s something they have to do to show they’re upset.”

Upset?  YOU committed the crime, and now you expect ME to buy your food?  Seriously, you’re lucky you get fed at all, you should be thanking God for the 6th and 8th amendments.  I guess that’s why you did the crime in the first place, because it’s someone else’s fault you’re hungry, someone else’s fault you’re a criminal.

The hunger strike, which is expected to last from one to three days, is earning the inmates little sympathy from the sheriff. Sheriff Arpaio tells 3TV, “If they don’t want to eat, that’s their problem, not my problem.”

When is Joe running for president?

Yes that’s right America, the popular conservative activist web group known as “the Friends of America” has finally (yes, finally) gone public with a blog and news section.

Editor:  Really? do you mean it?  it’s about freaking time…Friends of America Indeed!

Braving the risk of spammers, trolls and obnoxious commentators, the Friends of America site additions will feature a blog with entries from several of the brightest editors and news commentary from the same, absolutely brilliant editors.

Oh my…I can’t wait.  No really I can’t.  So what’s going to be first? some self touting article with forced humor in place of some actual inteligence?

Thought so.
