By Michael J. Gaynor - To those determined to force "Sarah Barracuda" off the Republican ticket: Like the election of President Obama, this is not going to happen!

by Carey Roberts - In places the book revels in bipartisan happy-talk ("I came to Congress to build bridges, not burn them"). Then she shows her other side. Describing a meeting she had with President Bush to discuss the Katrina flooding, she hisses, "This President is in denial. He is therefore dangerous."

The Republican National Convention has been interesting if not useful in a major regard: its reliable falsehood.

I find the concept itself striking: what in general can be considered reliable, much less reliably false? To borrow a distinction made by Harry Frankfurt, while bullshit abounds, the number of conclusively identifiable liars who truck in "credible" deceit is comparatively scarce.

Crime - by Jim Kouri - More than 900 criminal aliens, immigration fugitives, and immigration violators have been removed from the United States or are facing deportation today following a three-week enforcement surge by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Fugitive Operations Teams in California.

Columnists - Not paying attention to people threatening to kill you can have lethal consequences.

by Christopher G. Adamo - Throughout history, just as surely as human beings suffered pain and deprivation from their natural surroundings or at the hands of their fellow humans, so were aspiring despots quick to recognize the benefits of turmoil and upheaval when seeking to garner loyalty and submission from the masses.

by Michael John McCrae - Now that there is a legitimate female threat to the status quo of congressional, male-infested, pork-barrel ear-marking in the nomination of Sarah Palin to the United States Vice-Presidency, there are all kinds of questions in the form of rumor and innuendo concerning the proper vetting of this woman politician.

By Marie Jon' - While Republican conservatives were looking at Govs. Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty to fill the VP slot for Sen. John McCain, there was a distant buzz. Another name was floating around. The day after Barack Obama gave his convention speech at Denver's Invesco Field, which was brimming with tens of thousands of enthusiastic Democrats, there came a stunning announcement. John McCain selected the first Republican woman VP candidate, Sarah "Baracuda" Palin. The Democrat's big night was blunted. The airwaves were filled with the news of the newcomer who would be welcomed in Dayton, Ohio, one day after the anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. Gov. Palin's name would change the presidential race in 2008. Senator McCain made his announcement at Nutter Center with its exuberant crowd of 12,000 Republicans. He proudly named Alaska Gov. Palin to be his running mate. He introduced the very attractive looking forty-four year old at a hometown type rally with a touch of old fashion Americana. "My friends and fellow Americans, I am very pleased and very privileged to introduce to you the next vice president of the United States, Governor Sarah Palin of the great state of Alaska." Senator McCain Gov. Palin is a "can do" independent thinking woman who does not always go along with group-think. She'll take on political corruption in Washington, D.C. There is nothing pretentious about her. She is a bright, intelligent, common sense person who will help McCain bring about the change we've all been hearing about. Palin is the perfect compliment VP for McCain. Her physical beauty radiates from within. In 1984 she was a runner-up for Miss Alaska. I'll liken her to Ester in the Bible, who was also a maverick. With charm and poise, she is an upbeat energetic positive public speaker. The new VP pick is a graduate from the University of Idaho with a B.S. in Communications and Journalism. Kudos to McCain who has chosen a winning ticket that America can feel good about. As the days swiftly go by we will have the opportunity to become acquainted with her. Way to go Sarah. Your life is an open book. You and your family face the same struggles that many Christian parents must tackle when raising children in a society that is bombarded with the very liberal Pop Culture that glorifies pre-marital sex. "Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support." Sarah Palin It must be understood that McCain knew of Bristol's pregnancy when he selected Palin as his running mate last week. We wish her daughter's upcoming nuptials blessings and God's speed. With Palin's name on the GOP ticket it brings a stark contrast when it comes to matters of life and death. Although Republicans understand that not all Americans are in agreement on the abortion issues facing our country today, most want "their parental rights" given back to them that have been legislated away.

Akeli.Hunter@ppfa.org (212) 261-4760 [p] 434 West 33rd Street | New York, NY 10001 Planned Parenthood has sway over our children. Get smart and understand what the media, who carries the water for the Democrats, is trying to do to Sarah Palin's seventeen year old daughter. Shame on those for denigrating this young lady for having her child instead of aborting it, while belittling her family's convictions. The ticket of McCain and Palin are strong abortion opponents. That can not be said about Barack Obama, who embraces infanticide, or Joe Biden, who professes to be a Catholic and should know better, adhere to a women's right to choose, "Oh Ye of Little Faith." (Matthew 16:8)
