Blessed be the peacemakers!
Master peace-architects from around the globe, including the Bush administration and the Putin government, have put together a comprehensive roadmap for Israeli-Palestinian peace.

“Charlton Heston… stood before a convention of gun owners on Saturday, raised an 1866 Winchester rifle above his head and defiantly proclaimed in a weak voice, “From my cold dead hands.” Not quite ready to leave the limelight after stepping down on Friday as the president of the National Rifle Association…

CARLSON: Welcome back to “Crossfire.” And now, to the topic of the day - “Crossfire” in the Crossfire. Why did we get busted down to a half hour in the middle of the afternoon? Have we lost our edge, […]
