Washington mdash; In an op-ed he wrote in 2005, newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson called abortion a holocaust and linked the judicial philosophy that legalized the right to an abortion to Hitler.The op-ed was a response to the death of Terri Schiavo, the Florida woman whose vegetative state triggered a long legal battle and federal action from Congress.In the opinion piece published by the Shreveport Times, Johnson wrote, The prevailing judicial philosophy is no different than Hitler s. Because the life of an stanley cup unbo stanley mug rn child or a disabled Terri Shiavo [sic], or the elderly and infirm may be difficult or inconvenient or even costly to society now means it can be terminated. He continued, This disregard for life has been fostered by the courts. During business hours today, 4,500 innocent American children will be killed. It is a holocaust that has been repeated every day for 32 years, since 1973 s Roe v. Wade.

stanley cup Last updated at 9:00 p.m. Easternresident Barack Obama on Wednesday signed and celebrated hate crime legislation that ex stanley thermobecher tends protection to people based on sexual orientation, sealing a long-fought victory to gay advocates. The president spoke of a nation becoming a place where we re all free to live and love as we see fit. The new law expands federal hate crimes to include those committed against people because of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. It also loosens limits on when federal law enforcement can intervene and prosecute crimes, amounting to the biggest expansion of the civil-rights era law in decades. No one in America should ever be afraid to walk down the street holding the hands of the person they love, Mr. Obama said in East Room reception, surrounded by joyous sup stanley cups uk porters. No one in America should be forced to look over their shoulder because of who they are, or because they live with a disability. Civil rights groups and their Democratic backers on Capitol Hill have tried for a decade to expand the hate crimes law, but fell short because of a lack of coordination between the House and Senate, or opposition from President George W. Bush. This time, the bill got through when Democrats attached it to a must-pass $680 billion defense measure. Mr. Obama signed the combined bill in a separate ceremony earlier on Wednesday.

PHILADELPHIA -- President Obama, in his final address as president to the Democratic National Convention passionately argued that America is already both great and strong, and that it s on a track that should continue -- a stark contrast with the dark picture painted by Donald Trump last week at the Republican convention.

HOUSING BUBBLE UPDATE....Last year I speculated that when the housing bubble burst, prices would decline by 10-20%, with the high end of that range being more likely than the low end. Aside from fellow bubble pessimists, most people at the time thought that seemed pretty ridiculous. But here s what the LA Times says today:No one knows how severe the slump will be, but economists and real estate experts interviewed by The Times, and who were willing to make predictions, said prices could fall 15% to 2 stanley cup 5% before turning back up.Most said values would continue falling through at least next year, and some thought the market wouldn t reverse course until 2010.....Leamer and Thornberg are among the most bearish of analysts, saying the recently ended housing boom pushed prices out of sync with incomes.... Southern California prices will fall 25% from their peak and won t find their bottom until the end of 2009, Thornberg said. Leamer also sees a drop-off at the high end of the range 151; 20% to 25% 151; and sees the down stanley water jug turn lasting into 2010.Yuck, yuck, yuck.

WASHINGTON The dispute over same-sex marriage between Dick Cheney s daughters is shining a bright light on the Republican Party s broader dilemma with this emotional issue.Public support fo stanley shop r same-sex marriage has been rising dramatically. Yet a big majority of Republicans oppose stanley bottles it. And they tend to nominate candidates for Congress and the presidency who are out of step with the shift in public opinion, at least at the national level.Republicans will confront this issue in congressional and governors races next year. It could play an even bigger role in the 2016 presidential election. Anyone supporting same-sex marriage would face tough resistance in GOP primaries, which conservatives dominate.The more attention the issue stanley quencher gets, the more it might alienate much-needed independent voters in the general election. Many of us in the Republican Party would like to see this issue go away, said Mark Graul, a Wisconsin political strategist. Still, he said, same-sex marriage is a less important issue than it has been portrayed, and relatively small numbers of voters consider it their top priority.Cheney, the former vice president, is trying to limit the political damage to his daughter Liz, who wants to oust three-term GOP Sen. Mike Enzi in next year s Wyoming primary. Liz s sister, Mary Cheney, is married to her long-time companion, Heather Poe. The two sisters began a highly public quarrel Sunday when Liz Cheney told Fox News Sunday she Sykj Romney says his conservatism will shine through at CPAC
