Conservative on Target! FBI Goes Solar, Ponzi Perry, No Baptists Wanted, Holder Hides, Overty & More

The FBI Is Raiding Obama's Favorite Solar Company: The Obama administration's relationship with the company has come under scrutiny since the bankruptcy was abruptly announced last week. The Daily Caller reported that between March 12, 2009, and April 14, 2011, "Solyndra officials and investors made no fewer than 20 trips to the West Wing."


Cato's Pilon: Perry Correct on Social Security: “Give Rick Perry credit: he had the courage to call Social Security a Ponzi scheme, which it is,” Pilon wrote on Politico. “As with all such schemes, early entrants got something for nothing (or very little). Late entrants will get nothing for something. Social Security started with 16 contributors for every recipient. It's now down to fewer than 3, and headed for 2. It's unsustainable, as Perry said. A private company that ran such a scheme would be prosecuted in less than a New York minute. We should be grateful that a major candidate has finally spoken truth to fiction.”

“A Call to Compassion” will include an interfaith prayer vigil on Sept. 11th. It will feature the dean of the Cathedral, the Bishop of Washington, a rabbi, Buddhist nun and incarnate lama, a Hindu priest, the president of the Islamic Society of North America and a Muslim musician.
   However, Southern Baptists, representing the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, were not invited to participate – and neither were leaders from any evangelical Christian organization.
   “It’s not surprising,” said Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. “There is a tragic intolerance toward Protestants and particularly toward evangelicals and I wish the president would refuse to speak unless it was more representative.”
Attorney General Eric Holder claimed Wednesday that neither he nor other higher-ups at the Justice Department had prior knowledge of the massive Fast and Furious gun-running operation within his own department. [We truly need a better liar as the head of DOJ. How smart can Holder be? – JS]
News Outlets Twist Numbers to Exaggerate Same-Sex Statistics: Although people have been bamboozled by recent polls which claim Americans believe 25 percent of our population is “gay,” the reality is that those who identify as “homosexual” make up a far smaller portion of our population. Nevertheless, they seek to impose comprehensive social change on Americans.
