Power Drives Politicians

Too many people who will go to the polls next November will be voting because of what the person they will vote for has promised they will do for the voter. Love of self and the drift towards the "big brother will take care of me" philosophy, has made voters pawn of wordsmiths who can eloquently promises things they know will be impossible to produce. Things that a large portion of the population feel they need and have a right to have.

The problem is it takes the Congress and the President to deliver Presidential campaign promises, and that spirit of co-operation has not existed since the Roosevelt "reign" during the years of WWII.

Advocacy politics is really about the quest for power. The power to accomplish the politicians quest to attain a powerful position in the here and now and in history.

We are faced with two Democrats who are both radical leftists hiding in "sheep's clothing" and a Republican who can be best described as left leaning moderate in John McCain.

The only decision for the voters is who will maintain our free capitalist system if elected, and not try to march us further down the road to Godless Socialism?

Many media sources have noted the radical acquaintances of Obama like Bill Ayers and his radical Pastor Wright. They also hav wrotten and spoken about the Clinton's association with Charley Trie, Chung, Riady,John Huang and the Lippo banks. But there has been little coverage of both having connections with the political philosophy of a Chicago activist named Saul Alinsky (1909-1972), an advocate of "power" politics. He once said this:"“The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.” – Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals

To help those who drop by to read my blog, I enclose an article written in 2007 by Richard Poe, which illustrates the background and basic philosophic principles that motivate two of the candidates. Bloggers note: So enthralled with Alinsky, she brought Saul Alinsky to the Wellesley campus to give his views on revolution. So worshipful was she that Alinsky offered her a job after she graduated. She turned him down to continue her studies. source:Newsweek

"Most Americans never heard of Saul Alinsky. Yet his shadow darkens our coming election. Democrat front runners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both worship at the altar of Alinskyism.
In a 1971 book called Rules for Radicals, Alinsky scolded the Sixties Left for scaring off potential converts in Middle America. True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within.
Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties.
In his native Chicago, Alinsky courted power wherever he found it. His alliance with prominent Catholic clerics, such as Bishop Bernard Sheil, gave him respectability. His friendship with crime bosses such as Frank Nitti – Al Capone’s second-in-command – gave Alinsky clout on the street.
In our book The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Sixties Radicals Siezed Control of the Democratic Party, my co-author David Horowitz and I trace the rise of Alinsky’s political influence since the 1930s.
He excelled at wooing wealthy funders. Start-up money for his Industrial Areas Foundation – a training school for radical organizers – came from department-store mogul Marshall Field III, Sears Roebuck heiress Adele Rosenwald Levy, and Gardiner Howland Shaw, an assistant secretary of state for Franklin Roosevelt.

Alinsky once boasted, “I feel confident that I could persuade a millionaire on a Friday to subsidize a revolution for Saturday out of which he would make a huge profit on Sunday even though he was certain to be executed on Monday.”
One Alinsky benefactor was Wall Street investment banker Eugene Meyer, who served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1930 to 1933. Meyer and his wife Agnes co-owned The Washington Post. They used their newspaper to promote Alinsky.
Agnes Meyer personally wrote a six-part series in 1945, praising Alinsky’s work in Chicago slums. Her series, called “The Orderly Revolution”, made Alinsky famous. President Truman ordered 100 reprints of it.
During the Sixties, Alinsky wielded tremendous power behind the scenes.
When President Johnson launched his War on Poverty in 1964, Alinsky allies infiltrated the program, steering federal money into Alinsky projects.
In 1966, Senator Robert Kennedy allied himself with union leader Cesar Chavez, an Alinsky disciple. Chavez had worked ten years for Alinsky, beginning in 1952. Kennedy soon drifted into Alinsky’s circle.
After race riots shook Rochester, New York, Alinsky descended on the city and began pressuring Eastman-Kodak to hire more blacks. Kennedy supported Alinsky’s shakedown. The two men had an “understanding”, Alinsky later wrote.
Alinsky’s crowning achievement was his recruitment of a young high school student named Hillary Rodham. She met Alinsky through a radical church group. Hillary wrote an analysis of Alinsky’s methods for her senior thesis at Wellesley College. They remained friends until Alinsky’s death in 1972.
Alinsky tried to hire Hillary as a community organizer, but she chose instead to attend Yale Law School. Nonetheless, Alinsky’s network continued guiding Hillary’s career.
Fresh out of law school at age 26, Hillary received a prestigious appointment to the House Judiciary Committee’s Watergate investigative team in 1974. She got the job on the recommendation of Peter and Marian Wright Edelman.
The Edelmans have been trusted mentors of Hillary since 1969. New Republic editor Martin Peretz called Marian “Hillary’s closest sister and ideological soulmate”. Marian Wright Edelman also happens to be an Alinskyite, having served on the Board of Trustees of Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation.
Many leftists view Hillary as a sell-out because she claims to hold moderate views on some issues. However, Hillary is simply following Alinsky’s counsel to do and say whatever it takes to gain power.
Barack Obama is also an Alinskyite. Trained by Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation, Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project. Later, he worked with ACORN and its offshoot Project Vote, both creations of the Alinsky network.
Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer.
That Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama share an Alinskyite background tells us two things. First, they are leftists, dedicated to overthrowing our Constitutional system. Second, they will go to any length to conceal their radicalism from the public.
That is the Alinsky method. And that is today’s Democratic Party".

Do we really want to trip merrily down the road toward the kind of Government that asks you to give up your freedom to make your own way, for a government that takes care of you from cradle to grave in a way that it feels is best for you and the "common good"!

SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

The leftist Media is headlining the fact that a Union has endorsed Obama! The issue is another of the disinformation that the main stream media has been feeding the ignorant portion of the public for the past 10,-12 years. The New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times along with numerous other Oracles of liberal positions have already anointed Obama as their Presidential candidate, so I guess this should be no surprise.

"The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE)announced its support for Obama. The union claims about 600,000 members who work in the federal and Washington, D.C., governments. There endorsement is no surprise to me, after all Obama is an advocate of bigger government control over our lives, and the most Liberal of all the Senators in the US Senate!

While they endorsed Obama they also left open the possibility of Hillary Clinton snatching the nomination with this tribute to Hillary: "While we have made the decision to endorse Senator Obama, we retain the utmost respect for Senator Clinton. Senator Hillary Clinton has been a stalwart champion of federal employees, and AFGE is grateful for her support on issues ranging from collective bargaining rights to privatization to the need for additional federal protective officers who provide security at federal buildings,” said Gage.(AFGE president)

Their endorsement: "Senator Obama has proven himself to be a friend of labor, displaying a firm understanding of the critical importance of both a healthy labor movement and a strong federal workforce,” said John Gage, AFGE national president". A Strong federal work force is nothing less than a march toward Socialism, and Obama's campaign promises are nothing less than a march toward socialism!

What Americas hard working taxpayers need is a smaller more efficient government, not the big government Obama will give us!

WILL THE WORLD TURN TO COMMUNISM BECAUSE OF THE ETHANOL ADVOCATES?

With farmers destroying wheat fields to plant corn or soy beans, to cash in on the subsidized price of grain products that can be used to make ethanol. The world is beginning to experience food riots and over fourteen countries are facing rapidly approaching famine.

Since the majority of Congress and the President have "bought in to" the idea that ethanol will help reduce our dependence on fosil fuels, despite the fact that it costs more to make than gasoline and gradually destroys fuel injectors in motor cars! The supply of corn, soy beans and rice has been drastically reduced for the making of food products.Check your food stores to see the results, higher prices. And this is just the begining!

In places like Haiti the poor are eating yellow cake "mud Biscuits". On the roof of a former prison, enterprising women prepare something that looks like biscuits and is even called by that name. The key ingredient, yellow clay, is trucked in from the nearby mountains. The clay is combined with salt and vegetable fat to make dough, which is then dried in the sun. The clay costs$5.00 to make 100 biscuits!
For many Haitians, the mud biscuits are their only food. They taste of fat, suck the moisture out of the mouth and leave behind an aftertaste of dirt. They often cause diarrhea, but they help to numb the pangs of hunger. "I'm hoping one day I'll have enough food to eat, so I can stop eating these," Marie Noël, who survives with her seven children on the dirt cakes.source :The Associated Press
The shortages triggered revolts in Haiti last week. A crowd of hungry citizens marched through Port-au-Prince, throwing stones and bottles and chanting, "We are hungry!" in front of the presidential palace. Tires were burned, and people died. It was yet another of the rebellions that are beginning to occur with increasing frequency worldwide, but which are still only a harbinger of what is yet to come. The USA closed our embasy during these riots!

Food is become increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is already unaffordable for many people. It is estimated that 850 million people have to go to bed hungry every night. How long will it be before these hungry people turn to the violence of revolution and the Communism that usually follows a revolution that is violent!

World Bank President Robert Zoellick warned that exploding food prices threaten to cause instability in at least 33 countries, including regional powers like Egypt, Indonesia and Pakistan, where the army has had to be brought in to protect flour transports. The crisis is helping radical Islamic movements gain strength in North Africa. There has been unrest in recent weeks in Mauritania, Mozambique, Senegal, the Ivory Coast and Cameroon, where the violence has already claimed about 100 lives. source : DerSpiegel

The food crisis has hit Manila in the Philippines where Communist insurgents have already been busy with their spread of revolution through violence. India has the largest number of underfed people, about 220 million!

China with over close to a quarter of the world's population to feed, but only 7 percent of its farmland. And a similar situation applies in India. This means that both countries must import food on a large scale, prompting many exporting countries to impose export quotas so that their own citizens are not suddenly forced to go without.

How long will the ethanol frenzy go on in the USA? Will it take riots by the poor and rationing to wake Americans to the fact that ethanol is not the answer to the fuel crisis here in the USA?

More drilling where we know the oil is and building more refineries will make some people mad, but is the only Christian thing to do. As Christ said, "feed My poor.! Not make ethanol out of food products and starve my poor!

A HOLLOW CALL FOR UNITY

In North Carolina, Hillary Clinton could muster only 8% of the black vote and about 40% of voters younger than 45. Early in the campaign, in neighboring South Carolina, she won 19% of the black vote. Her plunging standing among African-American voters has made it almost impossible for her to win the kinds of sizable victories she needs to close the delegate gap.

All over the South Obama has courted and won the Black vote as shown in these statistics from South Carolina."Blacks made up 55 percent of the voters in Saturday's contest, slightly more than turned out in the state's primary four years ago and by far their biggest share in any presidential contest so far this year. Obama won eight in 10 of their votes". source:MSNBC

With the media and print news promoting the idea that the election of an African-American would be a major " breakthrough"for the USA, and at the same time warning that if Hillary wrests the nomination from Obama in Denver, the streets will erupt in fire.

The Democrat campaign has become as racist as never before. Michelle Obama was sent forth to stir up parishioners in Black Churches. Obama cry of Change appeal to followers of Black Liberation Theology, and many young idealists, but what is the change we will get if the anointed Black, aka Lefist, candidate from Illinois wins.

Perhaps his words speak less than do his associates with whom he has cavorted and admired for the past 20 years.

"This primary season may not be over, but when it is, we will have to remember who we are as Democrats," Obama said. "This fall, we intend to march forward as one Democratic Party united by a common vision for our country." An appeal to Democrats to unite behind the man who used his race to court Black and liberal voters throughout the USA.

While he was saying the above, his wife was saying this to voters: "I don't want Barack to be anybody other than who he is. Because if America doesn't accept that, then I want America to own that. I want them to look themselves in the face and say "you had a choice. You had a choice to choose somebody who was decent, who was going to be a uniter. Somebody who's going to be honest, who is going to tell you the truth. All these things you say you want, and then you get it, and you trip. You freak out. And you question it, and you worry, and is it true"?

The truth about who Obama is, is the last thing on the Obamas minds. Their 20 year affiliation with the race-baiting, American hating Pastor Wright, and their close association with Wheatherman bomber turned college professor Bill Ayers, puts a lie to all they say about unity on the campaign trail! Obama is a socialist, who believes the government should tax and spend to provide all our needs from cradle to grave, make no mistake about that! And his associates and friends prove it.

Since Obama has not disavowed Ayers, it is appropriate to quote him from statements he made on his own web page. Episodic Notoriety-Fact and Fiction concludes with this: " Capitalism played it's historic role and is exhausted as a force for progress: built on eploitation, theft, force, conquest, war and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolution-a revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love cooperation and the common good- must win".

If what he is saying doesn't sound like the Communist manafesto, I will eat my favorite Packers hat!

In the states of North and South Carolina, and Pennsylvania statitics show that Obama received 90% of the Black vote, and I suspect it was the same in most states. No matter that he associated with indicted criminals, racist Pastor and weatherman bomber. He is one of them!

But willmiddle America vote for a man who speaks of a Change he will bring that may not be what is good for a Free America!

THE HEIGHT OF GHASTLY DESPERATION

The Korean War took place from June 25, 1950, to July 27, 1953, AND TECHNICALLY IT IS STILL ONGOING AFTER 53 YEARS!

The "cease fire" that has existed since the guns became silent and the killing stopped, could begin again at any time. Thus we have had troops in Korea for over 50 years, with no date certain that they will be withdrawn.

The President has said that the fight against Islamist terrorists could last for one hundred years. Presidential candidate, John McCain, has said it could be possible that the USA must keep troops in Iraq for 50 years to maintain the peace when it finally comes. And it will come if McCain is our next president.

Despite the historical fact of our Korean troop deployment, the Democratic National Committee has chosen to get down in the gutter with their effort to distract the voting public from the fact that the Democrats have two lying socialists running against each other for the Democrat nomination.

Their "street fight" has the potential of tearing the party apart, especially if Hillary Clinton should wrest the nomination from the media anointed Obama.

The dastardly video add that is now appearing on television is an example of the desperation and gutter mentality of those who run the present day Democrat party.

The video shows McCain and president Bush with their estimates that we could have troops in Iraq for from 50 to 100 years. Remember Korea while I develop this piece.

The add shows two soldiers in full battle dress beside a palm tree a few seconds before they disappear in a fire ball of an IED!

Then they show the vehicle, probably a Humvee, on fire with destruction all around it!

This add has used the death of two heroes ,who were killed in the blast ,as do the terrorists when they film a successful killing of soldiers, Iraqi enemies or captured civilians being decapitated. There are over 1800 Internet sites used to propagate terrorism success to the world.We don't want it to be part of political adds!

We don't need or want our fellow country men using graphic pictures of the death of brave soldiers, for political gain. This can only be viewed as dastardly, cowardly and desperate on the part of a political party that is on the verge of being torn apart.

I believe it is not only profane, horrendous and degrading of the families of those who have lost men and women in uniform during this war. I believe it shows the true colors of the leftist who have taken over the Democrat party. Anything this pack of hypocrites can dream up is fair game in their quest for power!

DOES MICHELLE BELONG IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

One of my favorite First Ladies had this to say to Americans: " You just don't luck into things as much as you'd like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it's friendships or opportunities".

The lady who aspires to accompany her husband into the White House said this about America and Americans at a political rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”

Since Mrs Obama was born in 1964 she has had the experience of witnessing the first manned landing on the moon in 1970, the appointment of Colin Powell then Condi Rice to the position of Secretary of State. The appointment of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. Thomas Sowell, Nelson Mandela, Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King's receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom,just to name a few Black people who received the prestigious award!

A lot has been written and said about the race bating and hate speeches that have come from the mouth of Obama's mentor for 20 years, but Michelle Obama's one public statement disqualifies her from being the First Lady in my opinion.

Both Wright and Obama, in their different ways, have for decades been promoting the far left vision of victimization and grievances-- Wright from his pulpit and Obama as a community organizer for the radical group ACORN, as a collaborator with former Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers, and as the member of the U.S. Senate with the farthest left voting record.

Do Americans really want to give these two, privileged and wealthy radicals, the opportunity to run a Country they both feel is so wrong that they need to Change it. Change we can surmise from their leftist leanings will be a lurch to the left if anything they say is to be believed. Barack Obama has promised change. And as indicated by the public support that his candidacy has received by accused terrorist fundraiser Hatem El-Hady, Obama's version of change that terrorists and their US supporters can believe in.

Make no mistake, if Obama wins, Michelle Obama like Hillary Clinton when Bill was President, will be active in forming Presidential policy.

WE HAVE BEGUN THE SLIPPERY SLOPE TOWARD DECADENCE

Since the time of the Presidency of John Adams, the second President of the new America, and the first vice- President under the administration of George Washington. We have evolved in the succeeding 232 years to the point where too many people believe character and belief in religious principles mean nothing.

In John Adams days he said: "The people have a right, an indisputable, inalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge -- I mean of the character and conduct of their rulers."

He believed that knowledge of moral principles and a veneration and respect for the religion of the people who profess and call themselves Christians was among the best recommendations for public service. source: Wikapedia

Fast forward to 2008 and you have two Democrats running for President who apparently don't hold to one of the fundamental principals of leadership. Be truthful, say what you mean and mean what you say.

Hillary Clinton has been exposed for lying about her experiences and dealings so many times that I will not bother to write about her.

But Obama is a different story. This man of "Change" is either the worst of liars or the epitome of a man without integrity, as the Obama/Wright drama has shown us. He said recently in a speech in North Carolina, that "the Reverend Wright issue is a distraction". Time magazine even had a columnist write that "character is a distraction"!

Obama either believes what his Pastor of twenty years, and spiritual mentor, has professed, and is lying when he says he never heard or believed what Rev. Wright said about God D##N America and the KKK of America. Or he is a man who shows lack of integrity by turning his back on the man who married him and his wife, baptised his children and was recipient of many Obama cash donations. By 'dumping his mentor of 20 years for political expediency, if he really believes what Wright professes. Obama has shown a lack of integrity necessary to sit in the Oval Office with the "Red Button".!

After eight years of scandals and lies of the Clinton Administration, I believe Americans have become accustomed to the fact that our leaders lie. This is furthered by the media's fixation for the past nine years of the alleged lies of President Bush.

WE have let our attention slide away from the character of our leaders to a position of " what can he/she do for me". The knowledge that our elected representatives are liars, but he/she is our liar and, "brings home the bacon"has become the prime motivator in elections it appears.

MY PRAYER ON NATIONAL PRAYER DAY

Despite the leftist politics and revisionist agenda, Religion has survived in the USA, because a majority of Americans believe there is an Almighty. The pilgrims did not cross the Atlantic Ocean in wooden boats to get away from religion. They came to America to be able to practice the religion of their choice. Not the Kings choice of religion.

The Mayflower sailed from Plymouth, England, September 16 with 101 passengers and a crew of 58. Several babies were born en route. The travelers' first glimpse of the New World was on November 19, near the tip of Cape Cod. The ship landed on the day after Christmas in 1620. The one hundred plus women, children and men were fleeing from persecution for practicing a religion other than the Kings religion!

Today we face a growing situation that seeks to erase all semblance of religion from all but our private lives. The lopsided interpretation of Freedom of Religion has been interpreted as Freedom from Religion by the secularist judiciary and too many elected politicians.If we follow that path, it will not be long before we are a pagan society.

It is well to remember that President Ronald Reagan declared May 1st as the National Day of Prayer on 6 May 1982.

President Reagan offered these words: “Today, prayer is still a powerful force in America, and our faith in God is a mighty source of strength. Our Pledge of Allegiance states that we are ‘one nation under God,’ and our currency bears the motto, ‘In God We Trust.’ The morality and values such faith implies are deeply embedded in our national character. Our country embraces those principles by design, and we abandon them at our peril. Yet in recent years, well-meaning Americans in the name of freedom have taken freedom away. For the sake of religious tolerance, they’ve forbidden religious practice in the classrooms. The law of this land has effectively removed prayer from our classrooms. How can we hope to retain our freedom through the generations if we fail to teach our young that our liberty springs from an abiding faith in our Creator?” source: The Patriot Post

It is my prayer that the nation that was founded by pilgrims seeking a place to freely practice their religion will return to belief in the Almighty, and the sanctity of life! Life is a precious gift from God, and it begins not when we are born, but at the moment of conception. It does not end until the end of our "natural" lives. This is the truth as understood by anyone who has seen a sonogram of a baby in the womb with a beating heart at one month of gestation!

My prayer is for peace among all nations and the fellowship of all men and women. Not the division we have today between the races and religions that believe they must convert or kill all who don't believe their faith.

I pray the peace activists, who claim that we are fighting in Iraq because of oil, will join me and others who know we can be independent of the Arabs and their oil. If only the Congress allows the drilling of ANWAR, off shore as the Chinese are now preparing to do, and the drilling in the oil shale rich Dakotas. Allowing the first oil refinery to be built since the 1960's would help also.

If we really want peace on this earth, I pray we allow the spirit of the Almighty to enter our lives, and turn away from the secular culture that includes hedonism, narcissism and self love with no concern for our neighbor.

I pray that feminists realize that their freedom of choice is not a freedom at all, but a license to kill an unborn person in what should be the safest place in the world. A woman's womb!

I pray that Americans wake up and realize that the decimation of food grains for more profit in the bio-fuel industry will, if not stopped, cause famine and death around the world.

I pray that men and women of the "cloth" will realize that the pulpit is a place to preach love for your neighbor, not hate for America and people of a different skin color.

I pray for the conversion of Communist China and Communist North Korea with the restoration of human rights.

I pray that those of the Muslim faith, who are "moderates", publicly condemn the violence caused by the terrorist element of their faith, so the rift between Muslims, Christians and Jews can be healed. And a trusting relationship begun.

I pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with Jihadistan. And I pray that a lasting peace can be established between the Iranians, Palestinians and Israel, before the world erupts in a nuclear holocaust!

Amen!

PEACE AT ALL COSTS?

At the same time that the Jerusalem Post announced that feminist Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb and 21 other feminist peace activists were embarking on a trip to Iran to"dialog" with the Iranians. The Bush administration was making the following dictum as reported today in the New Media Journal by Mark Silvaberg.

"The Bush administration has launched a new “outreach” policy reflecting it’s reluctance to discuss jihadism in public. This time, it has targeted language. We are no longer at war with “jihadism”. Rather, we are engaged in a war against “extremism”.

"In a document titled: "Words that Work and Words that Don't: A Guide for Counterterrorism Communication” released in March 2008, Federal agencies including the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Counter Terrorism Center will now be issued instructions on how not to describe "jihadists”, or the "mujahedeen", or to use any references relating to Islam, Islamic theology or Muslims in the context of our current war. Nor are these the only words to be struck from the government’s political lexicon. Words and phrases like “al Qaeda movement”, “Salafi”, “Wahhabist”, “Sufi”, “ummah” (the Muslim world), “Islamic terrorist”, “Islamist”, “holy warrior” and even “caliphate” are also to be removed from diplomatic discourse".

"The erroneous rationale given is that these terms promote support for “extremism” among Arab and Muslim audiences by providing religious credibility to “extremists” while offending moderate Muslims. The directive states that the term “jihad” tends to “glamorize terrorism, imbues terrorists with religious authority they do not have and damages relations with Muslims around the world". The memo says the advice is not binding and does not apply to official policy papers, but should be used as a guide for conversations with Muslims and media"

The government might as well tell us that the New Testament of the Bible should never be used in public, because it might offend the Jewish people.

The truth is what it is, and you can never gloss over evil by eliminating speaking about it. All you do then is discard the truth for the darkness of lies! It may be politically correct, but it doesn't change the fact that the evil described in the now banned words and phrases is real.

While we try to hide the threat from Jihdists. People like the "Rabbi" turned peace activist, Lynn Gottlieb is taking her band of radical feminists to Iran in response to Senator Clinton's statement last week that "if Iran attacks Israel we will obliterate Iran"!

This former Rabbi( since age 23 in 1973) now leader of a Southern California group called The Jewish Renewal Movement, and founder of the "Bat Kol" Jewish feminist theater troupe, and the co-founder of the Jewish Peace Walk, believes that their dialogue will help relieve the tension between Iranians and the USA.

I guess she forgot that the president of Iran has denied the existence of the Holocaust, and has vowed to obliterate Israel!

This radical feminist wrote a book titled, "She Who Dwells Within" in 1995 in which she makes her case that The Holy Ghost is a women!. She states that "RAUCH" is a female, and the third person of the Christian Trinity of God. And "HAVA" she sees as a woman!

This women refers to the Israeli State as the "brutal state", and calls the United States Justice System, "the criminal injustice system"!

Not exactly the kind of person the Jewish or Christian community would want to represent us, much less see her traveling to Iran on a State Department issued visa!

CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE THE END OF BUSING "Black children and yellow school buses long have been inextricably linked in the history of education in America. It started with the historic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision that allowed for school desegregation in cities like Milwaukee. That led to widespread busing movements that allowed black students to attend classes outside their neighborhoods at predominantly white schools.

A decision by the Milwaukee School Board last week to drastically reduce the amount of busing in the district will alter a fundamental relationship that has existed in this city for generations of students. But what the Milwaukee School Board did was not a statement about the racial makeup of the city's public schools, many of which are predominantly African-American. School Board member Michael Bonds, the architect of the plan, says busing isn't about desegregation anymore."When the district is 88% minority, it's not about race," Bonds told me. "It's about the fact we've spent $57 million on a failed policy."

MPS provides busing for 55,000 students a day at a cost of $57 million annually, according to reports. Bonds figures that kind of money could be better used in a school system that graduates less than half of its students. Specifically, he thinks the $20 million his proposal will save could be used to strengthen neighborhood schools, including re-opening several north side schools and providing art and music programs in those areas.For Bonds, it's a radical move, but one that demands MPS start to use its resources more wisely.

He has studied the issue and found MPS has closed schools in neighborhoods where choice and charter schools were flourishing".

The above quote is from the Milwaukee Journal and could well apply to any major city in the USA. With the cost of fuel going up every day and the Ecologists crying for reduction of the carbon emissions. There is no doubt that if Americans voted to end the use of Buses for all but rural areas we would save a very lot of fosil fuel in the form of diesel and gasoline.WE also would reduce the amount of N2O in the air. A bi-product of diesel fuel burning in the many thousand buses used in America.

The so called "soccer moms" would have to drive Seth and Janet to school instead of going to the spa, but then it is about time Moms and Dads took more responsibility for their children!

INCITING TO RIOT WAS A CRIME?

The death of any young man is a terrible thing, and justice is sometimes more blind than it is depicted to be. But, there is no reason for anyone, much less a man who professes to be a man of the cloth to publicly claim that "he will shut down the City".

Al Sharpton did that yesterday while inciting a crowd to of 250 Black Harlem residents to march against the verdict of a judge who accuited the 3 police officers who shot a Black man outside a strip club.Two of the three officers were Black!.

"We strategically know how to stop the city so people stand still and realize that you do not have the right to shoot down unarmed, innocent civilians," Sharpton told an overflow crowd of several hundred people at his National Action Network office in the historically black Manhattan neighborhood. "This city is going to deal with the blood of Sean Bell."The rally at Sharpton's office was followed by a 20-block march down Malcolm X Boulevard and then across 125th Street, Harlem's main business thoroughfare, where some bystanders yelled out "Kill the police!"

Sharpton urged people to return for a meeting this coming week "to plan the day that we will close this city down" with the kind of "massive civil disobedience" once led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.Sharpton exorted people to return for a meeting this coming week "to plan the day that we will close this city down" with the kind of "massive civil disobedience" once led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.His protests will demonstrate all over the city, from Wall Street to the home of Justice Arthur Cooperman, who on Friday acquitted the three detectives after a nonjury trial.

First of all. Sharpton is a racist, headline grabbing man, who in no way represents Martin Luther King! Reverend King accomplished thing by non-violent civil disobdience with his marches and speeches urging people to do what is right. Sharpton is inciting to riot by his inflamatory headline grabbing grendstanding!

This can only result in a confrontation with the law and possible violence that could include many injuries and even more deaths. Not to mention the propery damage that can result when people are sturred up to a frenzy state.Mayor Blomberg should nip this in the bud before New York has a riot on it's hands that will further antogonize both the police and the Black community. A divide that appears to be rather wide!

AND THE CUT OFF MARIE ANTOINETTE'S HEAD BECAUSE THEY HAD NO BREAD

On October 16th, 1793 Marie Antoinette was beheaded during the French revolution. The cause of the revolution was the opulent style of living that her husband the King, and she lived during a time when peasants had no bread to eat.

Of course there were political reasons also. Such as getting rid of the Monarchy and establishing a new form of government. But bread was the catalyst that ignited the flames of revolution.

Today Goreites and the Ecology zealots have convinced our Washington politicians that corn and wheat would be better used to produce bio-fuels than to make food and bread. As a result prices have already begun to climb ,and some Countries have begun to experience food shortages. The word famine is being used!

With this in mind there are a few facts that need to be addressed. China, India and other Third World Countries are exempt from the Kyoto protocols, and are producers of the most CO2 in the world. They also are putting more cars on the highway that use gasoline, and diesel trucks. So any reduction on our part will be taken up by these exempt Countries.

The following article from Breitbart.com illustrates the problem we may have if we don't convince the next President and the Houses of Congress that their very political lives depend on the drilling for oil here in ANWAR, off shore and in the Dakotas now!We can be oil independent!

"The price of oil is likely to hit 150 dollars (Canadian, US) a barrel by 2010 and soar to 225 dollars a barrel by 2012 as supply becomes increasingly tight, a Canadian bank said Thursday.
The CIBC report says the International Energy Agency's current oil production estimates overstate supply by about nine percent, since it wrongly counts natural gas liquids.

Analyst Jeff Rubin in his report noted accelerating depletion rates in many of the world's largest and most mature oil fields. He estimates oil production will hardly grow at all, with average daily production between now and 2012 rising by barely a million barrels per day.
"Whether we have already seen the peak in world oil production remains to be seen, but it is increasingly clear that the outlook for oil supply signals a period of unprecedented scarcity," said Rubin.
"Despite the recent record jump in crude oil, they will continue to rise steadily over the next five years, almost doubling from current levels."
The CIBC report also notes that while refinery capacity is at a virtual standstill, global demand continues to grow.
An expected drop in demand in the United States due to higher prices and a weak economy will be more than offset by demand growth in developing nations, it says.
Rubin cites, for example, the recent launch of Tata's 2,500-dollar car that will allow millions of households in India to soon own automobiles.
He also notes that car sales last year were up 60 percent in Russia, up 30 percent in Brazil and up 20 percent in China.
Transport fuel now accounts for half of the world's oil usage.
Although US oil consumption is likely to fall by over two million barrels a day over the next five years as pump prices rise, he says, more drivers on the road in Russia, China and India will surely pick up the slack in demand".

With this in mind, how long will the people listen to the clarion call of people like Al Gore and his sycophants, when food to feed our families become more expensive and scarce. You cannot make something out of nothing, and when 60% of our food crops go to bio-fuel production the result is obvious. Souring prices and areas of famine!

Wake up Americans before we experience retaliation from the famine starves peoples!

TIME SURE CHANGES ATTITUDES!

In 1987 Colorado Senator Gary Hart was running for the nomination of the Democratic Presidential candidate. His quest was derailed by a lie!

The Miami Herald revealed pictures of him and a "lady friend", not his wife, on the boat Monkey Business.

After Hart challenged the press to provide evidence of his infidelities, reporters for the Miami Herald, in a controversial move, staked out Hart's townhouse around the clock, and finally spotted the Senator with Miami model Donna Rice.

The ensuing report sent the media into frenzy, and within days photos of Hart and Rice on the opulent yacht were flooding international media, and consequently his shot at the presidency had sunk.

The denouement came after a Washington Post reporter asked Hart, "Have you ever committed adultery?" Hart refused to answer the question at the time, but the meaning of the query soon became clear. The Post had identified yet another woman with whom Hart had had a long-standing relationship. Faced with that potential disclosure as well as an overwhelming media maelstrom, Hart went home to Colorado, withdrawing from the presidential race in a bitter farewell speech on May 8.

Today we have two Democrats in a cat and dog fight for the nomination who have been either caught in numerous lies or are guilty of associations that are much worse for the nation than having a woman "on the side".

Hillary has many "whoppers", but two of the most recent are the one about her mother naming her after the climber Sir Edmund Hillary, only he made his climb and became famous five years after she was born. She claimed she was under fire in Bosnia when her plane landed. This probed to be a lie, and the best one is her claim that on 9/11/01 her daughter Chelsea was jogging near the Twin Towers when the planes hit! Only her daughter said she was in bed when it happened. It goes on, but you get the picture.

For his part Obama has uttered his share of lies and distortions.In a speech to a Selma, Alabama crowd meant to pump up his civil-rights movement authenticity and his Kennedy Camelot image, Barack Obama claimed that the Kennedy administration paid for his Kenyan father to travel to America on a student scholarship and therefore was responsible for his “very existence”. However, the first march on Selma took place on March 7, 1965. Obama would have been about three and half years old at that time. For some reason the media never did the math on this.

Obama’s Selma speech offers a very confused chronology of both the Kenya student program and the civil rights movement. Relating the story of how his parents met, Obama said: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Junior was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama.”
After bloggers pointed out that the Selma bridge protest occurred four years after Obama’s birth, a spokesman explained that the senator was referring to the civil rights movement in general, rather than any one event. source: NewsBusters
Then there is his defense of Reverend Wright. Not so much lies as a sort of slippery sleight-of-mouth. "Reverend Wright and other African-Americans of his generation … came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land."
Segregation was not "the law of the land" in the 1950s. It was the law in a minority of states. He continues: "For the men and women of Reverend Wright’s generation, the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away; nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years. That anger … occasionally … finds voice in the church on Sunday morning, in the pulpit and in the pews."
If, as Obama seems to be claiming, those are the sentiments only of Wright's generation, how come those whooping and clapping their approval in those sermon clips include lots of young people?
Then there is his statement about emergency rooms in hospitals. "This time we want to talk about how the lines in the Emergency Room are filled with whites and blacks and Hispanics who do not have health care …"
The lines in the Emergency Room at far too many U.S. hospitals are filled with illegal immigrants, preventing citizens from getting timely emergency help. What's your line on illegal immigration, Senator? Oh, right — you're fine with it, as is the rest of your party.

But the thing that makes Obama unqualified to be President is his association with terrorists like Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorn and his cousin in Kenya, Raila Odinga.

Guilt by association is not the way to disqualify a man or woman, but at least he should say I made a mistake and I renounce him/her for what they stand for. We hear nothing but excuses!

When he is attacked he resorts to the role of Victim as seen here.

“Obama said today that what you saw during the debate was the rollout for the Republican campaign against him in the fall. So it must have been painful for him to have it come out during a debate with a fellow Democrat.” —CBS’s Dean Reynolds

NEWS YOU WON'T FIND IN THE MSM

Lex et Libertas—Semper Vigilo, Fortis, Paratus, et Fidelis! Mark Alexander, Publisher, for the editors and staff. (Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with Jihadistan.)

From the "get go" Obama was against the war in Iraq, even after it was revealed what a murderer of his own people Saddam Hussein was.Hillary voted for the invasion, but has called for the withdrawal of our troops before they finish the job they went for.Only McCain has held all along that we were correct in invading Iraq, and we should remain there until the Iraqis can defend themselves, and maintain the peace.The cut and run people, who are too numerous for comfort, want us to have another Vietnam. It would make them very happy if the USA would withdraw with our collective "tails between our legs" and leave the Iraqis to fend for themselves. It is of no concern to them that a mass genocide would follow a premature withdrawal.Now an unlikely source has agreed with those of us who believe we should not leave with our job undone.

4,000 lives lost is a dreadful sacrifice, but in wars men/women do die! Compared with the over 6,000 teenagers that die on the highways each year, it doesn't seem quite as bad for 5 years of fighting.

Today from Russia the following was posted. version April 22, 2008, 19:05 Iraq not ready for troop pullout: Russian FMRussia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has ruled out Iraq taking immediate control of its own security, saying local law enforcement agencies are not yet prepared."There is a point one should keep in mind. This concerns the schedule of the withdrawal of foreign troops, which many Iraqi residents consider as - let's honestly acknowledge it - occupants," Lavrov said.“But an immediate withdrawal is out of the question of course. There are no conditions in place for that," he added. The statement came at a ministerial meeting between Iraq, its neighbours and permanent members of the U.N. Security Council held in Kuwait.Meanwhile, the U.S. is encouraging Iraq's neighbours to help by opening embassies, offering debt relief and backing its drive to disarm Shi'ite militia. France’s Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner says all EU member countries “must be opening or re-opening embassies in Iraq�� and helping its people.“One day the Americans will leave, so we have to prepare to be close to our friends,�� he said.

It looks like Kerry,Reid,Pelosi, Murtah, and their Presidential candidates,Obama and Hillary, have it wrong in the eyes of the Russians and French Foreign Ministers minds.Don't look to see if this article will be written in the Washington Post, New York Times or the Los Angeles Times. It is not the negative news they want desperately to print.

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

Time To Drill At Home!

When you fill up your car or SUV next time, the price for high test gas will be close to $4.00 a gallon.If you are unlucky enough to drive a diesel engine vehicle, the cost is already at $4.20 a gallon! Curse the Goreites and Ecology freaks not the oil companies!

Meanwhile the pin headed sycophants for the ecologists in the US Congress call for cars that must get a minimum of 31.6 miles a gallon of gasoline, and are producing an inevitable third world famine because of their legislation that mandated that 20% percent of the corn crop be dedicated to the making of bio-fuel. In 2007, biofuels consumed one third of America's corn (maize) harvest.

Filling up one large vehicle fuel tank one time with 100% ethanol uses enough corn to feed one person for a year.Thirty million tons of U.S. corn going to ethanol in 2007 greatly reduces the world's overall supply of grain.

The United Nations Food Agency said that rising food prices threatened to plunge 100 million people across the world into hunger.source:Wikapedia

Gas and oil prices has pushed further into record high territory, with retail gas reaching a national average of $3.51 for the first time and crude nearing $120 as the dollar fell to a new low against the euro.
Gas prices are nearly 66 cents higher than last year, when they peaked at a then-record of $3.23 in late May, and have prompted many analysts to raise their estimates of where gas is going to go.
Prices for diesel -- used to transport most food, industrial and commercial goods -- also rose overnight to a new record of $4.204 a gallon.
While gas prices are following oil futures higher, they're also rising because supplies are falling. Refiners are in the process of switching over from making winter grade gasoline to the more-expensive, less-polluting, form of the fuel they're required to sell in summer. The requirement is also the product of Ecology political pressure!And no new refineries have been built for over 40 years!

The cost of fuel is also influenced by the fact that Mexico,and Royal Dutch Oil have produced less crude oil than in previous quarters.source: John Wilen, AP writer

The Arabs refuse to increase production despite pleas from President Bush and Secretary of State Rice. They still expect sophisticated weapons and new jet fighters to be sent their way, however!

I have said it many times, but it needs to be said again. We are sitting on a plethora of crude oil. The rocky mountain area has oil shale that could produce crude oil in greater amounts to that which we now receive from the OPEC, and then there is ANWAR. An area rich with crude that cannot be removed because our Democrats and RINOs in Congress care more about a dumb animal called the Caribou, than they do about Mr. and Mrs. America! While the price of all foods products and the cost of gasoline rises each passing day. These privileged puppets of the new home of the Communist Party in America, thumb their noses at us and expect us to reward them by re-electing them in November!

We just conclude the coldest winter in over two decades, and still the "greens" are shouting Global Warming warnings.

Wake up America, before it costs $5.00 for a loaf of bread and third world nations that are starving, will cheer the Islamists when they drop a nuke on LA , Chicago or New York!
