HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

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.

THE ABOVE PRAYER IS APPROPRIATE ON THIS ANNIVERSARY OF OUR BELOVED COUNTRY'S INDEPENDENCE.

It is a day that most people will spend barbecuing, enjoying a day off from their jobs, but few will reflect upon those who gave their lives to establish a country that was independent of the "mother country", England.

In the United States, Independence Day (commonly known as the Fourth of July) is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.

An estimated 25,000 American Revolutionaries died during active military service. About 8,000 of these deaths were in battle; the other 17,000 deaths were from disease, including about 8,000 - 12,000 who died while prisoners of war, most in rotting prison ships in New York. The number of Revolutionaries seriously wounded or disabled by the war has been estimated from 8,500 to 25,000. The total American military loses were most probably in the area of 50,000!

The British surrendered at Yorktown in 1781, but it wasn't until the Treaty of Paris in 1783, that the Revolutionary war was officially over.
The Treaty of Paris, was signed on September 3, 1783, and approved by the Congress of the Confederation on January 14, 1784, formally ended the American Revolutionary War between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the United States of America, which had rebelled against British rule starting in 1775.

TODAY AS WE ALL ENJOY A DAY OF REST AND PLEASURE, LET US REMEMBER ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES SINCE 1776 TO KEEP OUR COUNTRY FREE! GOD BLESS THEM AND REWARD THEM FOR THEIR SACRIFICE!

SYCOPHANTS TRY TO SMOOTH THE WATERS

Rep. Robert Wexler of South Florida, sent an email to all the Jewish leaders assuring them that Obama is a strong supporter of Israel and they should support his election.
While he was doing this, Senator "I lost to the Swift Boats" Kerry, was in Israel meeting with key leaders of government to assure them that Obama is on their side.All this is in preparation for the announced visit by Obama to Israel sometime before the November election.

The root of the matter, as some observers of American Jewish politics see it, may be that Obama’s rhetoric and themes of reconciliation and common ground – the heart of his national popularity – sound off-key and even naive in the context of a grim, confrontational moment in the Middle East.

Obama’s substantively hard line on Israel has cost him friends among Chicago’s Palestinian activists. But his rhetoric has given the pro-Israel side pause. As Israel’s most vocal American allies see it, the divisions there aren’t about partisan name-calling: they’re about murder and the survival of a Jewish state. Faced with apparently implacable enemies like the Palestinian group Hamas and the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, backers of Israel see little room for reconciliation, and little reason for hope.


The following quote is from the Jerusalem Post. It explains the dilemma Obama has with convincing many Jews that he is on their side. Morton Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America had this to say:
“It was mystifying to me when [Obama] said that one of the reasons there isn’t peace in the Middle East is because of ‘cynicism.’ Cynicism? That’s the reason?” asked Morton Klein, the president of the Zionist Organization of America, a hard-liner who often gives voice to sentiments other Jewish leaders are more comfortable whispering “It makes me think that Barack Obama doesn’t understand the continuing Arab war against Israel.” Klein said he found the notion of an Obama presidency “frightening".
"Obama is regularly rated the “worst for Israel” of leading American presidential candidates by a panel assembled by the liberal Israeli newspaper Haaretz. But Klein’s remarks, an open letter to Obama from an Iowa Jewish leader concerned that Obama had spoken of Palestinian suffering, and a host of more quietly expressed concerns, produce a certain weary frustration in Obama’s Jewish backers, who include prominent supporters of Israel.

Obama's past suggestion that the Israeli and Palestinian sides are equally to blame –for the protracted fighting is a matter for pause for Jews whom Obama courts for votes. This provoked the following from the editor of The New York Post, E.J. Kessler.

"Obama fails to understand the totalitarian politics and sensibilities of the folks over there, who are not well meaning".
Kessler,the New York Post editor who’s a longtime observer of American-Jewish politics, continued, “His approach will appeal to a lot of lefty Jews, but it won’t appeal to the serious players,” she said, referring to the better-organized and better funded groups like the American Israel Public Affairs Council, AIPAC.

Meanwhile, never mentioned before by the MSM, Obama's half sister gave a campaign speech to Asian americans in San Francisco.
Soetoro-Ng and Obama have different fathers and the same mother. Her father is Indonesian, his is Kenyan. Her husband is Chinese-Canadian.
The throng of Asian-American donors drew closer, drinks in hand, to hear Barack Obama's sister describe the wide arc of his life: beyond politics and Chicago, into his childhood in Indonesia and Hawaii.

Why have we not heard about his sister? Soetoro-Ng explained:
"Discussion of those ties has taken a back seat to the Obama campaign's efforts to win the Hispanic vote and his ability to rouse young and black voters. In spite of the drawn-out primary season, many voters have heard little about Obama's years in Jakarta — he lived there between 1967 and 1971, while his mother was married to Soetoro-Ng's father, an Indonesian businessman — or about his years in Hawaii, where Asian-Americans are a majority". Source:My Politico.com
How much else is their in the closet that is the life history of BHO? And why has he not answered the question why his birth certificate from Hawaii has no seal or signature?

THE MAIN REASON I WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA!

Being a Navy veteran, and a life long Republican who strayed from the fold only once. I voted fro JFK! I am afraid more than I dislike the Democrat candidate for President. He is a charming, well spoke, affable man who presents a fine image.
I cannot hate him because he is the most liberal in the Senate according to his voting record. I cannot hate him for his long time association with America hating racist, Rev. Wright. I cannot hate him for his past association with Weatherman Ayers, who wished he had blown up more of America, but still holds a professorship at a Chicago University. I cannot hate him because he calls the Catholic "priest" Pfleger a friend, even though this man should have been "de-frocked" long ago for his anti-Catholic pronouncements!
No, I cannot hate him, because he was born in the image and likeness of the God who created him and all the rest of us. I am a Catholic, and I must love my fellow man if I wish to gain the prize of everlasting happiness in the presence of God!

But I do border on hating him for his position on partial birth abortions. He voted against The Induced Birth Infant Liability Act while serving in the Illinois legislature in 2002.
The Bill was to extend the same medical care to babies who happen to survive an abortion attempt as is enjoyed by all babies born alive.
Not satisfied to allow a baby who has miraculously survived an abortion, to live. He used the argument that allowing rights to this live aborted baby would violate the Constitution!

In fact, when a similar measure-- the Born Alive Infant Protection Act-- was brought before the U.S. Senate, not one Senator voted against it. Even NARAL Pro-Choice America didn't oppose the bill.


Call me old fashioned and narrow minded , but It's difficult for me to not hate someone who's eager to extend an array of constitutional rights to terrorists(Guantanamo Bay), but who refuses to provide the most fundamental rights to the most vulnerable living, breathing new born infant.

Perhaps it's my failure to comprehend Obama's exquisite intellectual subtlety. Obama challenged the constitutionality of the bill,contending that conferring equal protection, i.e.,personhood, upon a "pre-viable fetus" would render the bill an unlawful anti-abortion statute. There is nothing "pre-viable about a baby from conception to birth, even if it was tried to be killed by America's Genocide, abortion!

At what point after birth does Obama call a baby a person and not a fetus? One day? Six months?

I have a hard time generating feelings of love or even respect for someone who voted against helping newborns struggling to live.
I suspect most people don't know about Obama's position on babies who survive abortion attempts and it's unlikely that they'll ever find out. The media seem more interested in reporting on the cultural implications, or the racial animus of those who question Obama's policies, and those of his wife. If more people knew about Obama's disregard for babies who have the will to survive an abortion, there would be more scrutiny and less "honeyed words"!

Why Did Obam Remove E Pluribus Unum From His Blue Seal?

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 todays edition of Der Spiegel, an excerpt from an article written by Norbert F. Potzi, entitled "Life In a Parallel Society",may explain why Obama's Blue Presidential Seal had the phrase "E Pluribus Unum" removed.It is a statement establish by Congress in 1782 as part of the Presidential seal.
The phrase means "out of many, one".
In this statement it is implied that we all join together top make one country with the same laws and originally suggesting that out of many colonies or states emerge a single nation, it has come to suggest in contemporary times that out of many peoples, races, and ancestries has emerged a single people and nation – illustrating the concept of the melting pot.

But the Germans have found that the majority of the Muslim immigrants have not assimilated. Most have not learned the language, and Sharia law appears to be the rule of law in the "ghettos" where Muslims accumulate.

In this article the author makes the argument that Muslims can live side by side with Germans and still not assimilate into the German society.
There are an estimated 3.4 million Muslims living in Germany, making it the second largest religious group after Christians in Germany. A majority of them from Turkey,but many cam from Bosnia,Iran Iraq and Morocco. They were encouraged to emigrate to Germany to work in the industrial machine that made Germany an economic power house in the 70' and 80's.
As morally indignant young Muslims turn away from what they view as decadent German culture, some are cultivating feelings of superiority. While their immigrant parents and grandparents tried to assimilate, at least on the surface, some young Muslims deliberately flaunt the fact that they are different by wearing strict Islamic clothing in public.
The young, criminal Muslims whose acts of violence are so often in the news are rebelling against the majority society in their own way. They berate the victims of their brutal attacks as "s**t Germans" and "pig-eaters," even to the point of occasionally abusing a police officer of Turkish descent as a "s**t Christian."

The problem of assimilation is not helped by people like Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with his recent inflammatory rhetoric. "Speaking to a cheering crowd of close to 20,000 Turks, some of them already naturalized German citizens, at the Cologne Arena two weeks before the February conference, Erdogan warned his fellow Turks against going too far in their efforts to integrate. "No one can expect you to subject yourselves to assimilation," he said. "Because assimilation is a crime against humanity".

No one had asked the Turks to submit to assimilation, the total removal of cultural and religious identity. But the consequences of a refusal to be integrated into majority German society are all too apparent in the neighborhoods surrounding Sonnenallee in Neukölln"where crime has increased dramatically.

Thus when I first saw Obama posed behind a blue simulated Presidential seal I wondered about the choice of words that replaced the normal wording. Instead of the Latin "E pluribus unum" (Out of many, one), Obama's says "Vero possumus", rough Latin for "Yes, we can." Instead of "Seal of the President of the United States", Obama's Web site address is listed. And instead of a shield, Obama's eagle wears his "O" campaign logo with a rising sun representing hope ahead!
Not only is the wording questionable, the gaul of a man who has not even been formally nominated as his party candidate, standing behind a quasi-presidential seal!

No matter if you or I believe Obama is a Muslim "mole" or the anti-Christ, he does insult the rest of us who have assimilated, and become one of many. It appears to this seasoned citizen that by removing E Pluribus Unum, Obama has declared that living together as one is not necessary to keep this nation together.But then is that not what his pastor of twenty years declared from his pulpit?


The Europeans are experiencing first hand what lack of assimilation produces. Ghettos are developing where Sharia laws prevail, and crime rates and civil disobedience bordering on race riots are happening. All is not well in places like France, Germany and Holland!

DO WE WANT A PRESIDENT THAT BELIVES IT IS O.K. TO ABANDOM "E PLURIBUS UNUM"?

SAY GOODBYE TO THE BLUE EAGLE!

Thanks to J. R. Dunn who wrote an article in today's "AMERICAN THINKER", I have another point to make about the ineptitude of the Democratic selection to run for President.
Only a person who has no knowledge of recent history, at least the last 65 years is not considered ancient history, would know that the vain attempt to revitalize a failing economy by establishing the NRA was one of FDR'S blunders.
As you can see from the following excerpt of the article, Roosevelt's attempt to socialize business including closing the banks was an abject failure. It took the Japanese to salvage our economy when they bombed Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. This put in motion the machine that is derogatorily refereed to as the military industrial complex.
Many people believe that the Democrat President had prior knowledge of the planned Japanese attack, and let it happen so the USA could regain it's economy on a war time economic machine. It is unkind to say ill of the dead, so I will defer to Roosevelt, and say as did the critics of Bush , that he had bad intelligence.
The result was the greatest war time manufacturing machine in the history of the world. Tool and die makers, "Rosy the riviters" and automobile companies turned out enough planes, ships, tanks and guns to supply not only our troops, but the British, French and Russians. We won the war, but Roosevelt died, and never saw the results of his war machine.

Why Obama allowed himself to be photographed with the symbol of the NRA superimposed over a make-over of the presidential seal is beyond understanding!
It was completely overlooked (as far as I've seen, anyway) that a direct inspiration for the seal was the public symbol for one of Franklin D. Roosevelt's greatest policy disasters. An eagle, a blue background: Blue Eagle. Which happens to have been the emblem of the National Recovery Administration (NRA). FDR's attempt to beat the Depression by collectivizing(aka socializing) the U.S. economy.


"The NRA was the centerpiece of the "Hundred Days", FDR's whirlwind law-passing spree following his inauguration. It was the work of "brain trusters" Rexford G. Tugwell and Adolf Berle, adapted directly from Mussolini's "corporative" system.


The NRA attempted to "organize" the U.S. economy from the largest corporations to the smallest Mom n' Pop store. Businesses were encouraged to sign up with the proviso that they would be able to write their own rules for their industries, effectively turning them into cartels. Member businesses were allowed to place the Blue Eagle in their windows, along with the slogan "We Do Our Part".


Businesses were required to pay minimum wage, abandon child labor, and adapt wage and price controls. As for businesses that held out... well, the NRA was run by an ex-general, Hugh Johnson, who, to put it kindly, was not Colin Powell. Johnson took the Mussolini connection to heart, declaring all businesses not displaying the Blue Eagle to be "enemies of the people", and encouraging the public to boycott them, if not worse.


But it was even more dangerous for companies that signed up. Businessmen were jailed for breaking NRA rules, and goon squads roamed the streets of Manhattan looking for violators The story is told in detail in Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascim. The Secret History of the American Left and Amity Shlae's The Forgotten Man. A New History of the Great Depression.

How this nonsense was supposed to end the Depression is anybody's guess. In short order, it ran afoul of the Supreme Court, which on May 27, 1935, found the NRA illegal in Schechter Poultry Corporation v. United States, the so-called "sick chicken" case. The Court struck down the NRA as an unconstitutional extension of executive power. Roosevelt was forced to drastically modify his plans for the economy".

This "empty suit" who speaks well only when he has a teleprompter, will be exposed for his lack of knowledge about anything other than left wing thinking, when the debates begin. He has tripped over his own tongue numerous times up to this point. If the people who run the televised debates are honest about their questions, don't let him know before what they are, he will be exposed for the ameatuer that he is. He is trying to play a professional game with no prior experience in the field of battle, and I would hate to think of what he would do when the"red phone rings in the night", and it will!

GIVING AWAY MORE OF OUR COUNTRY'S SOVEREIGNTY!

The World Bank is one of the two Bretton Woods Institutions which were created BY 44Free Nations in July,1944, to rebuild war-torn Europe after World War II. Later, largely due to the contributions of the U.S.A. Marshall Plan, the World Bank was forced to find a new area in which to focus its efforts.(BLOGGERS NOTE: PERHAPS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISBANDED, AS IT'S JOB WAS DONE, BUT LIKE ALL BUREAUCRACIES IT CREATES "MAKE WORK" TO EXTEND IT'S EXISTENCE!)

Now the body of bureaucrats that numbers over 138 nations, originally formed to accommodate the Marshall Plan, has decided to investigate the Country that was the founder of the organization. The IMF is going to examine the books of the U.S. Treasury.
The strange thing is that President Bush, who normally does not let United Nations Organisations dictate to him, has agreed to this outrageous interference in our sovereignty!
Officials with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have informed Secretary Bernanke about a plan that would have been unheard of in the past, a general examination of the US financial system.

The IMF's board of directors has ruled that a so-called Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) is to be carried out in the United States. It is nothing less than an X-ray of the entire US financial system.


From 1968-1981, the IMF focused largely on poverty alleviation. Begining in the '80's and into the 1990s, its main focus was both debt management and structural adjustment. Another word for redistribution of wealth!

Today the focus, which is little known outside of the "elites", is on the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), goals calling for the elimination of poverty and the implementation of sustainable development.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were developed out of the eight chapters of the United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in September 2000. The eight goals and 21 targets include:
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than one dollar a day.

2. Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people.

3. Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger.

4. Achieve universal primary education Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling.

5. Promote gender equality and empower women Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015.

6. Reduce child mortality Reduce by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate.

7. Improve maternal health Reduce by three quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio.

8. Achieve, by 2015, universal access to reproductive health( aka contraception and abortion!).

9. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS.

10. Achieve, by 2010, universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS for all those who need it. Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases.

11. Ensure environmental sustainability and develop a global partnership for development.
These include removing tariffs and quotas for debt ridden third world countries, and by 2020 to significantly improve the lives of at least 100 million "slum dwellers"!

The majority of the stated goals are "mother's milk" that nobody can fault. But goals,5, 8 and 11 are contrary to a large portion of the population of the USA, and may be in conflict with the majority of Christians. Particularly the mandate to provide contraception and abortion to the world.
Number 11 can be interpreted as being in accord with the Kyoto protocols, and so far we have not agreed to hamstring our economy with the protocols.

Complaints, by Conservatives and Constitutionalists, are also directed toward the International Monetary Fund gold reserve being undervalued. At its inception in 1945,the IMF pegged gold at US $35 per Troy ounce of gold. In 1973 the Nixon administration lifted the fixed asset value of gold in favor of a world market price. Hence the fixed exchange rates of currencies tied to gold were switched to a floating rate, also based on market price and exchange. This largely came about because Petrodollars outside the United States were more than could be backed by the gold at Fort Knox under the fixed exchange rate system. The fixed rate system only served to limit the amount of assistance the organization could use to help debt-ridden countries. Current IMF rules prohibit members from linking the IMF success record is perceived as limited.[citation needed]

While it was created to help stabilize the global economy, since 1980 critics claim over 100 countries (or reputedly most of the Fund's membership) have experienced a banking collapse that they claim have reduced GDP by four percent or more, far more than at any time in Post-Depression history.The considerable delay in the IMF response to any crisis, and the fact that it tends to only respond to them or even create them rather than prevent them, has led many economists to argue for reform. In 2006, an IMF reform agenda called the Medium Term Strategy was widely endorsed by the institution's member countries. The agenda includes changes in IMF governance to enhance the role of developing countries in the institution's decision-making process. Source:Wikapedia

The "cart pulling the horse" arrangement, or the branches dictating to the tree what way to grow!

WHAT ARE OBAMAS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS?

The media has made a big issue of the fact that Obama is a Christian,even though some Conservatives like myself are wondering if he is a closet Muslim?
Between Christian and Muslim there ia a wide open space for many other religious beliefs that are not indigenous to Americans.
One of these religions has claimed Obama as a believer, as this article from The Times of India shows.

NEW DELHI: "With Democrat senator Barrack Obama busy in the run-up to the U.S. presidential polls, a group of well-wishers in the capital have decided to send him a symbol of his lucky charm, Lord Hanuman, to help him emerge victorious.

Obama's representative Carolyn Sauvage-Mar on Tuesday received a gold-plated two-feet-high idol which she will pass it on to the Obama after it is sanctified.

The idol is being presented to Obama as he is reported to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god along with other good luck charms. An hour-long prayer meeting to sanctify the idol was earlier organised at Sankat Mochan Dham and by Congress leader Brijmohan Bhama, Balmiki Samaj and the temple's priests.

"Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman and that is why we are presenting an idol of Hanuman to him," said Bhama.

Accepting the souvenir, Sauvage-Mar, who is chairperson of Democrats Abroad-India, said, "Obama has extended his thanks for the support."

However, questions on Obama's religious beliefs elicited just a smile from Sauvage-Mar, apparently to avoid controversy back home where the Democrat senator is pitted against the Republican Party's John McCain in the Presidential polls.

The idol will be kept at the temple for 11 more days and then sent to US.

"We will perform the prayers for 11 days and then hand the idol to Carolyn who will send it to Obama," said the temple priest.

This article only adds more confusion to those who are trying to decipher the enigma of Obama. What does he really believe, if anything, or is he trying to be all things to all people to capture the prise he seeks?

BRILLIANT POLITICAL MOVE OR JUST MORE "SLIME POLITICS

Last Friday Barrack Obama laid down the gauntlet to all who oppose him, that labels anyone who even mentions his lack of ability to be our president,will be a racist! He also indicated his wife Michelle was the target of character assassins.
To be perfectly clear about what he said about those who oppose him. I will enclose a quote from his speech given in Jacksonville, Florida last Friday as reported by Rich Moran of the American Thinker,

"Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.
."It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy," Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. "We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid.
"They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"
He said he was also set for Republicans to say "he's got a feisty wife," in trying to attack his wife Michelle".. See how many Obama advocates simply dismiss any opposition to their candidate as "racism." It is this simple minded sophistry that the candidate will use in order to quiet opposition to his programs if he is elected.

It has been asked "Is America ready for a black president?" Maybe a more relevant question would be "Can America see through a racial charlatan who will shamlessly use the color of his skin to avoid debating the tough issues and call his opponents "racists" for disagreeing with him?"


This speech is an example of the tactics we can expect from the Main Stream Media and the leftist who are running the propaganda campaign of Obama's campaign.
The MSM called Obama's low blows in Jacksonville, "a brilliant political move"! This is the kind of coverage you can expect from Newspapers(if anyone reads them anymore) Television and the leftist controlled Internet. The anointed Messiah of the neo-commies of the media have staked their power and money on the head of this empty suit named Barry,aka Barrack, Obama.

For the next five months we can expect a rash of negative pieces of "news" about the deteriorating economy, the failures in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the foibles of that "old Man" McCain.The fact that the conomy is churning out the largest output in the world, more than germany, Japan and Great Britain combined, will never be mentioned. Nor will the fact that al Qaeda is being destroyedin Iraq! These facts do not serve the pyrpose of a media dedicated to making the public desire a "CHANGE"!

Nothing will be written or said about the fact that their "savior" is ignoring the genocide in Africa,or about the rants of the American hating co-horts of this born again populist.Democrats and Obama in particular will be portrayed as angels of the truth and republicans as character assassins who are racists!
The truth of this matter is that some of the people associated with Obama for over twenty years are the apex of racists, Reverend Wright,James P. Meeks, Frank Marshall Davis, Fr. Michael Pfleger and Acorn for a start!

It is nota Black man we Conservatives appose it is a mixed race leftist and his anti-American, race baiting friends and cohorts that we oppose!
If it's relevant that some Republicans have belonged to the Federalist Society -- or even done as little as show up for the debates they host -- how can it not be relevant that Barack Obama's political education, paternal, "spiritual," and now academic as well, is all straight out of Karl Marx?

JUST WHAT KIND OF CHANGE WILL OBAMA PRODUCE!

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.I have lived through the administrations of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, and all were strong presidents who supported a strong military, and their primary interest was the working man.
With the advent of Clinton, the Democrat party began a swing to the hard left. Abortion rights, gay and lesbian issues, Ecology zealots and anti-religious groups appear to have taken over the party of the "people".

Now comes the most liberal Senator, based upon his voting record,with a motto that has captured the minds of many young people and the usual assortment of recycled radicals from the 60's and 70's as his followers. Of course he has leftist mega-millionaires like George Soros and Warren Buffet endorsing his bid for the presidency. I understand Soros, a life time dedicated liberal, but Buffett is an enigma to me.
Never the less, this man with no executive experience has captured the imagination of the disgruntled masses, with his promise of CHANGE.
What the change will actually be is the big question? If you judge a man/woman by their past associations and affiliations, you would have to say the change Obama promises is a change to the socialist form of government. There also is the possibility that he is a closet Muslim, and co-existence with Sharia law may be in his plans for the USA?

It is for this reason that I am violating my normal blogging rules, and will publish a direct quote from the Investors Business Daily. I believe this piece points out the possibility that Americans may be "buying a Pig in a polk" as my grandmother used to say!

"Obama's Red Roots By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Tuesday, June 17, 2008
Election '08: The word is that Barack Obama is a mainstream politician who sometimes attracts fringe leftists. The record tells a different story — that he has sought out radicals. What does that say of his agenda?

It is natural to be skeptical of excessive claims about Obama's radical associations. After all, there are so many. But one bears attention — because it helped him get his start in politics. In 1996, he won an Illinois state senate seat on a "fusion" ticket of the Democratic Party and leftist group called the "New Party."


The New Party, founded in 1992 with 7,000 members at its peak, had been an explicitly anti-capitalist party of ex-Communists, socialists and activists from ACORN, the hard-left group that's constantly in trouble over voter fraud. The New Party didn't ask for Obama's association; he asked for the New Party's endorsement.
Blogger Rick Moran of the American Thinker has found disturbing particulars.

First, the New Party didn't give its support and campaign volunteers to just anyone. Obama actually had to audition for it. According to a September-October 1995 update on the New Party-aligned Chicago Democratic Socialists of America Web site:
"About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to . . . to hear appeals for NP support from four potential political candidates."


Anyone wanting a New Party endorsement had to "be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP," the Web site said.


So Obama signed on with this group and now remains in its debt.
That raises questions about what was in the New Party platform that drew in Obama. Maybe its own statements saying it was formed "to break the stranglehold that corporate money and corporate media have over the political process."
Sound familiar? One of the few things Obama reveals in his vague "change" agenda are plans to punish corporations. He rails against "corporate profits" and even worked in a condemnation of them in his first defense of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. So there's little doubt he shares a lot of what the New Party believes.


The New Party also has advocated a bill of rights for children, a shorter work week, a universal "social" wage and military spending cuts. These will undermine parental rights, lower competitiveness, lard up welfare and make the U.S. less secure. All are echoed in Obama's proposals. They are the hardest battle cries of the left.
Obama should come clean on why he sought these radicals' support and, better still, disclose just how he intends to pay them back".

What say you mr./mrs. voter?

NASA SCIENTIST WANTS TO SUE OIL COMPANIES

a
A man who spent his entire educational experience from his B.A. to Phd on the study of Physics, with a Masters in Astronomy, wants to have Congress bring charges against the oil industry similar to what was done to the cigarette industry!
He should have a law degree, because of the doors he is trying to open to class action suits for trial lawyers.
How this metamorphosis, from physicist to climate guru and expert took place, I am not sure. But the fact that he knew enough physics to be an asset to the Space Program, does not make him the expert on climatology that he and the leftists in that follow him want you to believe.

"Many of the temperature monitoring stations in China, Indonesia, Brazil and elsewhere are in urban areas (such as Shanghai or Beijing)," observes Canadian Steven McIntyre. This will/can produce hotter temperatures, yet some of the major trackers of the data from these countries, including the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration, make no attempt to adjust for monitor placement errors. In any event, for some reason "the U.S. history has a rather minimal (warming) trend if any since the 1930s," while the ROW [rest of the world] has a very pronounced trend since the 1930s".

His own words indicate that he has always had an interest in global weather patterns, but this does not make him an expert!
He had this to say at an early stage of his career: "One of my research interests is radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres, especially interpreting remote sounding of the earth's atmosphere and surface from satellites. Such data, appropriately analyzed, may provide one of our most effective ways to monitor and study global change on the earth. The hardest part is trying to influence the nature of the measurements obtained, so that the key information can be obtained.

"I am also interested in the development and application of global numerical models for the purpose of understanding current climate trends and projecting humans' potential impacts on climate. The scientific excitement in comparing theory with data, and developing some understanding of global changes that are occurring, is what makes all the other stuff worth it".

So with this in mind, he will sit before a Congressional committee, and say this today: "I call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer". This fool equates global warming with genocide!And to add insult to our intelligence, he said in June,2007, that a global warming tipping point is just a decade away". Scare tactics replacing facts, perhaps!
If you follow the global warming debate, one thing you "know" is that to even call it a "debate" is to whisk yourself away to the land of the Flat Earth Society and Holocaust deniers and to be on the take from Big Carbon. Another is that nine of the ten warmest years recorded in the U.S. lower 48 since 1880 have occurred since 1995, with the very hottest being 1998.The real 15 hottest years are spread over seven decades. Eight occurred before the chief "greenhouse gas," atmospheric carbon dioxide, began its sharp rise; seven occurred afterwards.

The facts do not back up his assertions. The hottest year since 1884 was the year 1934, long before green house gasses were known much less studied! source: Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
Ultimately the greatest importance of all of this is that it strongly appears to substantiate the intuitive belief that, with scientist-politician Hansen at the helm the GISS, whose data are far more important to modeling global temperatures than it lets on, is not a neutral collector and disseminator of statistics but rather a politicized mouthpiece.


Before Congress or any trial lawyer tries to sue the oil industry for global warming, they had better read the material published by Canadian Steven McIntire's.
"Many of the temperature monitoring stations in China, Indonesia, Brazil and elsewhere are in urban areas (such as Shanghai or Beijing)," observes McIntyre. This can produce hotter temperatures, yet some of the major trackers of the data from these countries, including the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration, make no attempt to adjust for monitor placement errors. In any event, for some reason "the U.S. history has a rather minimal (warming) trend if any since the 1930s," while the ROW [rest of the world] has a very pronounced trend since the 1930s".
If Hansen wants to sue anyone he might try suing Communist China, Or India the worst polluters of the atmosphere, who just happen to be exempt from Kyoto Protocols.

MICHAEL HIRSH IS AT IT AGAIN!

Obama lover, Michael Hirsh the former Foreign Editor and chief diplomatic correspondent for Newsweek,and is currently a senior editor in the magazine's Washington bureau.
He is an Obama supporter and prevaricator extraordinaire.
Now, Michael Hirsh has written a column for the Leftist Newsweek magazine that alleges that Obama is 15 percentage points ahead of McCain.
Of course, at the end of his article, he lets you in on his bias. This poll was of 1,010 eligible voters, taken over a two day period from June 18th-19th! This is less than a .05% sample of the hundreds of millions of potential voters. And God only knows if the surveyor, Larry Hugick, bothered to include any voters outside the Northeast.

This is the New York elitist who compares Global Warming to 9/11/011 in a Newsweek article published 2/21/08, entitled "Memo To The President"---OBAMA!!!!
"A small group of ragged America-haters, who had one lucky day of mass murder nearly seven years ago, will continue to define the foreign policy of the lone superpower for years, possibly decades to come. There's something wrong with this picture. Yes, we can all agree that 9/11 was one of the worst moments in American history. And we can certainly agree that Al Qaeda must be completely eliminated. But the group has never come close to duplicating 9/11; even the train bombings in London and Madrid that were attributed to Al Qaeda-inspired cells were minor by comparison. Are Al Qaeda and its ilk still really our number one challenge? What about global warming? What about the emergence of China", ad nausea


He then had the chutzpah to say this: "But it is absurd to assign the term "transcendent challenge" to such a band of murderous anarchists, who have about as much hope of achieving their grand dream of turning the Mideast into an Islamist caliphate as scientists have of proving one day that the moon is made of green cheese. Terror cells may be spreading, but their ideology, such as it is, keeps dying every time it is exposed to the open air. Even in the tribal regions of Pakistan, safe haven to the newly regrouped Taliban and Al Qaeda, voters last week turned out radical religious parties because of their ineffectiveness"
Al Qaeda and related terror groups are hardly the "band of anarchists" he calls them. They are religious zealots as was their patron Muhammad, who are dedicated to convert the world to Islam or destroy it and rebuild it in the new Caliphate. No amount of liberal double talk will change this fact!

His choice for president, Barrack Obama, seems to be so leery of being identified as an urban Northern liberal(like Hirsh) that he's running away from the most obvious explanation of his association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and former Weatherman Bill Ayers.
After Obama graduated from Harvard he became an inner-city organizer in Chicago, and he found natural allies for someone in a situation like him.This association is one of the problems that cause concern for many people like me and many people all over the country. You would think that liberals could find better allies than that, and should be faulted when they do indeed make such alliances? But people like Hirsh and the North Eastern liberal establishment, appear to be in accord with these radical beliefs.

It is only natural for a "globalist liberal like Hirsh to back a man who if elected will weaken the USA as a world power that will lead us to becoming part of One World Government. If you doubt this listen to Mr. Hirsh's words written in "At War With Ourselves". "Americans, reaching a national consensus that the global system is in our vital national interest is the main imperative of the 21st century. Uncomfortable though it may be, we must get over the idea that our unprecedented power is a panacea.
We Americans can oversee global stability from the skies — apart, removed and nearly omnipotent.
For us Americans, the norms and institutions of the global system are now as critical to securing our freedom as our own domestic laws and institutions.
But as individuals, we need everyone’s help on the ground, where we are as fragile and vulnerable as other people — indeed, more so, since we are Americans".
The simple translation, in my opinion, of this liberal rhetoric is that we must not try to stand alone as a the powerful nation we are now, but must join the socialist nations in the European Union and let the UN tell us how to live! No wonder this pseudo-intellect is a strong backer of the most liberal Senator in the Senate!

This heretic of American principles said, "The “free world” is no longer just the West: Today it spans the globe. That does not mean the U.S. leader has to become President Pothole, intervening in every civil war or regional dispute.
But it does mean that, in practical terms, the President must talk forthrightly about the international system that benefits all. He must systematically support its institutions even if he doesn’t always agree with them. And he must dwell somewhat less on what is purely good for “America.”
The debate we face today is no longer over American engagement versus American withdrawal. Isolationism is long dead.
The issue is whether what was once heresy will become orthodoxy to Americans in the 21st century: The idea that the norms and institutions of this global system are now as critical to securing our freedom as our own domestic laws and institutions".

And this hard core internationalist has the guts to call the election a run away for Obama before he has even been officially nominated by the Democrats. Many people forget that McGovern was declared the presumptive winner before he lost all states in the worst defeat in a presidential election in history!
Don't be swayed by the full court press the media has planned for this campaign to get the most liberal candidate in history elected.

DOES DOBBS HAVE ULTERIOR MOTIVES?

“You know, I have heard a lot of reasons over the years as to why George W. Bush should be impeached,” Dobbs said. “For them to leave the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in this state, its leadership in this sorry condition and to have no capacity apparently or will to protect the American consumer – that is alone to me sufficient reason to impeach a president who has made this agency possible and has ripped its guts out in its ability to protect the American consumer.”
Thus, the one time dispassionate reporter of the financial news on CNN, has turned to "bare knuckle" opinions on the Bush Administration. He could be an Obama backer for all of his Bush bashing!

"It’s insane what’s going on here,” said a visibly angry Dobbs on his TV show, Lou Dobbs Tonight. “Is there any sense of embarrassment on the part of the leadership of that agency?”

On June 18, Dobbs called the FDA “excessively intellectually challenged.” The night before he called the FDA “moronic.”
“The FDA, led by complete moronic, unengaged incompetents,” Dobbs said on his June 17broadcast. “The idea that they would sit there and say that they’re not going to reveal where a cluster of this outbreak occurred, this is arrogant beyond belief. Who in the world do these idiots think they are? Who do they think they’re working for?”
This type of ranting sounds strangely similar to that off Ross Perot or Dennis Kucinich. Apparently, Dobbs is full of himself enough to be rumored to make a run at National office in 2008. Maybe he will try to be another spoiler by running as a populist candidate for president. A small town boy(Rupert Idaho) who made it big in New York come back to help the middle class?


Well, perhaps Dobbs should do his homework before he mouths off! The man responsible for the safety of the foods we eat is a London infectious disease MD, who became a U.S. citizen and was hired, by The FDA, during the Clinton Administration.
Dr. David Acheson, is Chief of Food Safety for the FDA , having assumed that position in 2002 when it was a newly created position in the FDA. He is somewhat of an expert on the bacteria e-Coli, and it is his responsibility to inform the public of any outbreaks of Salmonella or e-coli in food products.
As such he is considered the number two man at the FDA.


His comments on our food supply are pertinent to Dobb's indictment of President Bush.
"Our food supply is really incredibly safe," Acheson emphasized. "We all eat food three or four times a day or more, and we don't get sick but rarely. Billions of servings of all kinds of food get consumed without any problem."

Yet new challenges are looming, he acknowledges, including today's very efficient distribution systems of foods from foreign countries like Mexico..

Despite the fact that Dr. Acheson is in charge of food safety, it appears from reading the transcript of Dobbs program, that he is really after the head man, Dr. Andrews von Eschenbach, a close friend of President bush who assumed the position as head of the FDA in the middle of a verbal "fire storm" with the Democrat controlled Congress over the contraceptive"Plan_B'. The Democrats wanted it to be sold over the counter, FDA insisted it be a prescription drug, as it should . They were also angered by an FDA report that alleged marijuana had no medicinal properties.
So this $5 million dollar a year man is just carrying waater for the Deamoncrrats in my opinion!

DRILL NOW OR CHINA WILL!

It is time for all Americans to say no thanks to the Arabs. For decades the USA has relied on tankers to transport thousands of gallon of crude oil, and sometimes even refined gasoline from places like Iran and Saudi Arabia. The huge tankers are bigger than battleships, and they dock in major port cities to offload their cargoes. There has not been a major oil spill since 1969, when the Valdez ran aground because the skipper was allegedly intoxicated and asleep!

Geologists that specialize in estimates of potential oil resources, have stated that we have almost three times the amount of untapped oil in the offshore fields below the Gulf Of Mexico. Ecologists claim that drilling will damage sea life, and the hurricanes will break down the oil rigs causing catastrophic oil spills.

If hurricane Katrina only damaged some pipe line leading to the refineries in Louisiana, and did not cause any significant damage to the oil rigs themselves. This become a specious argument!
The claim that drilling for oil will damage our beaches, I live in Florida, is ridiculous. Try to find a beach that is not concreted over with condominiums. There is less and less available public beach available, and the deadly red tide that occurs periodically in the gulf causes the death of hundreds of sea animals and fish.
Forget about the ecology arguments. They would be happy if we had to all ride bicycles!

Our Governor, Charles Crist, has called for a repeal of the moratorium against off shore drilling, and he is supported by 75% of those who live here!
The issue is mute anyway, as Communist China is NOW exploring off the shores of the Gulf states to locate oil. When they do, they will start extracting oil for their oil hungry growing economy. While we listen to fools like Senator Reid who had this to say about this issue.
"We cannot drill our way out of this problem," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat. "The math is simple: America has just 3 percent of the world's oil reserves, but Americans use a quarter of its oil. And the Energy Information Administration says that even if we do open the coasts to oil drilling, prices wouldn't drop until 2030." And to think that this idiot heads the Senate is mind boggling! His figures and statistics are either lies or stupidity!

Experts say that if we drill now we could be independent of the Arabs and Venezuela in two years. Not because we will have the oil to fuel our economy, but because once the Arbitragers and mega-wealthy speculators learn that we are drilling their interest will wane and they will move on to another commodity. The price will drop rapidly, and in five to ten years we could be like Russia is now. An oil GIANT!

We should also start drilling in ANWAR immediately. When we began the Alaskan pipe line the ecology commies cried we would destroy wildlife, but in the decades since the pipeline became operational that fear has not materialise either!

WE are talking about opening 2,000 acres of 20 million acres in the North Tundra. This is less than .01% of the total land mass available to Caribou and polar bears. This area could provide 10 billion barrels of crude oil!

Leftists like the anointed Barrack Obama, insult the American public intelligence by saying, that drilling would be "A solution based on old ideas". I am here to tell you that there are many old ideas that hold this Republic together. Just a few are: Traditional Americanisms like patriotism, a stong military, the idea that Free Enterprise trumps Darwin Socialism, and Independence is much better than Dependence on some one else!

A KAMIKAZE SUPREME COURT

During World War II, the leaders of the Japanese military and those surrounding the Emperor were followers of the Shinto cult. Japan also had Buddhists, Confucius followers and few other sects, but the Shinto's ruled.
Shinto's asserted Japan's superiority over all other nations. It maintained that the Japanese rulers, and the Japanese in general, were descended from the Sun Goddess. Emperor Hirohito (before his spectacular postwar rehabilitation at the hands of the General MacArthur and the U.S. Occupation) was reviled in wartime America.

The willingness of the Japanese soldiers, particularly the kamikaze (the " Devine wind of the gods" suicide pilots)to sacrifice themselves for the emperor was devastating. This fervor killed many thousand American troops, and disgusted and terrified Americans.

Fast forward 63 years, and we have another kind of religious warrior. The Muslim terrorist bomber, who straps on explosives and walks into a crowded public place and blows himself and everything and every body around him/her to eternity!
This new version of a Kamikaze does not fly an airplane loaded only with enough gas to get him to his target, and the rest of the plane filled with explosives. He/she is the instrument of destruction! In both the Japanese and Muslim situations it is a warped religious fervor that allows them to perform their heinous acts.


Today we here in the USA, have a very un-supreme court that is playing the role of a Kamikaze on the instrument that was the foundation of the this free country. The Constitution! The ruling passed down last week on Boumediene vs. Bush by the Kennedy led court, was as much of a destruction to our Constitutional as was the Kamikaze plane that slammed into the Bunker Hill aircraft carrier in 1944!

Prior to this left wing attack on the Constitution, aliens had no rights under the Constitution that guides and protects citizens of the United States of America. But with a stoke of Kennedy's pen, non-citizens who have never set foot in the United States, even alleged terrorist aliens, get special constitutional privileges because they were caught trying to kill Americans.


Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer,all leftists who vote as a block, dictated that Americans must regard enemies as if they were just criminal defendants, entitled to an exacting legal process including access to discovery, witnesses, counsel, etc.—This decision will make it impossible to detain them without shutting down interrogations prematurely and possibly informing the enemy of our national-defense secrets. I ask you, what was their justification for this decision, other than a fervor for the Deity of the Left. Destruction of our Constitution, and to substitute One World Government!
"The runaway" justices say that foreign AL-Qaeda killers, detained in Cuba can have access to the federal district courts and demand what, suddenly, are their unearned Constitutional rights.

In those courts, judges emboldened by the high court’s usurpation of Congressional and Presidential war powers, may be emboldened to make decisions as they go along: More access to classified information? Subpoenas commanding the testimony (and cross-examination) of our soldiers regarding the circumstances of capture? Miranda warnings? Prompt access to counsel,speedy trial ad nausea.

Sensational trials in the criminal-justice system with the same presumptions of innocence, privacy, and other privileges vested in American citizens? And who will adjudicate the resulting mess? Our imperial court, of course.” source:—National Review

We are at war, At least 75 Senators, including Kerry and Hillary and 296 Congressmen voted for the war in Iraq. During combat approximately 10,000 prisoners have been captured. Of this group about 800 have been sent to Guantanamo, Cuba where they can be interrogated to obtain information that might save the lives of the men and women who are voluntarily in Iraq and Afghanistan to fight the terrorists.
Since their capture 100 plus prisoners have ben released with a promise they would not return to the war sites. Intelligence reveals that at least 30 have returned to Iraq to kill more Americans!

If what the "Kennedy five" did with their decision was not the equivalent of Judicial murder,it was a bold attack on the war effort that we must win. That makes the Kennedy sycophants at the very least, giving aid and comfort to the enemy!


the judiciary simply has no power over enemy combatants in wartime. Such power is committed to the executive as part of the commander in chief's power, and thus implicitly denied to the judiciary, just as is the power to declare war is unilaterally committed to Congress.
Kennedy's ruling thus effectively overturned the congressional declaration of war -- the use of force resolution voted for by Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, 75 other senators as well as 296 congressmen. If there's no war, then there are no enemy combatants. This is the diabolical arrogance of Kennedy's opinion.

THE FINAL QUESTION WE MUST ASK OURSELVES, IS DOES CONGRESS DECIDE WHEN WE GO TO WAR, OR DOES THE SUPREME COURT? AND AFTER WE ARE AT WAR, DOES THE COURT HAVE THE RIGHT, UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, TO DECLARE THAT INCARCERATED PRISONERS ARE ENTITLED TO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NEVER IN THIS COUNTRY UNTIL CAPTURED?

WE HAVE BECOME A CULTURE OF DEATH!

"DO NO HARM" is part of the philosophy and rationale within the Hippocratic oath that once was the standard by which all M.D.s practiced their profession.
"I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death. " A phrase that apparently has been cast aside by abortionists and those who assist in Euthanasia!

Thank God most of them(MDs), still believe in the sacred trust they have to do all they can to bring a patient from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.

There are those whose attitudes toward babies in the womb, and old people who are either inconveniently ill and require expensive and time consuming care, or have some physical or mental defect, is that they should be "helped" to get on with their death!

The partial birth abortion involves putting a surgical scissors into the fontanel of the baby's head( a place where the skull bones have not joined together) and sucking out the brains! This is done because the baby has been determined to either be deformed or has a genetic defect that it probably will become a Downs Syndrome baby. So it is killed!

We have more and more people immigrating to this country. The population is exploding with immigrants, and many are elderly. The population has not grown because there are too many births. Abortion kills a million potential doctors, nurses, and any other occupations you can think of, that this now dead baby will never get to be. Perhaps a President!

The increase in the elderly population puts strain on the business of Medicine, and a big drain on the public Treasury in costs for Medicare and Medicaid. How can we pair this down?

Why not eliminate the infirmed, terminally ill and chronically sick old people? We can say we are helping them along, so they don't suffer. Some may even want the help in ending their lives because of pain or despair.

In the last 40 years this Country has gone from the religiously based country it was founded as, to a godless, secular, relativist and hedonic politically correct amorphousism. We have lost sight of the sanctity of life, and substituted, this precious gift from the Almighty, with: "It is my body, and I will do what I want with it and to it"! Freedom has been substituted by license! WE have become a country that has lost it's moral compass!

In 1997 the State of Oregon passed the first Law allowing the murdering of old and infirmed people. It had it's restrictions. Such as, the person wanting to end his/her life would have to submit a written request two times. Their requests had to be 15 days apart, and they had to have two witnesses signatures. One of the witnesses had to be a relative, OR heir, attending doctor, or a person connected to a health care facility.
Sounds to me like an orderly at a hospice and a nurse could decide they needed more beds, so we will get rid of Herman in room 666 who is dying of emphysema, and keeps the other patients awake at night with his constant coughing!

Now from the "Left Coast" comes another petition to kill old and sick people disquised as a way to assist those who want to die in dignity! The petition is called, "Initiative 1000", it would allow doctors to administer lethal drugs to patients who couldn't do so themselves.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) "There isn't much John Peyton can do on his own except speak, and soon he'll lose even that.

The former Boeing computer programmer has Lou Gehrig's disease, which progressively paralyzes its victims. His doctor gives him three to six months to live.

He is using his last months to oppose a ballot initiative that would allow physicians in Washington state to help terminally ill patients end their lives. Only Oregon has such a law.

"What we're really doing, I believe, is attempting to eliminate the sufferer so we don't have to deal with them," Mr. Peyton said.

Supporters must collect about 225,000 valid voter signatures by July 3 to get the "Washington Death with Dignity Initiative" on the November ballot. The campaign has raised more than $1 million, more than enough for a successful signature drive, setting up a fiercely fought and emotional campaign.

Those in favor of the measure say it's not meant to encourage people to end their lives prematurely. That's what they say publicly!These are the same type people who decry capitol punishment and demonstrate against the war in Iraq, but killing old people is fair game! What a slippery slope to h##l we are taking!


"They are realistically accepting that their death is imminent," said Barbara Coombs Lee, president of the Portland-based group Compassion and Choices, part of the coalition supporting the initiative. "Knowing that, they want to protect themselves from unnecessary and unbearable suffering."

Outside Oregon, advocates of the idea, fortunately haven't fared well. California, Michigan and Maine voters rejected the idea, and bills have failed in statehouses across the country. But how long will it be before the Supreme Court declare it is a violation of the Constitution to forbid the"right" to kill oneself?

And to top it off, convicted killer Kevorkian, now paroled, will run for Congress in Novemeber!

ROCK STARS DRAW LARGE CROWDS, BUT WOULD YOU WANT ONE TO BE PRESIDENT?

"McCain's speech was creaky, ungracious, and unnecessary," conservative blogger Amy Holmes wrote at National Review. "Watching McCain, I couldn't help but think of the astonishing contrast Barack's triumphant speech to a massive and adoring crowd will be. It was not a comparison McCain should have invited."

Republican strategist Alex Castellanos admitted that night on CNN, "It could have been a little more vibrant, let's face the facts."

The large Obama rallies offer a sharp contrast. Attendees are treated to an upbeat soundtrack, cheer loudly and do the wave while waiting for the candidate. They often are asked to arrive hours early owing to security screening and if they want to get a good seat".

THE PREVIOUS QUOTE FROM THE WASHINGTON TIMES, ILLUSTRATES THE ABSURDITY OF THE MEDIA ATTENTION BEING GIVEN TO BARRACK OBAMA.It also illustrates how shallow those who report the "news" to us are in their reporting. Style, not substance seems to be the important character needed to be president. If these reporters were alive and active in Franklin Roosevelt's time. They would have reported that he is nothing but a cripple who is too weak to lead the nation!

Rock concerts and singers like Kenny Cheslie, and Faith Hill draw huge crowds in the thousands to hear them perform. Obama is something of a Media star because the Media wants him to win, and shows him only in a positive light. None of the negative items like his voting record, pro-abortion, and amnesty positions are high lighted in Obama's coverage. All we here is the empty promises of change and unsubstantiated promises of more government "free bees". Utopian promises that hit the right cord with a disenchanted youth who are a large part of his audience at most rallies.

The media and Dr. Dean of the Democrat Party have adopted a "Obamamessia" identification with their anointed candidate for President. Not unlike the idol that The newly crowned US Open golf champion. Tiger Woods, has rightfully earned in the golf world. Tiger Woods proved his ethereal abilities on the links by what he has done, and all those who love the sport of golf acknowledge his pre-eminence in the sport. He is probably the best golfer to ever play the game!

But Obama's status is a product of "Madison Avenue" and rock star proportions. He has done nothing in his political life to prove that he deserves to be president of this great country.

Obama has the premiere leftist record of all the U.S. Senators. A liberal rating of 100%. He would look good on the ballot of Germany or France , and maybe Great Britain, where Socialism is a popular form of government. But, here in the USA, where at least 50% of us cherish our freedoms, he is nothing less than a tax and spend, redistribution of wealth, empty suit who speaks eloquently!

USF A HAVEN FOR MUSLIM TERRORISTS?

Ever since the early 1990's when former USF professor Sami Al Arian established the Center for Islam Studies in a rented house on Pampas Place in Tampa. The influence of CAIR and alleged terrorist agents has plagued USF.
First there was Al Arian, who was accused of funding Islamic terrorist groups. He was later acquited because of a hung jury,but he pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
He was finally removed from the USF faculty, after two years of "administrative leave" granted by the politically correct president of USF, Betty Castor.


Now an Egyptian college student(USF) who videotaped himself showing how to turn remote-controlled cars into bomb detonators has agreed to plead guilty to a federal charge of providing material support to terrorists, according to a plea agreement filed Friday. Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, one of two students arrested after a traffic stop in South Carolina in August, will enter the plea at a hearing next week in federal court in Tampa.


Youssef Megahed, 21, and Ahmed Mohamed, 24, were charged Aug. 6, 2007, with possession of an incendiary or explosive device. Mohamed said in court they were carrying fireworks.
South Carolina authorities say the students had a pipe bomb and related bomb making paraphernalia in their car when they were stopped Aug. 4 for speeding.


"Megahed and Mohamed, were pulled over about seven miles from the Goose Creek Naval Weapons Station, which houses a military prison for enemy combatants! I guess they were going to put on a fire works display for their Islamic brothers, YEH RIGHT!


One week later, Aug. 11, the FBI searched a home at 12402 Pampas Place in Tampa, owned by Noor and Ana Salhab. Authorities said the search was related to the case involving the two students.


After the Pampas Place house was searched, Noor Salhab told reporters the FBI seized a number of items, including a gas tank for a lawn mower, a telephone, his son's computer and some pipe.Pipe bombs made with gasoline, nails and explosive powder are some of the terrorist's bomb materials.

Federal court records show Salhab leased the house in the early 1990s to World and Islam Studies Enterprise, a think tank run by Sami Al-Arian, the former USF professor accused of funding Islamic terrorist organizations.It is also a meeting place for WISE, world of Islam studies!

Also appearing before the grand jury was Ahmed Bedier, who has served as a spokesman for the Megahed family. Bedier is executive director of the Tampa chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations(CAIR) and is a frequent media spokesman for Muslims and Islamic causes".source:Charlotte Observer

To illustrate how dangerous these people are, one of the defendants uploaded a video to U-Tube that showed how to make a bomb!

Mohamed stated that his purpose in producing and uploading the video to YouTube was to teach "martyrdoms" and "suiciders" how to save themselves so they could continue to fight the US military in Arab countries, the plea agreement said. In the 12-minute video, Mohamed discusses in Arabic and shows how to dismantle and rewire a remote-controlled toy car to make a detonator, the document said. "Instead of the brethren going to, to carry out martyrdom operations, no, may God bless him, he can use the explosion tools from distance and preserve his life...for the real battles,"

Perhaps it is time to do more thorough background checks on College applicants, particularly at USF!
