Women On Waves....

2012-01-26T00:00:00.000-06:00

Women on Waves has proven that it is just another manifestation of pro abortion hypocrisy and contraceptive imperialism. While this vile organization shouts at pro lifers to "obey the law" they blatantly and deliberately set out to offend and ignore the laws of entire populations who have deemed abortion "illegal." They are extreme in their desire to murder as many of the pre-born as they can yet, demand that the pro-life movement be silent. Sorry, that's just not going to happen. Not by a long shot.

WoW (Women on Waves) was founded by the sick and demented person of Dutch doctor Rebecca Gomperts, the medical officer for the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior II.

For those of you not familiar Women on Waves, it's an international organization based in the Netherlands that helps women in countries where abortion is criminalized. They literally have a ship and dock in countries like Chile where women get unsafe abortions and die on a regular basis.

READ ON...

Dr. Death, aka, Gomberts found that reputable medicine "didn't fulfill her." In 1997, she performed her first abortions. She enjoyed ending pre-born life so much, she decided to make it her life's work.

Two years later, the newly minted abortionist established the Women on Waves Foundation (WOW), and equipped a trawler named the Sea Change with a mobile abortion clinic in a small converted shipping container put together by an artist.

She intended to take the boat to South America and Africa, providing abortions just outside the territorial waters of nations where abortion is still illegal. The purpose of the whole charade was to promote abortion law liberalization with a concerted media blitz.

One of the primary missions of the abortion boat was to "train local service providers in techniques of vacuum aspiration." In other words, WOW intended to leave hastily trained illegal abortionists behind to cause the very carnage it claimed it was trying to end.

FACEBOOK had at first removed this content from WoW's page,

But after a few words from Dr. Death, they went ahead and recanted and allowed the post.

I am amazed that this has not been shut down, I believe they were in 2009 but since then have a found a way to get their despicable death boat back on the waters. I honestly will never understand why women are so bound and determine to destroy so many innocent lives.

Regardless of how the child was conceived, we are still speaking of a person with a soul, with life coursing through their tiny bodies. This is an individual who, out of no fault or choice of their own was given life. So, how arrogant of women and men to believe that they have the right to brutally murder and rip their tiny bodies apart, for one erroneous and selfish reason, convenience. If a woman wasn't "pregnant" than why does she need an abortion? Look the word up.

Alienation blog tour

I would first like to thank Litfuse Group for providing a copy of this truly fantastic science fiction book. Thank you!

ABOUT THE BOOK: After his parents were killed in a car accident, Colt McAllister was drawn into a world he thought only existed in comic books-one where mind control, jet packs, and flying motorcycles don't even scratch the surface.

Along with his best friends Oz and Danielle, Colt is now training at the secret Central Headquarters Against the Occult and Supernatural academy. But strange accidents seem to follow him. . . even with the security of the school grounds. What first seems random soon turns deadly. But who is targeting Colt?

As the alien invasions increase in frequency and force, C.H.A.O.S resources are taxed to the limit and they're forced to utilize the new recruits. In the midst of battle, Colt will discover some startling revelations . . . about himself, his friendship with Oz, and why he has been chosen to defeat this alien attack against earth.

LETICIA'S REVIEW: I absolutely, positively, without a doubt LOVED this book. It was all science fiction and for someone that loves sci-fi, it was a breath of fresh air. There is mystery, suspense and of course, aliens that can be disguised as anyone. You aren't quite sure whom you could trust and you keep wondering until the very end. Also, the main character, Colt, is very likable and you cheer him on. It's a world of high-tech gear, shape-shifting aliens, simulated reality and hoverboards. It has a Star Trek kind of quality that I enjoyed immensely. I read this book in a day, if you can believe that.

One downside to the book it left it's readers in a cliff-hanger, typical of DC comic fashion. So, I anxiously will await the sequel.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jon S. Lewis is the coauthor of the Grey Griffins trilogy (over 500,000 books in print) and the upcoming Grey Griffins Clockwork Chronicles. He also writes for the DC COMIC family of publishers. He resides with his family in Arizona.

Israel to Give Obama 12 Hours Notice on Attacking Iran’

2012-01-23T00:00:00.000-06:00

Israeli officials told visiting USS Chief Joint of Staffs Martin Dempsey that it would give President Barack Obama no more than 12 hours notice if and when it attacks Iran, The London Times reported Sunday.

The Netanyahu government also will not coordinate with the United States an attack on the Islamic Republic, according to the report, the latest in a number of suposed scenarios concerning cooperation or lack of it between Jerusalem and Washington.

It is left to speculation whether the rumors are based on facts or are leaked by officials to mask the possibility of secret military coordination.

The London Times said its sources explained that that Israel fears that President Obama would try to torpedo an Israel attack if more notice were given because he is concerned that Iran will respond by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, sparking a rise in the price of oil that could cripple Western economies. If the attack were to occur in the next 10 months, it would put President Obama in a tight spot on the eve of his bid for re-election.

President Shimon Peres told Dempsey, "I am sure that in this fight [against Iran] we will emerge victorious. It is a fight that does not belong exclusively to the United States or Israel, but a global struggle to create a safe world for all peoples.”

Dempsey, on his first official visit to Israel, was wined and dined by Defense MinisterEhud Barak and IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gants, who went so far as to arrange an IDF orchestra rendition of song made famous by Frank Sinatra, one of Dempsey’s favorite singers.

Dempsey tried to play down the postponement of what was billed as the largest-ever joint military drill between the Israeli and American armies, involving thousands of U.S. Army soldiers.

Published reasons for the delay have ranged from budgetary constraints, logistical problems to a signal from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that he distrusts President Obama’s commitment to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Some may not agree with Mr. Netanyahu's stance. However, I see a man who is doing all that he can, within his power, in protecting his citizens at any cost, unlike other world leaders, who sits on their ass and does nothing but take long vacations and golf expeditions. Netanyahu is a true leader and should be commended for his strength, courage, wisdom and intelligence.

I honestly believe that Israel is under no obligation to inform the United States of anything. Why even inform the Obama administration at all? Did Obama inform our own Congress after he ordered an unauthorized attack on Libya? No, he did not, until after the fact, So, how dare he even expect some kind of alert from Israel? Amongst other underhanded activities.

No, this is a mistake on Israel's part. I wouldn't let anyone know what I was doing. For one thing, Obama cannot be trusted, he would warn Iran, Saudi Arabia or any anti-Israel nations and would, more than likely. join forces with them and try to obliterate Israel from the map. This is just my opinion folks.

Iran Threatens To Torpedo US Carriers In The Persian Gulf

2012-01-19T15:51:00.001-06:00

Underscoring its desire to keep U.S. aircraft carriers from the Persian Gulf, a senior Iranian military commander today announced his possible plan to ambush the American fleet.

Chalk this one up to more bluster, or part of a mounting back and forth rhetoric headed nowhere good, either way — Tehran plans to rely on its subs.

Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Army's Self-Sufficiency Jihad, Rear Admiral Farhad Amiri told FARS that Iran has the finest electric diesel submarines in the world, and that while the U.S. has focused on Tehran's "astonishing surface capabilities," it has forgotten about the underwater threat.

Amiri said he plans to slip his fleet of subs onto the Persian Gulf floor and "fire missiles and torpedoes simultaneously."

Iran claims to have 17 Ghadir diesel electric subs in its fleet, and four have been photographed together, so the threat is not entirely without merit.

The Ghadir is incapable of holding a commando crew, and despite scant details it may be well-equipped to follow through on this most recent threat.

Earlier this month Iran demanded the U.S. remove its carriers from the Gulf after the John C. Stennis passed through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Army Commander Major General Ataollah Salehi said "We advise, warn and recommend [the U.S. Navy] not to return this carrier to its previous location in the Persian Gulf."

"We are not in the habit of repeating the warning and we warn only once," Salehi said, without mentioning the Stennis.

In a related update: FARS reports that President Obama is calling for direct talks with Iran and communicated this desire through a secret letter to the Islamic Republic's supreme leader.

Well, bloody hell. Now what? Should we just bomb the crap out of them? Or should we just acquiesce and move along and give them their space.

These aren't idle threats, Iran is literally threatening to kill Americans and our government needs to move quickly before blood is shed.

Why are secret letters being exchanged by Obama and the Islamic Republic leader? This was an open threat to American citizens, and a letter is not going to cut it. I believe a direct confrontation is in order. We must remind them that the United States is not some pantywaist sissies that will back down from a fight.

This situation is volatile to say the least and Obama had better act. It's his job to see that Americans are kept safe.

This threat should not be taken lightly. Nuff said.

Obama: I'm going to Disney World

2012-01-17T19:22:00.001-06:00

From Chicago Tribune: WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, set to unveil a new policy for boosting U.S. tourism, has chosen a fairy-tale setting for the Thursday announcement: Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, with its iconic Cinderella Castle as a backdrop.

And if some Disney magic rubs off on his re-election bid, too, then so be it.

The event, details of which were made public Tuesday, is the first of what is sure to be many election-year visits by the president to Florida. Obama carried the nation's largest swing state in 2008, but he faces a heavier lift this year in a state where the unemployment rate remains above the national average.

While specifics of his tourism plan were hazy, there is one topic at the top of the political wish list for Central Florida tourism: visa reform. The tourism industry has been pushing Congress and Obama to make travel to the U.S. easier for visitors from emerging nations such as Brazil, India and China.

"We understand that he [Obama] is going to trumpet the value of travel generally and improve facilitation for international travel, especially from China and Brazil," said Blain Rethmeier, senior vice president of public affairs at the U.S. Travel Association.

Brazil, whose citizens have a reputation for loving Orlando's theme parks, has only four U.S. consular offices for conducting the in-person interviews required of anyone who wants a visa to visit this country. That means some families have to travel several hundred miles for interviews before they can even get permission to travel to the U.S.

A recent congressional appropriations bill gave the U.S. secretary of state authority to develop a pilot program using videoconference technology to conduct visa interviews for leisure and business travelers. Such video conferences would be high on Disney's priority list, as they would likely cut the overall expense of coming to Orlando to see the Mouse.

A congressional aide, not authorized to speak on the record, said Capitol Hill expects the White House to make permanent a program called Global Entry, which cuts down clearance times at U.S. Customs checkpoints for "pre-approved, low-risk travelers" arriving in this country.

There also is the expectation that Obama will tout new hires for consular offices in Brazil and China — a move announced last year by the State Departmentthat could boost by 1 million the number of visas processed annually in each country.

Air Force One is expected to land at Orlando International Airport late-morning Thursday, with the president's motorcade taking him directly to Disney World. He is to leave Central Florida less than three hours later.

The tourism-policy changes are the latest effort by the Obama administration to get around legislative gridlock in Congress through executive actions.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't this idiot and his wife just get back from a 14 day vacation in Hawaii?? And used tax dollars to pay for it? So, now we are expected to fork out more money for Air Force One to be used, again, as his personal taxi? What the hell! This is unreal.

This nation is in a serious economic melt-down. We have our armed forces spread out thin, if I might add, in areas that could cost them their lives. Our borders are unsecured, gas prices have gone up, the cost of food has gone up, and many, many Americans are out of work, and he wants to promote tourism. Yeah, he has his priorities straight, imbecile!

I can you tell right now not many of us, myself included, can afford to go Disney World, let alone all the trips the Obama's have had since they took over the White House. The Obama's have used this prestigious and coveted position to spend American tax dollars and live like Hollywood movie stars. He is irresponsible and arrogant.

This is a blatant disregard for all the people struggling to get food on their tables and gas in their vehicles.

Unbelievable!!

It's almost like the Titanic all over again. And I believe that the captain should be jailed and glad he has been arrested. Just my opinion.

Barbour pardons nearly 200, including killers

2012-01-15T00:00:00.001-06:00

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - In his final days as Mississippi governor, Republican Haley Barbour gave pardons or early release to nearly 200 people, including more than two dozen whose crimes were listed as murder, manslaughter or homicide.

State records released Tuesday show some of the convicted killers were pardoned, while others were given medical or conditional releases. He had released five other convicted killers in 2008. One of them had been granted a conditional release and was pardoned this time.

Relatives of crime victims had voiced outrage Monday after it was revealed that Barbour had pardoned four convicted murderers. Those men had worked at the Governor's Mansion as part of a prison trusty program.

Barbour had no comment when asked by The Associated Press about the pardons on the way to the swearing-in of his successor, Republican Phil Bryant.

I am shocked, not the fact that is was a Republican, but the fact that this moron allowed murderers to go free?

None of those vile scum bags should have ever been allowed to see the light of day again, and quite frankly, why weren't they executed? Sometimes I would love to go back to the old days when these filthy bastards were hung in a public square. No mercy.

I absolutely believe pedophiles, rapists and murderers, deserve no less than their deaths. This is abhorrent and a great injustice to the family and of our laws.

There must be a way to overturn this decision from this governor? I have no idea.

Italy: No tax revenues to mosques

2012-01-15T00:00:00.000-06:00

"Politicians from the ruling coalition cite radical imams, polygamy and failure to uphold women's rights by Muslims immigrants as obstacles to recognising Islam as an official religion in Italy."

All eminently reasonable concerns. Meanwhile, the standard response from "moderates" would be to insist these issues have nothing to do with Islam, but are in fact "cultural," despite the fact that, oddly enough, these same "cultural" issues and interest in waging jihad are found in locales far removed from one another.

So, the "radical imams" couldn't possibly be observing the commands and actions of Muhammad, or the teachings of the Qur'an.

Polygamy? Well, it doesn't really happen, except when it does. And the women? They love it, honest!

Failure to uphold women's rights? Why, Islam elevates women! Just try to overlook things like wife-beating (Qur'an 4:34: yes, it really says to beat them), a woman's testimony being equal to half that of a man (Qur'an 2:282), and child marriage after the example of Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, just to name a few.

But, the cleric interviewed below insists this is unfair. After all, look at all of the Islamic states affording the same recognition (as equals, not as dhimmis) and access to resources to Jews, Christians, Hindus... Oh, wait... "Italy: Islam denied income tax revenue," from AdnKronos International, August 27:
Rome, 27 August (AKI) - Mosques in Italy will not receive a share of income tax revenue the Italian government allocates to religious faiths each year. Hindu and Buddhist temples, Greek Orthodox churches and Jehovah's Witnesses will be eligible for the funds, according to a bill approved by the Italian cabinet in May and still must be approved by parliament.

Until now, the government had earmarked 8 percent of income tax revenue for Italy's established churches. The great majority of these funds go to the Catholic Church, although if they wish, individual tax payers may elect to give the money to charities and cultural projects instead.

The head of COREIS, one of Italy's largest Muslim groups, Yahya Pallavicini, said he was bitter that Islam had been denied the revenue from Italian income tax.

"Work should be begun on legally recognising those moderate Muslims who have for years shown themselves to be reliable interlocutors who are free of and [sic] fundamentalist ideology," he said.
Islam is not an established religion in Italy and there is only one official mosque in the country, Rome's Grand Mosque. Politicians from the ruling coalition cite radical imams, polygamy and failure to uphold women's rights by Muslims immigrants as obstacles to recognising Islam as an official religion in Italy.

Until now, only the Catholic Church, Judaism and other established churches including Lutherans, Evangelists, Waldensians and 7th-day Adventists have received the income tax revenue from the Itallain government.

There are between one million and 1.5 million Muslims in Italy and 130 mosques linked the Muslim umbrella organisation UCOII across the country.

Italy gets it why not the rest of the world? Maybe they all could take a few lessons, the United States included.

Obama Appoints La Raza Radical to Control Domestic Policy

2012-01-11T17:41:00.000-06:00

President Obama has appointed open border/amnesty advocate Cecilia Munoz to replace Melody Barnes as the head of the Domestic Policy Council. Munoz, a strong supporter of the failed DREAM Act, is the former senior vice president for the radical open-border National Council of La Raza.

Muñoz is now serving as the White House's director of intergovernmental affairs and is in charge of outreach to state and local governments.

"The president has asked, she has accepted," Carney said.

Muñoz is an immigration expert who worked for the National Council of La Raza, the largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, until she joined the administration in 2009. The group works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans and advocates legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

The La Raza coalition of immigrant groups that are seeking to abolish all immigration laws. La Raza pushes racially divisive education that suggest current American laws and culture are racist.

La Raza Agenda:

Opposes efforts to stop illegal aliens from voting
Opposes border security
Opposes any kind of immigration enforcement and wants to abolish current -- and all -- immigration laws
Supports a belief that illegal aliens deserve licenses and welfare
Supports amnesty for illegal aliens

Do you remember this in Tucson after Judge Susan Bolton blocked the most controversial parts of SB 1070, essentially taking out all real power from the bill, a group known as "Freedom for Arizona," committed an act of domestic terrorism by spreading out over 15 tires connected by rope and covered in tar, a banner, brown paint and shards of broken glass across I-19 in Arizona, a busy interstate with a 65 mph speed limit covering approximately 70 miles between Tucson and Nogales. This action not only stopped all traffic flow, but could have killed innocent people in the process.
The goal of the tires, glass and paint was to stop all deportations back to Mexico as well as stopping all capital flow to damage the economy. The banner placed across the interstate read, "Stop All Militarization! The Border is Illegal!"

They refuse to wave the American flag during rallies, instead wave the Mexican flag.

They In 2008 the agency revealed that some 5 million fraudulent or defaulted home mortgages were in the hands of illegal immigrants, who obtained the loans from banks that were pressured by the government to offer them, according to a Judicial Watch report.

We need to keep on eye on this situation. This is not good at all. I am very concerned.

Obama's War on the US Military

2012-01-10T11:30:00.001-06:00

On January 3rd, President Obama released his vision for military expenditures going forward. It is a plan that calls for reducing troop strength by tens of thousands because, Mr. Obama contends, ”we’ve succeeded in defending our nation, taking the fight to our enemies, reducing the number of Americans in harm’s way, and we’ve restored America’s global leadership.” An integral part of the new strategy? Abandoning the capability to fight two major ground wars simultaneously. ”Yes, our military will be leaner, said the president, “but the world must know the United States is going to maintain our military superiority with armed forces that are agile, flexible and ready for the full range of contingencies and threats.”

Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, cut right through the rhetoric. ”This is a lead-from-behind strategy for a left-behind America,” he contended. “The president has packaged our retreat from the world in the guise of a new strategy to mask his divestment of our military and national defense.”

The scope of the divestment is daunting. The additional $500 billion in new spending cuts come on top of the $480 billion this president cut out of the military budget his first three years in office. Neither of these cuts reflect the possibility that an additional $500 billion in possible cuts will kick in next January, under “sequestration.” And since the 2012 budget request already calls for the reduction of 27,000 soldiers and 20,000 Marines over the next four years, it is likely those numbers will increase as well.

Mr. Obama contends, "we've succeeded in defending our nation..." Has he completely lost all sense of reality??!! WTH!

We need our military to be strong and capable. Without a strong military defense we are left defenseless. Or is that his whole plan to cripple this nation even further. Because so far he has done a bang up job.

Islam is a great threat to the West and now Iran has nuclear weapons. Iraq is not at peace and Afghanistan is left to fend for themselves and will be back under the severe control of the Taliban and all the equipment that the United States left behind will be utilized by the Taliban. What a tragedy.

The United States is or was a great world power but now we are becoming a mediocre nation due to the incompetency of a president who tends to bow down and kiss the asses of other world leaders. (Sorry for the bad language, there folks.)

I firmly believe the United States cannot afford to make any cuts to our military and he is also taking jobs and security away. How is that supposed to boost the economy? More people on the unemployment line? Is anyone else angry about this turn of events?

Vote for Obama and you are voting for abortion and partial-birth abortion (death to millions of babies.) If you vote for Obama you are supporting a socialist, if you vote for Obama you are in favor of government control and possibly run by a dictator, if you vote for Obama you support a man who enjoys stomping on the Constitution of the United States of America, if you vote for Obama you are in favor of cutting military defenses and leaving this nation without protection against domestic and foreign enemies.

And the domestic enemies are already among us.

Think about it.

911 Tells Mom "Do What You Have To Do": Oklahoma Mom Sarah McKinley Kill...

2012-01-08T19:26:00.000-06:00

Thank goodness we are still able to bear arms in America. As a mother with children, you had better believe I would shoot to kill if someone entered my home to harm me or my babies. We have every right to defend our homes and our families. And I fail to understand why other nations have taken that right away from their citizens.

Story below:

A teenage mother shot and killed an intruder after a 911 operator said she was allowed to defend her infant son and herself with force.

Sarah McKinley, 18, killed Justin Martin with a single gunshot wound on New Year's Eve when he forced his way into her Blanchard, Okla. home and came at her with a long hunting knife, ABC News reports.

The deadly encounter occurred about a week after the young mom's husband died of cancer, according to TV station KOCO. Martin darkened McKinley's door on the day of her husband's funeral, several days before the shooting. He claimed he was a neighbor who wanted to say hello, but she didn't open the door.

Martin returned with an accomplice on Dec. 31, and they tried to force their way into the modest house. When McKinley heard the men trying to break in, she called 911.

She also holed up in her bedroom with a 12-gauge shotgun and a pistol, while she put a bottle in her three-month-old son's mouth.

"I've got two guns in my hand -- Is it okay to shoot him if he comes in this door?" McKinley asked the 911 operator.

"I can't tell you that you can do that, but you do what you have to do to protect your baby," the dispatcher told McKinley when she asked a second time. The call went on for 21 minutes as the men powered their way into McKinley's house.

Police found Martin slumped over a couch that McKinley had used to barricade the door and pronounced him dead on the scene, TV station News 9 reports. They said McKinley's use of force was justified.Eventually, Martin kicked in the door and charged at her with a knife, but McKinley fired before he could injure her.

Yeah, right...

All-American Muslim’s Very Special Tribute to 9/11

2012-01-05T00:00:00.000-06:00

By Daniel Greenfield

All-American Muslim: The Day the World Changed, an episode of the reality series that has the cast interacting emotionally with the attacks of September 11, is less about those who were murdered on that day than about the cast’s feelings and exploitation of that day.

When cast members insist that the terrorists were not Muslims, or not truly Muslims, their denial echoes the collective denial of Muslim communities and leaders in America who have never come to terms with the problem because they are too busy misrepresenting themselves as the victims. They are too busy feeling sorry for themselves to understand the pain of so many Americans on the anniversary of that awful day.

But All-American Muslim’s denial that the September 11 hijackers were Muslims acting in the name of Islam, because Muslims are incapable of terrorism is blatantly dishonest. Especially when the series featured two Imams who support terrorists, Imam Abdul Latif Berry, who is quite a fan of the Ayatollah Khomeini, and Husham Al-Husainy, who supports Hezbollah. The appearance of these two men on a series which pretends to show us the peaceful nature of the real All-American Muslim demonstrates how difficult it is to detach the religious violence in Islam from the Muslim community.

Before anyone asks, no I have not personally seen this show, nor will I subject myself to such bile. I have heard enough about it that I don't care to ever watch it and with it's plummeting ratings it won't be around long enough to make any bit of difference.

Why would anyone embrace a religion that clearly oppresses its followers? Read below:
Top ten reasons why sharia is bad for all societies:

10. Islam commands that drinkers and gamblers should be whipped. The Quran finally prohibits alcohol and gambling in Sura 5:90—91; they do not prescribe the punishment of flogging, but the hadith does. A poor 'criminal' was brought to Muhammad who became angry:

The Prophet felt it hard (was angry) and ordered all those who were present in the house, to beat him [the drinker dragged into Muhammad's presence]. (Bukhari, Punishments, nos. 6774—6775)

9. Islam allows husbands to hit their wives even if the husbands merely fear highhandedness in their wives.

The Quran says:

4:34 . . . If you fear highhandedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great. (MAS Abdel Haleem, the Qur'an, Oxford UP, 2004)

This hadith shows Muhammad hitting his girl—bride, Aisha, daughter of Abu Bakr: Muslim no.2127: 'He [Muhammad] struck me [Aisha] on the chest which caused me pain.'

8. Islam allows an injured plaintiff to exact legal revenge—physical eye for physical eye. The Quran says:

5:45 And We ordained therein for them: Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth and wounds equal for equal. But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers . . .). (Hilali and Khan, The Noble Qur'an, Riyadh: Darussalam, 1996)

7. Islam commands that a male and female thief must have a hand cut off.

The Quran says:

5:38 Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done—a deterrent from God: God is almighty and wise. 39 But if anyone repents after his wrongdoing and makes amends, God will accept his repentance: God is most forgiving and merciful. (Haleem)

6. Islam commands that highway robbers should be crucified or mutilated.

The Quran says:

5:33 Those who wage war against God and His Messenger and strive to spread corruption in the land should be punished by death, crucifixion, the amputation of an alternate hand and foot or banishment from the land: a disgrace for them in this world, and then a terrible punishment in the Hereafter, 34 unless they repent before you overpower them: in that case bear in mind that God is forgiving and merciful. (Haleem)

the hadith says that Muhammad tortured these next people before he executed them. This scenario provides the historical context of Sura 5:33—34. The explanations in parentheses have been added by the translator:

Narrated Anas: Some people . . . came to the Prophet and embraced Islam . . . [T]hey turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and took the camels away . . . The Prophet ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and their eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs should not be cauterized, till they died. (Bukhari, Punishments, no. 6802)

5. Islam commands that homosexuals must be executed.

Ibn Abbas, Muhammad's cousin and highly reliable transmitter of hadith, reports the following about early Islam and Muhammad's punishment of homosexuals: . . .

'If you find anyone doing as Lot's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done' (Abu Dawud no. 4447).

This hadith passage says that homosexuals should be burned alive or have wall pushed on them:

Ibn Abbas and Abu Huraira reported God's messenger as saying, 'Accursed is he who does what Lot's people did.' In a version . . . on the authority of Ibn Abbas it says that Ali [Muhammad's cousin and son—in—law] had two peopleburned and that Abu Bakr [Muhammad's chief companion] had a wall thrown down on them. (Mishkat, vol. 1, p. 765, Prescribed Punishments)

4. Islam orders unmarried fornicators to be whipped and adulterers to be stoned to death.

The Quran says:

24:2 The fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment. [This punishment is for unmarried persons guilty of the above crime (illegal sex), but if married persons commit it (illegal sex), the punishment is to stone them to death, according to Allah's law]. (Hilali and Khan).

3. Islam orders death for Muslim and possible death for non—Muslim critics of Muhammad and the Quran and even sharia itself.

Here are the classical legal rulings.

First, the Muslim deserves death for doing any of the following (Reliance of the Traveler pp. 597—98, o8.7):

(1) Reviling Allah or his Messenger; (2) being sarcastic about 'Allah's name, His command, His interdiction, His promise, or His threat'; (3) denying any verse of the Quran or 'anything which by scholarly consensus belongs to it, or to add a verse that does not belong to it'; (4) holding that 'any of Allah's messengers or prophets are liars, or to deny their being sent'; (5) reviling the religion of Islam; (6) being sarcastic about any ruling of the Sacred Law; (7) denying that Allah intended 'the Prophet's message . . . to be the religion followed by the entire world.'

2. Islam orders apostates to be killed.

This Muslim website has an overview of Islam on apostates. They should be given time to repent, but if they refuse, they must be killed.

And the number one reason why sharia is bad for all societies . . .
1. Islam commands offensive and aggressive and unjust jihad.

Muhammad is foundational to Islam, and he set the genetic code for Islam, waging war. In the ten years that he lived in Medina from his Hijrah (Emigration) from Mecca in AD 622 to his death of a fever in AD 632, he either sent out or went out on seventy—four raids, expeditions, or full—scale wars. They range from small assassination hit squads to kill anyone who insulted him.

Happy Birthday to me...

2012-01-04T14:24:00.000-06:00

Now that's how to play Happy Birthday! Rock on!!

So, today I am officially 42-years-old and I still feel like a kid inside. I am enjoying a quiet day. Got off from work at noon and proceeded to treat myself to a Japanese Hibachi steak lunch, white mocha latte from my favorite coffee shop, and sitting here just savoring the quiet house. No husband or kids, no loud tv's blaring, just wonderful quiet.

Yep, that's the life. One more hour and the chaos begins. I could go for a molten chocolate cake or some brownies, though.....

See you all tomorrow with some more politics, or may be not? Tune in and find out what interesting things I might come up with.

The Truth....a history lesson for all.

2012-01-03T14:30:00.001-06:00

Just thought I would throw this tid-bit of information there and see what kind of results it would get.

HISTORY LESSON:

by Greg Wujec

REMEMBER THIS. I MEAN REALLY REMEMBER THIS:

This is just a history lesson. I am sending it to all regardless of party. It is history and nothing can change it.

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actuallyJanuary 3rd 2007,the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.

The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

Remember that day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment...to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie -starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy). Barneyblocked it and called it a "Chicken Little Philosophy" (and the sky did fall!)
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA

And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!!

So when someone tries to blame Bush...
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving the economy into the ditch.
Budgets do not come from the White House.. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.

In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for, and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."

There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

Postcards from the Oval Office

2012-01-02T15:41:00.000-06:00

Would you speak with the Chief of Staff, your Chief Economics Adviser, and your Senior Adviser with your feet up on the Resolute Desk – a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880?

Obama lacks respect for the White House furniture, which reflects his disregard for his position as president, for "We the People" and apparently has some sick vendetta against antique furniture.

Honestly, get the man an ottoman or a foot stool! Tell the idiot that he shouldn't be putting his feet up on expensive furniture especially when it doesn't even belong to him.

Good grief! How many of us would have been bopped on the head by our mothers or grandmothers for putting our feet up on any furniture? Right?

Nascar driver Kasey Kahne and Target 'Nurse-Ins': Why Is Public Breast-Feeding Still an Issue?

2011-12-31T11:41:00.000-06:00

A controversial tweet from NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne and "nurse-in" demonstrations by breast-feeding mothers at Target stores nationwide this week have re-ignited the debate about nursing in public.

The question of whether it is appropriate for nursing mothers to breast-feed in public areas elicits passionate responses on both sides of the argument. Those against it believe breast-feeding should be done in private, saying it makes them uncomfortable to see a mother nursing her child out in the open. Those who support nursing in public contend that the practice is normal, natural and a mother's right.

Kahne found himself in hot water Tuesday when he said on Twitter that a woman's breast-feeding in public was "nasty."

"Just walking though supermarket. See a mom breast feeding little kid. Took second look because obviously I was seeing things. I wasn't! #nasty," the racer said in a tweet to his more than 100,000 followers.

His tweet prompted a firestorm of comments from both men and women, many of whom chastised Kahne for being insensitive, telling him to "grow up." But several others agreed with him. Kahne issued an apology on his Facebook page Wednesday, ESPN.com first reported:
I tried to confirm this but was unable to. I was told by someone that the mother that Kahne witnessed was nursing a two-year-old kid?

I don't believe anyone has the right to tell a mom where she can nurse her child. It is a very natural and healthy way for a mother to feed her child. I won't argue with that since I was also a nursing mom.

However, this is where I am sure I am going to receive some flack. Openly breastfeeding in public can be upsetting to some people, so using good judgment helps a nursing mom steer clear of uncomfortable situations and controversy. Like being asked to go to a more private or secluded place. Some stores and restaurants even provide an area for nursing moms. The bathroom IS NOT an appropriate place for a mother to nurse her hungry child. That's just disgusting and unsanitary.

I would recommend to nursing mothers to be respectful of those who are not comfortable with it and honestly, I wouldn't appreciate my two young sons seeing a woman's bare naked breast. That's just me.

There are many and very lovely breast blankets and covers, shawls, scarfs slings, and even special shirts designed for discreet nursing. There is no reason at all for a nursing mother to just pull out her breast, for the whole world to see, and begin to nurse her child. Sometimes these women do it out of defiance or pride that they can. My opinion folks.

Found this interesting: While the appropriate age to wean a child is not set in stone, it is culturally acceptable in America to nurse a child for the first twelve months. Once solid foods are introduced into the child’s diet and they begin to walk, American customs call for the weaning of the child.

Okay, so why do we see mothers still feeding their children after the age of 2 or even 4 years of age? And some, even at the ages of 6 or 7 years of age? How would you feel witnessing that?

Just thought I would throw that in.

MOVING ON...

I want to wish everyone a very safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! May you all be blessed and covered in the love of Jesus Christ.

I hope to see you all next year! So, please if you are going out, play it safe and don't drink and drive or find a designated driver or carry extra cash for a cab ride home.

I want to make sure I see all of you back for some more lively debates in the new year.

PHILLY COUNCILWOMAN WILL ‘RETIRE’ FOR ONE DAY, COLLECT A $478K PENSION, AND RETURN ON MONDAY

2011-12-29T22:40:00.001-06:00

Philadelphia is known as the city of brotherly love and, apparently, paying out massive pensions to public employees who will continue working for the city.

Marion B. Tasco, who has been described as being “politically savvy,” will retire from her sixth term as councilwoman, collect $478,057, and then be sworn in on Monday to serve her seventh term.

How does she get away with this?

Tasco, along with many of her fellow Council members, is enrolled in Philadelphia’s Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP). DROP allows city workers to collect salary and build up pension money during the last four years of their employment, writes Aaron Kase of Philadelphia Weekly.

Naturally, when DROP was originally introduced, it was touted as being “revenue neutral.” It’s been anything but that. SInce its introduction, Philadelphia’s DROP program has cost the city $258million in extra pension costs over a decade, according to a 2010 Boston College study.

Philadelphia’s Mayor Nutter has tried on numerous occasions to eliminate the DROP program.

“In September, Council voted to override Nutter’s veto of a bill, sponsored by Tasco that would preserve the DROP program, while reducing its cost,” writes Jan Ransom of the Daily. Nutter has vowed to work “tirelessly” to abolish the program.

And his attempts didn’t deter Tasco.

“While many of Tasco’s fellow council members dropped out of the re-election race after controversy broke out over their enrollment in DROP, Tasco stayed in the race and won,” writes Robert Johnson of Business Insider.

That means, come Monday, she will be elected as City Councilwoman for Philadelphia’s Ninth District, with all the pay and benefits that come with that position — as well as an additional $478,057.

As Business Insider points out, the city’s web page touts Tasco “as one of Philadelphia’s most influential, politically savvy, and pro-active public officials.”

Over the next few days, Tasco could be proving that claim correct.

This wasn't mentioned in the article, but can you guess what political party she represents? If you answered Democrat, you are correct. Surprised? I am not.

This is a perfect example of how politicians have turned their backs on their constituents and are robbing them blind. The majority of them are corrupt and have no qualms about hurting hard-working taxpayers. They are, quite, literally yanking the food from our hands.

How she was able to get re-elected is beyond my comprehension. She should be fired or locked up for misdirection of funds. She should not be allowed to collect that money, it doesn't belong to her. This is stealing, plain and simple.

I am curious to know if the schmucks who voted for her are regretting it, as much as those who voted for the narcissist, who is presently in office and continues find ways of crippling our struggling nation. He actually has the audacity to ask congress to raise the debt ceiling to $1.2 trillion. So, he can pay bills on time. Really? Is anyone else buying this BS?

These people are nothing but political, blood-thirsty parasites. And they only way to get rid of them is to vote them out of office, permanently.

A perfect way to start is asking for photo ID's of all voters before they even step near a voting booth.

Pro-life activist in China

So, which one are you? Come on be honest.

Okay...now to more serious stuff

MOVING ON.....

‘Batman’ Actor Attempts to Visit Persecuted Pro-Life Activist in China

(CNSNews.com) – Chai Ling, a former leader of the Tiananmen Square protests against Communist Chinese rule, wrote a letter to actor Christian Bale, thanking him for his attempt to visit Chinese pro-life activist Chen Guangcheng, who has been persecuted for years by Communist authorities and is currently under house arrest.

Bale, in China for a movie premiere on Dec. 15, tried to visit with Chen Guangchange, a blind, self-taught lawyer who opposes China’s one-child policy and forced abortions. When Bale approached Chen’s house, Communist authorities pushed him around, knocked over a news cameraman, and forced the actor to leave.

Chen was arrested in 2006 and sentenced to four years in prison following his exposure of 130,000 forced sterilizations and abortions in his village in 2005. Rumors about his health -- he lost his sight at an early age and has been beaten frequently by Chinese authorities -- have strengthened the call for his release from house arrest coming from human rights groups throughout China and in other nations.

Concerning Bale’s attempted visit to the activist, Chai Ling said in a letter to the actor: “I pray that you will continue to remember your experience when you return to the US and that you will continue to be a voice for the voiceless.”

Chai Ling also mentioned other attempts by human rights volunteers to visit with Chen for the National Day of the Blind, which resulted in the volunteers being pushed away, threatened, and, like Bale, followed by security forces in a car.

I am usually not complimentary of Hollywood actors, but I must admit this article surprised me. Do I believe this may have been a publicity stunt by Bale? Or were his intentions sincere? I will go ahead and give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that he was being genuine.

Most of us who live in free nations tend to take for granted all of our freedoms, when there are so many still on under less than livable circumstances. They are constantly under strict and cruel rules governed by a cold and ruthless dictatorship.

Mr. Chen is a true hero, a courageous and strong person who, regardless of cruel and unusual punishment, has decided to speak out for those who are forever silenced by their own government.

My hope is that Mr. Bale will take what he learned in China and will bring it to the United States and speak out for the children who are denied the right to live. If only more people would begin to speak out against the atrocities of abortion many lives would be saved.

Defense department agrees to allow Muslim cadets to wear hijabs

2011-12-26T18:19:00.003-06:00

Sorry I was a bit remiss in my posts. But it was a beautiful Christmas weekend. Although, I did have to work today, still catching up on chores, etc. And to top things off my dishwasher decided to give up the ghost last night. So, as of today, I will be hand washing dishes for quite a long time. Oh, the humanity!!

Moving on...

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced today that the Department of Defense will begin allowing Muslim and Sikh students who wear an Islamic head scarf (hijab) or a turban to participate in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC).

“We welcome the fact that Muslim and Sikh students nationwide will now be able to participate fully in JROTC leadership activities while maintaining their religious beliefs and practices,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.

In October, the Washington-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization wrote to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta after a 14-year-old Muslim student at Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tenn., was forced to transfer out of a JROTC class when her commanding officers told her she could not wear hijab while marching in the September homecoming parade.

CAIR requested constitutionally-protected religious accommodations for the girl and for future Muslim JROTC participants.

In a Dec. 19 letter sent to CAIR, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army Larry Stubblefield wrote:

”I have been asked to respond on behalf of the Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta to your October 13, 2011 letter concerning Miss Demin Zawity’s request to wear a religious head covering (hijab) while participating in an Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) event at Ravenwood High School.

“Based on your concerns, the Army has reviewed its JROTC uniform policy and will develop appropriate procedures to provide Cadets the opportunity to request the wear of religious head dress, such as the turban and hijab. This change will allow Miss Zawity and other students the chance to fully participate in the JROTC program. Additionally, a representative from the U.S. Army Cadet Command will contact Miss Zawity and provide her the opportunity to rejoin the Ravenwood High School JROTC unit.

“The Army prides itself in being a diverse organization, comprised of individuals from many faiths and religions. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.”

What is happening to the face our military? What happened to conformity? I know I am beginning to sound redundant but come on!

This is America! Not bloody Pakistan, not Iraq, not Jordan, America! No compromise, either they wear the uniform as it was meant to be worn, or find some other extra curricular activity. Americans should not be forced to acquiesce to CAIR demands.

When is this going to end. This political correctness BS run amok, again.

I do not appreciate our military being forced to comply with Muslim demands.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

2011-12-23T16:00:00.000-06:00

May every single one of you have a blessed and beautiful Christmas. And always remember Jesus Christ is the only reason we celebrate this most glorious day. Our precious Savior was born to redeem and save us all.

I absolutely love signing this song at church. It just fills my heart and I get lost in worship of my Lord. How wonderful is He.

Commission details 675 honour killings in Pakistan in nine-month period

2011-12-21T14:22:00.001-06:00

AT least 675 Pakistani women and girls were murdered during the first nine months of the year for allegedly defaming their family's honour, a leading human rights group said today.

The statistics highlight the scale of violence suffered by many women in conservative Muslim Pakistan, where they are frequently treated as second-class citizens and there is no law against domestic violence.

Despite some progress on better protecting women's rights, activists say the government needs to do far more to prosecute murderers in cases largely dismissed by police as private, family affairs.

"A total of 675 women and girls were killed in the name of honour across Pakistan from January to September," a senior official in the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said.

They included at least 71 victims under the age of 18.

And this is why I will never stop posting on the violence against women in the religion of Islam. They deserve to have rights and they should be protected as well as their daughters.

These women are raped, burned and mutilated just because their sadistic husbands or even men in their own families feel justified because women are portrayed than nothing more than property.

Where are the voices of the feminists in this nation? Where is their outrage? Or do they see Muslim women as beneath them and not give a rats-rear-end because these women are domestics? (Through no choice of their own, I might add.)

Honestly, I am simply shocked of how little attention these cases receive and only viewed as isolated incidents, when in fact they are not.

Women deserve to choose whom they marry, where they live and even their religion. No man should have that much control over another person.

The Loom book blog tour

2011-12-19T16:14:00.001-06:00

Thank you Summerside Press for providing with an advanced copy of this book.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Lydia wants freedom. She even tried for it once, running off north, but was found and dragged back to her master. When Lydia discovers that with the right clothing and attitude, she can pass for white, a whole new path opens for her.

But Lydia has fallen love with John, a hard-working field slave, and is torn between her true love and her deepest desire. Drawing on the wise community in the plantation's loom room, Lydia chases freedom in a way no one ever expected and risks everything when she agrees to marry a neighboring white plantation owner.

MY REVIEW: I was intrigued by this book because it is way outside my usual genre of mystery and suspense and science fiction books. However, it has it's own version of suspense. This poor woman is masquerading as a white woman and at any given time could be caught. I love her strong character and determination. You just feel for her because she is torn between two worlds and wants to be with the man that she loves. It is an impossible situation. But her faith keeps her strong. I really enjoyed this book.

BANGLADESHI MAN CHOPS OFF WIFE’S FINGERS FOR STUDYING FOR A DEGREE

2011-12-17T23:13:00.001-06:00

Human rights groups in Bangladesh have mobilized in requesting severe punishment for 30-year-old Rafiqul Islam, who has admitted to using a machete to cut off his 21-year-old wife Hawa Akther Jui’s fingers on her right hand as punishment for pursuing higher education without his permission.BBC News reports the sickening news:

“The incident is one of a number of acts of domestic violence targeting educated women in recent months.

Police say that Mr Islam, who works in the United Arab Emirates, tied up his 21-year-old wife, Hawa Akther Jui, earlier this month. He then taped her mouth and cut off the five fingers.

Doctors say the fingers cannot be re-attached and it appears that Ms Akther will have to live with permanent disfigurement.”

Jui told the BBC that her husband had taped her mouth shut and blindfolded her, “saying that he would give me some surprise gifts.”

The Daily Star of Bangladesh reports that several hundred people of Narsingdi, organized by Narsingdi Debate Forum, made a human chain across a busy road in the city Saturday to protest the horrid crime. Hundreds of people have reportedly vistied Jui’s residence every day to express empathy with her.

Mohammed Saluddin, the Bangladesh police chief said that Mr Islam had confessed after he was arrested in the capital, Dhaka, and will face charges of permanent disfiguration. Human rights groups have called for life imprisonment.

The Daily Mail reports that the attack is only the latest in a series of violent acts against educated women in the “Muslim-majority company.”

In June, an unemployed man gouged out the eyes of his wife, an assistant professor at Dhaka University, apparently because he could not stand her pursuing higher studies at a Canadian University.

So much for the peaceful religion of Islam. Another fine example of how these despicable men treat their wives and women in general.

This poor young woman, I cannot imagine her pain and horror. How horrible to be born into such savagery where women absolutely have no rights whatsoever.

Her only crime? Education. Apparently this heinous crime merited torture and getting her fingers chopped off?

And yet, people like Obama and Clinton and liberals in general, prefer to fund and support the LGBT movement rather than using it to help these poor women who had the misfortune of being born in Muslim nations. They are the true victims. Slavery and being subservient are their only option. If they choose otherwise, they suffer great and brutal consequences.

Seriously, folks, what did he expect the Iranians to say? "Sure here is your spy plane that you were using to spy on us?" "Want us to give it a good wash before returning it to you?"

This current president is such a disgrace and an embarrassment to our great nation. I am sure we are the laughingstock around the world. He dishonors his position as Commander in Chief. Do we really want another four years of this man?

California rewarding illegals, encouraging crime

2011-12-09T00:00:00.000-06:00

The Golden State is rewarding illegal behavior by handing out incentives to illegal immigrants, and he expects that to encourage more crime.

The state Legislative Analyst's Office estimates that the California Dream Act could hand out $65 million to illegal immigrant students, which is more than four times what was expected. Initially, the Department of Finance projected that AB 131 would give out roughly $14.5 million. The new state law, signed by Governor Jerry Brown in October, would also give illegal immigrants the right to apply for public financial aid.

"It's going to cost us a fortune," warns Southern California Patriot Coalition founder and spokesman Jeff Schwilk. "We see the results of these initiatives. The state is absolutely broke, and they just keep adding more debt to the bankrupt situation."

Opponents of the California Dream Act are pushing an initiative that would take the issue to the voters in the 2012 election. In the meantime, Schwilk is concerned that the new law will tax the California taxpayers and encourage crime.

"It's just that you're rewarding illegal behavior, and any time you do that, you can expect more illegal behavior," he concludes.

And people wonder why California is bankrupt? Doesn't take a mathematical genius to figure that out.

Below are 10 steps to stop illegal immigration.

Ten Steps to Ending Illegal Immigration. It is important to realize that the proposals outlined below are not separate, but are interdependent parts of an overall plan to end illegal immigration--a plan that can succeed. The following are the key recommendations.

The loopholes that facilitate illegal immigration must be closed.

We need to:

use expeditious exclusion of fraudulent entrants at airports;
limit the Attorney General's excess authority to parole aliens into the country;
cap the number of asylum grantees;
reinstitute authority for the Border Patrol to conduct open-field searches;
stop seventy-two-hour deportation notices (known as "run letters");
eliminate legalistic delaying tactics in immigration hearings;
eliminate the visa waiver program.

Incentives for illegal immigration must be eliminated.

We need to:

stop giving citizenship to the children of illegal aliens and foreign visitors;
withhold work authorization to those with pending asylum claims;
establish a universal system for checking welfare and work eligibility;
end all public benefits for illegal aliens.

The penalties for violating immigration law must be increased.

We need to:

bar from later immigration those who make frivolous asylum applications and 'no-shows';
make alien smuggling and document fraud into racketeering crimes;
bar reentry to any alien receiving a five-year prison sentence;
withhold funds from localities that refuse to cooperate with efforts to end illegal immigration;
hold sponsors accountable for immigrants they sponsor;
deport immigrants who become public charges.

Existing programs that are particularly effective must be expanded.

We need to:

widen use of pre-inspection programs abroad and frequent-traveler inspection procedures;
extend the Border Patrol canine program and highway checkpoint system;
expand the institutional hearing program and the special U.S. Attorneys program;
increase interior repatriation and deportation hearings of criminal aliens by telephone;
broaden the assets seizure program.

Government agencies must coordinate their efforts better and more extensively.

We need to:

improve coordination between border agencies and between intelligence agencies;
limit judicial review of immigration decisions and expand judicial deportation;
give the National Security Council a role in ending illegal immigration;
combine the immigration service (INS) work form with the IRS work form;
speed notification to INS of jailed aliens, including certified records of conviction.

A greater investment must be made in the personnel who combat illegal immigration.

We need to:

increase personnel in Inspections, Intelligence, Border Patrol, and Detention and Deportation;
reduce temporary employees in INS Inspections and increase the permanent staff;
dedicate investigators to work solely on employment of illegal aliens;
expand on-going training programs for inspectors, intelligence officers, and investigators;
establish systematic performance reviews of immigration judges.

Top-of-the-line equipment must be available to the enforcers of immigration law.

We need to:

provide a facility for INS classified information;
establish equipment plans for INS Intelligence, the Border Patrol, and Investigations;
improve vehicle fleets of the Border Patrol, Investigations, and Detention and Deportation;
create a centralized case database for INS Investigations.

New technology must be harnessed to the battle against illegal immigration.

We need to:

introduce new, up-to-date technology in Inspections, the Border Patrol, and Investigations;
create a secure intelligence database and distribution system;
set up a verification system for welfare and work eligibility.

And my own idea, English should be the official language of the United States.

Clinton, Obama promote gay rights as human rights around the world

2011-12-06T15:45:00.001-06:00

Geneva, Switzerland (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton challenged nations around the world Tuesday to recognize that "gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights," building on an order by President Barack Obama directing all U.S. agencies to "promote and protect" the rights of gay people,

In an impassioned defense of such rights, Clinton called the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people "universal" and criticized nations that criminalize gay behavior or tolerate abuse of gay, bisexual or transgendered people

Clinton made the unusually strong speech as Obama announced a presidential directive to use U.S. foreign aid to promote rights for gays and lesbians abroad, including combating attempts by foreign governments to criminalize homosexuality and making treatment of gays a factor in awarding foreign aid.

The remarks were meant to mark Human Rights Day, which is Saturday. The date commemorates the 1948 signing of the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights.

Speaking to the U.N. Human Rights Council, before an audience that included diplomats from Arab, African and other countries with poor records on gay rights, Clinton said religious beliefs and cultural practices are no excuse for discriminating or tolerating violence against gay people.

As part of the administration's effort, Clinton announced a $3 million fund to support civil society and non-governmental organization activists working on the subject, as well as enhancing protection for refugees and asylum seekers who are being persecuted because of LGBT status.

What is Obama and Clinton's obsession with the radical LGBT activist agenda? And what about funding REAL HUMAN rights abuses? Such as helping or aiding the oppressed women in Muslim nations, such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan, etc.? Or what about Christians being persecuted, driven out or worse, executed in Muslim or communist nations???? What about protecting children and women who are forced into human trafficking? Did you know that There is only one shelter in the U.S. designed specifically to meet the needs of trafficking victims, and it currently only houses a total of seven to nine victims. I may have to dedicate an entire post on this subject. THESE are prime examples of REAL HUMAN RIGHTS abuses, NOT the LGBT agenda or movement.

I agree with Matt Barber's statement of Liberty Counsel:

It is "frankly offensive," that president Obama "feels compelled to export American culture's decline in morality, and export that immorality to other nations that are trying to adhere to traditional principles relative to human sexuality."

He further states that Obama, "is using essentially blackmail and the purse strings" of the nation to force countries to change their moral principles."

The arrogance of Obama and his administration is clearly demonstrated with this whole immoral and political debacle. Last time I have checked, Obama is not supreme potentate of the world, even though he believes himself to be and someone needs to knock him off his narcissist a**!

Herman Cain Suspends Republican Presidential Campaign

2011-12-04T17:06:00.001-06:00

Herman Cain announced Saturday that he is suspending his campaign for president, telling a crowd of supporters in his home state that the allegations of sexual harassment and infidelity had become too big a burden on his family.

His wife Gloria standing by his side in a rare public appearance, Cain decried the sustained accusations as false and declared he is "at peace" with his wife and with himself. But he said the claims have "sidetracked and distracted" from his ability to present a new vision for the country, as well as impacted his ability to raise money.

And he spoke with disdain about the media, the "political elites" and the process of running for president, one he called "a dirty game."

Cain said he takes "responsibility for the mistakes that I've made," but scolded the media for pursuing what he described as "false and unproved allegations" which created a "cloud of doubt" over him and his family.

"That spin hurts," Cain said. "It hurts my wife. It hurts my family. It hurts me."

I sat there watching the announcement and was hoping and saying out loud "don't say it." "Don't say it." Well, he said it and I cannot begin to articulate my sadness of this announce nor could I hide my anger towards the MSM for completely destroying any hope of this man's candidacy for president. They are a brutal and heartless group of people who have no qualms in destroying the lives of innocent people. And yes, I do believe Mr. Cain was innocent of every allegation.

When he spoke the following words, I was a bit comforted. "I am at peace with My God, my wife, my family and myself."

He spoke with such deep sincerity. Yes, I am very disappointed and discouraged. I am NOT a fan of Gingrich or Romney. Arghh....

Cain was the real deal. He was not ashamed of his faith, he was proud of his meager upbringing. He dad was a chauffeur and his mother a housekeeper. This man knew the meaning of the word, "work" and was not afraid of it. He worked hard and got an education and became a very successful businessman.

The MSM laughed and mocked him calling him the "Pizza Man." He was the CEO of God Father's Pizza. A well-earned title. Nothing to be ashamed of.

God bless you, Mr. Cain and your family.

"Teddy Bear," the porcupine, doesn't like to share...

2011-12-01T17:34:00.000-06:00

I know I keep post fun things in between my political stuff.

But someone shared this video with me on Facebook. And I can understand Teddy not wanting to share, I think I make the same sound when someone wants a sip of my snicker's latte or mocha latte. Yeah, Teddy has the teeth to fend of the would-be snatcher, I can just growl menacingly. LOL!!

Jesus' name 'obscene'?

2011-11-29T15:23:00.001-06:00

An international human rights organization for religious freedom fears that Pakistan's new law that censors text messages may hinder the spread of the gospel.

In order to protect young people from hearing what it considers to be "obscene" words, the government of Pakistan is proposing that the use of such language be blocked. But as Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern (ICC) tells OneNewsNow, "Jesus" is included on the list.

"Those names include 'breast' [and] 'homosexuals' and some offensive words that some cultures also don't want used," he reports. "But it is outrageous for them to consider the name of Jesus Christ as offensive."

But considering Pakistan's track record in dealing with Christians and Christianity, Racho is not surprised at the ban.

"In Pakistan, Christians are considered like third-class citizens," he explains. "Pakistani officials don't protect Christians -- and the laws of that country, which are based on sharia, ensure that Christians are subjugated and oppressed."

He uses the country's blasphemy law as an example, as it is often misapplied to put Christians in prison on false charges of committing acts against Islam and its prophet Muhammad. The maximum penalty for breaking this law is death.
Right. So where is their tolerance? Muslims demand it here in the United States, and unfortunately our government, local officials and of course, liberals, acquiesce to their demands. But in their own Sharia Law, ISLAM run countries, ZERO tolerance. So much for the "religion of peace."

Yeah, that makes bloody sense.

UPDATE: Pakistan has rescinded their ban on texting the name of Jesus. Sorry, I got to this so late. But it is fantastic news!

YOUNG PEOPLE RETURNING HOME FROM OCCUPY WALL STREET FIND STRUGGLES, CHALLENGES

2011-11-28T00:00:00.000-06:00

HAT TIP: Republican Party Animals

This is absolutely brilliant!! Hilarious! I am sure, as always, I am going to tick off a few liberals. But this was too funny not pass up.

AP) – Ryan Sulzman walks alone through the woods behind his parents’ home in Binghamton, New York. It’s one of the few things that gives his troubled soul peace these days. “I like hearing the birds sing…and the crickets” he confides. “It takes my mind off the horrors I witnessed. These are…these are things I still find it hard to talk about.”

Like many young people who volunteered to join the nationwide Occupy movement, Ryan has been having a hard time being back in “the world.” “When we were ‘in country,’ we became used to a certain routine. The free meals served in the camp soup kitchen, the free wi-fi, the rhythmic sounds of the drum circles, and the crackheads who’d let you buy food with their EBT cards in exchange for cash for drugs. I’d give them, like, $10 and they’d let me buy $40 in food. It was a sweet deal.”

But it wasn’t long before Ryan, and so many young people of his generation who had volunteered to do their duty, saw the ugly side of human nature. “The day they cleared out our camp, this one cop…he…he yelled at me. ‘Move! Move! Move!’ He had a bullhorn…the sounds still haunt my nightmares. And then…” Ryan’s voice trails off, as tears well up in his eyes, “then he grabbed my Tumi duffle bag and literally, like, pushed it into my arms. I totally could have been knocked over it I wasn’t wearing my Urban Outfitters boots.”

A hero comes home.

Still, Ryan considers himself fortunate. “I had a friend, Eddie…’Lucky Eddie’ the guys in the camp used to call him, because he’d always get lucky with the drunk girls who’d passed out. The day the camp was disbanded, he got…pushed by a cop. I saw him at the triage we set up in the Starbucks across the street. There was a vacancy in his eyes. ‘Lucky Eddie’ was gone – he was an empty shell of a man.”

Ryan, who has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and is currently receiving disability, says that all he wanted when he returned home were a few words of thanks from the people he left behind. “I didn’t ask for a parade; none of us did,” Ryan says, as he attempts to restrain the anger building inside him. “But when I came home, when I walked through the door, and there were my parents who hadn’t seen me for two months, and they gave each other a look, like, ‘oh crap, he’s back.’ They hadn’t even known if I’d been alive or dead the past two months…except, of course, for the text messages I’d send, and the Skype videos. Oh, and they both subscribe to my Youtube channel. And, of course, there were the money transfers I had them make so I could upgrade my iPhone. But other than that, I could have been dead for all they knew.”

Ryan isn’t alone in his restrained bitterness. Across the nation, returning OWS vets are finding readjustment difficult – owing in large part to what they see as an indifference on the part of their loved ones to their ordeal. One such disillusioned OWS vet, a 25-year-old who would only give his name as Nick when the we interviewed him in front of the Krazy Kures medicinal pot clinic in Culver City, related his difficult tale. “My mom erased every single program I had Tivo’d. EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM. Sure, I can catch up with “Dexter” on Video on Demand, but those episodes of “Conan” are GONE. I’ll NEVER be able to see them again.”

For 31-year old OWS vet Jacob Berman, the wounds run especially deep. “My parents didn’t dust my Star Wars collectibles, not even once. Do you know what two months of dust build-up can do to a Limited-Edition Deluxe 30th-Anniversary 12” Boba Fett in the Great Pit of Carkoon Collectible Action Figure? I don’t even know if I can list it as mint on Ebay anymore.”

“Ebay…I don’t think I can ever go to that site again without getting flashbacks,” says 23-year-old Occupy Portland vet Caleb Henner. “It brings back all of the feelings of being alone, afraid, isolated out there at the front.” At first, Caleb was reluctant to tell his story. But at the urging of his psychologist, he agreed to give us a first-hand account of his harrowing ordeal.

“It was a cold night…I thought it might rain, so I was inside my REI tent bundled up in my Cole Haan waxed cotton parka. We were all on edge…there were reports that there might be an overnight ambush by city workers coming in to clean the public fountain we were using as a communal toilet, so we were all pretty tense. I was trying to keep my mind off things by browsing Ebay on my iPad, and I found this SWEET Game of Thrones one-sheet signed by Peter Dinklage! It was only $450, but I knew that would change if I didn’t use the “buy it now” option. So I tried…I tried to buy it…and…my mother’s credit card was declined. It had been pushed beyond its credit limit. It was like being in a nightmare. I kept screaming, NO! NO! I called my folks…it was 2am, and I got their answering machine…I was like, ‘COME IN, COME IN, THIS IS CALEB, DO YOU HEAR ME? OVER! COME IN! PLEASE GOD, I NEED HELP! PICK UP, PICK UP!’ But they didn’t. They were probably fast asleep. I never felt more alone in my life. And the Game of Thrones one-sheet…it…it sold to someone else within the hour…”

Caleb’s words trail off, as he’s comforted by his lawyer, who has initiated a lawsuit against Caleb’s parents for the Peter Dinklage atrocity. “This isn’t how these boys should be treated,” says Sheldon Gerbinsky, whose law firm is representing several OWS vets. “We’ve gotten reports of parents cynically using their children’s time at Occupy encampments to clean their rooms and basements – making beds, folding linens, ironing and hanging up shirts so that they lose all of their hipster cred. We even have one report of parents in Atlanta who removed their son’s three-year-old collection of smashed beer bottles while he was away at Occupy Atlanta.”

The Obama Administration has promised swift and immediate action to help OWS vets readjust to society, pledging everything from free psychological counseling to DVD box-sets of missed TV shows. At a press conference held on Monday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney had this to say: “The president is committed to doing all he can to help those brave Americans. No expense will be spared. The president told me the other day that he was especially moved to action by the story of one young person from Occupy Denver whose parents actually threw out a mint-condition Gundam Force trading card. They thought it was ‘trash.’ What kind of country do we live in where so-called ‘parents’ don’t know the difference between a piece of trash and a valuable anime collectible? I agree with the First Lady when she told a gathering of OWS vets yesterday that she’s gone back to not being proud of her country. Until we begin taking seriously the sacrifices of the OWS heroes, we don’t deserve pride.”

Panetta to Israel: Don’t Touch Iran

2011-11-22T14:11:00.001-06:00

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has given Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak a clear warning: don’t attack Iran.

Panetta pointed to a U.S. analysis that a strike on Iran would set back its nuclear program, which Iran says is only for peaceful purposes, by one or two years at most. It would also have implications for U.S. forces in the region.

He added that “thirdly, there are going to be economic consequences to that, that could impact not just on our economy but the world economy.”

What to do, then, if a military strike would be both pointless and harmful?

“The United States feels strongly,” Panetta says, “that the way to deal with [the problem] is to work with our allies, to work with the international community to develop the sanctions and the diplomatic efforts that would further isolate Iran.”

Barak, for his part, doesn’t seem reassured by that. He said it would “probably” take no more than “three-quarters” of a year before no one can do anything practically about [Iran’s nukes] because the Iranians are gradually, deliberately entering into what I call a zone of immunity, by widening the redundancy of their plan, making it spread over many more sites with many more hidden elements.

Barak also warned that “a nuclear Iran would have deep repercussions for the Middle East, prompting countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt to ‘turn nuclear’ and starting a countdown to putting nuclear materials in the hands of terrorists.”

Is this guy for real? So, what Israel has to sit there twiddling their thumbs as Iran continues to be build nuclear weapons. Would Panetta be as arbitrary if Iran was our next door neighbor?

Can Obama and his administration be that naive? Iran is NOT a peaceful nation and they CANNOT be trusted under any circumstance. Israel has the right to protect itself at all costs and I support them. They are totally and completely surrounded by nations that want to see them eradicated. They have every right to be concerned.

And as for the treacherous U.S. government, they shouldn't trust them either. Obama has shown nothing but contempt for our beloved allies and for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

I stand with Israel. And may God have mercy on them.

Massachusetts passes bill making transgenderism/crossdressing a protected class

2011-11-20T17:29:00.001-06:00

BOSTON, November 17, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Massachusetts legislature has passed a bill that elevates cross-dressing or transgendered individuals to a protected class, and grants universal access to sex-segregated areas such as bathrooms based on personal “gender identity or expression.”

The measure, known as the “Transgender Equal Rights Bill” (H. 502 in the House and S. 764 in the Senate) passed the upper chamber on Wednesday in a voice vote. It’s unclear when the bill will receive final approval votes and be signed into law by Democrat Gov. Deval Patrick, a strong gay rights supporter.

The bill inserts “gender identity” as a protected class under the state’s hate crime law, and also makes it so that a school or other business would be violating the law if it rejected an applicant because he or she was a crossdresser.
The measure also decrees that the right to “gender identity and expression” is a “civil right.” A provision stating that all “sex-segregated facilities ... shall grant persons admission to and the full enjoyment of such facilities ... consistent with their gender identity or expression” was removed from the measure at the last minute.

Those who violate the non-discrimination rules face up to a $2,500 fine and a year in prison.

For most of us this isn't shocking or surprising, coming from liberal Massachusetts.

However, I am very concerned and quite literally disgusted that a law is forcing people who value and uphold traditional values to accept this vile lifestyle or wind up paying a fine or going to jail. Really? Is this what America has become? To uphold and value immoral lifestyles and stomping on the values of others? Really?

And let's look at something else that is frightening, what will stop a rapist or even a pedophile from dressing up as a woman and entering a woman's bathroom, locker room, sauna, or a place that is strictly for women and assaulting any female present? Who is going to protect them or rather us, since I fall into that particular category. Shouldn't we have a right to say, "HELL NO!" to this despicable invasion of privacy? Who's protecting our "civil rights?"

Do we honestly want this kind of person around your children, or your spouse? Who is protecting their rights?

Nuff said.

A Professor’s Hatred for Our ‘Killer’ Troops

2011-11-16T22:05:00.001-06:00

The disclaimer “we support our troops” has practically become obligatory for proclamations of opposition to U.S. wars. But a Boston law professor felt compelled to declare to students and colleagues that he supports neither the wars nor the troops fighting them.

Michael Avery, a professor of law at Suffolk University Law School, responded to an online solicitation for support for care packages for overseas servicemen by labeling them killers undeserving of sympathy.

“I think it is shameful that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an academic institution for support for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings,” Avery professed in an email sent on the eve of the Marine Corps’ birthday and two days before Veterans Day. “I understand that there is a residual sympathy for service members, perhaps engendered by support for troops in World War II, or perhaps from when there was a draft and people with few resources to resist were involuntarily sent to battle. That sympathy is not particularly rational in today’s world, however.”

I find it so appalling that there are idiots like this egotistical bum who spews out hate towards the very people that have died and have put their lives on the line so he could enjoy the freedom that he has.

It's people like him who are tearing down the very fabric of our nation. I would have hoped that imbeciles like this man would come to understand that without war and the military we would not be the nation we are today. War is harsh, cruel and horrible, but sometimes it is a necessity.

Would he have preferred to see Stalin, Hitler or even Castro as our leaders? For someone who is supposed to be an intellectual, he is a moron. I suppose he wants to be oppressed, he would love to see every freedom he has enjoyed wiped out, where is the logic in that? I will never understand why liberals would want to embrace tyranny, rather than freedom.

What a disgrace.

I am thankful for our American and allied troops, without them I would not have the freedom to post here or on Facebook. I would not be enjoying the music I love, reading my bible, praising Jesus in a public setting, being a member of the Tea Party movement, etc.

Nuff said.

PolitiChicks vs The View

2011-11-15T20:46:00.001-06:00

Finally, Conservative Americans will have an alternative to those other liberal-based talk shows in which women scream over each other and call Conservatives vile names.

The PolitiChicks are former Saturday Night Live alumni and Tea Party favorite Victoria Jackson, pro-life speaker and activist Jennique Stewart, editor and activist Jennie Jones and Ann-Marie Murrell, columnist and host of The Patriot Update video show.

Some of the topics covered in their first episodes will be illegal immigration, gay marriage, abortion and the Occupy movement. Each of the women have their own strong points of view on each of the subjects and aren’t afraid to speak up–or sing up, as Victoria Jackson tends to do throughout the episodes. In the first episode of PolitiChicks, the ladies discuss gay marriage, Islam and the intolerance of the left toward anyone who disagrees with them.

I am quite happy with this new talk show. And I also noticed that these awesome conservative women respond to the comments posted on their website. Someone basically said they could do without the singing from Victoria, and she responded!

I will definitely tune in.

Here is a the first episode. Love it!!

What are your thoughts? And for the record, I absolutely adore Victoria Jackson, she's adorable.

Frank Miller speaks out against OWS protesters.

2011-11-13T17:06:00.001-06:00

The legendary comic book writer behind ”300,“ ”Batman: The Dark Knight Returns,“ and ”Sin City“ would likely not call the ”Occupy” protesters in Zuccotti Park and across the country heroes. In a post on his blog last week entitled “Anarchy,“ Frank Miller railed against the ”Occupy“ movement and the protesters he calls ”louts, thieves and rapists.” After beginning the post with “Everybody’s been too damn polite about this nonsense,” Miller went on to write:

“The ‘Occupy’ movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. ‘Occupy’ is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.

‘Occupy’ is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the ‘movement’ – HAH! Some ‘movement’, except if the word ‘bowel’ is attached – is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves.”

Miller goes further to acknowledge that “America is at war against a ruthless enemy,“ in reference to ”al-Qaeda and Islamicism,“ and ”In the name of decency, go home to your parents, you losers. Go back to your mommas’ basements and play with your Lords Of Warcraft.”
My sentiments exactly. People are getting fed up.

These miscreants have done nothing productive or anything to help their "cause" what they have done is destroy private and public property, rapes have occurred, people have died, and they have caused businesses to close their doors indefinitely. Utah has the right idea, get a bulldozer and move them all out. Story here if you are interested.

I say good riddance to bad, nasty, smelly, rubbish.

Massachusetts School District Marks Muslim Holiday

2011-11-08T12:45:00.000-06:00

FOX News:

Some Massachusetts public school students have a day off this week, but it has nothing to do with power outages or snow.

The Cambridge school system is believed to be the first in Massachusetts to give all students a day off for a Muslim holiday.

Students are getting Tuesday off for Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, the Boston Globe reports.

"We’re ecstatic about this," Atif Harden, interim executive director of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, told the newspaper. "This is the first year that it’s going to occur. This sort of recognition of our existence and the population we have, we feel very good about."

The day off was approved by the school committee last year because of the district's sizable Muslim population.

Superintendent Jeffrey Young told the newspaper that honoring the holiday is in line with the district's values of "inclusion and respect."

School committee member Marc McGovern says he got some criticism and even threats when he approved of the holiday.

Muslims need to have recognition of their existence???

I believe the whole entire world are fully aware of Muslim existence. Their very presence seems to permeate all walks of life on planet earth. I don't think there is a person anywhere who isn't aware of their "existence." That's a bunch of bologna.

This is still a Christian nation, and regardless of Obama's ridiculous rhetoric of denying that fact is, moot.

So why is there a Muslim holiday being celebrated and forced upon all students? When students aren't even allowed to say, "Merry Christmas" without being hauled off to the principal's office for disciplinary action? Or saying a prayer over their lunches. Or for that matter, carrying the Holy Bible, which I found out, cannot be found in some school libraries.

So what if there is a huge Muslim population in Cambridge, that doesn't mean that US public schools should feel obligated to celebrate their Muslim holidays.

Once again, people fall back and allow Muslims to have the upper-hand.

Above is a what the OWS protesters are like, rude, hateful, inconsiderate and notice how they hide their faces. Okay? If they are so proud why the cover up? Huh?

Any questions?

Girl Scouts open to everyone -- even boys

2011-11-02T16:59:00.001-05:00

With the Girl Scouts recently caving to the wishes of a seven-year-old boy and his mother by allowing him to join a local troop of girls, a spokesperson for a Christian women's organization is questioning the role of the child's parents.

Initial reports revealed that Bobby Montoya could not join the girls' group. The local troop leader told Montoya's mother, Felisha Archuleta, that he could not join, regardless of how he feels, because he has "boy parts." But apparently that worker was not familiar with the group's policy, as the Girl Scouts have been working to support transgender children and their families. So Rachelle Trujillo of the Girl Scouts of Colorado decided that if a boy wants to live as a girl with his parents 'approval, they would welcome him.

This is a seven-year-old boy, so my question is, where on earth did he get the idea that he is a girl? At this young age, children are completely innocent and clueless regarding their sexuality let alone claiming to be transgendered.

This reeks of his mother's or parents disgusting and perverse influence. I also have a concern if maybe this child might be being abused in a more intimate manner. Could be it be possible that he is being molested or asked to dress as a little girl to pleasure an adult? Just a thought.

As far as the Girl Scouts are concerned,in my opinion, they have become a debacle of political correctness gone awry. AND, as much as I love their cookies, I will no longer give my money to an organization that exploits children in any manner or form.

The Bridge of Death a Great Monty Python moment

2011-11-01T11:21:00.000-05:00

Yeah, yeah, I begged off today on politics. I absolutely love this movie, I cannot help but laugh. I adore British humor.

I hope you all enjoy watching this and laugh with me.

Happy Halloween! An addition to this post

2011-10-31T16:13:00.000-05:00

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween! And to any Democrats reading, this is just a joke. Okay?

A group of kids came to my door and I started handing out candy. Well, I put in a Heath bar and began to put an Almond Joy when all of a sudden the boy I was giving candy said, "What is that?" I told him it was an Almond Joy, and with I got the cutest response, "THAT'S NASTY!!" I started to laugh and gave him some milk duds instead and he was quite pleased with that choice and went on his merry way.

Kids really do say the darnedest things and are not afraid to express themselves, gotta love em.

Do Crosses at Catholic University Violate “Human Rights” of Muslims?

2011-10-28T14:16:00.002-05:00

The Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights confirmed that it is investigating allegations that Catholic University violated the human rights of Muslim students by not allowing them to form a Muslim student group and by not providing them rooms without Christian symbols for their daily prayers.

The investigation alleges that Muslim students “must perform their prayers surrounded by symbols of Catholicism – e.g., a wooden crucifix, paintings of Jesus, pictures of priests and theologians which many Muslim students find inappropriate.”

The complaint was filed by John Banzhaf, an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School. Banzhaf has been involved in previous litigation against the school involving the same-sex residence halls. He also alleged in his complaint involving Muslim students that women at the university were being discriminated against. You can read more on those allegations by clicking here.

Banzhaf said some Muslim students were particularly offended because they had to meditate in the school’s chapels “and at the cathedral that looms over the entire campus – the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.”

"It shouldn't be too difficult somewhere on the campus for the university to set aside a small room where Muslims can pray without having to stare up and be looked down upon by a cross of Jesus,”

And so another fine example of Muslims bullying their way where they don't belong. Did they not realize that they were going to be attending a CATHOLIC University when they enrolled? Can they not read? Did they truly expect this Catholic institution to bow down to their Muslim demands? This was intentional, make no mistake.

This is ridiculous. It would be as if someone walked into a bar and was offended because alcohol was being served and filed a complaint to management.

I could spout out some more analogies but I believe I made my point.

When are people going to wake up?

Public School Dist. To Pay Muslim Teacher Over Mecca Trip

2011-10-27T00:00:00.000-05:00

A public school district in the U.S. must pay a Muslim teacher tens of thousands of dollars and establish a religious accommodation training program for refusing to let the instructor take three weeks off to make a pilgrimage to Mecca.

The settlement marks the conclusion of the first lawsuit filed by Obama’s Department of Justice (DOJ) as part of a pilot program designed to ensure “vigorous enforcement” of civil rights in the workplace. “Employees should not have to choose between practicing their religion and their jobs,” said Thomas Perez, the open borders advocate Obama appointed as Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

The math teacher (Safoorah Khan) sued the Berkeley Illinois district when her middle school denied the leave request because she was the only math lab instructor and her absence would come at a crucial time right before exams. To further back its case, the district pointed out that the union contract did not allow that sort of leave for any teacher.

So Khan, who had worked at McArthur Middle School for barely a year, resigned and sued the district for religious discrimination. The DOJ’s bloated civil rights division quickly moved to help her. In a December lawsuit, the DOJ accuses the Berkeley School District of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by failing to reasonably accommodate Khan’s religious practices. By denying Khan a “religious accommodation”, the district compelled Khan to choose between her job and her religious beliefs, the DOJ claimed.

Feeling the wrath of the powerful and much wealthier federal government, the district agreed this month to pay Khan $75,000 for lost back pay, compensatory damages and attorney’s fees. It also caved into the DOJ’s demand of creating a new “religious accommodation policy” to “reasonably accommodate the religious beliefs, practices and/or observances of all employees and prospective employees.”

Read the rest of the story here:

Now, let's see if this were a Christian or Jewish teacher making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, would they get the same results as this Muslim teacher? I doubt it.

As I have often stated in numerous posts, it is about accommodating Muslims and acquiescing to their ridiculous demands. This woman has not had time to accumulate vacation time. Most companies expect you to work full-time and to be in employment for a full year before earning vacation or paid leave, right?

And furthermore, most people put in for vacation time, you cannot just take vacation when you feel like it. That's just normal policy. My husband's job requires at least 3 months in advance to schedule vacation time. The only exceptions are a death in the family or sickness. The employer must have ample to find a temporary replacement to cover the shift and position of the person taking vacation. When the school denied her vacation it was for a legitimate reason, THEY COULDN'T FIND A REPLACEMENT.

This is an injustice to everyone else who follows office protocol. Muslims do NOT have the right to change corporate policy to suit their needs and then sue if they do not get what they want.

Nuff said.

Obama Administration Bans the Truth About Islam and Jihad

2011-10-24T17:38:00.001-05:00

From Front Page Mag: It has been a long time coming, but the Obama Administration has now officially banned the truth. Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole declared Wednesday at a conference in Washington that he had “recently directed all components of the Department of Justice to re-evaluate their training efforts in a range of areas, from community outreach to national security.” This “reevaluation” will remove all references to Islam in connection with any examination of Islamic jihad terror activity. The Obama Administration has now placed off-limits any investigation of the beliefs, motives and goals of jihad terrorists.

Dwight C. Holton, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, emphasizedthat training materials for the FBI would be purged of everything politically incorrect: “I want to be perfectly clear about this: training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for. They will not be tolerated.”

Holton said that he had spoken with Attorney General Eric Holder about FBI training materials that Holton claimed were “egregiously false,” and that Holder “is firmly committed to making sure that this is over….we’re going to fix it.” Holton said that this “fix” was particularly urgent because the rejected training materials “pose a significant threat to national security, because they play into the false narrative propagated by terrorists that the United States is at war with Islam.”

Well, there you have it folks the great and almighty Obama administration has spoken and therefore we must comply. I think not!

What kind of message is this sending Islamic terrorists? Did they just give them permission to enter our country unchecked and unchallenged? Make no mistake people, the United States and any nation or culture that stands against radical Islam is at war with them.

I seriously wonder what compels this administration to want to protect terrorists who are bound and determined to kill, maim and destroy anyone who stands in their way?

What happened to protecting Americans?

Blog Tour Along Wooded Paths

2011-10-19T00:00:00.000-05:00

Thank you LitFuse for my copy of this book to review.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Book 2 of the Big Sky series.....All she wanted was a simple Amish life . . . But now Marianna Sommer finds herself depending on Englisch neighbors. Although proud of living apart from the world, she and her newly relocated Amish family have discovered that life in the remote mountains of Montana requires working together.

As Marianna begins helping those different from herself—and receiving their help—her heart contemplates two directions. She’s torn between the Amish man from Indiana whom she has long planned on marrying and the friendly Englischer who models a closer walk with God than she’s ever seen before.

Who should have young Marianna’s heart? What is God asking her to sacrifice? Her traditions? Her community? The answer is found along the wooded paths.

MY REVIEW: I have to be honest and say I absolutely LOVE Amish novels, they give you a wonderful glimpse of how the Amish live on a daily basis. I have always been fascinated with them because they choose to live separate from the "Englisch." And seem to thrive without all the modern day conveniences that we take for granted. Sometimes I believe that we are the ones missing out on life.

However, I digress. As with most Amish novels, you have basically the same story line but the characters have different names, at times. This book isn't like most, you are immediately drawn into Marrianna's life and how she struggles with life's daily grind and you realize that the Amish struggle with the same feelings and emotions that non-Amish experience. She is torn between two men and no matter whom she chooses someone is going to get hurt. It's a touching novel of self-discovery, strength and courage. You will fall in love with Amish, I know I did.

Nothing racist about the tea party'

2011-10-17T15:16:00.002-05:00

OneNewsNOW

A black conservative activist has taken the tea party into the heart of South Central Los Angeles to educate residents about political nominees during the campaign season.

The South Central L.A. Tea Party was founded this summer by Jesse Lee Peterson, the founder and president of BOND Action, a brother organization to the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny (BOND) that works to motivate and rally Americans to greater involvement in the moral, cultural, and political issues that threaten the country. He says it is important to dispel the notion that the tea party movement is made up of nothing but white racists.

"There's nothing racist about the tea party movement at all," he assures. "I've spoken at several tea party rallies around the country. And now that I've started South Central L.A. Tea Party, we have blacks and Hispanics and old and young and white -- everybody's in the party. And the more that they learn about what we're about, the more people are joining."
He explains that the group is about taking the truth into the community.

"It gives us the opportunity to educate the people about the folks that they've been voting in, year in and year out. [Democratic Congresswoman] Maxine Waters is one of the persons in that district," Peterson notes. "And so it's very, very important in that area, because a lot of the folks have not been educated as to what the country's about and why it's so wrong to have government involved in your life."

And Peterson says the South Central L.A. Tea Party will work extra hard to educate area residents during the 2012 political campaigns.

READ this and you will understand what the Tea Party represents:

Tea Party Patriots Mission Statement and Core Values

Mission Statement

The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.

Core Values

Fiscal Responsibility
Constitutionally Limited Government
Free Markets

Fiscal Responsibility: Fiscal Responsibility by government honors and respects the freedom of the individual to spend the money that is the fruit of their own labor. A constitutionally limited government, designed to protect the blessings of liberty, must be fiscally responsible or it must subject its citizenry to high levels of taxation that unjustly restrict the liberty our Constitution was designed to protect. Such runaway deficit spending as we now see in Washington D.C. compels us to take action as the increasing national debt is a grave threat to our national sovereignty and the personal and economic liberty of future generations.

Constitutionally Limited Government: We, the members of The Tea Party Patriots, are inspired by our founding documents and regard the Constitution of the United States to be the supreme law of the land. We believe that it is possible to know the original intent of the government our founders set forth, and stand in support of that intent. Like the founders, we support states' rights for those powers not expressly stated in the Constitution. As the government is of the people, by the people and for the people, in all other matters we support the personal liberty of the individual, within the rule of law.

Free Markets: A free market is the economic consequence of personal liberty. The founders believed that personal and economic freedom were indivisible, as do we. Our current government's interference distorts the free market and inhibits the pursuit of individual and economic liberty. Therefore, we support a return to the free market principles on which this nation was founded and oppose government intervention into the operations of private business.

Our Philosophy

Tea Party Patriots, Inc. as an organization believes in the Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets. Tea Party Patriots, Inc. is a non-partisan grassroots organization of individuals united by our core values derived from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America, the Bill Of Rights as explained in the Federalist Papers. We recognize and support the strength of grassroots organization powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level. We hold that the United States is a republic conceived by its architects as a nation whose people were granted "unalienable rights" by our Creator. Chiefly among these are the rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Tea Party Patriots stand with our founders, as heirs to the republic, to claim our rights and duties which preserve their legacy and our own. We hold, as did the founders, that there exists an inherent benefit to our country when private property and prosperity are secured by natural law and the rights of the individual. As an organization we do not take stances on social issues. We urge members to engage fully on the social issues they consider important and aligned with their beliefs.

Any questions? I am sure I will get plenty of comments.

One last thing, I went to a Tea Party rally this past Saturday that was co-sponsored by AFP (Americans for Prosperity) and this is what happened to me, I posted this on my Facebook wall......

Had a lot of fun! And guess what? AFP wants my political blog address to help me join other fellow conservative bloggers! AND get this... they give scholarships to these bloggers to go to Washington, DC!! That would be a dream come true for me.

And we had our first disgruntled, loud-mouth wannabe OWS (Occupied Wall Street) people present, and, of course, they were rude and continually interrupting our speakers. Finally, one of our older fellow patriots told the loud heckler to "let her talk" and Teresa (speaker) said it was fine and it was all right. She was very tolerant along with the other speaker.

Finally, got a little fed up and told the guy he was wrong, said it twice, but my best-friend and new Tea Party recruit, tapped me gently on the shoulder and asked me not to do that, hee....Okay, I behaved myself. LOL!

You know what I found rather comical was you could spot these guys out of the crowd just by the way they dressed and were groomed. They looked like unbathed hippies, totally stood out, which probably was part of their agenda. While the rest of us were dressed neatly and were respectful and polite to each other, and let me add, we left that parking lot just the way we found it, CLEAN!

NBC Celebrates 'End of Traditional Marriage

2011-10-15T00:00:00.000-05:00

NBC Correspondent Jenna Wolfe gushed: "A new report says more women are choosing to be single and loving every minute of it."

Translation: Men are not needed for a modern, educated woman to be happy and fulfilled. Get rid of the useless deadbeats.

Denigration of men was sprinkled throughout the segment. Wolfe quoted "author and single woman" Kate Bolick: "A major factor [in the rise of single women] is the rise of women in the workplace. As women have climbed ever higher, men have been falling behind. So instead of marrying down, women choose to be single and successful."

Translation: Chances are any guy you meet isn't as professionally successful as you. Why bother with the loser long-term?

NBC brought Bolick onto the show, where she argued: "Today marriage is an option, it's not a necessity, the way it once was."

"Today" approvingly quoted Bolick: "It's time to embrace new ideas about romance and family - and to acknowledge the end of 'traditional' marriage as society's highest ideal."

It's the brave new feminist world, where marriage is a matter of convenience, and men are irrelevant. Wolfe noted the decrease in the percentage of married men and women in society: "Research shows that marriage is declining in the United States: According to the Census Bureau in 2010, 50 percent of the adult population was single, compared to 33 percent of the adult population back in 1950."

And there you have it folks, feminist views at its finest. And since they seem to be repelled by marriage, they are promoting promiscuity. How wonderfully progressive of them. Makes me wonder how they are going to feel years after they are retired and have a nice empty house, but no one to share it with, no children to visit, nothing. Was it worth it?

This kind of liberal and progressive thinking is one of the main reasons that this nation is in turmoil. Society has become flippant in its attitude towards traditional marriage, and quite frankly, seem to hate men or rather despise them and marriage altogether.

And since they have such a low opinion of men who do not have high paying jobs as themselves, do they also look down upon their own sex and ridicule those women who have chosen to stay home and care for their families, or are happy just working part-time?

Since when did staying home and raising and caring for your family become a faux pas?

I truly despise the feminist movement and hate how they ridicule men.

Obama Huffing and Puffing Can't Breath Life Into Jobs Bill

2011-10-13T00:00:00.000-05:00

President Obama has spent countless millions in taxpayer money over the past six weeks, criss-crossing the country to beat the drum for his "Jobs Bill"--demanding that it be passed now!

Finally, the first vote on it was taken in the Democrat-dominated Senate last evening--handing Obama his first defeat.

According to a New York Post article, the official vote was 50-49, short of the 60 votes needed to surmount a filibuster.

However, as Republicans hold just 47 seats, and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) absent, due to treatment for Prostate Cancer, it is clear that 3 Democrats voted against the bill as well.

Now that's bipartisan.

Not surprisingly, President Obama is blaming the Senate minority Republicans for the defeat, and trotted out his standard fire and brimstone response with great hubris:

And what do I have to say about? Man up and take it like a man and enough with the temper tantrums!

This bill, like Obama's presidency, is a big, huge, FLOP! And I am glad to see that his own party are not supporting his ridiculous bill.

He wants to cause a class warfare among the people and that's not going to fly with many Americans. I, for one, am truly grateful for the wealthy and successful business owners who are providing jobs. It's because of them that most of us have employment and NOT relying on government hand-outs, as Obama wishes.

We need to keep these businesses in operation and not tax them to death where they are forced to lay-off or fire their employees. Moron.

Zombie Church Blog

2011-10-12T08:59:00.000-05:00

Thank you Litfuse for providing me a copy of this book.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

A creative, entertaining approach to resurrecting the undead church.

There is something missing in the church today. Stuck in a rut of routines and rituals, the church is caught up in doing what it is “supposed to do” but is lacking the true essence of what it is supposed to provide: life. Real faith--and a real relationship with Jesus--is not about playing by the rules, attending services, and praying before meals. Real faith is more than religion.

Believing there is a way to breathe life back into the church, Tyler Edwards adopts a contemporary and entertaining metaphor--zombies--to highlight and challenge the problematic attitude of today’s believers.

Written for the discouraged, disenfranchised, and anyone unsatisfied with their same-old church routine, Zombie Church challenges readers to turn away from hollow religious practices, which characterize “zombie Christianity,” and turn toward a radical relationship with Jesus.

While other books have addressed legalism in the church, this is the only book that effectively capitalizes on a popular entertainment genre in order to diagnose and correct the problem. Realizing that even his own church is part of that problem, Edwards has written an accessible and often humorous book that will help believers change the Spirit-draining (or life-draining) habits that stop them from achieving a full, fulfilling life in Christ. Order a copy here.

MY REVIEW: Typically, I normally don't like these kind of books. But this one kept my attention, there were few things that I disagreed upon, but other than that, he made some very valid points.

Church isn't supposed to be boring, rigid or legalistic. It's about worshiping God and our Savior with joy and thanksgiving. And welcoming the Holy Ghost.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Tyler Edwards is the lead pastor at Cornerstone Christian Church in Joplin, Missouri, where he works to help people learn how to live like Jesus, love like Jesus, and look like Jesus—so they carry out the mission of Jesus to the world. He graduated from Ozark Christian College with bachelor’s degrees in both Biblical Literature and Christian Ministry. He has written articles for Lookout Magazine, spoken at various campus ministry events in Missouri, and served overseas in Mbale, Uganda.

Tyler loves cheesy horror films. He is particularly fond of movies like Dawn of the Dead, The Signal, and 28 Days Later, where zombies run wild and threaten to infect an entire town. Connect with Tyler on Facebook

I absolutely LOVE this song....an oldie but a goodie, I hope you enjoy it!

Yeah, I know I didn't post about politics, but I have a book blog coming up this Wednesday called, "Zombie Church." Then after that back to politics.

Lyrics to: The Very Thought of You

The very thought of you

And I forget to do

Those little ordinary things

That everyone ought to do

I'm livin' in a kind of daydream

I'm happy as a queen

And foolish though it may seem

To me, that's everything

The mere idea of you

The longing here for you

You'll never know

How slow the moments go

Till I'm near to you

I see your face in every flower

Your eyes in stars above

It's just the thought of you

The very thought of you, my love

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Obama Praises Wall Street Protesters, Calls TEA Party Extreme

2011-10-07T09:44:00.002-05:00

Los Angeles Times: Obama: ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Protests Show Americans’ Frustration

President Obama said Thursday that the Occupy Wall Street protests show a “broad-based frustration” among Americans about how the U.S. financial system works.

Speaking at an East Room news conference, Obama said he has monitored the movement, which has spread to dozens of cities nationwide.

“I think it expresses the frustrations the American people feel, that we had the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, huge collateral damage all throughout the country … and yet you’re still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on the abusive practices that got us into this in the first place,” he said.

So, more than 750 people being arrested in a dozen cities nationwide is just fine with President Obama, because their movement “expresses the frustrations” felt by the American people due to the financial crisis. When it comes to the Tea Party, however, with one arrest out of millions of Americans who have gathered at hundreds of events, the president dismisses the movement as “extreme”, motivated by race, and bent on espousing views which are rejected by “a vast majority of Americans.”

Obama, as usual, is extremely out of touch with reality. Darn right we are frustrated, but instead of telling these people to get their lazy arses back to work, he supports them. AND then he is has the audacity to criticize and ridicule the Tea Party, who from my point of view all have jobs, regardless of of where or how much they are being paid. Because we are RESPONSIBLE Americans. Honestly, since when did Patriotism became a threat and extreme?

Is Hussein looking for a civil war? Is he wanting division between classes and race? Does he want to dismantle everything our forefathers built? Yeah, I am convinced he does. He hates this nation, he hates Christianity and he hates that the majority of us do not want government interference.

For the record Tea Party Patriots never receive payment for being at any of the functions, EVER. We are proud Americans who are the true grassroots activists.

Furthermore, when a TPP is approached at one of our functions as to why we are there, we readily have an answer. We don't fumble our words, we don't get agitated, angry, confrontational, physically abusive, hateful and spew out vulgarities because we are unable to come up with a coherent and intellectual response.

Nuff said, for now. I have a funny picture I am going to share this weekend and I am anxious to get your reactions.

Mr. Obama is right ... America is soft

2011-10-05T16:28:00.000-05:00

BELOW: Are Pastor Youssef's own words. If you ever get the chance tune into his broadcasts, he's awesome.......

When Americans elect a president without doing the hard work of examining his background, beliefs, or ideologies:

America is soft

When Americans elect someone who has no respect for human life and who considers the issue of abortion “above [his] pay grade”:

America is soft

When Americans elect a president who tells them in black and white that he will radically transform America, but they never ask what direction the transformation will take:

America is soft

When Americans elect a president who for 20 years sat under the preaching of an anti-American pastor and thinks that none of that will rub off on him:

America is soft

When Americans vote for a president who, when he held elected office, voted “present” time and time again, determining not to take a stand on so many issues lest he offend one of the special interest groups:

America is soft

When Americans elect a president who has friends with checkered histories, to say the least:

America is soft

When Americans elect a president whose wife, the recipient of so many of America’s blessings, declared that she was ashamed of America:

America is soft

As an American who was born in Africa, I am deeply grateful to be in America. I thank God continuously for allowing me to be in this great and blessed land. This is a land and a republic for which many faithful men and women have bled and died to secure the liberty and blessing that I now enjoy.

Far from being soft, I paid for my own education, and I paid for my children’s educations. I taught them to love and respect the Founding Fathers and the founding principles of this great nation.

Far from being soft, I respect the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the biblical foundation on which this country was built.

Hard work, personal responsibility, love for God, not envying those who are more blessed than I am – these are the strong building blocks of America’s foundation.

Maybe Obama’s “America is soft” comment will wake Americans up to their sterling heritage and solid foundation so that next time around they will elect government officials and leaders who share their respect for that blessed heritage.

He is absolutely spot-on! You cannot argue his logic. We don't need a government that wants to control every aspect of our lives do we? Who on earth would want that,right? Right?

Good grief!!

So precious

2011-10-02T21:23:00.003-05:00

Got a call tonight to go to the hospital, my precious and dearest friend, Frances, is dying. The cancer has completely destroyed her liver and her brain. She is on a breathing apparatus, but there is no hope, she has hours or days left. They are keeping her heavily sedated.

I am asking for prayers for her to be at peace and no pain and for her family, especially her husband and daughter. I just held them and cried with them. What else could I do?

I held Frances' hand and kept on talking with her, and when I gave her a last kiss goodnight on her forehead she opened her eyes for a few seconds, it was so beautiful. I was able to tell her how much I loved her.

She is being sent home to live her last hours or days.

I am losing one of my dearest friends, and my heart is so broken and torn. I love my friend so much and this is so difficult for me.

Thank you for your prayers at this time for the family and friends who adore and love her.

UPDATE:

My precious friend went home to be with the Lord this morning at 5:30. I got the call at 6:30 and rushed back to the hospital to see my beautiful friend for the last time.

God is my strength. I am grateful to Him, that she is no longer in any pain.

So, this morning her daughter reminded us that we should, "let her go and rejoice that she is no longer suffering."

Those were Frances' wishes.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston Thinks Hurricanes Should Be Given Black Names.

2011-10-01T11:18:00.001-05:00

My sister's friend posted this tid-bit on Facebook and then I ran across it on the web and saw that Malcontent had posted it on Sept. 16, 2011.

So, I thought I would share this as well. Okay, there is some bad language, but I am sure you will see the necessity of it.

And btw, I still can't stop laughing.

Here it is.........................

Just when you think you have heard all of the stupid things that are going on in the US -- this comes along...

Black hurricanes....

Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about. A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names.

She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaquille, and Jamal.

I am NOT making this up!

She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.

I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, that's too hard to understand

I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans saying...

Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo ass like Leroy on a rocket! Bitch be a category fo'! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE shit

We hope this makes Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Happy !

And there is this:

Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee — who once famously asked where she could find photos of the American flag that Neil Armstrong planted on Mars — yesterday insisted, in stark defiance of basic facts of history, that

Direct quotes from the Queen of Idiocy...

“today we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace.

And I thank you professor very much. I’m going to be engaging you with those very powerful numbers that you have offered on what the tea party recognizes, uh, or is recognized as. Might I add my own P.S.? All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing [applause], uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the tea party.

Okay, so I can, with all honesty, say, "I am SOOOOO HAPPY that she is NOT a Republican, whew!!"

Portable toilet Prank funny!

2011-09-30T00:00:00.000-05:00

My first words would be, "What the bloody hell?" "Now what?"

This was great! Hope you all enjoy it!

Morgan Freeman: Tea Party Is Racist, They're Out To Get Obama

2011-09-27T00:00:00.000-05:00

The Oscar-winning actor sat down with the British TV host and, amongst other things, discussed his belief that the right wing Tea Party's anti-Obama stance is rooted in racism.

"Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term," the actor said. "What’s, what does that, what underlines that? 'Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.'"
Declaring once again that "it's a racist thing," Freeman said the group's rise has shown the hate still lingering in America.
"Well, it just shows the weak, dark, underside of America," he said. "We’re supposed to be better than that. We really are. That’s, that’s why all those people were in tears when Obama was elected president. “Ah, look at what we are. Look at how, this is America.” You know? And then it just sort of started turning because these people surfaced like stirring up muddy water."

Okay, so there we have it. Another liberal actor speaking about things he absolutely has no clue about. And has he forgotten Herman Cain and Allen West, to very intelligent conservatives, are they racist for being Tea Party Patriots? What gives?

And lest we forget, we are talking about a man who began an incestuous relationship with his then, 17-year-old granddaughter; and kept this secret until just recently. The slime-bag has the audacity to point fingers at the Tea Party when he is behaving in a manner that is downright despicable.

Yeah, I believe he just killed any credibility he had with his false and misguided allegations against the TPP.

Hollywood actors need to stick with acting and keep their political views to themselves. They hold no credence and lack the intelligence and ability to grasp the enormity of what the economy is doing to the average hard-working people in America.

Welcome to the blog tour of Heiress

2011-09-26T00:00:00.000-05:00

I would like to Litfuse for providing with my own copy to review this book.

Welcome to the launch for Susan May Warren's richly complex historical romance novel! Heiress is the first in the three book Daughters of Fortune series. In honor of Heiress' debut, Susan is hosting a FABULOUS Giveaway and giving away an opulent Gilded Age prize package fit for an heiress! (Details below.)

ABOUT THE BOOK: They can buy anything they want—fame, power, beauty, even loyalty.

But they can’t buy love.

The beautiful and wealthy heiress daughters of August Price can buy everything their hearts desire. But what if their desire is to be loved, without an enormous price tag attached? When one sister betrays another for the sake of love, will she find happiness? And what happens when the other sets out across the still untamed frontier to find it—will she discover she’s left it behind in the glamorous world of the New York gilded society? What price will each woman pay for being an heiress?

Set in the opulent world of the Gilded Age, two women discover that being an heiress just might cost them everything they love.

MY REVIEW: I absolutely loved this book! And I AM NOT a fan of romance novels. However, I found this book to be gripping and so wonderfully detailed that I finished it in one sitting.

In an age where women are supposed to keep silent and become dutiful wives, Esme, the eldest of the two, was tired of high society demands and wanted to be free from her gilded, privileged cage. She wanted something more out of life. No spoilers, but she decides to drop her life of privilege and moves to a rough and unrefined society where she becomes the person she was meant to be. However, love, and heartbreak follow her.

Then there is her sister, Jinx, who is quite the opposite she longed for the life of being a high society wife and gets what she wants but at a very high and painful price.

Both women literally go through hell and back in this novel. You will find there are sinister plots, intrigue, murder, heartbreak, men fighting each other, death, mayhem you name it it's in this book.

I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of the Daughters of Fortune, if it's as good as the first one, I found myself a new romance series to start.

Walking with a Dummy

Obama Pledges Support for Libyan Rebels

2011-09-21T00:00:00.000-05:00

9/20/11 - President Barack Obama promised the Libyan people that the world will stand with them as they reshape their country following the fall of Moammar Gadhafi's regime.

Below is the link to his speech, if you can stomach it. It's not long, I promise.

http://www.onenewsnow.com/vidPlayer.aspx?videoId=31660

Obama says to Libya, "We will stand in the struggle with you.....in this effort you will have a friend and partner in the United States of America." *Gasp*

Bloody hell!!

Really? What about our true ally and friend, Israel? Don't they deserve to hear that the United States of America is their friend and partner as well? They have proven time and time again that they stand with us.

What has Libya done for us, except murder Americans? These rebels, aka, Jihadists had every intention of over-throwing their government and create an Islamic state. And now they have the moron supporting this effort.

What about concentrating on your own nation you dumb a**! As if we didn't have enough problems to deal with. Who made him "cop" of the world?

Everything Is Still Bush's Fault

2011-09-19T16:07:00.002-05:00

NYT's Keller: With Obama's Term Two-Thirds Over, Everything Is Still Bush's Fault

Bill Keller, who earlier this month stepped down as New York Times executive editor, wrote a column for Monday, September 19, 2011 (32 months into Barack Obama’s presidency, or two-thirds of his term), blaming George W. Bush and “Republican resistance amounting to sabotage” for Obama’s political decline.

The decline in Obama’s political fortunes, the Great Disappointment, can be attributed to four main factors: the intractable legacy bequeathed by George W. Bush; Republican resistance amounting to sabotage;

Given the systemic burden Bush left for his successor, that judgment seems to me to be less about fair play than about short memories. But this is what passes for accountability in our system. And the Republicans have been relentlessly effective at rebranding every failing of the Bush administration as Obama’s fault. The historical truth, therefore, is no longer a viable political shelter for the Obama presidency. At best we can hope it serves as a caution against those who preach a return to the indiscriminate tax cuts and regulatory free-for-all that helped produce our lingering mess in the first place.

Another toxic legacy of the Bush years is an angry conservative populism, in which government is viewed as tyranny and compromise as apostasy. The Tea Party faction has captured not only the Republican primary process, but to a large extent the national conversation and the legislative machinery. In Congress the anger is pandered to by Republicans who should know better, since their nihilism discredits not only the president they have cynically set out to make a failure, but their own institution.

You just almost want to say to these liberals, "Enough already!" I am surprised that haven't stooped so low as to blame President Bush for Obamacare and the Stimulus?

The electorate voted for "Mr. Hope and Change" to take over and "fix" our problems, but instead of fixing anything at all, oh no! Mr. Hope and Change - exacerbated them!

And now the man/child has decided to continue throwing tantrums and bullying congress to pass a bill that no one wants. Still, he is pushing for raising taxes, etc.

Yeah, like we need another four years of this clown.

Bodies hanging from bridge in Mexico

2011-09-16T00:00:00.000-05:00

I believe it is high time that the Mexican authorities and military begin to take serious action against the drug cartels. But then again, our own nation is too cowardly to stand up to them and they have taken ground on American soil.

And I must applaud CNN for the excellent coverage. Surprising, but they deserve credit where credit is due

Longshore Union Member Attacks Media

2011-09-14T00:00:00.000-05:00

EXPLICIT LANGUAGE WARNING

A member of the Pacific Northwest longshoreman’s union — the union recently embroiled in violent protests across Washington State where windows were smashed, containers of grain were dumped and guards were held hostage — verbally attacked and threatened a media crew Friday.

The news correspondent and his cameraman turned up at the union’s local headquarters in Longview, Washington to ask about the situation regarding the protests. The reception was more than chilly to say the least.

“I’m from KGW and I wanted to know if there was anyone here who would want to talk to us about the situation,” a Portland news correspondent asked while knocking on the door.

The response from a union................... well you already heard it. And my ears are still ringing.

AND.. they call the Tea Party Patriots violent and threatening?????? Really?

I wonder if Obama will invite him and Hoffa to lunch and apologize for the reporter's insolence and horrid and unprofessional behavior? I mean you saw how he was harassing that poor helpless union worker, right?

I am actually wondering if this guy has some form of turret's syndrome? It was also, quite obvious, that his grasp of the English language was found wanting. Did he graduate from Under the Rock Elementary? And his last departing gesture was he letting us know his I.Q?

Flag burning @USA Embassy 9-11 anniversary UK - Extremist Muslims

2011-09-12T16:01:00.000-05:00

Unbelievable. That's all I can say. The protest was done during a one minute moment of silence in remembrance of all 9/11 victims.

Those people have absolutely no respect. And shame on the British police.

9/11 10th Anniversary Tribute - September 11, 2001

2011-09-09T20:21:00.002-05:00

What was your experience that day?

Here was mine:

I was at work (factory) listening to the radio and heard that the Pentagon had got hit and realized with shock and terror that the United States was under attack. Much to my dismay the people I worked with had no idea what the Pentagon was?!And ignored me. Until we heard about the Towers, they realized something was terribly wrong. I sat in shock the whole day. And then went to the doctors and was told I was pregnant with my second son. Stayed up all night watching the news crying and crying and praying to God. The loss of life and seeing people plummeting to their deaths will forever be imprinted on my mind. I will NEVER forget this tragic day.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET AND WE WILL NEVER SUBMIT.

Thank you and God bless the first responders. Your sacrifices will not be forgotten and we are all eternally grateful. With my truest and deepest gratitude and appreciation, thank you.

It is Ground Zero and that name should remain.

One more thing, lest we all forget, it was the 40 hero's of Flight 93 that courageously led the first counter-attack on terrorism. May they be long honored for their bravery, courage and selflessness. With their sacrifice countless of innocent lives were saved.

Dancing with the Stars

2011-09-08T14:40:00.004-05:00

Some families have already decided against watching Dancing with the Stars because of the skimpy costumes and provocative dance routines, that was one of the main reasons I decided that me and my boys would no longer watch this once enjoyable show. DWTS decided to take it up a notch and cast Carson Kressley from Carson-Nation, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and How to Look Good Naked, but also transgender Chastity-Chaz Bono- child to Sonny and Cher, (that's a mom who would be rather hard to live up to.) Both people are LGBT rights advocates and promote this destructive lifestyle. DWTS is helping them create visibility for the LGBT community.

This is completely unacceptable and quite frankly tired of this in your face attitude! Kressley will be paired up with a female dancer, and since Chasity, aka Chaz, after her sex change in 2009, will also be paired with a female dancer. Does anyone else find this a bit repulsive? Well, I do. And has anyone informed "Chaz" that no matter how much she mutilates her body she is still a woman? You cannot change your DNA, no matter how much you add or take away from your body. She is a woman and now, God bless her, a hideous looking one. What "Chaz" needed was a counselor not a scalpel. No, I am not saying these things to be ugly, but it concerns me how young impressionable minds are going to compute this.

She/he needed help from someone who has had success in helping people like her/him to get passed the confusion and realize they are beautiful they way God created them. God doesn't make mistakes.

What kind of mental chaos causes a person to mutilate and scar their bodies for life? That's NOT normal. She needed help and only got a scalpel to fix her problem.

However, I digress and to push the envelope even further for a program that could be a family show but is obviously not, Kressley is also author of the children's book You're Different and That's Super, a children's book promoting the homosexual lifestyle to children.

Bono is the show's first transgender contestant and has served as Entertainment Media Director for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). Herndon Graddick, senior director of programs for GLAAD, said in a statement, "At a time when transgender representation in the media is sorely lacking, Chaz Bono joining the cast is a tremendous step forward for the public to recognize that transgender people are another wonderful part of the fabric of American culture."

Okay, let's see how you feel about this whole Dancing with the Stars controversy.
