There were many articles I could have picked to make my point – this one (Republicans seek political advantage) just happened to be the one I hit after thinking about my question to readers.
We have top news headlines – thousands of articles – constant TV coverage and talk show chattering about the Nigerian who put blasting powder in his shorts and got on an airplane – flew to the US and failed to blow his nuts off.
Prior to the establishment of Israel, Palestine had been multi-religious and multi-cultural. Christians, Muslims and Jews, Armenians, Greek Orthodox, to name a few, all had a place there; and all lived in relative harmony. Other nations fought wars and waged epic struggles to attain the kind of coexistence that was already a reality in Palestine.
But while the world strives toward the noble truths that we are all created equal, Israel legislates the notion of a Chosen People with exclusive rights and privilege for Jews. Where countries have worked to integrate their citizens to create the richness of diversity, Israel is working in reverse, employing racist policies to “Judaize” the land whereby property and resources are confiscated from Christians and Muslims for the exclusive use of Jews.
NOTE:I am hearing from many people that INTERPOL is involved in illegal activities. This may be true; and if it were true, I would not be surprised. However, the claim of the e-mails making the rounds of the internet is that EO 13524 gives INTERPOL police state powers within the United States. This is blatantly false and not a conclusion that can be reached by examination of the documents involved: the International Organizations Immunities Act and the three executive orders involved, 12425 (Reagan), 12971 (Clinton) and 13524 (Obama). The International Organizations Immunities Act, in total, gives no foreign entity afforded diplomatic immunity, INTERPOL or any other, police state powers within the United States. Those making this claim do so erroneously. (L.S.)
Hear ye, hear ye! The 2009 award for the most Stupid Educational Fad goes to… all schools where spelling is no longer being taught; with special “Fickle Finger of Failure” prizes to administrators, school boards, state school boards, departments of education, and all others who believe that teachers should officially “stop teaching spelling”… as if trashing of the last vestige of actual academic instruction in America should be celebrated.
I suggest that in the last 50 years, American public schools have not taught enough spelling to even make a “stoppage” worthy of media coverage. Instead of making announcements, these criminals should sign confessions down at their local police departments.
Senator Boxer is compounding the Climategate scandal with cover-up and obstruction.
Aside from ideologues, hydrocarbon haters, Gaia worshipers, profiteers and power-grabbing politicians, most of the sentient world is beginning to realize that the hysteria over global warming disasters is based on dubious to fraudulent temperature data, analyses, models, reports and peer reviews.
Climate Research Unit emails, HARRY_READ_ME.txt computer memos, and blatant tampering with Australian, Russian, UK and US temperature data make the scandal impossible to ignore or explain away. They also helped ensure that Copenhagen descended into an expensive, carbon-emitting gabfest – and that China and India rejected any deal that would force them to curtail their energy generation, economic growth and poverty reduction programs.
Throughout the year we have tried with our frequent articles to not only educate, but to inspire as well. We are going to close out 2009 with a poem we wrote on the day after Christmas in 2004, entitled “FREEDOM”.
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42 B.C.)
~ Preface ~
Are we free people, or are we under the control of every government entity due to the 14th Amendment? Are we nothing more than privileged people – slaves – to government entities?
Do we live under a horrendous fraud perpetrated by government, or by those controlling government, binding us to obeying statutes written by officials? Are we indeed bona fide “subjects” and/or “wards of the State?”
A house divided against its self will not stand and a party that is representative of the people by the people can not continue to splinter or it will fall. For we know that the strength of any house begins with a foundation that has been carefully structured with truth, respect and honor. It is this brick and mortar in which the Republican party had laid long ago that strove to build up its people.
Within our party’s framework you will find the load bearing beam for which we all must stand so, we can support all the unique individuals who make her the hope for today and tomorrows America. As the party that stands for freedom, individual responsibility and the precious gift of life we have the windows that show the world our light, and our reflection of what we truly stands for.
There is a Medicare right to dialysis before age 65. But there appears to be no right to save your money and not qualify for entitlements you don’t demand anyway. If you get dialysis before age 65 you probably also have a right to a warm apartment; but you seem to have no right to save your capital when you don’t expect the government to pay your rent and heat bill.
People are not supposed to criticize bankers’ $15,000,000 bonuses–they merit every penny of it because of being good stress managers, anger managers, early risers, well groomed and clothed, knowledgeable about where to put money at any given moment. But somebody who exercises a lot, lives a safe lifestyle, lives a simple lifestyle, as a pedestrian only crosses the street at signalled crosswalks, eats healthy foods, doesn’t expect society to buy his/her chemotherapy, radiation therapy, dialysis, uses public transportation only or a car in combination with a park and ride system, is immensely communicative with others by reading and writing – such a simple lifestyle person is not worth $5000/year guaranteed annual income.
I think someone needs to alert the DHS about [her] since it falls within their guidelines on extremism. Watching Kitty speak just re-enforces the report and explains why the right freaked out over it when it initially became public.
So who is this dangerous ”Kitty” character? Is she with Al Qaeda? An accomplice of the Unabomber? “Kitty” Werthmann is a 77-year-old woman who grew up in, and during, the Nazi occupation of Austria. She tours the country warning Americans against the rise of fascism here. The above quote is taken directly from http://crooksandliars.com, another progressive outfit purporting to expose government dishonesty yet, at the same time, engages in the polarization of masses by perpetrating the phony Left/Right paradigm. They ridiculously pose as the ‘good guys’ denouncing the police state, but in this case, embrace it when it suits their agenda.
The following is Kitty’s story. You decide. Is she dangerous to America. Or is she merely dangerous to the power elite paymasters that control the phony left and right agents of the New World Order.
What do firearms and this blessed holiday have in common? Well, for one, liberals don’t like to talk about either.
Christmas is coming. And for many Americans, that means opening gifts around the tree, big family dinners and Midnight Mass. No disrespect to Norman Rockwell – but Christmas always reminds me of shooting. Sure, I love seeing my family, gorging on the kind of food and drink that are usually impermissible during the other 11 months of the year and finding some fabulous little trinket under the tree. And every year I bring a batch of ‘Cupp-cakes’ to my local police and fire precincts. But enough of Capra. If I’m honest, it’s also about the gun.
And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.” Then He who sat on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped. (Revelation 14:15-16; NASB)
Are the ideas in this essay factual, could they be possible, or are they completely fiction? The answer to this question is left up to the reader after carefully considering the ideas given, especially in light with what is already known and what can be seen transpiring in the world around us in these days.
Consider the bee hive. It is populated with thousands of workers who go out and toil every day to bring pollen back, which is made into honey. Unknown to the bees, every day, the honey which was made is stolen from them by the bee keeper, who reaps the benefit of their toil for his own selfish wants.
Isn’t it ironic that it is a black man, an African-American, (Well, at least half African-American, anyway.) as President of the United States of America, ushering in the return of SLAVERY to America? Doesn’t it just strike you as W R O N G, somehow?
Of course, it’s wrong. It doesn’t make much difference who the President is when a government goes to the dogs, as the United States government has done over the past year.
The passage of the Senate’s version of so called, “Health Care Reform” is a great political victory as political victories go, but it is a disaster for America. The core idea was not, is not and never has been to provide truly universal and high quality care for all Americans. Its purpose was, is and ever will be, in Obama’s words, “to spread the wealth around,” considering the way it was passed, through dictatorial edict.
Dawn was breaking over the Circle P in Western Wyoming. The Sun had not yet broken above the East horizon but the growing light cast an eerie orange glow on last night’s fresh snow that had put an ermine blanket on the Tetons. A few puffy clouds lingered at the top of the peaks but would soon disappear from the Sun’s rising heat. The sky was not yet blue. The trees on the hillside had already turned to several shades of yellow and orange but appeared in dark, grey tones because of the low light. Winter was just around the corner.
If you felt a frisson of fear on news that the Senate had passed Obamacare the day before Christmas, then you now know what it was and is like to live in a dictatorship. The voice of the People was ignored in a demonstration of raw political power.
There was a time when Americans took Communism seriously. It challenged us in the form of the Soviet Union and we witnessed its takeover of China.
If you have been reading my commentaries for any length of time you probably have noticed that I have undergone a pretty drastic change in writing style, from an educational tone to a more fatalistic one.
Looking back to when I first started writing, I was just as naive and ignorant as the average person I complain about today, with one difference. I had this desire to learn the truth, no matter whether what I found conflicted with my beliefs at the time or not.
President Barack Obama may regret making health care “reform” the benchmark of his Presidency.
If the bastard child of the Senate legislative morass that passed on a 60-40 party line vote becomes law it will stand in history as the benchmark of failure for Obama’s over-promised, under-performing, one-term Presidency.
The Last time Americans were this mad, they were colonists and the government, to which they were tethered, was across the Atlantic, in England, and paid no mind to the “bitching” Americans. Today the government is in Washington, DC. Little else has changed!
The end result of the first scenario above was revolution. The end result of the second scenario above may be the same thing!
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." ~ Ronald Reagan
