That's just plain crazy BS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mandatory forcing people to pay for insurance, which they can not afford is just wrong it is against our 13th amendment basically is slavery! I would rather see no change than 'crazy' change. A bunch of 'rich' politicians deciding what 'we' the people can, or cannot afford, is VERY wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree there needs to be alternative options, but if 'mandatory' is included in the language of the bill, I hope it fails. It BETTER FAIL!&amp;nbsp; More pressure on 'ordinary Americans' is unacceptable! It's already hard enough to make ends meet, without the fear of jail, or financial ruin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy talk about health care, while putting in devastating consequences is anything but 'happy' for those that will be 'forced' to pay for 'rich politicians 'happy talk'.

Does this bill give us that? We have no way of knowing because it's still be negotiated (meaning the Dems don't have enough votes for the original version). Who is really making out with our money....certainly isn't us now is it!?&amp;nbsp; We use alternative health care so unless there is something affordable that we can use for our ways of life this is plain and simply wrong!

Boxer is even trying to force it through without the official EPA analysis of what's in the bill and how much it will cost. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's bad enough to try to pass the biggest tax hike in history, hidden in what's supposed to be an environmental bill.&amp;nbsp; But slamming it through a committee when it hasn't even been analyzed by the EPA is wrong.&amp;nbsp; The public has a right to know what's in the bill and what the EPA thinks it will cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Committee votes matter, because once a senator supports something in committee it's very hard for them to change their mind on later votes.&amp;nbsp; That makes it even more outrageous that the first votes could be cast while much of the bill-and its sky-high costs for regular Americans-remain secret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm emailing you because our system indicates that one of your senators is on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (full list below). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please enter your information in the box provided above to get your Senator's contact information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell them no mark-up without a full EPA analysis, and that even with everything else going on, you know how important cap-and-trade is and you are paying attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senate Majority Committee Members&lt;br /&gt;Barbara Boxer&amp;nbsp; (Chairman)&lt;br /&gt;Max Baucus&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Thomas R.

When the motion to proceed is announced, objections will occur.&amp;nbsp; After this Senator Reid will file a cloture motion, which will attempt to stop debate and actually allow vote on his original motion to proceed.&amp;nbsp; For the cloture motion to win, there must be 60 votes.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The National Tea Party Patriots have been working on an Operation House Call program and traveling to DC to personally deliver "NO HEALTHCARE" faxes from patriots in all states......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passion to Action Weekly To Do List&lt;br /&gt;The phone calls, emails, faxes, and protests have been working.&amp;nbsp; While it is hard work, please keep up the effort. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday: &lt;br /&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Begin writing a personal letter from your heart to the Senators and Representatives &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; below ( 73 total ).&amp;nbsp; Write one addressed to each Congressman.&amp;nbsp; Then fax to &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 678-302-5377.

Together, we have led the fight to get congressional hearings, 308 cosponsors, and unprecedented attention around the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, you and I face our biggest challenge yet.  And Ron Paul needs your help!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mel Watt (D-NC), Chairman of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee, has sided with banking interests and is working to gut substantial audit provisions from H.R. 1207.  The bill Congressman Watt has sent to the full Financial Services Committee contains no audit of the Fed’s monetary policy-making authority or transparency of the Fed’s secret agreements with foreign central banks.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without these provisions, a so-called “audit” of the Fed would be worthless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The full Financial Services Committee is likely to vote on this bill either later this week or early next.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congressman Paul will offer an amendment to restore the provisions contained in H.R. 1207 to audit monetary policy and activity with foreign central banks.  Thirteen of the 41 Democrats and all 29 Republicans on the Committee have cosponsored H.R. 1207, and if they hold the line, we will have the votes to win and restore our audit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Paul has shot a YouTube video for Campaign for Liberty explaining the situation in more detail.  Click here to watch the video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pressure on the Democrat House Financial Services Committee members is critical!  Below is a list of Democrats who have cosponsored.  Please call them and urge them to vote “Yes” on the Paul Amendment.  Click on their names to get their web contact information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Rep.

Jackie Speier, CA (202) 225-3531&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When contacting these members, remember that up to this point, these members have been allies on this issue.  A civil yet firm tone should be kept during these calls.  They should be thanked for their cosponsorship, told that Mel Watt’s changes to the bill are unacceptable, and urged to hold the line and honor their promise to support transparency at the Fed by voting “Yes” for the Paul amendment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also important that we contact Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and urge them to schedule a standalone, up or down vote on the real Audit the Fed bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rep. Barney Frank: (202) 225-5931&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaker Nancy Pelosi: (202) 225-0100&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now is a crucial time for Audit the Fed.  If these 13 Democrats hold the line, Ron Paul and C4L can win this battle.  But, they must vote “Yes” on the Paul amendment when the full committee votes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together, you and I can win this fight.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-7989806898030254627?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/7989806898030254627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/11/ron-paul-needs-our-help.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7989806898030254627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7989806898030254627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/11/ron-paul-needs-our-help.html' title='Ron Paul needs our help'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-8310822328408465665</id><published>2009-10-31T08:36:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-31T08:36:19.477-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fighting Words</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span lang="0" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://fightinwordsusa.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/obama-poised-to-cede-us-soverignty-claims-british-lord/" target="_blank"&gt;Fightin’ Words&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in UN Treaty, Claims British Lord&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;October 15, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://mnfreemarketinstitute.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Minnesota Free Market Institute&lt;/a&gt; hosted an event at Bethel University in St. Paul on Wednesday evening. Keynote speaker Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, gave a scathing and lengthy presentation, complete with detailed charts, graphs, facts, and figures which culminated in the &lt;a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/10/climate_myths_and_national_sec.html" target="_blank"&gt;utter decimation&lt;/a&gt; of both the pop culture concept of global warming and the credible threat of any significant anthropomorphic climate change. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A detailed summary of Monckton’s presentation will be available here once compiled. However, a segment of his remarks justify immediate publication. If credible, the concern Monckton speaks to may well prove the single most important issue facing the American nation, bigger than health care, bigger than cap and trade, and worth every citizen’s focused attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here were Monckton’s closing remarks, as dictated from my audio recording:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it – Now the apotheosis is at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he’ll sign it.&lt;br /&gt;(Laughter)&lt;br /&gt;And the trouble is this; if that treaty is signed, if your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution (sic), and you can’t resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties – And because you’ll be the biggest paying country, they’re not going to let you out of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world. It is a privilege merely to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free. But, &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your humanity away forever!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will have any power whatsoever to take it back. That is how serious it is. I’ve read the treaty. I’ve seen this stuff about [world] government and climate debt and enforcement. They are going to do this to you whether you like it or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I think it is here, here in your great nation, which I so love and I so admire – it is here that perhaps, at this eleventh hour, at the fifty-ninth minute and fifty-ninth second, you will rise up and you will stop your president from signing that dreadful treaty, that purposeless treaty. For there is no problem with climate and, even if there were, an economic treaty does nothing to [help] it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I end by saying to you the words that Winston Churchill addressed to your president in the darkest hour before the dawn of freedom in the Second World War. He quoted from your great poet Longfellow:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sail on, O Ship of State!&lt;br /&gt;Sail on, O Union, strong and great!&lt;br /&gt;Humanity with all its fears,&lt;br /&gt;With all the hopes of future years,&lt;br /&gt;Is hanging breathless on thy fate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord Monckton received a standing ovation and took a series of questions from members of the audience. Among those questions were these relevent to the forthcoming Copenhagen treaty:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question: The current administration and the Democratic majority in Congress has shown little regard for the will of the people. They’re trying to pass a serious government agenda, and serious taxation and burdens on future generations. And there seems to be little to stop them. How do you propose we stop Obama from doing this, because I see no way to stop him from signing anything in Copenhagen. I believe that’s his agenda and he’ll do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t minimize the difficulty. But on this subject – I don’t really do politics, because it’s not right. In the end, your politics is for you. The correct procedure is for you to get onto your representatives, both in the US Senate where the bill has yet to go through (you can try and stop that) and in [the House], and get them to demand their right of audience (which they all have) with the president and tell him about this treaty. There are many very powerful people in this room, wealthy people, influential people. Get onto the media, tell them about this treaty. If they go to &lt;a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/03/the-copenhagen-treaty-draft-wealth-transfer-defined-now-with-dignity-penalty/#more-11460" target="_blank"&gt;www.wattsupwiththat.com&lt;/a&gt;, they will find (if they look carefully enough) &lt;a href="http://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/un-fccc-copenhagen-2009.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;a copy of that treaty&lt;/a&gt; , because I arranged for it to be posted there not so long ago. Let them read it, and let the press tell the people that their democracy is about to be taken away for no good purpose, at least [with] no scientific basis [in reference to climate change]. Tell the press to say this. Tell the press to say that, even if there is a problem [with climate change], you don’t want your democracy taken away. It really is as simple as that.&lt;br /&gt;Question: Is it really irrevocable if that treaty is signed? Suppose it’s signed by someone who does not have the authority, as I – I have some, a high degree of skepticism that we do have a valid president there because I -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know at least one judge who shares your opinion, sir, yes.&lt;br /&gt;I don’t believe it until I see it. … Would [Obama's potential illegitimacy as president] give us a reasonable cause to nullify whatever treaty that he does sign as president?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would be very careful not to rely on things like that. Although there is a certain amount of doubt whether or not he was born in Hawaii, my fear is it would be very difficult to prove he wasn’t born in Hawaii and therefore we might not be able to get anywhere with that. Besides, once he’s signed that treaty, whether or not he signed it validly, once he’s signed it and ratified it – your Senate ratifies it – you’re bound by it. But I will say one thing; they know, in the White House, that they won’t be able to get the 67 votes in the Senate, the two-thirds majority that your Constitution has stipulated must be achieved in order to ratify a treaty of this kind. However, what they’ve worked out is this – and they actually let it slip during the election campaign, which is how I know about it. They plan to enact that Copenhagen treaty into legislation by a simple majority of both houses. That they can do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the virtue of that – and here you have a point – is that is, thank God, reversible. So I want you to pray tonight, and pray hard for your Senate that they utterly refuse to ratify the [new] Treaty of Copenhagen, because if they refuse to ratify it and [Obama] has to push it through as domestic legislation, you can repeal it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless of whether global warming is taking place or caused to any degree by human activity, we do not want a global government empowered to tax Americans without elected representation or anything analogous to constitutional protections. The Founding Fathers would roll over in their graves if they knew their progeny allowed a foreign power such authority, effectively undoing their every effort in an act of &lt;a href="http://fightinwordsusa.wordpress.com/rebels-and-radicals-the-new-american-revolution/" target="_blank"&gt;Anti-American Revolution&lt;/a&gt;. If that is our imminent course, we need to put all else on hold and focus on stopping it. If American sovereignty is ceded, all other debate is irrelevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skimming through the treaty, I came across verification of Monckton’s assessment of the new entity’s purpose:&lt;br /&gt;38. The scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention will be based on three basic pillars: government; facilitative mechanism; and financial mechanism, and the basic organization of which will include the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;World Government (heading added)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(a) The &lt;b&gt;government&lt;/b&gt; will be ruled by the COP with the support of a new subsidiary body on adaptation, and of an Executive Board responsible for the management of the new funds and the related facilitative processes and bodies. The current Convention secretariat will operate as such, as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;To Redistribute Wealth (heading added)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) The Convention’s financial mechanism will include a multilateral climate change fund including five windows: (a) an Adaptation window, &lt;b&gt;(b) a Compensation window, to address loss and damage from climate change impacts [read: the "climate debt" Monckton refers to],&lt;/b&gt; including insurance, rehabilitation and compensatory components, © a Technology window; (d) a Mitigation window; and (e) a REDD window, to support a multi-phases process for positive forest incentives relating to REDD actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;With Enforcement Authority (heading added)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© The Convention’s facilitative mechanism will include: (a) work programmes for adaptation and mitigation; (b) a long-term REDD process; © a short-term technology action plan; (d) an expert group on adaptation established by the subsidiary body on adaptation, and expert groups on mitigation, technologies and on monitoring, reporting and verification; and &lt;b&gt;(e) an international registry for the monitoring, reporting and verification of compliance of emission reduction commitments, and the transfer of technical and financial resources from developed countries to developing countries. The secretariat will provide technical and administrative support, including a new centre for information exchange [read; enforcement].&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-8310822328408465665?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/8310822328408465665/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/fighting-words.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/8310822328408465665'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/8310822328408465665'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/fighting-words.html' title='Fighting Words'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-3605393581987724092</id><published>2009-10-28T14:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T14:48:27.788-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='defense bill'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hate crimes bill'/><title type='text'>obama inks the Defense bill</title><content type='html'>WITH hate crimes bill piggy backed onto it!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will take some time to get my thoughts in better order but off the top of my head I am NOT pleased with this BS.&amp;nbsp;

I do not know who originated this, but I hope you send something similar, or copy this and send it, to Congress! Don't forget to send to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the Congress: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - you have had 234 years&lt;br /&gt;to get it right; it is broke. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Social Security was established in 1935 - you have had 74 years to get&lt;br /&gt;it right; it is broke. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you have had 71 years to get it&lt;br /&gt;right; it is broke. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "War on Poverty" started in 1964 - you have had 45 years to get it&lt;br /&gt;right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred&lt;br /&gt;to "the poor"; it hasn't worked and our entire country is broke. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you've had 44 years to&lt;br /&gt;get it right; they are broke. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you have had 39 years to get it&lt;br /&gt;right; it is broke. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called&lt;br /&gt;TARP, the "Stimulus", the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009... none&lt;br /&gt;show any signs of working, although ACORN appears to have found a new&lt;br /&gt;source: the American taxpayer. (have you seen Acorn's new video's?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, to set a new record: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Cash for Clunkers" was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It&lt;br /&gt;took cars (that were the best some people could afford) and replaced&lt;br /&gt;them with high-priced and less-affordable cars, mostly Japanese. A good&lt;br /&gt;percentage of the profits went out of the country. And the American&lt;br /&gt;taxpayers take the hit for Congress' generosity in burning three billion&lt;br /&gt;more of our dollars on failed experiments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that&lt;br /&gt;"services" you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you&lt;br /&gt;want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run&lt;br /&gt;health care system?&amp;nbsp; Add in the $6 billion spent by the Department of&lt;br /&gt;Energy each year to insure energy independence and you can see why&lt;br /&gt;Americans are skeptical of new Government plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20% of our entire economy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all due respect,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you crazy?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-5433024205231575033?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/5433024205231575033/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/open-letter-to-congress.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/5433024205231575033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/5433024205231575033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/open-letter-to-congress.html' title='Open Letter to Congress'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-1539827428045238187</id><published>2009-10-15T09:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T09:19:29.966-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='youtube'/><title type='text'>Mr Obama Tear Down that Wall</title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="349" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z1bYMkR5h4Y&amp;border=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z1bYMkR5h4Y&amp;border=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="349"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.resistnet.com/video/video/show?id=2600775%3AVideo%3A1721932&amp;amp;xgs=1"&gt;Resist Net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-1539827428045238187?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/1539827428045238187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/mr-obama-tear-down-that-wall.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/1539827428045238187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/1539827428045238187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/mr-obama-tear-down-that-wall.html' title='Mr Obama Tear Down that Wall'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-1946084465462450536</id><published>2009-09-23T13:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-23T13:53:34.986-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='YAFL'/><title type='text'>Young Americans for Liberty  notice</title><content type='html'>Dr. Edwin Berry will be speak Tuesday, 7pm, in the MSU SUB.

I didn't want to continue to give them publicity by further posting it but you also need to be aware of what is going on!!  I pledge to give Barack Obama as much assistance as I can to send him to the private sector. Oh but sadly he has never worked in the private sector and I doubt he’d last more than a week in a real business!! I pledge to continue to ask those in the video to give up all their monies, time and energy to make all they want happen. After all, they are rich so why not give it all up and help us all out.I pledge to continue to forward information out to the uninformed populace who don’t see what is happening right under their noses. And finally, I pledge to uphold the CONSTITUTION of our great land, and defend it from terrorists both foreign and domestic, that being our current president, house, senate and Hollywood elites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A school principal has apologized for showing a video at an assembly that a politically conservative group leader is calling “radical, leftist propaganda.”&lt;br /&gt;Children at Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington were shown a short video called “I pledge” on Aug. 28. The video opens with an image of President Barack Obama and part of a speech in which he says, “Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.” The video then features celebrities making pledges about how they will help the president and the world — and that’s where some say the problem lies…&lt;br /&gt;… Gayle Ruzicka, president of conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said the video was blatantly political. She said other offensive pledges included, “I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama,” “I pledge allegiance to the funk, to the united funk of funkadelica,” and pledges to not use plastic grocery bags and not flush the toilet after urinating.&lt;br /&gt;“It’s very inappropriate to show a radical, leftist propaganda piece that political to children,” Ruzicka said. “If parents want their children to learn about those things and do them in the home, wonderful, fine, but it’s not the place of the school to show a one-sided propaganda piece to children without parents knowing about it.”&lt;br /&gt;Cieslewicz said such values should be decided in the home, not at school.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Q: SO When was the last time school children were asked to pledge to a national leader?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hint: It was in the first half of the 20th Century in Europe!Give up? Here’s a video reminder:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hitler Youth Pledge: “I promise to do my duty in love and loyalty to the Führer and our flag.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YU0VHLnOQDs&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YU0VHLnOQDs&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;OK Now I think I need to take a shower I feel just disgusting...I am seriously disgusted to say the least. They won’t allow religion, Republicans, &amp;amp; the military in but Obama – NO Problem. Do you really think Obama is going to come out and be apalled something like this has been in our school system?? I don't think he will.

Potluck at Lindley Park! Meeting #2 is Saturday the 5th at 5PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you to everyone who just joined or email list yesterday! We had our first meeting last weekend at Lindley Park and had 50 people show up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now with are email list so large we might make 100 at just the second meeting! Our goal is to network with each other and together educate Gallatin County on how the Federal Reserve really works. We met a lot of good people at the first meeting and have already started making big progress. For instance, we met Clint who is not scared to call the radio and tell them like it is. We also met Steve and his wife Cris who brought a perfect cake for the BBQ [it said End The Fed] and they ordered the multidisc DVD burner that we really needed. We should all try to give them ten dollars at the next BBQ to off set the 500 dollars it cost. Our next move is to Canvas MSU with Documentaries about the Fed. We could find out when the Political Science and Economics classes get out and hand out a hundred DVDs as they walk out of class. After that we are going to hang them up on doors. They will all have our contact information on them so you will see our numbers grow so fast we won’t fit in the park!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please get ACTIVE! If we don’t take action we are worthless to the cause and the cause is greater then us…….Its for our families future and the future of mankind. THIS BBQ is more of a Potluck….Last names…A-L pleas try to bring a main dish M-Z please bring a side or paper plates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve also ordered 150 End The Fed bumper stickers so that will be at the Potluck for people to grab. We only ask that if you take one it ends up on a car right away. We want to see them all over town!

So I hear &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Barack HUSSEIN Obama plans to speak directly to children in the government classroom via the internet on Sept 8th at 1pm eastern time grades preK-6th from what I understand but you might check into that info.&lt;/span&gt; Since when did you start sending your kids to school to be indoctrinated, since when did we change the course of what is taught going from reading, writing and arithmatic traded in for political brainwashing. This sounds something like I remember from my history classes that Hitler did to his Hitler Youth. Cant crack the parents so lets go after our new civilian crew...children! Lets train them to our liking. I am sorry but when it comes to holidays I remember when my kids were in government school I had to sign something if I did or didn't want my kids participating in certain things such as field trips, prayer, holiday class parties, sex education classes etc... I would expect since this man has no teaching degree from what I know anyhow that there will be some kind of permission slip sent home for the parents to say yes or no... BUT from what I have heard this is going to be mandatory w/o parents present, their participation or approval??? Parents sounds like your kids just came down with the squirrel flu.... start a keep your kid home from school day!! I see this as the start of his brainwashing our children and to turn them against us. From what I heard this is just a lets start this school year strong speech, but I also heard there is a list of "suggestions" that are for the teachers and children to prep for this said speech of his. So what is this going to be a graded thing and if you don't participate you get an F?? I also heard they are to study Obama's writings and presidency? Umm dude he has only been in office a few sad short months what Presidency?? I have also heard there will be a script for teachers and one such question for children will be Why do you think its important to listen to President Obama? Now I like to do all my research before blogging but kinda hard w/o my computer so am writing this all so when I get access to a computer I can just copy and paste. But I don't think for a second that what I heard is false. Not when I look over his past few months in office. From what I understand in this little speech of his supposedly there will be something about how we the kids parents must fill out the census or they will go to jail. Oh yeah lets just scare the poor kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't trust for a minute this isn't the start to something that of Hitler. Maybe just maybe I am wrong....but I don't think so. Lets look at his track record for a minute shall we? THIS administrations track record has been all about the government control and running our lives telling us what is good and bad for us that we don't know whats for the best but they do. When the "president" himself browbeats property owners that want to protect their legal rights, when he gets in the middle of a local police matter admitting he didn't know the facts, when he tells us we don't know what is good for us when he is wanting to push thru this obamacare without full approval and states it will get passed?? when there is a notification put out on the White House website (oh and that is another pet peeve of mine all these .gov websites...will get to that) to report people they hear that are against Obama and what his intentions are, when he goes and appologizes "for" Americans in past wars, bows to a Saudi king Umm yeah sorry stay the HELL away from my children. Again so happy I homeschool and it is something he will NEVER take away from me. I hear my husband and others say he is working toward that agenda, but you best just not mess with this mama bear...you will not win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thru my meetings over the recent months from End the Feds, Tea Parties, The Americans For Prosperity and so on I am so happy to see more and more people are waking up sadly not yet enough!! He hates America yet he is going to sit there and give this speech to MY child...oh thats right I homeschool and he won't be speaking to them. I remember a speech he gave in Colorado last year where he stated he wanted a Civilian National Security Force... where better to start than our impressionable children. I am guessing that is the new recent big push of the Peace Corps commercials. When my tv works...yes I got a new tv, new antenna and still get major digital disruptions in our daily shows so we rarely do turn the tv on and when we do seems like every other commercial has to do with something or other .gov websites, or I want to be a hero join the peace corp bs. I am all about having my kids help others, we have visited the nursing homes, the VA hospitals, baked goods for others when sick or around the holidays and walked around hand delivering them, the pet shelters, if my kids see someone has dropped something and arms are full or simply didn't notice they will go and help out. My 9 yr old son holds the door open for women. When these things start to be demanded of is when we will see even less giving and lending a helping hand. Why was their really these "bailout" bills...was it really to help our economy (if you look back in history prior to the Great Depression there was another depression in which self corrected, but you don't hear much about this) or was it to spend money on setting up his civilian corp? The government is NOT the solution to our problem...Government is THE problem. Why is it wherever I go I hear oh but the government will take care of this or that I don't have to worry about it. Quit being lazy get off your arse and have a little pride in yourself and go do something. I said it before in my last blog post this is all sounding a bit like Orwells' 1984~ For us conservatives I think this is all a warning...to the liberals I believe it is their "bible".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I once read that Hitler said "the youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow" there was more but that is all I remember at this time. That statement goes for no matter how you believe. We believe in making sure our kids KNOW their history of America so when someone is trying to blow smoke up their butts they know. They are told to not take our words for things that is said but rather research and form their own oppinions. They did just that the other night at an AFP rally but that is for another blog from this proud mama:0) Basically this man is treading on very dangerous waters. From my favorite song by Willie Nelson....Mamas Don't let your babies grow up to be -commies!! Sorry Willie only song I could come up with. I heard that awesome speech from the disabled Marine and my words echo his LEAVE MY KIDS ALONE!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you the parent going to be given a link where this can be seen? So that you are armed when your child comes and asks questions... you need to be armed with the info so you can answer. If Obama wants to address your child shouldn't it be in your presence? Why does he have to take it to the classroom? Why can't he make it like any other presidential address when the children are home with their parents...oh thats right how else do you corrupt young innocent minds with your communist, marxist agenda!! I sincerely hope he doesn't try to start to influence our children with his political views I feel that is up to the parents.

Right now I am not using it in a lady like manner let me tell you!!!!!  This is a hijacking in everything that day is meant for.  It is a day of remembrance, mourning for those lost, their families all those children growing up w/o a parent or possibly 2, aunts, uncles you name it.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;"&gt;*The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;"&gt;How did Michelle Obama put it- we need to change history...EXCUSE ME??? how do we change something that happened...what is done is done now we learn and move on never forgetting for future generations to learn from. They ultimately want to erase this sad harsh day in our history of America!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;"&gt;The White House pulls a crass political move that damages the non-partisan spirit of remembrance on September 11. Will you really forget that day you watched~ like me and millions of others &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;"&gt;~ of the towers falling due to terrorist attacks?  Really will you...if so shame on you. This is socialism people do you NOT realize this????? as I sit here I cannot even begin to tell you how upset I am over this.   This is nothing more than a Socialist Holiday of Community Service we bow to thee oh Heil to the Thief Obama!&lt;/span&gt; The liberals are planning to drain   9/11 of all meaning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the help of the Obama administration, the coalition is   launching a public relations campaign under the radar of the   mainstream media -- which remains almost uniformly terrified of   criticizing the nation's first black president -- to try to   change 9/11 from a day of reflection and remembrance to a day of   activism, food banks, and community gardens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They view Sept. 11 as a "Republican" day because it focuses the   public on supposedly "Republican" issues like patriotism,   national security, and terrorism. According to liberals, 9/11 was   long ago hijacked by Republicans and their enablers and unfairly   used to bludgeon helpless Democrats at election time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yearwood said the National Day of Service will be "the first   milestone" of a larger effort called Green the Block that is   attempting to convince Americans that the utopian fantasy of a   so-called green economy is possible without turning the U.S. into   a Third World country.  &lt;p&gt;   "From policy creation to community implementation, the Green the   Block campaign wants to see access and opportunity created for   all Americans, to build prosperity and a healthier planet for   future generations," Yearwood said. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;   At no time does anyone explain why this National Day of Service   has to be held -- of all the 365 days in a year -- on Sept. 11. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This about sums it up....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   Welcome to 1984, boys and girls: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;   "How many fingers am I holding up?" &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;   "Four, sir." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;   "You don't see four fingers, you see five." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;   It's room 101 for the lot of us, and the radical leftists are   working the stretch table. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they call us un-American for our townhalls...HA and what the heck do you call what they are doing to those that lost their lives??? That day is being taken from them. How much more "un-American" can one get   to want to change 9/11 from the call to patriotism and pride of   heroes (NYPD, firemen, and the soldiers that carried the flag   after them) into a political event.  The Left has lost their minds, their souls,   their pride, and their right to call themselves Americans. Our Soldiers are still over there (agree with the   War or not) delivering our answer to Islam’s Declaration of War   against America. Is nothing sacred to them other than power? Is their anything   about America that they’d be willing to stand up for and defend?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will stop there for now...be sure I will return for more on this matter.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-6841687492066272382?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/6841687492066272382/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/08/911-national-day-of-service.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/6841687492066272382'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/6841687492066272382'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/08/911-national-day-of-service.html' title='9/11 National Day of Service???'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-196607720437301913</id><published>2009-08-26T13:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-26T14:01:31.250-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='death'/><title type='text'>So Kennedy Dies....</title><content type='html'>Why should we get any less treatment than Ted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He got all the treatment he needed to fight brain cancer yet they want us to accept substandard form of care that they are not subject to -yet WE pay their salary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ted being buried in Arlington Cemetary why should he get buried there when our military fought and died honorably and he dissed on them, cut their funding during Vietnam and now he gets the privelege of being buried among them??

If it was not for his name and money he would have done time like anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made a statement last night when I heard he passed on from his battle with brain cancer- that he finally did something right...meaning as he died. Maybe this wasn't the best way to have worded something as I never wish death on anyone, but had this been anyone else they would have done time, back in the day he would have hung for his crime of taking anothers life. Do I celebrate his death certainly not, but also feel he didn't deserve his place in the senate and certainly will NOT waste my time in mourning his passing. May he come back a better person in his next life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am really sick of these people in Washington, on the News, and the liberal media etc. Making Ted Kennedy sound like a saint who could do no wrong.

However, there are many things that the major news has not covered. I feel that since Bill and I live here and we were at the airport on Friday I should share some facts with you. Whatever you decide to do with the information is up to you. If you chose to share this email with others I do ask that you DELETE my email address before you forward this on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President would be coming here. There are many groups here that are against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking and deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than the date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On about Tuesday Bill found out that they would be holding the "Town Hall" at the airport. (This is only because Bill knows EVERYONE at the airport) Our airport is actually located outside ofBelgrade(tiny town) in a very remote location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from the public.&lt;br /&gt;FYI: We have many areas inBelgradeandBozemanwhich could have held a large amount of folks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/auditoriums). All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!! $$$$$&lt;br /&gt;During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in constantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it was our President coming several expressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession. $$$$$&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Late Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and the president would be arriving around 12:30 Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local printing shop per White House request. Hmmmm......900 tickets just DISAPPEARED.&lt;br /&gt;This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama.Montanahas some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to help out the local economy. Anyone heard of the Recession?? Just think...with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine what else we are paying for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday Bill and I got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama's spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area (illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd.&lt;br /&gt;The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30 and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned Parenthood folks were with them.....professing abortion rights with their T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those against healthcare/spending moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over and walking through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the direction of the one SEIU man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we hadMontanafolks from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs and their DOGS with homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you name it. There was even a guy fromTexaswho had been driving through. He found out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and came to protest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are wondering about the press.....Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to them. I have my doubts that they knew anything about the crowds.&lt;br /&gt;We did have some local news media around us from this state andIdaho. Speaking of the local media...they were invited. However, all questions were to be turned into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn't want anyone to have to think off the top of their head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was very obvious that it was meant to be totally controlled by the White House. Everything was orchestrated down to the last detail to make it appear thatMontanais just crazy for Obama and government healthcare. Even those people that talked about their insurance woes........the White House called our local HRDC (Human Resource and Development Committee) and asked for names. Then the White House asked those folks to come. Smoke and mirrors...EVERYTHING was staged!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in theUnited States of America, more like theUSSR!! I was physically nauseous. Bill and I have been around when Presidents or Heads of State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened for our country.Americaneeds your prayers and your voices. If you care about our country please get involved. Know the issues. And let Congress hear your voices again and again!! If they are willing to put forth so much effort to BULLY a small town one can only imagine what is going on inWashingtonDC. Scary!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kathy&lt;br /&gt;Bozeman, Montana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-4444677513511069338?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/4444677513511069338/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/08/freedom-of-speech-in-action.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/4444677513511069338'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/4444677513511069338'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/08/freedom-of-speech-in-action.html' title='Freedom of Speech in Action'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-335528996071534625</id><published>2009-08-25T14:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-25T15:06:14.905-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tea Party'/><title type='text'>What happened outside Obama’s Healthcare Town Hall Meeting:</title><content type='html'>As many by now know Obama came to Bozeman MT...well not really he was too chicken to bother leaving the airport so our "townhall" meeting was held at the airport.

While the Obama supporters arrived in the middle of the night, claimed our permitted area and had an early advantage with numbers and with positioning, we eventually turned out 300-350 people and tea-bagged them. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The opponents, who turned out approximately 150 people only a few of whom I could recognize from Gallatin County, initially outfoxed and out-positioned us. We tried several times to remove them as soon as we arrived in the early morning. The police were not able to remove them. Bill Dove, chief of airport security, using a megaphone told all of us that he and his men were there to protect the President of the United States and the Town Hall event, told the Obama supporters to leave our area and urged us to keep our cool. The Obama supporters refused to heed his order. Instead they continued to goad us. It was bordering on getting out-of-control but we refused to take the bait. We were outnumbered at that time—our people arrived late—and decided to back off, set up camp and do our program. After all, you can’t win a mud fight against pigs in a pig pen. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; While we were regrouping, we eventually overran their chants. When our volunteer fire truck was set up with our loud PA system and put into position, we overwhelmed them and the battle was pretty much over. The fire truck was the perfect platform. I climbed on top and began our program welcoming our supporters to America’s Second Revolution. We kicked into high gear and pumped up the crowd. Tammy Hall also got it going. One guy, whom we never met before, Dr. David McKalip, a Florida-based neurosurgeon, took time from his Yellowstone Park vacation with his family and joined us when he heard about our rally. He gave a great speech. Dr. McKalip spoke about the need for accessible and affordable high-quality health care free from government intervention and the need to empower patients with the financial and decision-making power taking it from government and insurance companies. Anyone who wanted to speak got an opportunity. Janice Hall, an emergency room doctor from Billings and Jennifer Stillings, a local nurse both spoke. A woman from England discussed her country’s experience with government-run healthcare. Activists Bob Adney, Tom Tuck, Rep. Mike More (HD-70), Billie Orr and Stan Jones among others also spoke. Patient’s First, a national group was holding up the rear with their parked bus, gathering signatures on petitions and handing out information. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The opponents are led by paid hacks. In addition to union members, the Fund for Public Interest, a left-leaning pro-Obama non-profit organization is apparently paying $10-15 per hour, up to $600 per week for campaign workers to “go out in communities around the country and help make change happen.” With offices in Missoula, it is likely that the Fund sent people to the Friday protest. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Unlike many of the pro-Obama reformers, we are volunteers and do our work not for free, but at a personal loss and are proud to pay this small price for freedom. We, like most Montanans have a high level of distrust, concern and outrage over government control over private industries, and in this case the healthcare industry which comprises17 percent of our total economy. We are tired of bank bailouts, massive unsustainable spending and government takeover of private industries such as the auto industry, the banking industry and the insurance industry. While many of us agree that healthcare needs reform, we also feel that the best place to start is with tort reform to reduce the costs of physicians’ malpractice insurance and incentives for maintaining health. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The Sunday prior to President Obama’s visit Tea Party protesters gathered at the Museum of the Rockies to greet Senator Max Baucus. Baucus, who acted like John the Baptist clearing the way for the arrival of the Chosen One, was in town to promote the Make Health Happen Montana conference. The President realizes the importance of Montana, in part due to Baucus’ position as Chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee and wanted to pressure the Senator into backing his more aggressive healthcare reform agenda. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; While Baucus showed courage in getting out of his car and addressing Tea Party protesters for an impromptu question and answer session, his comments to the media the next day diminished our respect for him. In an interview with the Daily Inter Lake, Baucus said “he tried to talk with people protesting outside the conference, but said they would not let him speak" which is a fabrication. He said that one demonstrator "was bused in from Texas" implying that others were also bussed in is also a lie. We don’t need to bus people in because our volunteers, who in overwhelming numbers live in Gallatin County and vicinity, were willing to come out in full force on a Sunday night to stage this protest. Baucus went further in insulting us calling us "the closest thing to a mob that I've ever experienced in my life." I guess he’s never been to a Cat-Griz game before. Insulting tea party patriots and offering patent lies is the new political speak and modus operandi of the White House. It is a shameful attempt to denigrate us, dismiss our concerns, and project blame. It’s unfortunate because we had some very credible people at the rally including Dr. JD Clark, a local podiatrist who asked Baucus a pressing question about government micromanagement of his practice; Peter O’Reilly, M.D., a retired anesthesiologist; local activists Nick Landeros and Dan Bennett and others spoke during the open mike session. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The scene outside the President’s Town Hall meeting nearly a quarter mile away in the free speech zone was in stark contrast to the kumbaya session inside the hangar. In the field, paid left-wing extremists led by paid members of the SEIU and community organizers, bused down along with Montana AFL-CIO members—the new brownshirts of our tim—were trying to cause havoc. They attempted to goad us into direct conflict; we ultimately refused, regrouped, got on message and blew them into silence once our program began. Some media were present but the stage for this confrontation was purposefully set far away from the President and the media entourage and was barely reported on. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Tea Party protesters and other groups are organizing a 912 rally in Washington, DC and at state capitals throughout the country including the Helena Capital. The bottom line is that we, the people, surround them, the paid union members and their loyalists. We tea-bagged them in Bozeman and will do it again in Helena and around the nation. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Henry Kriegel, a marketing professional, is one of the Bozeman Tea Party organizers and a talk show host of Open Range Thursdays broadcast on KMMS AM1450 from 4:00-600 pm.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-335528996071534625?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/335528996071534625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-happened-outside-obamas-healthcare.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/335528996071534625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/335528996071534625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-happened-outside-obamas-healthcare.html' title='What happened outside Obama’s Healthcare Town Hall Meeting:'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-3847754182912126398</id><published>2009-06-04T06:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-04T06:37:24.564-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='youtube'/><title type='text'>Bye Bye Pelosi?</title><content type='html'>Could it be true?

Ron Paul (R.-Texas) introduced H.R. 1146, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2009 in the House and the legislation was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The bill was cosponsored by Rep. John J. Duncan, Jr. (R.-Tenn.) on March 19.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stated objective of H.R. 1146 is to end membership of the United States in the United Nations. It would accomplish this end by initiating the following actions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;� Repeal the United Nations Participation Act of 1945;&lt;br /&gt;� Require the president to terminate all participation by the United States in the United Nations, and any organ, specialized agency, commission, or other formally affiliated body of the United Nations;&lt;br /&gt;� Close the United States Mission to United Nations;&lt;br /&gt;� Terminate the appropriation of funds for assessed or voluntary contributions of the United States to the United Nations or any of its affiliated agencies;&lt;br /&gt;� Prohibit funding of contributions to any United Nations military operation;&lt;br /&gt;� Prohibit any member of the Armed Forces of the United States from serving under the command of the United Nations;&lt;br /&gt;� Prohibit employees of the United Nations from using U.S. government property;&lt;br /&gt;� Suspend diplomatic immunity for officers and employees of the United Nations;&lt;br /&gt;� Repeal acts authorizing U.S. participation in UN agencies such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization; the United Nations Environment Program; and the World Health Organization; and would end all participation in any and all conventions and agreements with the United Nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In �&lt;a href="http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2000/cr091800.htm" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0066cc;"&gt;America�s Role in the United Nations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,�  a statement made before the House on September 18, 2000, Rep. Paul explained his reasons for introducing this legislation, which he has done in every Congress since 1997. A key part of his argument follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To date, Congress has attempted to curb the abuse of power of the United Nations by urging the United Nations to reform itself, threatening the nonpayment of assessments and dues allegedly owed by the United States and thereby cutting off the United Nations' major source of funds. America's problems with the United Nations will not, however, be solved by such reform measures. The threat posed by the United Nations to the sovereignty of the United States and independence is not that the United Nations is currently plagued by a bloated and irresponsible international bureaucracy. Rather, t&lt;em&gt;he threat arises from the United Nation's Charter which � from the beginning � was a threat to sovereignty protections in the U.S. Constitution&lt;/em&gt;. The American people have not, however, approved of the Charter of the United Nations which, by its nature, cannot be the supreme law of the land for it was never 'made under the Authority of the U.S.,' as required by Article VI." (Emphasis added.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those unfamiliar with some of the problematic aspects of U.S. participation in the UN might consider the UN�s role on the side of tyranny in several historic contests. These include, but are not limited to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;� In 1961, when Moise Tshombe, the respected leader of the peaceful province of Katanga, tried to secede from the central government of the Congo controlled by the brutal thug, Patrice Lumumba, the United Nations sent in troops not to quell Lumumba's brutality but to suppress Tshombe's secession.&lt;br /&gt;� In 1971, the UN General Assembly voted to oust Nationalist China (Taiwan) and welcome in its place the bloodiest regime the world has ever known, the dictatorship led by Mao Zedong, who had murdered in excess of 60 million of its own subjects since gaining power with U.S. help in 1949.&lt;br /&gt;� UN forces in Rwanda actually abetted the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Peter Hammond of Frontline Fellowship in Holocaust in Rwanda, testified that Belgian UN troops stationed in a heavily fortified compound in Kigali �deceived the [Tutsi] refugees by assembling them for a meal in the dining hall and then [they] evacuated the base while the refugees were eating. Literally two minutes after the Belgians had driven out of their base, the Presidential Guard poured into the buildings annihilating the defenseless Tutsi refugees.�&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Far from being mankind�s �last hope for peace,� the UN has consistently provided a forum for tyrants and tin pot dictators to spew their vitriol; has favored tyrannical regimes over free societies in many international conflicts; and has threatened the sovereignty of the world�s free nations, by entangling them in numerous compacts and conventions that are the building blocks of a world government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The late Senator Robert Taft of Ohio, who had initially approved of the establishment of the UN, later on publicly lamented his action, claiming, �The UN is a trap; let�s go it alone!�&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scroll down to take action by sending an email to your representative and senators in Congress telling them to support passage of H.R. 1146 in both Houses of Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to personalize the pre-written, editable message to ensure the maximum impact.

&lt;hr /&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;Two experts, one a Christian the other a devout Muslim, are both wary of a plan in progress to establish the first four-year accredited Islamic college in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both fear that the proposed school, which could open as soon as next fall, would promote the idea of the Islamic state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;�Certainly, an attempt at the formation of an accredited college by Muslim academics can be a good thing if it is founded in the ideas of freedom and liberty and against Islamism (political Islam),� said Dr. M. Zuhidi Jasser, founder and president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD), to The Christian Post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;�But I�m not convinced that this college will be creating anti-Islamist Muslims who will reform sharia (Islamic law) and bring Muslim thought into an era where religious law can be separated from government as the Establishment Clause mandates,� he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jasser, who is a devout practicing Muslim American and a former physician to the U.S. Congress, pointed out that one of the college�s main scholars, Imam Zaid Shakir, had said in a 2006 New York Times story that he hopes the United States will one day be a Muslim country ruled by Islamic law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The �primary root cause� of Islamic radicalism, stressed Jasser, is the mission to establish an Islamic state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;�The leadership of Zaytuna [College] seems to be all about political Islam with no public critique of the global mission of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist idealogies,� said Jasser, whose public critique of problems he sees in his faith has resulted in a backlash from the Muslim community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added, �I dream of the day where universities have established endowed chairs in the study of anti-Islamist studies from the viewpoint of freedom and with devout Muslims leading the charge and the academics.�&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A group of American Muslims, including Zaid Shakir, is leading an effort to establish Zaytuna College, or what some call the �Muslim Georgetown.�&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shakir, who converted to Islam while serving in the U.S. Air Force, said the college will offer liberal arts education and Islamic studies, The Associated Press reported. The college plans to start with offering two majors: Arabic language and Islamic legal and theological studies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1996, Shakir founded Zaytuna Institute based in Berkeley, Calif. The American Muslim imam, who now has tens of thousands of followers, was trained under Islamic scholars in North Africa and the Middle East for years after his conversion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shakir told the New York Times earlier that he wants the United States to be ruled by Islamic law �not by violent means, but by persuasion.�&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. William Wagner, author of How Islam Plans to Change the World, said he is not surprised about the plan to build a Muslim college in the United States. He said for years Islamists have planned to open universities in western countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;�They see the value of education especially in educating their young leaders for eventual takeover of some western countries,� said Wagner, former professor of missions at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in San Francisco, to The Christian Post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;�Their strategy includes extensive student work in many U.S. universities and the start of a new university is only an extension of their main strategy,� he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wagner served for over 30 years as a missionary in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa with the International Mission Board.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently, leaders of Zaytuna are in the midst of a fundraising campaign. They need $2 to $4 million to launch the school next year. A Zaytuna adviser told AP in a recent interview that the school will soon raise tens of millions of dollars to build a campus in the Bay area in the next few years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-260438357703403092?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/260438357703403092/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/muslim-us-college-is-proposed.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/260438357703403092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/260438357703403092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/muslim-us-college-is-proposed.html' title='A Muslim U.S. College is proposed'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-8231349772944854047</id><published>2009-05-29T06:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-29T06:19:24.218-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Religion'/><title type='text'>Prison system serves as Muslim 101</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:#002b5e;"&gt;America's prison system serves as Evangelism 101 for Islam &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0066cc;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://washingtontimes.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://washingtontimes.com&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana, sans serif;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0066cc;"&gt; &lt;hr /&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;At least two of the Muslim ex-convicts arrested last week in the Bronx on charges of planning to bomb synagogues and shoot down airplanes came to Islam while in prison. Their arrest has raised the point that America's prison system often serves as Evangelism 101 for Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few years ago, I visited several Muslims in a state penitentiary in Culpeper, Va., and combed local mosques for former inmates to learn why so many prisoners choose Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dantes Augustin, a former Catholic, told me of a "humble, meek and very pious" Muslim prison chaplain he met in a federal penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pa. The chaplain took the time to explain the basics of the religion and Mr. Augustin converted within a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Islam, he explained, "Cleanliness is highly recommended; you should not use profanity, you should be courteous. I always wanted to practice virtues and Islam gave me the tools."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Augustin added, "I met Muslims from all over the world in American prisons: Indonesians, Palestinians, Egyptians, even Chinese. Islam is the fastest growing religion in prison because people there see it for what it really is."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are anywhere from 200,000 to 340,000 Muslim inmates in local, federal and state prisons, or 9 percent to 15 percent of the nation's incarcerated population even though they are 2 percent of the total U.S. populace. The federal Bureau of Prisons told me Muslims comprised 5.7 percent of their inmates, and a spokeswoman for the District's jail system told me 18 percent of its inmates were Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prison is a fertile ground for inmates who already feel victimized by American society, according to Roy and Niger Innis of the Manhattan-based Congress of Racial Equality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Prison is the best recruitment ground imaginable," Roy Innis said. "Young black men change their so-called white Christian slave names to a Muslim name. Then they are told it wasnt their crime, it was racism that put them in jail."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conversions to Islam, they said, are considered the ultimate rebellion against a white-controlled system. Black Christians, they added, are called traitors to their race and Christianity is labeled as a weak and powerless faith because of the killing of its founder. Islam, which honors Jesus as a prophet but denies that He rose from the dead, is portrayed as the religion of power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Criminals are made to feel they are political prisoners and revolutionaries in the criminal system," Niger Innis said. "Once people are released, they go back to Watts or Harlem and integrate themselves into the black community. So, if they are part of a terrorist cell in prison, they spread that into the black community."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mahdi Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society and the founder and former director of the National Islamic Prison Foundation, had a different read on why inmates convert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Islam is organized in prison; there's prayer five times a day; and things that are organized run better," he says. "There's needs for boundaries and needs for certainties. Machismo has an important aspect in prisons and Islam has a strong concentration on being manly. That really resonates with people who come from homes without fathers around."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-8231349772944854047?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/8231349772944854047/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/prison-system-serves-as-muslim-101.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/8231349772944854047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/8231349772944854047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/prison-system-serves-as-muslim-101.html' title='Prison system serves as Muslim 101'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-8010545327111527017</id><published>2009-05-28T21:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T22:04:58.185-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guns'/><title type='text'>No Guns for Negroes</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2 align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:130%;" &gt;I found this rather informative and felt I should repost for others to see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"No Guns for Negroes"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;JPFO's movie, "No Guns for Negroes" -exposes the racist history of American gun control laws.

When the gun prohibitionists quote a statistic about how many people are killed by firearms misuse, the discussion sometimes bogs down into whose crime stats to believe and how to count crimes vs. the defensive firearm uses. &lt;i&gt;Death by Gun Control &lt;/i&gt;works on a level that nobody can dispute: documented world history.  In the 20th Century:  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Governments murdered four times as many civilians as were killed in all the international and domestic wars combined.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Governments murdered millions more people than were killed by common criminals. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; How could governments kill so many people? The governments had the power - and the people, the victims, were unable to resist. The victims were unarmed.  &lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Truth They Cannot Refute&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/center&gt; &lt;i&gt;Death by Gun Control&lt;/i&gt; delivers the essential - and gut wrenching -- truth that the anti-self defense "gun control" advocates never try to refute. They simply cannot refute the facts or the formula. Here's the Formula: &lt;b&gt;Hatred + Government + Disarmed Civilians = Genocide &lt;/b&gt; What makes the argument so powerful? Two factors. First, it makes common sense: unarmed defenseless people have no hope against armed aggressors. Second, it states the historical truth: evil governments did wipe out 170,000,000 innocent non-military lives in the 20th Century alone. Using the facts in &lt;i&gt;Death by Gun Control,&lt;/i&gt; you can take down the enemies of the Bill of Rights. The rights-destroyers have no answers to these facts. They have no excuses for their killer ideas. JPFO's work has already borne fruit. John R. Bolton, an under-Secretary of State for the United States, this year urged the United Nations to recognize how an "oppressed non-state group defending itself from a genocidal government" will need ready access to firearms. Mr. Bolton might have been the first U.S. official in modern history to have argued to the UN that private citizens might need to be armed against their own killer governments. &lt;p&gt;Paul Harvey, the world-renowned and much admired radio commentator, last year reportedly broadcast the JPFO-produced facts linking "gun control" to the genocide of millions of unarmed civilians. Country by country, Mr. Harvey counted the murdered victims of civilian disarmament policies. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpfo.net/filegen-a-m/deathgc.htm#chart" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.jpfo.net/filegen-a-m/deathgc.htm#chart&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-7121934471806356835?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/7121934471806356835/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/death-by-gun-control.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7121934471806356835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7121934471806356835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/death-by-gun-control.html' title='Death by Gun Control'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-6252708292962884047</id><published>2009-05-28T21:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T21:42:38.550-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='China'/><title type='text'>China warns Federal Reserve over 'printing money'</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="status-body"&gt;&lt;span class="entry-content"&gt;Congress is sucking the life out of Lady Liberty... and of our children's future.  &lt;a href="http://congress-sucks.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://Congress-Sucks.org &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"The GoVenMunt is not the solution, it's the Problem!"

I was asked at every single meeting about our purchases of Treasuries.

The Dallas Fed uses a "trim mean" method based on 180 prices that excludes extreme moves and is widely admired for accuracy. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"You've got some mild deflation here," he said. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Oxford-educated Mr Fisher, an outspoken free-marketer and believer in the Schumpeterian process of "creative destruction", has been running a fervent campaign to alert Americans to the "very big hole" in unfunded pension and health-care liabilities built up by a careless political class over the years. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"We at the Dallas Fed believe the total is over $99 trillion," he said in February. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"This situation is of your own creation. When you berate your representatives or senators or presidents for the mess we are in, you are really berating yourself. You elect them," he said.

The lecture was published the following year in the Berkeley La Raza Law Journal.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The comment is being zeroed in on by voices from the political right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm not saying she's a racist, but the statement sure is," columnist Ann Coulter said on ABC's "Good Morning America." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a latina woman,'" &lt;a href="http://newt.org/Blogs/tabid/59/Default.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0066cc;"&gt;blogged former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. "Wouldn't they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism. A white man racist nominee would be forced to withdraw.

Well, those days are gone because reverse racists certainly do have the power to implement their power. Obama is the greatest living example of a reverse racist, and now he's appointed one. ..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But others are suggesting Sotomayor's racial views will have little impact on her confirmation to the bench.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She's gonna get confirmed. Get out of the way of the truck," political analyst Dick Morris said tonight on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Host Bill O'Reilly responded, "The core conservative person ... does not understand that the GOP is shrinking and needs to expand."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NCLR is applauding the Obama for his selection of Sotomayor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Today is a monumental day for Latinos. Finally, we see ourselves represented on the highest court in the land," said &lt;a href="http://www.nclr.org/content/news/detail/57500/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0066cc;"&gt;Janet Murguia, NCLR's president and CEO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=27723" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0066cc;"&gt;La Raza also praised former President George W.

Charles Norwood, R-Ga., as a radical "pro-illegal immigration lobbying organization that supports racist groups calling for the secession of the western United States as a Hispanic-only homeland."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Norwood urged La Raza to renounce its support of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan – which sees "the Race" as part of an ethnic group that one day will reclaim Aztlan, the mythical birthplace of the Aztecs. In Chicano folklore, Aztlan includes California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=99420" target="_blank"&gt;http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=99420&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-7060276515861127011?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/7060276515861127011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/sonia-sotomayor-la-raza-member.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7060276515861127011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7060276515861127011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/sonia-sotomayor-la-raza-member.html' title='Sonia Sotomayor &apos;La Raza member&apos;'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-1766495685681172569</id><published>2009-05-28T19:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T19:56:43.900-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thomas Paine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='youtube'/><title type='text'>Open Letter to President Obama</title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;Thomas Paine is back!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;span class="description"&gt;Thomas Paine admonishes the President to uphold our founding principles &lt;/span&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xxDwBYjL3Fc&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xxDwBYjL3Fc&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-1766495685681172569?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/1766495685681172569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/open-letter-to-president-obama.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/1766495685681172569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/1766495685681172569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/open-letter-to-president-obama.html' title='Open Letter to President Obama'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-4249730281495628856</id><published>2009-05-28T19:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T19:51:58.844-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WWIII'/><title type='text'>US, S.

Korea&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="firstpara"&gt;&lt;span class="location"&gt;SEOUL, South Korea —&lt;/span&gt; The U.S. and South Korea put their military forces on high alert Thursday after North Korea renounced the truce keeping the peace between the two Koreas since 1953.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The North also accused the U.S. of preparing to attack the isolated communist country in the wake of its second nuclear bomb test, and warned it would retaliate to any hostility with "merciless" and dangerous ferocity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Seoul moved a 3,500-ton destroyer into waters near the Koreas' disputed western maritime border while smaller, high-speed vessels were keeping guard at the front line, South Korean news reports said. The defense ministry said the U.S. and South Korean militaries would increase surveillance activities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Pyongyang, meanwhile, positioned artillery guns along the west coast on its side of the border, the Yonhap news agency said. The Joint Chiefs of Staffs in Seoul refused to confirm the reports.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The show of force along the heavily fortified border dividing the two Koreas comes three days after North Korea conducted an underground nuclear test and fired a series of short-range missiles.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The test drew immediate condemnation from world leaders and the U.N. Security Council, where ambassadors were discussing a new resolution to punish Pyongyang. President Barack Obama called it a "blatant violation"of international law.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In response, South Korea said it would join more than 90 nations that have agreed to stop and inspect vessels suspected of transporting weapons of mass destruction.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;North Korea called South Korea's participation in the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative a prelude to a naval blockade and a violation of the truce signed to end the three-year wore that broke out in Korea in 1950.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On Wednesday Pyongyang renounced the 1953 armistice and the following day warned U.S. forces against advancing into its territory.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"The northward invasion scheme by the U.S. and the South Korean puppet regime has exceeded the alarming level," the North's main Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. "A minor accidental skirmish can lead to a nuclear war."

It staged a rally in its capital, Pyongyang, on Tuesday to celebrate the test.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The isolated communist regime said through its official news agency that it would respond with military action if South Korea tries to stop or search any of its ships as part of the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Those who provoke (North Korea) once will not be able to escape its unimaginable and merciless punishment," the North's official news agency said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;South Korea decided to join the anti-proliferation initiative on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, South Korea's mass-circulation Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Wednesday that U.S. spy satellites detected signs of steam at the North's Yongbyon nuclear complex, an indication that it may have started reprocessing nuclear fuel.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The report, which could not be confirmed, quoted an unidentified government official. South Korea's Yonhap news agency also had a similar report.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The move would be a major setback for efforts aimed at getting North Korea to disarm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;North Korea had stopped reprocessing fuel rods as part of an international deal. In 2007, it agreed to disable the Yongbyon reactor in exchange for aid and demolished a cooling tower at the complex.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The North has about 8,000 spent fuel rods which, if reprocessed, could allow it to harvest 13 to 18 pounds (six to eight kilograms) of plutonium — enough to make at least one nuclear bomb, experts said. North Korea is believed to have enough plutonium for at least a half dozen atomic bombs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Further ratcheting up tensions, North Korea has test-fired five short-range missiles over the past two days, South Korean officials confirmed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;North Korea suggested that more missile tests could be planned, telling ships to stay away from waters off its west coast through Wednesday, according to South Korea's coast guard.

But those increases would kill economic growth, sending government revenues spiraling downward and eventually leaving Washington only one choice – repudiation of debt or bankruptcy. Either way, American prosperity will be a distant memory for generations to come. Intervention cannot come too soon.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;But, even though the US Government is broke it hasn't stopped it from hiring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; the average pay for a federal worker will leap from $72,800 in 2008 to $75,419 next year.&lt;br /&gt;That's "average" pay.&lt;br /&gt;In 2007, the median annual &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#de7008;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;household&lt;/em&gt; income was $50,233.00&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; according to the Census Bureau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/05/12/business/econwatch/entry5007862.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#de7008;"&gt;CBS News&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; reported:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;President Obama's call last year for "shared sacrifice" doesn't extend to federal employees, at least based on the details of his administration's 2010 budget released this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a time when the official unemployment rate is nearing double digits, and 6.35 million people are receiving unemployment benefits, the U.S. government is on a hiring binge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Executive branch employment — 1.98 million in 2009, excluding the Postal Service and the Defense Department — is set to increase by 15.6 percent for the 2010 fiscal year. Most of that is thanks to the Census Bureau hiring 102,000 temporary workers, but not counting them still yields a net increase of 2 percent in one year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's little belt-tightening in evidence in Washington, D.C.: Counting benefits, the average pay per federal worker will leap from $72,800 in 2008 to $75,419 next year. &lt;/blockquote&gt;It's really no surprise then that the &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/29/AR2006082901543.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#de7008;"&gt;Washington DC counties top the list&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; as the nation's richest counties. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryHeader"&gt; &lt;h2 class="blogEntryTitle"&gt;&lt;a href="http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2009/05/closing-loopholes.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;CLOSING LOOPHOLES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryMeta"&gt;As expected, the Obama administration revealed &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE54A3DL20090511?feedType=RSS&amp;amp;feedName=politicsNews" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;more changes to the tax code yesterday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Remember that it had to find ways to come up with more tax revenue because it miscalculated how expensive it is going to be for the government to bring healthcare to the people! One of the many ways the government plans to get more of your money is by closing tax loopholes for all those evil rich people .... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryContent"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryBody"&gt; &lt;p&gt;A senior administration official says, The proposals "take on what we believe are a series of unjustifiable loopholes, unjustifiable tax breaks that we simply cannot afford."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That who cannot afford? The imperial federal government? Is it entitled to this money that is earned by you, the taxpayers? What they are really saying is that this money belongs to us .. and we just can't afford to let the people who earned it keep it. We'll let them keep just enough to keep them working. Are you starting to "get it" folks? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryHeader"&gt; &lt;h2 class="blogEntryTitle"&gt;&lt;a href="http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2009/05/this-should-scare-the-tar-out.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;THIS SHOULD SCARE THE TAR OUT OF YOU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryMeta"&gt;The government will have to &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090511/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_budget" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;borrow nearly 50 cents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for every dollar it spends this year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryContent"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryBody"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Borrowing implies that it will one day be paid back. With interest. Actually, it has to be paid off. Much of that debt is owned by foreign governments. That debt will have to be repaid. Some of the debt is held by Americans ... and the government can easily just ignore that. After all ... the government owns us. We work at the pleasure and for the pleasure of the political class. Whatever wealth we produce, they own. In their infinite wisdom they'll allow you to keep just enough of your wealth to encourage you to keep working so that you can keep funding them. It will be the same for your children and your grandchildren. There's a huge multi-trillion debt to be paid ... thank goodness the government has the assets to cover that debt. Your children. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryHeader"&gt; &lt;h2 class="blogEntryTitle"&gt;&lt;a href="http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2009/05/did-this-guy-get-it-right-or-w.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;DID THIS GUY GET IT RIGHT OR WHAT?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryMeta"&gt;&lt;a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/GeorgeWill/2009/05/10/upside-down_economy" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;George Will had another excellent column&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; over the weekend, and a listener brought this paragraph of that column to my attention. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryContent"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryBody"&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In "Democracy in America," Alexis de Tocqueville anticipated people being governed by "an immense, tutelary power" determined to take "sole charge of assuring their enjoyment and of watching over their fate." It would be a power "absolute, attentive to detail, regular, provident and gentle," aiming for our happiness but wanting "to be the only agent and the sole arbiter of that happiness." It would, Tocqueville said, provide people security, anticipate their needs, direct their industries and divide their inheritances. It would envelop society in "a network of petty regulations -- complicated, minute and uniform." But softly: "It does not break wills; it softens them, bends them, and directs them" until people resemble "a herd of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Read it a couple of times. When you fully understand what de Tocqueville wrote find a government-educated friend and try to explain it to them. If you REALLY want a challenge find someone who voted for Obama - and has not come to regret that vote - and see if you can explain it to them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-5283586384313672670?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/5283586384313672670/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/government-is-broke-but-keeps-spending.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/5283586384313672670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/5283586384313672670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/government-is-broke-but-keeps-spending.html' title='Government is BROKE but keeps spending'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-2495772840588161873</id><published>2009-05-28T19:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T19:25:43.869-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><title type='text'>Late for the Party</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title"&gt;&lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/05/late-to-party-some-rich-obama.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Late to the Party-- Rich Obama Supporters Realize He's a Class Warrior&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

I was speechless."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;McLucas, a supervisor at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield, Texas, had displayed the 3-by-5-foot flag in the office she shares with the hospital’s three other supervisors. McLucas said one of her colleagues, a woman who immigrated to the United States from Africa 14 years ago, complained about the flag to upper management, and the hospital decided to take down the flag.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"I was told that as long as my flag offended one person, it would be taken down," McLucas said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;She said the hospital told her that the American flag flying outside the building would have to suffice. "I was told, ‘There is a flag hanging out front, everyone can see that one. Is that not enough?’"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;No, she said, that wasn't enough.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"It is more than I can even fathom, that you would find the American flag offensive, in America," McLucas said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A Kindred Healthcare spokeswoman did not return calls for comment. Kindred issued a press release stating, “Kindred Hospital Mansfield has a great deal of appreciation for the service that many of our employees and their families have given to their country. We honor our veterans and active military through a variety of benefits and service programs. This was an isolated incident between two employees that we are working to resolve amicably.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The statement went on to explain: “The disagreement was over the size of the flag and not what it symbolized. We have invited the employee to put the flag back up.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And it will go back up and stay up, McLucas said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"I do think they're trying to do the right thing.

So Shona mortgaged her home and came&lt;br /&gt;to the United States for immediate treatment -- that saved her life.&lt;br /&gt;It's powerful...and frightening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;When you hear the politicians in Washington talk about the idea of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; "fixing" our health care, do you know what it could mean for&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; you and your family?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; *Government between you and your doctor---with government regulations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; "guiding" your assigned doctor's decisions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Medical treatments denied if you, or a loved one, are deemed too old&lt;br /&gt;or chronically ill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Long waits for life-saving treatments and even longer lines for basic&lt;br /&gt;medical procedures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We at &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.PatientsUnitedNow.com"&gt;Americans for Prosperity Foundation&lt;/a&gt; have launched a project&lt;br /&gt;called Patients United Now (&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.PatientsUnitedNow.com"&gt;PatientsUnitedNow.com&lt;/a&gt;) to educate patients&lt;br /&gt;like you and your parents and your children and other loved ones&lt;br /&gt;exactly on what's at stake in this health care policy debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are three key action items you can take to stop a Washington&lt;br /&gt;takeover of health care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sign up on our website and join Patients United Now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spread the message---forward the TV ad to a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Share your personal health care story online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Patients United Now team is traveling the nation telling the truth&lt;br /&gt;about what a government takeover of health care will mean for all of&lt;br /&gt;us.

A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident, I reattached them and two years later he won a gold medal in track and field events at the Olympics."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The third surgeon said, "You guys are &lt;i&gt;amateurs&lt;/i&gt;. Several years ago a woman was high on drugs and she rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's hair and the horse's ass.

So whom ever Mr. Wall is ...I want to hire him!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DIVORCE AGREEMENT&lt;br /&gt;THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG&lt;br /&gt;PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.&lt;br /&gt;OUTSTANDING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists,&lt;br /&gt;Marxists, Obama supporters, et al:&lt;br /&gt;We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and&lt;br /&gt;go our own way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a model separation agreement:&lt;br /&gt;Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides&lt;br /&gt;can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy!&lt;br /&gt;Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both&lt;br /&gt;sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are&lt;br /&gt;welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU, and abortion clinics. Since you&lt;br /&gt;hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.&lt;br /&gt;You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical&lt;br /&gt;companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless,&lt;br /&gt;homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms&lt;br /&gt;and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to&lt;br /&gt;invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the  peaceniks, and war&lt;br /&gt;protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help&lt;br /&gt;provide them security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam,&lt;br /&gt;Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N., but we&lt;br /&gt;will no longer be paying the bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can&lt;br /&gt;take every Subaru station wagon you can find..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.&lt;br /&gt;We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We'll keep&lt;br /&gt;The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be&lt;br /&gt;happy to substitute I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the&lt;br /&gt;World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up&lt;br /&gt;poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history,&lt;br /&gt;our name and our  flag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like&lt;br /&gt;minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit&lt;br /&gt;delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us&lt;br /&gt;will need whose help in 15 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John J.

Entitled “Strengthening America’s Competitiveness through Common Academic Standards,” the hearing could foreshadow a serious threat to the freedom of homeschoolers nationwide and America’s constitutional tradition of limited government.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;While not connected with any bill yet proposed in Congress, the U.S. representatives on the committee dedicated the hearing to the discussion of a plan to potentially eliminate virtually all state control over the education system, and centralize education in Washington, D.C. through nationalized standards, which would lead to nationalized curriculum tests, and textbooks.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The committee heard from various expert witnesses. Some, like Ken James, who is the commissioner of education for the Arkansas Department of Education, stressed that any plan should not be mandatory, or require the federal government to establish its own national standards: “First and foremost, this is a voluntary, state-led effort to establish a common core of standards across the states. Let me be clear, this is not an effort to establish federal standards,” said Mr. James.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Other expert witnesses, however, seemed to desire the federal government to be more involved in establishing academic standards, and possibly even testing and curricula. One witness, David Levin, who is the co-founder of KIPP Schools, made an ambiguous comment at the end of his testimony that left HSLDA wondering if he wanted Congress to regulate all education: “Before the Civil War, when talking about our country people would say, ‘The United States are….’ After, it became ‘The United States is….’ It is time that we do the same in education and adopt one set of common standards.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Other witnesses called for “common national standards that are rigorous and relevant,” and urged Congress to take action. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In the face of these calls, HSLDA is closely monitoring Congress’s actions. If groups of states on their own want to establish common standards for public schools, that is one thing. HSLDA firmly believes that educational decisions should be left up to the states and local school boards, not Washington, D.C. However, we believe that any attempts by Congress to create nationalized standards, curriculum, or testing would be unconstitutional, and harmful to students and families. Homeschool families have demonstrated that parents, not bureaucrats in Washington, best know their children and what they need to learn.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Congressman Buck McKeon (CA), the ranking member on the House Education and Labor Committee recognized this when he said during the hearing, “Some people in Washington seem to think that the federal government created the states to administer its far-reaching programs and policies. But that’s not the case. History tells us that the states created the federal government.” &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Congressman Mark Souder (IN) also shared his concerns about calls for Congress to create national standards. He asked some of the witnesses, “By the way, how do homeschoolers fit into this? How do Christian schools fit into this? How do colleges fit into this?” His question was never answered. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Mr. Souder soundly called any plans for centralized top-down education “a straitjacket which will be politically manipulated,” which will be exploited by special interests, and which will not advance education, but rather “advance whatever the political agenda is of those who are in power.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;For the past several decades, America’s education system has become more centralized and more disconnected from parents and local control. This has weakened academic quality as the federal government’s grip on the education system grows tighter. Local control over education is always better than centralized federal control. We are extremely concerned by any calls for nationalized standards, especially since it is unclear what room would be left for educational freedom, or how homeschoolers will be affected. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;HSLDA urges you to contact your representative, as well as the representatives on House Education and Labor Committee, and tell them to oppose any calls for nationalized stabdardsm testing, or curricula. You can find your representative on HSLDA’s &lt;a href="http://capwiz.com/hslda/home/"&gt;Legislative Toolbox&lt;/a&gt;.

And lawmakers in the Big Sky State have rebelled against federal control of everything from wetland protection to the national Real ID system.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;Under the new law, guns intended only for Montana would be stamped “Made in Montana.” The drafters of the law hope to set off a legal battle with a simple Montana-made youth-model single-shot, bolt-action .22 rifle. They plan to find a “squeaky clean” Montanan who wants to send a note to the ATF threatening to build and sell about 20 such rifles without federal dealership licensing.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;If the ATF tells them it’s illegal, they will sue and take the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if they can.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar measures have also been introduced in Texas and Alaska.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;“I think states have got to stand up or else most of their rights are going to be buffaloed by the administration and by Congress,” said Texas state Rep.

The court found that since marijuana produced in California is indistinguishable from pot grown outside the state, the federal government must have the authority to regulate both to enforce national drug laws.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;Randy Barnett, the lawyer and constitutional scholar who represented the plaintiff in the California case, said that Montana could argue that its “Made in Montana”-stamped guns are unique and sufficiently segregated as to lie outside federal regulation.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;Supporters of the measure say the main purpose is not extending gun freedoms, but curbing what they regard as an oppressive interpretation of the interstate commerce clause and federal overreach into such things as livestock management and education.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Firearms are inextricably linked to the history and culture of Montana, and I’d like to support that,” said Montana state Rep.

isn't top of my list of favorite people in the world, BUT when Bozeman had the gas explosion he was here didn't go to a renaming ceremony he was scheduled to be at, he went to where there was a tragedy.  And now he did what is right not maybe his political counterparts said he should do...he did was was right for the people of Montana.  For this I say thank you Brian for not letting your own political agenda get in the way just because you are democrat, but looked out for our state, please continue to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It’s a gun bill, but it’s another way of demonstrating the sovereignty of the state of Montana,” Democrat Schweitzer said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House Bill 246, the Montana-made gun bill, cleared the Legislature easily before reaching the governor’s desk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its supporters next plan to find a “squeaky clean” Montanan who wants to send a note to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives threatening to build and sell about 20 rifles without federal dealership licensing. If the ATF says it’s illegal, the gun bill’s backers plan to file a lawsuit in federal court with the goal of launching a legal showdown that lands in the U.S. Supreme Court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Montana Shooting Sports Association, which drafted the bill, has said it will raise the money to pay for any legal costs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It doesn’t cost us any money and I like guns,” Schweitzer said after signing the bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I like big guns, I like little guns, I like pistols, I like rifles, and I would like to buy a gun that’s made in Montana,” Schweitzer said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rest of the mid April article in the &lt;a href="http://www.helenair.com/articles/2009/04/16/legi/top/65st_090416_statesrights.txt"&gt;Helena paper&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-7735345573083845249?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/7735345573083845249/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/gov-brian-schweitzer-on-new-mt-gun-law.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7735345573083845249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7735345573083845249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/gov-brian-schweitzer-on-new-mt-gun-law.html' title='Gov Brian Schweitzer on the new MT gun law'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-7517812108239452599</id><published>2009-05-08T06:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-08T07:08:00.670-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Laws'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guns'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Montana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Political'/><title type='text'>Montana Firearms Freedom Act</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;WOOHOO WTG MONTANA!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok now that I said that. and noticing there isn't a lot of national news on our new fabulous law yes I am blogging on it so there is more in the google search! Yes I am pleased with the new Montana law it is needed to protect our states citizens from the Federal Government's BS anti gun laws trying to be passed.  I hear Texas is in the process of passing similar law to our new gun law here in MT.  I am pleased to hear this since TX is my birth state and a pending state in which we could end up in for medical attn for our daughter.  Too bad they don't have permn license plate options like we have here in MT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am sure there are many upset over our new law, but guess what....MT does not want people like you here in our state! If you want the Fed running your life go back to CA,NY,MA or DC. MT wants people that take responsibility for their own lives and defense! If you want to be sheep, go ahead.  We aren't the only state with this law others are now pending...Montana just happened to have the balls to go first!  Now if the rest of the state legislatures will stand up and be counted, maybe the nuts in Washington will begin to get the message and be backed down..Obama is forcing a revolution as much as he is pushing this recession into full swing.  This law re-affirms the 2nd, 9th and 10th amendments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The state of Montana has signed into power a revolutionary gun law. I mean REVOLUTIONARY. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The State of Montana has defied the federal government and their gun laws. This will prompt a showdown between the federal government and the State of Montana . The federal government fears citizens owning guns. They try to curtail what types of guns they can own. The gun control laws all have one common goal - confiscation of privately owned firearms.  I am guessing this is one of those challenges Obama is not liking;0)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Montana has gone beyond drawing a line in the sand. They have challenged the Federal Government. The fed now either takes them on and risks them saying the federal agents have no right to violate their state gun laws and arrest the federal agents that try to enforce the federal firearms acts. This will be a world-class event to watch. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Montana could go to voting for secession from the union, which is really throwing the gauntlet in Obama's face. If the federal government does nothing they lose face. Gotta love it...win win in Montana's court. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Important Points - If guns and ammunition are manufactured inside the State of Montana for sale and use inside that state then the federal firearms laws have no applicability since the federal government only has the power to control commerce across state lines. Montana has the law on their side. Since when did the USA start following their own laws especially the constitution of the USA , the very document that empowers the USA . &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Silencers made in Montana and sold in Montana would be fully legal and not registered. Now this was added in there more as a political issue I am sure as the law even mentions the screws and such to hold the gun together.  I laughed at first, but then realized they were trying to cover all gray areas the best they could. Silencers were useful tools for gun enthusiasts and hunters. &lt;/p&gt;There would be no firearm registration, serial numbers, criminal records check, waiting periods or paperwork required. So in a short period of time there would be millions and millions of unregistered untraceable guns in Montana . Way to go Montana!  I am sure just like the no speed limit we use to have regulations will be put into affect at some point for guidelines so to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;Let us see what Obama does. If he hits Montana hard they will probably vote to secede from the USA. The governor of Texas has already been refusing Federal money because he does not want to agree to the conditions that go with it and he has been saying secession is a right they have as sort of a threat. Things are no longer the same with the USA. Do not be deceived by Obama acting as if all is the same, it is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/billhtml/HB0246..htm" href="http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/billhtml/HB0246.htm" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;Text of the New Law&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:10;color:black;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:13;color:black;"  &gt;HOUSE BILL NO. 246&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INTRODUCED BY J.

Short title.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; [Sections 1 through 6] may be cited as the "Montana Firearms Freedom Act".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Section 2. Legislative declarations of authority.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The legislature declares that the authority for [sections 1 through 6] is the following:&lt;br /&gt;(1) The 10th amendment to the United States constitution guarantees to the states and their people all powers not granted to the federal government elsewhere in the constitution and reserves to the state and people of Montana certain powers as they were understood at the time that Montana was admitted to statehood in 1889. The guaranty of those powers is a matter of contract between the state and people of Montana and the United States as of the time that the compact with the United States was agreed upon and adopted by Montana and the United States in 1889..&lt;br /&gt;(2) The ninth amendment to the United States constitution guarantees to the people rights not granted in the constitution and reserves to the people of Montana certain rights, as they were understood at the time that Montana was admitted to statehood in 1889. The guaranty of those rights is a matter of contract between the state and people of Montana and the United States as of the time that the compact with the United States was agreed upon and adopted by Montana and the United States in 1889.&lt;br /&gt;(3) The regulation of intrastate commerce is vested in the states under the 9th and 10th amendments to the United States constitution, particularly if not expressly preempted by federal law. Congress has not expressly preempted state regulation of intrastate commerce pertaining to the manufacture on an intrastate basis of firearms, firearms accessories, and ammunition.&lt;br /&gt;(4) The second amendment to the United States constitution reserves to the people the right to keep and bear arms as that right was understood at the time that Montana was admitted to statehood in 1889, and the guaranty of the right is a matter of contract between the state and people of Montana and the United States as of the time that the compact with the United States was agreed upon and adopted by Montana and the United States in 1889.(5) Article II, section 12, of the Montana constitution clearly secures to Montana citizens, and prohibits government interference with, the right of individual Montana citizens to keep and bear arms. This constitutional protection is unchanged from the 1889 Montana constitution, which was approved by congress and the people of Montana, and the right exists, as it was understood at the time that the compact with the United States was agreed upon and adopted by Montana and the United States in 1889.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Section 3. Definitions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; As used in [sections 1 through 6], the following definitions apply:&lt;br /&gt;(1) "Borders of Montana" means the boundaries of Montana described in Article I, section 1, of the 1889 Montana constitution.&lt;br /&gt;(2) "Firearms accessories" means items that are used in conjunction with or mounted upon a firearm but are not essential to the basic function of a firearm, including but not limited to telescopic or laser sights, magazines, flash or sound suppressors, folding or aftermarket stocks and grips, speedloaders, ammunition carriers, and lights for target illumination.&lt;br /&gt;(3) "Generic and insignificant parts" includes but is not limited to springs, screws, nuts, and pins.&lt;br /&gt;(4) "Manufactured" means that a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition has been created from basic materials for functional usefulness, including but not limited to forging, casting, machining, or other processes for working materials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Section 4. Prohibitions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; A personal firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Montana and that remains within the borders of Montana is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of congress to regulate interstate commerce. It is declared by the legislature that those items have not traveled in interstate commerce. This section applies to a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured in Montana from basic materials and that can be manufactured without the inclusion of any significant parts imported from another state. Generic and insignificant parts that have other manufacturing or consumer product applications are not firearms, firearms accessories, or ammunition, and their importation into Montana and incorporation into a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition manufactured in Montana does not subject the firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition to federal regulation. It is declared by the legislature that basic materials, such as unmachined steel and unshaped wood, are not firearms, firearms accessories, or ammunition and are not subject to congressional authority to regulate firearms, firearms accessories, and ammunition under interstate commerce as if they were actually firearms, firearms accessories, or ammunition. The authority of congress to regulate interstate commerce in basic materials does not include authority to regulate firearms, firearms accessories, and ammunition made in Montana from those materials. Firearms accessories that are imported into Montana from another state and that are subject to federal regulation as being in interstate commerce do not subject a firearm to federal regulation under interstate commerce because they are attached to or used in conjunction with a firearm in Montana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Section 5. Exceptions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; [Section 4] does not apply to:&lt;br /&gt;(1) A firearm that cannot be carried and used by one person;&lt;br /&gt;(2) A firearm that has a bore diameter greater than 1 1/2 inches and that uses smokeless powder, not black powder, as a propellant;&lt;br /&gt;(3) ammunition with a projectile that explodes using an explosion of chemical energy after the projectile leaves the firearm; or&lt;br /&gt;(4) a firearm that discharges two or more projectiles with one activation of the trigger or other firing device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Section 6. Marketing of firearms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; A firearm manufactured or sold in Montana under [sections 1 through 6] must have the words "Made in Montana" clearly stamped on a central metallic part, such as the receiver or frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Section 7. Codification instruction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; [Sections 1 through 6] are intended to be codified as an integral part of Title 30, and the provisions of Title 30 apply to [sections 1 through 6].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Section 8. Applicability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; [This act] applies to firearms, firearms accessories, and ammunition that are manufactured, as defined in [section 3], and retained in Montana after October 1, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.ernesthancock.com/" href="http://www.ernesthancock.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ernest Hancock's website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Georgia','serif';color:black;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Georgia','serif';color:black;"  &gt;Offered by John C.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-7517812108239452599?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/7517812108239452599/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/montana-firearms-freedom-act.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7517812108239452599'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/7517812108239452599'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/montana-firearms-freedom-act.html' title='Montana Firearms Freedom Act'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-1900973453426029978</id><published>2009-05-06T07:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-06T08:18:54.395-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pregnancy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Teenagers'/><title type='text'>Bristol Palin</title><content type='html'>Bravo Bristol!!!

The actual philosophy of the Holy Bible: Liberal Edition is therefore up for debates. One group of Liberal Christians say that there is no Liberal Bible philosophy, while the other group made up their own Liberal Bible Philosophy, yet like &lt;a title="Atheism" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Atheism" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Atheists&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; these Liberal Christians are brainwashed swine who believe in &lt;a title="God" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/God" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;God&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by telling the world that he does not exist. This section of the article has been rewritten a dozen times and blanked at least twice as much as a result of these two waring factions of Liberal Christians. Yet it has produced a series of books being made into a movie called &lt;a class="extiw" title="wikipedia:The Golden Compass (film)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Compass_%28film%29" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366bb;"&gt;"The Golden Compass"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in which Liberal Atheists prove that God does not exist, by first acknowledging that God exists and deserves to be killed (because &lt;a title="Santa Claus" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Santa_Claus" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Santa Claus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; didn't give Lyra a pony for Christmas, and the little girl raises an army to fight God by making a dimensional portal into the afterlife, just because she was on Santa's naughty list that year for throwing temper tantrums at her parents when they told her to go to sleep at 9pm and she wanted to stay up until 3am to watch watershed/porno shows on Cable TV instead. Then she travels north to look for Santa Claus, but finds polar bears in armor instead, who used to work for Coca Cola, and drinking all of that soda made them mean and mad at God. Then other people called Gyptians join her, along with Demons from &lt;a title="Satan" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Satan" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Satan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; himself who also does not exist, to go to a city fortress that does not exist and open up a dimensional portal to the afterlife which does not exist. To kill &lt;a title="God" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/God" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;God&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, ignoring the fact that God/&lt;a title="Jesus" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jesus" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Jesus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; died over 2000 years ago and came back from the dead anyway.) Liberal Christians, then agree with the Liberal Atheists and support Hollywood to make the movie based on the books. It sure ticks off those Fundies and Conservatives, though. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a id="Liberal_Origin_of_Life" name="Liberal_Origin_of_Life" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Liberal Origin of Life &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;In Genesis, &lt;a title="Athe" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Athe" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Athe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; creates Adam and Eve and others from &lt;a title="Evolution" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Evolution" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Evolution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and uses Abiogenesis to create life from inorganic matter using random chance. This is how the first man and woman evolved. It was an &lt;a title="Unintelligent Design" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Unintelligent_Design" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Unintelligent Design&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Athe, and not some sort of &lt;a title="Intelligent Design" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Intelligent_Design" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Intelligent Design&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. In fact, Genesis 11:30 states "&lt;a title="Intelligent Design" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Intelligent_Design" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Intelligent Design&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; isn't real, you are all &lt;a title="Moron" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Moron" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;morons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for believing this lie!" and that Liberals should go out and get Evolution promoted in schools as the truth, especially in the &lt;a title="Kansas" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Kansas" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Kansas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; state in the United States. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Also Genesis 12:36 states "It was Adam and Eve, but it also could be Adam and Steve or Anna and Eve, marriage is between two consenting adults, including same sex marriages, anyone who believes otherwise is a homophobe." Which seems to be the original of the Liberal view on &lt;a title="Gay marriage" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Gay_marriage" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Gay marriage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Homosexuals" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Homosexuals" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Homosexuals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a id="Differences_From_Orthodox_Christianity" name="Differences_From_Orthodox_Christianity" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Differences From &lt;a class="new" title="Orthodox Christianity (page does not exist)" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Orthodox_Christianity&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ba0000;"&gt;Orthodox Christianity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a title="Greek" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Greek" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Orthodox&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Christians teach that &lt;a title="Necrophilia" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Necrophilia" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;necrophilia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is fun, while Liberal Christians say that sex with anything is fair game and fun. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Orthodox Christians claim that reason is &lt;a class="new" title="Useful (page does not exist)" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Useful&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ba0000;"&gt;useful&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to some degree, yet reject any conclusions that conflict with the Bible, despite its &lt;a title="Obvious" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Obvious" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;obvious&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; flaws as a scientific text. Liberal Christians allegedly like to talk about the Bible teaching that insects have four legs, though "insect" is a modern taxonomical classifcation with few precedents in the ancient world. &lt;b&gt;LC'&lt;/b&gt;s also like to say that Orthodox Christians believe the &lt;a title="World" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/World" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;world&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is only six thousand years &lt;a title="Old" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Old" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;old&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This is based on hundreds of thousands of Orthodox Christians claiming &lt;a class="new" title="Exactly (page does not exist)" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Exactly&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ba0000;"&gt;exactly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that. Nevertheless, some Orthodox Christians, who recognise that the Bible does not explicitly state an age, choose to ignore a large &lt;a title="Body" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Body" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of their more fundamentalist cousins. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Orthodox Christians claim to think &lt;a title="Logic" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Logic" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;logically&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; about the Bible, but they really just reject parts that don't cater to their desires. Many liberal Christians do the exact same thing. So, there is no actual difference. &lt;a title="Nobody cares" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Nobody_cares" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Never mind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Orthodox Christians, ignoring the vast bulk of &lt;a title="Human" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Human" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;human&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; history, teach that God will &lt;a class="new" title="Punish (page does not exist)" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Punish&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ba0000;"&gt;punish&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; people just for fun as in the biblical smitings with &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Disease" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Disease" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;disease&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, prolapsed colons, and defilement. They believe that &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Infinite" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Infinite" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;infinite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; punishment for limited transgressions is an aspect of goodness, and that God really hates punishing people, but still does it to those who have the gall to think that such a policy is a load of &lt;a title="####" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/####" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;####&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Liberal Christians believe that this type God is &lt;a class="new" title="Petty (page does not exist)" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Petty&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ba0000;"&gt;petty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, violent, and less just than &lt;a class="new" title="Your parents (page does not exist)" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Your_parents&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ba0000;"&gt;your parents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. They also insist that God made people &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Cannibal" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Cannibal" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;cannibal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in the Bible. Orthodox Christians believe that the latter is very clear on the point that some people ate their babies of their own free will, and can't fathom the concept of anyone disagreeing with them. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Orthodox Christians believe that &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Jeebus" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jeebus" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Jeebus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was God Incarnate, and said, &lt;i&gt;"No one comes to the Father but by Me."&lt;/i&gt; They believe that implies that only one &lt;a title="Religion" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Religion" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;religion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is &lt;a title="True" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/True" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;True�&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. They are utterly unable to explain why they believe that similar quotes from the &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Qur'an" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Qur%27an" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Qur'an&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, or other scriptures are not equally authoritative. (See the discussion on reason, above). They believe that those &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Ignorant" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Ignorant" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;ignorant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of the True� religion, God will allow them to enter the upper &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Atmosphere" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Atmosphere" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;atmosphere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from "baptism of desire." If they reject it, an infinitely just and loving God (i.e., the one professed by Orthodox Christianity) will &lt;a title="Torture" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Torture" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;torture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; them forever for rejecting Truths� that run contrary to all known physical laws. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Liberal Christians believe that Jesus was a cool guy and the savior of mankind and all, but don�t go as far as the Orthodox Christians when it comes to damning all those who don't appreciate his progressiveness (though they do claim all followers of Karl Rove will be damned). &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Orthodox Christians believe that only one version of these can be right, and obviously believe that the Bible supports the Orthodox Christian doctrine. Liberal Christians therefore found that it was necessary to create a new Bible, more suited to our &lt;a title="Modern" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Modern" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;modern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; sensibilities regarding &lt;a title="Love" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Love" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a title="Justice" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Justice" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;justice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and our desire to have a &lt;a title="Great Permissive Dude in the Sky Who Lets Us Do Whatever We Want" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Permissive_Dude_in_the_Sky_Who_Lets_Us_Do_Whatever_We_Want" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Great Permissive Dude in the Sky Who Lets Us Do Whatever We Want&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Liberal Christians stole and ate your &lt;a title="Baby" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Baby" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;baby&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Orthodox Christians believe that making fun of Liberal Christians is totally in &lt;a title="Line" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Line" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;line&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with what Jesus would have done. According to Orthodox Christians, in a lost chapter of the &lt;i&gt;Book of Mark&lt;/i&gt;, Jesus once came across a group of Greeks who were trying to start a new Roman democracy and said, "Ha ha, you losers! I bet you will try to guarantee equal rights to all, too! &lt;a title="Gay" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Gay" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;####&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, your nation will one day crumble under its own hypocrisy!" Everyone knows that Jesus votes &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Republican" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Republican" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Republican&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; because he allowed &lt;a title="George W. Bush" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/George_W._Bush" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;George W. Bush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to serve out two terms as US President despite Bush being very unpopular with the liberal Public. Even more proof can be found in the book of Revelation where Jesus comes back to Earth, and takes over the world by having a foreign policy of overthrowing governments he disagrees with and calls evil, and setting his own people up in positions of power that mimics &lt;a title="George W. Bush" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/George_W._Bush" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;George W. Bush's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; foreign policy. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Orthodox Christians believe that Jesus will come back and rid the world of evil. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Liberal Christians believe that &lt;a title="John Kerry" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/John_Kerry" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;John Kerry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a title="Al Gore" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Al_Gore" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Al Gore&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; can come back and rid the world of evil. If not, then some other random liberal politician who got his/her political butt kicked by an unpopular neocon will come back and rid the world of evil. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a id="Modern_version_of_the_Holy_Bible:_Liberal_Edition" name="Modern_version_of_the_Holy_Bible:_Liberal_Edition" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Modern version of the Holy Bible: Liberal Edition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div class="thumb tleft"&gt; &lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"&gt;&lt;a class="image" title="Read this book to learn how to be a liberal and serve God." href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/File:Pathlyingforlefties.png" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img class="thumbimage" alt="" src="http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/4/40/Pathlyingforlefties.png/180px-Pathlyingforlefties.png" border="0" height="226" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt; Read this book to learn how to be a liberal and serve God.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Recent &lt;a title="Change" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Change" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; were made to the book, to make it easier on the eyes and easier to understand. The average modern &lt;a title="Liberal" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Liberal" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Liberal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has the &lt;a title="IQ" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/IQ" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;IQ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of Potato Salad, so the whole book had to be rewritten into a more modern, &lt;a title="Simple" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Simple" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;simpler&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and revised format. It sums everything up to under &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="100" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/100" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; pages, and most of them are pictures. It includes &lt;a class="new" title="Hint (page does not exist)" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Hint&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ba0000;"&gt;hints&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and tips as well as examples. It helps to explain how to be a modern liberal, and how to take advantage of &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Technology" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Technology" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;technology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and the media. It outlines the &lt;a class="new" title="Marketing plan (page does not exist)" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Marketing_plan&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ba0000;"&gt;marketing plan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that librals need to follow when communicating with the unwashed masses of the public. It guides liberals in their quest for power, by learning how to grab attention by any means possible. It has forwards by &lt;a title="Cindy Sheehan" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Cindy_Sheehan" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Cindy Sheehan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="Michael Moore" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Moore" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Michael Moore&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="John Kerry" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/John_Kerry" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;John Kerry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="Al Gore" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Al_Gore" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;Al Gore&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and many other famous liberals. It is written to help you, and others, learn to get in touch with their liberalism in a more modern format. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Use it against those &lt;a title="God-Fearing Republicans" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/God-Fearing_Republicans" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;heathens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a title="Christianity" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Christianity" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;infidels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; out there who speak out against our holy book and way of life. Learn to unleash that liberal power that is inside of you, and shine your &lt;a title="Light" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Light" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;light&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; into the world to expose the &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Darkness" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Darkness" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;darkness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. After all, it is only our opinions and views that matter, as we are the chosen people of the planet and we deserve to be in power. This new modern version of the book also comes in audio tapes and &lt;a title="CD" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/CD" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;CDs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, for those of us who cannot read. It has been a favorite of many &lt;a title="Prison" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Prison" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;prisons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and hotels, replacing the &lt;i&gt;Gideon's Bible&lt;/i&gt; and other books in the best seller list. Read it every day and learn the &lt;a title="Truth" href="http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Truth" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#002bb8;"&gt;truth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, preach and convert others over to our side. Live up to your potential by reading this book. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Obama’s first 100 days in office. The piece makes a nice enough frame for evaluating whether the Obama’s hoped-for spin matches reality.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama is a promise-keeper?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Obama undoubtedly would like this storyline, but the Politico did not come up with any examples of it. Obama has kept a few promises; he has given things to the abortion lobby, &lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1873794,00.html?imw=Y" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;usually late on Friday evenings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; when he hopes no one will notice. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, it is fairly easy to compile a larger list of promises Obama has broken or is breaking. Many of those broken promises are just fine with the Right — &lt;a href="http://washingtonindependent.com/35170/nyt-wakes-up-to-obamas-surprising-flexibility-on-the-rule-of-law" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Obama has adopted the Bush adminsitration’s positions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on lawsuits over “torture,” warrantless wiretapping, state secrets and policies the powers that allow the president to indefinitely detain suspected terror supporters. The administration is negotiating &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/27/world/middleeast/27withdraw.html?_r=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;possible exceptions to the June 30 deadline for withdrawing American combat troops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from Iraqi cities (as he should, given that his retreatist rhetoric worked against his own stated goals). Obama has &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/04/22/obama-reversing-himself-on-columbian-trade-pact/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;flip-flopped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on the free-trade pact with Colombia and &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/02/20/video-the-latest-nafta-dance/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;NAFTA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Even before he was elected, he &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1208/16292.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;broke his promises&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to immediately repeal tax cuts for the wealthy and take on Big Oil (though one suspects they are still on his “to do” list).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Other broken promises will tend to bother only the Right, like the &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/01/28/the-democratic-porkfest-bill-of-2009/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;abandonment of his inaugural pledge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to end ineffective government programs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Still other promises Obama has broken are more troubling — and not just to the Right. The adminsitration that promised transparency has shrouded some of its signature inititives in secrecy. The Obama Administration is &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/04/23/great-news-porkulus-accountability-just-as-good-as-tarps/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;not policing its stimulus spending &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;for waste, fraud and abuse, &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/03/20/obama-violating-law-on-tarp-oversight/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;not doing the legally-required oversight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of TARP funds and &lt;a href="http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2009/03/fed-rescue-programs-no-exit.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;not providing information to the Congressional Oversight Panel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on TARP. Attorney General Eric Holder promised looser standards for Freedom of Information Act requests, but the &lt;a href="http://www.rcfp.org/newsitems/index.php?i=10677" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;lawsuits seeking information about the administration’s bailout programs are piling up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general overseeing the TARP, has already opened &lt;a href="http://money.cnn.com/2009/04/21/news/economy/tarp_cop_barofsky/index.htm" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;20 criminal investigations and six audits&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; into whether tax dollars are being pilfered or wasted.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama is a game-changer?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is actually &lt;em&gt;two&lt;/em&gt; of the Politico’s entries. In discussing Obama as promise-keeper &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; game-changer, VandeHei and Harris write:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;The White House is pushing back against what it realizes is a dangerous perception that Obama may be trying to do too much, too fast — and cynically exploiting the economic crisis to push through unrelated agenda items…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;***&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The White House is worried that the public does not sufficiently grasp Obama’s view that his ideas fit together in a coherent strategy to force massive change in government, the financial sector and, ultimately, people’s lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is small wonder Obama is having a tough time pushing this line. &lt;a href="http://patterico.com/2009/03/11/obama-and-the-too-much-too-soon-syndrome/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;His own supporters do not buy it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The establishment media does not buy it (as the Politico itself notes). &lt;a href="http://patterico.com/2009/04/20/obamas-budget-the-honeymoon-and-the-morning-after/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Democrats in Congress do not buy it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, either. Obama’s own party has rolled him on any number of issues, supposedly in return for healthcare reform. The Democrats now &lt;a href="http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_treatment/archive/2009/04/24/reconciliation-now-has-a-date-october-15.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;threaten to railroad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; it through the budget reconciliation process, but the lack of money and the Byrd Rule provide plenty of leverage against it. Meanwhile, &lt;a href="http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/ezraklein_archive?month=04&amp;amp;year=2009&amp;amp;base_name=what_was_traded_in_return_for" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Lefties are already worried&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; about what &lt;em&gt;else&lt;/em&gt; Obama gave up to get healthcare in budget reconciliation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Has Obama been a game-changer on the world stage? &lt;a href="http://patterico.com/2009/04/21/pres-obamas-fantasy-foreign-policy/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Obama’s diplomatic overtures have been rejected&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by the European Union, NATO, Russia, North Korea, Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Iran and much of Latin America. Obama’s unprecedented disclosure of CIA operational methods is already &lt;a href="http://patterico.com/2009/04/22/why-jump-on-obamas-fantasy-foreign-policy/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;degrading US intelligence collection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; around the world. That might be game-changing, but not of the sort Obama wants the press to publicize.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama is the decider?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Not too long ago, a president pushing the idea that he was “the decider” would have been mocked by the media, but whatever. The Los Angeles Times and The Politico point to Obama’s White House confrontation with bank executives as an example of his bold style. However, the result of Obama’s bullying — as well as his handling of the AIG bonuses issue — is that &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20090416-712942.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;banks are now trying to leave the TARP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The administration has also had problems getting lenders to participate in the &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/22/AR2009042203638.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/04/22/the_end_of_democratic_capitalism_96101.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Public-Private Investment Program&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; because lenders have lost any trust that Obama and the Democratic Congress will not change the rules in midstream for reasons of political expediency.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama’s not in the bubble?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Politico notes that ABC, The Washington Post and The New York Times have already done stories about how the president reads 10 letters from ordinary Americans every day. (Presumably, none of them are from Joe the Plumber, who was villified and investigated by local authorities for the crime of asking then-candidate Obama a question about his proposals.) There is considerably less media coverage when his &lt;a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/03/27/obama_town_hall_questioners_we.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;“town hall” meetings are packed with pre-selected Obama supporters &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(much like his predecessor), or when he &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21696.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;spends more time schmoozing celebrities than either Bush or Clinton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (and seeking policy advice from them). &lt;a href="http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/gordon/59681" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Elkhart, Indiana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which has the country’s highest unemployment rate, would be crushed by Obama’s policies on energy and the environment. In South Carolina, &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/25/AR2009042501870.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#800080;"&gt;ordinary Obama supporters are exhausted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and losing patience with his agenda. When &lt;a href="http://patterico.com/2009/04/15/the-left-does-not-care-about-you-peasants/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans organize protests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of his policies, the White House would prefer not to acknowledge it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama is not FDR&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Obama is FDR!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Politico reports that the Obama administration knows “there is a danger in investing too much in an essentially bogus journalistic convention that supposes Obama can reshape Washington and the world in 100 days,” but “White House aides make clear they love the New Deal analogies.” That conflict reflects a certain level of narcissism — one that seems to flow from the very top.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama is one cool cucumber?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Really? In reality, Pres. Obama gets &lt;a href="http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/03/barack-obamas-p.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;testy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; whenever the press starts asking uncomfortable questions. He &lt;a href="http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/01/were-not-keeping-score-but/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;cut off a joint presser in Britain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, just like he walked out on one &lt;a href="http://www.suntimes.com/news/huntley/830209,CST-EDT-hunt07.article" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;during the campaign&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Obama certainly tries to project the image of cool, but this could turn into a liability. People may have laughed when &lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/03/16/aig-aint-it-gag-worthy/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Obama could not muster convincing fauxtrage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; over the AIG bonuses, but the White House later found itself in a scramble to stay ahead of the genuine — if misplaced — anger on the issue. Obama’s reputation may also cast doubt on the claim that he was &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/04/27/smart-power-pentagon-freaks-out-new-york-with-low-altitude-fly-by/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;“furious”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; after an Air Force One lookalike and two F-16s buzzed the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor Monday morning. If the economy does not recover in a reasonable timeframe, more people will start seeing him as aloof, not cool.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s Missing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The press narratives selected by the Politico are… selective. Other storylines abound. For example, the media will likely not address Obama’s failure at basic executive tasks, like staffing his administration. Obama is heading into its first medical outbreak &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21719.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;without a secretary of Health and Human Services or appointees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in any of the department’s 19 key posts. There were difficulties planning the G20 summit because &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/cabinet-chief-obama-team-unreachable-1642088.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;every senior post in the US Treasury Department was vacant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, with the exception of Secretary Timmy Geithner. Speaking of whom, Geithner reminds us of the large number of scandal-plagued nominees that emerged from &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/02/05/hope-and-change-another-cabinet-appointee-with-tax-problems/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;Obama’s apparently flawed vetting operation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Again, these are stores that get glossed over during a president’s honeymoon, but will be remembered if future events are not to Obama’s favor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After 100 days of &lt;a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/04/27/network-news-programs-devote-half-broadcast-hours-obama" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;unprecedented, saturation media coverage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Pres. Obama finds himself with an &lt;a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/04/23/obama_nears_100_average_approval__ultra-polarizing___96141.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;average level of public approval&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that masks how &lt;a href="http://patterico.com/2009/04/17/obama-polarizes-while-the-media-whitewashes/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;deeply polarized&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that public opinion is. Rest assured, that is not on any list of what the White House wants reporters to write about Pres. Obama’s first 100 days in office. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-8466574731988218205?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/8466574731988218205/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-obama-does-not-want-you-to-read.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/8466574731988218205'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/8466574731988218205'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-obama-does-not-want-you-to-read.html' title='What Obama does not want you to read'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-4534260801530298523</id><published>2009-04-28T10:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T10:42:07.322-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Political'/><title type='text'>Specter Intends to Switch Political Parties</title><content type='html'>My guess is he has been nothing more than a RHINO anyhow and never truly conservative!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Specter Intends to Switch Political Parties&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Sources say veteran GOP Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania intends to switch parties .&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Veteran GOP Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania intends to switch political parties and run in the Democratic primary in 2010, FOX News has confirmed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"I deeply regret that I will be disappointing many friends and supporters," Specter said in prepared remarks to be delivered at a news conference on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"I can understand their disappointment," he continued. "I am also disappointed that so many in the party I have worked for for more than four decades do not want me to be their candidate. It is very painful on both sides."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The switch puts Democrats within two votes of a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Democrats currently hold 56 seats in the Senate, and two independents typically vote with the party. Republicans have 41 seats, and there is one vacancy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/28/source-specter-intends-switch-political-parties/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/28/source-specter-intends-switch-political-parties/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-4534260801530298523?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/4534260801530298523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/specter-intends-to-switch-political.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/4534260801530298523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/4534260801530298523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/specter-intends-to-switch-political.html' title='Specter Intends to Switch Political Parties'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-100344998456605369</id><published>2009-04-28T09:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T09:02:48.338-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='neil boortz'/><title type='text'>100 Days what has he done</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntry" id="entry-33822"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryHeader"&gt; &lt;h2 class="blogEntryTitle"&gt;&lt;a href="http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2009/04/100-days-what-has-he-accomplis.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;100 DAYS: WHAT HAS HE ACCOMPLISHED?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryMeta"&gt;I asked this question all day yesterday, and I will ask it again today. Then, to make sure you are completely bored, I will ask it again tomorrow. I will continue to ask it until somebody gives me a freaking response. For all the hoopla surrounding Obama's approaching 100th day in office, what has the man accomplished? Seriously, folks. I want someone to answer the question.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryContent"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryBody"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now the Democrat National Committee will tell you that Obama has "laid a foundation for change." Big deal. Fidel Castro "laid a foundation for change" in Cuba in the late '50s. When in the world are people going to understand that its not the change that is important .. its what you're changing into. From my Obama's change has been all about changing a society based on individualism, liberty and self-sufficiency into one based on collectivism, soft tyranny and government dependence. If that's what you voted for .. well then that's just what you're going to get. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Back to the Democrat National Committee. They have a good bit of cash lying around ... so they decided to spend some on brushing up Obama's image. &lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/04/27/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry4970999.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#800080;"&gt;The committee has produced a television ad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to promote Obama's accomplishments during his first 100 days! Wow! This ought to be pretty sensational! We're getting this straight from the source! So here is what the Democrat National Committee says that Obama has accomplished:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;-He signed the economic recovery act (the stimulus bill)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-He signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-He signed a bill for the State Children's Health Insurance Program&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-He has outlined plans to "invest" in areas like healthcare, energy and education&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there anything that stands out to you about this list? Here's something to think about ... how many of these acts or bills or plans do anything to decrease the size, scope or spending of the federal government? Another question ... which one of these great and glorious accomplishments actually enhance freedom in America? The answer would be none. &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Obama's greatest accomplishments have been promising change and growing our government.&lt;/span&gt; For a liberal, this probably makes Obama a very accomplished president. Obama isn't the only person out there who believes that America's greatness comes from government.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As I told you yesterday .. the people who are going to be most affected by Obama's first 100 days in office are people who are not in a position to comment on the job he's done thus far. These people are your children and your grandchildren. Save all of these articles and columns praising Obama for his rock star status and "hipness" ... let them see how cool future generations think it is to be paying of a massive debt brought on by a inexperienced bit-government leader who gained power on the basis of a slogan. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Speaking of rock stars .........&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryFooter"&gt;&lt;a href="http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2009/04/obama-the-rock-star-1.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;OBAMA THE ROCK STAR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryFooter"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntry" id="entry-33821"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryHeader"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryMeta"&gt;The articles pouring out of the lamestream media about Obama's first 100 days are priceless. I was serious, folks, about making a little scrapbook for your children. Yesterday I hope you had the chance to read the article about Obama being our "hippest" president. Today, we get &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iosTtJBI9PGt4P0TuEXzLzoTU4-Q" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;this article from the American Free Press: Obamas rock and rule&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Let me just give you a taste of what this has to offer ....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryContent"&gt; &lt;div class="blogEntryBody"&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Fans swooning over the First Family's every move, wall-to-wall media coverage and one pampered pooch: the Obamas are the planet's hottest rock stars busy revamping the image of the US presidency.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the 100 days since President Barack Obama and his family arrived in the White House there has been no sign of any let-up in the Obamania which swept the globe during the 2008 campaign.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Rather it has moved to the next level.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Tweenie girls now pin posters of the Obama's daughters, Malia, 10 and Sasha, seven, to their bedroom walls and fantasize about joining White House sleepovers and becoming BFFL -- best friends for life -- with the First Kids.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Magazine editors fight for the coolest image of the new president and his wife, Michelle, whether digging in the new organic garden, showing off their honed muscles, or romping with the First dog, Bo ... &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And even though the United States is in the grip of its worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s, it seems the Obamas can do no wrong .... &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Washingtonians have been lapping it up. Restaurants graced by the Obamas, see seats booked up for weeks ahead afterwards.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Kids are clamoring to get onto basketball teams in the hope that they will bump into one of the girls, and by extension their parents. And suddenly frumpy, staid old Washington is cool again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is what Americans wanted from their president, and they got it. The American Idol, YouTube, Entertainment Tonight voters of this country wanted a president that would look really cool on the cover of magazines, so they voted for the guy. They knew nothing about how he would represent our country to foreign leaders, no concept of his desires to radically grow our government, nothing. As I said before, your children will pay the price for this obsession with having a rock star for a president.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-100344998456605369?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/100344998456605369/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/100-days-what-has-he-done.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/100344998456605369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/100344998456605369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/100-days-what-has-he-done.html' title='100 Days what has he done'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-959940700008482269</id><published>2009-04-28T07:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T08:42:30.304-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guns'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='House Bills'/><title type='text'>URGENT Congress is going to vote</title><content type='html'>Congress is moving closer to a showdown over the largest expansion of government in modern U.S. history -- a bill which would require virtually every single American to buy government-approved health insurance, whether they wanted it or not.  And, in the process, that bill would feed all of your most confidential medical data into an enormous database, which could be used to take away your guns. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a bit complicated.  But here's where we are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once a year, the 1974 Budget Act allows Congress to pass a bill -- solely for the purpose of balancing the budget -- and that bill cannot be filibustered in the Senate.  Hence, it can be passed with only fifty Democrat votes (plus the vice president), without any Republican support. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, that supposed "budget-balancing bill" is called the "reconciliation bill" -- and it can only be created if the annual budget resolution mandates it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gunowners.org/a042709.htm" target="_blank"&gt;http://gunowners.org/a042709.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4449102657557427359-959940700008482269?l=politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/feeds/959940700008482269/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/urgent-congress-is-going-to-vote.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/959940700008482269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4449102657557427359/posts/default/959940700008482269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalviewsandnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/urgent-congress-is-going-to-vote.html' title='URGENT Congress is going to vote'/><author><name>Renee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13008383058383716770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SVb-mObyJeI/AAAAAAAAJKs/KSOoXwKMCxk/S220/IMGP0160rs.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449102657557427359.post-927239860394482414</id><published>2009-04-27T21:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-27T21:41:05.155-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Photos'/><title type='text'>New Fav Photo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SfaIekFlnAI/AAAAAAAAJuc/S4GXEtpa5qg/s1600-h/imarepublican.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tw4dXHqJLE8/SfaIekFlnAI/AAAAAAAAJuc/S4GXEtpa5qg/s400/imarepublican.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329597267704126466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Says it all if you ask me.

It appears that&lt;br /&gt;Obama wants to use international treaties to do what congressional&lt;br /&gt;legislation is not able to do: further restrict the right of the American&lt;br /&gt;people to keep and bear arms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is using the oft-disproved contention that "90% of the guns recovered&lt;br /&gt;in Mexico come from the United States" as the stated basis of his support&lt;br /&gt;for the international treaty he is promoting. The treaty is formally known&lt;br /&gt;as the Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and&lt;br /&gt;Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives and Other Related Materials&lt;br /&gt;(CIFTA) treaty. The Bill Clinton administration signed the treaty back in&lt;br /&gt;1997, but the U.S. Senate has never ratified the treaty. Obama intends to&lt;br /&gt;change that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To date, 33 nations in the western hemisphere have signed the treaty. The&lt;br /&gt;U.S. is one of four nations that have yet to ratify it. According to one&lt;br /&gt;senior Obama administration official, passing the treaty is a "high&lt;br /&gt;priority" for the President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If ratified, the treaty would require the United States to adopt "strict&lt;br /&gt;licensing requirements, mark firearms when they are made and imported to&lt;br /&gt;make them easier to trace, and establish a process for sharing information&lt;br /&gt;between national law enforcement agencies investigating [gun] smuggling."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator John Kerry, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee promises to&lt;br /&gt;"work for its [the CIFTA treaty's] approval by the Senate."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should the Senate ratify CIFTA, Americans who reload ammunition would be&lt;br /&gt;required to get a license from the government, and factory guns and&lt;br /&gt;ammunition would be priced almost out of existence due to governmental&lt;br /&gt;requirements to "mark" each one manufactured. Even the simple act of adding&lt;br /&gt;an after-market piece of equipment to a firearm, such as a scope or bipod,&lt;br /&gt;or reassembling a gun after cleaning it could fall into the category of&lt;br /&gt;"illicit manufacturing" of firearms and require government license and&lt;br /&gt;oversight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, CIFTA would authorize the U.S. federal government (and open the&lt;br /&gt;door to international entities) to supervise and regulate virtually the&lt;br /&gt;entire American firearms industry. Making matters worse is the fact that, as&lt;br /&gt;a treaty, this Act does not have to be passed by both houses of Congress,&lt;br /&gt;nor is it subject to judicial oversight. All Obama needs to do in order to&lt;br /&gt;enact this unconstitutional and egregious form of gun control is convince a&lt;br /&gt;Democratic-controlled Senate to pass it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, the United Nations, from its very inception, has been one of the&lt;br /&gt;world's most ardent gun control proponents. As anyone who has ever driven by&lt;br /&gt;the U.N. building in New York City knows, a huge statue of an American-made&lt;br /&gt;revolver with its barrel twisted in the shape of a pretzel greets every&lt;br /&gt;visitor. The CIFTA treaty is one of the U.N.'s pet projects in order to&lt;br /&gt;achieve this long-held ambition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Obama is a longtime liberal radical when it comes to the Second&lt;br /&gt;Amendment. As a senator, he voted against the Second Amendment at every&lt;br /&gt;opportunity. He has never seen a piece of gun control legislation that he&lt;br /&gt;did not support. And as I have said before in this column, gun control is&lt;br /&gt;high on the list of priorities for the newly elected President Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Obama to intimate that 90% of the firearms used by Mexican drug cartels&lt;br /&gt;come from the United States reveals either a truly dishonest and deceptive&lt;br /&gt;mind or a totally misinformed and na�ve one. Many studies have thoroughly&lt;br /&gt;debunked the 90% myth, including one by William La Jeunesse and Maxim Lott&lt;br /&gt;in a recent Fox News report. According to these researchers, the real number&lt;br /&gt;is closer to 17%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to La Jeunesse and Lott, Mexican drug cartels, which control&lt;br /&gt;billions of dollars, obtain the overwhelming majority of their guns from the&lt;br /&gt;Black Market, Russian crime syndicates, South America, China, Guatemala, and&lt;br /&gt;even from the Mexican army.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, Mexico is a virtual arms bazaar: AK-47s from China; fragmentation&lt;br /&gt;grenades from South Korea; shoulder-fired rocket launchers from Spain,&lt;br /&gt;Israel and former Soviet bloc dealers; assault weapons from China; and&lt;br /&gt;explosives from Korea--just to name a few sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, according to Mexican Congressman Robert Badillo, more than&lt;br /&gt;150,000 Mexican soldiers have deserted in just the last six years. The vast&lt;br /&gt;majority of them took their weapons with them, including the standard issue&lt;br /&gt;M-16 assault rifle made in Belgium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And please do not forget that corruption within the Mexican government is&lt;br /&gt;rampant. Many news sources have covered stories of how drug cartels bribe&lt;br /&gt;Mexican officials. An article in the New York Times last year reported, "One&lt;br /&gt;of Mexico's most notorious drug cartels made huge cash payments to officials&lt;br /&gt;in the Mexican attorney general's office in exchange for confidential&lt;br /&gt;information on anti-drug operations . . . the cartel might have had an&lt;br /&gt;informant inside the American embassy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mexican drug cartels control a multi-billion dollar enterprise that has&lt;br /&gt;more than enough resources to obtain planeloads of weapons from all over the&lt;br /&gt;world. For Obama to assert that 90% of the Mexican drug cartels' firearms&lt;br /&gt;come from the United States is a bald-faced lie! Again, either Obama is&lt;br /&gt;stupid and na�ve or he is deliberately lying to the American people in order&lt;br /&gt;to "sell" the CIFTA treaty to the U.S. Senate. I think we all know that Mr.&lt;br /&gt;Obama is anything but stupid and na�ve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more about the CIFTA treaty at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://gunowners.org/a042109.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the CIFTA treaty, liberal Chicago Democrat Congressman Bobby&lt;br /&gt;Rush has introduced H.R. 45 in the House of Representatives. This bill is&lt;br /&gt;anything but subtle. It is an in-your-face gun control bill that would make&lt;br /&gt;"Mr. Gun Control," the late Senator Howard Metzenbaum, shout Hallelujah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;H.R. 45 would require a federal license for all handguns and semiautomatics,&lt;br /&gt;including the ones you already possess. It would require handgun and&lt;br /&gt;semi-auto owners to be thumbprinted at a police station and sign a&lt;br /&gt;certificate that the gun will not be kept in a place where it could be used&lt;br /&gt;for the defense of the gun owner's family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more about H.R. 45 at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://gunowners.org/hr45ana.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all likelihood, H.R. 45 is probably a long shot at passing both houses of&lt;br /&gt;Congress, albeit gun owners should never take any proposed gun control bill&lt;br /&gt;for granted. The CIFTA treaty, however, is much more dangerous due to its&lt;br /&gt;subtlety and subterfuge, the less cumbersome process of passage, and the&lt;br /&gt;fact that it makes U.S. gun owners subject to international gun control&lt;br /&gt;laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, freedom in America is on the Obama White House chopping block.&lt;br /&gt;And this much is certain: if the American people do not retain the right to&lt;br /&gt;keep and bear arms, every other freedom we hold dear will quickly disappear&lt;br /&gt;as well. Moreover, if we do retain the right to keep and bear arms, it will&lt;br /&gt;only be because enough of us--and our state and federal legislators--resist&lt;br /&gt;the tyrannical gun control machinations of Barack Obama. And that means&lt;br /&gt;defeating the CIFTA treaty and H.R. 45.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*If you appreciate this column and want to help me distribute these&lt;br /&gt;editorial opinions to an ever-growing audience, donations may now be made by&lt;br /&gt;credit card, check, or Money Order.

The first case was seen in Mexico on April 13. The outbreak coincided with the President Barack Obama's trip to Mexico City on April 16. Obama was received at Mexico�s anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archeologist. . . . . &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;who died the following day from symptoms similar to flu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bio-Weapon!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On April 22, &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/22/missing.virus.sample/index.html?iref=newssearch" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336688;"&gt;CNN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; reported that viruses from the U.S. Army Bioweapons Lab at Fort Detrick, MD had gone missing.

Especially because it has an avian strain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;By late night on April 22 the trouble in Mexico had grown. 1,000 flu cases had been reported in Mexico City and 60 people had already died.
