Veteran's Day

2010-11-11T08:18:00.000-06:00

It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag. - Father

Hand-to Hand Combat, Mr. President? Bring It On!

2010-10-09T10:01:00.000-05:00

President Obama recently urged his supporters to do "everything we can do to make sure our folks turn out" on Election Day 2010. If they lose control of Congress, he warned, "That means we are going to have hand-to-hand combat up here on Capitol Hill." Mr. President, you and the 111th Congress have completely ignored the American people and have chosen to focus on YOUR radical socialist agenda.

The Socialization of America Must Be Stopped

2010-10-07T08:22:00.000-05:00

America's socialists are uniting - more than most of us realize. Saturday's "One Nation" rally in Washington, DC, was billed as a major event and was attended by representatives from virtually every leftist organization operating in America. Groups like the People's Organization for Progress, Progressive Democrats of America, Planned Parenthood, and People for the American Way were there. Many

The ObamaCare Lie

2010-10-02T05:43:00.002-05:00

Remember the promise President Obama made about your medical insurance plan: "If you like what you've got, you can keep it"? It has now been revealed that it's not true for the employees of as many as eighty percent of America's small businesses. Remember when the President promised, "No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions"? That proved to be deception achieved through clever use of

Mr. Obama, I Thank You!

2010-09-23T07:13:00.003-05:00

Dear Mr. Obama, I would like to extend a thank you for the following: Numerous violations of the Constitution A health care bill the public did not want Lying about the contents of said health care bill Cap and Trade A current budget that is unsustainable A national debt that puts future generations at risk Taking over businesses A stimulus bill that did not work Nominating a socialist justice

Has the USA become Bizarro World?

2010-09-22T08:10:00.003-05:00

If any of you are familiar with Bizarro World comics introduced in the 1960's, or if you saw "The Bizarro Jerry' episode of Seinfeld, you will recognize immediately the comparison that will be presented herein. In Bizarro World, everything is opposite. In the Bizarro world of "Htrae" ("Earth" spelled backwards), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code which states "Us do opposite of all Earthly

The Importance of Voting

2010-09-13T07:50:00.001-05:00

Voting in any type of election, from local to national elections, provides an important way to voice your opinions regarding elected leaders and overall policies; voting also helps you decide your own future by electing a person who might reflect your own views. The ability to vote exists as one of the most cherished Constitutional rights that many fought for, marched for, and died for over the

The Day The Towers Fell

9/11 - Terry Jones: Deal or No Deal?

2010-09-10T06:22:00.001-05:00

Terry Jones, the fundamentalist pastor, who has been in the news lately for planning a Koran burning event tomorrow, will instead fly to New York in attempt to broker a deal over the Ground Zero mosque in return for canceling his threat to burn the Koran. The Florida evangelist has claimed that he is holding brinkmanship talks to stop a Muslim cleric’s plans to build a mosque near the site of

Yet Another Program, Mr. President?

2010-09-07T09:32:00.001-05:00

Well, Obama has now proposed another program to improve our roads, rails, and runways. He isn't calling it a stimulus program since the term "stimulus" is a dirty word in politics after the previous fiasco that failed to produce any lasting jobs and has put our country on the edge of bankruptcy and beholden to China for most of the money in that original plan. This really is a stimulus

Obama: United States Violates Human Rights

2010-09-04T07:27:00.001-05:00

"A sense of disappointment, bordering on betrayal, has been growing across the country...The fear most often expressed is that Obama is taking the country somewhere they don't want to go...The entire American spirit is being broken." -Michael Scherer, Times Magazine As you may know, President Obama recently released a scathing report to the United Nations Human Rights Council detailing the "

Virtue Triumphs in Alaska

2010-09-01T07:45:00.001-05:00

Congratulations to Joe Miller, the winner of the Republican primary for US Senate in Alaska. He fought an uphill battle against incumbent Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski conceded to Miller last night, one week after the primary. This result has left many in the media and the establishment astonished. Senator Murkowski carries the 'R' in front of her name, but she, like a few other Republicans, is a

Sharia Law In The United States

2010-08-21T06:57:00.002-05:00

A court in Saudi Arabia is seeking medical advice on whether it is possible to cut the spinal cord of a man as a punishment after he was indicted of causing paralysis to another man. The defendant is charged with having caused paralysis to the victim after severing his spine with a cleaver during a fight. The victim is insisting the courts give his attacker the same treatment for his punishment.

"Vote of No Confidence" Campaign

2010-08-19T06:16:00.001-05:00

Barack Obama is flying around the country endorsing Democrats and campaigning with a rehashed message of "hope." Although this theme worked for him two years ago, Americans are fast losing any remaining confidence they may have had in his leadership. There are many reasons behind the political implosion of the Obama presidency. Americans are increasingly rejecting Obama's non-specific campaign

A Country of Precedents

2010-08-18T06:29:00.002-05:00

The paragraph below is from a well known, classical work of fiction that I read many years ago and was now enjoying for the second time. For whatever reason, it struck a chord as to the state of our current legal system. “No law of that country must exceed in words the number of letters in their alphabet, which consists only in two and twenty. But indeed few of them extend even to that

Harry Reid's Social Security Lie

2010-08-17T08:33:00.001-05:00

Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, can certainly lie with a straight face. Maybe it comes with years of experience of political spinning. In 2005, Senator Reid proclaimed that the Social Security Crisis exists only in the minds of Republicans. Really, Senator? On 7/9/10, Senator Reid, said on "Face To Face With John Ralston, “People have to stop badmouthing Social Security. Social Security

Barack Hussein Obama, We Know

2010-08-15T07:39:00.005-05:00

Speaking to a gathering at the White House Friday evening to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Obama said that he believes "Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This

Dear Mr. Obama, May I Respond

2010-08-13T06:50:00.001-05:00

I received this email from Barack Obama yesterday, as did millions of other Americans. My response follows the letter. *** Eighteen years ago, shortly after graduating from law school, I helped lead a voter registration campaign in Chicago that generated record turnout on Election Day. That experience taught me one of the most important lessons I ever learned as a community organizer: When

The Name of the Game is Subversion

2010-08-11T08:12:00.001-05:00

On Oct. 30, 2008, Barack Obama announced that upon winning the presidency, he would immediately begin, "fundamentally transforming the United States of America." Over the past 20 months, Obama and his accomplices in the ultraliberal 111th Congress have been hard at work pushing statist "change." But now their plan has been exposed and the tide is turning against them. Last Tuesday, the citizens

Proper Names for Improper People

2010-08-09T07:21:00.005-05:00

The Obama Duo... Michelle Obama's official title is First Lady. I'm discarding that immediately. First Woman maybe, but not First 'Lady', for the term implies grace and dignity, something I can't apply to Michelle.World Traveler on Taxpayer Dollars Michelle is returning from her "girl's holiday" trip to Spain. This trip included friends, and children of friends, and an entourage which

Our Unalienable Rights Being Replaced?

2010-08-08T06:41:00.004-05:00

Today's article features another article named, "Too Many Rights on the Left". When I saw the title, I thought it would be about too many Republicans 'reaching across the aisle' to effect the degradation of this country. (Revisit the senators in the previous article). Indirectly it probably is, but the purpose of the article is to address our unalienable rights being replaced with imagined

The Confirmation of Elena Kagan

2010-08-07T07:05:00.003-05:00

Today Elena Kagan will be sworn in as justice on the highest court of the land...a sad day for America. Her lack of judicial experience and her political agendas should have deemed her as unqualified. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., said he voted against Kagan's confirmation because of his concerns about her judicial philosophy and lack of judicial experience. "As I read about Ms. Kagan's

EPA To Crack Down On Farm Dust?

2010-08-03T06:45:00.002-05:00

Today's article doesn't just border on the ridiculous, it is the heart of ridiculous. When I first started reading about this, I thought it had to be an internet hoax. No, it really is our government at work.Yesterday I wrote about the restrictions and regulations of gas fireplace logs and shower heads. Now the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to crack down on farm dust. This is not

Do You Know?

2010-08-02T07:04:00.000-05:00

Some interesting tidbits that many Americans have given little or no attention:Obamacare’s 2000-plus pages created about 160 new agencies and boards with regulatory power. The Department of Health and Human Services just published 864 pages of regulations to govern electronic medical records.Health czar, "Dr. Death" Donald Berwick’s bureaucracy will have a budget that is larger than the Defense

RINOs, Step Aside

2010-08-01T06:31:00.001-05:00

The majority of people in the United States support the following 25 issues. You may not personally agree with all of them, but whatever candidate stood before us with this list as his/her goals would be providing a U-turn in the treacherous direction in which the country is headed. 1. Uphold and protect The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. 2. A smaller Federal government. Cut by at

Will The Rising of Grassroots America Be Enough?

2010-07-30T06:11:00.001-05:00

I felt it necessary to feature the following article. The radical left seems hell-bent on destroying America. They are adding new puppets, but as you might expect, George Soros is again the puppet master.

2010-07-27T05:22:00.002-05:00

You can kiss 4th Amendment protections against illegal search and seizure goodbye. Those protections no longer exist. Your home is no longer your castle. It is the government’s domain to do as they will. Jack-booted thugs can come on your land, come into your home with guns drawn, search your home at will and make a shambles of it, take what they want, write you up for alleged violations and

Lindsey Graham Needs a New Line of Work

2010-07-25T06:56:00.002-05:00

Sitting in his seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Lindsey Graham decided to vote in favor of moving the nomination of Elena Kagan, President Obama’s nominee to the United States Supreme Court, out of committee. Senator Graham says that elections have consequences and this is why he crossed over and voted with the Democrats. In other words, he is saying that because President Obama

Financial Reform Bill Is A Front

2010-07-23T07:35:00.002-05:00

The recently signed Financial ‘Reform’ Bill doesn’t reform. If Obama and this congress really wanted to reform anything in the financial world, why did they completely ignore Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? They were directly responsible for most the problems in the mortgage industry, yet they are completely unaffected by this bill. The bill supposedly helps 1 billion in mortgages. Sounds great,

Desperation Sends Out The First Lady

2010-07-20T07:32:00.004-05:00

Yesterday I received an email titled "Prevention" from First Lady Michelle Obama. (The entire email is below). She begins with 'Friend' - not Dear Friend, just 'Friend'. That set tone for the "Who does she think she is?" thoughts that permeated my mind while reading her personal note to me...and millions of other 'friends'. First of all, Michelle, you don't know me. I am not your friend and

Some Truths About ObamaCare

2010-07-19T05:28:00.004-05:00

I never renewed my membership to AARP since they are little more than a special interest insurance group who doesn't really act like they give a damn about senior citizens. However, I still get their monthly magazine until my existing membership expires. There was an interesting article in the most recent issue written by Representative Eric Cantor (Rep. - VA) who is the U.S. House of

Removing Our Freedoms, Word by Word

2010-07-18T06:09:00.002-05:00

Obama administration officials, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, no longer speak of supporting “freedom of religion.” Instead, they now speak of “freedom of worship.” These are two very different concepts. (-AP) "The Obama administration seems to have decided that other policy initiatives -- outreach to Muslim governments, obtaining China's cooperation, advancing gay rights -- would

Shrewdly Designed To Lull Us Into Totalitarianism

2010-07-16T08:19:00.002-05:00

If you were President of the United States and determined to change our system of government to one of a Marxist-based coercive regime you would recognize the need to do so without seeming to do so. That’s what is happening now under Barack Obama. To achieve his goal of transforming our system of government he would need to do so without alarming the public that they are about to become

Improving the Roadmap For America's Future

2010-07-15T06:18:00.005-05:00

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) recently came out with a “new road map” for Republicans. (Link to website in "Liberty Links" in left column). It deals mostly with suggestions for fixing the economy, and how can you not love that, after watching the anti-capitalistic, corrupt, destructive schemes of the current Democratic regime? With all due respect, I would like to offer an addendum to Mr. Ryan’s

Everything you own and hold dear is on the table, your way of life and possibly even your life. Will you hold to the principles founded on teachings of the Bible that our founders advocated? The principles and traditions which made America the greatest country on earth. A country which has made more advances in medicine, technology, has done more to eradicate poverty, and has freed more people

The Census Another Constitutional Infringement

2010-07-12T05:57:00.002-05:00

The press releases and advertisements tell us that the 2010 census is a national “civic event.” By answering just ten questions in ten minutes you “help determine how more than $400 billion in federal funds are distributed.” And if you are lucky enough to receive the more intrusive American Community Survey — formerly the census long form — you allegedly assist in everything from job training

Mr. President, Uphold Your Oath of Office

2010-07-10T09:32:00.002-05:00

Every time the President speaks, makes another appointment or ramrods a new bill through the democratically controlled congress, he reinforces what millions of Americans now feel; this President does not love America. With Arizonans cringing in fear even hundreds of miles from the border from the aftermath of brutally murdered ranchers and border police, we might expect any other President to

4th Amendment Violations

2010-07-09T05:35:00.003-05:00

What ever happened to our ‘right to privacy’? The ‘control’ wagons continue to circle and many in the U.S. masses are distracted by the empathy words, crises responses and manipulated national security and environmental needs. We see several deceitful and manipulated techniques, designed to direct what we do and know what we do. First of all we see the radical and progressive agenda as

Berwick Snuck in While the Halls of Congress Are Vacant

2010-07-08T06:17:00.003-05:00

Yesterday President Obama officially made Donald Berwick his recess appointment to be the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Yes, yet another unpresidential act by the president while the halls of Congress are vacant. So let's talk about this new appointee. In a 2008 while speaking on the British health care system in the UK, Berwick said wealthy individuals must

A Socialist on The High Court? Part One

2010-07-07T06:20:00.002-05:00

by Cliff Kincaid Elena Kagan’s controversial “Final Conflict” thesis on socialism was written in 1981 when she was 21 years old. Professor Harvey Klehr, an expert on the socialist and communist movements, told me that while he sensed “a lurking sympathy” in the document for the left-wing of the Socialist Party, he didn’t find a “red flag” that would derail her nomination. Kagan’s thesis covered

“The American Dream” by Emmet Fox The task which each American has before him is to realize the American Dream in his own life, to the utmost that he is able, by making himself personally free; free in body, and soul, and spirit.
