The Scriptorium

One of the scientists involved in climategate admits he has contemplated suicide since e-mails were hacked and made public that implicate him in a cover up of data that doesn’t support theory of man caused global warming.

He told the Sunday Times that he had thought about killing himself “several times”. He acknowledged similarities to Dr David Kelly, the scientist who committed suicide after being exposed as the source for a BBC report that alleged the government had “sexed up” evidence to justify the invasion of Iraq.

In emails that were hacked into and seized upon by global-warming skeptics before the Copenhagen climate summit in December, Jones appeared to call upon his colleagues to destroy scientific data rather than release it to people intent on discrediting their work monitoring climate change.

Jones, 57, said he was unprepared for the scandal: “I am just a scientist. I have no training in PR or dealing with crises.”

Unprepared for the scandal? I think he means he was unprepared for getting caught manipulating data and destroying evidence in order to continue using the farce that is global warming as a political tool. It’s really sad when a scientist thinks he needs training in “PR for dealing with a crisis” that arose out of a succession of lies and deception. Very little real science is done anymore, in my opinion. It’s all about politics, pushing a liberal agenda, and control now.

Wow! Even some Democrat Congress critters actually understand that announcing a time table for withdrawing our troops from Afghanistan is a bad idea. Apparently some of them are smart enough to know that the Taliban watches the news, too. I’m sure Achmed and his buddies did a happy dance around their internet feed when Obama announced in the same sentence, his plans to spend months positioning our troops in theater, only to turn around and spend months sending them home. He was even kind enough to give them an exact date for their departure. Even an illiterate, blood thirsty terrorist can figure out that hunkering down for a while might be a good move in that situation. Sadly, our hopey/changey Commander in Chief will probably be taken by surprise when we hand over the reigns to the Afghans on the way out the door, and the Taliban promptly comes out of hiding to kill anyone who fought along side the Americans for the last year. Democrats never learn, but I bet the people of Afghanistan have. Pray for our troops.

A mixed message delivered by President Obama about America’s plans in Afghanistan have drawn a mixed reaction from members of the military who shortly may be on the ground receiving and giving orders to fight the Taliban.

Obama’s address last night at the U.S. military academy at West Point outlined plans to place an additional 30,000 troops on the ground in Afghanistan, but he also announced a timetable for removing them.

He now must sell the idea to Congress, which holds the purse strings.

The plan immediately drew concerns from both Democrats and Republicans. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said Obama’s “mixed signals” already have undermined the chances for success of any additional troop deployment.

Even members of the president’s own party were concerned.

“We lied, manipulated the data, and then 86′ed the historical evidence before real scientists could expose us, but there’s a consensus, dang it! Our lies are real, and everyone knows it!!”

The Obama administration is holding tight to their money-making pet climate theories, even though the evidence against “Gorebal” Warming is mounting. I guess we shouldn’t expect liberals to let pesky facts get in the way of their best chance of finally making us all equally poor.

House Republicans pointed to controversial e-mails leaked from climate scientists and said it was evidence of corruption. Top administration scientists looking at the same thing found no such sign, saying it doesn’t change the fact that the world is warming.

Never mind that said scientists flat out admitted they lied to cover up evidence that didn’t fit their global warming malarky. It’s just the rethuglicans that think the “controversial” e-mails are evidence of corruption. They’re just a bunch of flat-earthers, you know. And, that’s not snow! It’s dead polar bear fur!

The e-mails from a British university’s climate center were obtained by computer hackers and posted online about two weeks ago. Climate change skeptics contend the messages reveal that researchers manipulated and suppressed data and stifled dissent, and conservative bloggers are dubbing it “Climategate.”

Silly conservative bloggers. Don’t they know there’s a consensus and the science is already decided? If Columbus had been so dumb, he never would have turned back before he careened off the edge of the earth.

Read the rest here, if you can stand the spin.

Update:
When “oh hu!” doesn’t work, one can always shift the focus to the people who pulled back the curtain and caught you with your long johns down. It’s no big deal when someone hacks a Vice Presidential candidate’s personal e-mail during a campaign, but blowing the whistle on the biggest scandal of the century simply must be a crime worthy of investigating. It’s “e-mailgate”, not climategate, dontcha know.

I hope everyone will try to attend this second Tea Party march on Washington. It’ll be harder for the media to down-play if we add another million to the masses. How will Obama deny any knowledge of the millions gathering in Washington when it’s right outside his front door?

After marching on Capitol Hill with little positive response from lawmakers, America’s tea-party movement is now putting President Obama himself on notice.

The movement is regrouping, planning a march on the White House and premiering a new documentary tonight at the Ronald Reagan Center in Washington, D.C.

FreedomWorks is partnering with the American Liberty Alliance and several other groups to launch a massive Tax Day tea party at the White House Ellipse on April 15, 2010.

“We’re delivering this one right to the White House,” Adam Brandon of FreedomWorks said. “It could spill out over into the Washington Monument, so it’ll be a hell of a visual.”

Looks like the “The One” doesn’t quite have the rest of the world Obamatized, as he does many of the sheep in the U.S. Not only did he not secure the Olympics for Chicago in 1012, but they got the least amount of votes. Not even a bronze for the Narcissist in chief. What did he expect after getting up there and making the Olympic games sound like they were all about HIM and his WIFE, instead of the athletes who are so supposed to be celebrated during the events.

Rio deserved the win. They had their priorities straight as far as who should be recognized and honored at the Olympics, and they actually know how to SAVE money for such an event. Chicago is flat broke, corrupt, and didn’t have the support of the people who live there. It was a no brainer. But, it was fun to watch the media and the Obama entourage feel so sure of themselves to the point of sounding like egotistical royalty.

U.S. President Barack Obama’s politically risky Olympics gamble failed to bring home the gold on Friday, with the Olympics committee’s refusal to grant the 2016 Summer Games to his hometown Chicago.

The president, whose even-tempered personality has earned him the nickname “No Drama Obama,” broke from that mold to make an overnight dash from Washington to Copenhagen to personally lobby for Chicago.

Obama and his wife, Michelle, had taken their star power to the Danish capital to make Chicago’s case, ignoring the carping from Republican opponents who charged it was a bad time to go with foreign policy challenges in Iran and Afghanistan and the U.S. Congress bogged down in a domestic healthcare debate.

“I’m asking you to choose Chicago. I’m asking you to choose America,” Michelle Obama told committee members.

Her husband said, “If you do, if we walk this path together, then I promise you this: The city of Chicago and the United States of America will make the world proud.”

Did Obama ever consider that the judges might be a little confused by that last quote after hearing him apologize all over the world and at the U.N. for the evils of America, making long lists of all the things this country has done wrong in her short history? Apparently not. A simple case of ego getting in the way. The French President was exactly right in saying that this president is woefully naive.

We’ve all seen how many people get arrested at your typical left wing protest, especially during the height of the BDS saturated Bush years. However, on 9/12, when nearly two million conservative leaning Americans gathered in Washington D.C. to protest President Obama, there wasn’t a single arrest. Not one.

So, what does Speaker of the House Pelosi conclude from the civility and human decency displayed at “right wing” protests? At a press conference today, she broke down in tears and warned all of us of the inevitable right wing violence that is just around the corner. Through tears, she recalled the 1970’s protests in San Fransisco that lead to the murder of several state senators, comparing it to the angry voices of today’s anti-Obama “teabaggers”. Can I just say that Nancy Pelosi is an irrational moron. She does, however, have the Alinsky tactic of smearing your opponent and accusing them of being dangerous down pat. I guess she forgot about the property damage, intimidation, and threats that her liberal friends subjected Californians to after the vote on Proposition 8. Just like we’re seeing at the Tea Parties all over the country, right? No?

While many of the far left nutjobs will eat this up and spread it far and wide, I find it hard to believe that the average American is going to buy into the belief that their neighbors and friends are really dangerous terrorists who are going to plunge the United States into chaos. I wouldn’t be surprised, though, if Homeland Security isn’t stepping up their internet surveillance and data mining operations with every idiotic statement like this.

I think I’ve figured out what “civil debate” really means when the Democrats suggest we return to it. It means, shut up unless you agree with the President, and if you criticize any of his policies you’re either a rabid racist, or a home grown terrorist. So much for the First Amendment.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw … I saw this myself in the late ’70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes. “This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and … I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.”

I see. So anyone who disagrees with her must stop being so enthusiastic about their beliefs and join the rest of the sheeple. Keep talking Pelosi. You’ll be the minority leader after 2010.

On the 70th anniversary of Russia’s WWII invasion of Poland, and on the same day a “secret” UN report announces that Iran can now make a nuclear bomb, our Community Organizer in Chief 86′d the Missile Defense system program for Eastern Europe and came up with a new naval based plan that is much more pleasing to the Russians. The Russians are ecstatic that Obama has once again demonstrated U.S. weakness and Obama’s complete ignorance of how to handle international threats. Even some Democrats were amazed that Obama tossed away our only leverage with Russia, which SHOULD have been used to demand that Russia cease and desist all of the military hardware sales and support they are giving Iran to aid them in their pursuit of nuclear weapons. I guess Obama thought giving Russia what it demanded would endear them to us, and they’d suddenly cooperate and tell their ally Iran to take a hike. His naivete is stunning.

Poland is predictably (for those with common sense) angry and offended by this decision. So much so that the Prime Minister of Poland is refusing to take Hillary Clinton’s call. Not only has this weakened us in the eyes of Russia, and angered the only allies who actually supported us with troops during the Iraq war, but it has damaged our credibility. We are now in a position where our promise of protection in return for assisting us militarily means nothing. This means that when Iran gets nuclear weapons, countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia will laugh in our faces when we ask them to rely on us for protection rather than develop their own nuclear arsenals to counter the Iranian threat. Way to create a nuclear arms race in the Middle East Obama. Lord help us if we can’t reign this loose canon in in 2010.

Analysis: Demise of U.S. shield may embolden Russia hawks

Russian diplomacy is largely a zero-sum game and relies on projecting hard power to force gains, as in last year’s war with Georgia over the rebel regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia or the gas dispute with Ukraine at the start of this year.

Western concepts of “win-win” deals and Obama’s drive for 21st century global partnerships are not part of its vocabulary.

Diplomats here say Moscow hardliners could read the shield backdown as a sign of Washington’s weakness. Far from doing the bidding of the United States, they may instead press for further gains to shore up Russian power in the former Soviet bloc.

Ukraine, Georgia and other Kremlin foes in the ex-Soviet Union may be the first to feel the consequences.

Poland and the Czech Republic are also nervous. In Warsaw, the timing of the U.S. move is particularly delicate as it coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of eastern Poland.

Analysts are particularly concerned about Ukraine, which faces a presidential election next January. Most of Russia’s vast gas exports flow through its territory and the country reluctantly hosts a large Russian naval base.

Russia has already rebuked Kiev for its “anti-Russian” stance and refused to deal with President Viktor Yushchenko, tactics which recall those used with Georgia in the period leading up to last year’s war.

Diplomats cite the Crimean peninsula — Russian territory until the 1950s and home to Moscow’s Black Sea fleet as well as thousands of Russian passport-holders — as one potential flashpoint.

In a sign of the level of concern, one senior Western envoy here privately estimated the chances of a Russian military intervention in the Crimea over the next year at 50-50.

Georgia could be another tinder box.

Change we can destroy the world and really heat up the Middle East with.

The Tea Party protest in Washington D.C. today went beyond a huge success! It’s possibly the largest protest to ever rock the Capitol. Naturally, the MSM did it’s best to under report the events and then under estimate the number of protesters. When Democrats protest the numbers get grossly inflated, but when somewhere between several hundred thousand and a million or more protesters converge on Washington, the Press calls it “tens of thousands of people”. WHAT? More like tens of hundreds of thousands. Let us not be discouraged by the Lame Stream Media though. Obama got to fly over the “mob” of “astroturfers” he’s been whining about in every speech lately in Marine One, as he escaped to his own puny rally, and he got to see how huge the opposition to his socialism and over spending is.

Congress better be paying attention. The protest in D.C. was just one of 200 protests that took place around the country, all with equally gratifying turnout. Can you hear us now, Congress? I’m betting they did when the throngs of “Bible totin, clingin to their guns and religion” protesters shouted those words together at the conclusion of todays march on Washington. If they heard that thunderous roar from the streets, they would be wise to pay attention and remember who they work for.

We are indeed headed straight for the End Times folks. With a communist holding the office of President for the United States, the rest of the Marxists are feeling emboldened. The fulfillment of Bible prophecy will likely start moving faster now. No matter what the U.N. does, everyone knows the dollar is on it’s way out, and with it will go the America we didn’t fight hard enough to keep. With China dumping dollars, Russia and Iran working toward moving the sale of oil to a new currency, and Obama printing money as fast as he can, we’ll be using dollar bills as toilet paper soon. They’re creating just the crisis they need to create their economic regions, and then their global government.

The dollar should be replaced with a global currency, the United Nations has said, proposing the biggest overhaul of the world’s monetary system since the Second World War.

In a radical report, the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has said the system of currencies and capital rules which binds the world economy is not working properly, and was largely responsible for the financial and economic crises.

It added that the present system, under which the dollar acts as the world’s reserve currency , should be subject to a wholesale reconsideration.

Although a number of countries, including China and Russia, have suggested replacing the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, the UNCTAD report is the first time a major multinational institution has posited such a suggestion.

In essence, the report calls for a new Bretton Woods-style system of managed international exchange rates, meaning central banks would be forced to intervene and either support or push down their currencies depending on how the rest of the world economy is behaving.

Newsbusters makes a very good point. The New York Times didn’t run any stories on the scandals surrounding Van Jones until after he had been forced to resign. That tells you how woefully uninformed you will be if you depend on the New York Times for your news. That also explains why so many liberals love the New York Times. Facts and information are their enemy. When forced to defend their politics, their only argument, if you can call it that, comes from the emotional rants and the hate filled, Obama loving, anti-American garbage NYT reporters consistently produce.

Van Jones, Obama environmental adviser and “green jobs” czar, resigned late Saturday night, the culmination of days of controversy (ignored by the mainstream media) after the Gateway Pundit blog dug up evidence of Van Jones being a “Truther.” He signed a 911Truth.org petition in 2004 questioning whether the Bush administration “may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen.” And the New York Times does its first story on the matter — the day after Van Jones resigned his administration post.

Last month, the New York Times jumped on the conservative fringe of “Birthers” who question Obama’s Hawaiian birthplace and thus his presidential eligibility, deriding the conspiracy theory as false and demanding prominent Republicans denounce the idea. Yet the Times maintained strict silence on the Van Jones controversy as it bubbled away for several days in the photosphere, with only the Washington Times and Fox News Channel willing to treat as a news story the fact that an influential member of the Obama administration thinks the government may have let 9-11 happen — a far more incendiary charge than the question of Obama’s birthplace.

With the exception of the growing number of good blogs out there, along with talk radio, and Glenn Beck, investigative reporting is dead in America. Never, ever get your news from one source, and investigate everything for yourself.

“Green Jobs” Czar Van Jones resigned yesterday, but I’m sure it wasn’t without pressure from Obama. There is no defense for Van Jones blatant racism and admitted Marxist beliefs, and the administration knew it. A big thank you should go out to Glenn Beck and the bloggers, who were the only ones with the guts to speak up and call a spade a spade. None of the main stream media covered any of the scandal surrounding Van Jones, and they are now predictably trumpeting Van Jone’s whiny claim that he was the victim of lies and smears from a vast Right Wing conspiracy. It’s more than a little ridiculous for Van Jones or the Administration to blame Fox News and the Right wingers when his own words, both written and in video inerviews and speeches, were the only thing used against him.

This is good news, but it’s even more encouraging to me that it seems to have lit a fire under some Republicans, and they are beginning to speak up about these unaccountable and unconstitutional Czars that make up Obama’s shadow government. It’s about time someone is paying attention to this communist tactic. Now let’s get to work getting rid of the rest of the Marxist Czars who running the show at the White House.

The White House environmental adviser under fire for inflammatory statements made before he joined the administration resigned after what he called a “vicious smear campaign against me.”

Van Jones “understood that he was going to get in the way” of President Barack Obama’s agenda, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Sunday.

The resignation was disclosed without advance notice by the White House in a dead-of-the-night e-mail on a holiday weekend. It came as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.

Obama has to be hating this!!

I thought this comment was particularly interesting. Obama should heed this advice.

The Honduras march was led by Roberto Micheletti, who became president when Chavez ally Manuel Zelaya was ousted in a June coup.

“Any politician who tries to stay in power by hitching up with a dictator like Hugo Chavez, he won’t achieve it,” Micheletti said. “We’ll stop him.”

Obama’s first attempt at ramming through socialized medicine legislation has thus far been an abysmal failure. Obama does everything by first creating a crisis, and then using that crisis to scare people into supporting or voting for an enormous amount of debt and risk that they would normally never support (think stimulus bill). What Obama really needs right now is a new crisis.

Of Course Rahm and the rest of his lackeys are trying to put the best face possible on this epic FAIL, but they know they need a miracle to get the job done. Who better than “the Messiah” and his knack for following Allinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” to the letter, to come up with just the scenario that will make desperate people agree to desperate, potentially deadly, and outrageously expensive things. Don’t think for a second that this crisis, this crisis, or this crisis are not good news to the Rats in the White House.

President Barack Obama returns to Washington next week in search of one thing that can revive his health-care overhaul: a sense of crisis.

Facing polls showing a drop in his approval, diminished support from independents, factions within his Democratic Party and a united Republican opposition, Obama must recapture the sense of urgency that led to passage of the economic rescue package in February, analysts said.

“At the moment, except for the people without insurance, we’re not in a health-care crisis,” said Stephen Wayne, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Washington. “You do need a crisis to generate movement in Congress and to help build a consensus.”

Obama speaks to labor leaders on Sept. 7 and to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 9 as he attempts to rebuild support for his top domestic priority, one that affects 17 percent of the economy. Lawmakers, trying to extend coverage to millions of uninsured Americans and rein in costs, are considering mandates on employers to provide coverage, new rules for insurers, and creating a government program to compete with private insurers such as Indianapolis-based WellPoint Inc.

Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said the administration made unprecedented health-care progress in eight months.

Yeah, right. And, now they will need a generated crisis (aka more failed Obama policy damage) to get the support they need. Say, a crisis like….

US families turn to food stamps as wages drop

JOBLESS RATE HITS 9.7%…

Teen rate at 25.5%; Highest level since records kept…

UNEMPLOYMENT HITS 26-YEAR HIGH

And of course Swine Flu

The third ranking Republican in the Senate is calling for Van Jones to either resign or be fired. I’m actually starting to hope Obama keeps him in there. He truly is the gift that keeps on giving…..

9/11 Truther Van Jones Was Arianna Huffington’s Political Director

Arianna Huffington’s liberal gossip site the Huffington Post has been vigorously defending green jobs czar and 9/11 “truther” Van Jones.

It turns out that Jones was Huffington’s grassroots political director when she ran for governor in the 2003 recall election. In fact, Jones, a self-described “communist,” thought Huffington was so wonderful he was part of the effort to draft her to run for office.

Canada Free Press

A 2004 petition recently surfaced accusing the Bush White House of being behind the 9/11 attacks on the United States, and one of the signatures on that petition was none other than Obama’s Green Czar Van Jones. When presented with this evidence of Van Jone’s support for the 9/11 truther movement, he claimed his signature appeared on the petition because he didn’t read the petition carefully enough to know what he was signing. Uh-hu. I’m sure politicians sign petitions all the time without reading them.

Even if we allow Van Jones his lame excuse, it seems he has other ties to the truther movement, and yet another example of Van Jones radical anti-American views that will be a little harder to dismiss.

On Friday a 2002 document emerged in which Jones was on the “organizing committee” of a newspaper called WAR TIMES — “A New, Biweekly, Tabloid Newspaper Opposing the ‘War on Terrorism.’”

The WAR TIMES document asserts that the “world’s most powerful nation has mercilessly bombed Afghanistan and is installing a neo-colonial government of its own choosing, although that country has never attacked the U.S. Millions of Afghans have been displaced and face starvation this winter. The administration has also green-lighted massive Israeli assaults on Palestine, and it threatens to attack Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, and other countries. The agenda seems clear: to remake the world in the rightwing image with little regard for human consequences.”

WAR TIMES’s announcement appeared with the announcement of a protest march demanding a congressional inquiry into whether and how much the Bush administration may have played a role in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

So, what’s Van Jone’s excuse this time?

But a source close to Jones said that “Jones didn’t participate in and wasn’t part of this march at all. He spent a very brief time on the board of the magazine War Times.” The source says no other connections to the Truther movement other than the petition exist.

He seems not to even see the problem with being associated with this anti-American rag, especially as a member of the organizing committee. He expects us to believe he helped organize events and War Times announcements, but didn’t actually believe in what he was supporting and organizing? Lies, lies, and more lies.

UPDATEFurther proof of Van Jones connection to the “truther” movement.

If you’ve been watching Glenn Beck, then you have probably already heard much of the truly scary history behind Obama’s shadow government - the unaccountable, unelected Czars that create policy and have direct access to the President. Beck has done an excellent job of exposing their Communist beliefs and radical, anti-American backgrounds, but one man can hardly keep up with what seems like an endless stream of horror stories, especially in the case of Obama’s “Green Czar” Van Jones.

An interview has now surfaced that records Van Jones slamming the United States and Israel, and vowing his support in a “global struggle” against both countries. So, we have a Czar in the White House who is responsible for creating environmental policy and “green jobs”, whatever that is, who has publicly stated he’s an enemy of the very country he’s now pretending to serve. I’m not really surprised, mind you. Our Communist in Chief stated plainly in his campaign speeches before the election that he planned to totally transform this country into something new. What too many people didn’t know was that his plan has always been to destroy this country, and rebuild it in the image of the communist Russia, China, and Hitler’s Germany. If that sounds over the top, you haven’t been reading about the steps Obama has already been taking toward indoctrinating our children, creating his own version of the Hitler Youth Corp, and his admitted dream of creating a civilian security force larger than our existing military.

Wake up America before there is nothing left to fight for.

Van Jones, Barack Obama’s Green Jobs Czar, produced a record album entitled “WarTimes: Reports from the Opposition” a few years ago that was narrated by convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal and featured a clip of an interview Jones did where he slammed the United States and Israel and proclaimed his stand with a “global struggle” against the United States.

Jones used his Ella Baker Center for Human Rights to found Freedom Fighter Music, the label WarTimes appeared on. WarTimes is also the name of an anti-war-on-al-Qaeda propaganda newspaper Jones helped organize.

The album was unearthed by the website Verum Serum, which posted a YouTube video with highlights of the album.

About three minutes forty-five seconds in to the highlight video, there is a brief interview with Van Jones at an anti-Israel demonstration where Jones criticizes Israel and calls for Palestinian ‘right of return’ then unloads on the United States:

“We see violence against poor people and poor people of color within the U.S. border, at the U.S. border, and beyond the U.S. border and you see U.S. tax dollars funding all of it. And so we have this now global struggle against the U.S. led security apparatus and military agenda that impacts people here and impacts people around the world and I think that we need to see our problems as linked.”

Mumia closes out the album by describing it as a “small tease of the truth about U.S. imperialism’s war on the world.”

The time frame of the album is hard to gauge, but Verum Serum writes that Freedom Fighter Music existed from around 2002-2003 to 2005-2006 and produced maybe two or three albums. The album appears to be from late 2002 or early 2003.

Jones mentioned the label in an interview with USA Today’s USA Weekend magazine published February 9, 2003 that Verum Serum found:

[I understand you have] developed a record label, Freedom Fighter Music.

Jones: Yes, we’ve had one for a little more than a year. Our second CD is coming out this year.

Verum Serum gave a link to an MP3 file of the entire album at Indymedia.

As soon as President Obummer took office, he immediately began attacking Rush Limbaugh, as if Rush represented a larger threat to the nation than the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. Now the Whine House is all “wee weed up” over a new talk show host, and they’re stomping their feet, and whining again because one lone conservative among a sea of liberal boot lickers is actually asking tough questions and presenting unpleasant FACTS about Obama’s Czars, future civilian military, Obamacare, and a host of other programs that will be a disaster for this country if enacted. Glen Beck has been boldly giving his viewers the facts about the Obama administration, and his ratings are going through the roof. His show doesn’t even air during prime time, yet he’s already beat O’Reilly’s ratings more than once in the last week. The White House is understandably nervous about this breach of Obama’s previously unpenetrated journalistic wall of protection. How dare a journalist/talk show host ask actual questions and disagree with The One’s Marxist policies!!

I don’t believe we’ve ever had a president with such thin skin in the White House. Such is the way of the Narcissist, I suppose. It’s unthinkable to them that anyone would disagree with them, be critical of them, or presume to know more than them about anything. They expect adulation, admiration, and awe in the face of their superior intellect and flawless character.

When Obama was a part of the mob that constantly attacked and ridiculed every decision, speech given, or action taken by President Bush, did he think he was unfairly singling out the President? Did he think he was a part of a left wing conspiracy, and a danger to national security? I don’t think so. The hypocrisy and utter cowardice of the current administration and Congressional majority is disturbing to say the least. No wonder Obama is trying to pass legislation that would give him ‘emergency’ control of the internet, and is working feverishly to reestablish the fairness doctrine under the guise of diversity and localism.

This article makes me so angry, I’m at a loss for words (I’ll likely find them, if I keep writing), other than to say, when did our country become Communist China? Next it will be considered child abuse to teach our children about the Bible. America desperately needs to fight back and use the remedies provided in the constitution for getting rid of anti-Christian, bigoted judges! Christians also need to get off their duffs and fight back against this kind of discrimination wherever it exists. It’ll be you and your your children next, so wake up, and speak up!

A 10-year-old homeschool girl described as “well liked, social and interactive with her peers, academically promising and intellectually at or superior to grade level” has been told by a New Hampshire court official to attend a government
school because she was too “vigorous” in defense of her Christian faith.

The decision from Marital Master Michael Garner reasoned that the girl’s “vigorous defense of her religious beliefs to [her] counselor suggests strongly that she has not had the opportunity to seriously consider any other point of view.”

The recommendation was approved by Judge Lucinda V. Sadler, but it is being challenged by attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund, who said it was “a step too far” for any court.

The ADF confirmed today it has filed motions with the court seeking reconsideration of the order and a stay of the decision sending the 10-year-old student in government-run schools in Meredith, N.H.

The dispute arose as part of a modification of a parenting plan for the girl. The parents divorced in 1999 when she was a newborn, and the mother has homeschooled her daughter since first grade with texts that meet all state standards.

In addition to homeschooling, the girl attends supplemental public school classes and has also been involved in a variety of extra-curricular sports activities, the ADF reported.

But during the process of negotiating the terms of the plan, a guardian ad litem appointed to participate concluded the girl “appeared to reflect her mother’s rigidity on questions of faith” and that the girl’s interests “would be best served by exposure to a public school setting” and “different points of view at a time when she must begin to critically evaluate multiple systems of belief … in order to select, as a young adult, which of those systems will best suit her own needs.”

According to court documents, the guardian ad litem earlier had told the mother, “If I want her in public school, she’ll be in public school.”

The marital master hearing the case proposed the Christian girl be ordered into public school after considering “the impact of [her religious] beliefs on her interaction with others.”

In other words, if the government wants your child to be an atheist, they’ll be an atheist. Unless Christians make sure the entire country knows we exist in the form of a MAJORITY, this will become the norm.
Get out of your pews, send money to legal organizations that defend Christians, tell your friends and neighbors what’s really going on in our court rooms, and write or call your state and federal legislators when you see garbage like this. These are just a few of the things you can do. Christians also need to start running for public office, and stop letting liberals control our schools and local governments. Most importantly, know who you’re voting for. That includes judges.

The ACLU completely sickens me. They spy on teachers private lives and try to get them thrown in jail for saying grace at a private function off campus. What is wrong with the evil lawyers at the ACLU?!!!! Praying is not a crime in this country, and they need to step back, read the constitution and remember what country they are living in. They should all be locked up for their harassment and constant attacks on Christians who are exercising their first amendment rights. Thank God for Christian legal non-profit groups who will stand up to these bigoted, communist thugs.

“The wheels
came off the ACLU’s steamroller. While we are pleased with the ruling, we are saddened that a wonderful woman had to spend a day in court, with the ACLU’s crosshairs aimed at her back. Prayer is neither contemptuous nor criminal. It is outrageous that the ACLU sought civil contempt charges against an outstanding woman whose husband prayed a beautiful prayer at a privately sponsored event held off campus. The ACLU needs to take a good dose
of the First Amendment and call us in the morning,” he said.

The fight isn’t over, even though a judge ruled against them, and rightly upheld a private citizens right to bless their food before they eat it.

The fight, however, remains far from over.

Principal Frank Lay

On Sept. 17, Liberty Counsel is scheduled to return to court to defend Principal Frank Lay and Robert Freeman, the athletic director, from charges of criminal contempt for praying over a meal at an event for private contributors to the school’s athletic program.

Staver will defend Lay and Freeman. According to FoxNews.com both school officials are at risk of being given jail time and having their retirement savings
revoked by the state.

Accusations against the two stem from a blessing of a meal at a separate luncheon to honor private contributors to the athletic program, LC said.

The war against the school employees erupted when the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the district and Rodgers issued a broadly worded injunction regarding prayer and religious activities at school.

The event Winkler attended, and for which she was charged, was a privately funded event off campus after school hours to honor district workers. She was accompanied by her husband, who read a prayer blessing.

Those great men who wrote our constitution are rolling over in their graves at what has become of a large portion of this country. We must fight this kind of discrimination and harassment everywhere it exists. And, the ACLU should be forced to pay the legal fees of every person they falsely accuse out of a disgusting hatred of anything related to Christianity. We still have freedom of religion and speech in this country, and the ACLU must be forced to accept that.

Is it the Kremlin or the White House? It’s hard to tell a difference these days. Now that Obama has his shadow government in place in the form of 40-some Czars that report directly to the President, and have more power than most cabinet level positions, he’s putting them to work against the American People. The Healthcare Czar is asking Obama’s minions to report to the White House any opposition to socializing healthcare that they see on the internet, in blogs, in e-mails forwarded to them, or even in casual conversation. Never in a million years would I have imagined that we would elect a President who would have his lackeys asking his supporters to spy and snitch on their fellow Americans for simply having political opinions that disagree with the administration. This call to action can be found on the White House website:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

I took Michelle Malkin’s suggestion and reported myself. I let them know that this is still America, despite their best efforts to turn it into Communist China, and I’ll say, think, and write what I want. I gave them my blog address, and asked them just what exactly they plan to do with those who are reported for thought crimes. Will we be sent to re-education camps, or just fall victim to Obama’s habit of threatening those who disagree with him? The time is rapidly approaching, I think, when we real Americans need to do more than just protest at Tea Parties. They obviously aren’t getting the message. Every single one of them needs to be fired in 2010 and 2012, but we also need to get a whole lot louder and harder to ignore before the elections.

Just in case they scrub the site of this information when they start hearing from the public about it, here is a screen capture of the page on whitehouse.gov.

Obama’s highly paid Health Czar asks the Obama faithful to snitch on their neighbors, conservative bloggers, and people who exercise their free speech rights in public if they are caught criticizing Obamacare. Welcome to the USSA!

A mob of angry Muslims, who were led to believe that a Koran had been desecrated by Pakistani Christians, went on a rampage today and burned down 40 Christian homes, burning several Christians alive. We all need to keep our Christian brothers and sister living in Arab countries in our prayers. While the world pretends that Islam is a religion of peace (”pieces” is more like it), Christians continue to die over stupidity like a rumor, which turned out to be a lie, that an unholy Koran had been somehow desecrated. As the son of Hamas’ founder, a converted Christian, once said, Islam is a plague and a sickness.

Paramilitary troops patrolled the streets of a town in eastern Pakistan yesterday after Muslim radicals burned to death eight members of a Christian family, raising fears of violence spreading to other areas.

Hundreds of armed supporters of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an outlawed Islamic militant group, burned dozens of Christian homes in Gojra over the weekend after allegations that a copy of the Koran had been defiled.

The mob opened fire indiscriminately, threw gas bombs and looted houses as thousands of frightened Christians ran for safety. “They were shouting anti-Christian slogans and attacked our houses,” Rafiq Masih, a resident of the predominantly Christian colony, said. Residents said that police stood aside while the mob went on the rampage. “We kept begging for protection, but police did not take action,” Masih said.

Police and local officials said that at least eight people, including four women and a child, were killed in the fires. Two others died of gunshot wounds. Residents said that the casualties were much higher; one claimed that the number of dead could be in the dozens as many bodies were still buried under the rubble. Shahbaz Bhatti, the Minister for Minorities, said that 40 Christian homes were torched in rioting. He said there was no truth to allegations that a Koran had been defiled, and accused the police of ignoring his appeal to provide protection to Christians.

Tension started mounting last week after Muslims accused three Christian youths of burning a copy of the Koran. They denied the allegations, but clerics called for their death. On Saturday, hundreds of supporters of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an outlawed Sunni sectarian group, poured into the town from surrounding districts. The group is believed to have close links with Al Qaeda and has been involved in several terrorist attacks targeting security forces in recent years.

Television footage showed armed men running through the streets, gunfire, and women and children wailing. Blackened furniture lay outside burning homes, while a group of people rushed a man suffering from burns on a cart through the streets. Rehman Malik, the Interior Minister, said that the paramilitary troops were sent after police and the local administration failed to control the situation. Security forces were also placed on high alert to prevent violence from spreading to other towns of Punjab.

For those of you keeping up on the controversy surrounding Obama’s Birth Certificate, Free Republic has a long discussion going on right now that contains some great investigative work and analysis. In addition to Orley Taitz release of an image purported to be a Kenyan Birth Certificate for Obama, Taitz is heading to the UK to authenticate the document, and at the same time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is headed to Kenya. I guess Rahm Emanuel’s Africa trip last December didn’t get the job done.

For those of you who think the issue of Obama’s hidden past, and complete lack of transparency when it comes to records that are historically released by presidential candidates, and certainly in-coming presidents, things like this might make the matter seem a little more pressing. And this.

CAIR was so inspired by Obama’s recitation from the Quran during his Cairo speech that they have launched a campaign to give all state and federal leaders in the U.S. a copy of the Quran in English. They say the move is purely educational, and is in no way proselytizing or a campaign or project to convert people to Islam. Sure it’s not. And I’m sure the ACLU will see that way, as well. Christian organizations should organize a campaign to do the same with the Bible, and see how fast the ACLU files a “separation of church and state” law suit against everyone involved. Of course, such a Christian campaign would never happen. Christians are too busy not reading their Bibles, not teaching their kids, and being afraid to contend for their faith. Sad, but true.

Prompted by President Obama’s speech directed to the Muslim world in Cairo in early June, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today launched its “Share the Quran” campaign distributing free Qurans to local, state, and national leaders across the United States.

The organization’s spokesperson said it will also send a copy to Obama and Vice President Biden.

“This is pure educational. I want to make it clear that this is not proselytizing or a campaign or project to convert people to Islam,” said CAIR’s director Nihad Awad today at a press conference. “We want people to be aware and informed about Islam.”

Awad said the idea to gift high-end Qurans ($78 each) to American legislators, law enforcement officers, media leaders, governors, local elected and public officials, was directly inspired by Obama’s Cairo speech:

“We were astonished he quoted the Quran.” Awad told ABC News. “We know it. But I think the majority of Americans have no idea that maybe these quotes are direct from the Quran, they’re unequivocal, and they cover the issues of . . . values we need today, in order to work together, fight extremism and terrorism, and turn the page. And bring the relationship to its rightful position between the American and Muslim world.”

The “rightful position”, according to the Quran, is for Islam to be the only religion on Earth. Bringing this about is to be every good Muslim’s goal. I’d say they are off to an effective start, wouldn’t you? Just look at the number of Sharia courts now established in Britain.

It looks as if the Cap and Trade (AKA Tax and Trade) bill will likely pass and be signed into law. I wonder how many Americans really know what this portends for their future, and are aware of how much it is going to cost them, not only in dollars, but in their standard of living? If you don’t think it will affect you, consider that one entry in the bill called for the funding and erection of “SHARE THE ROAD WITH BICYCLES SIGNS” with the stated goal of encourage people to drive slower, and preparing drivers to accept the coming bicycle age. The coming bicycle age? Why don’t we just skip right to the stone age? How many of you elderly Democrats, disabled Obama voters, or yuppy liberals who have long commutes to work are ready to start using your government issue bicycle to get around?

It’s not a joke folks. The cost of energy and price of gas are going to skyrocket with this bill. Remember Obama’s campaign promise that he would make us less dependent on foreign oil. It was yet another lie! Cap and Trade will make it more expensive, because of CO2 emission taxes, to buy domestic fuel than to buy from refineries overseas. The bill will actually tax domestic production at a higher rate than Obama’s Arab buddies. The Heritage Foundation’s cost estimate report on Cap and Trade predicts that a large percentage of refineries in the states will be forced to shut down. I would venture to guess this is the reason the Republicans tried to pass an amendment that would end Cap and Trade if gas prices reach $5.00 a gallon. The Democrats voted it down. They admittedly want gas prices and energy costs higher, in order to force Americans to use less energy. Not only do they not care about the millions of jobs that will be lost as our GDP plummets and companies go out of business, they want more power and control over our lives by way of taxing us into government dependency.

Our government is no longer afraid of the people that elect them. As Thomas Jefferson said, “When the people fear the government, you have tyranny. When the government fears the people, you have freedom.” We are living under a tyrannical government that no longer cares how many calls they receive at their offices from angry voters. They fear the threats of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who warned Democrats that “anyone who voted against this bill would pay”. Elections have consequences, and the consequence of the last election is that we gave up the right to govern ourselves. We handed any influence we might have had over to Socialist politicians who see economic crisis as an opportunity for more government control.

Every American should seriously read this report and start preparing for what our government is about to do to us. A real resistance to Obama’s planned destruction of this country better begin soon, or it will be too late. I fear, by the time people wake up, our government will have also woken up to the importance of taking away our second amendment rights. See the current massacre in Iran for an example of what happens when an unarmed populace tries to fight for their freedom.

Another case of ramming legislation through Congress before anyone has a chance to read or debate it. Boy, you’ve got to love that transparency we were promised.

Democrats are trying to pass Cap and Trade legislation that would basically tax air. There was a time when this would have sounded like a joke, but we should never underestimate the liberals ability to tax us to death. The bill would require businesses to purchase permits for the amount of CO2 they emit in an effort to combat the bogus global warming crisis. These costs would then be passed on to the consumer, raising all of our energy prices to astronomical levels.

The CBO released a cost estimate that is completely useless, as it focuses on the early years of the program before the more stringent restrictions and permit costs go into effect. In a footnote, the CBO cost estimate addresses the real danger to our economy when this bill passes. It reads “The resource cost does not indicate the potential decrease in gross domestic product (GDP) that could result from the cap.” Not only will our energy prices go up during a time of soaring unemployment and a financial downturn, but businesses will ultimately produce less and make less money, severely impacting the nations GDP. Businesses in this country are already taxed more than other countries around the world, hence the outsourcing Democrats are always complaining about, but that doesn’t stop them from trying the same failed policies.

Democrats claim the whole point of cap and trade is to hike the price of electricity and gas so that Americans will use less. In reality, Americans will pay more for what they buy, while cutting back on how much they buy, and businesses will have to cut back more on production or outsource to more business friendly countries. That means more job losses and less money going into the economy. That is Obama’s ultimate goal. To kill the free market system and make all of us dependent on the government. Socialism at its worst.

The Heritage Foundation estimated the REAL cost of this disastrous legislation.

When the Heritage Foundation did its analysis of Waxman-Markey, it broadly compared the economy with and without the carbon tax. Under this more comprehensive scenario, it found Waxman-Markey would cost the economy $161 billion in 2020, which is $1,870 for a family of four. As the bill’s restrictions kick in, that number rises to $6,800 for a family of four by 2035.

Thanks for the hope and change Democratic voters. Enjoy footing the bill. Here’s what you have to look forward to:

Even as Democrats have promised that this cap-and-trade legislation won’t pinch wallets, behind the scenes they’ve acknowledged the energy price tsunami that is coming. During the brief few days in which the bill was debated in the House Energy Committee, Republicans offered three amendments: one to suspend the program if gas hit $5 a gallon; one to suspend the program if electricity prices rose 10% over 2009; and one to suspend the program if unemployment rates hit 15%. Democrats defeated all of them.

It’s things like this that make me wish we still had President Bush in office. Bush wasn’t perfect, and the fact that opened the door to the bailout, socialist mess Obama is continuing angered me, but we could at least count on the man to keep us safe. Bush never would have let North Korea’s nuke and missile tests go unanswered, and Kim likely wouldn’t have felt so emboldened if not for the weak, Arab supporting community activist we have in office now.

We continue to hear the media repeat the mantra that North Korea has made threats before, so they’re probably just bluffing. Do we really want to take that risk and do nothing but “vote present”? This sounds pretty serious to me:

North Korean troops will respond to any sanctions or U.S. provocations with “an annihilating blow,” one senior official vowed—a pointed threat as an American destroyer shadowed a North Korean freighter sailing off China’s coast, possibly with banned goods on board.

Perhaps Obama is counting on the U.N. to take care of this problem for him. In his naive world, the U.N. is the answer to all the worlds ills, along with American apologies to foreign countries, and bowing before Islamic dictators. The U.N.’s answer to the last threat was as follows:

A new U.N. Security Council resolution passed recently to punish North Korea for conducting an underground nuclear test in May requires U.N. member states to request inspections of ships suspected of carrying arms or nuclear weapons-related material.

They are “punishing” North Korea by REQUESTING inspection of ships? That worked out really well didn’t it.

In response to the sanctions, the North pulled out of nuclear talks and has ramped up already strident anti-American rhetoric. And the isolated regime may now be moving to openly flout the resolution by dispatching a ship suspected of carrying arms to Myanmar. While it was not clear what was on board the North Korean-flagged Kang Nam 1, officials have mentioned artillery and other conventional weaponry. One intelligence expert suspected missiles.

Obama can’t even back up a toothless resolution and follow through on inspecting these ships.

The U.S. and its allies have made no decision on whether to request inspection of the ship, Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said Wednesday in Washington, but North Korea has said it would consider any interception an act of war.

North Korea’s “armed forces will deal an annihilating blow that is unpredictable and unavoidable, to any ’sanctions’ or provocations by the US,” Pak Pyong Jong, first vice chairman of the Pyongyang City People’s Committee, told the crowd gathered for the Korean War anniversary rally.

There are massacres happening in Iran, where election protesters are attempting to overthrow the current Islamic dictatorship. North Korea appears in many ways to be preparing for war, their leadership is threatening a nuclear attack, and they’re shipping banned weapons in faster than Michelle Obama can buy new clothes. Meanwhile, Obama is eating ice cream and golfing. All we hear from his administration is dismissals and attempts to refocus our attention on nationalizing (aka rationing) our health care. I hope those who voted for Obama are enjoying their “hope and change”.

Wasn’t it President Obama who recently commented in a media interview that we in the U.S. are currently OUT OF MONEY? And, wasn’t it Obama who admitted we are operating in deep deficits? This IS the guy whose budget will add TRILLIONS, with a T, to the national debt, right? This is also, the guy who chastised hedge fund managers as being speculators for being unwilling to “sacrifice” like the rest of us, simply because bond holders didn’t appreciate being totally ripped off in favor of the Unions who benefited from Obama’s government takeover, instead of a bankruptcy plan for Chrysler that would have protected the investments of many every-day, middle class Americans. How dare they complain when Obama redistributes their money!! They are just a part of the peasantry, and don’t need to have money for their families, or for date night with their wives! This is a privilege reserved for the tax evaders, lobbyists, and Elitists in Washington.

The One must not be criticized for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars (some have estimated into the millions) on fuel, security, etc. to jet his wife across the country, and take in a Broadway show. All wealth must be redistributed fairly (stolen from those who earned it) so that our tax dollars can pay for Michelle’s night out. What would the media report, if they couldn’t analyze Michelle’s latest hideous outfit, or $500 dollar pair of shoes? Certainly not a nuclear North Korea who has now withdrawn from the Cease Fire agreement that ended hostilities in the Korean War.

Just like all Marxists, Obama’s vision of fairness, wealth redistribution, tax laws, conservation, and sacrifice doesn’t include the ruling class. They are exempt from his form of social justice.

President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, flew to New York City today for dinner and a Broadway show.

“I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all over,” Obama, 47, said in a statement.

The Obamas dined at the Blue Hill restaurant near Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, according to White House spokesman Josh Earnest.

The restaurant’s menu includes spinach soup with pickled shiitake mushrooms for $14, grass-fed lamb with asparagus, broccoli rabe and fiddlehead ferns for $36, and chocolate bread pudding for $12.

After spending about two-and-a-half hours at the restaurant, the Obama’s motorcade drove up 6th Avenue to the theater district to see the Broadway play “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” at the Belasco Theatre. The first couple received a standing ovation when they arrived.

Republicans seized on the Obamas’ night as an opportunity to criticize the president for living a life of leisure while much of the country struggles.

Zero and his wife have ZERO class. It’s embarrassing as an American.

I put together a page of pictures from the Tea Party protest in Seattle on the 15th. Better late than never I guess. The turnout was good, and the liberals that dominate Seattle looked a bit scared, or maybe shocked. I don’t think they are used to being on the receiving end of protests and political attacks. They better get used to it.

Check out the pictures here:

If you elect a Muslim Marxist, suddenly Islamists become America’s friends and Christians are the new terrorists. From page 5 of the Homeland Security Report detailing the “Right Wing Extremist threat”:

Historically, domestic rightwing extremists have feared, predicted, and anticipated a cataclysmic economic collapse in the United States. Prominent antigovernment conspiracy theorists have incorporated aspects of an impending economic collapse to intensify fear and paranoia among like-minded individuals and to attract recruits during times of economic uncertainty. Conspiracy theories involving declarations of martial law, impending civil strife or racial conflict, suspension of the U.S. Constitution, and the creation of citizen detention camps often incorporate aspects of a failed economy. Antigovernment conspiracy theories and “end times” prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition, and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement.

I don’t think an apology is gonna cut it.

Obama and Homeland Security are following the Marxist Handbook and busying themselves labeling us conservatives as right wing extremists, and even terrorists. In this report that was originally intended for office use only, but got leaked, DHS insults Veterans by warning that they may come home from war and use their skills for terrorist attacks at home. It also warns of the threat posed by Christians who believe in end-time prophecy. Clinton went after the Militias of the 90’s in a similar way, but he wasn’t this insulting, and he didn’t take it to this extreme. Below are a few choice paragraphs and quotes from the report, but you should read the whole article. This country is going to change drastically in the near future, I fear. And it’s not the kind of change the Left thought they would get (with the exception of the hard left, who’ve been calling us conservatives terrorists for years). We elected a Kenyan Muslim, and now Christians and Veterans are the new terrorists among us. Nice. I hope they don’t expect us to be intimidated by this report and go into hiding. The tax day Tea Parties should dispel any notion that we aren’t going to fight the communist takeover of our country by Obama and his tax evading thugs.

A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.

The report, titled “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” dated April 7, states that “threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts.”

However, the document, first reported by talk-radio host and WND columnist Roger Hedgecock, goes on to suggest worsening economic woes, potential new legislative restrictions on firearms and “the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.”

SNIP

“Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of right-wing extremist groups as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government,” the report continues. “The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by right-wing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement.”

Most notable is the report’s focus on the impact of returning war veterans.

“Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists,” it says. “DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities.”

SNIP

The report also mentions “‘end times’ prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as the violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement.”

Yeah, us Christians have been blowing up buildings, planning attacks on military bases, and bombing peoples homes for years. Wait, no, that was Obama’s long time friend, the author of his memoirs, William Ayers of the Weather Underground. My mistake.

UPDATE: For anyone who doubted the authenticity of the DHS report above, Michelle Malkin is reporting that the hit job Obama did on conservatives through DHS is indeed an accurate report, and the Report is real.

Follow the link below to see pictures taken today at the Seattle Tea Party. It was a great rally! We need to have more of them all over the country, and keep protesting until they listen.

President Obama could have long ago put to rest the concerns that he’s not legally allowed to be president of the United States by showing an actual, certified copy of his birth certificate. The “copy” he posted on his website was not authentic. Now, two soldiers are adding themselves to the list of plaintiffs demanding to know if Barack Hussein Obama is constitutionally allowed to be President. For all Americans this is an issue of great importance, but for those who wear the uniform of the armed forces, the ramifications are even greater. The President of the United States is also their Commander-in-Chief. At least two soldiers want to know if the orders given by Obama are actually lawful orders. Read more here.

During the last eight years, liberals protested anything that moved, breathed, or displayed the American Flag. Conservatives have not been known for public protests and demonstrations…until recently. President Obama’s Porkulus bill stirred conservatives to demonstrate in Seattle, Denver, Mesa, and other places. If you are missed out on those and want to try your hand at sign-making and peaceful protesting, never fear. Friday (2/27) will see a new version of the Boston Tea Party held in cities throughout the U.S. Liberal protests tend to be well attended, as the protesters don’t need a good excuse to get out of Mom and Dad’s basement and get rowdy. After all, it’s not like they actually work for a living. So we need to put forth that extra effort. In Seattle, the Tea Party demonstration will largely be held during the lunch hour to accommodate those of us who otherwise have to keep the economy rolling. If you can get time out of work, so much the better. Make some creative signs, show up, enjoy fellowship with other conservatives, have some fun, and make sure this country knows that we’re not all sheeple willing to quietly let this administration lead us from recession into depression. We’re not willing to mortgage our future and our children’s future for a folly that will stimulate nothing but indebtedness and socialism. Hope to see y’all out there! For a list of Tea Parties around the U.S., click here.

By the way, Birkenstocks are okay, but leave tie-dyed shirts to the libs. And the black bandanas? Those are for the anarchists, so don’t wear those either. Oh, and since liberal protests are usually marked with rampant obscenities and vandalism, let’s show that protests can be fun and relevant without being vulgar or illegal.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen in quite some time. A group home counselor in Orange County, CA has been suspended for six weeks for - oh, the horror - allowing kids in her charge to overhear Christian music. This is just insane! The Pacific Justice Institute is representing the counselor and has the details:

A lawsuit has been filed against Orange County by a veteran group home counselor who was suspended six weeks for exposing four teenagers to Christian music. The counselor is represented by affiliate and staff attorneys of Pacific Justice Institute.

The lawsuit states that, in the summer of 2006, the counselor took four teenage girls from the Orangewood Children’s Home on an approved field trip to a 5K run and then to the beach. At the beach, the group encountered a “Surf Jam” taking place at the Huntington Beach pier. The group also overheard Christian music for about ten minutes while they were eating.

Following the beach outing, the counselor, an eighteen-year employee, was summoned to a disciplinary meeting focusing on the Christian music. Several months later, the same incident was brought up again and the counselor was slapped with a six-week suspension for “exposing children to unapproved religious activities.”

After many months of exhausting state administrative remedies, the counselor filed suit late last week in Orange County Superior Court to recover the financial losses she suffered from the suspension and to vindicate her constitutional rights. The counselor is represented by John and Laurie Messerly Stewart, attorneys in Orange, California, and the Pacific Justice Institute.

It looks highly Likely that Netanyahu will be the next Prime Minister of Israel, Evin though Livni’s Kadima party won one more seat in the elections. The right wing bloc won big overall, Labor is toast, and that means Netanyahu will be more likely to succeed at forming a unity government. This is the same way he won the last time he was Prime Minister. This is a good day for Israel, and bad news for Obama, who would have preferred to deal with the Labor party’s willingness to give away land to the Palis in exchange for more terrorism. It’s also a bad day for Hamas. Bibi becoming PM again is their worst nightmare. They know from past experience that when he says he will fight terrorism, he means it, and he isn’t going to hand them the West Bank and let them attack Israel from another side. He also won’t give the Golan up to Syria, as Livni supported doing. This would be especially dangerous, as Obama has lifted sanctions on Syria since taking office, and restored diplomatic relations with the terrorist supporting country. Israel definitely needs someone like Netanyahu with Liberals in America in power.

Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu declared victory in Tuesday’s parliamentary election as he addressed supporters in a speech early Wednesday, despite exit polls that predicted his party narrowly coming second to the ruling Kadima Party.

However, the exit polls also indicate that Likud is in a better position than Kadima to lead a coalition because of a strong showing by other nationalist parties.

“I’ve spoken to party leaders,” Netanyahu said, “and we have agreed to begin negotiations on forming a new government as soon as tomorrow.”

“Even if exit polls are accurate, there is no doubt regarding the only conclusion they point to: the Israeli people have said their word in a clear fashion, the nationalist bloc, led by Likud, won a clear victory,” Netanyahu added.

“The question is not what the polls say. The question is what the reality is. From this day on, the right wing bloc rises to an absolute majority in the Knesset,” the Likud chair went on to say.

“There is no doubt regarding our own movement’s meteoric rise. In the last Knesset we had only 12 seats, 10% of the Knesset. We have more than doubled our power and grown more than any other party,” Netanyahu continued.

“The rise of the right-wing camp and the Likud can only mean one thing, the people want change,” Netanyahu exclaimed. “The people want one path. Our path won and it will lead the people.”

Likud members, meanwhile, were quick to stress that Kadima’s apparent win did not mean it would necessarily be chosen to form the next coalition.

“I am certain that Netanyahu will be the next prime minister,” said Likud lawmaker Gilad Erdan. “Netanyahu has a clear advantage because the right wing parties have a larger bloc. The test is not which party gets the most votes, but which candidate has the best chance to form a coalition, and that person is Benjamin Netanyahu.”

Netanyahu, meanwhile, phoned Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman just after the exit polls were released, apparently to discuss the future of the next coalition.

Former minister Silvan Shalom, another member of Likud, said Kadima was “delusional” to declare such a quick win. A government led by Kadima Chairwoman Tzipi Livni was unrealistic, said Shalom, adding that Likud was the obvious choice for leading the next government.

Public Security Minister Avi Dichter (Kadima) responded to Shalom by saying: “Tzipi Livni is the leader of the State of Israel from today until the next Knesset elections.”

FYI: Livni has attempted to form a unity government once before and failed. With the polls showing strong support for the right wing bloc, she’ll have an even tougher time getting support now, even if she offers those parties the moon in return for switching sides. Anything is possible I suppose, but I’m praying Netanyahu can bring some sanity to Israel’s foreign policy, and thwart Obama’s plans for the region.

Without much coverage from the media, and no mention of it from the President or Congress, Obama’s “stimulus” plan contains a provision to force every single American to submit their medical records to a government controlled electronic medical records database. There would be no way to opt out, because choice is only a good thing if you want to murder a baby.

Some of you may not have a problem with hundreds of thousands of agencies having access to information about your health, mental health records, whether you’ve been an obedient patient or not, and more. Most Americans, however, probably don’t want every detail of their medical history accessible to millions of people. Personally, I don’t want the Federal Government keeping that kind of information about me in a database, because I don’t trust our government to use it responsibly, especially with rabid supporters of the culture of death now in power. Pelosi’s population control plans could take on a whole new direction with that kind of information at her fingertips. It’s happened before in this country, and that was before God was kicked out of our government, schools, and the public square.

Judging by the drooling and groveling going on in meetings between Obama and leaders in the GOP, we can’t count on them to stop this power grab without an uprising from their constituents. Everyone should be writing their representatives in Congress, and calling, or faxing if possible. They need to know we don’t want this, and that there must, at the very least, be a provision for people to opt out of the system if they have concerns about privacy.

Read the details here.

A little-discussed provision in President Obama’s economic stimulus plan would demand that every American submit to a government program for electronic medical records
without a choice to opt out, and it has privacy advocates more than a little alarmed.

Patients might be alarmed, too, privacy advocates said, if they realized information such as documentation on abortions, mental health problems, impotence, being labeled as a non-compliant patient, lawsuits against doctors and sexual problems could be shared electronically with, perhaps, millions of people.

Sue A. Blevins, president of the Institute for Health Freedom, said unless people have the right to decide “if and when” their health information is shared, there is no real privacy.

“President Obama has pledged to advance freedom,” she said. “Therefore the freedom to choose not to participate in a national electronic health-records system must be upheld.” …..

I’m truly sickened by Barack Obama and his narcissistic demands that the media worship him without question or challenge. Throughout his campaign he regularly threatened news stations with a loss of access to his campaign if they asked hard questions, and since he officially received his crown and throne, he’s angrily rebuked any member of the national press core who doesn’t step carefully and show the proper amount of fear and reverence. While gathering with the White House Press Core for an informal social meet and great, one reporter dared to ask him a question on policy. As was reported by Rush Limbaugh, Obama promptly rebuked the mischievous reporter and told him that “if you ask me questions while I’m meeting personally with reporters, then I will no longer be able to do these informal social gatherings”. Any reporter within earshot of this conversation probably dropped to the floor, kissed his feet and begged His Highness not to deny them the extreme honor of his presence among the peasants, and an opportunity to kiss his ring. It’s sickening to see grown men and women crawl around in fear of losing access to The One, or being denied their daily shiver up the leg.

Now we’re learning that Obama wants to impose Fairness Doctrine style restrictions on broadcast companies, and make it the business of our new fascist government to dictate to the owners of these companies what will be allowed on the airwaves and what won’t. Since when is state controlled media a part of any free country? If government can dictate what is “fair” to discuss over the air waves, and force talk radio to air only programming that is acceptable to The One and his henchmen, we don’t really have freedom of speech anymore do we.

If you don’t remember what the Fairness Doctrine was about, it stated that equal time had to be given to differing political and ideological points of view on the radio. And, guess who gets to decide what’s a fair division of time, and what constitutes a diverse range of views? Obama does. And that’s just how he likes it. He operates by intimidating and threatening anyone who disagrees with him, or might criticize him. Like a child who’s been picked on at recess, he attacked Rush Limbaugh this week and warned Conservatives that, “if you want to get anything done, you can’t listen to Rush Limbaugh”. Thank you Mr. President, but I don’t need a Marxist wanna-be dictator telling me what I should and shouldn’t listen to on the radio, or how I should go about getting things done.

If you don’t think the administrations plans to get the Fairness Doctrine reinstated, which would effectively shut down talk radio and run it broadcasters out of business (think Air America), then you should ponder the same set of rules for the internet. Obama isn’t going to let the Internet just take over where talk radio left off in opposing this administration. He may not apply the Fairness Doctrine to the internet - that would probably be a can of worms even he would hesitate to open…right now. But, he can do the same thing by different means. He can tax the internet into the last decade, for example. If it’s too expensive for the average Joe to enjoy the last free speech zone in America, then the internet will start to resemble the print media. Only those with money, big corporations, or existing media conglomerates will be able to afford news websites with a large audience.

Then there’s always the McCain-Feingold approach. If blogs and the “free advertising” they give campaigns are suddenly considered campaign contributions, bloggers can be required to fill out all the necessary paperwork, and spend their time reporting their contributions to the Federal Government. Their websites or blogs could then be regulated by the Federal Government as political advertising. Don’t think they’d try it? Washington state has already proposed it, and would very much like to do just that. In fact they have already attempted this approach with a conservative radio station in the Seattle area.

The article I’m linking to below - and you should read all of it - explains their goals well when it says that they hope to achieve what FDR achieved with the new deal. If they can shut down talk radio, silence Obama’s critics, and create their own spin for everything they do, they will have solidified their power in Washington, just as they did during the New Deal. That led to 50 years of Democrat rule, and they hope it will lead to the same firm grip on power now. Only it’s a different party now, and Obama is a much more dangerous President. This country will never be the same if the Democrats are allowed to trash our constitution in this way, and strip us of our freedoms. If you don’t think they have the support to do it, read the liberal blogs, or pay attention to what your liberal acquaintances are saying. The Moonbats want blood, and what they’re saying in their blogs, e-mails, and around the water cooler would seem quite natural and appropriate if we were living in Nazi Germany. America is at a tipping point, and our future balances on the Right’s willingness to fight back. If we don’t scream just as loudly as they did for the last 8 years (but with more class, and less insanity), find new ways of getting our message out, and learn how to protest the way liberals have been doing for years (again with more class and less insanity), we will regret our silence for decades to come.

For a more in depth look at Obama’s plans read this article. It should scare you.

Nancy Pelosi is busy pushing The One’s agenda, and has hit the talk show circuit to explain how fewer babies will save the economy. When confronted with the exorbitant amount of money Congress is allocating to family planning (aka sex ed and abortion), Pelosi’s reply was that we have to deal with this economic downturn, and one one of the ways to do that is to fund family planning that leads to fewer babies. Wow, Nancy. Maybe all conservatives should just be asked to offer up their first born as a sacrifice to Obama’s trillion dollar spending extravaganza. How much more can we devalue human life? Now babies are just an expendable burden on on the state, and something to be prevented so Washington can spend more money? These people really are sick. Maybe Pelosi would like to bring back the forced sterilizations of the 1920’s and 30’s and weed out the “unfit” to save a buck. Eugenics is alive and well in America, thanks to the godless liberals.

I guess it makes sense to give a huge chunk of that change going to Planned Parenthood. The founder of PPA, Margaret Sanger, was a staunch supporter of Eugenics, and the board of PPFA was made up of the same people who sat on the board of the Eugenics Society of America. My, how history repeats itself when you stop teaching history, and begin revising it. I guess she’s only following in her President’s footsteps. Speaking of his daughter during the campaign, he said “If she makes a mistake…I don’t want to punish her with a baby!” So, babies are punishments, and now an unnecessary tax burden on the government. But, hey, population control is working out great for China…..Unless you’re the mother who wants to have more than two children. No choice for you! Come back, 30 year!

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a move to add birth control funding to the new economic “stimulus” package, claiming “contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.”

Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said, “Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom,” seemed to imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury.

The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC’s THIS WEEK.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?

PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children’s health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?

PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.

This piece is an excellent wake up call to the state of denial and delusional worship that we’ve seen across the country since the coronation of our new dear leader, and the consequences it will have for all of us. The masses celebrate as Obama and his minions in Congress prepare to remove all restrictions on abortion, making even partial birth abortion legal once again. For those of you who don’t know, let me describe exactly what happens in a partial birth abortion. It will be a shocking revelation to many of you.

In a partial birth abortion, a baby that, if born, would surely survive is brutally murdered. If you think I’m being overly dramatic about this, read on. The baby that requires a partial birth abortion to bring about its death is in an advanced stage of development. For some time it has been able to cry, it sucks its thumb, it moves about the womb, it can recognize its mother’s voice, it yawns, dreams, and most importantly, it can feel pain just as you and I do. Remember that last point, especially, as you read on.

The abortion begins when the abortionist uses forceps to grab the baby’s little legs and pull it through the birth canal, until all of the baby is delivered, except the head. The doctor leaves the head in the birth canal so that he doesn’t have to witness the horror and mutilation he is about to inflict an an innocent victim. He also leaves its head concealed so that he and the mother won’t have to hear the baby’s scream when he rams the forceps into the back of her head and spreads them apart to create a gaping hole at the base of her skull. The Abortionist then inserts a suction tube into the hole, and mercifully sucks the baby’s brains out, collapsing the skull. Only then does he deliver the rest of the dead baby to be disposed of as medical waste.

This is what Obama and the Godless liberals call choice. Sadly, abortion procedures used prior to the last stages of pregnancy are equally brutal, and in some cases even more painful for the baby. Chemical abortions for example, burn the top layer of skin off the baby before it is poisoned to death. Some of those babies have actually been born alive in “botched abortions” and have testified before Congress as adults to the horrors of abortion. They’ve offered their own lives as proof that a living child is being tortured and killed in an abortion. Only soulless animals lacking any compassion or conscience could witness their testimony and still support abortion. Yet, that is exactly the caliber of people we obviously have running our country.

If you didn’t know about any of these facts, I hope it makes you realize that there is more to the abortion debate than the simple issue of choice. Every person on this planet has a duty to educate themselves before they make a decision on whether they support abortion on demand. Millions of lives could be saved if they did.

Getting back to the article I reference in this post, people are soon going to be forced to wake up to the real “change” that Obama is going to bring to our country. Change, like thousands more government funded jobs that will do nothing to grow the economy. Things like terrorists being released from Guantanamo Bay Cuba that will go right back to their Jihad ways with renewed vigor, hatred, and determination to kill as many Americans as possible. We’ve already seen this result with the terrorists that have been released.

Obama is nothing more than a rock star personality, and his plans for this country are dangerous. The consequences of electing an inexperienced, Narcissistic Marxist are going to become a reality in the coming weeks, months, and years. Prepare yourselves and pray for our country.

This will end in tears. The Obama hysteria is not merely embarrassing to witness, it is itself contributory to the scale of the disaster that is coming. What we are experiencing, in the deepening days of a global depression, is the desperate suspension of disbelief by people of intelligence - la trahison des clercs - in a pathetic effort to hypnotise themselves into the delusion that it will be all right on the night. It will not be all right.

We have been here before. In the spring of 1997, to be precise, when a charismatic, young prime minister entered Downing Street, cheered by children bussed in for the occasion waving plastic Union Jacks. A very few of us at that time incurred searing reproaches for denouncing the Great Charlatan (as I have always denominated Tony Blair) and dissenting from the public hysteria. Three times a deluded Britain elected that transparent fraud. Yesterday, when national bankruptcy became a formal reality, we reaped the bitter harvest of the Blair/Brown imposture.

The burnt child, contrary to conventional wisdom, does not fear the fire. After the Blair experience there is no excuse for anybody in Britain falling for Obama. Yet today, in this country, even some of those who remained sane during the emotional spasm of the Diana aberration are pumping the air for Princess Barack. At a time of gross economic and geopolitical instability throughout the Western world, this is beyond irresponsibility.

To anyone who kept his head, the string of Christmas cracker mottoes booming through the public address system on Washington’s National Mall can only excite scepticism. It is crucial to recall the reality that lies behind the rhetoric. Denouncing “those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents” comes ill from a man whose flagship legislation, the Freedom of Choice Act, will impose abortion, including partial-birth abortion, on every state in the Union. It seems the era of Hope is to be inaugurated with a slaughter of the innocents.

Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan is like one of those toxic packages traded by bankers: it camouflages many unaffordable gifts to his client state. With a federal deficit already at $1.2 trillion, Obama wants to squander $825 billion (which will undoubtedly mushroom to more than $1 trillion) on creating 600,000 more government jobs and a further 459,000 in “green energy” (useless wind turbines and other Heath-Robinson contraptions favoured by Beltway environmentalists).

It is frightening to think there is a real possibility that the entire world economy could go into complete meltdown and famine kill millions. Yet Western - and British - commentators are cocooned in a warm comfort zone of infatuation with America’s answer to Neil Kinnock. We should be long past applauding politicians of any hue: they got us into this mess. The best deserve a probationary opportunity to prove themselves, the worst should be in jail.

It is questionable whether the present political system can survive the coming crisis. Whatever the solution, teenage swooning sentimentality over a celebrity cult has no part in it. The most powerful nation on earth is confronting its worst economic crisis under the leadership of its most extremely liberal politician, who has virtually no experience of federal politics. That is not an opportunity but a catastrophe.

These are frank, even ungracious, words: they have the one merit that, unlike almost everything else written today about Obama, they will not require to be eaten in the future.

The coronation ceremony is over, and it looks like American Idol was more popular with many Americans. It was the most watched inauguration since Reagan, but Reagan still got far more viewers. You’d think Obama could grab the idol worshippers in droves, being the Messiah and all.

Many Obama worshipers, and of course the MSM, were offended by hearing the name Jesus uttered in public, because, apparently, a prayer is not inclusive if it is directed at the majority of Americans who are Christians. Prayers not including any mention of Christianity are, however, considered inclusive, and far less offensive to moonbat ears.

Some attending the inauguration didn’t need the prayers, though. They felt the presence of God the minute The One stepped up to the microphone. One such attendee gushed, “You Feel God is Speaking to You“, when asked about her experience.

The experience of one foreign correspondent wasn’t quite that Grand. He dubbed Obama’s acceptance speech his “worst ever“. Could this be the beginning of actual criticism for the anointed one? Or, is this gentleman, perhaps, just not enlightened enough to understand the nuanced approach of our benevolent community organizer in chief?

The Biden gaff machine is just warming up, and Obama’s very first phone call this morning was to the President of the Palestinian Authority, not our ally Israel. I’m sure he was simply beginning his magic dialogue that will convince all Arabs to be more discrete about pushing Israel into the sea. Iran can’t wait to have it’s face to face with The One to discuss throwing Israel under the bus. Just O’s presence in the Oval Office led Israel to remove all troops from Gaza, so I’madinnerjacket needs to have Obama part the Red Sea, since their weapons smuggling tunnels are now toast.

Meanwhile, the BDS enraged left took time out from the Messiah’s big day to deface a Bush Memorial. Isn’t that a federal crime? I’m sure it was done in the spirit of bipartisanship, and they were only emphasizing that the change has come.

It’s going to be a long two years, and we’ll probably see a few terrorist attacks. At least we won’t have another Kennedy spouting off in Congress.
