The Scriptorium

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.

Seattle Tea Party Pictures

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.

It’s not surprising that Liberals wouldn’t know about, or wouldn’t care about the U.S. Flag Code. Since these flags will now need to be burned….

U.S. Flag Code - “The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.”

….I’m feeling an urge to do some community service and help them out.

Now that’s a flag worth burning

A school in Florida celebrated “religious freedom day” by banning a Christian group from distributing Bibles. I’m not sure - do they not understand what religious freedom day is supposed to be about, or are they protesting the fact that we have religious freedom? Only liberal God haters could be that hypocritical.

See The Docket for more.

The Coronation of the Messiah will be the most expensive in our entire history. Remember when Bush was elected to his first term in office and all the moonbats screeched and wailed about the enormous cost of the inauguration and how extravagant and wasteful President Bush was being?

Ohhhh, but this is The One we’re talking about here. He may need Greek columns on every corner, and his wife will surely have to eat only the best and most expensive lobster.

When BO started running out of money, he had the help bring before him the Bush and warned the outgoing President that his Highness was running out of money. Like a patriotic American, Bush declared a state of emergency in D.C., freeing up more money for the grand event. The next step will be to tell every American that they will be required to go without their paycheck this month. For the good of the country, or course. It’s time for everyone to give more, remember. It’s patriotic to be taxed into poverty, just ask Joe Biden. The Hypocrite Party will soon be in power.

President Barack Obama’s inauguration next week is set to be the most expensive ever, predicted to reach over $150m (£102m). This dwarfs the $42.3m spent on George Bush’s inauguration in 2005 and the $33m spent on Bill Clinton’s in 1993.

Part of the spending includes emergency funding announced by the White House on Tuesday to help with the soaring costs. Most of this new federal funding will be to deal with the huge influx of people, estimated 1.5 million to 2 million.

A White House statement said that President Bush “declared an emergency exists in the District of Columbia”.

If there is snow, the costs will grow higher. The long-term forecast suggests there is a chance of snow on Sunday and again on the day of inauguration, on Tuesday.

Carole Florman, spokeswoman for the joint congressional committee on inaugural ceremonies, told the New York Daily News, which estimated the cost at $160m: “We’re always very budget conscious. But we’re sending a message to the entire world about our peaceful transition of power, and you don’t want it to look like a schlock affair. It needs to be appropriate to the magnitude of events that it is.”

He who controls the money…. This is really scary folks. Our government is buying out bank after bank. The latest “bailout” makes the Fed the largest shareholder in Bank of America. We are on the fast track to socialism and there isn’t a conservative in site that has a spine.

Last fall, as Federal Reserve and Treasury Department officials rode to the rescue of one financial institution after another, they took great pains to avoid doing anything that smacked of nationalizing banks.

They may no longer have that luxury. With two of the nation’s largest banks buckling under yet another round of huge losses, the incoming administration of Barack Obama and the Federal Reserve are suddenly dealing with banks that are “too big to fail” and yet unable to function as the sinking economy erodes their capital.

Particularly in the case of Citigroup, the losses have become so large that they make it almost mathematically impossible for the government to inject enough capital without taking a majority stake or at least squeezing out existing shareholders.

And the new ground rules laid down by Obama’s top economic advisers for the second half of the $700 billion bailout fund, as explained in a letter submitted to Congress on Thursday, call for the government to play an increasing role in the major activities of the banks, from the dividends they pay to shareholders to the amount they can pay executives.

“We are down a path that this country has not seen since Andrew Jackson shut down the Second National Bank of the United States,” said Gerard Cassidy, a banking analyst at RBC Capital Markets. “We are going to go back to a time when the government controlled the banking system.”

It looks like Muslim terrorists in Lebanon are still trying to create a second front in the war for Israel.

Militants in Lebanon sent rockets crashing into northern Israel on Wednesday, while Israeli aircraft pounded a Gaza cemetery, Hamas weapons positions and tunnels used for smuggling, witnesses and the military said Wednesday.

The rockets from Lebanon landed in open areas near the town of Kiryat Shemona, causing no injuries or damage, Israeli police said. Residents of northern Israel were instructed to head to bomb shelters following the second attack from Lebanon in less than a week….

Osama bin Laden also chimed in with an audio tape calling on all Muslims to unite against Israel, and condemned the Arab governments who aren’t doing their part to wage Jihad. He is now back in his cave hiding, until next years video, when he once again feels insignificant and needs to get Al Qaeda’s dwindling terror group back in the news. That is if Obama hasn’t released the prisoners from Gitmo (the one’s who MAY even be dangerous) and stopped wire tapping, interrogating, and disrupting what’s left of Al Qaeda’s leadership.

“It is more difficult than I think a lot of people realize,” the president-elect explained. “Part of the challenge that you have is that you have a bunch of folks that have been detained, many of whom may be very dangerous who have not been put on trial or have not gone through some adjudication. And some of the evidence against them may be tainted even though it’s true. And so how to balance creating a process that adheres to rule of law, habeas corpus, basic principles of Anglo-American legal system, by doing it in a way that doesn’t result in releasing people who are intent on blowing us up.”

Ya, that whole blowing us up thing might be important. How about we bring them to the United States where they’ll have the protections of our constitution, and we can house them in our prisons right here at home. That won’t attract any terrorist retaliation at all. I’m sure if they didn’t attack the Marines at Guantanamo, they won’t try to make martyrs of their buddies incarcerated here in the states either.

At least Obama has his priorities straight, and hasn’t ruled out prosecuting the Bush administration for their “crimes” against the terrorists.

Obama said that he is not ruling out prosecution for crimes committed by the Bush administration and left open the possibility of appointing a special prosecutor or commission to independently investigate abuses of power and illegal activity.

Obama’s comments came in response to the most popular question on his own Web site, www.change.gov, which has received 23,000 votes on the “Open for Questions” portion of the site. Bob Fertik of New York who runs the Democrats.com Web site asks Obama, “Will you appoint a special prosecutor — ideally Patrick Fitzgerald — to independently investigate the gravest crimes of the Bush administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping?”

“We’re still evaluating how we’re going to approach the whole issue of interrogations, detentions, and so forth. And obviously we’re going to be looking at past practices and I don’t believe that anybody is above the law.” Obama said. “But my instinct is for us to focus on how do we make sure that moving forward we are doing the right thing. That doesn’t mean that if somebody has blatantly broken the law, that they are above the law. But my orientation’s going to be to move forward.”

He’ll really be wanting to move forward and step away from the Bush bashing when he gets his first real intelligence briefings, and has to begin every morning hearing what might happen to his family and fellow Americans that day if he makes the wrong decision. When the next attack will fall squarely on his shoulders and there is no President Bush to blame, he’ll probably be wishing he hadn’t tied his hands behind his back with all of the “abuse of power” whining. I wouldn’t blame President Bush if he takes some pleasure in knowing that Obama will be forced to decide between tapping someone’s phone, and risking the Brooklyn Bridge being blown up during rush hour traffic. Obama’s choice in that situation will reveal the level of his narcissism. Let’s pray he’s not as arrogant and self serving as he appears to be.

It looks like the Iraq war will soon become a part of prophecy fulfillment. The United States has pledged $700,000 to rebuild ancient Babylon. This is significant because, the Bible teaches that Babylon will be rebuilt and rise again in the end times.

Unfortunately, the article mentions just part of a verse from Isiah at the end of the article, which is totally misleading and seems to imply that the Bible prophesied that Babylon would never be inhabited again. For the full text of the scripture they partially quote, and an explanation of why Babylon must be rebuilt before the end-times, see this article: http://www.frankcaw.com/Babylon-Rebuilt.html. In short, Babylon “never again being inhabited” is referring to the period of time following its complete destruction during Armageddon, and not any current period of time. Babylon must first be rebuilt in order to be destroyed in the manner described in Isiah.

The United States has pledged $700,000 to help preserve and restore ancient Babylon.

In a news release, the U.S. State Department says “‘The Future of Babylon’ project exemplifies the American people’s commitment to the preservation of human heritage and their respect for the cultural heritage of Iraq.”

The State Department says the funding will allow the World Monuments Fund and Iraq’s Board of Antiquities and Heritage to plan for Babylon’s “conservation, study and tourism.”

In the Bible, Isaiah prophesies that Babylon “will never be inhabited, nor will it be settled from generation to generation.”

UC Berkeley, along with most universities and colleges in this country, is actively endorsing and promoting religions that disbelieve the creation account of the origins of man in favor of evolution. Somehow, this doesn’t constitute the endorsement of religion using tax dollars, though. Isn’t that interesting how religions that teach a liberal view of the world don’t receive the same censorship that other religions do. I’m growing about as weary of our liberal education system’s hypocrisy as I am their “creationism isn’t science” mantra. Intelligent Design has a wealth of scientific evidence to support it. The problem is, the Darwinists are just too afraid to let it be heard, or acknowledge peer reviewed research on the subject. The problems with the THEORY of evolution must be kept under wraps, and Darwinists must not be expected to answer questions. That’s the only way you can handle the opposition when your science is flawed, and your theory is based on blind faith. It takes far more faith to be an atheist and evolutionist than it does to be a Christian who believes in Intelligent Design.

Whether a public university can use taxpayer funds from the federal government for a website that overtly endorses the beliefs of some religious groups regarding evolution and creation – but not others – is the focus of a case that’s being prepared for submission to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“This is a classic example of what the Founding Fathers did not want,” Brad Dacus, of the Pacific Justice Institute, told WND.

His organization is working on the case that revolves around a University of California-Berkeley website that advocates for a single perspective in the arguments over evolution – and highlights a list of religious groups whose beliefs agree with that perspective.

The site, funded by a federal grant and aimed at influencing teachers to promote evolution, excludes and ridicules perspectives – and religious groups that hold those perspectives – that fail to align with its stated beliefs.

“Some religious beliefs explicitly contradict science (e.g., the belief that the world and all life on it was created in six literal days); however, most religious groups have no conflict with the theory of evolution or other scientific findings,” states the website.

“This [website] injures religious freedom in this country,” Dacus said. “The government is playing a role that is overtly hostile to some religious groups and denominations while favoring and giving greater recognition towards others.”

He continued, “This case involves the ability of the state to use taxpayer money to overtly endorse and encourage support of one set of religious denominations over others.”

By the way, if you want to really upset an evolutionist, try to get them to answer questions about the evolution that had to take place to get from primordial ooze to an ape. They like to pretend the ape to man part of evolution is all that exists. “Ooze to ape” presents all sorts of problems for them, and they don’t like to talk about it. Darwin didn’t write a book about “change in species over time”. Christians wouldn’t argue that species change. Darwin wrote a book on “the ORIGINS of man”, meaning where humans came from and where it all began. Asking a Darwinist about the billions of years of evolution that supposedly took place before apes and ape-men appeared on the scene can lead to hours of highly entertaining theories that often involve some form of intelligent design, or some off the wall theory about the necessary components for life piggybacking on crystals from another galaxy. More often than not, however, you’ll get a frustrated attempt to steer the conversation back to the magical point in time when all the intricate and delicately balanced parts of a living ape had evolved to begin the process of becoming humans.

Like so many of Obama’s cabinet picks, his pick for Attorney General, Eric Holder, indicates he won’t be sticking to his campaign promises. In this case his promise to respect our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Eric Holder is an extreme gun control advocate. So extreme, he actually supported the Washington DC gun law that banned residents from keeping any kind of fire arm in their homes for self defense, or any other purpose. He will surely have no problem with a bill currently in Congress that would make any semi-automatic rifles, handguns, or shotguns that are used by law enforcement illegal for the American people to own. They should be banned, according to liberals, because they are not suitable for sporting purposes. It doesn’t even have to be the exact same kind of gun. The Attorney General can decide that a gun is similar enough to a type of weapon used by law enforcement to make it worthy of being banned for the general public. That means my Glock .40 S&W could be deemed illegal just because some law enforcement agencies have their officers use them in the line of duty. Actually, several of my home defense weapons, and guns I use for recreational shooting could become illegal.

Not only is this unconstitutional, it’s moronic. Haven’t we been hearing for years from law enforcement and some politicians that the criminals have the police outgunned with better more high power guns? I guess Congress would have us protect our families from the crook who comes in our house with a sawed off shotgun by using squirt guns, or perhaps diplomacy.

It also serves no purpose other than to gain ground toward an unarmed public, which is their ultimate goal. You don’t stop gun crimes by going after innocent gun owners. You go after the criminals. It’s also been proven in studies of crime statistics that gun ownership among the population cuts down on crime. Banning guns in peoples homes is the equivalent of declaring open season for burglars and criminals. If they think they might actually get shot for threatening someone with a gun or robbing someone, naturally, they will be less likely to perpetrate a crime. If their dumb enough to try it anyway, they’ll likely be less successful in their attempt, and it’ll probably mean one less violent criminal on the streets. It’s common sense. Liberals are a little short on that, though.

The only hope Republicans have of stopping this bill in the new 111th Congress is to hold the bill in committee and hope it dies a slow death - something the Democrats have been masters at doing (think Bolton, or Bush’s judicial nominations), but Republicans have historically been too weak willed to fight those kind of battles. If we want laws like these kept off the books, and our gun rights protected, we all need to contact our Senators and express our extreme displeasure. If our voice is loud enough, maybe they’ll listen. It’s the Republicans only hope of regaining power. The message that should have been sent by the last election is that Conservative Americans are tired of Rinos who don’t listen to the will of their constituents.

Kissinger, a long time foreign policy expert and member of the Bilderberg Group, usually knows what he’s talking about when it comes to globalization. He sees Obama’s situation - taking office when different crises are affecting every part of the globe - as presenting a huge opportunity to finally usher in the New World Order. He has the Messiah image, both internationally and in America, to finally do what globalists have been trying to do for decades. Rapid prophecy fulfillment, the turmoil in the Middle East, Russia’s continued aggression and funding of Arab military programs, and Iran’s nuclear ambitions make this scenario seem even more likely. We should all be watching Israel. It’s God’s prophetic clock.

If any of you are thinking Obama is the Antichrist however, you should know that the Bible is very clear about where the Antichrist will come from, and it’s not America. He will come from the same people who killed Jesus, and later invaded Israel - the Romans. If someone like Obama rises to power in the EU (the old Roman Empire), start looking up. Interestingly the E.U. is coming closer to passing the treaty that replaced the defeated E.U. constitution. That means a powerful U.E. presidency is likely on the horizon. It’s all coming together just as God said it would.

Conflicts across the globe and an international respect for Barack Obama have created the perfect setting for establishment of “a New World Order,” according to Henry Kissinger, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former secretary of state under President Nixon.

Kissinger has long been an integral figure in U.S. foreign policy, holding positions in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations. Author of over a dozen books on foreign policy, Kissinger was also named by President Bush as the chairman of the Sept. 11 investigatory commission.

Kissinger made the remark in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” hosts Mark Haines and Erin Burnett at the New York Stock Exchange, after Burnett asked him what international conflict would define the Obama administration’s foreign policy.

“The president-elect is coming into office at a moment when there is upheaval in many parts of the world simultaneously,” Kissinger responded. “You have India, Pakistan; you have the jihadist movement. So he can’t really say there is one problem, that it’s the most important one. But he can give new impetus to American foreign policy partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world. His task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created. It’s a great opportunity, it isn’t just a crisis.”

Socialism here we come. Obama is just itching to hand out over a trillion dollars in his promised “stimulus package”. The only thing it will stimulate is the deficit, and the bottom line of industries that deserve to go under for their mismanagement and greed. History indicates that recessions follow the same pattern each time we have them, with the exception of Jimmah Carter’s mess. Without the meddling of Socialist Democrats, the market will correct in about another year. But, why waste an excuse to play up a crisis and make major changes. While we’re fighting a war on terrorism is not the time for another four years of Carter.

This man truly scares me. I personally think he has absolutely no freaking clue what he’s doing. Considering his inexperience and love of Marxism, it is disturbing to hear him say things like, “We’ve got to update the whole system to meet the needs of the 21st century”. We may never be able to undo the “updating” this man will do to our free market system. If by updating the system, he means anything like the updating he promoted via ACORN, Frannie Mae, and Freddie Mac that got us into this mess, we’re in big trouble.

What really kills me is how he can get away with this:

He Indicated that he may not seek a quick repeal of President Bush’s tax cuts for people making over $250,000 and will let them expire in 2010.

I thought the evil Bush tax cuts were the cause of the entire problem? What happened to spreading the wealth around by getting rid of those evil tax cuts for the rich. Obama got an education when he went to Washington, and got some tutoring from those who’ve actually had experience in such things, that’s what happened. Wasn’t it Biden, or was it Hillary, who said we can’t afford on the job training at a time like this? The American people will pay for electing a narcissistic liar just because he promised them hope’nchange, and repeated “failed Bush policies” over and over again (the same policies he now intends to keep in place).

Obama plans to propose $310 billion in tax cuts for the middle class and businesses as part of the $775 billion stimulus plan. Some U.S. governors and economists are pushing for a larger package—around $1 trillion—in both spending and tax cuts. Many Republicans want a more modest bill, possibly in the range of $500 billion.

Video: Obama on staying in touch with Wall Street

Obama said he’s concerned that the stimulus money “is spent wisely, that there’s oversight and that there’s transparency.” He also considers tax cuts just as important as spending provisions in the stimulus.

Tax and spend. It’s the liberal way. I’ve also noticed the media is paving the way for Obama’s “New Deal” that will commit billions of dollars to fixing our infrastructure. The History Chanel is even running a special on the crumbling road systems and soliciting stories from citizens about the potholes and post-winter road conditions where they live. As if potholes, in the wake of winter storms, are something new and disastrous that requires a massive government jobs program.

So, Obama’s solution is to spend trillions, put people to work in temporary jobs fixing potholes around the country, and “hope the economy has an upturn in 2009″. I feel so reassured. Lord help us.
