The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech before the U.N. yesterday that may stand in the annals of oratory as one of the best ever delivered. The simple truth was all that was delivered, that, and the simple charge for the U.N. to live up to it's own charter.

I hope along with Mr. Netanyahu that Winston Churchill was incorrect when he talked of the "confirmed unteachability of mankind" and the "want of foresight, the unwillingness to act when action will be simple and effective, the lack of clear thinking, the confusion of counsel until emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong.”

Surely we have progressed in the intervening 6 decades ? I would like to think so, even in the face of the incontrovertible evidence present all around us that we really haven't progressed as far as we should have hoped. It seems it's an all too human trait to not confront Evil until it has gained enough power to affect us on a global scale in terms of the consequences.

I had heard this explanation of the Pledge when it was first aired on Mr. Skeltons show when I was a boy.
Someone in my Second Amendment group sent it as an attachment to the group, and I found that it moved me even more today than when I was a boy. Please listen and if you would, send it on to your friends, we need this reminder more than we ever have before.

Finally, Congress might be actually be responding to corruption in a political organization.

Take note of the 75 that voted to keep to "business as usual" and remember them in the next election..

Teh WON wants to negotiate with a fanatic like this?!?

When even the Old Grey Lady prints the truth about such a wacko as Ahmadinejad, when they are generally apologists for dictators of every stripe, you KNOW you're on the fringe when you seriously try to negotiate with such extremists.

Seems that in his Hopey-Changetude world, Obambi is willing to risk our allies to appease the rabid dog heading up Iran.

Let's see...appeasing enemies inimical to our way of life by exposing our allies to nuclear blackmail...yep, really fine strategic thinking there!
It's like throwing your brother in front of an attacking hungry bear in the hope that he'll be satisfied with that meal and not come after you...

Today is the 8Th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in our Nations life. It should be a day to remember those that died and those heroes that risked their lives in the aftermath of the single most heinous crime yet committed in the 21St Century. Mr. Obama, in a blatantly obvious way, wants to re-brand the day into a "National Day of Service"....of course isn't that the focus of all public events for a Socialist ? I have no problem with having a National Day of Service..say on 9/12, or 9/10. I just object taking what should be a day of memorials and mourning to one of "what can YOU do for the State today?" We can celebrate service to our fellow Citizens on any day, but is just isn't appropriate on this day of all days, 9/11; that Mr. Obama would try to refocus attention to his own agenda is a sign of his overweening hubris, and the contempt he feels for the average American citizen.

Just as the hue and cry went up after Dec. 7, 1941; we should NEVER. FORGET what happened on that sunny morning in September 11, 2001, in New York at the Twin Towers,

in Washington at the Pentagon,

and, most especially, in a farmer's field in Pennsylvania.

Fly your flags, say a prayer for the fallen, remind your neighbors and teach your children what happened on this date, but most of all:

With a court hearing scheduled for tomorrow, Lucas Smith, the owner of a certified copy of a Kenyan birth certificate purported to belong to one Barrack Hussein Obama, has testified, under threat of perjury, that said document is the true birth certificate of pResident Obama. Will it stand up to scrutiny? I have no idea.

I DO find it telling, however, that Mr. Obama has still refused to release his long-form Hawaiian Birth Certificate....or ANY other personal record, for that matter.

I don't want to believe that even the DNC would be so lax as to allow a Constitutionally unqualified person to run, much allow him to be seated as POTUS. While Mr. Obama seems to regard the issue as a matter of his personal privacy, it behooves ANYONE who aspires to be the Chief Executive of this country to be as open as possible to the People in his past activities and associations, not to mention his BASIC qualifications. I can't get a job as a delivery truck driver without my past being reviewed, to include a birth certificate; the office of POTUS should require at least as stringent a review, shouldn't it?

With a scheduled hearing date Tuesday, Lucas Smith, the man who tried to sell an alleged Barack Obama Kenyan birth certificate on eBay, has filed court papers in a high-profile eligibility case insisting – under threat of perjury – that the Obama birth certificate in his possession is the genuine article. (emp. mine D)

Smith filed his affidavit through California attorney Orly Taitz, who has spearheaded several lawsuits challenging Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve as president.

Taitz posted on her blog Smith's declaration, which claims he obtained the alleged birth certificate from Coast General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, and insists it's real.

"The true and correct photocopy of the birth certificate obtained is attached to this affidavit as Exhibit A," the declaration reads. "I declare, certify, verify, state and affirm under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing statements of fact and descriptions of circumstances and events are true and correct."

Smith's affidavit, which includes a copy of the certificate, has been filed with Judge David Carter of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Carter is scheduled to preside over a hearing on the case on Sept. 8.

Taitz stated she believes the swiftly approaching court date prompted Smith into action:"He has been in touch with me for quite a while, and he emailed me the document with his signature," Taitz said. "I think he was trying to figure out the most expedient way to bring his message public, and maybe he felt that because I have a hearing coming, that would be the most expedient way."

Taitz hopes the court will order expedited discovery, a ruling that would open many of Obama's currently sealed documents, including his college records and Hawaiian long-form birth certificate, to court scrutiny.

"We'll see what happens on Tuesday. If Judge Carter has the guts, we may move very fast," Taitz told WND. "If expedited discovery is ordered, I'll be dashing to Occidental College and then be on a flight to Hawaii."

In his filing, Smith declares that he traveled to Kenya in February and paid off a military officer in order to obtain a copy of the birth certificate from Coast General Hospital in Mombasa. The declaration also states that the hospital administrator signed and sealed the copy, which indicates Obama's birth in Africa on Aug. 4, 1961, at 7:24 p.m.

Mr Smith's reputation is such that it does bring serious questions about the documents authenticity, but as he puts it:"It took a guy like me to go and get tangible proof about Obama. I don't mind breaking a few laws or policies here and there. I don't mind paying the military in foreign countries to look the other way ... The military [in Africa] will grant you access to anything for just a few dollars. People are starving. So yes, it takes a guy like me to get things done once in a while."

I DON'T want to be a "Birther"; conspiracy theories generally leave me unimpressed by their adherent's common sense generally and intelligence specifically. Having said that, it still has to give one pause when you consider that:

A. IF Mr. Smith is a fraud, it will easily be found out, and the consequences will not be good for Mr. Smith. (the general perjury statute under Federal law provides for a prison sentence of up to five years)

B. Mr. Smith no longer has any monetary gain to be made on his insistence that the document is genuine; it's been released into the public domain now, so he can't sell it for profit as he originally intended.

C. pResident Obama could easily refute this claim by releasing his Hawaiian Birth Certificate and other records.

Now ask yourself, WHY would a person risk five years in Federal Prison for no personal gain; while the person under investigation is concurrently expending hundreds of thousands of dollars and attorney man hours by 11 different law firms to keep the requested information from public view?

Admittedly, maybe Mr. Smith just wants notoriety, but five years in prison seems a large price to pay for 15 minutes of fame...
You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to smell the smoke of a huge fire, or a large rat lurking in the dark recesses of the White House .

The document below is alleged by Lucas Smith to be Barack Obama's original, authentic birth certificate from Kenya. Judge for yourself. I believe it warrants at least a closer examination of the qualifications of the man who would be our Leader.

You can't make up stuff better than this!

Isn't politics grand?

HURRAH FOR THE DEMOCRATS!

Jesse Jackson's Newest Staff Member

Mel Reynolds

Jesse Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat

Congressman Mel to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll.

Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused

in President Clinton's
last-minute forgiveness spree.

Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year
federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud,

and lies to the Federal Election Commission.

He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving

five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer.

This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had

sex with a subordinate...won clemency from a president who had

sex with a subordinate...then was hired by a clergyman who had

sex with a subordinate!

His new job?

Ready for this??

Just as it was once necessary for our Forefathers to make a statement to assert their desires for freedom from a tyrannical ruler, it has came time for us to do the same and reassert our rights as free and independent men and women from a government that has become antithetical to that freedom and independence.

The following might be termed a REdeclaration of Independence. I am proud to say that it was written by a friend of mine who belongs to the same blog group I do.

I hereby publicly support this statement with no reservations and no disagreements as to content or tenor.

I split the text and put the bulk of the post under the fold merely for the sake of blog efficiency. I urge you to read it all,and please, if you agree with us, add your signature in the comments.

WHEN IN THE GENERATIONS SUCCEEDING the
one that pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to
usher in the birth of the worldÂ’s only truly free nation, LibertyÂ’s
Progeny incrementally ceded their birthright to the government
conceived and designed to serve a free people, and not be its servant,
this generation is awakening to the terrible mistake that we, and our
ancestors allowed to happen. Charged with the terrible knowledge that
comes with opened eyes, we now take up the long abdicated duty to rouse
our fellow citizens and actively wrest the power and the liberties that
have been progressively talked, cajoled, threatened, wheedled, and
extorted from us, not only by those who ostensibly served us, but by
their supporters and enablers who, by accident or design, saw fit to
usurp and disdain such freedoms, that they might be withheld, and where
impossible to withhold, might be condemned, until a corrosive contempt
for these liberties, wrapped in velvet gloves, might so suffocate the
circulation of them that this nation, conceived in liberty and the
providence of a wise and benevolent creator, might indeed perish from
the earth, plunging the rightful heirs of a proud and noble heritage in
the the darkened waters of chaos, despair, and evil that surround them,
a dank deluge that even today, other human beings actively seek to
escape from in the inspiring embrace of this blessed and free country.

With all the hype honoring Ted Kennedy in the course of his death and funeral; it might behoove you to read A Sober Look at Ted Kennedy.

It's an investigative reporter's look into Sen. Kennedy's past that isn't tarnished by bias either pro or con; a "just the facts ma'am" treatise on a man. It was written by Michael Kelly after three months of reporting, thousands of pages of research, and over seventy interviews with everyone in Washington, from congressmen to waiters on Capitol Hill. It was written in 1990..just imagine the shenanigans that Teddy engaged in, SINCE that time, up to his death.

As a side note, Michael Kelly the first reporter killed in Iraq when his Humvee turned over in the course of a terrorist Dissatisfied Islamist attack man-made disastrous event in 2003.

And please, pass it along to your Liberal friends, it'll be fun to watch their heads explode with feigned fury/anguish.

Take the time to watch this speech from the 1964 GOP Convention. Ronald Reagan had it right then, and if you really LISTEN, you'll see just how far astray Teh WON is trying to take us. In 2010 we will face a vital decision; whether to continue down the path of Socialism, or try to return to the strong roots our Founders laid down for us. A Time of Choosing, indeed.

You might want to notice that there is no teleprompter present either...for all that the Left lauds the oratory skills of the Obamatron, ask yourself; when was the last time he spoke in public without that (to him) vital aid. He even uses them in press conferences, the first First Executive to ever do so.

The Senate confirmed Sonia Sotomayor Thursday as the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court. The vote was 68-31 for Sotomayor, President Barack Obama's first high court nominee. She becomes the 111th justice and just the third woman to serve.

Congratulations to Ms. Sotomayor and the Fiddy Two'rs that led to her selection as one of the most powerful people in the U.S.

Since she replaces Justice David Souter, her liberal activist views won't make too much difference initially in the general decisions of the Court, but since there are at least two other Justices that will most likely need to be replaced before the end of pResident Obama's first term; she is the beachhead placement that will swing the Court to be the most radically Liberal it has ever been.

My personal grudge, and I fully admit it's MY bias, is Ms. Sotomayor's cavalier attitude towards the Second Amendment, and her unswerving defense of PC affirmative action (not the TRUE AA of equal opportunity, but the mere plugging in of racial/sexual quota numbers to achieve "fairness").

We can only truly judge her performance once she's been on the Court for a few years and she's had the opportunity to show her true colors; I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for the time being; she may surprise everyone - it has happened before. BUT I would exhort all my fellow believers in the 2Nd A. to batten down the hatches and dig in for the long difficult fight I believe is just beginning. Keep the ammo locker well stocked.

OK, so this poster has started appearing all over the Los Angles area...

So what, You say, just political satire/commentary? Right? The normal snarkyness associated with our freewheeling libertarian type of political system.

Well according to the local Dimicrat powers that be: “Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery;it is mean-spirited and dangerous.”

You know, I never heard ONE word of protest over the last eight years when President Bush was depicted as Hitler, or a big eared monkey, or any of the other 20 variations of satiric depictions that were displayed in the public media on a daily basis; it was just "blowing off some steam" when progressive pundits publicly advocated the assassination of President Bush in (according to them, unserious) tones. Yet let anyone depict their Icon in any manner other than in the most reverent, and it's suddenly a case of being beyond the pale for political discourse.

It's almost as if Hopey-Changetude were a religion with pResident OBamba as its god, and any that questioned Teh WON were committing blasphemy of the highest order...and you know what happened to blasphemers in the past.

Personally, I need to go see a guy at my local print shop and see what it would cost to print a thousand posters .... and maybe see about getting a Nomex firesuit?

Update: This picture was published in Vanity Fair on July 29, 2008....

"Great stuff from the talented Friedman (as always). As "agents of chaos" go, W's right up there with the best of 'em."

"So true. Only his puppet strings are missing. :-)"

"Very good!!!"

"Poor Joker, he doesn't deserve this. Bush isn't good enough to wear his face."

"Brilliant and profound."

And those are just the first five of over 75 comments and they got more malicious as the thread grew...

Goose, don't complain when it's YOU instead of the gander being cooked.

A car dealer in Missouri is offering a free AK-47 with the purchase of a new vehicle from his dealership, and it has a CNN reporterette quaking in her broadcast chair.
She seemed to be most offended that the dealership motto had both the terms of God and guns within the same sentence. The twit also had the idiocy to state ' I can understand the desire to protect oneself, I grew up with weapons in my childhood rural house, but using a "semi-assault" rifle is overkill' O RLY? I'm certain that her father probably had either a 30-30, 30-06 or 12 gauge shotgun, and there is certainly no quantitative difference in lethality between those weapons and an AK-47, but as usual, GFW "reporter" doesn't know her pretty derriere from a cess pit in the ground when it comes to weaponry. That fact doesn't stop her from trying to sow fear among her viewers about the Evil Guns to be released to spread havoc on society by "gasp!" believers in a Higher Deity.

I know who I'd buy my next vehicle from, if I lived in the 'show me' state. Heck, might even be worth a road trip, I need a new truck....

Funny thing about being a Nation run under the idea of The Rule of Law..would-be dictators soon run into the hard fact of life that our Law usually stymies their effort for total control. Justice may be slow, but in the end, it usually prevails.

Just for review, our Constitution states that to be eligible to run for President, one must:

1) Have reached an age of 35 or older, and,

2) Be a naturally born Citizen of the United States.

It is this second requirement that has the "Birthers" in such a state of anger. First of all, there has been no DEFINITIVE proof shown that the current occupant of the Oval Office was indeed, born in the U.S., and secondly, under our Immigration rules; even IF Barry WAS born in the U.S.; that "natural born" status was lost to him when he was adopted by a foreign national and moved to that foreign nationals home country to live. His mother's status as a Native Citizen was not enough for him to retain his Citizenship, as she was too young and had lived outside America too long for that citizenship to be naturally conferred on Barry; under the BEST of circumstances,he would have held Dual Citizenship, and Dual Citizens are barred by the Constitution from holding the Office of President, Vice President, or Speaker of the House.

The FACT that Barrack Hussein Obama was legally adopted by Lolo Soetoro is not in dispute; the FACT that BHO was taken to live in Indonesia, Mr. Soetoro's homeland is not in dispute. The FACT that BHO OFFICIALLY lived in Indonesia as an INDONESIAN CITIZEN seems to be officially ignored by the Democratic Party, the Congress, and certainly the MSM.

Indonesia
L to R, Lolo Soetoro, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro, baby Maya Soetoro, and 9 year old Barry Soetoro (AKA Barack Hussein Obama - President ? of The United States of America)

Somebody help me out here. If our Constitution states that dual citizens are not eligible to serve as President, HOW did Barry get around this little detail?

This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro.
Name: Barry Soetoro
Religion: Islam
Nationality: Indonesian

It was KNOWN by BOTH the Democratic and the Republican parties that this man was NOT ELIGIBLE to run for the office he now sits in; the Democrats didn't care about a little thing like legal eligibility, all they cared about was electability, and the Republicans didn't have the spine to insist on full investigation into the matter of eligibility because they were too frightened about the charges of Racism sure to follow any such demand.

The Republican's own candidate faced the same questions of eligibility and the manner in which the the two men responded demonstrates the difference between the two sides.
Faced with the question, John McCain promptly released every document he needed to to demonstrate that he was, in fact, eligible. McCain refused to make BHO's status an issue, despite the fact that the Democrats had rabidly tried to bar him (from running) by the same reasoning with far less evidence.

Barrack Hussein Obama Soetoro, on the other hand has STILL not released ANY documents to demonstrate that eligibility; indeed, he has spent over a million dollars and employed eleven separate law firms in the court fights to prevent the release of ANY of his documents.
There is no reason to take those type of actions unless there is something in those documents that would preclude this man from even running, much less holding, the Office of President.

The old adage that "where there is smoke, there is fire" would certainly seem to apply. Do we REALLY want a man in our highest Office that can't even be honest enough to stand the scrutiny required to be involved in high political office? One who by his policies has shown his disregard for the privacy of the ordinary Citizen in matters of Health-Care, Finance,Job Security; indeed, even in the types of automobiles that will be available to them; yet still insists on TOTAL privacy for himself?

I not only say no, I say HELL NO! Unless he shows us his Bona Fides; he should be impeached, at the VERY least.

The time to lock and load and join the skirmish line is drawing nigh quickly; I hope to see you beside me rather than in my gun sights, the prospect of firing upon my fellow Citizens is abhorrent to me, but less abhorrent than allowing our Republic to slide into Fascism without at least a good fight being brought against it.

A friend of mine, Eric Faust, wrote the following post on his Face Book page; I was so impressed with it that I asked him if I could post it here and he graciously gave me permission to do so...Take it away, Eric !

C'mon - That'll never happen in America!

" What would you say if I gave you 11 reasons why the elections in 2010 will be the most important in the history of the United States?"

1. What if I had told you in October 2008, before the last
presidential election, that before Barack Obama's first 100 days in office,
the federal government would be in control of both the mortgage and the banking industries?
That 19 of America's largest banks would be forced to undergo stress tests by the
federal government which would determine if they were insufficiently capitalized,
so they must be supervised by the government?
Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

2. What if I had told you that within Barack Obama's first 100 days
in office the federal government would be the largest shareholder in
the US Big-Three automakers: Ford, GM, and Chrysler? That the
government would kick out the CEO's of these companies and
appoint hand-picked executives with zero experience in the auto
industry and that executive compensation would be determined, not by a
Board of Directors, but by the government?
Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

3. What if I had told you that Barack Obama would appoint 32 Czars,
without congressional approval, accountable only to him, not to the
voters, who would have control over a wide range of US policy decisions.
That there would be a Stimulus Accountability Czar, an Urban Czar,
a Compensation Czar, an Iran Czar, an Auto Industry Czar,
a Cyber Security Czar, an Energy Czar, a Bank Bailout Czar, and more
than a dozen other government bureaucrats with unchecked regulatory
powers over US domestic and foreign policy.
Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

4. What if I had told you that the federal deficit would be $915
billion in the first six months of the Obama presidency - with a
projected annual deficit of $1.75 trillion - triple the $454.8
billion in 2008, for which the previous administration was highly
criticized by Obama and his fellow Democrats. That congress would
pass Obama's $3.53 trillion federal budget for fiscal 2010. That the
projected deficit over the next ten years would be greater than $10
trillion.
Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

5. What if I had told you that the Obama Justice Department would
order FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high-value detainees
captured on the battlefield and held at US military detention
facilities in Afghanistan. That Obama would order the closing of
the Guantanamo detention facility with no plan for the disposition of
the 200-plus individuals held there. That several of the suspected
terrorists at Guantanamo would be sent to live in freedom
in Bermuda at the expense of the US government. That our returning US
veterans would be labeled terrorists and put on a watch list.
Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

6. What if I had told you that the federal government would seek
powers to seize key companies whose failures could jeopardize the
financial system. That a new regulatory agency would be proposed by
Obama to control loans, credit cards, mortgage-backed securities, and
other financial products offered to the public.
Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

7. What if I had told you that Obama would travel to the Middle East,
bow before the Saudi king, and repeatedly apologize for America's past
actions. That he would travel to Latin America where he would warmly
greet Venezuela's strongman Hugo Chavez and sit passively in the
audience while Nicaraguan Marxist thug Daniel Ortega charged
America with terrorist aggression in Central America.
Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

8. Okay, now what if I were to tell you that Obama wants to dismantle
conservative talk radio through the imposition of a new "Fairness
Doctrine." That he wants to curtail the First Amendment rights of
those who may disagree with his policies via Internet blogs, cable
news networks, or advocacy ads. That most major network television
and most newspapers will only sing his phrases like state-run media
in communist countries?
Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

9. What if I were to tell you that the Obama Justice Department is
doing everything it can to limit your Second Amendment rights to keep
and bear arms. That the federal government wants to reinstate the
so-called assault weapons ban which would prohibit the sale of any
type of firearm that requires the shooter to pull the trigger every
time a round is fired. That Obama's Attorney General wants to
eliminate the sale of virtually all handguns and ammunition,
which most citizens choose for self-defense.
Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

10. What if I were to tell you that the Obama plan is to eliminate
states rights guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment and give the federal
government sweeping new powers over policies currently under the
province of local and state governments and voted on by the people.
That Obama plans to control the schools, energy production,
the environment, health care, and the wealth of every US citizen.
Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

11. What if I were to tell you that the president, the courts, and the federal government
have ignored the US Constitution and have seized powers which the founders of our country
fought to restrict. That our last presidential election may have been our last truly free election
for some time to come. That our next presidential election may look similar to the one recently
held in Iran. (And maybe under review by ACORN.)
I know, I know what you will say. That will never happen in America.

If we don't do everything in our power to stop this madness in 2010,
may God have mercy on our souls. Pass this on to every freedom loving American you can.
Thank you.

Finally, after months of controversy and dissension on Mr. Obama's legal citizenship status, the Obama family has released his birth certificate to be perused by the general public. Seems the Fiddy Twoers were correct, and he is a natural born citizen; here's the proof:

So at last we can move on, secure in the knowledge that we can only question the Resident's performance, not his basic eligibility for the position he holds...

President Barack Obama said in Turkey :

"We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."

OH REALLY Mr. Obama? Maybe in your revisionist socialist subset of acquaintances there isn't much referral to a supreme Deity, but historically, we were and always HAVE been, a religious people.

I found this very interesting.

Do you know the Preamble for your state?

Alabama 1901, Preamble:
We the people of the State of Alabama , invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God, do ordain and establish the following Constitution..

Alaska 1956, Preamble: We, the people of Alaska , grateful to God and to those who founded our nation and pioneered this great land.

Arizona 1911, Preamble: We, the people of the State of Arizona , grateful to Almighty God for our liberties, do ordain this Constitution...

Arkansas 1874, Preamble: We, the people of the State of Arkansas , grateful to Almighty God for the privilege of choosing our own form of government...

California 1879, Preamble: We, the People of the State of California , grateful to Almighty God for our freedom...

After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that maybe, the ACLU and the out-of-control federal courts are wrong! If you found this to be 'food for thought' pass this along to as many as you think will be enlightened, as I hope you were. Considering ALL 50 states ackowledge a debt to God for their freedoms and form of self governence, I think it safe to say that we were, indeed, founded as a religious nation, and continued to be so at least up to the inclusion of the 50th State, Hawaii, in 1959. It is the New Order socialists that seem to fear acknowledging that fact...maybe because it would be an impediment to their gaining and using power?

(Please note that at no time is anyone told that they MUST worship God.)


GOD BLESS AMERICA

"Capitalists don't view profits as evil or the product of greed. Their opponents -- call them Marxists, fascists, socialists, radical liberals or whatever -- do. Which brings us ... to Barack Obama. Both his father, Barack Obama Sr., and his mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, were communists. His church of choice was one of black liberation theology, whose Marxist roots are inarguable. He associated with far leftists on the 'organizing' streets of Chicago, including Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Mentorship and associations are one thing, but what have Obama's words and actions revealed about his attitudes toward labor, capital, profits and government control of business and industry? Well, he said that he would raise capital gains tax rates, even if it reduced revenues, as a matter of fairness. It's only fair to make everyone poorer if you believe profits are inherently evil. He told Joe the Plumber he wants to spread the wealth around. He talked about confiscating Exxon Mobil's profits and giving them to consumers, saying 'they are not going to give up those profits easily.' He called Chrysler creditors 'speculators' and castigated them for refusing to accept his extortionist reorganization plan. He berated Wall Street for making profits, saying 'now is not (the) time' for them to 'rake in profits.' He and his wife even railed against the pursuit of profit in their respective commencement addresses. He abused the power of his office to steal money from GM and Chrysler shareholders and transfer it to the proletariat, I mean, the United Auto Workers. He redistributed taxpayer money from those who have paid their mortgages to those who have not. He is desperately trying to spread the misery and impoverish businesses and individuals through his cap and tax plan, which no proponent of economic growth and prosperity would consider supporting. And in addition to gobbling up other businesses and industries, he is trying to nationalize medicine -- to siphon off the evil surplus value charged by doctors and insurance companies -- on the flawed Marxist theory that he can reduce costs overall, when the reason health care costs have already skyrocketed is that market forces have been suppressed in the industry. You don't have to call him a Marxist, but at least understand where his heart is." -- David Limbaugh

I would call Mr. Obama not only a Marxist, but a Fascist to boot, not to mention an unqualified Usurper to the Office he holds.
