It angers me that many conservatives — though they have done a great job at holding liberals accountable for their desired health care takeover — have not taken the President to task over his idea for student loan debt forgiveness.
I just graduated an online technical university about two years ago. I work full-time for a living so many liberals would criticize me and probably say that it was because I wasn’t smart enough to study accounting in the Ivy League. I used an online university for the convenience and paid about $50K for a standard Bachelor’s Degree. I was an A student, I even did it full-time while I pushed through various tax seasons. But I am proud of what was available and affordable to me and of my academic achievements. All in all I felt good for working hard and getting through it. Anybody could have done it, but sadly, many won’t.
As non-elite as my University was, just as Sarah Palin’s state-level university, I received a quality education for a price I could afford. Just as Sarah Palin did, just as Reagan did, etc.
Just as Sarah Palin did, I CONTINUED TO WORK full-time through school and made monthly payments to the University. I came out of it owing about $27,000 in student loans. Palin came out owing nothing as she’d take breaks to work and save up more money to pay for another part.
For the last two years, I have made regular monthly payments. In addition, I’ve sent extra payments towards the principal balance reducing the debt substantially. I have a couple years left, but I will pay it, because I borrowed it!
University elites will continue to jack up education costs — the same university board members that contain the likes of folks like Obama and Bill Ayers. What better way to hand it all out to folks than to offer a tax credit of up to $10,000 for students, right? So, basically, we get 100 people doing what only 10 had the courage and wisdom to do without the government steak waved in front of them. Less competition, less folks caring about the quality of their education, less folks paying attention, plus a lot more beer drinking and pre-marital sex.
Why? Why don’t we notice the President’s own words in his State of the Union address where he announced plans to forgive student loan debt after 20 years for anyone? And what happens if you enter college and prep for public service? Yep, you get your debt forgiven after only TEN years!
This is a blatant attempt to grow socialism which involves buffeting children in the public schools, entice them to enter college and rack up $100K in debt and wind up paying back only about half of that. Then what happens? Are the schools going to reimburse the government the difference or will it be burdened on taxpayers?
And just why does a choice for public office get you a 10-year faster benefit for loan forgiveness?
Could it be that we want kids dependent on the government from the moment they enter school to the moment they get their first job? Could it be that we are working to church out a greater number of government workers than we are free-market capitalists? Then what happens after that? More votes for the future Hugo Chavez’s of this country!
Folks, if this “proposal” becomes a reality, we are looking at a disaster that will cause as much trouble as the United States Government getting its hands on health care.
Say NO! Otherwise the Congressman representing your district in 20 years just might be a person who couldn’t pay off his own damn debt that he created and felt entitled to.
We already see what happens through Obama, the Clintons, and even worse – the Kennedys – when politicians are bred from birth. The best politicians who delivered the best for Americans like Washington, Reagan, or even Palin as leader of her town or state — are people who were forced to be Americans first. People who were forced to work in the free market. Not in universities, law schools, and fancy prep schools.
If this disaster happens, you can expect millions more in the next couple of generations.
I saw Shutter Island last night and I must say, it’s a great film anyone looking to take the wind out of their Friday sails. I think the most uplifting part of my night was the Iron Man 2 trailer. After that, it was all insanity and sad stories and Nazi Germany war crime flashbacks.
With that said, Leonardo DiCaprio’s character,Teddy Daniels, asks a great question at the end of the film: “Is it better to live as a monster or die a good man.”
I promise I won’t ruin the film like someone who tells you Bruce Willis is dead at the end of Sixth Sense, but I would like draw some parallels between this film and the federal government:
Teddy Daniels gets himself stuck in a federal penitentiary for the criminally insane. Many of the inmates don’t even know they’re locked into an insane asylum. They put up mental barriers to block any knowledge that the federal government is holding them, and often concoct rosy realities to deal with their loss of freedom.
In some ways our world is the flip side of that coin: very sane people like Peggy Joseph, who I mentioned shortly before seeing the movie, are actually trapped in a federal prison without even knowing it. And yes, they’re so deluded that they think Barack Obama will make their mortgage payments!
As I mentioned yesterday, government dependence is like a drug. It saps the will of free people to realize their greatest potential. It’s the federal government saying, “You need me,” when…you don’t.
Think back on your own life milestones. Think back to all those moments where you had to dig and scratch and claw and fight for something you weren’t sure was attainable–and the moment where you questioned whether you had the strength or the intelligence or will to go on–right before you succeeded. How did you feel afterward? If you’re like me you were shocked, heartened, and invigorated. And if you’re like me you were a little disappointed in yourself for all the times you second-guessed yourself and thought about giving in, knowing that if you had done so the success before you would have never been realized.
And THAT is what a massive federal government takes away from its people. And THAT is a crime. Politicians who promise you the stars in the sky at someone else’s expense (“e.g., “fat cat” businessmen, “Big Oil”, “Wallstreet”, etc.) aren’t telling you the whole truth. Sure, they’re taking money from a third party and redistributing wealth (which is also wrong), but they’re also stealing something much more important than money–from you. They’re stealing the spark that turns what’s special inside of you into an explosion of technology, art, ideas, businesses, and acts of greatness that benefit all mankind. And you should be livid. And you should be angry. And you should not drink the water.
Because when you refuse to take their little pills, they’ll be the ones who go insane.
Watch the man behind the curtain, I’ve been noticing a lot of political things being said while the opposite is enacted. It just happens that House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid play their games really well, if you like that kind of slimy leadership.
Who thought voting these types of politicians into our Congress was a good idea anyway? Don’t you like things being above board?
If you were an entrepreneur and had to appoint a board of directors to become an S Corporation, are you going to consider people that tell you what you want to hear or tell you the truth? Would it do your corporation any good for those directors to bulldoze ideas into policy at the expense of relationships, real solutions, ethics and quite frankly, the very viability of the company.
Your Board of Directors are supposed to be seasoned business people that have an ethical obligation to direct your company down a successful path, giving honest opinions regarding new or tried and true business strategies, techniques and investment decisions.
Pelosi mentioning she has an ethical house doesn’t mean it’s true, her stating something that might sound good doesn’t mean it’s really so. It’s a non-accountable lie, as the game is played. If our media was doing their job ethically we would be inundated with unaccountable lies. You can readily find evidence that actions or motives are opposite of what she said but technically, if confronted she was only mistaken because she “may” have believed what she said. Unaccountable lies, like placebos, do work sometimes.
As Senator Lamar Alexander laid out his request to the President of scrapping the proposed plan and start fresh with a clean sheet of paper in a non-partisan manner with economically sound alternatives to incorporate, Pelosi and Reid couldn’t even look at him as he spoke. The two mostly just stared straight ahead until the speech was finished. That was a clear indication of contempt and disrespect, not behavior one would hope for the caliber of their positions. The president’s behavior wasn’t very presidential either, while the whole forum explicitly showed the distasteful ploys of not playing nice, I fully expected the three, at any moment would pick up their bat and ball and go home, which they eventually did.
Pelosi’s stance on the healthcare freight train could also be construed as dogmatic pretense. A recurring suspicion regurgitated in the pit of my stomach as her, Reid’s and Obama’s speeches choreographed with a blatant disregard to the opposition was unbecomingly focused on who could out dramatize each other’s stories of suffering, I suppose an attempt proving the right to healthcare as opposed to a privilege.
I couldn’t even listen to Reid’s speech, I was so disgusted.
If you believe that healthcare is a right, then it must follow that you ultimately believe that irresponsible people have the right to be a burden on the responsible. Or that irresponsible people have the right to infringe on the rights of someone else. Why? If someone overeats, smokes too much, drinks too much, doesn’t exercise, practices unsafe intimate interactions, drives carelessly, puts minimum or no effort into their upward mobility in the business world etc. has the right to make someone else pay for their poor choices then the people that have to pay have their rights revoked.
Another argument is, if healthcare is a right then certainly other things not deemed as rights (governmental handouts) would be considerably more essential to life than healthcare such as water, food, housing, clothing, a job, a car to get to that job etc.
For the lawmakers that pretend to be going forth with a gift for the American people because they deserve it is farcical, nothing more than a power grab. It was unnecessary and unfair for the Democrats to write up the bills while blocking any Republican participation in the first place. They wrote what they wanted to ram through congress and over a year into it claim they’re giving one more shot at bipartisanship after a Scott Brown wrench was thrown in.
The President sat at the table and whined, basically saying the Republicans kept throwing those good ideas at me and I’ve already rejected those good ideas so I’m just going to call them “talking points”. The President having to remind us he is the president and reminding John McCain that the election is over is just tactless. Who is the arrogant one still in campaign mode?
Let’s not even focus on the egregiously economic drain the massive healthcare proposition currently debated would have on an already overly spent deficit. Let’s instead focus on the fact they couldn’t even implement and procure a solvent Medicaid and Medicare system in the first place, nor Social Security program for that matter. All those brilliant economists in government and as consultants couldn’t even devise a self sufficient plan for all those New Deals. Medicare was discussed for over two decades before being signed into law in 1965. Probably since its inception they knew the programs could never be sustainable, even when the public found out the trouble these programs were in they haven’t been able to come up with solutions to fix the existing noose around the economy’s neck. Yet they want to deliver us another new deal. They would have had more credibility and subsequently more support by fixing what they already had in place.
Remember socialism isn’t for the socialists, it’s for everyone else, the socialists, progressives and federal employees all have primo healthcare plans (Cadillac plans) while pretending to throw us a bone, they want to redistribute your wealth not theirs.
In an interview on Sunday, Mr. Obama said he did not regret pursuing health care in the first year of his presidency, even though he intends to place a higher priority on job creation this year.
Mr. President, I don’t think I’m alone on this one, but I regret you didn’t focus on job creation as your first order of business; instead you let it slide for year two and pursued everything but.
Posted by: Audiegrl Washington Post/Robin Givhan~~First lady Michelle Obama sits in an upholstered armchair in her East Wing office, a generous bowl of fresh apples on a nearby table. She wears a body-conscious gray sleeveless sheath with an artful corsage of matching fabric decorating the right shoulder. A petite Georgetown student — one of the young ladies from the White House mentoring program Obama established last year — quietly observes as the first lady discusses the role physical fitness played in her Chicago girlhood.
The tableau contains all the elements that have defined Obama’s time in the White House: youth outreach, distinctive style, healthful food and fitness. Of all these, nutrition and physical activity are key to the legacy Obama would like to leave. They’re essential to her national rallying cry to end the crisis of childhood obesity in a generation.
Obama launched her sweeping initiative, Let’s Move, in an early February publicity surge that had her discussing “food deserts” and the urgency of clearer labeling. She lobbied the National Governors Association before its members partied at the White House. She visited schools and at a Philadelphia grocery store pulled out a $20 bill to buy a banana-strawberry smoothie. The statistics she has repeated are both jarring and daunting: One in three children is overweight or obese. The dollars she has proposed the federal government dedicate to the dilemma are significant: at least $10 billion over 10 years.

Health care reform proposals from the president and GOP will take center stage at a Feb. 24 bipartisan summit that the White House hopes will pave the way to enactment of broad reform. President Obama’s plan builds on the Senate-passed bill, with higher thresholds triggering a “high-cost plan” excise tax and new rules for employer plans. House Republican leaders are offering a bill to curb medical malpractice lawsuits and let insurers sell policies across state lines, among other things. Amid the legislative uncertainty, a Mercer survey finds that most employers have yet to take major action based on potential reforms.

In 2006 University of South Florida computer-science professor Sami al-Arian pled guilty to aiding Palestinian Islamic Jihad and was sentenced to more than four years in prison. At the time of al-Arian’s arrest, then Attorney General John Ashcroft called it “one of the most violent terrorist organizations in the world.”
Before al-Arian pled guilty, Rashad Hussain (appointed Deputy Associate Counsel to President Obama in January 2009) told a 2004 panel discussion on civil rights at a Muslim Students Association conference in Chicago that al-Arian’s very prosecution was “a travesty of justice” that fit a “common pattern … of politically-motivated prosecutions.” read more

Should We Believe Rashad Hussain? (danielpipes.org)
The case of Rashad Hussain, part 2 (powerlineblog.com)
I wouldn’t. I don’t know what Tom Corbett stands for, and besides, he’s a self-proclaimed, unapologetic moderate. Just the same, there will be other conservatives that will vote Corbett despite that they, too, have no idea what he stands for.
Why would strong minded, intelligent, conscientious conservatives settle for party when they could have a principled candidate of the people, like Sam Rohrer, instead? Sadly, I believe when it comes down to it, voters have more faith in the party than in the people. If this faith-challenged group had as much confidence in the people, as they do in the GOP’s ability to influence votes, surely they would feel free to vote for principle, values, honor and integrity above all else.
That said, my intent is not to insult intelligence by heralding what may be obvious, but rather to narrow in on the challenge and the solution. If we’re to erect the strength of our resolve, it seems to me we must first establish it amongst ourselves.
And it’s not like we’re not trying. We assemble here and meet there. We create groups, websites and so on. We reach out and so many work tirelessly to grow the movement, but in my humble opinion, what we lack most is communication that can unite us. I suspect we are much larger than any of us is aware, but size alone will not keep the movement afloat. The great Titanic may never have sunk, after all, if it had utilized communication with the nearby Californian. Our size and strength will only have an impact if we are able to conceive it.
There is a group on Facebook that may have the potential to help us conceptualize the size and strength of our movement. Pact for Principles in Pennsylvania Politics, is an online location where we can gather under one roof. Not only is it a place, however, it’s a pact.
Why Facebook? Of all online social networks, not only is Facebook the fastest growing, it has so many members that if it were a country, it would be the fourth largest in the world. As of April 2009, half of Americans had a Facebook page. Certainly the GOP has one.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a Tea Partier, Patriot, 912er, Republican, Libertarian, Democrat–whatever. What matters is that we have a public place to assemble under one roof, where we can see names, faces and numbers that can win.
If we can spread the word to our like-minded friends that such a place exists, and direct them to it, we can establish evidence in numbers that will build the confidence we need to make the grassroots flourish.
After much research, we have found a rare piece of movie footage from THE GREAT OBAMA’s grade school days. We might not be able to find his birth certificate, but we now know what a typical school day was for him. What is even more amazing is that a few other democrats attended the same school with him:
Wow, after seeing this Ed Mazlish’s is right, government has no business teaching our children. Look at the little monsters it turns out.
“My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.” Barack Hussein Obama
H/T to this tweet byBen Domenech for alerting me to it.
A while back I did a post on the “Beer Summit” highlighting Obama’s lack of concern for those around him. The picture from Ben Domenech’s tweet reminded me of that. Take a look at it:
The man comforting the child is Harold Ford, a man who unsuccessfully sought Bill Frist’s old Senate seat in Tennessee back in 2006 (he lost to Bob Corker, for the record), and he’s trying to primary Hillary Clinton’s replacement in New York, Kirsten Gillibrand.
Obama, meanwhile, is minding his own business in the background looking off into the distance somewhere seemingly unaware of what’s happening in front of him.
Looking at that picture, I couldn’t help but think about how President Bush might have reacted in this situation, and how different the two men are.
So, then, how would Bush have reacted? There is ample evidence from which to judge. Perhaps most notable is this one image:
Says the Cincinnati Enquirer:
In a moment largely unnoticed by the throngs of people in Lebanon waiting for autographs from the president of the United States, George W. Bush stopped to hold a teenager’s head close to his heart.
Lynn Faulkner, his daughter, Ashley, and their neighbor, Linda Prince, eagerly waited to shake the president’s hand Tuesday at the Golden Lamb Inn. He worked the line at a steady campaign pace, smiling, nodding and signing autographs until Prince spoke:
“This girl lost her mom in the World Trade Center on 9-11.”
Bush stopped and turned back.
“He changed from being the leader of the free world to being a father, a husband and a man,” Faulkner said. “He looked right at her and said, ‘How are you doing?’ He reached out with his hand and pulled her into his chest.”
Faulkner snapped one frame with his camera.
“I could hear her say, ‘I’m OK,’ ” he said. “That’s more emotion than she has shown in 21/2 years. Then he said, ‘I can see you have a father who loves you very much.’ “
“And I said, ‘I do, Mr. President, but I miss her mother every day.’ It was a special moment.”
Ron Boat has this picture posted on his Facebook and had this to say as the caption:
From Ron Boat: In contrast to our current insensitive, politically opportunistic pres, people i know who know Bushs 41 & 43 say the family is truly caring and concerned. Even the Friday of Ft. Hood, Pres and Mrs Bush secretly went to the hospital to see the wounded and INSISTED that the press not know or tell anyone. Only the week after did the word leak out they went to show their concern. What a difference a year makes. I needed to add this: From Valerie Geibel-Wells “I am from the area (this was at a rally in Lebanon, OH) and know this family. Her mother was lost in 9.11 and was a wonderful humanitarian. They never found her remains and the girl was devastated – this was honest compassion from the leader of the free world who as he walked by her someone yelled to him “she lost her mother in the Trade Centers… See More” and he stopped and turned around and came back and hugged this girl for what seemed an eternity – something we don’t get now. He is true to America and never put us down.” Thanks Valerie. (Thanks for posting this Ron!)
Looking at these pictures, with the one of Sgt. Crowley I discussed earlier, and comparing them, I can only come to the conclusion that he just doesn’t care.
It’s not a conclusion I want to make about the leader of the free world, but it’s what I see when I look at these pictures.
“I made statements on that panel that I now recognize were ill conceived or not well formulated.” Rashad Hussain, President Obama’s new envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference
“Someone is lying here about whether President Obama’s Islamic envoy defended jihadi professor Sami al-Arian.” Michelle Malkin
Who has the BS flag!? When are Americans going to realize that Muslims are commanded by the Koran to say “F*** the US Constitution!”? How long will the West continue to play patty-cake with rag heads instead of taking a cue from the Russians and begin playing “Cowboys and Muslims”?
The plain fact is this: The West is not killing enough Muslims and those the West is killing don’t amount to a drop in the bucket. From a strictly humanist and survival perspective, there are nearly one billion Muslims that threaten the West’s very existence!
Although there are many loving Christians and non-Christians who want to see Islam’s adherents accepted within our borders, the ugly truth still remains: Muslims are not becoming part of the American culture, they are using the 60’s style “tantrums” of the Left to advance their anti-West agenda, and Obama’s envoy is just another example of this fact.
Frankly, it’s time for the West to “man up” and do what is has to do, in order to protect our country, our families and our freedom. Islam has two options for the West: Death or enslavement. There is no “in between,” and those who persist in advancing the “moderate Muslim” lie are just as dangerous as Bin Laden.
Unfortunately, it appears the US will capitulate, just as many other Western countries have given-in to the “Rag Head Menace.” Instead of using their living guts to “grease the treads of our tanks” and defiling their corpses with pig body parts (thank you, General Pershing), our country reads them “rights” they don’t even enjoy! Meanwhile, to defocus Americans from the urgency of the situation, Obama creates financial crisis after financial crisis. Crises that are driven by policies that are amateurish and simultaneously deriving cover from The Loonies (Reid and Pelosi) rants.
Maybe when one of Obama’s “tingly leg” apologists has his guts ripped out by a Muslim-wielded scimitar Americans will finally step-up and say “SHUT UP” to the diversity fascists. My guess? By then it will be too late to save the Republic.
The ominous sky over Lake Kankakee paled in contrast to the groundswell. The summer of restlessness was disconcerting to Evan Bayh, town hall meetings weren’t his preference. So, while Mike Pence (R) was in Ft. Wayne, enlightening those to the foils of Obamacare, Baron Hill (D) was calling his 9th Congressional District constituents “political terrorists.” Evan Bayh wanted no part of it.
The wheels of disconnect were already in motion for the two-term Indiana Senator, who by mid-August hadn’t held a town hall, instead saying, “its something I might do in the future” if I ever feel I’m being cut out of the debate.” A onetime consideration as an Obama running-mate, Bayh becomes the third Democratic senator to walk in 2010. Having never held an Obamacare Town Hall, Bayh paradoxically said he loved serving the citizens, but didn’t love Congress.
What the moderate Bayh couldn’t fix were his falling poll numbers and the unending destruction of the Democratic Party by the radical Obama-Pelosi-Reid regime. Not since the Reagan Revolution, creation of Reagan Democrats or Newt Gingrich’s 1994 Contract with America have the Democrats fallen off the radar of reality. Once leading the rallying cry for Obamanomics, Bayh could do little more than helplessly watch the economic downturn in cities like Elkhart, Ft. Wayne, Indianapolis, and across America.
Therein lays the snag for Democrats in both Houses whose feeding tubes stop dripping after November. While Bayh said he stood “for progress, not politics,” that premise wasn’t made easier when in the week of February, Obama told Democrats to remember why they were there in the first place.
If Bayh was able to avoid the voters last summer, he may not be able to evade the final piece of the Democrat’s stronghold on disaster. Lord Obama also mandated that “even though it’s hard,” Democrats need to get out there and finish the job of financial regulation and health care.
Without GOP input, however, Obamacare can only move forward through reconciliation; passing with 51 votes instead of the now filibuster-proof 60 in the Senate, something former Clinton White House aide and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, Bill Galston says Democrats have to do “to show the country they are capable of governing.” That of course would be the sword twisting through the Democrat’s gut and all but insure a Republican sweep in the midterms.
Will Evan Bayh’s vote be among those 51? Given his reasons for bowing out, you’d have to think not, but then again, he steered clear of the voices of discontent, so stay tuned.
An update to the story first reported at the Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report which among other things, identified the removal of a quote from Obama’s new Special Envoy to the OIC in which Rashad Hussain defended a convicted terror-supporter Sami al Arian.
Conveniently, that quote is reported to have been removed just days after Obama appointed the same Rashad Hussain to serve as his Deputy Associate Counsel one year ago, which we posted here on February 3, 2009. But the reason behind the deletion of Hussain’s quote is still not clear – even after blaming an intern – who denies any error, blaming infidels, and then admitting a mistake in defending why the quote was deleted.
Patrick Goodenough has more from CNS News:
Responding to queries first sent on Sunday, Hanley said Tuesday that the comments attributed to Hussain were actually made by another person attending the event in Chicago, Sami al-Arian’s daughter, Laila al-Arian.
Hanley said an “intern” who attended the event and wrote the story had made an “error.” When this was discovered, the quotes were deleted, she said.
But the writer, contacted by e-mail on Tuesday, denied this.
“When I worked as a reporter at WRMEA, I understood how important it was to quote the right person, and accurately,” Shereen Kandil said. “I have never mixed my sources and wouldn’t have quoted Rashad Hussain if it came from Laila al-Arian.”
“If the editors from WRMEA felt they wanted to remove Rashad Hussain from the article, my assumption is that they did it for reasons other than what you’re saying,” she said. “They never once contacted me about an ‘error’ they claim I made.”
Kandil also said that at the time the story was published, she had completed her internship and had been a full-time WRMEA staff member for five months.
‘A simple error, no big cover-up’
Hanley conceded later on Tuesday that she may have made a mistake, but denied that there was a cover-up.
“My memory was that Shereen had been contacted about this and she had told me to change it,” said Hanley. “So I must have made a mistake if she denies it. Perhaps someone contacted our Web master directly.”
After looking further into the matter, Hanley said several hours later that the WRMEA Web master thought the archived story had been altered on Feb. 5, 2009, although it was also possible that the change had been made “when our Web site began an ongoing redesign.”
Hussain was named as a White House deputy associate counsel on January 28, 2009.
All the hallmarks of a good coverup. Of course, Hussain’s defense of al-Arian and the resulting cover-up is just one of the troubling aspects of Obama’s new Special Envoy. As pointed out in the GMBDR post – Hussain has a long standing record of meeting with and associating with Muslim Brotherhood entities and individuals – which is being ignored by the media.
I guess the infatuation of Germans with Narcissus Rex is officially over now:
This was found in the comments at this post on the Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, which had this float:
Mardi Gras has become a celebration of vice before forty days of, well, supposed virtue. It’s one of those fun curiosities about the culturally Christian world: People eat and drink gluttonously as a sort of religious observance.
One of the ways vice is simultaneously vilified and celebrated is on the floats that parade through New Orleans, filled with masked people who throw beads and toys to the passersby. In one parade this year, spectators enjoy a hilarious twenty-float lineup of what one might call winners of the Greatest Vices of the Year: Senator Edwards, Senator Vitter, and Governor Sanford are spotlighted on a lust-themed float as “Politicians Gone Wild!”; New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Na[g]in is painted “asleep at the wheel,” accused of negligence and bad time management on a sloth-themed float; and Bernard Madoff appears on a pyramid as “Pharaoh Made-off” on a greed-themed float that describes him as “the modern-day Judas who was traitor to his own tribe for only 20 million pieces of silver.”
Among these scandalous float figures is President Barack Obama.
On a pride-themed float called “Experiment of His Own Power,” Obama is compared to “The Proud One” of Dante’s Inferno, posing with his Nobel Peace Prize medal, next to several other representations of him—along with Oscar and Heisman Trophy awards, he appears as a five-star general, president of General Motors, and as the “healthcare-expert” Surgeon General—all engulfed by the flames of hell.
[...] In related news… [...] a majority of Americans believe that Barack Obama does not deserve a second term.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, issued a statement late Saturday in response to President Obama’s Friday invite to a bipartisan Health Care Summit at the White House.
Boehner and other Republican leaders are complaining that the event is simply political gamesmanship and that Obama is planning to have a health care deal finalized before anyone even sits down at the meeting, which is scheduled to take place on Feb. 25.

February 16, 2010: Paul Joseph Watson / Prison Planet.com - February 15, 2010
Newsweek has published what undoubtedly amounts to the most feeble, sophomoric, and embarrassing hit piece ever written, penned by an intern fresh out of college who pathetically attempts to dismiss manifestly provable conspiracies with one sentence throwaway jibes that sound like the fodder of an immature and misinformed middle school debate team.
The author of the hit piece, entitled Know Your Conspiracies, NEWSWEEK’s guide to today’s trendiest, hippest, and least likely fringe beliefs, is one David A. Graham, a 2009 graduate of Duke University and a Newsweek intern since August, a fresh face obviously keen to prove to his bosses that he’ll make for a good journalistic whore so as to seamlessly blend in with the rest of the corporate hacks at the magazine. Unfortunately for Graham, his first mistake was to believe that Newsweek’s reputation alone as a trusted source of information was enough to excuse his lazy journalism and complete lack of research into any of the topics raised. Sadly, since nobody trusts the mainstream media anymore, merely attempting to dictate what constitutes reality by glibly scoffing “enough said” to dismiss a claim does not equate to a thorough debunking, Mr. Graham.
That’s how Graham “debunks” the 9/11 truth movement, prefacing it with, “Not even the staunchest mainstream George W. Bush bashers believe this one.” Graham was obviously too busy making the coffee for his colleagues to take note of an October 2006 CBS/New York Times poll that found that only 16% of Americans thought the government told the truth about 9/11 and the intelligence prior to the attacks. No less than six of the ten 9/11 Commissioners are on record as saying the official story is a fraud and yet Graham classes skepticism towards the official story as one of his “fringe beliefs”.
Another “fringe belief” thrown in amongst stupid speculation about Sarah Palin’s baby is the notion that Goldman Sachs was involved in and benefited from the financial collapse. “While Goldman may have profited, that alone doesn’t prove malice or conspiracy,” scoffs Graham.
Oh really? This office tea boy obviously didn’t take the time to read a multi-part eXposé written by Greg Gordon of McClatchy Newspapers, in which it was voluminously documented how Goldman Sachs, “In 2006 and 2007…peddled more than $40 billion in securities backed by at least 200,000 risky home mortgages, but never told the buyers it was secretly betting that a sharp drop in U.S. housing prices would send the value of those securities plummeting.”
“Goldman’s sales and its clandestine wagers, completed at the brink of the housing market meltdown, enabled the nation’s premier investment bank to pass most of its potential losses to others before a flood of mortgage defaults staggered the U.S. and global economies. Only later did investors discover that what Goldman had promoted as triple-A rated investments were closer to junk,” writes Gordon.
No “malice” or “conspiracy” there, Mr Graham? Goldman Sachs betting on a housing collapse right before it happened while telling their buyers everything was hunky dory? No “malice” involved in that one, eh?
Graham’s shoddily bias and vacuous perspective is laid bare when he tries to gloss over the collapsing anthropogenic global warming fraud within the confines of a one sentence tantrum. “Deniers have long taken advantage of scientists’ cautious statements, and “Climategate” breathed new life into the movement, but the science stands: warming is real, and it’s caused by human actions,” he sneers.
In reality, former lead authors of the UN IPCC are now coming forward to state that the “world may not be warming” and the scientist at the center of the Climategate scandal admits there has been no global warming since 1995, as endless scandal after scandal offers mountains of evidence that the progenitors of AGW have been exaggerating and lying about man’s contribution to climate change for decades.
But perhaps Graham’s most egregious falsehood arrives when he dismisses the United Nations’ desire to regulate CO2 emissions as part of a global government power grab as another baseless yarn. A similar faux pas was committed by Time Magazine’s Jonathan Kay, an article Graham links to, in a similarly weak hit piece written earlier this month.
According to Kay, a one world government run by the United Nations that will implement greenhouse gas taxes is another “toxic fantasy” of those crazy Tea Party lunatics, a view shared by Graham. In that case, I guess we must have all just imagined UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s December 16 2009 Los Angeles Times interview during the Copenhagen summit in which he stated, “We will establish a global governance structure to monitor and manage the implementation of this.”
Ban Ki-moon’s October 2009 New York Times editorial in which he wrote that efforts to impose restrictions on CO2 emissions, “Must include an equitable global governance structure” is also a figment of the imagination if you subscribe to Kay and Graham’s world view.
Yes – shocking as it is – top globalists like Herman Van Rompuy, Gordon Brown, Al Gore and others have all publicly and repeatedly called for a new world order and a global government. This is why even Bloomberg writers like David Reilly and former Democratic advisors like Dick Morris are finally admitting that the “conspiracy theorists” were right after all – a secret cabal of bankers and industrialists really does run the world.
Of course, if you still believe Graham and Kay’s fairytale make-believe world in which there is no “new world order” and no march towards a “global government” which would include a “global currency”, then the following You Tube compilation of top power brokers saying those very things since the 1950’s doesn’t exist either…
By number eight, Graham has ceased even bothering to form a glib sentence to “debunk” the topic at hand, and responds to the “conspiracy theory” about government internment camps with just four words, “Too silly to discuss.”
Just as well that Market Watch didn’t deem a $385 million contract awarded to KBR by the Department of Homeland Security in January 2006 “too silly to discuss”. The contract was for KBR, the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton, to build detention facilities inside America that would allow authorities to deal with “an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs.”
Project Censored, who also didn’t regard the announcement as “too silly to discuss,” placed the story at number 14 for 2006’s most censored stories. It was explored in depth by numerous prominent and respected writers, including Peter Dale Scott, who highlighted how such “new programs” were a continuation of martial law provisions that first came to light during the Iran Contra scandal in the 1980’s. Scott also made the connection to former Attorney General John Ashcroft’s 2002 call for U.S. citizens to be detained as enemy combatants in detention camps, a story also considered not “too silly to discuss” by the Los Angeles Times’ Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at the George Washington University Law School.
Graham returns to back-slapping his peers at Time Magazine with the claim that Time did not advocate licenses to use the Internet, linking to a two paragraph blog written by Time’s Michael Scherer entitled Despite Reports, TIME Still Not Advocating Internet Driver’s Licenses.
“Time published a story reporting on a Microsoft executive who’d like to see licensing to combat anonymity. Broadcasting such a controversial proposal—regardless of its merits—is quite the opposite of censorship, as Time’s Michael Scherer rightly explained,” Graham smugly proclaims. “The story is not true, of course, but who wants to get in the way of such fun conspiracies?,” smarts Scherer.
Both Scherer and Graham are obviously banking on their audience not actually reading the original Time article to which they refer, in which author Barbara Kiviat clearly does advocate and endorse a licensing system for Internet users.
Kiviat waxes lyrical about how society introduces more laws and regulations as it grows. “There is no reason to think the Internet shouldn’t follow the same pattern,” she writes. “But we’re entitled to anonymity on the Internet!” Really? Are you? Why do you think that?” she asks elsewhere, clearly endorsing stricter controls similar to those first proposed at the Davos Economic Forum earlier this year.
Anyone who reads Kiviat’s article in full comes away with the impression that she, and her publisher Time Magazine, endorse the call for Internet licensing. Scherer did not “rightly explain” anything! He lied through his teeth.
How much more ludicrous can this get? Is Newsweek going to start lecturing us about the “fringe belief” that the sun comes up every morning. That’s not too far removed from Graham’s overriding theme that powerful men never conspire to do bad things to increase their power and that governments are angelic and anyone who says otherwise is expressing a “fringe belief”.
As the excellent George Washington’s Blog explains, the corporate media’s denunciation of “conspiracy theories” is a process in diffusing criticism of the powerful in government or business…
“The government spied on American citizens (even before 9/11 … confirmed here and here), while saying “we don’t spy”. The government tortured prisoners in Iraq, but said “we don’t torture”.
“In other words, high-level government officials have conspired to cover up the truth. The bottom line is that the power of the state is used to crush criticism of major government policies and actions (or failures to act) and high-level government officials.
“Pay attention, and you’ll notice that criticism of “conspiracy theories” is usually aimed at attempting to protect the state and key government players. The power of the state is seldom used to crush conspiracy theories regarding people who are not powerful . . . at least to the extent that they are not important to the government.”
Indeed, if “conspiracy theories” are merely “hip” and “trendy” examples of mindless gossip, as Graham’s article portrays, then why does White House regulation czar Cass Sunstein want to slap a tax on them or even ban them outright?
We are of course familiar with their tired old clichés and smear tactics, but what the mainstream still fails to grasp is the fact that the majority of Americans no longer trust them, so the sophomoric catch phrases just aren’t going to get the job done anymore.
A September 2009 Pew Research Center poll found that, “Trust in news media has reached a new low, with record numbers of Americans saying reporting is inaccurate, biased and shaped by special interests.” The poll found that just 29% of Americans still trusted the corporate media.
By labeling manifestly provable facts, such as the absolutely self-evident and admitted push for a system of global governance as “conspiracy theories” and claiming they are false, the corporate media is only committing seppuku and dispensing with any credibility they had left.
In that case, we invite Mr. Graham, Mr. Kay, Time and Newsweek to continue to lecture us about how overwhelmingly documented facts are baseless “conspiracy theories,” because in doing so they are only making themselves and the corporate media look utterly stupid. Enough said.

As the debate over health care reform rages on, President Obama has taken a major step in bringing Republicans and Democrats together in an attempt to actually accomplish some manor of reform with his proposed Health Care Summit. He has called for a Republicans to join him at a televised meeting on February 25 in order to have a serious discussion on what we can do to move forward in this process. Seems like a rational idea, right? Bring both sides together in the open to talk about their differences and let the American people watch. Sounds like open, transparent government to me.
So what’s the Republican response to this proposed meeting? “It’s a trap.” No, I’m not making that up. Republicans have actually come out saying that they don’t trust the President’s intentions and have likened attending this Summit to walking into a trap. One question, Republicans: Are you f*cking serious? Do you have no shame? Is there no depth to which you will sink to accomplish your one goal of hamstringing the Democrats and making it impossible for them to accomplish ANYTHING?
The Republicans are without doubt the most obstructionist group of politicians that I have ever seen or studied. I can’t remember a group of people more hell-bent on making their political opponents so ineffective in order to boost their own image. Seriously, Republicans never give Obama a shred of credit on anything, and they’ve filibustered more than 200 times in the past three years. They’re the reason your government isn’t working right now, ladies and gentlemen. It’s hard to accomplish anything when one side is trying to be proactive while the other side sits in the corner and pouts and sulks and just says n0 to everything.
Yes, Republicans are acting like 3 year olds. They’re not going to apologize for it, either. In fact, they’re going to keep it up, because here’s the not-so-secret Republican strategy for winning mid-term elections: “If we stall and drag our feet and filibuster, it will ensure that the Democrats accomplish nothing. We can then say to the American people, ‘they haven’t accomplished anything, isn’t it time you elected us back into power?’” It’s really quite brilliant when you think about it. Dirty, but brilliant. Cheap, but brilliant. Undermines the political process, but brilliant.
Want to know the real reason why the Republicans are trying to avoid showing up at President Obama’s Health Care Summit? Simple: if they do go, they’ll expose themselves to the American public as the frauds that they are. They can’t counter President Obama’s health care reform ideas with ideas of their own, because Republican ideas on health care reform don’t exist. Republicans have no incentive to institute health care reform for a number of reasons. The health care industry is in bed with them in a big way. They can’t actually support any Democrat’s idea on anything, lest they be branded “Socialists.” Their misplaced allegiance to the free market dictates that they oppose any new government spending–unless it’s starting two wars, of course. And lastly, they just don’t care that 30-40 million of their countrymen are uninsured, and countless more are under-insured. It just isn’t very high on their list of priorities.
So, there you have it. I’ve hashed out the reasons why, in all likelihood, substantial health care reform is dead in this country. One cruel, obstructionist political party being funded by the greedy health care industry has done a masterful job of framing this issue as some kind of American vs. Un-American issue. I hope you are proud of yourselves, Republicans, you’ve basically just handed death sentences to tens of millions of Americans.

The Obama administration has announced it will now rule by fascist decree and ignore Congress and the American people.
“With much of his legislative agenda stalled in Congress, President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities,” reports The New York Times. “We are reviewing a list of presidential executive orders and directives to get the job done across a front of issues,” said Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff who is fond of cracking his knuckles in Obama’s face.
According to The New York Times, ruling in authoritarian fashion is normal and acceptable. “Any president has vast authority to influence policy even without legislation, through executive orders, agency rule-making and administrative fiat.”
In fact, Obama’s plan to rule by authoritarian decree is unconstitutional. Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution states: “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” Article II, Section 3 states that the president may call Congress into emergency session during a national crisis.
In other words, rule buy fiat is treason. Another section of the Constitution covers treason. Article II, Section 4 states: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Radio talk show host Michael Savage comments on Obama’s plan to rule by executive order…
Rahm Emanuel should be arrested and prosecuted for treason under federal statute, specifically Title 18 U.S.C. § 2. It states: “Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.”
Treason is spelled out in Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution. “The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason,” it states.
“White House officials said the increased focus on executive authority reflected a natural evolution from the first year to the second year of any presidency,” The New York Times continues.
Hitler exploited this “natural evolution” to turn Germany into a fascist dictatorship through executive orders. In fact, Reagan, Clinton and Bush the Lesser issued a flurry of executive orders that surpassed anything Hitler or Stalin issued.
Executive orders have been around since the beginning of the republic. George Washington issued a number of proclamations, dispositions and recommendations. For instance, a suggestion that a day of Thanksgiving take place on Thursday, November26, 1789. He was severely criticized for issuing a proclamation suggesting U.S. citizens joining or aiding the war between Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Britain and the Netherlands be prosecuted. George Washington’s proclamations, however, did not over rule legislation passed by Congress.
Executive orders did not really pick up steam until the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. During the invasion of the South for opposing the federal government, Lincoln issued a large number of executive orders allowing the federal military to steal land and turn prisoners of war into forced labor slaves.
The grand daddy of executive orders was Franklin Roosevelt. He issued 3,723 of them. Here is a sample. Roosevelt’s most notorious executive order was 6102. It permitted the federal government to steal all privately held gold in the United States.
Ronald Reagan — sold to the people as a “conservative” — issued 381 executive orders, more than George W. Bush. Clinton came close to Reagan. He issued 364. Reagan violated the Constitution directly when he issued Executive Order 12611 ordering “Assistance for Central American Democracies and the Nicaraguan Democratic Resistance,” in other words providing assistance to the Contras, a violation of the Boland Amendment.
Clinton used executive orders to defy Congress and conduct a murder campaign against the people of Yugoslavia. Clinton also violated Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution when he bombed the European country. Article 1, Section 8 states that “Congress shall have power to… declare War,” not the president.
During the election, Obama not only said he would not issue executive orders but he would reverse those issued during the Bush era. On his very first day in office, Obama broke this pledge and implemented and signed into law Executive Order 13489 barring the release of presidential records (presumably including his birth certificate).
Obama also signed executive orders allowing Interpol to operate beyond the law in the United States and establishing the Council of Governors.
Obama will continue the process of rule by decree established by his predecessors. He will rule in the tradition of the Roman Second Triumvirate and the Lex Titia decree under Gaius Octavian, general Mark Antony and pontifex maximus Aemilius Lepidus.
It should be noted that the resolution paved the way for the Final War of the Roman Republic and the total collapse of republican government.
Executive orders in place surpassing Hitler and Stalin…
The Tonka Report Editor’s Note: And once again, I quote Cicero… “A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Orator 106-43 B.C.
No surprise here. Just weeks after the Supreme Court trashed the unconstitutional McCain/Feingold monstrosity, the Democrats are back weaseling ways to protect their Liberal monopoly on corporate and union donations, trying to keep companies like Exxon and Shell from having the same ‘voice’ at the table. Unions gave over 400 Million to the Obama Presidential campaign, which is still awaiting financial audit:
Senior Democratic lawmakers proposed legislation yesterday that would force some of the most powerful political organizations in the US – including the US Chamber of Commerce on the right and MoveOn.org on the left – to reveal the names of the corporations and individuals who fund their advertising campaigns.
The proposal would also force US corporations to notify shareholders immediately of “all political expenditures” and bar companies that have “foreign ownership” of more than 20 per cent from spending money on US elections.
The bill, which will be formally introduced at the end of the month, was written with the support of the Obama administration by Senator Chuck Schumer of New York and Congressman Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. It represents a remarkable attempt by Congress, controlled by the Democratic party, to neuter a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling last month.

I haven’t updated in a couple of days and you guys are about to get a lot of interesting info thrown at you. (Don’t worry, I won’t throw too hard.) There has been many an adventure and a HUGE disaster that almost dissolved me into tears today. So here it goes – the recap of the last couple days…
Thursday (2-11-10)
Was a laid back, one class, ordinary day. It would have been a very ordinary day if me and my bf (mostly my initiative on this one) didn’t decide to change things up a bit and pay a visit to a local Asian market. I don’t know about you guys, but random, weird foods from other places (Asia) intrigue me and cause me to run from isle to isle like an overexcited hamster in his wheel, or a cat in a roomful of catnip. (Catnip is like crack for cats by the way.) So here I am, darting into all the sections of this Asian market, looking at every colorful, strange thing they have to offer and make the bold decision to actually try some of the stuff – hey, it can’t hurt to try, right? So after drooling over pink, green, purple and yellow jelly cube-shaped candy, lychee pudding and mooncakes, I wandered over into the seafood section and scoured the shelves for some new fish things to try. And low and behold, I found these!——>
Cooked fish balls! (balls made of fish - sickos! )
I made two sandwiches with these so far and I’ve quickly become a fan of these things. They’re fishy, light and an excellent substitute for when you run out of faux crab (as I have.) Though they could have given them a tad more flavor. So you really have to cook these in some kind of sauce or add condiments to spice it up a bit. All in all, I rate these an 8/10.
After grabbing this fishy snack, I went upstairs into the canned food/dry food/condiment room. Here I saw many things I wanted to try but seeing as I didn’t have hundreds of dollars to spend on curious looking canned and dry goods, I settled for this little guy I noticed tucked into the corner of one of the shelves—->
Sesame paste! Peanut Butter replacement for me.
I tried this later on at home with some tapioca pudding, berries, granola and banana slices and it was heavenly! The sesame paste on its own isn’t sweet at all – not bad but not something you could eat with a spoon. You’d have to mix this with sweet fruit, sugar or puddings. It does satisfy that PB craving I get once in a while (haven’t worked up to being able to eat actual PB yet though) and this is a good substitute for me. I’ll definitely keep buying this guy from now on. 9/10 for Sesame Paste!
Along with fish balls and sesame paste, I also picked up another tube of wasabi, a box of sesame seeds (which I’m now obsessed with and put on everything) and some honey for my bf. (this is a bee btw lol) It was a successful trip and I can’t wait to keep on trying things from that store! For all you Sunset District peeps – it’s at Noriega over by Safeway. Oh and P.S: It’s SUPER cheap! Like ridiculously cheap.
Thursday ended with some Camdens (7th Heaven – obsessed much? hehe) and some brain-twisting frustration over Chem homework for which we haven’t covered the material yet and was due on Friday (today). I ended up leaving it blank and going to bed. Then morning came…
Friday (today)
TGIF is all I have to say. Well, not all – you’re not getting off that easy! It all started with a breakfast that makes all other breakfasts look in comparison! Take a look at this baby—–>
Oat Bran hot cereal, 1/2 banana, chocolate fudge pudding cup, teaspoon Sesame Paste and sesame seeds topping it all off! Mmmmmm!
It was truly a party in my stomach and my taste buds were tripping off of this too! I highly recommend! 10/10. My boyfriend saw this pic and thought it was a piece of sesame beef! Haha…I was pretty mad at that one. This plate deserves to be placed on a pedestal.
So after I savored that chocolatey, nutty, banana-ee bit, I rushed off to class. My chem teacher didn’t make us turn in that HW that no one understood how to do (thank God!) and so my grade was spared a lethal blow. Phew! After all my classes, it was Borders and magazine reading time! I gathered up some US Weekly, People and OKs and found (miraculously) an unoccupied chair to sink into and get some reading (looking at the pictures) in before work. Here are a few highlights—–>
Kate Gosselin - from burnt out peacock to 16 going on 50! I'd also call that last hairdo "Wannabe Lindsey Lohan on Oxycontin!)
What I don’t get is how these people butt their way into Hollywood. Or has Hollywood lowered their standards by THAT much and is letting everyone and their 25 babies through? It’s soon going to stop being Hollywood and turn into one giant kindergarten run by a bunch of baby-crazed confused-looking moms with bad hair. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Then I stumbled upon this article that irked me a little—–>
Michelle Obama says: "My daughters were once in danger of being overweight..."
I was slightly angered at this when I saw it. Even slightly more than just slightly angered. Thoughts on this?
And then there was a poodle—–>
Japanese dog show. They would do this...hehe So funny!
This is one poodle you shouldn’t mess with! (Shouldn’t mess with her owner either – you might end up with hair like that too. And then even Kate Gosselin would have the right to laugh at you.) On second thought – this is about equal to Gosselin’s pile of god-knows-what on her head. Though I must add – the poodle is much cuter!
After I leafed through all three mags, I grabbed an Ice Coffee (gotta keep true to the blog name) and flipped through a wildlife book in which I found Bambi’s cousin many times removed—->
Ancient Bambi on the prowl! Check out those fangs!
And then I found this guy who reminds me of a little crooked camel, sheep, cow thing——>
Camel sheep cow!
Awwwwwwwwwwww….
Then it was time for work – which went well and then the horriblest thing happened that can only happen in this crazy 21st century of ours! Someone stole my iPhone! At Sephora! I was shocked, lost and hyperventilating when I discovered my loyal and trusted friend was gone. I darted from corner to corner in a daze and shuffled through my bag again and again only to find nothing has changed and my phone was still gonneeeeee.
After I accepted the idea that life was out to get me, me and my bf went over to Kiki’s again for some sushi therapy. This time I got the Rainbow Roll (California roll topped with raw salmon, tuna, shrimp, avocado, mackerel and eel. Also two tamago nigiri.)——>
Yummm!
Pardon the blueness of this pic.
Then it was off to our homely abode for some peppamint tea and some movie watching (as soon as I hit submit on this) + ice cream and fruit for desert that’ll bring this bittersweet Friday to a close. I’ll finish this off with a few questions for you guys:
1) What’s your take on the Michelle Obama issue I brought up above? Makes me angry and makes me think of myself in those girls’ place. If my mom said something like that (to the media) I have no clue what I’d do. Actually, I do have a clue and it’s not good.
2) Whats your favorite type of sushi? I love Dragon Rolls and Tamago!! MmmMmm…
3) Any exciting weekend plans? Saturday – working all day (woohoo!) and Sunday – spending the day with my sweetie – yay for Valentine’s Day!
Hope you all had as eventful a day as I did! Until next time.
Xox..
P.S: Whoever stole my phone has my eternal wrath upon them! And is going dowwwwwn.
Record snowfall buries the mid Atlantic region, and virtually every employee on Fox News screams, “Where is Al Gore?”
Let me get this straight. The same folks who, just days earlier denied the reality of Climate Change, have become instant converts. Because they’ve now experienced the devastating effects of what we’ve done to the planet firsthand.
What, all conservatives thought the images of polar icecaps disintegrating were photoshopped? Rising sea levels couldn’t possibly affect the U.S. because God protects His own? Soaring temps on the western fronts of the continents proved nothing? The altered path of the gulf stream was some sort of anomaly?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m hugely relieved they’re finally on board. Guess there’s nothing like gallows humor in the face of impending doom to release all that guilt. Thankfully, these people who put corporate interests ahead of the startling truth that man was directly – solely – responsible for planetary changes that once took centuries to now take but a few years; have seen the light.
Well, that’s the good news. The bad news? It might be too late.
If Obama is a Christian then Martin Luther King is a Muslim…and Rev. Wright is really Malcolm X….
I really know no other way to deal with common propaganda other than to submit the long articles of our founders declarations to the contrary. I’m against alien forces of religion whether secular or otherwise who have infiltrated our gov’t and institutions intent on destroying us and our form of gov’t from within. I do believe we are on the road to one world ruling class elitism better known as tyranny, and I’ve tried my best to demonstrate the deceptive intricacy of their subterfuge. The new age Spartans or the new global Babylon?
Morality or moral codes differ in secularism and other religions around the world. Just because a person says they believe in a God it does not mean it is the same God or set of ethics they are admitting to. So, you can see the fine edge that our Founders were balancing on in their efforts to establish, and protect our new unique form of Republican gov’t from the subversive and the undermining efforts of other existing secular/religious entities that mankind has fought over and been oppressed by since the beginning of civilization.
Over the past several years, President Barack Obama has repeatedly claimed that America is not a Christian nation. He asserted that while a U. S. Senator, 1 repeated it as a presidential candidate, 2 and on a recent presidential trip to Turkey announced to the world that Americans “do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.” 3 (He made that announcement in Turkey because he said it was “a location he said he chose to send a clear message.” 4 ) Then preceding a subsequent trip to Egypt, he declared that America was “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world” 5 (even though the federal government’s own statistics show that less than one-percent of Americans are Muslims. 6.
Last May, President Obama refused to invite Christian and Jewish leaders to the White House to participate in the National Day of Prayer (as former presidents have done). He did invite Muslim leaders to the White House for a special Muslim Ramadan celebration to commemorate Allah delivering the Koran to his prophet Mohammed. Islam will shine through America’s capitol, and proudly and unabashedly they declare, “Our Time Has Come!”
Barack (Barry) Obama (Soetoro) is not a private citizen and he is a representative of his Muslim religion to which he does in fact have certain obligations. Furthermore, it is customary for a convert to Islam to change their name to reflect their conversion to the faith. However, I do not in any way believe it to be prejudiced or discriminatory to protect our form of Republican gov’t, our way of life, or our national identity from alien subversives or your enemies. With the spider being in our high office he can hide his Islamic agenda behind the progressive secular agenda currently at work within our Republican gov’t and our institutions, and therefore affect policies towards our allies in Israel and England,etc. Obama can also affect changes in immigration, schooling, and so many other areas to allow further and easier access to our country and our institutions by our avowed enemies. This is nothing to joke about. It is all or nothing, and it is happening whether the American people recognize it or not. It does not matter to our enemies if they subvert us from within…to them it’s all the same…..
Christianity . . . introduce[ed] a better and more enlightened sense of right and justice. . . . It taught the duty of benevolence to strangers. 23 JAMES KENT, “FATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCE”.
The Christian philosophy, in its tenderness for human infirmities, strongly inculcates principles of . . . benevolence. 24 RICHARD HENRY LEE, SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION, FRAMER OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
Significantly, nations that are primarily secular in their orientation (or those predominated by non-Judeo-Christian religions such as Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Shinto, Confucianism, Jainism, Taoism, Sikhism, Bahá’í, Diasporic, Juche, etc.) rarely become involved in benevolent endeavors, and certainly are not aggressive in organizing humanitarian relief. In fact, when the massive tsunami devastated Muslim Indonesia in 2004, other Muslim nations did little to assist a nation of their own faith, yet America – even though considered by Indonesia’s (where Obama attended a School of Islam) dominant religion to be the “Great Satan” – was quickly on the scene, providing assistance in money, supplies, labor, and technology.
The benevolence that characterizes America – the compassion and humanitarianism that we have inculcated into our culture – is the unique product of the Bible; and non- and even anti-religious Americans have been trained in Biblical benevolence as characteristic of our culture (even if they do not recognize the source of that principle!).
As Noah Webster explained:
The ecclesiastical establishments of Europe which serve to support tyrannical governments are not the Christian religion but abuses and corruptions of it. 23
Daniel Webster similarly explained that American Christianity was:
Christianity to which the sword and the fagot [burning stake or hot branding iron] are unknown – general tolerant Christianity is the law of the land! 24
Adams declared:
The policy of Christendom has made cowards of all their sailors before the standard of Mahomet. It would be heroical and glorious in us to restore courage to ours. 25
Furthermore, it was Adams who declared:
The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were. . . . the general principles of Christianity. . . .
“Father of American Jurisprudence.” Justice Story openly declared:
One of the beautiful boasts of our municipal jurisprudence is that Christianity is a part of the Common Law. . . . There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying at its foundations. . . . I verily believe Christianity necessary to the support of civil society. 3
His conclusion about America and Christianity was straightforward:
In [our] republic, there would seem to be a peculiar propriety in viewing the Christian religion as the great basis on which it must rest for its support and permanence. 33
Justice John McLean (1785-1861) was appointed to the Court by President Andrew Jackson. McLean served in the U. S. Congress, as a judge on the Ohio Supreme Court, and then held cabinet positions under two U. S. Presidents. His view on the importance of Christianity to American government and its institutions was unambiguous:
For many years, my hope for the perpetuity of our institutions has rested upon Bible morality and the general dissemination of Christian principles. This is an element which did not exist in the ancient republics. It is a basis on which free governments may be maintained through all time. . . . Free government is not a self-moving machine. . . . Our mission of freedom is not carried out by brute force, by canon law, or any other law except the moral law and those Christian principles which are found in the Scriptures. 34
They can run but they can’t hide!!!!
I doubt our subversive comrades could ever live up to their pretentious belief in our God or to the founding principles within our constitution….
Well, Mr. Spider, take your alien religious, secular/liberal subversiveness and try your rhetoric in Russia, China or your home country of Kenya. See if they will give up their form of gov’t, national identity, and their form of religion to a foreign usurper. I think you know where you will end up….
There are different factions fighting for dominance within Islam. However, these warring factions will unite against the infidel in a heart beat. The religion of Islam governed by the Quran, Hadith, and the five pillars of Islam dictate Muslim unity and jihad against the infidel which as a Muslim you are to lie or do whatever it takes to subvert, convert, or eventually kill the infidel. Your reward is seven under aged virgins and a seat close to Allah….
In the past I took the time to read the Quran, the Hadith, and I spoke with several members belonging to different Islamic factions. I found that they share the same common denominator when it comes to the infidel and members who turn their backs on Islamic faith. They are dead serious about these two issues. Much more serious than the secular/liberally indoctrinated, and fallen Christians that exist in our country today; this is very sad….
Our Founders state clearly in documents I’ve submitted here that our form of Republican gov’t is based on a Judeo-Christian code of morality, and was not intended to be subverted or undermined or all would be lost to the corrupt, subversive and oppressive alien institutions that exist in other countries. This is why our Founders required a person(s) to announce a belief in (our) God when taking the oath of office for all positions within our Republican gov’t, and to possess Godly Christian principles to guide their character (knowledge) in their governing and law making.
A few of the alien and progressively radical, secular/liberal, US supreme court judges have been trying to do away with this rite of passage to public office which would allow subversive elements easier access to the auspices of our gov’t and our institutions. This should scare the crap out of all true Americans! Really!
Furthermore, A person or an entity is not subversive unless they attempt to subvert something or someone. Our Founders did not intend that freedom of religion be used by people of other religion whether secular or otherwise to subvert our form Republican gov’t, our religion, and our culture. People of alien religions were free to practice their faith as long as they did not impose it on us in an attempt to subvert our own and compromise civic order and rest, and much more. This is only common sense.
Our gov’t is not, and has not favored one denomination over another as was the Founders real intent in freedom of religion, and the majority of Americans support this form of gov’t because of the values and principles they want their children to inherit to guide their behavior and conscience. The Founders never intended to set up a form of gov’t that would allow foreign powers, foreign religions, or secular subverters into the auspices of our gov’t! For anyone to think otherwise must live in a very disturbed world of their own imaginings. It Takes a lot of faith to believe in your secular religion with its self destructive situational ethics or principles. I’m sure your monkey gods have a wonderful plan of salvation for you….
Situational (saturational) ethics are principles developed by the alien secularist/religious progressives to redefine right, wrong, good and evil from one moment to the next. The end justifies the means. If it feels good -do it. It’s ok to kill as long as there are no consequences, after all, there is no God. I am the only true Authority….
I believe, this is why the secularists tend to be gay and baby killers because they can not cope, and lack the mechanisms for coping, with normal relationships under the current system of saturational ethics being promoted by our corrupting secular corporations, our liberal big gov’t, its alien secular/religious subversives within our institutions….
The progressive freedom is alien secular/religious decadence, and perversion based in the progressively radical minorities saturational ethics that allows them to make up rules as they go along and then enforce them on everyone else through subterfuge.
The Founders made it clear that no denomination was to dominate the offices of gov’t, and this is the wall intended by our founders to avoid secular/religious theocracy or tyranny. The Founders also made it clear that within the universal moral codes contained within the Judeo-Christian texts is that which our Republican gov’t and laws are founded on. The wall between Church and State is to prevent secular and other alien religious entities from high-jacking our form of gov’t and our national identity.
Unfortunately, subversive elements have infiltrated our gov’t and are going all out to subvert our country. This is why we are having these conversations over the terrible state of affairs we are all now contending with in our country.
In case no one has noticed the crusades never ended this is why the world is still at war. Only most people here in the US don’t know it yet. A lot people in the US have been mentally and spiritually put to sleep by our secular/liberal machine that is indoctrinating us, robbing us and enslaving us. The sleeping giant is waking up! Subversives beware!
The alien subversive miscreants in our gov’t have become nothing more than petty drug dealers who are giving out free stuff to everyone at our expense to get ya hooked and dependent on them before they rob ya, enslave ya, and kill ya!
America was conquered and founded by many people from different cultures who united together to form one national identity or one national culture with many personal differences as defined by our Founders and their founding documents being composed to make us unique as Americans. However we do not constitute a dictatorship through the very unique foundation of our government and system of law making which transcends all other worldly known systems of gov’t in the opinion of our Founders and in the opinion of the majority of true Americans.
All existing countries were conquered at one time or another, yet it does not mean that anyone of them will give up what has been established without a fight. Only in America where progressive radical fringe elements have infiltrate our governmental institutions, and thereby convince many of our mindless indoctrinated citizens, through subterfuge, to give up their wealth, form of gov’t, religion and national identity.
Different cultures combined in their differences to make up one culture of people, one nation, and one national identity.
We can not all have our own gov’t with our own set of principles with which to govern everyone else. That would be insane! I believe this is what our country is going through…mass insanity! Too many cooks in the being allowed in the kitchen who want to run things their own way! How can any business or gov’t stay in business this way?
The Founders have taken and established the values and principles from Judeo-Christianity as a standard with which to govern and make our laws. What is so hard to understand about that? Why would our Founders sabotage our form of Gov’t or our national identity by leaving it open to subversion by anyone? This is the heart of moral decay in our country….
I find that many of the men and women in this country oppose the very concept, discussion, and practice of secularism, foreign religions, abortion, and homosexuality within our secular corporate-big liberal gov’t, our progressively secular/liberal courts, our alien secular/religious schoolrooms. The American people find such subterfuge to be forced indoctrination, repulsive and evil….
Furthermore, we are talking about good, evil, right and wrong conduct and behavior as defined by a Judeo-Christian moral code established and defined by our Founders (not the one or two contradictory oddballs whom the subversive elements within our gov’t, institutions, and society like to quote from as being superior to the majority) whose intent, and actions allowed them to deeply embed and implement this natural or Godly higher moral code in governing our laws, and our society; not a theocracy, secular or religious….
The silent majority are not the screaming minority who are out attacking people of all faiths in their Churches or in our streets because the majority voted against the acceptance of perversion and subversion in our states and national voting.
I find the tea party to be just the tip of the iceberg in American dissent where people from all walks of life and faith are finally coming out in unity and large numbers to protest against the robbing and the subversion of our country by the progressive, radical, liberal fringe elements within our secular/fascist, corporate/gov’t élite. This monstrosity uses homosexuality, baby killers, and alien secular-religions who propose freedom from our religion and gov’t instead of the freedom to practice, and keep our own form of religion and gov’t as intended by our Founders. Their subterfuge is meant to create a crack in the foundation of our country to further legitimize their socialist/fascist monkey-god religious agenda with the help of their small army of secularly liberal indoctrinated parrots.
A good example of the hit and run tactics of the secular/ liberal parrots exists in their lack of comprehension demonstrated by their feeble attacks against our religion, our country and our Founders, and by their inability or refusal to understand the true meaning and definitions of common English words. True Republican Principles= Republic= Republicanism as was created and intended by the our Founders. Republican principles were derived from the Judeo-Christian texts as the standard our Founders used to judge inappropriate, deviant, and subversive behavior harmful to the good of our people, our civil society, our national identity, and the unity of our nation as was clearly stated by all the Founders often throughout the majority of their orations, practices, and law making….
America’s Framers wisely recognized and heartily endorsed the influence of those teachings on the civil arena – especially on the formation of America’s unique republican (i.e., elective ) form of government:
The Bible. . . . [i]s the most republican book in the world. 13 JOHN ADAMS, SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION, FRAMER OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS, U. S. PRESIDENT.
I have always considered Christianity as the strong ground of republicanism. . . . It is only necessary for republicanism to ally itself to the Christian religion to overturn all the corrupted political . . . institutions in the world. 14 BENJAMIN RUSH, SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION, RATIFIER OF THE U. S. CONSTITUTION.
[T]he genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion. . . . and to this we owe our free constitutions of government. 15 NOAH WEBSTER, REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER, LEGISLATOR, JUDGE.
They . . . who are decrying the Christian religion . . . are undermining . . . the best security for the duration of free governments. 16 CHARLES CARROLL, SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION, FRAMER OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
[T]o the free and universal reading of the Bible . . . men were much indebted for right views of civil liberty. 17 DANIEL WEBSTER, “DEFENDER OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Scores of other Framers, statesmen, and courts made similarly succinct declarations about how the Judeo-Christian Scriptures not only shaped republicanism 18 but also many other unique aspects of our civil culture.
So, let’s get real, we can not all have our own gov’t with our own faith and set of principles for governing and law making. Secularism is not a neutral religion not with its own faith in its own set of saturational ethics that are antithesis to many others including our own. This was understood by the majority of Americans in this country at one time whether they were new citizens who met downtown or stayed at home. This being until recent times with the advent of the progressive secular/liberal subversives infiltrating our gov’t and our institutions along with other radical adverse alien religious elements. These alien entities are hell-bent on indoctrinating and confusing the American people to over-throw our national identity and our form of Republican gov’t. This being accomplished through their subterfuge created to justify the conducting of a mass domestic foreign invasion of our country, and through unconstitutional trade treaties and policies meant to concentrate our wealth and power into the hands of the few élite monkey gods and their false prophets….
The revisionist garbage the fascist, corporate-liberal big gov’t, corporate liberal media, and our progressively secular teachers want the American people to learn, think, hear and see is rooted in subterfuge; fear tactics and fantasy that should never be allowed to become reality here in the USA. This is demonstrated by their deeply progressive and indoctrinated parroting in their continued efforts to enforce their detrimental progressive agenda upon humanity. Their ilk are truly the ones society has to fear because if such a cause were to prevail upon humanity the enforced decadence and murder imposed on us by the élite monkey gods would have no bounds….
What I have presented to the people is the exact antithesis, grounded in humanitarian principles, of what the progressively radical, secular/liberal, fringe element portent for us all….
I have found that secular liberalism with its bogus saturational ethics only leads all people to their eventual ruin through dependency on our morally and financially bankrupt corporate/gov’t, its social programs, and on their legal or illegal drugs. The corrupting progressive secular/liberal fringe elements within our gov’t and our institutions created the subterfuge bent on our destruction, and use this subterfuge just like many other past dictatorships have to control their people. If our economy gets worse or collapses our streets will be full of mindless morons running wild, and nothing or no one is safe….
Adams gave many sermons himself, and he was a biblical scholar as was Ben Franklin who told Thomas Paine he was spitting in the wind with his secular non-sense….
The rules, and principles that socialist/fascist subversives are trying to get us to parrot and promote among ourselves through their progressive subterfuge is alien secular/religious, Marxist/Fascist non-sense and psychobabble. Exercises in redundant mental masturbation.
If you studied history correctly you will find that it was decadence, immorality, perversion, murder, and subversives from within that destroyed many if not all of the kingdoms and empires of old, and it looks like it will be our undoing as well. This is why our Founders chose the moral codes from the Judeo-Christian texts with which to govern our society and to base our laws upon. The Founders knew that the Judeo-Christian moral code unified our people under a common cause. It also provided a foundation in which gov’t and society can strive together towards moral and spiritual progress for the good of our nation and of humanity without regressing to secular or religious theocratic tyranny, and that would end in self-destruction!
However, modern abortion and infanticide medications are being forced upon the public, and into places of employment regardless of a persons faith whether it is religious or secular in nature. This constitutes a whole different ball game.
Furthermore, the majority of the people in our country do not condone our gov’t enforcement and promotion of the killing of our unborn children while in the womb; thus turning our young girls and women into baby killers. The American people do not condone the teaching of sexual perversion or immorality is a natural or inalienable right, or a mistake that our God made in special cases. Though such subversive and immoral propositions should not exist in the first place our gov’t should at least put it to the vote and let the people decide such matters, though woman are of larger numbers, and the true giver of life might prevail upon us. Majority Rule! Or we the people can charge the subversive miscreants responsible for such treachery with treason as is proper for them who promote national infanticide, sexual immorality, and subversion of our God and country. It’s sad to say. However, our federal law enforcement agencies seem to be on the take, and supporting the enemies of freedom….
What I have presented to the people is the exact antithesis, grounded in humanitarian principles, of what the progressively alien, secular/religious, ilk portent for us all….
I believe a big part of our problem here in the US lies in the fact that a lot of our people really don’t know what ethics or principles are, and their true implications and impact that they have within our gov’t and within our lives. If they did they would not say or do some of the things that they do.
History has shown that where the gov’t leads the people will follow until the gov’t becomes so powerful and oppressive that the people revolt out of desperation or die trying. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is when a gov’t gains absolute control over their people, and their resources like has happened in so many countries around our world. It’s very heartbreaking not to be able to help these people in their gov’t inflicted anguish and bondage. I just hope the American people smarten up before us and our children end up in the same circumstances….
So, whose set of principles/ethics or moral codes do you want to use for governing, law making, business affairs, domestic affairs, foreign affairs, religious affairs, or crime and punishment? Should it be put to the vote and let the cards fall where they may after our progressively, secular/liberal, corporate/gov’t has flooded our communities with legal and illegal aliens?
If your having trouble trying to figure this one out , well, here are some helpful suggestions:
Secular Humanists, Wiccans, Satanists, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Taoism, Vodon, Little Green Menism, Atheists, Agnostics, etc…. Beam me up Scotty…there’s no intelligent life down here!
Christian denominations do not qualify as alien religions here in the US. They are all a part of the founders and our foundation constituting our national identity, form of gov’t and law making. The moral codes our founders borrowed from the Judeo-Christian texts is the glue that unites all our people as one though we may have come from different cultures.
Furthermore, aliens who enter this country are to assimilate into our culture, way of life, and national identity as productive US citizens. If jerk-offs get into our gov’t and try to dissolve our binding glue then the resulting unleashed social and political insanity will be our end…and that may not be too far off….
Only in America where the progressively radical, secular/liberal, alien religious, fringe elements have infiltrate our gov’t and institutions, and can thereby convince some of our mindless indoctrinated citizens to give up their wealth, liberties, form of gov’t, religion and national identity through subterfuge…..
Here is the real new form of gov’t and change that many of the radically progressive fringe elements are helping to bring down on us here in the USSA…Reality Check:
Fascism is a reaction against socialism, in addition to being corporatist in nature (socialism is anti-corporatist) and protecting the “sanctity” of private property (socialism is about collectivism, not separate, private property.) Part of the confusion has its roots in Adolf Hitler’s ability to use words to sway and control the masses. He used the word “Socialist” to draw people who continued to adhere to socialism, even though the nature of Hitler’s movement was not socialist at all, with its loyalty to industry (budding corporations) and protection of private property from those less fortunate (definitely not redistribution of wealth.)
The so-called redistribution of wealth currently taking place in our country is a lie and an international pondsy scheme to the extent that the money that is actually being redistributed is deficit funds, money being printed up and charged to us and our unborn children which once spent ends up in the off-shore bank accounts of the top 1-2% of our population who are called the corporate/gov’t elite.
Our gov’t only rakes in $2.2-trillion a year in taxes and spends four or five times that amount, and I have heard it said to be much higher than that from different sources like Lou Dobbs and Gov. Tim Pawlenty, etc. Eventually, this bubble will burst, and where will all of them end up who were dependent on the gov’t/tax-payer payroll
Furthermore, It would probably not make a whole lot of difference either way at this point in our country’s history if the legal/illegal aliens were here or not with the current job situation being what it is for everyone. However, as to the social costs of legal/illegal aliens on all levels, as I point out in `Obama’s War & SSI SubCulture’, it would save the present and future tax-payer trillions of dollars if they were sent back. It is said that the cost for supporting illegal’s alone on our social programs here in the US is somewhere in the neighborhood of $2.6-trillion a year, and another $1.5-billion a year to house them in our prisons. Talk about culture shock and subversion. I believe these stats are largely underestimated as is everything of real value to the American people.
Hell, you can go to California and can get yourself an IOU for a taco since 40% of the school kids are Mexican immigrants who have helped to bankrupt the whole state and their social programs. Pretty soon you can get an IOU here in NY for rice and beans since our communities, and state are being bankrupted by a mass influx of Puerto Ricans….
I will not rule nor be ruled. I will neither be master nor slave.” fascism n. [Italian fascismo < fascio, political group < L fascis: see fasces] 1. the doctrines, methods or movement of the Fascisti 2. a system of gov't characterized by rigid 1-party dictatorship, forcible suppression of opposition, private economic enterprise under centralized gov'tal control, belligerent nationalism, racism, & militarism, etc.: first instituted in Italy in 1922 3. a) a political movement based on such policies b) fascist behavior see also Nazi fasces n. pl. [L pl of fascis, a bundle, [bleep]ot, packet < OE base *bhasko-, bundle, whence MIr basc, neck-band] a bundle of rods bound about an ax with projecting blade, carried before ancient Roman magistrates as a symbol of authority: later the symbol of Italian fascism { for an illustration see the latest edition of Freedom Network News from ISIL, _Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do_ by Peter McWilliams, the walls of the US House Chamber, or the reverse side of a pre-1964 dime, lawyer Rex Curry also has some materials and images }
Corporations are business entities or enterprises where it is supposedly owned by many stock holders (Ralf Nader said only 3% of all stock is owned by 80% of our population) and no individual can be held responsible or accountable if it goes bust. This is accomplished by the private assets of the actual individuals who are running the corporation being kept separate or disconnected from the corporate assets; if any still exist on its books when it goes bust. This is how the corporate exec get away with tucking trillions of our dollars away into off-shore bank accounts….
Therefore, with the fascist ruling of our supreme court giving real life individual status to corporations, I find it to be inherently ridiculous and a blatantly subversive mockery of our Democratic Republic, of our founding principles, and of our founding documents protecting us from the corruption of corporate/gov't or any other subversive entities. The next thing you know, these radical, liberal, fascist, progressively secular, monkey-god judges will allow a corporation to run for public office if it was said to be born in our country. Then again, what difference would it actually make, anyway?
This preservation of innocent life was viewed by our Founding Fathers as one of the chief purposes of civil government. As Thomas Jefferson explained, “the care of human life. . .is the fist and only legitimate object of good government.” And the Declaration of Independence similarly declared: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men . . .are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life. . . .[And] that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men.”
Consequently, the Founders established numerous laws to protect innocent life – laws prohibiting murder, suicide (which the Founders termed “self-murder”), assisted suicide, abortion, and infanticide. Yet, in protecting life, the Founders understood that respect for innocent life would dwindle if the influence of religion were reduced in the nation. As President George Washington warned: “Where is the security . . . for life if the sense of religious obligation desert?”
Thomas Paine's attack against Christianity and religion with his manifesto `Age of Reason' and the majority of our Founders similar responses:
Paine later published his Age of Reason, which infuriated many of the Founding Fathers. John Adams wrote, “The Christian religion is, above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, virtue, equity and humanity, let the Blackguard [scoundrel, rogue] Paine say what he will.” 2
Samuel Adams wrote Paine a stiff rebuke, telling him, “[W]hen I heard you had turned your mind to a defense of infidelity, I felt myself much astonished and more grieved that you had attempted a measure so injurious to the feelings and so repugnant to the true interest of so great a part of the citizens of the United States.” 3
Earlier courts long understood Jefferson's intent. In fact, when Jefferson's letter was invoked by the Supreme Court (only twice prior to the 1947 Everson case – the Reynolds vs.. United States case in 1878), unlike today's Courts which publish only his eight-word separation phrase, that earlier Court published Jefferson's entire letter and then concluded:
Coming as this does from an acknowledged leader of the advocates of the measure, it [Jefferson's letter] may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the Amendment thus secured. Congress was deprived of all legislative power over mere [religious] opinion, but was left free to reach actions which were in violation of social duties or subversive of good order. (emphasis added) [12]
That Court then succinctly summarized Jefferson's intent for "separation of church and state":
[T]he rightful purposes of civil government are for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order. In th[is] . . . is found the true distinction between what properly belongs to the church and what to the State. [13]
With this even the Baptists had agreed; for while wanting to see the government prohibited from interfering with or limiting religious activities, they also had declared it a legitimate function of government "to punish the man who works ill to his neighbor."
That Court, therefore, and others (for example, Commonwealth vs.. Nesbit and Lindenmuller vs.. The People), identified actions into which – if perpetrated in the name of religion – the government did have legitimate reason to intrude. Those activities included human sacrifice, polygamy, bigamy, concubinage, incest, infanticide, parricide, advocation and promotion of immorality, etc.
Such acts, even if perpetrated in the name of religion, would be stopped by the government since, as the Court had explained, they were "subversive of good order" and were "overt acts against peace." However, the government was never to interfere with traditional religious practices outlined in "the Books of the Law and the Gospel" – whether public prayer, the use of the Scriptures, public acknowledgements of God, etc.
Whereas in 1789, Congress, in the midst of framing the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment, passed the first Federal law touching education, declaring that `Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged';
I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties. I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and Creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association assurances of my high respect and esteem. [9]
Jefferson's reference to "natural rights" invoked an important legal phrase which was part of the rhetoric of that day and which reaffirmed his belief that religious liberties were inalienable rights. While the phrase "natural rights" communicated much to people then, to most citizens today those words mean little.
By definition, "natural rights" included "that which the Books of the Law and the Gospel do contain." [10] That is, "natural rights" incorporated what God Himself had guaranteed to man in the Scriptures.
The secular subversive judges, and like politicians who in their treasonable efforts to pass off their secular religion as a natural existing mechanism for rule of law intended by our Founders, and enforced upon the citizens of our great nation, attending to such matters in the cases submitted violated our founding laws, and their position of office by contending with the subversive un-natural, un-Godly and evil propositions of infanticide-abortion, immorality-sexual perversion, and the immoral subversion of our God and country within our high courts, our gov't auspices, our schoolrooms, and should therefore be charged with high treason and shot!
It is obvious that alien miscreant judges and like politicians within our courts and gov't did violate our foundational laws as were laid down by our Founders outlining the courts civic and social duties to enforce action against them who violate the natural-Godly moral good of the people. Such violations are clearly defined by our Founders and their establishment of law. Like I have previously stated that the progressively secular, subversive, alien monkey-god usurpers have infiltrated our gov't, courts, and institutions. The American people are outraged and justly so, and demand accountability for their attack against our Democratic Republic and our citizens through subversion, subterfuge, perversion, and corruption that has reeked political and social havoc, all manners of vice, robbery, and murder upon our nation and its citizens….
Furthermore, the miscreant, and alien judges and the like politician who have infiltrated our high offices and who are now deliberately inflicting all manner of ill and harm against our citizens by denying the inalienable rights of all men to their children by the subversive, and divisive unmitigated empowerment of our young girls and women to commit infanticide, and by the exclusionary rights of women to the born children through the deliberate subterfuge of our founding principles held within our constitution, constitutes high crime-treason;
Furthermore, for any person(s) found within our gov't auspices to deliberately and knowing make treaties or policies of trade or otherwise while in collusion that did in fact endanger the security and sovereignty of the nation, and further being made in direct conflict to the interests, and well being of the American people, and did in fact inflict injury and harm by said miscreants works of treachery, constitutes high crime-treason;
Therefore, as an American citizen, I do lodge this legal formal complaint against the miscreants guilty of the aforesaid actions against the American people, and I do urge them in our federal law enforcement agencies to act accordingly, and responsibly in the discharge of their duties and obligations to arrest said miscreants for prosecution in defense of the American people and our constitution.
How do you like this? No truer words spoken in our modern times….

No surprise here.

Unions gave over 400 Million to the Obama Presidential campaign, which is still awaiting financial audit:
