Mad Michelle taking it to the streets

The author of this piece gives a salient report and unique perspective on the history of this first lady and her most recent attacks against her and the president's 'enemies of the people list.' Below is just an excerpt. There is more at the link and well worth a look at the complete piece.

The very angry first lady Michelle

And it’s already begun. Mad Michelle this week popped down to Davis Island, Fla., to hobnob with the very people her husband despises - the 1 percent. At a massive mansion on the bay, filled with the wealthiest of the wealthy, America’s first lady launched into a tirade about “them” - the Republicans.

“Let’s not forget about what it meant when my husband appointed two brilliant Supreme Court justices, and for the first time in history, our daughters - and our sons - watched three women take their seats on our nation’s highest court. But more importantly, let’s not forget the impact their decisions will have on our lives for decades to come - on our privacy and our security, on whether we can speak freely, worship openly and love whomever we choose. That is what’s at stake here,” she said to applause.

Yes, Republicans hope to regain the White House so they can install Supreme Court justices who will trample Americans’ privacy, ignore the nation’s security, crush free speech and persecute the religious.

Oh, and they’re rich and racist to boot. “Will we be a country where opportunity is limited to just the few at the top? Who are we? Or will we give every child a chance to succeed no matter where they’re from, or what they look like or how much money their parents have. Who are we?”

3 1/2 Days: A lesson in reality

This is a good synopsis of the present day Occupy protestors and the real motivations fueling their angst.

The bounty of Islam

For those who may still be undecided on exactly what positions our "friends" the Saudi's hold concerning Israel, (or there relationship with America) here is yet another peek in the box.

Saudi royal offers $900,000 reward

A Saudi royal offered a $900,000 reward to anyone who captures an Israeli soldier, on Saturday. Prince Khaled bin Talal, the brother of business tycoon Walid bin Talal, told the Saudi-based broadcaster Al Daleel that the captive would then be released in exchange for Arabs held in Israeli prisons. Khaled's offer comes days after the prominent Saudi cleric, Awad al-Qarni, put $100,000 on the head of every Israeli soldier.

The bottom line, regardless of their juxtapositions and their assurances that they are our friends, there are few if any true friends of America in the middle east, and that reality is glaring when it comes to the Saudi's. They enjoy our money spent on their oil and our foreign aid and our luxuries, but aside from material things they despise us.

It may have passed unnoticed by millions of Americans that seventeen of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi nationals. Millions of Americans may be oblivious to the literally billions spent and being spent by the Saudis to build mosques in this country, but the facts and the truth and the history tell a different story.

Make no mistake, the so called Arab Spring was something brought about by America's demonstrated weakness of leadership and the current president's obvious contrition to all things Islam. America is being set up and prepared for Islamic conquest. It may take another generation, but left unabated, these Islamic attacks and infiltrations on our culture and our nation will continue. Until one day we won't be able to recall when it was that we literally lost this country to the religion of Islam.

Gingrich Warns of Anti-Christian Spring

The polls may all be saying that Herman Cain is in the lead, but as we approach the holidays and the early primaries, Newt Gingrich is the dark horse coming  up along the outside.. And in South Carolina yesterday, he was addressing the most recent egalitarian attacks on our faith and our system.

Gingrich speaking in South Carolina

Gingrich challenged the "people who filed the lawsuit," asking rhetorically, "Are you prepared to sponsor a Christian missionary in Mecca? Because if you're not prepared to sponsor religious liberty in Saudi Arabia, don't come and nag us with some hypocritical baloney. So I think we need to be prepared to stand firm for genuine religious liberty, not for something that's anti-Christian."

Gingrich challenged the "people who filed the lawsuit," asking rhetorically, "Are you prepared to sponsor a Christian missionary in Mecca? Because if you're not prepared to sponsor religious liberty in Saudi Arabia, don't come and nag us with some hypocritical baloney. So I think we need to be prepared to stand firm for genuine religious liberty, not for something that's anti-Christian."

Newt Gingrich realizes, as do most reasonable Americans, that complaints and challenges like these are simply Trojan horse hypocrisy aimed at attacking both America and its predominant faith. As Newt rightly queries, why are they attending a Catholic university to begin with, stating in essence, that if they feel uncomfortable surrounded by the trappings of Christianity:  'Fine, don't go to a Catholic university.'

Too many Americans see or hear reports like these and simply brush them off as nonsense and nothing to worry about, but these attacks are the real means and tools of those seeking to destroy our society and culture. They do so by attacking  our system and our faith with our own laws and with the egalitarian ruse of simply seeking equality and fairness, but equality and fairness are not in their lexicon when the situations are reversed.

I believe that Newt Gingrich is on target and seizing upon the realities that he can capitalize on politically, by pointing out the abject hypocrisy of challenges to our faith and institutions, by those who demonstrably have only ill will and hatred toward this nation and Christianity. Newt Gingrich is one of the few people who can adequately take on the lies of egalitarianism and expose them for what they truly are. And more and more people in America are beginning to realize that.

I learned today: "Jello was my field of dreams"

I was invited this morning to a Five Star Man prayer breakfast at a local church by my good friend and next door neighbor Adrian. Five Star Man is a Christian ministry that seeks to demonstrate through examples, how Christian men should be leading their lives. The approach is to bring Christian men together and through prayer and shared experiences,  they can come together to understand what it means to live a Christian guided life.

The members of the program are local church members and from time to time they have special guests to speak to the men. The program holds several gatherings a year and at each gathering of men, the topics are always centered on the principles of living your life as a Christian man and as a Christian husband and as a Christian father. You listen and discuss with others how you should live your life.

Today's message focused on the qualities of being a good father. The associate minister handling the service was joined by four other church members in delivering the message and handling the questions raised by those in attendance.

The minister's message was a simple reaffirmation of the principles that every man knows or should know (through experience) when it comes to being a father. The minister's message covered every aspect of raising children, from setting examples, to administering discipline to being actively involved in your children's lives. And the four other lay ministers reinforced the message with personal stories of their own struggles to be good fathers.

While listening to these men's testimonies, it occurred to me that the things that I had learned as a father, could be distilled down to a few very simple realities. Hard learned, but none the less simple. Caring for and about your children's lives being foremost in my mind as the number one  and first importance to being a good father. Summed up another way, I was reminded of my years as a youth sports coach and something I was told long ago about coaching kids.

I was told coach, "these kids don't care what you know. What they want to know is that you care." Simply stated, if there is one element missing in the lives of a lot of today's children, that missing element in my opinion is caring parents. I saw it in the lives of children who played ball for me. Their parents were barely there for them if at all. They dropped off their kids at practice or games, or farmed them out to other parents to look after while they pursued other interests. They rarely attended one of their kids games and they never attended a practice. Subsequently, I have seen how several of those kids turned out as adults. In essence they were the products of a two parent broken home. Their parents lived together, but these parents never cared one iota about their children's lives. They fed them, clothed them and sent them to school, but that was where it began and where it ended.

The bottom line, parenting is no different than a lot of other things in life. You get out of it what you put into it and when you ignore your children and you never have time for them, someone or something will have time for them. And as a rule, that someone or something will not turn out good for them in the end.

I have four adult children now and I look back on the plays and the dinners and rehearsals. I look back on all the practices and all the games and all the tournaments that my wife and I attended and cheered on. I look back on it now, because it is long in the past, but I have seen how my kids turned out and all in all, we didn't do too bad as parents. They are all good kids and young adults and approaching middle aged adults now.

So......if  there are two main principles to raising children in my opinion? First and foremost, let them know that you care and you do that with love and attention and interest in their lives. Next, be part of their lives every day and always make the time to be there for their smallest endeavors and their greatest challenges. They will remember that you were there (and so will you).

Lastly,  remember that raising children is like nailing Jello to a wall. You do your best, you hammer away at character and principles and the myriad of things that you know are important. Time and again you tack the best qualities of individual character and honesty and truthfulness to their walls and time and again you see your efforts seemingly fade away without any acknowledgement or appearance of understanding. But you never give up, you persevere and you push forward and you continue to drive home the lessons of life that you know will one day be important to them. And in the end, you hope that some of it sticks.

I remember something that my father told me one day when I was a teenager. He said "son, when I was sixteen years old, I couldn't believe how incredibly stupid my father was and when I turned twenty one? I couldn't believe how much he had learned in five years" It took me a while to get the point of that message and I can't tell you exactly when it was that the light bulb came on in my head, but it eventually did register.

So as a father of four and as a man who stumbled and failed on many levels, somehow I seem to have pulled it off and made it through it all. I have four good kids and four good productive Americans. There have been times when I have been more than disappointed in each of them and there have been times when I have been bursting with pride for each of them. And I am proud to say that the latter times far outweigh the former times.

There aren't any real books or manuals on fatherhood, it's something that just happens as you go along and if you are lucky, you get it right in the end. When I was thinking about it today as I sat and listened to these other fathers recount their own personal struggles, I had several thoughts that came to my mind, not the least of which being my tender age of twenty three when I first became a father. Some how I muddled through and managed to see my first two kids turn into good level headed adn honest people.

By the time my second set of children came along, I was in my thirties and I most certainly thought that I had this fatherhood thing all figured out by then, but I have to admit that I didn't. I ultimately learned that being a father is a full time job and it is an ongoing learning experience and I believe the only way that you ever know how you did, is once it is all over. Life is like that. It gives you the test first, then it teaches you the lesson. All in all, I probably didn't get an A, but I think I did pretty good, all things considered.

Which brings me to the realization that ultimately intrigued me today as I finally put it all together. Most people have seen Kevin Costner's classic film Field of Dreams, where he portrays Ray Kinsella, an Iowa farmer inexplicably possessed to build a baseball field in the middle of his corn field. And most people will remember the brother in law Mark who throughout the film, was badgering his sister, (Annie Kinsella)  Ray's wife, to sign over the farm to him and his partners, or else face foreclosure.

After Ray's daughter falls off the bleachers and begins choking, 'Moonlight' Graham steps off the field and becomes his old self, Dr. Archibald Graham in order to save the little girl's life. As he is dusting her off "good as new" and everyone is thanking him for what he has done, it suddenly dawns on Ray and his wife that Doc Graham can't go back.  Having stepped off the field of dreams, he is stuck as he was in old age, "but no regrets."

While that realization is sinking in with the audience, Mark suddenly has an epiphany. He suddenly looks out at the field and remarks: "When did these ballplayers get here?" And everyone begins laughing, both on screen and in the audience.

As I sat listening to the discussion of parenting and fatherhood in church this morning, I too had an epiphany. I recalled the countless times I had told people how raising children was like trying to nail Jello to a wall. You hammered it and hammered it all your life and you hoped that some how some of it would eventually stick. But for all your efforts, more often than not, all you could see was the Jello sliding down the wall with little acknowledgement for your efforts.

Then one day your kids are grown and you are having a conversation with them and something that you once believed you would never hear come out of their mouths is said. It just trickles out like that long line of cars approaching Ray Kinsella's farm at the end of the film. And that is when you suddenly look around and say to yourself: "where did all this Jello come from?"


It's taken me over thirty five years to suddenly see the Jello that is firmly nailed to their walls, but now that I have seen it, I have to admit that it is very much like walking out and onto my own field of dreams.......

Obama expanding class warfare

 According to some reports, the president's new tack is to pursue the same campaign plan of his predecessor of seventy five years ago. Apparently, the president intends to mimic the class warfare tactics that seemed to have worked well for FDR in 1936. But will this tactic work? FDR's us against them approach worked well in depression era America, but his policies after election did absolutely nothing to improve the American economy. It took world war two to do that.

Those watching the Occupy protests across America might tend to agree that Obama' class warfare tactics are working, but it is my opinion that these are forced opinions and not reflective of the numbers that liberals would like everyone to believe exists. These are opinions being created by unionized money and efforts of organization and the efforts of media to further the appearance of a large mass than is actually involved.

And remember, over the past two years when the Tea Party was turning out thousands, the media acted as if there was barely anything of noteworthy interest to report. I don't believe this newly re-worked approach by the democrats is going to work. Obama isn't even a one trick pony and to date, he has provided absolutely nothing to solve or resolve the nation's unemployment or flagging economy. Stay tuned.

Obama takes risky stance against the rich

With the US economy suffering through its deepest slump since the Great Depression, the Obama administration has designed a political strategy to match, with echoes of the campaign rhetoric deployed by Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s.

 

Herman Cain: "A Black Man Who Knows His Place"

Is it just me? Or has anyone else ever noticed that the minute that you disagree with a liberal? You are a racist. All republicans are inherently racist, they must be, they have to be, no other explanation according to liberals.

And woe be unto ye if you are a black man who doesn't tow the party plantation line. You are worse than a racist. You are a Tom.

I have come to the conclusion that this country has reached the point of irreconcilable differences. We have once again reached the point where the nation is so divided, the only answer is either division and separation or war.

The right of the people....

This is a radio commercial that was recently aired in Texas. I have to say, I agree 100%. If I lived in Texas, I would be doing business with businesses like this.

UPDATED: Oakland Mayor Quan Prosecute This Cop or Resign: Photo Evidence, Scott Olsen Shooting

UPDATED: Oakland Mayor Quan Prosecute This Cop or Resign: Photo Evidence, Scott Olsen Shooting

For those interested, the left and the media are attempting to create their 'Kent State moment' for the Occupy movement. When Oakland police moved in to evict the protestors earlier this week in Oakland California, they were met with anarchist resistance and a concerted effort to engage in violent resistance toward the police. The police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. In the melee, an individual identified as Scott Olsen was reportedly struck in the head by a 'police projectile.' Subsequently those at the Guardian newspaper in the UK are reporting that Olsen was shot by a police officer. This report has been picked up by The Daily Kos and other leftist blogs and media and these reports are now being spread by mainstream media.

To date, there is absolutely no evidence this young man was struck by any police projectile period and the videos linked at The Guardian and The Daily Kos by those attempting to make those allegations, are weak and poorly crafted at best. Those pushing this story line and trying to assert evidence though intentionally blurred insets in a video and from long range aerial footage (apparently taken by news media helicopters who were over the area and filming). They simply can't make their case or any case based on these videos and stills no matter how much additional suggestive commentary they include with them.

An update to this fabrication has now been revealed: It appears that the individual injured (Scott Olsen,) is not only an activist anti war agitator, but he is also the author of a website titled 'I hate the Marine Corps. Do You?'

Prior to these revelations, the leftist and those in leftist media have been reporting that Scott Olsen is an Iraq war veteran in an attempt to garner sympathy for their cause. The classic 'see! you shot one of your own 'gotcha moments.' Problem is, it isn't working.

Go ahead, follow the links and read and watch the fabrications. The Guardian link

There is no level that these leftist will not stoop to and there is no level of objectivity that many in the media will not betray to create sensationalism while furthering the cause of anarchy in the streets.

So why is no one asking the obvious

Why are Muslims attending a Catholic university in the first place and just what the hell did they expect?

Muslims say crosses at Catholic University Violate “Human Rights”

The Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights confirmed that it is investigating allegations that Catholic University violated the human rights of Muslim students by not allowing them to form a Muslim student group and by not providing them rooms without Christian symbols for their daily prayers.

S&P 500 Extends Best Month Since ’74, Euro Rises

Stocks surged, extending the biggest monthly rally for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index since 1974, and the euro strengthened as European leaders agreed to expand a bailout fund to stem the region’s debt crisis. Treasuries sank, while metals and oil led a rally in commodities.

 Apparently all the jubilation was caused by the news that the EU had reached an agreement to bailout Greece and save the union. Of course, no one is really speaking of the deal for what it is and what it truly represents. 

The EU has forgiven 50% of Greece's debt, which is conservatively over 100 billion euros and they have sweetened the pot by floating them another advance for yet another 100 billion Euros. Most accountants would call the first part of the deal a structured bankruptcy and require the one bankrupting to be devoid of credit for at least seven years. But in this instance, the EU simply extended the credit limit of the Greeks and all of this is somehow supposed to stave off a complete collapse of the Euro.

I am no economist, but I say, don't count on it. Something tells me that this is a stop gap measure much like the little boy with his finger in the dike. The big burst will still happen. They may have postponed it, but it is coming and when the dam finally does break, it will devastate the whole of Europe and the UK and the Tsunami that it causes in the global markets will wash up on our shores in less than twelve hours after the collapse.

Happy days are here again!  Not so fast folks. These people are dancing on quick sand and they don't even have the sense enough to realize it.

Who are the true 99%?

And why is the view of reality being so skewed by the media.....

Since at least February of this year, America has been inundated with media coverage of protestors nation wide. Ever since the Tea Party scored its victories and retook the House last fall, the rising anger of the extreme left has been palpable. These new protestors are supposedly responding to the weak economy and the lack of jobs (as if the Tea Party wasn't)  and the general social unfairness of their plight nationally. Additionally, we are being told that they are protesting the disparity between the haves and the have nots as they are being led by their behind the scenes mentors.

These newly enlisted liberal ideologues have taken to the streets and to selected state houses to attempt to create their illusion of majority and to demand that they be given their 'fair share.' Some might say 'as promised' by this president when he tendered his first versions of support for wealth re-distribution back during his campaign. This has been continually reinforced in his speeches ever since. The commonality of inequity and the lack of fairness are what are truly at the root cause of American economic misery according to Barack Obama. And as such the remedy is to take by force if necessary, that which will not be surrendered willingly.

Make no mistake, these protests are neither by chance or are they derived from some well spring of spontaneity amongst the majority or mass of Americans who are feeling the same pain. Quite to the contrary,  this movement is an organized effort and attack by those in the shadows. This movement has been organized by those behind the scenes in the present administration and their associates and cronies in the new party politique of the socialist left and their unionized cronies in the SEIU, AFL CIO, ACORN and others.

The liberal left hasn't taken their defeat by the people at the polls last fall well at all and they set about immediately to recapture the power they lost in those elections. Those who have been paying attention may have noticed, that there have been no retractions or retreats from their previous positions, the same positions that the people shouted ENOUGH! at last November. Those on the left are not apologetic of their actions in the least, if anything, they are recalcitrant in their continued efforts to fundamentally change this nation into a third world socialist reformed 'has been nation.'

Their propaganda speaks of how this nation and its people have been betrayed by the Wall Street fat cats and how their jobs have been shipped over seas in order to increase profits at the costs of lost American jobs. But they never touch on the overt regulations and taxation that are truly responsible for the flight of American manufacturing and jobs. There is no mention of the smothering environmental regulations that have put industry after industry in this country out of business. No more than there is any mention of the Chinese Juggernaut that continues its march toward swallowing up America, while  using the very same principles that once made America great. These principles of capitalism  as practiced by the Chinese, are now considered anathema the the leftist of America.

No....., no one in media wants to shine the light into the dark places and report the truth about why America is in decline or its roots and origins in failed socialist policies dating back to the Roosevelt era of the New Deal. No....., American media is far more content with their reality versions of entertainment programming, while reporting the news as something they are more interested n creating and shaping than reporting on. 

This president has remained completely devoid of any ideas or policies to turn the economy and unemployment around, primarily because every valid proposal to do so runs diametrically opposed to his Fabian socialist views. And the views of the left wing extreme only echo Obama's,  then in the same breath condemn his policies to date for not going far enough to socialize this nation.

Therefore, what we are seeing is neither by chance or representative of the majority. This is a forced perspective of an extreme minority, combined with the solicited and easily duped support of union thugs and the young and impressionable idealist on college campuses. The tactics are no different from those employed over the past forty years ever since Viet Nam and the protests of that era.

The main difference now, is that aside from reporting on the events, the contemporary media is complicit in creating and generating the landscape of protests, so that they can cover them. The media are complicit at all levels in the scheme, be it print or broadcast media, the crafting of the news and these protests are following a common guidance.

Americans are being told by occupy protestors, that the occupy protests represent the 99% (of Americans) and that they are opposed to the 1% who they see as the rich fat cat bankers of Wall Street. I would submit that if anyone represents the 1%, it is those presently engaged in these protests nation wide.

The media has continually allowed the left to decry the Tea Party protestors of the last two years and they have done so with nothing more than provable false representations of manifest anger and allegations of racism and violence against liberal members of congress.  Yet after the most recent occupy protests began, the media have gone out of their way to avoid reporting on actual documented and undeniable violence on the part of the occupy protestors.

The socialist left and their supporters in this administration have been allowed to put forth one of the oldest tricks in the socialist play book. They are using the big lie principle of the original socialist party of pre war WWII Germany, while at the same time utilizing the methodology of 'transference' of their own guilt to their enemies on the right.

Target and isolate and demonize comes straight from the play book of Saul Alinsky and his rules for radicals, save one recent addition. And that recent addition to the tactics of Alinsky and others in the Marxist movement, is that they now have a complicit media to help them spread their message. A media completely immersed in the lies of egalitarian Utopianism and willingly participating in the duping of America.

So as you watch these events unfolding, keep your perspective and watch as the truth is morphed and molded from the lies and abstracts of a socialist egalitarian battle plan to destroy this nation. Our very future as a nation comes down to next year and the presidential election. If Barack Obama remains in office and if the left can regain control of the house, this nation as we know it is doomed. We will never be able to repair or recover that which will have been lost.

Jerry Brown re-defining fair

So, what happens when fair goes too far? What happens when the union model begins to collapse the system? Or of more interest, what happens when a liberal redefines fair in a heavily union state? Remember a few months ago after a republican governor took office in Wisconsin and he tried to reform and gain control of the state's runaway budget? And when employee union benefits and pension roll backs were proposed in Wisconsin other states like Ohio?

The 'lib-tards' began their first rounds of occupy protests. They laid siege to the capitol for weeks in Wisconsin as an example. Now comes the most liberal of liberal democrat governors and he is tabling the exact same cuts and measures to combat his own sinking ship. Stay tuned. I can't wait to see how this plays out and how the media portrays it.

 Gov. Jerry Brown will propose sweeping rollbacks to public employee pension benefits in California, including raising the retirement age to 67 for new employees who are not public safety workers and requiring state and local employees to pay more toward their retirement and health care, according to a draft of the plan obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.

Let's make a deal: Deal Done!

It looks like the European version of let's make a deal has garnered a stop gap measure to rescue the lot. Hopefully. By saving Greece, the believe is that the rest will be saved from a similar fate.

A 50 pct cut, to reduce Greek debt by 100 bln euro

Oct 27 (Reuters) - Private owners of Greek bonds will accept a 50 percent writedown on their investment, enabling both a 100 billion euro cut in Greece's sovereign debts and allowing a new Greek programme of aid of 100 billion euros, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday.

So, this is just like an American style 'structured bankruptcy, except for one thing. After writing off one billion in debt for the Greeks, Europe will turn right around and give them another billion. Now just remember, even with the forgiving of debt and the extra cash, Greece must pare down to the bone it's socialist system and its public and government unions. That hasn't sat well to date and it won't fare any better as this deal carries forth. And what of the other socialist cultures of Europe that are also staggering. What will be the solution for those? More forgiven debts and the injection of more money that they don't have? Sure sounds like it to me.

More Occupy loons

Some things have to be seen and heard to be believed. Watch as "Doctor Elijah Abbott Jones" explains how he intended to levitate the Georgia Pacific building in Downtown Atlanta yesterday. And before that, his partner explains how if the Koch brothers don't "Capulate" by 5:30 yesterday, they were going to levitate the building.

Bill Ayers teaching revolution to Occupy Chicago

An interesting peek in the box of what is truly being fermented in this country and who is behind it. Bill Ayers? Remember him? The former Pentagon Terrorist turned college professor and neighborhood friend of Barack Obama before he was elected to either the senate or the white house. Here he is teaching revolution in the streets of Chicago.

Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, October 26, 2011, 5:45 AM at Gateway Pundit On October 20th, 2011 the Obama-endorsed Occupy Chicago activists invited unrepentant domestic terrorist turned University of Illinois professor, Bill Ayers, to lead a “teach-in” on the virtues of confrontational tactics. The teaching session was dubbed “non-violent disobedience” in the anti-capitalist revolution. Bill Ayers told the young leftists about how he met with the North Vietnamese to discuss fomenting revolution in America. The meeting was held on the street in downtown Chicago. The young activists lapped it up. The video was released tonight by the EAG Foundation:

Calypso Louie is upset with Obama

Controversial Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan condemned the killing of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi on Tuesday, warning that America and other Western powers will soon face severe consequences for their support of the uprising that led to the dictator's death.

I love this Farakan quote on the video: "Ghadaffi died in honor, defending the Libya that he believed in." Hiding in a drain pipe and squealing like a little girl while they prepare to execute you ain't exactly what comes to mind when I think of a a glorified martyr dying a heroes death. But maybe that's just me.

One of the few interesting aspects of Farakan's delusional rants, are his repeated references to and use of the bible to justify his view of the world. On the surface? The "Nation of Islam" are followers of Allah and Islam and they are adherents to the teachings of the great Elijah Mohamed. Therefore, there seems to be an intrinsic difference of beliefs and yet a commingling of the two religions by Louie.

I have often wondered how the real middle eastern Muslims look upon screwy Louie and his version of Islam.

Of course neither Christianity nor Islam speak of mother ships or the big wheel in the sky etc.. These were apparently additions to the Nation's belief system created by their one and only prophet Elijah Mohamed. After he was released from prison of course.

In either event, it is interesting to listen to screwy Louie denouncing Obama and calling him an assassin. Stay tuned, if he seriously pisses the man off? Perhaps there is a 'drone' in his future.

Yeah.... they are the 99% alright

The American people need to see what these jerks are really about.


The Obama-endorsed Occupy San Diego leftists  found a new use for the American flag– a dog chew toy.

America leads in Gold Reserve

So.....even with gold approaching $2000 an ounce, we remain hopelessly in debt beyond our wildest dreams.

Rank Owner Tonnes Share of Foreign Reserves

Ranked #1 United States 8,133.5 78.3%
The United States holds the largest gold reserve in the world. With 8,133.5 tonnes, U.S. gold holdings are worth approximately $269.67 billion. This massive gold reserve represents about .9436 an ounce for every person living in the country.

Gingrich to debate Cain

The announcement of the first of his Lincoln Douglas style debates will certainly garner attention with the media and hopefully pique the interests of American voters. Newt Gingrich is the most astute and capable debater in the entire political spectrum in my opinion and the man best suited to literally take Obama apart in any debate. But can he win the GOP nomination? I think he can now. Barring missteps, Newt Gingrich is the one candidate poised to truly take down the Obama presidency in the eyes of the American people.

Will his debate against Herman Cain be the beginning of things to come? I don't thinks so. Obama would be a fool to debate Gingrich head on 'mano y mano.' And Gingrich will be foolish if he does more than spar with Cain. In my opinion, there is an inherent danger to debating Herman Cain and that danger is that Gingrich may be perceived as arrogant if he chooses to sharpen his claws on Cain in this debate.

My advice, go easy Newt. Parry and thrust and demonstrate reserved class and respect for Herman Cain and his supporters. Let the people make the decision on measured intellect and coherent discussion. Don't make it a fight and you will win.

Cain, Gingrich set for Lincoln-Douglas debate

The Texas Tea Party Patriots will host a "modified Lincoln-Douglas debate," with Republican candidates Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain confirming their attendance.

Bill O'Sullivan, treasurer of the group, told National Review Online that the recent debates have been "superficial" and "frustrating."

Gingrich, the former House speaker, is a big proponent of debates in the mode of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, who in their 1858 campaign for a U.S. Senate seat in Illinois took their ideas directly to the people in seven congressional districts across the state.

Lincoln lost the 1858 Senate race (back when state legislatures picked U.S. senators) but defeated Douglas, among others, to win the presidency in 1860.

Is Babylon Calling?

Revelation 13:16-18 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the MARK, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev. 13:16-18

Vatican calls for global authority on economy

The Vatican called on Monday for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department should please the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.

“Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority,” was at times very specific, calling, for example, for taxation measures on financial transactions. “The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence,” it said.

It condemned what it called “the idolatry of the market” as well as a “neo-liberal thinking” that it said looked exclusively at technical solutions to economic problems. “In fact, the crisis has revealed behaviours like selfishness, collective greed and hoarding of goods on a great scale,” it said, adding that world economics needed an “ethic of solidarity” among rich and poor nations.

There are many who believe that the bible is truly the inspired word of God. I am one of those. There are also many fundamentalist Christians who believe that the references to Babylon are a direct reflection of the city of Rome and the Vatican as a modern day metaphor.

As I read this article today, I cannot help but feel compelled to believe that what the world is presently witnessing, is the predecessor of events foretold in prophesy thousands of years ago in the bible. Why else would the Vatican be putting forth a proposal that literally speaks directly to the prophesies of Revelation that outline how the world will be brought to accept a singular and ultimate controlling global authority.

Why would the Vatican and the Pope be calling for such a thing?

I can find only one answer and that answer has little to do with either finance or geopolitical politics.

State controlled health care: What a deal!

It can't happen here right? Those who were pushing for Obama care and claiming that service and access to medical care would never be limited or denied? All of that opposition to Obama care was just a bunch of elitist rich people and their partisan hokum right? Americans required to participate in Obama care would never be told that their health care would be limited or that their cases would have to be approved by a death panel. Those were all simply wild embellishments and lies designed to attack the utopian dreams of the man of hope and change.

If you believe any of that that, then look at what is being proposed by state medicaid providers.

More states limiting Medicaid hospital stays

Advocates for the needy and hospital executives say the moves will restrict access to care, force hospitals to absorb more costs and lead to higher charges for privately insured patients.

States defend the actions as a way to balance budgets hammered by the economic downturn and the end of billions of dollars in federal stimulus funds this summer that had helped prop up Medicaid, financed jointly by states and the federal government.

Arizona, which last year stopped covering certain transplants for several months, plans to limit adult Medicaid recipients to 25 days of hospital coverage a year, starting as soon as the end of October.

Hawaii plans to cut Medicaid coverage to 10 days a year in April, the fewest of any state.

Both efforts require federal approval, which state officials consider likely because several other states already restrict hospital coverage.

Private health insurers generally don't limit hospital coverage, according to America's Health Insurance Plans, a trade group.

And if states are preparing to do it now? What happens when the fed reach the end of their string. After they have everyone bought into the scam and the system that we once had no longer exists, there will be no turning back. We can't simply opt out at that point and call our health care insurance provider and sign up again for the paid version that all of us enjoyed.

those days will have gone the way of the Dodo bird and the Carrier Pigeon by then and we will all be screwed.

So think about it. Regardless of the need, you may be told at some point that your health care has a limit like your credit card. and after X number of days? Too bad, you don't qualify for medical care.

Softly, softly catchy monkeys ......

The Muslim Islamist paradigm shift

Over the past several months the world has watched as the so called Muslim spring has taken root and spread across the middle east. In Egypt and Libya and Yemen and all across the region of the former Persia and into northern Africa, the headlines of the west seemed to be telling us that these nations and peoples are simply longing for democracy. That they are simply crying out for that which we have here in America.

So, do those in these Muslim nations truly seek democracy? I say not exactly.

With the death this week of Momar Ghadaffi, another middle eastern nation joins the ranks of turmoil of leadership and a vacuum has been created. Not that Ghadaffi was benevolent, but he was the obstacle barring militant Islam from taking root in Libya again. Now that he is gone, the immediate reaction of those in the interim government of Libya is to immediately shift toward a return to an Islamist Sharia based form of government.

These same sentiments of seeking out a return to Sharia are currently playing out in Iraq and Afghanistan and Egypt and elsewhere in the middle east. All across the region, it isn't democracy that these people are longing for. What they are longing for is the return to the barbarism of Sharia and the re-enslavement of all women.

For too long Muslim women and girls have been exposed to the education and the cultures of the west. This exposure has resulted in the loss of control of women in these countries. These beings who were formerly nothing more than chattel have been rising up and calling for reforms and rights of their own. Radical departures from their social stations in life. They are asking to be educated and to actually drive cars in many places. To be see out in public in some attire other than sack cloth and ashes.

There in lies the problem. The quantum shift in culture that the middle east has seen since the end of WWII is rapidly coming to an end. Those men who were undeniably dictators are being overthrown. Their ruling counsels are being replaced with ideological radical Islamist mullahs, whose sole intent is to see Islamic fundamentalism and Sharia re-installed as the preeminent controlling force and influence in their lives.

Those of you who are watching and reading these reports may have taken note. The middle east that we have always known is changing. Morphing into something quite alien and different from what had existed for most of the twentieth century. We are now moving into a new age. An age where that which presently exists is an anathema and that which is sought after is the new truth and the new answer to age old conflicts.

As Libya boils and bubbles its way into its new incarnation, watch closely how things shape up and take place in the coming months in Iraq and now also in Afghanistan. The tin dick president of Afghanistan has stated this week that if America and Pakistan were to go to war, the Afghans would side with Pakistan.

That's right. These same people who our servicemen are bleeding and dying for, supposedly under the auspices of helping them achieve democracy, are in fact no closer to democracy than they were on day one. All they are waiting on is for America to tire of their adventures in Afghanistan and withdraw. Once that happens (and it will) the Afghans will immediately revert right back to their tribal ways of Sharia.

What has occurred in these countries over the past seventy five years occurred for two simple reasons. Oil and the west's ability to play financial big brother and big bully when need be. Now that we can no longer fulfill either role, these puppet states will once again seek their own natural order.

They will return to Sharia. Democracy was never more than an illusion created by those in the west who were seeking to justify our intrusions into that region in order to gain access to the oil. If America were to discover an alternative source of energy tomorrow? Watch and see how long it would take for the middle east and the pursuit of democracy to become a bygone dream.

In the mean time, those in the middle east have long realized this and now that they have the wealth from oil and America has been weakened, they are setting about to return their cultures to that which they have always been. At this point, the best thing that we can do is pull our people and our resources and get the hell out of the way. America no longer has the means of collective fortitude to continue forcing our presence in the world.

The time has come for this country to draw back its resources and settle the larger looming problems here at home. And yes, that will only mean that eventually we will have to deal with and address a powerful and threatening middle east, but we should prepare to do that from strength and not further weakness.

America is illegal

A philosophical analysis Sometimes when historians and journalists are bored, they like to play what if games. Kind of like, "I wonder what would have happened if Napoleon had been successful. Or, what if Hitler had succeeded." Here we come to a small group of those engaged in looking back at America's founding documents. They call it a philosophical discussion.

In Philadelphia, American and British lawyers have debated the legality of America's founding documents. On Tuesday night, while Republican candidates in Nevada were debating such American issues as nuclear waste disposal and the immigration status of Mitt Romney's gardener, American and British lawyers in Philadelphia were taking on a far more fundamental topic. Namely, just what did Thomas Jefferson think he was doing? Some background: during the hot and sweltering summer of 1776, members of the second Continental Congress travelled to Philadelphia to discuss their frustration with royal rule. By 4 July, America's founding fathers approved a simple document penned by Jefferson that enumerated their grievances and announced themselves a sovereign nation. Continue reading the main story “Start Quote When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security” The Declaration of Independence Called the Declaration of Independence, it was a blow for freedom, a call to war, and the founding of a new empire. founding.

And to the amazement of many, this gathering of lawyer academics has come to the conclusion that America's secession from the rule of England was? Illegal. You don't say? I thought that issue was decided and settled about 236 years ago? The British king came to the conclusion that American independence was illegal and he immediately sued for damages by sending his army and navy to continue to force his edicts on the rebellious colonies. As it turns out, America prevailed in that conflict of ideologies and ultimately surpassed the greatness of it's former mortgage holders by creating the greatest nation on earth. So what say we play a game called reality and true history and forget about these what if games of what might have been had we had the availability of these scholarly minds to appeal to when the history was actually occurring. I say the Brits are just a bunch of sore losers and always have been

Egalitarian multiculturalism via an Air Force veteran

A supposed US Air Force Veteran (mother) is upset because her child's school isn't globalist and multiculturalist enough for her desires. Here's a tip lady....There are planes and buses leaving America every hour and walking ain't crowded. And by all means please take your multiracial, multiculturalist, post nuclear family and go and search out a more fitting culture that meets more closely with your globalist anti American desires and expectations.

An Air Force veteran is outraged that her daughter’s school recently announced that students will be asked to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of each day, the Seattle Times reports. Haley Sides, 26, moved to Seattle after four years in the Air Force so her 6-year-old daughter could attend John Stanford International School, which promotes the same multiculturalism that Sides says she has tried to instill in her half-Jamaican daughter, according to the paper. But Sides became angry when the school’s new principal announced that students will be asked to recite the Pledge of Allegiance each day before the start of classes. The policy, which has long been mandated by district policy but not traditionally observed at John Stanford , will start Monday. "It pains me to think that at a school that emphasizes thinking globally we would institute something that makes our children think that this country alone is where their allegiance lies," said Sides. "This has no educational value for young children. Absolutely none." Read the entire piece here

Afghanistan to back Pakistan against America

Afghanistan would support Pakistan in case of military conflict between Pakistan and the United States, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said in an interview to a private Pakistani TV channel broadcast on Saturday. The remarks were in sharp contrast to recent tension between the two neighbors over cross-border raids, and Afghan accusations that Pakistan was involved in killing the chief Afghan peace envoy, former Afghan president Burhanuddin Rabbani, by a suicide bomber on September 20. "God forbid, If ever there is a war between Pakistan and America, Afghanistan will side with Pakistan," he said in the interview to Geo television.

Say a prayer for peace

Lance Corporal Scott Harper of Douglasville Georgia, paid the ultimate price for peace on October 13th 2011 in the Helmland Province of Afghanistan. He and four other Marines were ambushed by sniper fire. Lance Corporal Harper was killed.



This is a video tribute of his escort home onThursday the 20th. There were over one hundred Patriot Guard Riders and hundreds of others. thousands lined the streets of his small community to welcome "Boots" home.

Semper Fi Marine. We will be there Sunday for his services and his final escort home to God.

OWS Dumps on the neighborhood

A clearer picture is emerging of these so called protests. The specifics of how they are treating the neighborhood and the residents. The American people should know about this, but the mainstream media has chosen to ignore it.

Crapping in doorways, harassing residents
Livid lower Manhattan residents went off on Zuccotti Park protesters at a heated Community Board 1 meeting last night and blasted politicians for not controlling the chaos.
“They’re defecating on our doorsteps,” fumed board member Catherine Hughes, a stay-at-home mom who lives one block from the protest. “The cowbells start at 4 a.m. and the drumming goes past 10 a.m. A lot of people are very frustrated.

A lot of people are concerned about the safety of our kids.”
Fed-up homeowners said they’ve been insulted and harassed as they trek to their jobs each morning. “The protesters taunt people who are on their way to work,” said James Fernandez, 51.
The meeting, packed with more than 200 people, spilled out onto the street, where Zuccotti sympathizers began sparring with their critics.

Board member Paul Cantor said sleepless residents can’t take the incessant racket. “If people can’t sleep ... then that’s a problem,” he said. Despite the complaints, the board unanimously voted for a resolution supporting the protesters’ right to stay in the park but called for a crackdown on noise, public urination and defecation, and disruptive barricades.

Obama creating thousands of new jobs!

There's only one problem. The jobs he is supposedly creating aren't here in America......Another half billion dollars invested in yet another green energy scam and the end result is we have absolutely zero net gain in jobs. Mean while, the useful idiot Biden rambles on about how this is such a great deal and a bright path to new jobs...

Via ABC NEWS:.....Bad Karma

With the approval of the Obama administration, an electric car company that received a $529 million federal government loan guarantee is assembling its first line of cars in Finland, saying it could not find a facility in the United States capable of doing the work. Vice President Joseph Biden heralded the Energy Department's $529 million loan to the start-up electric car company called Fisker as a bright new path to thousands of American manufacturing jobs. But two years after the loan was announced, the job of assembling the flashy electric Fisker Karma sports car has been outsourced to Finland. "There was no contract manufacturer in the U.S. that could actually produce our vehicle," the car company's founder and namesake told ABC News. "They don't exist here." Henrik Fisker said the U.S. money so far has been spent on engineering and design work that stayed in the U.S., not on the 500 manufacturing jobs that went to a rural Finnish firm, Valmet Automotive.

Semper Fi Marine

Today myself and hundreds of Patriot Guards and thousands of citizens will be there to bring Lance Corporal Scott Harper home. Take a moment today to remember him and say a prayer for his family. He is with God and in the presence of angels now. Now is the time for us to stand for him as he stood for us. Semper Fi Marine....

Homeland Security strikes again

Anyone who can decipher what this woman is saying, please forward your notes to homeland Security., I am sure they would be interested in hearing just what they did wrong.

In the mean time just remember, this woman was participating in the Occupy Atlanta rally at the time of this interview. Yep! These folks are just like the Tea Party alright......

Last night's debate, the 999 tax plan and other flights of fancy

A blog by Prime

On the surface, Herman Cain's 999 tax plan sounds fresh and seems like something that should be given a closer look and due consideration by the voters. In my opinion, it probably would be better for everyone if we were to go to this plan or the more extensive plan called the Fair Tax plan. But the chances of that happening are somewhere equal to a snowball's chance in hell in my opinion. The simple fact of the matter is this, aside from the politicians in Washington who stand to lose power, control and influence over the masses should they allow a quantum shift in taxation, these same politicians will never allow their arbitrary and capricious tax code to be tinkered with, much less eliminated and replaced by anything even remotely associated with real balance and fairness.

Combine those facts with the fact that several million accountants, tax attorneys and tax preparation businesses will never stand still for a quantum shift in tax policy and you have all the necessary reasoning for any politician to oppose such a plan. The cacophony of lobbyists voices alone that will rise in opposition against Herman Cain's proposal begins to grow exponentially at the mere hint of any serious consideration of any alternative tax plan. Therefore, 999 simply isn't going to happen in this lifetime. Absent a complete collapse of our society and a complete restructuring of our government and its laws, don't look for our tax code to change anytime soon if ever.

Meanwhile, Herman Cain has stepped into another mine field of controversy with his recent commentaries concerning immigration and his electrified fence proposal. A good idea presented poorly in my observation. And now comes Obama bearing down and taking aim at Cain's 999 proposal, which means that Cain is recognized as an alternative black man at the least and a potential threat to this white house..

Mean while, the media laps up the results of these media initiated dramas and they go right back to their journalist boiler rooms to cook up more logic bombs and more ploys to draw in the easily duped candidates and their target audience. The masses with thirty second or less attention spans are their primary targets. The media continues to play scrappy dog with the GOP for the entertainment ratings and all save one (Newt Gingrich) in the GOP fail to recognize their game. Gingrich knows better than most that the media coverage of politics has absolutely nothing to do with either truth or substance, it all orbits around ratings and angst and drama and what the media can do to act as controllers and spoilers of the debate.

My review of last night's debate, tells me that it appears that Mitt Romney is attempting to apply the 'cour de gras' to the person he considers his only real adversary presently, Rick Perry. It may be perhaps a bit early in the contest, but none the less, Romney senses blood in the water as it concerns Perry and he very well may have scored his Reagan moment against Perry last night with his quip about Perry having and a rough couple of debates lately and Perry being understandably testy as a result.

That moment immediately struck me as the Reagan: "Well there you go again" moment of thirty years ago with Walter Mondale.

As it concerns Herman Cain, Romney knows that Cain (compliments of media spin) is in self destruct mode right now, as he knows that the media are pursuing Cain for him; therefore, Romney isn't focusing on Herman Cain right now. Romney recognizes that the next real challenge to his candidacy is the dark horse Gingrich who is coming up fast on the outside. We are not even at the half way mark of the race or at the first primary yet, so there is plenty of room to move up and down in the polls. None the less, those with staying power and the ability to stay on message and deflect and side step the media traps will be the ones to prevail to the final leg of the nomination process in my opinion.

Right now it is my belief that the race is coming down to Romney and Gingrich as we go into the holidays and the first primaries. And by middle of March we will know who the people have chosen.

Sarah says Newt won

Sarah Palin says Net Gingrich won the debate last night. I have to agree. Newt has 'won' all of the debates to date in my opinion. Sarah Palin also took note that Newt Gingrich would easily beat Obama in any debate. Again I agree whole heartedly.



The bottom line, as Sarah Palin notes, Newt Gingrich has the experience and he stays above the purposeful baiting that the media is inspiring and the others immediately bite on. He won't do it now and he won't do it in any head to head match up with Obama. Newt Gingrich will beat Barack Obama in the debates and he will beat him in the general election and no other candidate is more qualified for the office period.

Closing the Barn door

Closing the barn door? After the cows are gone..........
 Senate Unanimously Passes Amendment Banning Funds for Fast and Furious-Style Programs

The U.S. Senate unanimously voted in favor of an amendment Wednesday that guarantees zero funding for programs that include the transfer of firearms to drug cartels unless law enforcement continuously monitors the weapons "at all times."

The amendment stemmed directly from Operation Fast and Furious, the controversial botched weapons program, and was introduced by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.

So is the barn door really closed now? Well not exactly.  Seems they can't do it again: "unless law enforcement continuously monitors the weapons "at all times."

That will fix everything won't it.  Sure it will......

Obama sides with protestors again

Once again the president has sided with the Occupy Wall Street gang. His latest remarks...... We Are on Their Side'

“The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what you’re supposed to do, is rewarded,” Obama tells ABC News. “And that people who are irresponsible, who are reckless, who don’t feel a sense of obligation to their communities and their companies and their workers that those folks aren’t rewarded.”

This shouldn't really come as any surprise to anyone who has been following this presidency. Barack Obama already sides with our enemies, as he sides with those suing the state of Arizona and other states to force his egalitarian version of immigration, Looking at the above quotations of the man, the most interesting thing to me is this.

President Obama isn't equating irresponsibility or recklessness with the protestors. No, those people are apparently just innocent victims of some oppressive system that he is aiming at taking down. No, the reckless and irresponsible, are those who have failed to surrender their wealth to the collective good. Think back to his campaign and subsequent commentaries since being sworn into office. He has repeatedly said that he believes in wealth re-distribution, yet he repeatedly claims that he isn't a socialist. But look at who he sides with and his assertions aren't born out. . He is always in support of America's enemies and those who are seeking to destroy capitalism in America period.

And by the way mr. President.........we already have a system of rewards for those who demonstrate hard work, responsibility, doing what they’re supposed to do, to be rewarded rewarded. The problem is, this president and his regime purposely have it ass backwards.

A flag comparison

Tea Party vs. Occupy Wall Street

Thieves steal Obama's mojo

 

Thieves steal truck with President's equipment

NBC12 has uncovered one of those stories that makes you think: "How in the world does that happen?!" A truck filled with President Obama's podiums and audio equipment was stolen in Henrico just days before his visit to Chesterfield.

 So.....it looks like thieves stole the president's podium and Presidential seals and telepromters.

The big question left unanswered is how? Seriously, the US Secret Service is supposed to be on top of these things and all over security for presidential visits top to bottom. You would thing that if they are concerned about a UK naval ship in South Africa with it's guns facing the first lady's hotel room, that they would be interesting in insuring that no one came close to any aspect of anything that the president my be in proximity to.

A lesbian couple in California who say their 11-year-old son Tommy who wants to be a girl named Tammy are giving their child hormone blockers that delay the onset of puberty

There are those who continue to maintain that same sex marriages are just the right thing to do. That it is only fair. That all we are doing is conveying basic rights to individuals who are entitled to be treated equally in marriage.

I say? What about the children? In the case above a lesbian couple is purposely interfering with a pubescent teens onset of puberty. Of course they are claiming that their "son" wants to be a girl named Tammy, because he is apparently transgendered. I wonder what the chnces of that happening are.

Certainly there is no correlation between two lesbians raising a male child and that male child upon reaching puberty wanting to become a woman. I mean especially seeing as lesbians appear to have an innate dislike of men. I mean this case must be a simple coincidence and have absolutly noting to do with the parent's sexuality.

Right.........

Stolen Valor

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of whether the Stolen Valor Act should be held constitutional. In other words, should it be a crime for an individual to claim to have been awarded military medals that they never received. The case before the court involves an individual who had claimed to be a retired US Marine Medal of Honor winner. As it turns out, the imposter never even served in the military.

Now the court will decide whether it is a first amendment right to lie. A lower court has previously ruled that lying is a constitutionally protected right under the first amendment and free speech. I sincerely hope that the Supreme Court gets this one right.

Supreme Court to Take Up 'Stolen Valor Act'
The justices said Monday they will consider the validity of the Stolen Valor Act, which passed Congress with overwhelming support in 2006. The federal appeals court in California struck down the law on free speech grounds and another appeals court in Colorado is considering a separate case.

It's over: America must manage its decline

 
Oh really? If this columnist for the Financial Times is to be believed, America is in decline and all that is left to do is accept that fact and attempt to work a deal with our new masters. Really?  Some how this strikes me as one of those "will the last American in Miami please turn off the lights and bring the flag with you when you leave" commentaries.

Who the hell does this jack leg think he is, telling Americans to just accept the British model and roll over and play dead like a nice dog. Kiss my grits Bucko! and speak for yourself. Who the hell told you it was alright to speed up the mad rush to egalitarian surrender and abandonment of our heritage and culture. I think NOT!

America must manage its decline

High quality global journalism requires investment. Please share this article with others using the link below, do not cut & paste the article. 

Recently I met a retired British diplomat who claimed with some pride that he was the man who had invented the phrase, “the management of decline”, to describe the central task of British foreign policy after 1945. “I got criticised,” he said, “but I think it was an accurate description of our task and I think we did it pretty well.”
No modern American diplomat – let alone politician – could ever risk making a similar statement. That is a shame. If America were able openly to acknowledge that its global power is in decline, it would be much easier to have a rational debate about what to do about it. Denial is not a strategy.

He's been to the mountain top!

He''s been to the mountain top! Hell, he's on the mountain top! He's king of the damn mountain. So you anti dream republicans and those opposed to his policies had better listen up. He is preaching straight from the book! Chapter and verse! Quoting the black Moses! He's giving out the marching orders!

An excerpt form a Financial Times article published today.

On Sunday, Mr Obama honoured Martin Luther King at a dedication to a new memorial on National Mall in Washington. Referring to protests that have spread from Wall Street to London, Rome and elsewhere, Mr Obama said: “Dr King would want us to challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonising those who work there.” Mr Obama had previously said the protests “express the frustration” of ordinary Americans with the financial sector.
