Some Frightening Quotes from Obama's Books

I refuse to read Barack Obama's books! When I go to store I can't even stand to look at them sitting on the shelves. I am constantly turning the covers around or putting another book in front of them because if I can prevent even one person from purchasing them it makes me happy.

But I did have a friend who sent me some quotes that he pulled from Audacity of Hope and Dreams of My Father (which he rented from the library!) And while I know we can't change whose in the White House we should constantly remember the core beliefs of the man that we put there.

Probably the scariest of them all, From Audacity of Hope:

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

From Dreams of My Father:

"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

"There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white.

"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

"I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

Health Care Bill Could Face String of Legal Challenges

Organizations and lawmakers opposed to the health care reform package are getting their legal briefs in a bunch, threatening to challenge the constitutionality of the sweeping overhaul should it make its way to President Obama's desk.

Republicans have agreed to allow the Democratic-led Senate to move up the time for a final vote to 8 a.m. Thursday so that lawmakers and their staff can go home for Christmas. But GOP supporters aren't backing down on their threats to put a stop to the legislation using whatever legal means possible.

Two key issues seem to be attracting the bulk of the legal threats: a mandate for individuals to purchase health insurance and the special treatment that states like Nebraska are getting in the bill.

On the first issue, Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., on Tuesday renewed the call to examine the constitutionality of whether the federal government can require Americans to purchase a product.

"I don't believe Congress has the legal or moral authority to force this mandate on its citizens," Ensign said in a statement, raising what's known as a "constitutional point of order." Such procedural challenges are rare and typically lead to a vote.

The non-profit Fund for Personal Liberty, as well as a Virginia-based group called the 10th Amendment Foundation, already have threatened to file suit in federal court over this issue if the health care bill passes.

The Constitution allows Congress to tax, borrow, spend, declare war, raise an army and regulate commerce, among other things. Proponents of the insurance mandate point to the Commerce Clause in arguing that Congress is within its rights to require health insurance and dismiss such potential legal challenges.

But foes say the across-the-board requirement is too broad.

"I personally do not believe the Congress has the authority to enact an individual mandate requiring a person to purchase a product from a private seller," said Kent Masterson Brown, lead counsel with The Fund for Personal Liberty. "I don't think the power is there. This is not regulating anything."

He said his group would be joined by the Washington Legal Foundation in filing suit against the health care bill.

"This thing may be stillborn, even if it passes," he said.

Even though Obama argues that the mandate is similar to laws requiring drivers to obtain auto insurance, opponents cite several key differences. First, the auto insurance mandate is avoidable, since anyone who doesn't want to pay doesn't have to drive. Second, auto insurance is mandated in large part so that drivers carry liability insurance to cover damages to other people and cars -- not themselves. Third, auto insurance regulation occurs at the state level.

When the Congressional Budget Office considered the idea of a health insurance mandate back in 1994 under the Clinton administration, it concluded that the mandate would be "an unprecedented form of federal action." The only congressional mandate close to that was the draft, the CBO concluded.

Ensign cited that finding in his complaint.

Still, the legislation does provide for federal subsidies for those who might have trouble affording insurance coverage, and it provides for exemptions for some individuals.

Other legal objections are emerging in the wake of a concession that Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., won for his state as a condition for his support of the health care bill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid agreed to provide for full and permanent federal aid for Nebraska's expanded Medicaid population. It was only one of a slew of hand-crafted sweetheart deals for those senators who agreed to support the bill.

But the Nelson deal swiftly drew the ire of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who has asked his state's attorney general to give the issue a legal review. He told Fox News on Tuesday that other states can probably bring a "constitutional challenge" over the issue. He said it's unfair for one state to get special treatment while others pick up the tab.

"I don't believe most senators believe this is OK," Graham said. "I think it stinks. I think it's sleazy."

Graham said his state could file an equal rights suit under the Constitution. The Constitution calls for "equal protection" of all citizens.

Likewise, two Republican state representatives from Tennessee on Monday asked their state attorney general to look into the issue -- they called the Medicaid expansion an "unfunded mandate."

Rep. Debra Young Maggart and Rep. Susan Lynn claimed the Nebraska deal was unfair to other states and asked that Attorney General Robert Cooper take "appropriate legal action" against the federal government if the bill becomes law.

"It is clear by the wording of the legislation itself that not every state would face a similar and equal burden," they wrote. "We see this as a violation of equal protection of the law, an affront to our sovereignty, and a breach of the U.S. Constitution."

The non-profit Liberty Legal Institute is poised to assist states that are considering filing suit against the government over the health care bill. The group would not disclose where the suits might come from, but claimed great interest in putting health care reform to the legal test.

"There are a lot of states that are concerned that this violated the 10th Amendment and they are weighing their options," Kelly Shackelford, chief counsel, said in a statement.

The 10th Amendment declares that powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are "reserved" for the states or "the people."

Still another challenge is coming from Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., who on the Senate floor raised concerns about a section in the health care bill that appears to say that the Senate cannot make changes to it in the future.

"It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection," the section says.

DeMint said he found that "particularly troubling."

"We will be passing a new law and at the same time creating a Senate rule that makes it out of order to amend or even repeal the law," DeMint said. "I'm not even sure that it's constitutional."

The overall section the senator referred to applied to the creation of an Independent Medicare Advisory Board.

But a senior Reid aide noted that the language restricting the repeal of the measure only applied to one subsection -- a subsection dealing with the manner in which the proposal for the board is introduced and considered in Congress. The aide said the language DeMint found "troubling" did not apply to board or its duties as a whole.

Plus the aide noted that the language can be waived by a 60-vote majority in the Senate.

"It's really a sign of desperation," the aide said.

White House Escalates War of Words With Fox News

Calling Fox News "a wing of the Republican Party," the Obama administration on Sunday escalated its war of words against the channel, even as observers questioned the wisdom of a White House war on a news organization.

"What I think is fair to say about Fox -- and certainly it's the way we view it -- is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party," said Anita Dunn, White House communications director, on CNN. "They take their talking points, put them on the air; take their opposition research, put them on the air. And that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."

Fox News senior vice president Michael Clemente, who likens the channel to a newspaper with separate sections on straight news and commentary, suggested White House officials were intentionally conflating opinion show hosts like Glenn Beck with news reporters like Major Garrett.

"It's astounding the White House cannot distinguish between news and opinion programming," Clemente said. "It seems self-serving on their part."

In recent weeks, the White House has begun using its government blog to directly attack what it called "Fox lies." David Gergen, who has worked for President Bill Clinton and three Republican presidents, questioned the propriety of the White House declaring war on a news organization.

"It's a very risky strategy. It's not one that I would advocate," Gergen said on CNN. "If you're going to get very personal against the media, you're going to find that the animosities are just going to deepen. And you're going to find that you sort of almost draw viewers and readers to the people you're attacking. You build them up in some ways, you give them stature."

He added: "The press always has the last barrel of ink."

Gergen's sentiments were echoed by Tony Blankley, who once served as press secretary to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

"Going after a news organization, in my experience, is always a loser," Blankley said on CNN. "They have a big audience. And Fox has an audience of not just conservatives -- they've got liberals and moderates who watch too. They've got Obama supporters who are watching. So it's a temptation for a politician, but it needs to be resisted."

Nia Malika Henderson, White House correspondent for the Politico newspaper, also questioned the White House offensive against Fox.

"Obama's only been a boon to their ratings and I don't understand how this kind of escalation of rhetoric and kind of taking them on, one on one, would do anything other than escalate their ratings even more," she said.

Dunn used an appearance on CNN's "Reliable Sources" over the weekend to complain about Fox News' coverage of the Obama presidential campaign a year ago.

"It was a time this country was in two wars," she recalled. "We'd had a financial collapse probably more significant than any financial collapse since the Great Depression. If you were a Fox News viewer in the fall election, what you would have seen would have been that the biggest stories and biggest threats facing America were a guy named Bill Ayers and something called ACORN."

Ayers was co-founder of the Weather Underground, a communist terrorist group that bombed the Pentagon and other buildings in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1995, Ayers hosted Obama at his home for a political function and the two men later served together on the board of an anti-poverty group known as the Woods Fund.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), which once had close ties to Obama, has been accused by a variety of law enforcement agencies of voter fraud. In recent weeks, the Democrat-controlled Congress moved to sever funding to ACORN after Fox News aired undercover videotapes of ACORN employees giving advice on how to break the law to a pair of journalists disguised as a pimp and prostitute.

As for Dunn's complaint about Fox News' coverage of the Obama campaign, a study by the Pew Research Center showed that 40 percent of Fox News stories on Obama in the last six weeks of the campaign were negative. Similarly, 40 percent of Fox News' stories on Obama's Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, were negative.

On CNN, by contrast, there was a 22-point disparity in the percentage of negative stories on Obama (39 percent) and McCain (61 percent). The disparity was even greater at MSNBC, according to Pew, where just 14 percent of Obama stories were negative, compared to a whopping 73 percent of McCain stories -- a spread of 59 points.

Although Dunn accused Fox News of being a "wing of the Republican Party," she said the
network does not champion conservatism.

"It's not ideological," she acknowledged. "I mean, obviously, there are many commentators who are conservative, liberal, centrist -- and everybody understands that."

Still, Obama refused to appear on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace on Sept. 20, the day he appeared on five other Sunday shows. At the time, the White House characterized the snub as payback for the Fox Broadcast Network's decision not to air an Obama prime time appearance. But last weekend, Dunn blamed Fox News Channel's coverage of the administration for Obama's snub of Fox News Sunday.

"Is this why he did not appear?" Dunn said. "The answer is yes."
Wallace has called White House officials "the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington."

Dunn was asked by CNN's Howard Kurtz whether Obama would grant an interview to Fox News by the end of the year.

"Obviously, he'll go on Fox, because he engages with ideological opponents and he has done that before, he will do it again," Dunn replied. "I can't give you a date, because frankly I can't give you dates for anybody else right now."

But last week, Fox News was informed by the White House that Obama would grant no interviews to the channel until at least 2010. The edict was relayed to Fox News by a White House official after Dunn discussed the channel at a meeting with presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs and other Obama advisers.

"What I will say is that when he (Obama) goes on Fox, he understands he's not going on it really as a news network, at this point," Dunn said on CNN. "He's going on to debate the opposition. And that's fine. He never minds doing that."

Dunn also strongly implied that Fox had failed to follow up on a New York Times story about a scandal swirling around GOP Sen. John Ensign of Nevada, although Fox News broadcast the stories on numerous shows, including Special Report with Bret Baier.

Clemente questioned the motives of the White House attack, which comes in the wake of an informal coffee last month between Fox chairman Roger Ailes and Obama adviser David Axelrod.

"Instead of governing, the White House continues to be in campaign mode, and Fox News is the target of their attack mentality," he said. "Perhaps the energy would be better spent on the critical issues that voters are worried about."

Blankley suggested the war on Fox News is unpresidential.

"It lowers the prestige," he said. "If you're president or speaker, at a certain level, you don't want to be seen to be engaging that kind of petty bickering. If you're just a congressman, maybe you can do it."

In an interview over the summer, Obama made clear that Fox News has gotten under his skin.
"I've got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration," he told CNBC's John Harwood. "You'd be hard pressed if you watched the entire day to find a positive story about me on that front."

At the White House Correspondents Dinner in May, Obama even mocked the media for supporting him.

"Most of you covered me; all of you voted for me," Obama said, spurring laughter and applause from the assembled journalists. "Apologies to the Fox table."

Gergen said the White House should delegate its attacks to outside support groups.

"Why don't they take this over to the DNC, over to the Democratic National Committee, and have their struggles like that fought out over there and not out of the White House?" Gergen
said. "I have real questions about that strategy."

A YouTube Video Makes Me Question College Classes

In college I took my share of Socialist...I mean Sociology Classes. I didn't realize really until now though how anti-capitalistic some of those classes were.

Kind of sad that even with as educated as I've become I was still under the impression that my education was relatively socialism free. I remember thinking it was a treat when my Sociology Class screened Roger and Me, a Michael Moore film. And I remember thinking, I'm going to take this with a grain of salt, since I already knew that Michael Moore films weren't really the most unbiased documentaries. Even when my super-Obama-loving documentary film class Professor refused to show Michael Moore films, I didn't realize just how corrupt his movies are. It took a comedian's YouTube video for me to realize something interesting about Moore's films and in the bigger picture...my college experience.



If you had a chance to watch the video above you heard the "interviewer" ask "Michael Moore" why he choose not to include the interview with "Roger" in Roger and Me. If you haven't been "fortunate" enough to see Roger and Me let me fill you in. Basically, Michael Moore spends the entire documentary trying to get an interview with then GM CEO, Roger Smith, who had closed several plants in Flint, Michigan, which "devastated" the city economically. Well, since the whole premise was based on the the fact that Moore couldn't get an interview with the big bad corporation, you would think this movie would be totally discredited and ignored when you find out that he actually did get the interview.

But I NEVER heard that from any of my liberal college professors in all of the 3 classes where that film was shown. They failed to mention, discuss or analyze the film with that information. This film has been shown to hundreds of students year after year in every Intro to Sociology class at my college at least. How many of them have heard the truth? I emailed an old friend of mine from college who was a sociology major to see if she ever heard about this. I've yet to hear back from her. (But she bathed in the kool-aid right after we graduated so I don't know if its that shes ignoring me, the message or just busy.)

Moving on...There was one class in specific that I remember watching this film in, American Contemporary Society. I hated that class with all the fiber of my being. There was always something very disturbing and annoying about class and now I realize that we spent an entire semester focusing on anti-capitalist topics.

We spent an extra long time on one topic in particular; the "Great American Streetcar Disaster". We spent weeks talking about the big bad car companies that bought out all the streetcar companies and destroyed them by creating a monopoly that has ruined our worlds environment and devastated the infrastructure for future America.

Of course I wiki-ed this topic to see if I could remember more about it and this is the article that appeared: Great American Streetcar Scandal
The Great American streetcar scandal (also known as the General Motors streetcar conspiracy and the National City Lines conspiracy) is a conspiracy in which streetcar in the United States were dismantled and replaced with buses in the mid-20th century as a result of illegal actions by a number of prominent companies, acting through National City Lines (NCL), Pacific City Lines (on the West Coast, starting in 1938), and American City Lines (in large cities, starting in 1943).

Now, I was amazed at first to think maybe I was wrong. Maybe this wasn't some anti-capitalism, anti-corporation Professor skewing her class in the direction she wanted. But upon close inspection of the wiki article I notices something else. A closer look at the page reveals a disclaimer :
The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (August 2009)

It is just hysterical to me that I was almost fooled again! Neutrality, such a simple word and yet it is so often ignored. This was for me a lesson to be a little more careful about what I'm reading, hearing and taking in. During college I was obviously being informed and attempted to be molded by the professor that I had, but now, in the real world there are just as many liberal influences that we need to wary of.

I've spent a lot of time talking about the influences of left-leaning ideals in schools across the country, but I'm only just now realizing that simply because we've left the halls of our alma maters doesn't mean that we are free from misinformation and left-leaning biases. We must always be vigilant about the neutrality of even the most seemingly benign sources.

Chick Chat: Chicago Rejected. Are Obama's magical powers & savior streangth super magnetism wear off internationally?

Since most of our society focuses on social events as major and monumental news so will I. The 2016 Olympics has gone to Rio!!! How exciting that for the first time a South American country is being visited by the Olympic flame. I am truly excited for them and was rooting the whole time for thier victory.

NOW. Chicago, tisk tisk, 4th out of 4! What does that really say about the shenanigans of Chicago politics and the American's display. Despite the revered Double O's, Obamas and Oprah, visit to Copenhagen, Chicago was eliminated the very FIRST ROUND!!! That's pitiful, but I am almost happy that this happened. Did I hear a why in between the outcries of racist and terrorist?

Well, here is why. The world has for a long time hated the arrogance of the United States and Obama has made sure to apologize for that (and Bush) every time he has had the opportunity. Obama claimed to be the change that the world wanted. He thought he was going to be this big unifier that was going to save the economy, health care, make peace with Iran, fix immigration, fix whatever it is was wrong with the country and ultimately the world. Funny, how in the few short months of his presidency the world has started to see what a large percentage of Americans have been fighting against for months. A lying piece of a...rrogance that has swindled his way into a position of power!

They, aka the world, are loosing respect for him!! The Middle East is walking all over him with the nuclear plants, France is having to reprimand his actions and now he is not even getting any special treatment with the IOC. His presence wasn't even a drop in the Olympic size swimming pool.

Obama's political capital is dwindling faster than this countries liberties. So while Obama waltzed into Copenhagen expecting it to close the deal, his brief stay, his arrogant confidence was probably a factor in the U.S' lost bid. Even "former IOC member Kai Holm said that the brevity of his appearance may have counted against him. The short stopover was 'too business-like,' Holm said. 'It can be that some IOC members see it as a lack of respect.'" And while Obama once called for 'A New World Order' while in Europe, I hope, for this country and the worlds, that this is a small signal of the response he would get with a statement like that now.

An Interesting Way of Looking At It

With the world today this little comparison seems more and more realistic as the days pass. Why is it that liberal demand that everyone live by what they see as right or just? Conservatives just want to be left alone! Let each man and woman make their own decision, why are we constantly having to force their views down our throats in these massive horse pills?

Although, I do have to say that I'm grateful that America seems to have begun to wake up and realize whats going on around them. The sleeping giant's awakened.

..........................................................................................................................................................

If a conservative doesn't like guns, they don't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, then no one should have one.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don't eat meat. If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly lives his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he loudly demands legislated respect.

If a black man or Hispanic is conservative,he sees himself as independently successful. His liberal counterpart sees himself as a victim in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal wants all churches to be silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his.

Arguing with Idiots Out in Stores Tommorrow

On the eve of the release of Glenn Beck's New Book Arguing with Idiots there is a decent backlash against the popular news commentator and corruption ouster's latest libro.

I will not be posting links to those who are calling this book "a desperate move by a desperate man" or claiming "He is desperately doing everything to rebrand his challengers as idiots." But I will laugh at the pitiful attempts to turn this title around. Obviously, I have not read the book yet, but do plan on doing so asap.

I have watched and listen to enough Beck to know that he is not trying to categorize the entire left-wing-obama-supporters as idiots. From my understanding he is merely giving us the tools, proof and sources we need to defend ourselves against the on slaughter of liberal bias and those being informed by the less-than-honorable-sources. I am looking forward to reading this book!!

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a 'Nazi.' He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a 'doughnut eating Gestapo.' He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote. Personally, I didn't care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, 'Obama in '08 .' I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important to my health.

San Diego ACORN Scandal

House Votes to Defund ACORN

WASHINGTON — The House has voted to deny all federal funding for ACORN, the community organizing group that has been caught up in several scandals.

The House action came several days after the Senate took a similar vote to block the Housing and Urban Development Department from giving grants to ACORN.

Republicans, long critics of the liberal-leaning group that advocates for the poor, led the effort to cut off all federal funds.

California Republican Darrell Issa, who sponsored the measure in the House, says the "scandal surrounding the criminal activities of ACORN have called into question their role in all aspects of government."

The vote, on a provision attached to a student aid bill, was 345-75. All 75 no votes were Democrats.

Lets see now, according to reports, ACORN has received (more than) $53 million dollars since 1994. That's $53 million in 16 years...hmm lets do that math...cal-cu-la-ting...that's approx 3.4 million dollars a year.

Nice! Right off the bat let's put a little doubt on the validity of these videos...clever clever.

"Acorn has suspended or fired all workers involved except the San Bernandino woman who said she was playing along...but conservatives are having a field day"
Well those damn conservatives! How dare they demand more answers. We've already brushed all the crazies off, what else to they want, actually accountabilty??

"Political Analyst say this is largely driven by conservatives longstanding distaste for ACORN."
Who are these political analyst? The ivy league interns you have sitting in the back room clicking away on Google? I remember college, we analyzed plenty of things.

(BEST FOR LAST ha!)

"Welcome back, the GOP is ramping up their campaign against the anti-poverty group ACORN...."
Awwww, who wants to go against some organization that is fighting poverty! Those terrible Republicans! Why won't they leave these poor people alone! I mean they fired the crazy people, well except for the San Bernandino lady who was playing along with the hidden cameras, she's cool.

After saying that the census cut ties and Senate cut housing funds, he goes on to say "but that is not enough for Republicans, they don't want the group to get any kind of federal funding.
Gasp!! You mean, NO federal funding for this amazing, totally legitimate, "anti-poverty" squeeky clean group of good Samaritans! NEVER! Bad GOP!

" I know whats going on here, the conservatives just don't want ACORN to be a part of anything. Where was their outrage when Halliburton was overcharging the government and electrocuting American soldiers?"
Well, we're here now and of course we wouldn't want ACORN to be a part of anything. What is this guy smoking? There are now videos from several different offices that promote child prostitution, illegal sex trade, tax evasion, to name a few, do you want your taxes going to fund them?

"Now thats no excuse for ACORN problems, I'm not here to defend them, they need to fix thier problems fast, but REPUBLICANS are trying to broad brush this and its not that simple."
Actually it is that simple. ACORN needs to be investigated by an outside sources who is willing to get deep into the dirt of the dirt of the dirt of ACORN. Did I mention there would be a lot of dirt?

{to CEO}"Do you run an honest organization? Because the Conservatives out there are saying that everything about ACORN is dishonest?"
"Well first off, just because you repeat a lie, over and over again, doesn't make it true."
Did that count for Mickey Mouse's registration to vote? Here is something truthful for you CEO-boss-lady, just because you deny something over and over again doesn't make it go away.

"We've been running this organizing since 40 years."
Hehe, am I allowed to laugh at your poor grammar skills or is that racist?

{to CEO}"What do you say about the video tapes?"
Well first of all, for Fox and the Right Wing to have to stoop to a made up scenario is one thing, but! as you know and as I've said over and over again, those people were reprehensible...blah blah."
Gasp! How dare anyone try and uncover the truth behind a liberal organization. Damn those new mediums that show these completely fabricated, totally staged videos...oh and we fired those reprehensible people that they doctored.

"Let me say one thing, not one shred of paper kicked in because our quality control does kick in."
So you see, we aren't responsible for anything that is undocumented. We're totally guiltless and ignorant about what our employees are telling the public.

{to CEO} "...this is why I'm doing this story because a U.S. Senator has gone on record saying your whole organization is corrupt."
"Listen, this goes, waaay back, all the way back to the Bush Administration, a couple weeks ago we saw Karl Roves emails specifically targeting us and then firing U.S. attorney's because they wouldn't combat and do a political conviction against us."
Let me show you how these people made up these lies. Watch its easy! Not working? Ok well, its the Bush administrations fault that we were flagged earlier, we thought we were going to get away with it now because we have a brother in the House but,...oh wait, was that racist??

"We compete for those dollars, we're effective, and were just the target of this right wing republican attempt..."
Compete by seeing who can come up with the most creative fake name for voter registrations? No no, must be who can come up with the most names for the fake voter registrations.
Oh and can I mention that there were only 7 Democrats and 0 Republicans that voted to have you keep your money. But it's all the Republican's doing. Like we could pass anything w/o Dem support in this off balance government.

Do you have a ....Race Card? Nope. Go Fish.

Jimmy Carter: Wilson comments 'based on racism'

Riiiiight Jimmy Carter and you were the greatest American President EVER!

It is so ridiculous to yet again pull out the race card. Every time you disagree with this administration, Obama or his policies you get called a racist! How much time will pass before they realize that these accusation only make them look like foolish school children.

There is such a double standard in Washington today. If you speak out against the liberals you're vilified on all fronts, but if you are a liberal who smears a conservative (like Reid calling Bush a liar) you aren't responsible for anything. Then again, we've learned that Washington doesn't think they are responsible to anyone except to their cronies.

The Georgia Democrat said the outburst was a part of a disturbing trend directed at the president that has included demonstrators equating Obama to Nazi leaders.

I find it comical that he is so "disturbed" by the fact that their have been similarities pointed out between Obama and Nazi Germany. I personally am more disturbed by the actual similarities than by the people pointing them out. Regardless, shouldn't you look at the facts and make your own judgements instead of throwing everything into the racist basket. For now we still have the right to think, process, analysis, research and share opinions and facts.

"The president is not only the head of government, he is the head of state," he said. "And no matter who he is or how much we disagree with his policies, the president should be treated with respect."

This is possibly the most hysterical part of Carter's statements. Since when did the liberals give Bush ANY respect while he was president. During his state of the union address in 2005 the Democrat's booed our President, is that RESPECT???



Bush was called a liar, teased and bullied by media and left wing fanatics but I never heard of Carter speaking out against those people. Just because Obama is black does not make it a racial issue every time someone disagrees. And well, again, it is a totaly double standard that the things that apply to the liberals do not apply to the conservatives.

Handling Presentation Trust

Now it seems that the White House has FINALLY released the statement that Obama is going to give the children of America. It doesn't seem to have anything fishy in the content, but that doesn't make the way they handled the whole situation, the study guide that was presented beforehand or the trust that the public has in the President any better.

So ready for Happy Obama Speech Day! Oh wait, that's everyday! He is too narcissistic to stay off your TV screen, moving on....

In the teachers guide, there were major issues with the way the questions were phrased. There were totally one sided and a little bit like the 'I Pledge' video. i.e. writing letter to themselves about how they can help Obama. Now that was eventually changed but I have to ask how many little mix ups does it take for an administration to be seriously questioned. They didn't think this through to begin with because this could have been completely avoided if they had just given the public what they asked for, a preview.

This whole uproar was also very telling about the general public's trust in our President. When Bush addressed students in 1991 the big issue was the financial cost of the speech. In this case, it was much more fundamentally based, more about the content and purpose than the economic retributions. Which I might add should be just as controversial as the they were in the 1991! Just because he has released his speech doesn't retract the fact that he is spending tons of money in a time when resources should be limited.

Here is the speech that the President is giving the students: (I haven't had time to read the whole thing yet ha! I wanna see a pre-k student sit through this doozy!)

The President: Hello everyone - how's everybody doing today? I'm here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I'm glad you all could join us today.

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still Summer, and you could've stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.

I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday - at 4:30 in the morning.

Now I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster."

So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.

Now I've given a lot of speeches about education. And I've talked a lot about responsibility.

I've talked about your teachers' responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.

I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.

I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working where students aren't getting the opportunities they deserve.

But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world - and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.

And that's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.

Every single one of you has something you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.

Maybe you could be a good writer - maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper - but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor - maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine - but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.

And no matter what you want to do with your life - I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.

And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.

You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.

We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that - if you quit on school - you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.

Now I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.

I get it. I know what that's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn't fit in.

So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been. I did some things I'm not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.

But I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have much. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.

Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job, and there's not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.

But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life - what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home - that's no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That's no excuse for not trying.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.

That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.

Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school. Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either. But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr. Jazmin Perez.

I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer - hundreds of extra hours - to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and he's headed to college this fall.

And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods, she managed to get a job at a local health center; start a program to keep young people out of gangs; and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.

Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren't any different from any of you. They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.

That's why today, I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education - and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book. Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope you'll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.

Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.

I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you're not going to be any of those things.

But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject you study. You won't click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.

That's OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures define you - you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. If you get in trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave. If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.

No one's born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work. You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got to practice. It's the same with your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and to learn something new. So find an adult you trust - a parent, grandparent or teacher; a coach or counselor - and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.

And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you - don't ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.

It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.

So today, I want to ask you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country?

Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you've got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down - don't let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

I would be getting mega-punished if I was a student in Broward County because there is no way I would be going to school tomorrow. Then I would sue for being forced to do something. For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, the most liberal county in Fla has made Obama's speech mandatory. The superintendent, James Notter (super Obama supporter!) said that it was a key portion of thier civic duty education.

So our young minds are learning civic duty from Obama...what is it they say, a picture says a thousand words...

I wonder what kind of lawsuit can be filed? I would like to know how this differs from, for example, disceting a frog? For what I know if you have some sort of issue with dissections there are generally other options to fufill the requirement. Why not in this case?

Here is the section of the Sun Sentinal article that talks about Broward County's superintedents choice to force students to watch Obama's speech:

In Broward County, students in the public schools won't have a choice.

Broward Schools Superintendent James Notter wrote in a memo to principals Thursday that students will not be allowed to opt out of viewing Obama's address. The district has encouraged civics education through programs such as Kids Voting Broward and by watching presidential inaugural addresses, Notter wrote, so letting students skip Obama's speech "does not align with our practices and responsibility to provide a well-rounded, quality education for all students."

That doesn't mean all school activities will cease during Obama's talk. Notter said schools can record the address and watch it later if the broadcast time conflicts with previously scheduled tests, field trips or other events.

In his opinion, Notter said in an interview, having childen listen to the country's elected leader "is some of the purest of civics education." Letting them choose whether to not to attend would set a bad precedent, Notter said. He compared it to students who might object to saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

"You don't get to go out into the hall," Notter said. "You're there and you're silent."

In Broward County, some parents who disagree with Obama's politics are threatening to keep their children home Tuesday if schools won't schedule an alternative noontime activity.

"I believe as a parent that I am the one who should teach my child about personal responsibility and life goals," one parent wrote in an e-mail to the Broward School Board. "I do not agree with any of President Obama's views and policies so I would appreciate if my child did not participate."

Some parents also took exception to the U.S. Department of Education's suggested list of questions for teachers to their students about the speech. Included in the guide for seventh- through 12th-grade students are the questions "How will [Obama] inspire us?" and "How will he challenge us?"

Obama's speech will not mark the first time a U.S. president has directly addressed the nation's schoolchildren. In 1989, President George H.W. Bush gave a 15-minute speech to students focusing on the evils of drug use, then another in October 1991 that urged students to study hard and stay away from drugs.

House Democrats criticized Bush for the 1991 speech and accused the U.S. Department of Education of providing free political advertising to Bush, who was gearing up for his re-election bid the following year.

Chick Chat: Truth will set you free right?

Every once in a while I can't help but feel discouraged with the direction this country is going. I spend most of my free time researching, reading, writing about these major issues going on and yet I still feel completely helpless. Even going to the protests and the meetings, I still feel helpless. Every couple of weeks I start watching the news and see the spending and the socialism creeping up and I feel like I am swimming against the current and going absolutely no where. Because this isn’t about health care or spending, it’s about dependency, control and accepting all those things that are morally repugnant.

I never thought I would say this, but I can sympathies with the liberals who truly hated Bush. They would look at this and say stop whining because we had to put up with your idiot for 8 years. My problem is that I often wonder if we would survive another 4/8 years of this. I know Bush made mistakes during his presidency but I at least felt safe. Safe from foreign attacks, safe from our government and safe to speak out. I don't always feel so safe speaking out.

People in my family joke that we are all going to be thrown in a family cell one day because we are all so outspoken about our viewpoints. I'm starting to think its not that funny anymore. I don't know what will happen a few years down the road and the more research that I do, the less I feel I know.

I write this because I hope that there are more out there like me. I can't imagine I'm the only one that is tired of being on the wrong side of what is popular, what is easy, what is wealthy, what is powerful.

I take that back, the truth is powerful. "Truth will set you free" right? But where is the truth now? Is it being hidden?

Truth...Come out, come out, wherever you are!!

I just hope that the truth can overcome the layers and layers of bureaucracy and corruption. I’m not particularly religious person, but tonight I'll say an extra prayer for America.

I pray that we are given the strength to search for the truth. I pray that we are given the strength to spread the truth we uncover. I pray that we are given the strength to live by the principles of the truth we seek. I pray that those who need to hear the truth give us their attention. I pray that He doesn’t abandon America as we face our greatest threat yet. I pray that He hasn’t abandoned us already in our progressive secularization.I pray that we are given His guidance as we continue the ideological battle in which we are embroiled. I pray for His blessings.

Chick Chat: ObamaCare Yay Or Nay? The Truth About Canada!

Comedian Steve Crowder goes undercover as a Canadian in need of some health care. Telling and funny at the same time

Click here for Steve Crowder's site





While this videos logic is a little flawed it does make some good point.

Yes you wait a long time in the U.S. when you go into the emergency room BUT you can go to places like the minute clinic or an urgent care facility.

Last year I was visiting my cousin in Memphis when her 2 year old son started suffering from a really bad cold. He was holding his ear a lot and so we decided to take him to the minute clinic instead of the doctor/hospital. It took about 25-30 minutes from start to finish at the minute clinic and the cost was minimal.

Most private insurance plans cover urgent care facilities, but even if you have to pay, the cost is much more reasonable than $900 just to see a doctor.

This past April I went outside to walk my dog when I tripped and fell. I've never been in so much pain in my life. We had to call fire rescue to come help me to the car because I had hurt BOTH ankles. Although I was perfectly convinced they were broken rescue said they were probably sprains and recommended that I go to an urgent care facility near my house. When I arrived at urgent care I was in the waiting room for approx. 15 minutes before I was taken in, x-rayed and seen by a doctor all in the next hour and a half. The problem with Obamacare is that these private options will become obsolete because of high taxes and government regulations.

An issue with this video is that it seems like he is comparing US and Canadian emergency rooms. BUT in reality the other places he visits are clinics where he is trying to do a simple blood test. It is in those locations that he learns that there are 2-3 year waits to get a family doctor.

Obama can say you won't have to change your doctor all he want, but the evidence is that a government option will kill private business, leading to the bad health care, long wait times and the care rationing we see in this video. There is no way to compete when the government can print money & raise taxes all they want.

It is also a gross misrepresentation that this is going to be an OPTION. If you do not have health care, you will be forced onto the public plan. If you loose you health care with your employer, you go on the public plan. So you can keep your doctor, keep your insurance as long as your company provides the insurance. Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers.

Some argue it is an option because you will "buy either the public or one of the private plans through the new exchange (like a stock exchange)". Others argue that the bill doesn't explicitly state that you will be forced onto a plan.

Well, that is just fine but what if you don't want health care? What I have been able to sift through is telling me that if you are eligible for Medicaid you are indeed forced onto the public option. (Sec 205) pg 102. Now who set regulations for Medicaid?

Also, companies are basically forced to provided health care either through private or public insurers. They are required to auto enroll individuals unless said individual affirmatively opts out. Employers who refuse to offer health insurance will be taxed 2 - 8% on their payroll. And people who do not have or buy “acceptable coverage” (per government definition) must pay 2.5% of their income to the government (Sec. 401)

So the truth is that you will be forced onto health care one way or another. That is their goal, government control!

Now remember, everyone will pay for this with major tax increase. As I talked about in another post, in HR 3200 on pg. 198 it says that funds for the new program will come from Medicare. It ALSO says that "taxes will automatically increase if saving is not achieved". Now, since Medicare is basically broke (admitted by Obama himself) this provision will go into effect. We will be facing a 600 billion tax increase, all hidden in this bill.

Speaking out against this doesn't make me hateful or racist. I agree we need reform, but not a complete overhaul of the best system in the world. While many other socialized health care systems are moving away from it, we are flying blindly towards it. It is a liberal lie to say we need to join the rest of the world with the our health care system. We have some of the best health care in the world and what we need is TORT reform. Insurance reform. not care reform.

Chick Chat: Loosing Sight

Okay so, lets play a game. I'm going to present a scenario and then you are going to answer the question at the end...

• Wealthy family of four just built a several million dollar home in S. Florida sans eco friendly features. They like to travel to their vacation house in the Florida Keys (also new), hunting lodge (also new) in the mid-west, land/small cabin in Alaska and a trailer in rural Florida. The husband and children are regular hunters in their vacation homes. Regular fishermen in their Florida homes. If they are staying at a hotel don't ask them to use the same towel two days in a row. They've take several trips to safari hunts in Africa. The husband drives to work in his Hummer and the mother is a stay-at-home mom. The mother spends her day cooking, cleaning and driving her kids to their extremely elite private school in her Mercedes SUV. The mother serves her husband first, catering to his and her children every need but don't ask for leftovers because she throws them out.
  

Now is this family conservative or liberal??

Are they elitist Republicans who need to be brought down a notch or two? Are their houses, cars, boats, etc eco-friendly or gas guzzlers? Are they anti- or pro-gun rights? Does the mother exhibit feminist ideals or is she embracing traditional gender roles?

What do you think? Conservatives? Liberals? Conservatives? Liberals?

Obviously this is a snip-it of their lives but don't they sound a stereotypical wealthy, gun-totting, elitist Republican family.

So, what if I told you that the husbands a lawyer? What if I told you that she believed that when people get hurt because of personal irresponsibility, they are within their full right to sue? What if they forced their teenage niece to go on birth control?

What if I told you that they were friends with Joe Biden and his "lovely" family?

I think you probably know the answer now. This family is indeed liberal. Not just a little liberal too, they are extremely to the left. But what I find so comical is that they don't live their lives adhering to the many "principles" that the left clings too.

They hunt. They aren't eco-friendly. They don't let the young women in their own family have a choice about their bodies. They cling to the image of the 1950's housewife fiercely.

So question, why are they liberal?

Here is an idea, how about the circles they run in, the bank account they use, affords them that ability.

If you remember back to my Chick Chat: Party of Control I discussed how the Dem party has become just as elitist as the Republican's are labeled to be. I talked about how the wealthy can afford to be idealistic.

Well, this just is another example of how wealth give you the ability to be so idealist that you think you can take care of everyone. This family is not a bad family. They are friends and they are good people. But they are so blinded by idealism that they don't see what is around them. They don't see people who are unable to survive a tax increase. They don't see that fundamental change is not what the American people need or want.

I may kick myself a few years from now, but I hope I never have so much money that I loose sight of the America's face, can't hear the beat of America's heart or forget taste of American freedom.

Glenn Beck's The New Republic: America's Future 8/25 (updated)

Beck is doing a series this week called, The New Republic: America's Future. He will ask the hard questions and talk about the things that no one is talking about. He makes sure to point out that "this show is an opinion show."

Parrallels betweent he way this netwrork and ACORN and SEIU operates. Van Jones was a founding members of STORM.

• STORM on 9/11, Reclaiming Revolution, pg 47, "The Vigil was to be an expression of solidarity with Arab- and Muslim Americans and of morning for the dead in New York and Washington DC as well as the victims of the US imperialism about the world. The vigil, held in Oakland's snow park,drew hundreds of people. There STORM members articulated a strong anti0imperialist line that resonated with everyday people there."

• STORM on MAO, Reclaiming Revolution, pg 51, "Storm was never formally a 'marxist-leninist' oranization, and we never has a systematic marzist theoretical framework. But we did have a poliical commitment to the fundamental ideas of marxism-leninism. We upheld the marxist critique of capitalist explotaiton, We agree with Lenin's analysis of the state and party and we found inspiration and guidance int eh insurgent revolutionary stategies developed by third world revolutionries like Mao Tse-Tung and Amilcar Cabral."
