“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
So begins the Declaration of Independence that our forefathers saw fit to document in their struggle to remain free .. which meant fleeing England then fighting them on the new shore to retain that freedom… declaring their right to do so in this prologue to the Declaration…. declaring their right to freedom in the Declaration itself.
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
It is our duty and our privilege to preserve what these documents stand for so that the generations following will be able to enjoy the freedoms we do and that the lives that were given for these freedoms will never have been given in vain.
Today our vigilance is called upon more than ever .. as strongly as it was called upon for those forefathers who founded this great nation of ours… for we live in a time where reason and common sense seem to have become entangled in a maze of mindboggling silliness that we find hard to untangle ourselves from… but.. it is imperative we do that… and it is our duty to our country and its future generations to stay untangled .. and remain grounded by common sense and reason.
Should any president ever talk of ’the other side’? Are we not all Americans with opinions to be valued?
Apparently this president does not think so. He just dismisses those who have another opinion .. discounts them completely… or perhaps belittles them to the point of attempting to make them look like complete fools. Of course .. he doesn’t succeed. His recent attempt was to dismiss Glen Beck by simply just ignoring the rally in Washington.
In this same interview with Brian Williams … he “bristled” when asked if the oil spill was his Katrina.
“It’s just not accurate,” he told Williams. “The only thing in common with the Katrina response was [oil spill incident commander] Thad Allen… We had immediately [deployed] thousands of vessels, tens of thousands of people.”
Might it have something to do with Obama owing BP? just wondering just wondering … but .. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm… that might not be such a bed thing… keep Obama in line a bit with the oil we do so sorely need?
Of course .. it does not help those being turned away .. and yet .. they could be legitimate false claims too…. people are known to do such things. It is all so muddied when an Obama appointed head is at play. To trust or not to trust … that seems to be the question .. and that is sad.
Those with real claims will hopefully prevail.
And in the meantime .. from the Rose Garden .. comes remarks from Obama that are remarkable in the fact that there isn’t even a question in Obama’s mind that maybe .. just maybe … some of what we are all going through in this country right now …. just might have something to do with decisions made by him …. that maybe it really is a saving factor that some of his mad spending bills have been stopped.
Senator Bright (D-AL) … when asked whether or not he would back Nancy Pelosi … responded by giving examples of things that could happen in which he would not then have to worry about whether to vote for her or not. One was Pelosi may get sick and die before then. The press tried to make this a big deal. It was just a statement that reflected what in reality might happen … to any of us. What was more important about the incident was he refused to say he would vote for her.
There is hope for this country yet.
The flak the press has given over Alan Simpson’s statement in an email about Social Security it absolutely ridiculous. What he said is most likely true .. just as is most likely true about any government run program where money being given out is in play. There are always those who will learn to “milk the system” .. whether anyone wants to admit it or not.
Think Obama is like those who … when under pressure .. escape to eating .. or drinking .. or smoking .. or whatever .. only he escapes period?
Some leader.
And now eggs become a rare commodity .. as the government keeps the pressure on there… and more and more stores taking eggs off the market for fear of being sued by some consumer seeing an easy dollar to be made.
And Obama vacations on Martha’s Vineyards.
What about those eggs? What about Iraq? What about this lack of work for so many many many Americans? What about the housing market? What about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their loan procedures? Are they still giving houses away? What about all those banks being closed? What about the ownership the government has of General Motors and Chrysler? What about that moratorium on oil drilling and all the jobs taken away with it? What about the control of What about the government’s hand in the oceans and waterways and jobs being taken away there? What about Afghanistan? What about the Iman of the mosque to be built at Ground Zero?
What a shame that the person sitting in our Oval Office does not think one kind thing of America as we know and love it.
Among all he has done to “fix” us … he spent a good time of his first months in office apologizing to the world for us.
Now he is doing it again.
The United States has never recognized the United Nations Human Rights Council because of its criticism of Israel and its membership of repressive regimes.
We are just getting beyond the Gulf oil spill that the government on one hand tried to cause hyteria over while on the other was saying ‘come on down….the water’s fine”.
Now comes the lowly egg.
Who ever decided to pick on the egg?
The beyond massive egg recall has to be a joke .. it just has to be. Who in the world could even suggest such a recall? Everyone knows all you must do to make sure an egg is OK is to COOK it.
Now we have businesses who will not serve an egg for fear of getting sued by someone who says they have a stomach ache from an egg they served them. Don’t believe me? Try getting an egg sandwich from Starbuck’s.
We have an unknown number of egg producers … and their chickens .. put on hold … never mind how many employees sent home … similar to the thousands of employees sent home because of the completely needless moratorium put on oil drilling.
We do have a right to be objecting to the mosque being built next to Ground Zero. Three thousand American lives give us that right. Now is shown it is the Imam of that mosque that gives our reason to object added ground … as if 3000 lives weren’t enough.
Without knowing anything about the Muslim religion … without knowing anything about the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf .. who is the prayer leader of this mosque … the objection is justified. It was …after all … Muslim terrorists who were responsible for attacking us and killing those 3000 Americans.
Nothing more should be needed to be said. It is simple common sense and reason to object … and it has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with respect.
Now comes the new revelation of the Imam of this mosque … brought to the public eye by Pamela Gellar at Atlas Shrugs and the reasons for objecting rise a thousand fold. He is not a friend of the America we know and love. He would more likely be a friend of the radical preacher Jeremiah Wright who Obama sat and listened to for 20 years.
We all have reason to object .. and especially those New Yorkers who lived the terror of 9/11 .. put there at the hands of Muslim terrorists.
What more needs to be said .. other than this is the same guy for whom our tax dollars are being used .. future tax dollars as we are broke as broke can be … to send him on ‘goodwill religious tolerance’ trips to the mideast?
Do you object?
There is something we should all become aware of .. and that is the goal of the Muslim world. It is directed from the Qur’an … and if a Muslim professes to be a true Muslim … would he not be obligated to follow those directives?
If you study the Qur’an even just a little .. you can quickly find where any Muslim who turns from being a Muslim is opening himself up to death. The punishment of shunning your Muslim belief is to be killed.
You can read where every Muslim is encouraged to attack those who do not believe as they do .. or will not believe as they do…. to attack and kill. The goal for every Muslim should be for the whole world to follow Sharia law. Those who will not should be killed.
Therefore … though we all know of course that all Muslims are not terrorists .. it can also be said that all Muslims have the teachings to be terrorists.
Either that or the people who proclaim themselves to be Muslim really are not Muslim at all.
These of course are very short and broad directives listed above .. but certainly an Imam of a Mosque is aware of those directives and is compelled to follow them.
There is one goal only in this life for the Muslims as taught in the Qur’an .. to bring the whole world under Sharia law at any cost to their individual lives … therefore the suicide bombings .. the suicide missions like those that caused 9/11.
The metro train in Los Angeles area is similar to the one in Portland, Ore. There are no riders. How to fix that? It’s the sell job that counts … even when it means just getting from one place to another. Ride that Metro .. people! Hold your breath and HANG ON! Of course .. it could be there are no riders because there is no need for the ride. Could be. Could be research before building may have said that plainly and clearly. Could be.
It is a matter of simple respect for somewhere around 3000 lives lost … at the hands of extreme Muslims .. or could you say at the hands of Muslims who were carrying out life as they believed the Koran ordered them to .. “Slay the idolators {non-Muslims] wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besidge them, and prepare for them each ambush. Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the last Day … Go forth light armed and heavy armed and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! (Sura 9:5,29;41)” quotes from the Qur’an and Hadith.
The rest of the world should back off. This is not of their concern. It is ours to deal with …. in specific .. New Yorkers. Let them take care of that concern as they should …
The arrogance is complete now… and no longer will Obama even attempt to hide that which he is doing with words and sleight of hand trickery… or will he?
It is the same old players at hand here…. Goldman Sach, JP Morgan, Citigroup and GE… all deep pockets for Obama …. explicitly obvious here of course.
Is he flaunting his game for a reason now? Could it be something like … ‘here.. guys.. just see if you can stop me now.’
How many banks have been closed in the past year? Who were they? Could it be Obama is simply “cleaning house”… getting down to the crux of the matter… down to his handpicked banks .. all who will play his game in perfection for the almighty dollar that drives them?
One central totally government run and controlled banking system .. made to look innnocent and “free”?
Nothing with Obama is innocent or free. His arrogance is complete and bold and flaunted.
Know who you are voting for in November… and get all you know to get out to vote.
Muslim woman sues Disney. Why should she sue? Is anyone else permitted to display their religious preference in the work place? Perhaps that applies only if you are a Christian. Disney has no rights? Let’s get real … people.
Have you ever felt Christianity has been discriminated against?
Have you been told no Christmas carols at school .. no public nativity scenes on display? Have you been told to not say Merry Christmas .. but Happy Holidays instead .. no prayers in public places .. no evidence of Christianity anywhere in public?
Oh.. by the way.. this is not the first trip we have sponsored for him .. it is at least the third one … under a program run by the State Department”s Bureau of International Information Programs.
This of course follows the allowance of their “call to prayer” over public loudspeakers in public streets … the purchasing of Muslim footbaths for students in public universities …
Maybe .. just maybe .. there is some discrimination going on here… big time …. against Christianity?
Think thinking has gone wild here in the United States? Look over in London .. this is the height of ridiculousness … from a very highly paid professional? Where oh where has common sense gone? Angelina Jolie “damages” her son?
Arrogance can overcome anything .. even when the reality shows complete failure… and the beat goes on and on and on. White House touts success of stimulus. Great transparency? Where oh where is he living?
The mosque… and very legitimate reasons to question its placement.. Rights and Wrongs … and now President Bush is being called upon .. for support ????? All they want is to have him help bail Obama out of this mess … by agreeing with him. Use whoever and whatever you can to get yours off the hook! Why ask Bush? Why not ask Carter or Clinton? Whatever their ulterior motive for wanting Bush may be … as Karl Rove says of this temporary “embrace” of Bush .. “Their swamp fever will return momentarily.”
UPDATE: Iran and Saudi Arabia may fund mosque? Of course. Why not? Who is to stop them? Obama? Why would he? The strongest influence in his childhood was the Muslim experience. The next strongest influence in his life was the effects of twenty years in Wright’s church … who spoke of hatred of the American way. How can Obama possibly relate to what the American people are saying about anything?
ACTIVATE! Al Gore is sorely disappointed in how the United States government .. in its “entirety ” .. “has failed us”…. by not putting a price tag on carbon. ACTIVATE .. everyone.. like they have in Australia. Hmmmm … we are Americans .. Mr. Gore. We value our freedom … to live and BREATHE… without having a price put on the air we exhale so you can become the billionaire you obviously desperately want to become ….. at freedom’s expense. Shame on you!
Dr. Laura said something someone completely misinterpreted ... and is now going to retire from radio. That is a shame. Funny isn’t it.. how some can have such a thin skin in areas they choose when they wish to to use it against someone .. yet can have that same skin thickened a thousand fold when it comes to the reverse .. when they choose words to use themselves against someone. For the media to turn her remarks into a “racist” comment is a true statement of how ridiculously badly they.. the media … are attempting to fuel true racism.
