For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Mystery- Frank Hunter- Nobody remembers o at Columbia

Subject: This is interesting - another mystery about the Big O





NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA





Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.



Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me.



I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding." Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him.



At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me.



No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange?



It's very strange." Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Allyn_Root#column-one



NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in

1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN)

.Subject: Enlightening Letter from a Naval Commander



















From: Naval Aviator, Commander Jerry Wilson



We lived in California during the winters of 2007 and 2008.

We became addicted to Fox News and watched O'Reilly and

Hannity and Colmes every night. When we got back home, we

upgraded our cable to get Fox. I watched the

Presidential campaign very closely. Initially because I

thought the Democrats would nominate Hillary Clinton and

then in astonishment when they chose an even more hard-left

candidate. All of last year I told everyone I could

that Obama was not a Democrat, he was a Marxist. He is far

to the left of any European leader and even our far left

party, the NDP.



I read Saul Alinsky when I was in University. I studied him

and his writing carefully. When Bill Ayers and his idiot

wife were bombing and killing

people at random in the Weather Underground. Weather

Underground and the Black Panthers were closely allied. I

read David Horowitz's account of changing from a Marxist

to a conservative after seeing that the government was

afraid to prosecute members of the Panthers for murdering

his personal assistant. He suddenly understood the evil that

Marxism really was.



After the student radicals failed in creating a Marxist

revolution in the United States by violent means, they

embraced Alinsky. You would be wise to read "Rules

for Radicals" because it outlines how Hillary and

Obama planned to get into power, and what they intended to

do when they got it.



Socialism is not the correct descriptor for what Obama and

the Democrats are doing. They are going to be much

more far reaching than anything Sweden has ever been able

to do.. Obama is following Alinsky's plans, those

set out in "Rules for Radicals" and his other

writing. The Democrats are attempting to create one

party rule in the U. S. and in achieving that, will create

crisis after crisis by their own actions and use those

crisis to nationalize the means of production in the U. S.

You are in the middle of a communist revolution and few in

the U. S. can actually see it for what it truly is.



The U. S. is now on the path of financial destruction. The

Constitution has been shredded and individual human rights

are being trampled. In less than 8 months. Obama has

used a recession to take over the two largest industries in

the U. S. He will debase the Dollar and is on the road to

creating an incredible energy shortage that will allow him

and Congress to take over the energy industry.



But by and large I think that by the 2010 elections, the

Democrats will have gerrymandered electoral districts to the

point that it will be impossible for them to lose control of

both houses of Congress. The incredible increase in the money

supply is going to create Zimbabwe and Venezuela style

inflation, and with it, controls on the currency and the

amount of money that can be taken out of the country.



I love America , I cannot believe how the ignorance of the

American public has created a situation whereby they are

going to lose their Republic and slip into an age of

repression and tyranny.



I may be nuts, but so far I have been 100% in my

predictions of what Obama was going to do, because I merely

had to look at "Rules for Radicals" to see what

was coming next.



I read Glenn Beck's book, "Common

Sense" and in it re-read Thomas Paines pamphlet with

the same name. I recommend the book.



When the storm finally hits (and it will), those of

you who supported the Obama administration will be affected

as well. It won't just be us gun owners or Flat-Taxers,

or Pro-Lifers that get hit. You'll be right there next to us.



You all thought the Conservatives were nut cases. You know,

all of us who believe in God, small government, the Second

Amendment, etc. You thought you could just go back to sleep

after the election was over. In your world, America

will continue as before. You'll still have the same

rights, the same nice house, the same big screen

television. After all, your high school football team

won and the other team lost - go team! Even if you have

bothered to look up from the daily grind since Nov 4th, you

dismissed everything that has occurred as "politics as

usual--the same old stuff".



In the end, it'll all be OK won't it? Not this time.



There are a growing number of citizens in the US that are

ready to fight to shut down the government's grab

of personal freedom, it's blatant abuse of the

constitution, and it's an attempt

to replace the American way of life with socialism.

You have to listen carefully to hear them, but they

are there. I won't start that fight, but when it goes

down I will join it.



As for you, why, you'll be shocked because you

didn't see it coming. And eventually you'll be

saddened when you see that we have truly lost the way of

life with which you grew up. You'll be saddened that

your children and grandchildren live in a socialist,

government-controlled gulag where their every movement from

cradle to grave is tracked by the government. But most of

all, you'll be saddened by the death of friends and

relatives who are brave enough to fight and die for

something they believe in.



You know, McCain wasn't much of a candidate. I'll

give you that. He was the lesser of two evils for most

of us. I don't blame you for not voting for him since,

at the time, you didn't know what we all know now. But

at least John

McCain was an American. He was a supporter of the American

way of life and he understood that you can't negotiate

with terrorists. He understood and appreciated the sacrifice

made by my father and other members of the Greatest

Generation.



Mark my words friends. All across America groups are

forming. They are forming out of anger and out of

desperation at the thought of losing America . They're

not militia groups, terrorists as the Department of Homeland

security would have you believe; they are Americans, loyal

to the constitution. They are mothers and fathers and

grandparents. They belong to groups like the Minutemen Civil

Defense Corps, the Peaceful Resistance, the Constitution

Party, the Young Conservatives, the 9/12 Project, and

Grassfire. Right now they are fragmented, each focused on

their own cause. But sometime in the next two years, our

government is going to do something really stupid and these

groups will come together. Watch for

it, wait for it-- get ready. It will happen.



When that event happens, whatever "it" is, our

great country is going to plunge into chaos for a while. I

pray to God that we make it through that time and emerge a

stronger, smarter country.

McSanctity of Life- Dawood Kahn

BlankMy friend, Dave Kaehlin (Dawood Kahn) may scare you with his thoughts. Frankly, he gets me at times. He is a bright young, well-traveled fellow and has some interesting ideas to say the very least. From his blog last May:




Alan Dulles, Arbenz, Castro, Chile, Cuba, Diem, Eisenhower, iran, John Foster Dulles, Johnson, Kennedy, Noriega, Richard Nixon, Robert Kennedy, Santiago, Vietnam





The McSanctity of Life!

In Commerce, Middle East, Military, Politics, Vietnam, culture, thinking out loud on May 28, 2009 at 1:21 am

I do not believe that life is sacred. Merely being born does not make one worthy of life nor does it make one entitled to a good life or an easy life. I believe that it is up to each individual to make their life sacred.



I’ve often asked the question and very rarely been answered, but, who defines what life is sacred.



Whose life is sacred Mother Theresa or Hitler?



Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great?



Xerxes or Ceaser?



Attila the Hun or Aetius, Master General of Rome?



Mahatma Gandhi or Kublai Khan?



Ted Bundy or Ted Kennedy?



Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles Manson?



Mussolini or Charles De Gaulle?



Pol Pot or Ho Chi Minh?



Singh Man Rhee or JImmy Carter?



Teddy Roosevelt or FDR?



Chiang Kai-shek or Mao Tse Tung (Mao Zedong)?



Josef Stalin or Leon Trotski or Vladimir Lenin or the Romanov family they murdered?



Was the life of George Patton more sacred or less sacred than that of Erwin Rommel?



The lives Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson who were two of the most pious and religious American Generals were more or less sacred than the lives of Grant and Sherman. Sherman who supposedly said that the only good indian is a dead indian and was the author of modern day total war.



The Monk in Southeast Asia who studies Buddhism and teaches by his example yet does not believe in Christ as his savior. Sacred or no?



The Hindu Brahman? Sacred or no?



The Roman Empire and it’s millions of souls. Both the murderer of Christ and the main vehicle by which Christianity became THE primary religion of Europe. Had there been no Ceaser, there’d have been no Constantine.



And in the end, we live our beliefs. America says it believes in the sanctity of life even as we demand higher profit ratios and cheaper sneakers and nicer houses at cheaper prices. These things all come at a high human toll.



Yet, life is sacred?



It’s a good thought that is seldom put into action.



We invade Iraq because it has oil which is the grease of the capitalist machine. Then we stand idly by and watch as genocide occurs across the African continent.



Life is cheap.



There is nothing sacred about it. We love the sentiment. It makes us all feel better. Jesus and his words of Faith, Hope and Love. Christians who worship the man, yet, ignore his words.



Personally, I think Jesus would be ashamed of Christendom.



Life is as sacred as a Super-sized Big Mac Menu Meal.



The McSanctity of Life.



America has proved this time and again. We preach human dignity and self determination even as we support dictators who are willing to do our bidding. We preach self determination even as we have a distinguished one hundred plus year history of deposing democratically elected governments in the name of corporate profits.



Before one of you morons calls me unAmerican or a “blame America firster,” you might want to read a little history. Start with Chile and Guatemala. It’s a world tour. Next stop, Vietnam and Iran. Come on back home and read a bit about Honduras, Panama and Cuba. If you know nothing about these chapters of American history, speak not to me. You’re a blind and ignorant fool.



“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end”

Thanks Alma Holl!

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." - Cicero , 42 B.C.

Letter From Fort Hood

— By Kevin Drum
Fri November 6, 2009 8:19 AM PST

—Photo by flickr user brokenthoughts used under a Creative Commons license.



A former reader emails today to pass along a firsthand account of the shooting at Fort Hood on Thursday. It’s unedited except for paragraph breaks:



I was walking into the medical SRP building when he started firing (he never made it to the main SRP building….the media accounts are understandably pretty off right now). He was calmly and methodically shooting everyone. Like every non-deployed military post, no one was armed. For the first time in my life I really wish I had a weapon. I don’t know how to explain what it feels like to have someone shoot at you while you’re unarmed. He missed me but didn’t miss a lot of others. Just pure random luck. It’s a very compressed area, thus the numbers.



I saw a lot of heroism. So many more would have died if this wasn’t an Army post. We’re almost all CLS trained and it made a huge difference. Cause the EMTs didn’t get there for almost an hour (they thought there was a second shooter). I just can’t believe one of our own shot us. When I saw his ID card I couldn’t believe it. After he shot the female police officer he was fumbling his reload and I saw the other police officer around the corner and yelled at him to come shoot the shooter. He did. Then I used my belt as a tourniquet on the female officer.



I hate to tell you this but in the course of the day it became clear that it was another Akbar incident.1 (Once they convinced them the blood drenching my clothes wasn’t mine I spent the day being interviewed by the alphabet.) Akbar again. God help us. He was very planned. I counted three full mags around him (I secured his weapon for a while). Found out later that his car was filled with more ammo.



This was premeditated. This wasn’t VBC again. That guy snapped, not this one. He was so damn calm when he was shooting. Methodical. And he was moving tactically. The Army really is diverse and we really do love all our own. We signed up to be shot at but not at home. Not unarmed. No one should ever see what the inside of that medical SRP building looked like. I suppose that’s what VA Tech looked like. Except they didn’t have soldiers coming from everywhere to tourniquet and compress and talk to the wounded while rounds are still coming out.



No one touched him…the shooter that is…other than to treat him. Though I told the medic (and I’m not proud of this) that was giving him plasma that there better not be anyone else who needed it because he should be the last one to be treated. But I had just finished holding a soldier who was critical (I counted three entry wounds) and talking to him about his children…. If the shooter had a grievance he should have taken it out on those responsible; he wasn’t shooting people he knew (media reports to the contrary). He was just shooting anybody who happened to be present for SRP medical processing, mainly lower enlisted.



But please, no one use this politically! The Army is not “broken”, PTSD doesn’t turn people into killers, most Muslims aren’t evil, and whether we should stay or go in Afghanistan has nothing to do with this. I’m babbling…sorry.



1Hasan Akbar was an Army sergeant who killed two soldiers and wounded 14 others in a grenade attack in Kuwait in 2003. He’s currently under a sentence of death.



This letter was printed on MotherJones.com. I felt that many persons who were not politically inclined to the Left might not see it. So I’m throwing it up here. Just in case.



All sides of any given event should be heard.



I do not agree with many who are attempting to downplay the influence of Islamic Extremism on this man and his actions. He was definitely and heavily influenced by his brand of Islam. Even the Imam of his local Mosque thought he was extreme in his views. These actions will continue until America and the rest of the world come to the realization that not Islam but Wahhabism is a violent strain of Islam bent on forcilby converting all of Islam specifically and the population of the globe ultimately to their world view. The only way to combat this is to rid our planet of this strain of Islam. That means squaring off against Saudi Arabia. Wahhabism is the official religion of the realm.



We must realise that Islam is not our enemy. Muslims are not evil people. It is this virulent and violent form of Islam started by al Wahhab in the Nejd and spread like a plague across the globe by the Saudis in their oil funded madrassahs that are the enemy. The House of Saud must fall. Until it does, we will have these criminals amongst us and their numbers will continue to grow.



Wahhabism must die. The sooner the better for all of the world– Muslims and non-Muslims alike.



Then, authorities said, he packed two handguns, drove to this bustling military base, and opened fire on a brigade of young engineers prepping to deploy to Afghanistan after Christmas. In a matter of about four minutes — before he himself was taken down in a face-to-face shootout with a female police officer



Authorities say several witnesses heard Maj. Hasan open fire with two weapons, neither of them Army-issued. One person with knowledge of the weapons said one was a revolver, the other a FN Herstal “Five-seveN”tactical pistol, which one firearms Web site describes as capable of defeating “most body armor in military service around the world today.”



The FN carries 20 rounds per magazine. One witness said he saw Maj. Hasan reload at least once. A medic who treated the major’s injuries said his camouflage cargo pant pockets were full of magazines.r — he killed 13 people and wounded 30.



soldiers at the base have told investigators Maj. Hasan, a Muslim, shouted “Allahu Akbar,” Arabic for “God is great,” in the attack. One military official at the Pentagon who has been briefed on the investigation said officials are “close to 100%” certain Maj. Hasan authored an Internet posting defending suicide bombings.



I don’t think there is any plot in which this guy is involved. I think this guy did snap. I think he may have been pushed from various directions.



1. Inner conflict over “going to war” against fellow Muslims.



2. Bigotry of his fellow service members caused by:



a. Ignorance/Bigotry

b. his statements



3. Contacts with extremist Wahhabi elements at:



a. Mosque (an extremist Imam)

b. on the internet

c. within the local Muslim community



4. Life/Job Stress



I think he lost it and decided that he was going to earn his 72 virgins.



I am not saying that all Muslims are a danger. Some are. Probably a small percentage. Those dangers are out there. The greater danger to plunge our heads in the sand and deny the reality of Wahhabist Terrorism.

The Charlie Schultz Philosophy

Thanks James C. Cook!

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.




You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them.

Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.



1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.

4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.





The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers.

They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies..

Awards tarnish.

Achievements are forgotten.

Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.







Here's another quiz.. See how you do on this one:



1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special!!

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.





Easier?



The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials..

the most money...or the most awards.

They simply are the ones who care the most





Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.

'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia!'

Re- o allegiances blocked on Fox

They blocked this once before on Hannity and apparently the o crew have done it again. Adolph Hitler was a modest patriot for Germany when compared with o, the PUSA. The millionaire elitists representatives have vested interests in the SRUSA (Socialist Republic of the United States of America).
