Origin of Left & Right...
I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left."

By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.

Can't get any simpler than that.

and now for a Spelling Lesson-------

Akiane's paintings and Christian testimonies

A 12 year old paints Heaven (Absolutely amazing) Makes one pause, and reflect!! Some of her art work is at Mardel and is so beautiful it takes your breath away. If you read the book “Heaven is for Real,” this is the little girl who was talked about in the book and her rendition of Christ. Every time the little boy in the book saw a picture of Christ, his folks would ask him if the pictures he saw actually looked like Christ. He would always say no until he saw Akiane’s picture of Christ, then he said this is what Christ looks like. After you scroll through her artwork there is a video at the end. Absolutely amazing. Be sure and watch her video very near the end of the site... after the last picture in the slide presentation..... This is just too beautiful to describe....................... The Video at the end of the little girl's website is beautiful and amazing. This artist is lovely and her work is gorgeously spiritual. Don't skip the video at the end... it really is a "must see".! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/prodigy.html Akiane was born in 1994 "Life without God is like an non-sharpened pencil. It has no point."

I understand this message.  Barack Hussein obama has set back the chance of another black becoming president by a century.  I just hope our voters use good sense beyond a benevolent spirit they showed in 2008.

SamKAT

From a friend in Ashland, Ky.

This incident is but one more in a long line of incidents that have turned me back into a racist. When I first started teaching in Greenup, I had several blacks in school because Greenup was one of the first school districts in the state to integrate. I knew the law had changed to outlaw segregation and I intended to do my part to obey the law. For a few years immediately following the Supreme Court decision of 1954 outlawing segregation, I felt things were going to be fine. However, the honeymoon didn’t last very long.

Since Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty in 1964 and the U.S. Congress’ passage of Affirmative Action in the early eighties, I have witnessed too much racism by blacks. Ever since the Bakke case in California where Bakke was denied entrance to Stanford Medical School even though he had the top score on his entrance exam, I have slowly turned to being a racist myself. Bakke’s only black mark (pun intended) on his entrance exam was being born white. Stanford, instead allowed a black to enter their medical school. That black has now had his license to practice medicine taken because he was held responsible for the deaths of 3 women. Bakke went on to graduate from the University of Michigan medical school and is now a respected Ob-Gyn.

From that case on to the many, many other cases of blacks using and misusing affirmative action, I wouldn’t go to a black doctor if my life depended on it. There is no way to tell whether the diploma on a doctor’s office wall was earned on simply given to him by affirmative action. I’m sure there must be well-qualified black doctors, but how in the hell are we to know which black doctors earned their way in and out of medical school and which were let in and out because of affirmative action. I am not willing to take that chance with my life on the lives of any of my children, grandchildren, etc.

There are still a few blacks for whom I still have respect...Allen West, Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, etc. to name a few. But these respectable blacks who have earned their respect are considered “Uncle Toms” by race baiters Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etc.

I could give you a pretty long list of the racist policies of Barack Obama but I’m sure you are already aware of them. He has done more to hurt race relations than any president in our history but he would never admit it. (It’s all Bush’s fault.) One of my biggest fears is that if he is re-elected, he will appoint his current AG, Eric Holder, to the Supreme Court. Holder should be in prison, NOT on the Supreme Court.

Anyhow, I guess I should end my sermon for today. I am just getting tired of all the racism exhibited by blacks. THEY are the racists in my book.

THIS STORY IN THE HUFFINGTON POST ON AOL 8-22-12

I live just south of Cincinnati, Ohio and a local news story has caught my attention.

WHERE ARE AL AND JESSE ON THIS ONE? AS LIBERAL AS THE HUFFINGTON POST IS, I'M SURPRISED THIS CAME OUT.
Six black teenagers were bored, so they decided to attack and beat up a helpless white man who was walking down the street minding his own business. The victim had just finished some shopping at a local Ameristop and had his hands full of bags. When the attack started, he was knocked to the ground. He told the youths that he just got aid and offered them his cash, but they just laughed at him and kept on with the attack. After the attack, the victim was taken to a hospital for treatment of severe bruising, cuts, scrapes and internal bleeding.
When police arrested the teens, they told the police that they were bored and were looking for something to do.

Stingy liberals ... thanks Judi C.!

Stingy liberals
By Jeff Jacoby




http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | There are 366 major metropolitan areas in the United States, and a comprehensive new study by the Chronicle of Philanthropy ranks them on the basis of generosity -- the percentage of income the median household in each city gives to charity. According to the Chronicle, the most generous city in America is Provo, Utah, where residents typically give away 13.9 percent of their discretionary income. Boston, by contrast, ranks No. 358: In New England's leading city, the median household donates just 2.9 percent of its income to charity.
Provo's generosity is typical for its region. Of the 10 most generous cities in America, according to the Chronicle's calculations, six are in Utah and Idaho. Boston's tight-fistedness is typical too: Of the 10 stingy cities at the bottom of the list, eight are in New England -- including Springfield (No. 363) and Worcester (No. 364).
What's the matter with Massachusetts? How can residents of the bluest state, whose political and cultural leaders make much of their compassion and frequently remind the affluent that we're all in this together, be so lacking in personal generosity? And why would charitable giving be so outstanding in places as conservative as Utah and Idaho?
The question is built on a fallacy.
Liberals, popular stereotypes notwithstanding, are not more generous and compassionate than conservatives. To an outsider it might seem plausible that Americans whose political rhetoric emphasizes "fairness" and "social justice" would be more charitably inclined than those who stress economic liberty and individual autonomy. But reams of evidence contradict that presumption, as Syracuse University professor Arthur Brooks demonstrated in his landmark 2006 book, .
However durable the myth, wrote Brooks (who now heads the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think tank), there is no getting around the data. For years, academic research and comprehensive national studies have confirmed that Americans who lean to the left politically tend to be much less charitable than those who tilt rightward. The Chronicle of Philanthropy's new report is only the latest in a long series of studies corroborating that fact.
In 1996, for example, the wide-ranging General Social Survey asked a large sample of Americans whether "the government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality" -- a key ideological litmus test. Thirty-three percent of respondents agreed; 43 percent disagreed. The two groups differed sharply in more than their politics. The conservatives -- those who opposed government programs to reduce inequality -- were significantly more likely to donate money to charity than the liberals. And among those who did donate, conservatives gave away, on average, four times as much money per year.
Though there is a strong link between religious belief and philanthropy, it wasn't just churches the conservatives were giving to. "They gave more to every type of cause and charity: health charities, education organizations, international aid groups, and human welfare agencies," Brooks noted. They even gave more "to traditionally liberal causes, such as the environment and the arts."
None of this was what Brooks had anticipated when he began his research. "I expected to find that political liberals � would turn out to be the most privately charitable people," he says. "So when my early findings led to the opposite conclusion, I assumed I had made some sort of technical error�. In the end, I had no option but to change my views."
The Chronicle's new study, which is based on IRS records from 2008 (the most recent available), accounts for regional differences in the cost of living. It calculates charitable giving only from discretionary income -- the dollars left over after paying for taxes, housing, and food. But the economic differences are not nearly as significant as cultural differences. In parts of the country where conservative values dominate, charity tends to be high. Where liberalism holds sway, charity falls. "Red states are more generous than blue states," the Chronicle concludes. The eight states that ranked the highest in charitable giving all voted for John McCain in 2008. The seven lowest-ranking states supported Barack Obama.
Of course this doesn't mean that there aren't generous philanthropists in New England. It doesn't mean selfishness is unknown on the right. What it does mean is that where people are encouraged to think that solving society's ills is primarily a job for government, charity tends to evaporate. The politics of "compassion" isn't the same as compassionate behavior. America's generosity divide separates those who understand the difference from those who don't.

Jan 3, 2007 Democrats control Congress and obama takes over Pres. Jan 22, 2009

After Obama was nominated, I tried and tried to get this information out to everyone I know – it is absolutely TRUE – and is just one of many stories on Obama that I warned about – but I am convinced that intelligent, thinking individuals who actually study before they vote for anyone were then and I fear still in the minority of American voters.....please send on to all you know to get the word out about the hypocritical, whining Nobama who still attempts to blame Bush for what was actually HIS doing and all the Dimwits in both houses where they held a majority. Yes, Bush had two wars going and they cost a fortune but at just about any time as long as I can remember, we have had one war or more going and the wars didn’t create the fiscal and monetary crisis of 2008-9 – it was Obama and his Democratic Congress which did THAT as this piece explains – as for the housing bubble, that too was caused by Democrats INSISTING that it is not a privilege but the right of all Americans to own a home – whether they can afford it or not – and they put this ridiculous concept into a LAW that forced lenders to make the incredibly risky loans that they did. Then it was certain corrupt Wall Streeters who packaged these poisonous loans into bundles, selling them to the naïve who were also responsible. And now we have the filthiest presidential race in history with Obama and Chicago thugs and flunkies lying and distorting the truth of Obama’s presidency just like in Orwell’s “1984” – almost EVERY word which comes out of their evil mouths is Orweillian in nature – they tell the exact opposite of the truth – and as I know all of you are already aware, it’s because the pathological liar CANNOT run on the ECONOMY HE has created – one which is perilously close to going over the cliff. And even if Romney is elected, it still probably will because he won’t have the time to do all the healing that is needed to prevent. Tick-Tock. But still, if Romney/Ryan ticket is elected, they will slowly but surely do their best to fix the economy a few years into their terms...I HOPE.

Subject: Fw: VERY IMPORTANT INFO! PLEASE READ!

j

This tells the story, why Bush was so bad at the end of his term.

Don't just skim over this, it's not very long, read it slowly and let it sink in.

If in doubt, check it out!

The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.

The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:

January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.

At the time:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77

The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%

The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH

Remember the day...

January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.

The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!

Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA

And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and the Democrat Congress

So when someone tries to blame Bush.

REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.

Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.

In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

A Dark History Unfolding ... Thanks good anonymous Denison friend!

Subject: Fwd: A Dark History Unfolding Take the three minutes to read this. Maybe he is wrong, but what if he’s right? David Kaiser is a respected historian whose published works have covered a broad range of topics, from European Warfare to American League Baseball. Born in 1947, the son of a diplomat, Kaiser spent his childhood in three capital cities: Washington D.C. , Albany , New York , and Dakar , Senegal. He attended Harvard University , graduating there in 1969 with a B.A. in history. He then spent several years more at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976. He served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976. He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College . He has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University . Kaiser's latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press. Dr. David Kaiser History Unfolding: I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two. We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why? We've learned that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money.. Yours and mine. Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not. We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy... Why? We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why? We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose? Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so. And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe were more important.) Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change.. Why? This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again. And that is only the beginning.. As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course, How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... change. If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books. So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to. Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them. As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me. I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections. David Kaiser Jamestown , Rhode Island United States By passing this along, perhaps it will help to begin the awakening of America as to where we are headed.

Today's Columbus Dispatch Editorial and Forum pages

Today's Columbus Dispatch editorial and forum pages have unfortunate stories today.

Editor Harrison has a "Curiously incurious" headline of Stat eSenator Shirley Smith suddenly dropped her pursuit of financial records of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus because it might distract attention from president barack obama's campaign.  Sumpin ain't right here.  The Ohio Democrat had made headlines crusading against graft in the nonprofit organization.  Hmmm ...

Cal Thomas gets after Akin and his rape-abortion remarks on the forum page and Thomas Friedman talks about the radical Tea Party element in the Republican Party.  That is an insult because I count the Tea Party as the strongest and best part of today's Republican party.

Marine's wife's testimony ... Thanks Ron W.!

From a Marine's wife:

I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as the government
Under went a peaceful transition of power three years ago..
At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism while Barack Obama took his Oath of Office.
However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 Marines, In full dress uniform with rifles, Fire a 21-gun salute to the President.
It was then that I realized how far America 's military had deteriorated. 

Every one of them missed the bastard.

Some Democrats are catching on ... It's george Bush's fault ;)

 Subj: By a democrat reporter – would you believe

Obama is victim of Bush's failed promises. By a democrat reporter, Chuck Green.

I think it is time that we asked George Bush to step aside so that Obama can get his presidency going.

Here's an opinion piece by Chuck Green who writes "Greener Pastures" for the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel...one of the more liberal papers in the country. Additionally, Mr. Green is a lifelong Democrat...so this is rather a stunning piece...

Obama is victim of Bush's failed promises!

Barack Obama is setting a record-setting number of records during his first term in office:

Largest budget ever. Largest deficit ever. Largest number of broken promises ever.

Most self-serving speeches ever. Largest number of agenda-setting failures ever. Fastest dive in popularity ever!

Wow! Talk about change.

Just over two years ago, fresh from his inauguration celebrations, President Obama was flying high. After one of the nation's most inspiring political campaigns, the election of America 'S first black president had captured the hopes and dreams of millions. To his devout followers, it was inconceivable that a year later his administration would be gripped in self-imposed crisis.

Of course, they don't see it as self-imposed. It's all George Bush's fault !

George Bush, who doesn't have a vote in congress and who no longer occupies

The White House, is to blame for it all.

He broke Obama's promise, to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.

He broke Obama's promise, to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.

He broke Obama's promise, to end earmarks.

He broke Obama's promise, to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.

He broke Obama's promise, to close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.

He broke Obama's promise, to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America 'S most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.

He broke Obama's promise, to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.

He broke Obama's promise, to end no-compete contracts with the government.

He broke Obama's promise, to disclose the names of all attendees at closed

White House meetings.

He broke Obama's promise, for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.

He broke Obama's promise, to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter.

Yes, it's all George Bush's fault! President Obama is nothing more than a puppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration. If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, all of President Obama's problems would be solved. His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel . North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal government.

Oh, and did I mention what it would be like, if the Democrats, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn't have the heavy yoke of George Bush around their necks? There would be no ear marks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying ( Nebraska, Louisiana ).

If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, we'd have real change by now.

All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health care reform, immigration reform) is not President Obama's fault or the fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress. It's all George Bush's fault !

Take for example the attempt of Eric Holder, the president's attorney general, to hold terrorists' trials in New York City . Or his decision to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian.

Two disastrous decisions.

Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from George Bush!

Need more proof?

You might recall when Scott Brown won the election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, capturing "The Ted Kennedy Seat", President Obama said, Brown's victory was the result of the same voter anger that propelled Obama into office in 2008. People were still angry about George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years. And they wanted change.

Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in Massachusetts , was George Bush's fault.

Therefore, in retaliation, they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy seat, ending a half-century of domination by Democrats. It is all George Bush's fault !

Will the failed administration of George Bush ever end, and the time for hope and change ever arrive ???

Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something / anything?

It's Bush's Fault!
