Gun Control- Michael Moore- Anti-Constitutional

Michael Moore cannot get as far left as he desires ...

Megyn Kelly, Fox News is reporting that Michael Moore wants to see strengthened gun control laws.  By publishing photos of the children slain by the crazed gun handler in Sandy Hook, CT, the liberal overly-rich movie mogul hopes to move towards removing guns from all American citizens.  Constitutional overthrow is the desire of the far left in obtaining a socialized America.  People who have lived with overt government control of all aspects of their lives have never been happy unless they are part of the IN group. 

The left leaning Hollywooders and media members hope they become part of the IN groups in Socialist America. I predict they will be able to produce less of what they want if the socialist system wins out and they will also find that their mouths and hands will become gagged and tied.

Liberals think liberal only in taking down this great country which has been blessed beyond all other civilizatiions of this global history.

Thankfully, I still believe God controls the entire universe.  Neither the dictators from here and there, nor the anti-Americans like Michael Moore are very big in God's scheme of things, as shown by the life and courage of His son, Jesus Christ.

Last space shuttle in LA ... Thanks Sonny H!

It's quite a bit more, Sonny, but I remember the first time I saw the GAT 300 building with all of the lights instruments and controls.    Even in 1952, that was science fiction to me.

This is so awesome!!!!

WOW  !! We have now all seen on TV how the last Space Shuttle is now in Los Angeles . This is one final picture of the cockpit with everything powered on for one last picture before the electronics and secret stuff were pulled out / removed. An interesting thing is the graffiti in the crew compartments left by the hundreds of astronauts over the years. http://www.launchphotography.com/Endeavour_Flight_Deck.html

Newsmax- New Pope's politics tilt left

Bergoglio Described as Humble, But Politics More Left Than Most

Who is Pope Francis I?

An American political figure who has asked not to be identified has known Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio for many years and has met privately with him.

This source predicted to us weeks ago that Bergoglio would succeed Benedict.

Our source described him as a "sweet, humble, and kind man."

He recalled that Bergoglio lived in a simple flat in Buenos Aires and took a subway to his church offices.

As for his poliitics, he is described as "more left than most" in the Church hierarchy, one who has expressed some sympathy for liberation theology and helping the poor — though some of this was voiced privately.

Editor's Note : Health Benefits of Prayer Revealed!

In recent years, Bergoglio has been a strong opponent of Argentina's Kirchner government, largely because "(President Cristina) Kirchner has been at war with the Church."

Bergoglio also has been animated by the rising Protestant evangelical movements throughout Latin America and has encouraged the Church to focus on tradition while allowing the faithful to express their emotion as well.

Francis already has been described as a compromise choice.

LIGNET, Newsmax's global intelligence and forecasting service, predicted that the Italians who dominate the College of Cardinals would seek to appoint one of their own.

Failing that, LIGNET reported, the Italians would seek the support of Latin Cardinals to appoint one of from their region who was of Italian descent. Bergoglio is the son of Italian immigrants.

Bergoglio was one of two leading Cardinals, including Leonardo Sandri, also of Argentina, who fit the bill for a compromise candidate, as far as the Italians were concerned.

Bergoglio was discounted as a likely choice because of his age, 76. It was believed the conclave would seek a younger, more energetic, "governing" pope.

The selection of Bergoglio suggests that the Cardinals could not quickly select such a reformer.

Bergoglio likely will not be a transformational pope, but one who continues in Benedict's dogmatic footsteps while not radically changing the Curia, the Holy See's administration.

Social Security Name Change ... Gov. Arrogance! Thanks Marge R!

Subject: SOCIAL SECURITY NAME CHANGE

I'm forwarding because I also agree. but this needs to get out of the Internet and on the news.  Is Fox News listening?   Pay attention to your next Social Security income, whether you get a check or an  electronic deposit what it is now called...see below.. SOCIAL SECURITY NOW CALLED 'FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENT'/ENTITLEMENT! Have you noticed, your Social Security check is now referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment"? I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.  I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a “Federal Benefit Payment.”     I think we should deluge washington with PROTESTS.  Write your congressman and senators.  If we DON'T.......who WILL???  Washington has a SITE for PROTESTS.  A federal benefit.....my A--!     This isn’t a benefit – its earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.  If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security.  If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both yours and your employer’s contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of  working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive$39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That’s almostthree times more than today’s average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the  Social Secur ity Administration (Google it - it’s a fact).  And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)!  I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had  just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.  Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They “forgot” that it wasOUR money they were taking.  They didn’t have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them.  And they didn’t pay interest on the debt they assumed.  And recently, they’ve told us that the money won’t support us for very much longer.  But is it our fault they misused our investments?  And now, to add insult to injury, they’re calling it a “benefit,” as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they “borrowed” the money, doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let’s take a stand.  We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare.  Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government –  Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going, for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it.  Then call it what it is:  Our Earned Retirement Income. 99% of people won't forward this. Will you?
