There is no limit to what is lost, or the consequences of, careless data input in any aspect. Whether it is your job or just a hobby, it can have a resounding effect when steps aren't taken to verify and double check information that may (or may not) end up in a database or cyberspace.
I am a 53 yr old businessman and I came across a subject for which I took up an interest a few years ago. That developed into other things and changed my whole direction in life. My biggest hurdle in accomplishing my book has been incorrect or missing data for which I developed a new passion. Christian is, as Christian does.
What part of "...shall not be infinged" do you not understand?
The great pay-back has begun, and it's going to be ugly.
The gun grabbers in Congress are paying back the anti-gun extremists who put them and Barack Obama in office.
American citizens are facing an assault on our gun rights like we’ve never seen before. You see, H.R. 45is Barack Obama’s gun control package, and it includes the most vile anti-gun measures he’s supported over the years.
H.R. 45 establishes a NATIONAL gun registry database of every gun and its owner -- for the whole county! Your private information and every gun you own would be in the system.
But that’s only if you succeed in buying a gun in the first place!
And since H.R. 45 dramatically increases requirements for firearms purchases far beyond those ever proposed, you just might find youself incapable of buying a firearm once this bill takes effect. But, it gets worse:
*The National Association for Gun Rights has a survey ready for you to complete, but I want you to understand just how dangerous this bill is before I give you the link. Please bear with me for a moment.
You see, H.R. 45 would establish a national gun registry database which would:
Increase requirements for firearms purchases, far beyond those ever proposed.
Create a national firearms registry overseen by the Federal Government.
Invoke Draconian penalties for bookkeeping errors related to the Federal Firearms Database. It gets worse though.
Sarah Brady and her allies in Congress want to force you to take a written exam to prove that you are "fit" to exercise your Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you that gun registration has historically laid the groundwork for total firearm confiscation. Citizen disarmament is the watchword of tyrants everywhere.
In fact, the most brutal dictators of the last century were famous for their gun registration and confiscation schemes.
But H.R. 45, Obama's National Gun Registry and Citizen Disarmament Act, is more than just a forced registration of all firearms in America.
The bill also makes it increasingly difficult to buy a gun in the first place.
Taken right out of Sarah Brady's Christmas wish list, H.R. 45 includes a laundry list of new restrictions on firearms purchases.
In addition to the outrageous national gun registration requirement, H.R. 45 also requires you to:
1. Pass a written examination to purchase a firearm.
2. Release your medical records -- including confidential mental health records -- to the government to get your "fitness" to own a firearm approved.
3. Observe a two-day waiting period before all firearms purchases.
4. Pay a gun tax of $25 or more on all firearm purchases. Moreover, H.R. 45 bans all private firearms sales and maximizes penalties for minor clerical errors in dealing with the national gun registry.
I know I don't have to tell you, but these restrictions make a mockery of the Constitution. "The Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" might as well say: "You have no rights."
* Even the Supreme Court’s recent Heller decision guaranteeing an individual’s right to own a firearm doesn’t hamper Barack Obama’s agenda one bit.
In fact, it emboldens gun grabbers to pass legislation taxing ammunition, increasing registration requirements, and drastically limiting when, how and where you can use your firearm.
We must make this gun-grab expensive and politically painful for the enemies of freedom. If we do, they'll flinch ... and LOSE.
By mobilizing hundreds of thousands of grassroots gun owners across the country, the National Association for Gun Rights can put anti-gun politicians on the hot seat.
It's truly amazing how many can be fooled by the rhetoric of the Leftists. So many have died over the past 233 years so we can have the right to make the wrong decisions to undo the cause for which they died.
I have had many uninformed sheeple and zombies ask me, "What is wrong with New World Order?" After lengthy discussion, it was determined, without a doubt, they will have to experience it before they will ever understand just what they gave up.
Over the past generation, we have lost the concept of "freedom" through the dedicated propaganda of the elite to abolish it. Since this country was forged there has been a tyranny in the works, whose only obstacle is the Constitution of the United States of America. The objective is to make a relative few more powerful and wealthy than anyone can comprehend. The only way they can achieve this is to make the poor think they love them. In reality, they have always looked down on the misfortuned and ethnic groups. Diversity is what they preech, murder is what they practice. Human life will not stand in their way.
Many have known for years, the objective of the New World Order is to eliminate the middle class. There will be only the filthy rich or the dirt poor and all will rely on the government for their needs. This is totally acceptable to those persons without drive to be better. It is even more acceptable to those of whom have no concern for their children's future. Our decisions today will affect generations to come... It Cannot Be Undone!!!
As you fall in love with the phony elixir, the snake oil "Which will cure all", you must admit to yourself you only have concern for what you can get. You must be honest as you give away your rights (which you rationalize) and admit you have no respect for your armed forces and the casualties suffered. The millions of whom gave their lives over the years so you could extend your hand out screaming for freebies, is just a joke to you. Whatever you do, do not have the audacity to call yourself a patriot, as do many of you.
Barack Obama's camp was outraged when someone questioned his patriotism during the campaign, based on his communist connections. All the threatening information was available then, just as it is now. I see so many, everyday, posting things and commenting like it is news, when it was all readily available a year ago. But, praise the Lord, you got a black man elected, which was more important than any communist connections, or proof of his anti-American ideology. There are so many black men, and even a few black women, would be so much more beneficial, and a lot more experienced. But, Obama was (appointed) for his elite agenda.
If you voted for Obama, and you have finally come to your senses, or man enough to admit you made a tragic mistake, you can redeem yourself by 1) educating others, or 2) tearing up your voter registration card if you do not intend to take serious your responsibility as an American voter. Haphazardly voting for someone because of how they look or their ability to swoon you is nothing of which to be proud.
The heroes aboard Flight 93 said "Let's roll", as they proceeded to sacrifice their lives to stop a group of jihadists from flying the jumbo-jet into the nation's Capitol. Now, progress is being made to turn their memorial, at the crash site, into an homage for Islam. An honor for the killers.
The original Crescent of Embrace memorial to Flight 93 faced less than 2° from Mecca. That made it a mihrab, the Mecca-direction indicator around which every mosque is built. (Some mihrabs are pointed-arch shaped, but the classic mihrab is crescent shaped.)
The Park Service dismissed concern about the Mecca-oriented crescent on grounds that the construction drawings had not yet been finalized. “Those trees could move fifty feet, or three hundred feet,” said Project Manager Jeff Reinbold in the Spring of 2006, as if this kind of "tweaking" would make any difference (Crescent of Betrayal Ch.8 p.145-6).
The construction drawings have now been released, and yes, they moved the lower tip of the half-mile wide crescent about 300 feet, enough to change the orientation of the crescent by about 4.5°. Instead of pointing less than 2° north of Mecca, the giant Islamic-shaped crescent now points less than 3° south of Mecca.
Here is the original Crescent of Embrace:
"Qibla" is the direction to Mecca, which you can verify using any online Mecca-direction calculator (just type in Somerset PA). A person standing between the tips of the giant crescent and facing into the center of the crescent (red arrow) would be facing 1.8° north of Mecca, ± 0.1°.
Here is one of the new construction drawings:
Instead of facing a titch north of Mecca, the giant crescent now faces a titch south of Mecca (2.7° south ± 0.1°).
As with the original Crescent design, the upper crescent tip is the end of the 50’ tall Entry Portal Wall and the lower crescent tip is the last of the 50’ tall Maple trees on the bottom. The landscape overlays make the details hard to see in the thumbnail image above, but at full resolution they are fully legible. (Copy of source PDF, without the superimposed orientations lines here. Large file warning. Graphic is on p. 30 of 233.)
The Park Service was SUPPOSED to remove the Islamic symbol shapes
When architect Paul Murdoch’s winning Crescent of Embrace design was announced in September 2005, it appeared to show a bare naked Islamic crescent and star-flag planted atop the crash site:
Burned by the resulting firestorm of protest, the Park Service to agreed to get rid of the Islamic symbol shapes, but they never did. They added an extra arc of trees, and they call it a broken circle now, but the unbroken part of the circle, what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11, is still a giant Islamic shaped crescent.
This is explained on the Park Service's own website. The extra arc of trees is explicitly described as a broken off part of the circle:
In summary, the memorial is shaped in a circular fashion, and the circle is symbolically "broken" or missing trees in two places, depicting the flight path of the plane, and the crash site.
Those two breaks are the two ends of the extra arc of trees:
The extra arc of trees extends from blue circle to blue circle, marking the two “breaks” in the circle referred to in the Park Service’s official explanation of the broken-circle design. One is where the flight path breaks the circle (left), the other is near the crash site (center).
What is symbolically left standing (the unbroken part of the circle) is just this:
Remove the symbolically broken off parts, and you get the original Crescent of Embrace design.
The only change is that the crescent has now been rotated clockwise a few degrees. In the construction plans it faces slightly south of Mecca instead of slightly north of Mecca. For a parallel, imagine airline security discovering a terror bomber, then playing with the fit his suicide vest before escorting him to his plane.
They said they were going to remove the giant crescent. They claim they HAVE removed it, but they haven't. Symbolically, the design remains completely unchanged. The terrorists are still depicted as smashing our peaceful circle and turning it into a giant Islamic-shaped crescent, still pointing to Mecca.
The giant crescent is actually a mihrab
Here is the mihrab at the Great Mosque in Cordoba Spain. Face into the crescent to face Mecca, just like the crescent memorial to Flight 93:
Confronted with evidence that the Crescent of Embrace is actually designed to be the world's largest mosque, the Park Service sought advice from a pair of Muslim scholars. Both acknowledged the almost exact Mecca-orientation of the giant crescent and both offered overtly dishonest excuses for it. One said not to worry about the likeness to an Islamic mihrab because no one has ever seen a mihrab this BIG before:
...most mihrabs are small, rarely larger than the figure of a man, although some of the more ornamental ones can be larger, but nothing as large at the crescent found in the site design. It is unlikely that most Muslims would walk into the area of the circle/crescent and see a mihrab because it is well beyond their limit of experience.
Right. That's why everybody scratches their head at Mt. Rushmore. No one has ever seen Abraham Lincoln so BIG before. They just can't figure it out.
To be fooled by this excuse, you have to really really want to be fooled. The other Muslim scholar said not to worry, the crescent cannot be seen as mihrab unless it points exactly at the Kaaba:
Mihrab orientation is either correct or not. It cannot be off by some degrees.
In fact, a mihrab does NOT have to point exactly at Mecca, for the simple reason that, throughout most of Islamic history, Muslims in far-flung parts of the world had no accurate way to determine the direction to Mecca. As a result, it was established as a matter of religious principle that what matters is intent to face Mecca. This was recently affirmed by Saudi religious authorities, after Meccans realized that even most of their local mosques do not face directly towards the Kaaba. “It does not affect the prayers” assured the Islamic Affairs Ministry.
Faced with evidence of an Islamic plot, why would the Park Service send this evidence exclusively to Muslims for appraisal? Have they forgotten who attacked us on 9/11?
The Service has long since been apprised of the patent dishonesties retailed by its two Muslim advisors but they don't care. They wanted to be lied to, they knew where to go to be lied to, and they got what they wanted.
Michelle Malkin and Ed Morrissey
So where are the patriotic stalwarts like Michelle Malkin whose objections were instrumental in getting the Park Service to agree to remove the Islamic symbol shapes in the first place? If they knew in 2005 that the symbolic outcome of 9/11 should not be a giant Islamic shaped crescent why are they silent about this exact same symbolism today, after THEY were promised that this perversion would be removed?
Ed Morrissey urged his readers "to tell the National Parks Service and the Secretary of the Interior to rethink their plans," promising for his own part that "as long as that crescent remains in the design, I’m not donating a red cent to the memorial." Well Ed, the crescent does remain in the design, so please rejoin the fight.
The desertion of Malkin et. al. makes a difficult gap to fill, but we had better fill it, or the Flight 93 crash-site will soon be home to the world’s largest mosque.
David O. Carter (born 1944 in Providence, Rhode Island) is a United States District Court Judge for the Central District of California. Assumed office October 22, 1998, Nominated by Bill Clinton. Carter is hearing the case Barnett vs Obama, questioning the legitimacy of the President's office.
On October 1, just four days before the Motion To Dismiss hearing, Carter hired Siddharth Velamoor to serve as one of his two official clerks, from Oct. 1, 2009, till Sept. 30, 2010. Velamoor is a lawyerwho works for a law firm where Robert F. Bauer, one of Obama’s top lawyers is a partner. Bauer’s wife is none other than Anita Dunn, the White House Communication’s Director.
The unethical placement of Velamoor on Judge Carter's staff means the case is extremely flexible, and a waste of time. It does not matter either way the case would go, the whole case is invalid. If the case goes against the plaintiff, Orly Taitz will file motion for Judge Carter's recusal. If it is in favor of the plaintiff, the Judge will have himself recused.
Was this a conspiracy (theory?) right out of the Clinton style politics? Obama/Chicago style strategy? Or, is this how Judge Carter saves face by agreeing to hear the case, but, the outcome is worthless? I guess we'll have to wait for the movie. I'm sure it will baffle even the most dedicated John Grisham fan.
Carter is a former Marine and Viet Nam vet. Carter began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney with the Orange County District Attorney's Office in 1972 where he became the senior deputy district attorney in charge of the office's homicide division. Carter was the initial prosecutor and filed charges in the case of serial killer William Bonin, also known as "The Freeway Killer," who became the first person executed by lethal injection in California in 1996.
In addition to his judicial functions, Carter now performs a wide array of speaking engagements. He has lectured fellow judges through the California Judges College, the Judicial Criminal Law Institute, and the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference. He also speaks frequently with judges abroad, including past engagements in Brazil, Bosnia, China, The Philippines, and Malawi. Carter finally teaches an undergraduate course on the international narcotics trade at the University of California, Irvine, where he has three times received the school's Distinguished Professors Award, and has taught with the Whittier Law School's Summer Abroad Program.
In 1981, Carter joined the bench as a Municipal Court Judge in Orange County, California. One year later, he became an Orange County Superior Judge, a position that he held until joining the federal judiciary in 1998. Carter initiated a variety of programs to assist in the rehabilitation of convicted felons, including a tattoo removal program for gang members, and was active in planning the county's Law Day festivities. He earned the nickname "King David" from attorneys while serving as the Supervising Judge of the court's Criminal Division.
Carter was nominated by President Bill Clinton on June 25, 1998 to fill a seat vacated by William J. Rea. Carter was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 21, 1998, and received his commission the following day. He now sits in the Southern Division of the Central District of California in Orange County, California.
As a jurist, Carter is known for his acute intellect, courteous judicial demeanor, tireless work ethic, and expertise in complex criminal litigation. Although he is assigned to the Central District of California, Carter also regularly sits by designation in the District of Idaho and on occasion with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and in the District of Guam.
White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told a group of high school students last June that former Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong was one of her two favorite political philosophers, and you could tell she was speaking from the heart. Her earnest appeal to the teenagers to fight their own wars, as Mao had counseled when challenged within his own party, was clearly meant as a call to activism. "You fight your war and I'll fight mine," she quoted Mao as saying, because apparently Mao was all about personal choice.
Of course, Mao's usual response to those who questioned his authority was to have them killed, but mentioning that inconvenient truth might detract from Miss Dunn anointing him a philosopher.
"What would Mao do?" seems to be the guiding question in White House communications strategy. Miss Dunn bragged that during the 2008 presidential campaign, "very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control." The Obama White House continues this drive for control using the tools of government, seeking to harness all means of communication and organize a Cultural Revolution Lite. Read More on Dunn
The Washington Times and a select few others are the exception to the absurdly communist promoting newspapers around the country. The worse of the Marxist propaganda tabloids, I've noticed in recent years, is in St. Petersburg, Florida, of all places. The ridiculous irony is most of the (newspapers) ran off their readers by insulting the intelligence of those of whom were educated enough to read the papers, and could afford them. Now, our tax dollars will support them so they can continue the controlled propaganda for the Oligarchy.
The Obama administration and its Czars want the public to only hear the rhetoric, such as the School Czar's claim, "heterosexuality is out-dated." They do not want you to hear or see the outrage of decent Americans. If all you hear is what the leftists want you to hear, with no opposition, it becomes the norm...the accepted "politically correct" way...the "law of the land".
The Hollywood freaks are on the Socialist wagon with all the rhetoric and propaganda of how you should live to improve "Our way of life" while they are excluded from any accompanying hardships. The bold visits to Hugo Chavez by Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey was ever so telling. And sycophantic Ashton Kutcher is in the forefront lately with his star studded "Pledge to Obama" sick video, and speeches to promote "volunteering" and service to the government.
Film makers have always injected liberal propaganda into their films, aside from the amoral material throughout. Some dedicate their career to such leftist propaganda. At one time, it was funny and abstract, but, not being conceived as a threat to society, went unchallenged as our attention was diminished. We made no abstracting views, and the propaganda spread, opening doors into schools and churches. In fact, rhetoric has become so meaningful in today's society, Michael Moore's latest filmattacking capitalism and promoting socialism has been deemed by many as a religious film. Michael Moore, himself, appearing on talk shows spewing scriptures, implies he is doing the godly thing, with no retort from clergy.
There is nothing more ungodly than Socialism, and Moore must be one of those Oprah "Christians"... who don't have to believe in Christ or the bible to call themselves "Christians".
Much is said with no retort, no challenge, no common sense. Opposing views are not displayed, but, only the political agenda of the (Journalist?), Hollywood star (always genius), and the anchor man which calls himself a journalist, but, constantly projects his opinion, or the agenda of the network. CNN is on a constant attack of FOX cable news channel. Cnn's so called anchors and reporters are nothing but 'sales people' posing as newsmen. However, the opinion shows on FOX seem to be filled with more facts than opinion. Facts you will not hear from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, or ABC. So, the Obama administration, teamed up with their Socialist media partners, in order to kill the facts and discredit the source, has openly waged an all out war against the ONLY news channel (FOX) which challenges the deception and propaganda from the Oligarchy.
As of late, it has apparently backfired, as ratings have gone up 20% for FOX, while CNN is hurting. Channels such as CNN are trying to create controversy and 'shock' issues in an attempt to draw viewers, but, this also is backfiring, as people are seemingly becoming more aware. Recently, when Rush Limbaugh expressed his desire to bid on the St. Louis Rams football team, an explosion of leftist media attacks pursued against the talk show host. Rush was labeled racist and several 'invented' quotes, supposedly made by him were broadcast on every liberal media. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) gave a speech in Congress condemning Rush'sbid to the NFL. The NFL, wanting to uphold their pure, clean image (rolling eyes) denied Rush's bid.
To date, the only known retraction of all the outright lies which came out regarding Rush is that of CNN's, due only to outrage by the public.
The Communication Czar in charge of the FCC, but, accountable only to Obama, stated publicly he praises the revolution of Chavez in Venezuela, and the take over of the media. "This must be done", said Mark Lloyd, commenting on controlling what comes out of the media. The plan of the administration is to burden those channels which broadcast conservative talk shows with a 100% tax. Of course, this would run anyone out of business, or force them to comply.
Ron Bloom, Obama's manufacturing Czar, also believes in Mao Tse-Tung, and like all the other Czars and cabinet members under Obama, is anti-capitalism.
I'm sure the only reason our "Transparent" administration has not hired someone to monitor CNN for any "misinformation", the same way Anita Dunn monitors FOX, is because they don't yet have the funds. May I suggest, Mr Obama, you and Congress suspend all the frivolous and unnecessary trips costing millions of tax dollars? This alone would free up a ton of money, which itself is a mystery where it is coming from. Then you could hire a person for each network to monitor their broadcast... for the good of all the people. Right?!!
The Minnesota Free Market Institute hosted an event at Bethel University in St. Paul on Wednesday evening. Keynote speaker Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, gave a scathing and lengthy presentation, complete with detailed charts, graphs, facts, and figures which culminated in the utter decimation of both the pop culture concept of global warming and the credible threat of any significant anthropomorphic climate change.
A detailed summary of Monckton’s presentation will be available here once compiled. However, a segment of his remarks justify immediate publication. If credible, the concern Monckton speaks to may well prove the single most important issue facing the American nation, bigger than health care, bigger than cap and trade, and worth every citizen’s focused attention.
Here were Monckton’s closing remarks, as dictated from an audio recording:
At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.
I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.
How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it – Now the apotheosis as at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he’ll sign it.
[laughter]
And the trouble is this; if that treaty is signed, if your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution (sic), and you can’t resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties – And because you’ll be the biggest paying country, they’re not going to let you out of it.
So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world. It is a privilege merely to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free. But, in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your humanity away forever. And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will have any power whatsoever to take it back. That is how serious it is. I’ve read the treaty. I’ve seen this stuff about [world] government and climate debt and enforcement. They are going to do this to you whether you like it or not.
But I think it is here, here in your great nation, which I so love and I so admire – it is here that perhaps, at this eleventh hour, at the fifty-ninth minute and fifty-ninth second, you will rise up and you will stop your president from signing that dreadful treaty, that purposeless treaty. For there is no problem with climate and, even if there were, an economic treaty does nothing to [help] it.
So I end by saying to you the words that Winston Churchill addressed to your president in the darkest hour before the dawn of freedom in the Second World War. He quoted from your great poet Longfellow:
Sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
Lord Monckton received a standing ovation and took a series of questions from members of the audience. Among those questions were these relevent to the forthcoming Copenhagen treaty:
Question: The current administration and the Democratic majority in Congress has shown little regard for the will of the people. They’re trying to pass a serious government agenda, and serious taxation and burdens on future generations. And there seems to be little to stop them. How do you propose we stop Obama from doing this, because I see no way to stop him from signing anything in Copenhagen. I believe that’s his agenda and he’ll do it.
I don’t minimize the difficulty. But on this subject – I don’t really do politics, because it’s not right. In the end, your politics is for you. The correct procedure is for you to get onto your representatives, both in the US Senate where the bill has yet to go through (you can try and stop that) and in [the House], and get them to demand their right of audience (which they all have) with the president and tell him about this treaty. There are many very powerful people in this room, wealthy people, influential people. Get onto the media, tell them about this treaty. If they go to www.wattsupwiththat.com, they will find (if they look carefully enough) a copy of that treaty, because I arranged for it to be posted there not so long ago. Let them read it, and let the press tell the people that their democracy is about to be taken away for no good purpose, at least [with] no scientific basis [in reference to climate change]. Tell the press to say this. Tell the press to say that, even if there is a problem [with climate change], you don’t want your democracy taken away. It really is as simple as that.
Question: Is it really irrevocable if that treaty is signed? Suppose it’s signed by someone who does not have the authority, as I – I have some, a high degree of skepticism that we do have a valid president there because I -
I know at least one judge who shares your opinion, sir, yes.
I don’t believe it until I see it. … Would [Obama's potential illegitimacy as president] give us a reasonable cause to nullify whatever treaty that he does sign as president?
I would be very careful not to rely on things like that. Although there is a certain amount of doubt whether or not he was born in Hawaii, my fear is it would be very difficult to prove he wasn’t born in Hawaii and therefore we might not be able to get anywhere with that. Besides, once he’s signed that treaty, whether or not he signed it validly, once he’s signed it and ratified it – your Senate ratifies it – you’re bound by it. But I will say one thing; they know, in the White House, that they won’t be able to get the 67 votes in the Senate, the two-thirds majority that your Constitution has stipulated must be achieved in order to ratify a treaty of this kind. However, what they’ve worked out is this – and they actually let it slip during the election campaign, which is how I know about it. They plan to enact that Copenhagen treaty into legislation by a simple majority of both houses. That they can do. But the virtue of that – and here you have a point – is that is, thank God, reversible. So I want you to pray tonight, and pray hard for your Senate that they utterly refuse to ratify the [new] Treaty of Copenhagen, because if they refuse to ratify it and [Obama] has to push it through as domestic legislation, you can repeal it.
Regardless of whether global warming is taking place or caused to any degree by human activity, we do not want a global government empowered to tax Americans without elected representation or anything analogous to constitutional protections. The Founding Fathers would roll over in their graves if they knew their progeny allowed a foreign power such authority, effectively undoing their every effort in an act of Anti-American Revolution. If that is our imminent course, we need to put all else on hold and focus on stopping it. If American sovereignty is ceded, all other debate is irrelevant.
***Skimming through the treaty, I came across verification of Monckton’s assessment of the new entity’s purpose:
38. The scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention will be based on three basic pillars: government; facilitative mechanism; and financial mechanism, and the basic organization of which will include the following:
World Government (heading added)
(a) The government will be ruled by the COP with the support of a new subsidiary body on adaptation, and of an Executive Board responsible for the management of the new funds and the related facilitative processes and bodies. The current Convention secretariat will operate as such, as appropriate.
Now that all the apologies have been made, Obama(community organizer) sends Hillary(former housewife) to Russia to present them with a non-bilateral and unconditional offer for them to inspect all our nuclear facilities. How far does this lunacy go before we start caring about the children? What in hell are we leaving them?
Russia and the United States have tentatively agreed to a weapons inspection program that would allow Russians to visit nuclear sites in America to count missiles and warheads. The plan would constitute the most intrusive weapons inspection program the U.S. has ever accepted.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who met with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said publicly Tuesday that the two nations have made "considerable" progress toward reaching agreement on a new strategic arms treaty. I'll bet it's considerable...we give them all they've ever wanted and they give nothing. Not even cooperation with Iran which Obama has been sniffling to them about.
How far can we let this community organizer fool go? This is not bilateral. We tell Russia all our coordinates so their first strike eliminates our second strike. How far does this lunacy go before we save our children? This is the most radical statements I've made to date, as this is the most radical thing Obama has done to date, believe it or not.
Even though the revolution had already begun, 9 months ago we were still considered the "Super Power"... You do understand don't you? We are now considered by all our enemies to be a joke, and they are working on finally eliminating their thorn.
Do you think the lies and deception stops with health care? Wait until the rude awakening we face in foreign affairs, from the community organizer with ON-THE-JOB-TRAINING!!! Do you remember Carter? The nightmare had just begun there...just wait!
By the time the majority of America wakes up and a new Congress can entertain Treason charges, the damage will be irreversible.
This Cindy Williams is NOT the "Laverne & Shirley" Cindy Williams. She is a Assistant Director for national Security in the Congressional Budget Office.....
Military Pay
This is an Airman's response to Cindy Williams' editorial piece in the Washington Times about MILITARY PAY, it should be printed in all newspapers across America
Ms. Cindy Williams wrote a piece for the Washington Times, denouncing the pay raise(s) coming service member's way this year citing that the stated 13% wage increase was more than they deserve. I am very curious to know what Miss Williams feels about Congress approving over 20% increase in their pay(along with outlandish fringe benefits), and aside from corruption which is ruining our country, refuse to do the job they were assigned.
A young airman from Hill AFB (pictured above) responds to her article below. He ought to get a bonus for this.
"Ms Williams: I just had the pleasure of reading your column, "Our GIs earn enough" and I am a bit confused. Frankly, I'm wondering where this vaunted overpayment is going, because as far as I can tell, it disappears every month between DFAS (The Defense Finance and Accounting Service) and my bank account. Checking my latest earnings statement I see that I make $1,117.80 before taxes per month. After taxes, I take home $874.20. When I run that through the calculator, I come up with an annual salary of $13,413.60 before taxes, and $10,490.40, after.
I work in the Air Force Network Control Center where I am part of the team responsible for a 5,000 host computer network I am involved with infrastructure segments, specifically with Cisco Systems equipment. A quick check under jobs For Network Technicians in the Washington , D.C. Area reveals a position in my career field, requiring three years experience with my job. Amazingly, this job does NOT pay $13,413.60 a year. No, this job is being offered at $70,000 to $80,000 per annum........... I'm sure you can draw the obvious conclusions.
Given the tenor of your column, I would assume that you NEVER had the pleasure of serving your country in her armed forces. Before you take it upon yourself to once more castigate congressional and DOD leadership for attempting to get the families in the military's lowest pay brackets off of WIC and food stamps, I suggest that you join a group of deploying soldiers headed for AFGHANISTAN ; I leave the choice of service branch up to you. Whatever choice you make, though, opt for the SIX month rotation: it will guarantee you the longest possible time away from your family and friends, thus giving you full "deployment experience."
As your group prepares to board the plane, make sure to note the spouses and children who are saying good-bye to their loved ones. Also take care to note that several families are still unsure of how they'll be able to make ends meet while the primary breadwinner is gone obviously they've been squandering the "vast" piles of cash the government has been giving them.
Try to deploy over a major holiday; Christmas and Thanksgiving are perennial favorites. And when you're actually over there, sitting in a foxhole, shivering against the cold desert night; and the flight sergeant tells you that there aren't enough people on shift to relieve you for chow, remember this: trade whatever MRE (meal-ready- to-eat) you manage to get for the tuna noodle casserole or cheese tortellini, and add Tabasco to everything. This gives some flavor.
Talk to your loved ones as often as you are permitted; it won't nearly be long enough or often enough, but take what you can get and be thankful for it. You may have picked up on the fact that I disagree with most of the points you present in your op-ed piece.
But, tomorrow from KABUL , I will defend to the death your right to say it.
You see, I am an American fighting man, a guarantor of your First Amendment rights and every other right you cherish. On a daily basis, my brother and sister soldiers worldwide ensure that you and people like you can thumb your collective nose at us, all on a salary that is nothing short of pitiful and under conditions that would make most people cringe. We hemorrhage our best and brightest into the private sector because we can't offer the stability and pay of civilian companies.
And you, Ms. Williams, have the gall to say that we make more than we deserve? You can kiss my royal red a**!!!

We salute all our armed forces for your dedicated service, and want you to know that Miss William's opinion is not indicative of most of America. I wonder, Ms Williams, if you will also be at the airport with a sign protesting our servicemen upon their return.
Every year the prestige of the Nobel Peace Prize diminishes. Eventually(which should be the case now) notification of recipients will be on an obscured portion of the newspaper.
Well, isn't it a good thing they gave him the Nobel Prize BEFORE he's indicted for TREASON???
The main question one has to ask...What on earth was he awarded for? He has undeniably accomplished nothing in his first year of his administration, even though he has a Democrat controlled Congress. He is too radical even for many of those on the left.
The Prestige of the Nobel Prize is rounded off now with Barack's name added to the likes of Yasir Arafat and Al Gore. There's something to be proud of, even if you haven't really accomplished anything to actually be awarded a prize, unless it is the Junior Commies Club 'man of the year'.
Al won for spreading GREEN(backs in his pocket); Yasir won for spreading Piece(s of humans by strapping bombs to kids backs); and now Barack has won for spreading the wealth of Americans(even though it is anti-American)... All agendas of United Nations. Spreading is more important than Uniting, to the U.N. (NWO)
Obama supports tyrants all over the globe. His policies are in line with their agendas, especially in the Middle East. He supports dictators right here in our own hemisphere, including Zelaya of Honduras, who was legally removed from power by the Honduran Congress, in order to avert a coup attempted by Zelaya. Obama still calls the Honduran action a coup, and has placed sanctions against the country.
Coincidence? Previous to now Jimmy Carter was regarded as the worse President this nation has seen. After it's all said and done, Obama will not only be regarded the same, but, will hold the record for number of indictments of an American President; both win the non prestigious Nobel Prize.
Perhaps, if they took off the PEACE part of the title of the prize. It is indicative of the (lack) of integrity in journalism. The whole deception issue. Perception is everything, and when the majority of the people are uninformed and unaware...well, let's just say the U.N.'s agenda is on a roll like a greased wheel, with Obama at the helm.
It has been very obvious for a decade or better that the Nobel Peace Prize took a parallel view to the U.N., but, somehow, A.C.O.R.N. is connected to this...I just know it!!!
The Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States have heard oral arguments in the Salazar v. Buono case, a lawsuit in which the display of a Mojave Desert cross to honor war veterans is being challenged.
The plaintiffs claim that the cross is offensive, and because of that ''offense'' they're entitled to sue in court. The ACLJ fundamentally disagrees. To create a constitutional crisis out of an eight-foot cross honoring veterans is wrong.
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) filed a critical brief with the Court, representing 15 Members of Congress and tens of thousands of our members from across the country.
There is no question - religious symbols are constitutional. In fact, the Supreme Court Justices ruled unanimously earlier this year in a similar case regarding display of the Ten Commandments.
We are expecting a decision in early Spring, and because of the support of members all over America, we can also expect a victory!

Unconventional Operations to the Rescue (Part One of the Lily Pad Strategy)
by Paul E. Vallely, U.S Army, MG (ret)
Most Americans desire an effective change in the US war strategy and the wider global war against Islamic extremists and nations supporting them. President Obama, Secretary, Robert Gates and the Generals and Admirals must deliver it by placing experienced unconventional warfare leaders in charge of the war effort.
Since forcibly removing Al Qaeda and the Taliban in just 34 days in the Fall of 2001 with 100 Special Op Forces and Air Power and Saddam Hussein removed from power in 2003, the U.S.-led coalition Forces has been unable to achieve a take home Victory.
While many Americans recognize the conflict in Afghanistan is not going well and changes need to be made, there is substantial disagreement at the national level on a military strategy. The U.S. is seriously considering adding more conventional forces. Sending an additional 40,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan under current military strategies will be unlikely to make much difference. Excessive and restrictive rules of engagement must be lifted and rules for engagement built into the local Commander’s Operational plan to allow maximum power to be brought to the battle. As well, “Boots on the ground in Afghanistan” really mean Afghan boots on the ground.
Unlike US/NATO troops, the adversaries in this war do not carry arms openly, wear uniforms or insignias, and abide by other laws and customs of wars specified in Geneva conventional and protocols. They instill fear in military opponents, village leaders and local populations through use of suicide bombings, improvised explosive devices, kidnappings and beheadings. And they disguise themselves as civilians and hide among civilian populations with weapons stored and discharged from mosques, schools, hospitals, market-places, private residences and public roads.
To prevail, the U.S. has to transition from a conventional to an unconventional war footing and make the enemy pay a heavy price for their despicable tactics. The US must use “proxy forces”. "If you support me, I will destroy the Taliban and al Qaeda," Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum told The Washington Times in an interview at his northern stronghold. "I don't want to be a minister, not even the defense minister. I need to be with my soldiers. Give me the task and I will do it." Other ethnic leaders have made similar offers, but their support is problematic. Gen. Dostum is one of Afghanistan's most notorious warlords -- a Russian-educated former defense minister who turned against the Soviet Union in the 1980s but became a key figure in the Russian-backed fight against the Taliban a decade later. The tribal leaders with support are the only ones that can turn the tide of the war and not the central government in Kabul. As well, there can be no sanctuaries in Pakistan for the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
In Iraq and elsewhere, traditional troops, weapons and tactics are less useful than tools of influence, covert operations, and intelligence brought to the battlefield by special operators working harmoniously with indigenous forces and local populations. The prime objective is to create a climate of fear within enemy ranks that breaks their will to continue the armed insurrection.
Joint special operators (from all military branches) are also trained in local cultures and languages making it easier for them to embed in local populations and Afghan security forces and collect information which in turn may be used to “hunt and kill” hostile forces.
Forget about Nation Building until the enemy is defeated.
The action continues to meet resistance throughout DOD’s conventional warfare ranks, their industry partners, and congressional allies. The U.S. active duty military force consists of 1.4 million troops of which only about 50,000 are elite special operators, with only several thousand deployed to Afghanistan. Many military professionals prefer to have special operators continue in a supporting, not leading role.
Immediately after recently assuming his new post, Gates correctly stated that the U.S. must win in Iraq or face a “calamity” that would “endanger Americans for decades to come.” Since the fall of Baghdad, the U.S. has had the will to win but not the right strategy. It’s imperative that the U.S. transition quickly to an unconventional war strategy the war will be lost. The new “Lily Pad Strategy” must evolve now. There will be more published on this new out-of-the-box- global war-fighting strategy…….

The Hands-Out:"Death To Capitalism!!!";***Uh, like, OK... they are the 'Hand That Feeds You';(?); Are ya suicidal too? How ironic is it? The Socialists turn the ignorant against Capitalists who are the very ones paying for their entitlements.
Michael Moore's new film is anti-capitalism, but, i have yet to find ANY venue where it is being shown FREE. Moore has more than capitalized on his scam and Socialist agenda, in as much the same way as Al Gore. In fact, the most wealthiest politicians are the Democrats pushing for all the Socialist programs, convincing the 'Hands-out' they are all concerned for them.
There are actually people who can tie their own shoes which believe Moore's film is "Religious" and capitalism is anti-Christian. Nothing is more ungodly than Socialism and the ranks which befall it.
Hey Michael Moore! I got news for ya buddy...not only are you confused about capitalism, but, you are contributing to it as much as anyone in society by promoting your misleading propaganda which is deceiving the very people which depend on the Capitalist's taxes for their entitlements. FOCUS!
The present government's agenda is to make everyone the same...dependent on the government. We have to assume Obama IS a law grad, as like no other Pres before him he has not presented any documentation of any kind, but, what is intelligent abou...t ridding the country of those vile tax payers which pay for the government?
Socialism, and its successor Communism, has failed in every country that has adapted it, past and present. If you like Communism call your travel agent and take advantage of the cheapest deals in the world, as nobody else travels to them. Your time is running out here!!!
"Americans will never give up their capitalism, and jump into communism. But, give them a little Socialism ata a time, and they will one day wake up in Communism"~ Nakita Khrushchev, former leader of the Soviet Union
On Wednesday, the Senate Finance Committee’s vote of 10-13 to defeat the Hatch Amendmentproved the pro-life community correct: The talk from the White House and the Congressional leadership of avoiding funding of abortions in health care is just that -- talk.
The amendment sponsored by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) would have explicitly prohibited federal funding and coverage of abortions. Also defeated by the committee was another amendment by Sen. Hatch that would have prevented discrimination against any individual or organization who refused to provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions.
So what does this mean? Since the start of the health care debate, including at a White House meeting last month, Americans United for Life Action has argued consistently that rhetorical assurances that abortion funding will not be included in health care reform are not enough. Rhetoric must be matched with action, with the addition in the bills of specific language prohibiting abortion. Since all five committees have rejected pro-life amendments which would ban abortion funding and coverage in health care, it is clear that we MUST keep questioning the gap between reality and the rhetorical assurances we are hearing from President Obama, Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi.
The AUL legal team has documented the facts behind their myth that the Hyde Amendment would adequately prevent federal funding and coverage of abortion in health care reform. AUL wants you to have the facts to make it easy to speak up.
Now that committee consideration of health care reform is over, the “behind the scenes” negotiations begin. At this crucial stage, the Congressional leadership is going to be negotiating backroom deals with our legislators. Be aware that the next page in the pro-abortion playbook will be that Pelosi and Reid are going to try to make a deal like the anti-life Capps Amendment approach, which we oppose. The anti-life Capps Amendment approach is not acceptable because for the first time in history, the federal government will require that there be a health insurance plan that covers abortion in every area. Furthermore, the anti-life Capps Amendment permits federal money to go to insurance plans that cover abortion.
I assure you, we are hearing that the “deals” being discussed by Congressional Leadership on Capitol Hill are merely anti-life initiatives in the guise of ‘compromise,’ such as the Capps Amendment approach, and this will NOT protect pro-lifers from subsidizing abortion in health care reform.
This is where you come in.
YOU need to tell your congressman and senator that you will ONLY accept health care reform that includes an explicit prohibition on federal funding and coverage of abortion, much like the pro-life Stupak-Pitts and Hatch amendments that were defeated in Committees.
Everyone's support is important during this extremely busy time as we work to show Congress and all Americans that “Real Health Care Respects Life”!
Understand the Abortion Mandate. You can print and send your friends this flowchart [PDF sheet] which demonstrates how the abortion mandate will work without an explicit, proactive exclusion of abortion from health care reform. Please let your friends know about these efforts to mandate taxpayer-funded abortions as a part of the current health care proposals.
The first Sunday in October is Respect Life Sunday. On this special day, please reflect with gratitude on God’s priceless gift of human life. While you are at church, you can help make a difference by printing and handing out several copies of AUL's flyerto help educate your friends and family that Real Health Care Respects Life!
