HAVANA (AP) - Cuba's foreign minister called President Barack Obama an "imperial and arrogant" liar Monday for his conduct at the U.N. climate conference, a reflection of the communist island's increasingly fiery verbal attacks on the U.S. government.
Bruno Rodriguez spent an hour and a half lambasting Obama's behavior in Copenhagen, telling a news conference, "at this summit, there was only imperial, arrogant Obama, who does not listen, who imposes his positions and even threatens developing countries."
He called the summit "a fallacy, a farce" and said Washington used back-room deals and strong-arm tactics to foist on the world a deal that he labeled "undemocratic" and "suicidal" because it urges - but does not require - major polluters to make deeper emissions cuts.
Rodriguez also said Cuba and other poor nations have refused to recognize the agreement because they weren't permitted to participate in its development.



Healthcare:

Only one requires the difficult tally of 60 senators, and the outcome of that vote _ to overcome GOP opposition to the sweeping legislation _ is preordained. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has herded 58 Democrats and two independents into line through a combination of wheedling, cajoling and dispensing special deals. The strategy has Republicans irate.

"That's not change you can believe in. That's sleazy," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told NBC's "Today" show Tuesday, just before the voting began.

Reid makes no apologies.

"I don't know if there's a senator that doesn't have something in this bill that was important to them, and if they don't have something in it important to them, then it doesn't speak well of them," Reid said Monday.

Graham cited the example of $100 million in the legislation to pay the full cost of a Medicaid expansion in Nebraska _ home to Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson, the crucial 60th vote for the bill. Another concession, sought by Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., exempts roughly 800,000 seniors in Florida from potential benefit cuts by private Medicare Advantage plans.


My thoughts:

Wow, another country is calling the leader of our country a Liar, I ask myself how I feel about this?
I feel disgusted, because I think they see the real man behind all of the glitter & glamour.
I was also wondering if our government could show us anymore disrespect, with the whole Nebraska(sweet deal) I got it just tell us you don't CARE what The PEOPLE of the United States think or want, and you would be speaking the TRUTH .
God bless everyone, I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas.

On a personal note: I am trying to say Merry Christmas to all the people I come in contact with, not happy holidays.

Silly Sunday. Couldn't help myself!

A PICTURE IS WORTH MORE, THAN ANYTHING I COULD WRITE TODAY.

Big Thanks

Most post that I put on here are not personal.
But this one is.
Many years ago, My guy introduce us( his family) to a great group of people.
They introduces us to so many things we had been missing.
Yesterday, I sat up thinking of all the things I and my family have been blessed with.
There were a handful or so that just kept popping up.
having God and my family all together(BBNMA)
having shelter,food,income,health,love
having my Brothers on this earth
having met the" S " Family
Having found Homeschooling

So the S family made such a impact on us, that after meeting them we become interested in
Homeschooling. Although, we had never thought of the idea before, the warmth,joy,respect,intellect,overwhelming love
they all had was inspiring.
One thing they reminded me of was that God exists, which I had lost that, not so much that I did not believe somewhat.
But enough that I was not praying to him, or thanking him, or even making him number one.

Now, I find myself giving thanks everyday, to God. Sometimes twice or more.
The S family still shows me things daily, weekly. We are so blessed to have them as friends whom really are family to Us.

Mrs. L , if you are reading this I will never be able to repay you and your family for the impact you have made in our life,faith.
We choose God and are always blessed with him in our life.

Big Thanks S family..

Remember, 12/7/1941

Regardless of your age, or your interest in World War II, a visit to Pearl Harbor Hawaii is an extremely emotional experience. There are many war memorials across America, but there's something truly different here. At 7:55 on the sunny morning of Sunday, December 7, 1941, 183 Japanese warplanes swooped out of a cloudless sky and demolished the US Pacific fleet docked at Pearl Harbor. It was this single catastrophic event, not the invasion of Poland, the Battle of Britain or the persecution of the Jews, that finally dragged the United States into World War II.

Shaniya Davis Found Dead; Mother Turned Little Girl Into Sex Slave, Say Police

STORY CONTRIBUTED BY CBS AFFILIATE WRAL

NEW YORK (WRAL) The body of missing 5-year-old Shaniya Nicole Davis was recovered Monday afternoon, Fayetteville Police Chief Tom Bergamine said.


The child was first reported missing from her home by her mother last Tuesday morning. On Friday, Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, was charged with first-degree kidnapping, and late Saturday, her mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, 25, was arrested on accusations that she prostituted her daughter.

Fayetteville police scheduled a 2:30 p.m. news conference at the Benhaven Fire and Rescue Department on Barbeque Church Road.

Fayetteville police received a tip Sunday that Shaniya's body was dumped along Walker Road, off N.C. Highway 87, said Theresa Chance, spokeswoman for the Fayetteville Police Department. About 250 law enforcement agents and volunteers searched the area Monday morning, but they moved farther south after noon.

Searchers focused on an area about 6 miles from the last confirmed sighting of Shaniya. She was seen on security video at the Comfort Suites hotel in Sanford, along with a man who police believe is McNeill, last Tuesday morning.

Shaniya's father and aunt appeared on CBS' "Early Show" Monday to beg for the girl's safe return.

"I just ask that, at this time, please just let her go," said Shaniya's aunt, Carey Lockhart-Davis. "She doesn't deserve this. Have a kind heart."

Lockhart and his sister, who live out of state, cared for the girl until last month, when she went to live with her mother. Davis had worked to get her life together and had been working for at least six months and gotten a place of her own, Lockhart said.

Antoinette Davis is scheduled to appear in court Monday afternoon. Police said that arrest documents say that she "knowingly provide[d] Shaniya Davis with the intent that she be held in sexual servitude" and she "permit[ted] an act of prostitution."

Lockhart-Davis, who is not related to the girl's mother, recalled happy times with Shaniya, when the girl would come home from school showing off marks for good behavior.

"She's a precious, little angel, full of joy," Lockhart said. "A little reserved when you first meet her, but once she gets to know you, she just runs around, plays and won't leave you alone.



My thoughts:

I have to say that being a Mother, I feel horrified by this story. I can only say this that I will keep this whole family in my prayers. I hope you can send your prayers to this family as well.

We remember..

U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4, 1926, requesting the President issue another proclamation to observe November 11 with appropriate ceremonies. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U.S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday; "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'


I Thank ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHOM PUT THEMSELVES IN HARMS WAY.
*who make the freedom I have, possible.
* who give up things for my safety.
* who pay the ultimate price for our great country.
* who ask for nothing in return except world peace.
I will never be able to give enough Thanks to our soldiers and what they do!

They are always in our prayers.

Do not forget.

http://www.soldiersangels.org/

I always try to remind myself how truly blessed I am. I also remember all those who fight and have given us the freedom
we have. Some many Men and Women paid a hefty price in the pursuit of life and liberty . They gave their life or a limb .

I posted some links that may help you remember. I also posted them for myself.
But their are strong Men and Women in this country and far away that deserve to be thought of
IN OUR PRAYERS.

Three months and Going..

So if you at all have followed my blog, you know that towards the end of August of 2009, my family and I
decided to avoid W-MART. NO shopping there. We are now in the end of October and we are still W free.. NOT ONE Foot in that place.

I will tell you we have saved an average of 200- 400 dollars every month,since our boycott.
Also found that other grocery stores have better product and more helping to their customer.

Oh believe me we drive by W everyday to go to sports and other things, But we do not miss it.
For surely when we found out how much we were saving. We are loving that.

We wish you a great day and that God Blesses you everyday.


On a side Note: I have started training for a 15 k in Feb. 2010.

‘Good Without God,’ Atheist Subway Ads Proclaim
By JENNIFER 8. LEE

Coalition of Reason
An advertisement that promotes atheism will run in a dozen subway stations in Manhattan for a month starting next Monday.
Atheism is coming to the subway — or at least subway ads promoting it are.

Starting next Monday, a coalition of local groups will run a monthlong advertising campaign in a dozen Manhattan subway stations with the slogan “A Million New Yorkers Are Good Without God. Are You?” The posters also advertise the Web site BigAppleCoR.org, which provides a listing of local groups affiliated with the Coalition of Reason, the umbrella organization that coordinated the campaign.

The campaign — which is being paid for by $25,000 from an anonymous donor — follows a similar but unrelated monthlong campaign on buses by New York City Atheists in July. Jane Everhart, a spokeswoman for the New York City Atheists, said that campaign was highly successful and brought in many new members. “We are trying to raise money to do it again,” she said.


My Thoughts:

So again the joy of living in a country which allows you Freedom of Speech.
I wonder what would happen if the people who believe in God, posted something about their belief.
I think it would cause an outrage.. But you never know unless one does it?

Happy Hump Day!!

Disgusted!

Self-Described "Abortion Addict" Tells All
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 9:47 AM



Irene Vilar, series editor of the Americas at Texas Tech University Press, has 15 procedures in about as many years. She tells all in her new book, Impossible Motherhood.
My story is a perversion of both maternal desire and abortion, framed by a lawful procedure that I abused. My first pregnancy was a result of lying about birth control. He was inside of me when he asked: You are protecting yourself, aren't you? Later, I would take my pills and skip a day, a few, and often give up on the whole month, promising myself I would do better the next time. Not knowing how a pill or a handful of them would affect my fertility, my days took on a balancing act, and a high of sorts accompanied the days before my period was due.

This woman
sounds like she has a mental illness.

I knew a girl once who had mutliple abortions because she tried to force her boyfriend into marriage, and when it didn't work, that kid got sucked into a sink.

And the end of the day, though, the government shouldn't get involved. What always amazes me is that the very people who think that the government preventing businesses from pouring arsenic into the water supply and treating their employees fairly is an intrusion into "liberty", want the government in the office when a woman talks to her doctor about how to deal with an unwanted pregnancy or perhaps a wanted pregnancy that has gone horribly wrong.

"No God.
No problem with abortion."

Me- Well, there is no God. But I know a few atheists who are against abortion because they believe the fetus feels pain.

That said, however, I would ask all you right wingers, exactly WHERE in the bible God SPECIFICALLY says abortion is wrong?

As a matter of fact,

If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life. -- Exodus 21:22-23

Wow, so essentially, a man causing a miscariage- an abortion - really was not guilty of anything more than a property crime. Keep in mind, the Bible call for executing people for much lesser crimes, but causing an abortion is just paying a fine.

further, the bible didn't even consider INFANTS to be full fledged people.

Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD. -- Numbers 3:15-16

Understandable, the infant mortality rate in Bible times was something like 50%. No point getting worked up about them.

You liberals are insane, you glorify the killing of innocent babies, yet defend pedophiles and rapists. You shamelessly use government to steal from those who work for their money to give it to those who won't. As near as I can tell, all liberals are Misanthropes and Luddites, who would have us living in caves without so much as a freaking fire to keep us warm, because after all CO2, you know, the air that the GREEN things on Earth breath is a Pollutant.

This woman is more than an idiot. She must be mentally ill, or else one of the most irresponsible people on the planet - next to Whoopi Goldberg (self-confessed 6-time aborter.) I am so sick of hearing women who have had abortions claim they had NO IDEA that being careless with birth control could lead to pregnancy. And I would expect that after the first "surprise" pregnancy any sane woman would have figured out what was causing it.

Add to that this woman has 15 "Oops!" experiences, kills 15 babies, and then decides to write a BOOK about it, trying to excuse her behavior by calling it an "addiction?" I've got news for you, Irene. You can tell yourself any lies you want in this world, but you WILL answer for your behavior in the next.

Apologies Apparently Accepted: President Obama Awarded Nobel Peace Prize
Posted by: Meredith Jessup at 6:34 AM
Despite taking office only two weeks before the nomination deadline, the world has been so smitten with Barack Obama and "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Specifically, Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee citing his "outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation."

Obama joins only two other US presidents who won the prize during their time in the White House--Theodore Roosevelt for fostering peace between Russia and Japan, and Woodrow Wilson for founding the League of Nations. Jimmy Carter won the prize in 2002 for his "effort" on behalf of peace.

I'm with Matt on this one. Not only is this award INCREDIBLY premature since Obama has only been in office just over nine months, but also pretty inappropriate. Teddy Roosevelt ended the Russo-Japanese War and received the prize, and Obama... what? Gave a speech in Cairo?

Obama beat out "Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, a Colombian senator and a Chinese dissident, along with an Afghan woman's rights activist."

I know we're at war right now and that war is bad, but I would just like to point out this bit of irony: if it hadn't been for "the evil one," President George W. Bush, and the U.S. military's efforts in ridding Afghanistan of the Taliban's tyrannic rule, I'd imagine there would be no "Afghan woman's rights activist" around today to even be considered for this award. Or if there were many women's rights activists around during the days of the Taliban, they were probably most concerned with avoiding public floggings for not wearing their burqas properly--a staple of the Taliban's consolidation of power under Sharia law.

But thank goodness for Barack Obama--whose new policy for Afghanistan might include allowing this same Taliban organization back into power in regions across the country!
The Nobel committee praised Obama's creation of "a new climate in international politics" and said he had returned multilateral diplomacy and institutions like the U.N. to the center of the world stage. The plaudit appeared to be a slap at President Geroge W. Bush from a committee that harshly criticized Obama's predecessor for resorting to largely unilateral military action in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Rather than recognizing concrete achievement, the 2009 prize appeared intended to support initiatives that have yet to bear fruit: reducing the world stock of nuclear arms, easing American conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthening the U.S. role in combating climate change.

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Committee said. "In the past year Obama has been a key person for important initiatives in the U.N. for nuclear disarmament and to set a completely new agenda for the Muslim world and East-West relations."

So correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this essentially mean Obama received this award for making some good speeches? Sure nothing he says has actually been accomplished, but it all sounds good!

Sure the Nobel Prize lost a lot of luster after they awarded one to Al Gore, but c'mon! This is just more evidence the "messiah" mentality has reached the world stage.


My THought:

Twelve days after being in office you can be nominated for such a prestigious award. So someone can be in the same ranks with a woman who dedicated her life to save the sick. A man who fought for freedom and the equality for African-Americans. A man who fought and ended the Apartheid. This award should be given to people who show and have accomplished something worthy . Something that changes people's lives. It should not go to someone who may or may not do something. Just because someone says they are going to change things, does not mean it will always be for good. Your good may not be someone else's good. What I think is worthy of my attention clearly is not worthy for some others.


This is what the Nobel peace prize website says:


"for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples"

High Court Takes Up Case of Cross on Public Land
The cross, located on a rocky outcrop in the Mojave Desert, has been covered in plywood for the past several years following federal court rulings that it violates the First Amendment

AP
Wednesday, October 07, 2009


File: The cross, covered in a tarp, is seen at the Mojave National Preserve in southern California. (AP / Las Vegas Review Journal)

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court is taking up a long-running legal fight over a cross honoring World War I soldiers that has stood for 75 years on public land in a remote part of California.

The cross, on an outcrop known as Sunrise Rock in the Mojave National Preserve, has been covered in plywood for the past several years following federal court rulings that it violates the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment prohibition against government endorsement of religion.

The justices were to hear arguments Wednesday in a case the court could use to make an important statement about its view of the separation of church and state. The Obama administration is defending the presence of the cross, which court papers describe as being 5 to 8 feet tall.

A former National Park Service employee, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, sued to have the cross removed or covered after the agency refused to allow erection of a Buddhist memorial nearby. Frank Buono describes himself as a practicing Catholic who has no objection to religious symbols, but he took issue with the government's decision to allow the display of only the Christian symbol.

Easter Sunrise services have been held at the site for decades.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has repeatedly ruled in Buono's favor. Congress has intervened on behalf of the cross, prohibiting the Park Service from spending money to remove the cross, designating it a national memorial and ultimately transferring the land to private ownership.

The appeals court invalidated the 2004 land transfer, saying that "carving out a tiny parcel of property in the midst of this vast preserve -- like a doughnut hole with the cross atop it -- will do nothing to minimize the impermissible governmental endorsement" of the religious symbol.

Veterans groups are on both sides of the case, with some worrying that other religious symbols that serve as war memorials could be threatened by a ruling in Buono's favor. Jewish and Muslim veterans, by contrast, object that the Mojave cross honors Christian veterans and excludes others.

The administration wants the court to rule that Buono had no right to file his lawsuit because, as a Christian, he suffers no harm from the cross. His main complaint is that others may feel excluded, the government says.

Alternatively, the administration says the land transfer took care of any First Amendment problem.

A Letter from a Child
by Thomas Sowell
This is page two of the article:

He said, "I have been assigned to ask a famous person a question about how he or she would solve a difficult problem." The problem was what to do about the economy.

Instead, I replied to his parents: With American students consistently scoring near or at the bottom in international tests, I am repeatedly appalled by teachers who waste their students' time by assigning them to write to strangers, chosen only because those strangers' names have appeared in the media.

It is of course much easier-- and more "exciting," to use a word too many educators use-- to do cute little stuff like this than to take on the sober responsibility to develop in students both the knowledge and the ability to think that will enable them to form their own views on matters in both public and private life. What earthly good would it do your son to know what economic policies I think should be followed, especially since what I think should be done will not have the slightest effect on what the government will in fact do? And why should a fifth-grader be expected to deal with such questions that people with Ph.D.'s in economics have trouble wrestling with?

The damage does not end with wasting students' time and misdirecting their energies, serious though these things are. Getting students used to looking to so-called "famous" people for answers is the antithesis of education as a preparation for making up one's own mind as citizens of a democracy, rather than as followers of "leaders."

Nearly two hundred years ago, the great economist David Ricardo said: "I wish that I may never think the smiles of the great and powerful a sufficient inducement to turn aside from the straight path of honesty and the convictions of my own mind."

The fad of assigning students to write to strangers is an irresponsible self-indulgence of teachers who should be teaching. But that practice will not end until enough parents complain to enough principals and enough elected officials to make it end.

Funnies

What can I say or type that can compare to the above comics.
They are great and well everyone always says a picture is worth 1,000 words.
Here you go!!

Happy Reading.

GUY A SAYS: For those people compaining about President Obama going to Denmark for one day on the tax-payers' dime--please explain President Bush's 5-day trip to China for the Olympics last year. I'm fine with both, but some people are REALLY trying to justify their (mostly irrational) hatred.


GUY B SAYS : A lot to do with timing! Bush, China vs. North Korea, good for Bush to be there. Obama, Olympics vs. Economy, Health Care, War, I don't know if Olympics is a priority.




GUY C SAYS: I can't say that I am a fan of Obama but if you look at his visit to bring the Olympics to the US as not a priority because of the Economy then you should think about this. The Olympics bring a lot of money to the host City.


GUY B SAYS: Yes it does, but most of the games wouldn't even be in Chicago, they would be spread out all over the region. And again, a short window of money while a good thing only last for that short period.


GUY D SAYS: Atlanta's the only US city to ever break even on the Olympics. Probably something to do with our wage and labor laws and standards. China being China, they can put on an Olympics for relatively next to nothing and then draw a huge profit. We're not China, though. Not yet...


GUY E SAYS: Disagree, cities lose money. Obama's pal J.L. would have made money cuz she could have sold her slums to the Olympic housing dudes. Now she has to pay out her wazoo to fix them up.


GUY E SAYS: And I forgot.. I agree , don't compare Bush to Obama. Instead lets look at how much money it took to send Michelle to Denmark since she just had to get over there earlier and couldn't wait on her hubby. Where is the global warming outrage for all those extra tons of pollutants her jet put out?


GUY B SAYS: Ah ha! The Obama Carbon Footprint!!


GUY E SAYS: And did you hear their pitch? Obama: Chicago should get the Olympics becasue I had a rough life. Michelle: Chicago should get the Olympics because my dad had M.S. How could the Olympic Committee say no after such a moving case? Who knew, the OIC must be rascist!


GUY F SAYS: I guess it doesn't matter that the leaders of the other countries with cities under consideration were also present in Denmark for the presentations.


GUY A SAYS: I swore I read that China took a huge loss on the Olympics...cheap labor and all. When you don't have the facilities, and you suddenly have to build 10 major sporting arenas for TWO weeks of revenue, you most likely aren't breaking even on that one.


GUY A SAYS: "let's look at how much money" argument is completely non sequitur. How many people were outraged that Bush traveled to China when "soldiers were dying in Afghanistan"?

Or if you want to drum up the faux-worry over the cost to the tax payer, then surely it is more expensive to send a Presidential entourage to China for 5 days than it is to send it to Denmark for one day. Mike has a point about timing, but still, this is more about peoples' inability to hide their biases.


GUY G SAYS: this whole "Oh my god, look at what Obama is doing!" thing is getting so old. I'm still holding out hope that the nation can move on to some reasonable critique (which there's plenty of room for), and stop this extended game of Simon Says where people are waiting with bated breath for him to move the wrong muscle.


GUY G SAYS: Not to mention the compulsion to see everything as a Bush/Obama comparison, which is also a rational discourse suppressant.


GUY H SAYS: I didn't look at it as political. I wanted Chicago to get it, and was happy to have the big names support it. I hate that they didn't get it.



GUY E SAYS: Anytime someone says something bad about Obama, the defense is "well look at Bush" . So whatever Bush did that was questionable or wrong clears the way for Obama to do same without question or criticism. Okay, now i got it.


GUY A SAYS: Ok, I have to credit the source of my comment. Dan Patrick of sports talk fame is the person who called out this faux-outrage. It is seriously this simple--why get upset that Obama went to Denmark when fill-in-the-blank-President went to the fill-in-the-year Olympics?

Personal Note

I still remember their little toes, their fingers.
I can see it like yesterday them looking at me after they were born.
I can feel their little bodies laying on me.
I remember their smell, their movements.
Best of all I still see all of those baby smiles.
Now they give me new memories everyday.
They learn, have fun, get bumps and bruises.
They can say my name, they can hug me, they can kiss me now.
They can miss me, as I do when they are away.
Now they run, play, walk, and they jump, I wonder Do they still need me?
Yes.. I answer because I still take care of them,make them better than they are, fix the hurts,
let them know God is here. I think my children are gifts from God and They are by far
My Best Accomplishments in my Life. Thank you God.

Glenn Beck: Another indoctrination video ( VIDEO IS ABOVE)

Audio Available:
September 24, 2009 - 13:22 ET


School kids taught to praise Obama

GLENN: Okay, I want to show you and tonight I'm going to play the tape for you, of indoctrination that is going on. We've been going through all of this indoctrination for the last few days. Tomorrow I do a full hour live with moms and their children, and we're going to talk a little bit, things they are concerned with and indoctrination I know will come up. Play this. This is do we know where this is from? Elementary school in Burlington, New Jersey at the B. Bernice Young Elementary School. The woman who did this is I believe an activist. She's a principal, the teacher. I don't have her name here, but listen. These are elementary schoolchildren and they are singing a song for Barack Obama.

PAT: First of all, the kid starts mouthing what he wants, what they want the whole group to do and then the whole group.

(Audio playing)

GLENN: They are saying Barack Hussein Obama and then they are talking about it. Can you skip to the and I'm going to read the this is really hard to it was really hard to understand them, but I'm going to give you the words here.

PAT: Here we go.

(Audio clip plays)

GLENN: Okay. Barack Hussein Obama. He said that all must lend a hand to make this country strong again, mmm.

(Audio clip plays)

GLENN: He says Barack Hussein Obama, he said we must be fair today; equal work means equal pay, mmm.

(Audio clip plays)

GLENN: Barack Hussein Obama, he said we must take a stand to make sure everyone gets a chance, mmm.

(Audio clip plays)

GLENN: Barack Hussein Obama, he said red, yellow, black or white, all are equal in his sight.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: Wow.

PAT: That used to be kind of sung about Jesus.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. All are equal in his sight.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: I actually asked

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: When the transcript was being read to me this morning, I actually asked, is that a capital or a small H, and it is a small H.

STU: Well, at least in our transcript it is.

GLENN: At least for the time being.

PAT: Wow.

STU: That's it could come right out of a hymnal.

PAT: It could. Yes, it could.

GLENN: A hymnal, hymnal for a dictator.

STU: That's

PAT: Or demagogue.

GLENN: Does anybody see what's going on? Does anybody see what's going on? How are so many good Democrats missing let me ask you this: How are so many of my Jewish friends missing what's going on? How? How? Did you not listen to what was happening yesterday in the United Nations? How are you missing this? Look, it doesn't matter if you voted for him. It doesn't matter here's one of my biggest fears. My biggest fear is too many people are afraid to then say, okay, I was wrong. You don't have to say you were wrong. You don't. And listen. If you were talking to your friends who voted for it, don't say that. Don't say, "I told you so." Don't say that. Celebrate that they are awakening. Don't make them say that they were wrong. Don't make them turn against their own party. Make them turn against the principles. Make them celebrate that they are waking up and standing with the principles that you know they believe in. That's it. Just fight for the principles and the values that you know you have in common with the people that are Republican, Democrat, and independent. The values have been distorted and abandoned and quite frankly spat upon in Washington. There's nobody, there is nobody that I know that is a Democrat that would agree with this, nobody. This is indoctrination. This should horrify the American people. And you can separate yourself from it all you want. You can say, well, that's not the Democrats that are doing that, that's not Barack Obama. You know what? Let me tell you something. How many, how many, not just signs of smoke, how many fires must we have before we have to say, okay, wait a minute. Look, if there was nobody in Barack Obama's administration that was into indoctrination, if Valerie Jarrett was not involved in the NEA indoctrination, in the propaganda, if we didn't have Van Jones in the administration, if we didn't have Tides putting out what we showed you earlier this week that is anticapitalist, if we didn't have all of these things that are not smoke, they're fire, I'd agree with you. This is just a crazy teacher, this is a crazy teacher. We've dismissed the people that, you know, are making those kids, you know, march in the military fatigues going, "For Barack Obama I..." okay, all right. Don't know. We don't know who these people are. But haven't we seen enough yet to say, whoa, wait a minute? I may have voted for the guy, but this is not what I had in mind.

three times a charm??

Once: you get caught and get called out? you should admit defeat!
Twice: you get caught and get called out ? you should admit to were wrong!
Third: You get caught and get called out? all hope is lost, you should accuse your accuser.

Bravo ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

This is Acorn's response to the many attacks on them:

The relentless attacks on ACORN's members, its staff and the policies and positions we promote are unprecedented. An international entertainment conglomerate, disguising itself as a "news" agency (Fox), has expended millions, if not tens of millions of dollars, in their attempt to destroy the largest community organization of Black, Latino, poor and working families in the country. It is not coincidence that the most recent attacks have been launched just when health care reform is gaining traction. It is clear they've had these tapes for months.

My source:http://www.acorn.org/

After all the video footage of the two "normal people" needing help to start their business and own their own home.
I guess we forget that Normal, means NOT being involved in Prostitution=which is defined as the act or practice of engaging in sex acts for hire.[1] In most cultures, prostitution is viewed as a deviant profession,[2] either discouraged or illegal.
However they were happy to help them at several Acorn offices.

But if they are not guilty why would all this happen:

By COREY BOLES

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly Monday to prevent Acorn, an umbrella group of community organizers, from being able to bid for federal grant money.

The 83-7 vote came as Acorn -- the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- has been in the spotlight for hidden-camera videos in which Acorn employees give tax advice to a couple posing as a prostitute and her pimp. Prosecutors in Florida last week issued warrants for several Acorn employees on allegations they falsified voter-registration records last year, and on Friday, the Census Bureau severed ties with the organization as it prepares for the 2010 count.

Two for Saturday.

The Census Director has sent a letter to the National Headquarters of ACORN notifying the group that the Census Bureau is severing all ties with the community organizing group for all work having to do with the 2010 census.

"Over the last several months, through ongoing communication with our regional offices, it is clear that ACORN's affiliation with the 2010 Census promotion has caused sufficient concern in the general public, has indeed become a distraction from our mission, and may even become a discouragement to public cooperation, negatively impacting 2010 Census efforts," read a letter from Census Director Robert M. Groves to the president of ACORN.

"Unfortunately, we no longer have confidence that our national partnership agreement is being effectively managed through your many local offices. For the reasons stated, we therefore have decided to terminate the partnership," the letter said.

Anti-Abortion Activist 'Targeted' in Killing
Saturday, September 12, 2009
PrintShareThis
AP

August 2002: Anti-abortion activist Jim Pouillon has a heated discussion with a Planned Parenthood employee in Owosso.

OWOSSO, Mich. — A man carrying grudges against several people in town set off on a shooting spree Friday morning, authorities said, killing an abortion protester outside a school because he didn't like that the activist carried a sign with graphic images of a fetus in front of students.

Before he was done, the gunman drove to a gravel pit and shot and killed the owner, apparently for different reasons, police said. Authorities believe they stopped a third killing by catching up with him before he could pull the trigger.

"The defendant had ill will toward these three individuals — not for the same reason necessarily, but had a grudge," said Shiawassee County Prosecutor Randy Colbry.

It started around 7:20 a.m. across the street at the high school, where James Pouillon stood with a sign that pictured a chubby-cheeked baby with the word "LIFE" on one side and an image of an aborted fetus with the word "ABORTION" on the other. Pouillon was a well-known activist in the town of 15,000, who often had one-man demonstrations outside area schools and city hall.

Harlan James Drake, 33, drove by the school Friday and gunned Pouillon down in front of horrified students and parents, Colbry said.

It was Pouillon's presence outside the high school that seemed to drive Drake to kill, said assistant prosecutor Sara Edwards.

Calling out?

Your going to Call us out? (the American public) whom have tried many
times and still continue too show You .
You continue to Not listen.
I thought you would come to a middle ground with the American People, yet I was disappointed again.
I now see you have more too say this morning about this great health care plan.
I will repost later after hearing your words of wisdom .

Note that I realize that not all American people see this health care reform as a Bad thing.
I think maybe because they don't know all the facts, or maybe they do and Don't care.




"The president had a chance, tonight, to take the government-run health care off the table. Unfortunately, he didn't do it," Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., said in the GOP response.

Boustany, a heart surgeon, said the public wanted Obama to tell Democratic leaders in Congress that, "it's time to start over on a common-sense, bipartisan plan focused on lowering the cost of health care while improving quality."

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., told FOX News that he found the speech "partisan" and full of "hyperbole."

But Obama's revised message may be aimed more at moderate Democrats who are posing hurdles to passage in both the House and Senate -- as well as a small handful of Republicans who could potentially be swayed to leap across the aisle without major concessions.

He said to Republicans, "My door is always open," but assailed the "bogus claims" he says his critics have pushed.

"But know this -- I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than to improve it. I won't stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are," Obama said.

More Information.

This information comes from Prolife.com

Have a great day and God Bless you.

The idea of emergency contraception —-or a morning-after pill—- is based on a theory. Under this theory, if a woman has unprotected sexual intercourse (without use of contraception, contraception failure or cases of rape) and fears she may become pregnant, she can take large doses of birth control pills to prevent a pregnancy.

Emergency contraception, essentially, is a high dosage of the birth control pill. It is recommended for use after sexual intercourse, over a period of 72 hours, to achieve the goal of preventing pregnancy.

There are three different ways birth control pills are currently being promoted for this use: progesterone alone, estrogen alone, or both of these artificial steroids together. Again, these are the same steroids found in the typical birth control pill.

Two of the most commonly used emergency contraceptive pills are Preven and Plan B.


Is Emergency Contraception Safe?

Not only could EC kill a tiny preborn life in its earliest stages, but the 'morning-after' pill is also very dangerous to a woman's health.

If one reads the patient information package insert for regular hormonal birth control (remember, emergency contraception is a mega-dose of the regular birth control pill), one will find that the side effects of hormonal contraceptives include:

Head/Brain

Cerebral hemorrhage (bleeding into the cranial cavity)
Cerebral thrombosis (blood clot that drains blood from the brain)
Melasma, which may persist (skin discoloration; usually dark, irregular patches)
Migraine
Headache
Dizziness
Eyes

Retinal thrombosis (blockage of the central retinal vein that carries blood away from the eye)
Change in corneal curvature (steepening of the cornea)
Heart/Blood

Thrombophlebitis and venous thrombosis with or without embolism (blood clots in the veins)
Mesenteric thrombosis (blood clot in the major veins that drain blood from the intestine)
Hemorrhagic eruption (bleeding eruption)
Arterial thromboembolism (blood clots in the heart)
Pulmonary embolism (arterial blockage, usually from a blood clot, that cuts off one lung's blood supply)
Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
Budd-Chiari Syndrome (closing of the veins that carry deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the heart)
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (kidney failure and low platelet count in the blood)
Dr. Ellen Grant, writing in the Lancet (2001) has expressed the concern that ". 5% of women have a genetic susceptibility to thromboembolic disease (blood clots)." When these women take the 'morning-after' pill - which is equal in strength to taking 50 regular birth control tablets - a blood clot might form. [Grant E. Adverse reactions and emergency contraception. Lancet. 2001;357:1201]

The dose of estrogen in the current birth control pill, which is erroneously billed as "safe", has potency four times greater than that of the estrogen used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT has been conclusively shown to increase the risk of stroke (41%), pulmonary embolism (113%), breast cancer (26%), and coronary heart disease (29%).

Morning After!

I saw this a few days ago in a commercial, I had forgotten all about it becoming legal to use over the counter.

My source:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/22/plan.b.age/index.html

Plan B, also called the morning-after pill, is intended to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex.

The Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday that the contraceptive will be available over the counter to 17-year-olds, as it currently is for women 18 and older.

Agency spokesman George Strait said Thursday the approval process for the change will not take long. "It's likely to be weeks, rather than months or years before it's approved," he said.

The FDA just needs to review the label changes from the drug's maker, Duramed, Strait said. Once that's done, the approval will be complete.

On March 23, a federal court ordered that Plan B, an emergency contraception pill, be made available over the counter to those 17 and older, the agency said in a statement on its Web site. The agency will not appeal that order, the statement said.

In the order, U.S. District Judge Edward Korman also asked the agency to consider whether the pill should be available to women of all ages without a prescription, saying that such a determination is best left to the expertise of the FDA rather than a federal district judge. Watch more on the Plan B controversy »

And he rebuked the FDA for apparently departing from its own procedures with respect to making decisions on the pill's over-the-counter status, noting the "unusual involvement of the White House in the Plan B decision-making process."

The plaintiffs in the case presented "unrebutted evidence of the FDA's lack of good faith" toward the application to switch Plan B from prescription to non-prescription use, the judge wrote.

"This lack of good faith is evidenced by, among other things, (1) repeated and unreasonable delays, pressure emanating from the White House, and the obvious connection between the confirmation process of two FDA commissioners and the timing of the FDA's decisions; and (2) significant departures from the FDA's normal procedures and policies ... as compared to the review of other switch applications in the past 10 years," Korman wrote.

In August 2006, the FDA approved the sale of Plan B without a prescription to those 18 and older, but those 17 and under needed a prescription to obtain it.

Labor Day

Labor Day: How it Came About; What it Means
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
Founder of Labor Day
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.
Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.

So far we have had 5 more days without W.M.= We have had visitors this weekend and they are trying to figure out why we would Not go to Sams and W.M well I tried to explain, But the reality is that neither one of these companies will even
lose sleep or money because of my one family. However I feel better that my family is taking a stand. No one need agree with me or like it, but that is the blessing of living in this Great country. WE Have Freedom of SPEECH!!

God Bless you, Have a great day.

Funnies

Day 9 & 10-
Still going strong, no visit to W.M.

I always like pictures, because they are worth so much more, you can see the message clearly.

I heard this the other day someone said "you don't miss what you don't have" it is so true.
I forgot to get cokes at the store, and have not even wanted one, just drinking more coffee and water.

Budget

Day 8

I have come to the conclusion, That giving up W.M. is the best thing for our household budget.
Most times when I used to Shop at W.M. I would easily spend much more than I planned, Impulse Buying.
So I am excited to see how much the household saves, in the near future.

Also Today, was church day, which is close to the Commissary( food shopping) All stocked up yet again.

Will bill give Obama control of Internet?
Proposed new powers called 'drastic federal intervention'
Posted: April 04, 2009
10:35 pm Eastern

By Drew Zahn
WorldNetDaily


Sen. John "Jay" Rockefeller, D-W.V.

A pair of bills introduced in the U.S. Senate would grant the White House sweeping new powers to access private online data, regulate the cybersecurity industry and even shut down Internet traffic during a declared "cyber emergency."

Senate bills No. 773 and 778, introduced by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., are both part of what's being called the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, which would create a new Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, reportable directly to the president and charged with defending the country from cyber attack.

A working draft of the legislation obtained by an Internet privacy group also spells out plans to grant the Secretary of Commerce access to all privately owned information networks deemed to be critical to the nation's infrastructure "without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access."

Who might be watching you without you knowing it? Get "Spychips" and see how major corporations and government are planning to track your every move!

Privacy advocates and Internet experts have been quick to sound the alarm over the act's broadly drawn government powers.

"The cybersecurity threat is real," says Leslie Harris, president of the Center for Democracy and Technology, which obtained the draft of S.773, "but such a drastic federal intervention in private communications technology and networks could harm both security and privacy."

"The whole thing smells bad to me," writes Larry Seltzer in eWeek, an Internet and print news source on technology issues. "I don't like the chances of the government improving this situation by taking it over generally, and I definitely don't like the idea of politicizing this authority by putting it in the direct control of the president."

(Story continues below)

According to a Senate document explaining the bill, the legislation "addresses our country's unacceptable vulnerability to massive cyber crime, global cyber espionage and cyber attacks that could cripple our critical infrastructure."

In a statement explaining the bill's introduction, Sen. Rockefeller said, "We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs – from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records – the list goes on."

Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, who is co-sponsoring the bill, added, "If we fail to take swift action, we, regrettably, risk a cyber-Katrina."

Critics, however, have pointed to three actions Rockefeller and Snowe propose that may violate both privacy concerns and even constitutional bounds:

First, the White House, through the national cybersecurity advisor, shall have the authority to disconnect "critical infrastructure" networks from the Internet – including private citizens' banks and health records, if Rockefeller's examples are accurate – if they are found to be at risk of cyber attack. The working copy of the bill, however, does not define what constitutes a cybersecurity emergency, and apparently leaves the question to the discretion of the president.

Second, the bill establishes the Department of Commerce as "the clearinghouse of cybersecurity threat and vulnerability information," including the monitoring of private information networks deemed a part of the "critical infrastructure."

Third, the legislation proposes implementation of a professional licensing program for certifying who can serve as a cybersecurity professional.

And while the critics concede the need for increased security, they object to what is perceived as a dangerous and intrusive expansion of government power.

"There are some problems that we face which need the weight of government behind them," writes Seltzer in eWeek. "This is not the same as creating a new federal bureaucracy setting rules over what computer security has to be and who can do it."

"It's an incredibly broad authority," CDT senior counsel Greg Nojeim told the Mother Jones news website, troubled that existing privacy laws "could fall to this authority."

Jennifer Granick, civil liberties director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Mother Jones the bill is "contrary to what the Constitution promises us."

According to Granick, granting the Department of Commerce oversight of the "critical" networks, such as banking records, would grant the government access to potentially incriminating information obtained without cause or warrant, a violation of the Constitution's prohibition against unlawful search and seizure.

"What are the critical infrastructure networks? The examples provided are 'banking, utilities, air/rail/auto traffic control, telecommunications.' Let's think about this," writes Seltzer. "I'm especially curious as to how you take the telecommunications networks off of the Internet when they are, in large part, what the Internet is comprised of. And if my bank were taken offline, I would think about going into my branch and asking for all of my deposits in cash."

S. 778, which would establish the Office of the National Security Advisor, and S. 773, which provides for developing a cadre of governmental cybersecurity specialists and procedures, have both been read twice and referred to committee in the Senate.


DAY 7

No need for W.M. I actually like Winn Dixie better anyway.

Day 5 & 6

Day 5-
We had to go to the store but Thankfully we have a Winne Dixie closer to us than W.M.
We purchased one and half dozen of eggs, and Tortillas.


Day 6-
We have to drop off our pet at the vet so we will be pretty close to other stores.

I found this I thought I would post it. http://www.catholic-pages.com/dir/prolife.asp
Click the fifth Commandment, too find more of the below information.



2318 "In [God's] hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind" (Job 12:10).

2319 Every human life, from the moment of conception until death, is sacred because the human person has been willed for its own sake in the image and likeness of the living and holy God.

2320 The murder of a human being is gravely contrary to the dignity of the person and the holiness of the Creator.

2321 The prohibition of murder does not abrogate the right to render an unjust aggressor unable to inflict harm. Legitimate defense is a grave duty for whoever is responsible for the lives of others or the common good.

2322 From its conception, the child has the right to life. Direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, is a "criminal" practice (GS 27 § 3), gravely contrary to the moral law. The Church imposes the canonical penalty of excommunication for this crime against human life.

Day 5 & 6

Thank for stopping by

Thanks Saudi Arabia

Thanks Bulgaria


For stopping By.

Day 3 & 4

Yesterday Day 3
Nothing much to go shopping for, I feed my family with the food in house. Three full meals and snacks included without
stepping foot into W.M.
My feelings on this is I had told some people about our decision to not shop at W.M. no longer.
Their comeback was were are going to shop. I realize that other food stores are becoming more and more
limited. Do You or I really know how W.M. can offer such low prices?

Today is Day 4.
I think most people when they realize what Big Government is trying to do with health care, the many Czars, the many things we as the American people are losing. So If I can stand up to W.M. and teach my children about Morals, Values, Tradition,Faith,Love,Honor.
I WILL!!
Once again no need to go to W.M. today. I am not even missing W.M.
Hope you all find in your heart something that inspires you or your loved ones. We should all be so lucky to find
something to feel our hearts with love for this once great Country we live in.

God has Blessed You and I...

letter from B

After I woke up I go to my trusted coffee pot making sure my preferred
creamer, Dulce De Leche (purchased at W.M) has once again made it's home in my fridge, with
the morning drowsiness of the morning I note how many Wal-mart brand
products harbor there. I shrug it off and take a grateful sip from my cup.( also purchased at W.M.)
The T.V. comes on as I update things on my computer. Somehow Wal-Mart
buts into My quiet time through my favorite News channel. Then that was it!
This is enough Wal- Mart junk! They seem to stand for everything I don't.
So that is it, even though I depend on Wal-mart too much, I'm cutting that
lifeline. But just so we are all clear, 100 days actually equals No more.
Silly Wal-Mart you have just lost a VALUED customer.

Original work of BMC


Day Two:
Shopped at Winn Dixie for (hot sauce, razors)

Shopped at a local sport store for a soccer ball.

The boycott, from our side!

So after much thought on how I could make a difference. At least for my family.
My Guy and I have come up with the idea.
We tried but failed awhile back when Walmart and Acorn became partners.
Now Since the big companies who depend on the consumers( which last time I checked is you and I )
We are making this a firm commitment, Even though times are hard and the economy is shrinking.
No more Walmart.
You see my family spend a bunch of money there buying( food,clothing,house ware,school supplies).
Basically everything you need, you can almost get is at Walmart.

However, I realize that many people in this country may not shop at Walmart.
I DID!! But NO MORE!!
We are going to post a little insert for everyday for 100 days of our life without WALMART.
In the promise to not ever go there again.
The 100 days starts 24 of August until the middle November( But my family and I plan to not ever shop there.)

Day One: Yesterday I stocked up at the Commissary. No need for Walmart.

I also have to get a soccer ball size 5 for my oldest, I will be going to a sports store. My oldest says we will be helping out the smaller businesses by doing this.

Boycott?? What??

So this has been ongoing for Glenn Beck, seems to have offended many. Let me clarify: A man(Obama) attends the church of Rev Jeremiah Wright and listens to his tirade against jews and "whitey". He does this for twenty years. If you hung out with Hitler for twenty years and he was a friend of your family would I not be just calling you a Nazi? So below is the list of companies who have Boycotted Glenn Beck and they pulled their advertisements from his show. Its time for people to wake up, big business does not care who is in the white house, they just support whoever it is, this is how they hedge their bets.

letter to Mr. Obama.

Okay so weeks ago I ask my children to write a letter to Mr. Obama:
Well One of them came through and I am just going to post a few lines from it.
First I have to say I am proud that this is my child, I am blessed that God has touched her.



Whatever you are planning it must be done with equality for all men,liberty,honesty and if
possible virtue. Anything good you will do can only be accomplished with God.
In every action that you do, do you sense God's presence ?YOU should, Cause He's there.
Make sure you are worthy of JESUS Promises.
Besides that remember that you are human.
Do you really Believe you can this without God's help? You can not!
Remember There are always two sides to History.
Don't describe them as Good and Bad, but rather God's and Bad.
No one can succeed without God except in what is wrong.
Don't think about what the future will be like for Your children for they will be
well taken care of.
Think of everyday people, what will they face because of your decisions?
May God Bless You.


Realize this that I did not share the full letter with you.
But when I read it I wished everyone would read it, But as I know people are being
put on spotlight for having their voices heard which do not directly reflect the governments plan .
I am NOT going to send it. But I am sharing it with you all.
