On this Blog I like to express my conservative view on some issues. Here is a great idea.
Yes, Christmas cards. Please include the address below when putting together your lists this year.
Want to have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this year.
As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world..
Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it.
Here's the address, just don't be rude or crude.
ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York , NY 10004
Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions. So spend 44 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a " Holiday Tree". It's always been called a CHRISTMAS TREE!
And pass this on to your email lists. We really want to communicate with the ACLU! They really DESERVE us!!
For those of you who aren't aware of them, the ACLU, (the American Civil Liberties Union) is the one suing the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas or anything religious away from us. They represent the atheists and others in this war. Help put Christ back in Christmas!

A Conservative view of the trials...
I came across this comment on my friends blog. Click on the link for the entire story. This reader could not have said it better. My conservative view of this entire debacle is simple. As I commented on her blog I think Judge Judy would do a far better job than some ACLU favoring left wing lunatic Judge. How could Holder and Obama see it any different? It's easy. They hate this country of ours. Their Liberal views will destroy everything that has made this country GREAT. Conservatives in America must rise and take this country back in 2012. My fellow Americans our liberties are eroding fast. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Rangel, Holder and the rest of these clowns need to get their PINK SLIPS soon.
This is common sense which is foreign to the KOOL AID drinking crowd who supports this administration.
These BUBBAS AMERICANS who sit home and watch Jerry Springer and American Idol should be ashamed of themselves. They will continue to put party first instead of country. This is shameful. We could have Albert Einstein running on the Republican ticket and PeeWee Herman running for the Dems and you know who the hell these people would put in office.
On the other hand I will say this now and I am willing to take the heat that will follow.
African Americans loved the Clinton administration before this empty suit called Obama showed up at the last Democratic Convention. I will never and I repeat never believe that African Americans voted for this man for any other reason than the color of his skin. If this guy had been white they would have elected Hillary in their primary. Tell me, what did this guy have to offer? You mean to tell me that this HOPE and CHANGE bull???? really won them over? Do not insult my intelligence. I am pissed off and will not sit back and allow these idiots (liberals) to destroy this country that I love.

Backward Trials – Les Lawrence 11-17-09
Why has the media missed the trial contradictions? The Fort Hood trial involves a Muslim American terrorist in a military tribunal. The New York trial involves a foreign terrorist given a civilian trial with all the rights of a US citizen. What is wrong with this picture? The effect of this inversion of rights, benefits Islam in both cases. Much of the Fort Hood case will be private, thus not exposing the Islamist ideology of Hassan. The New York situation, on the other hand, will be a media circus for years. The danger is that it will be a bully pulpit for the most radical Muslim propaganda, and worse, an exceptional opportunity to recruit home grown terrorists. Furthermore, it will be a political punching bag of the Bush administration and the CIA. Just as President Obama’s unprecedented bows to the Saudi King and the Japanese Emperor, the United States is bowing to Islam via these trials.

One quick note...
By the way Mr. Obama you and your administration made the decision to prosecute these animals in NYC. You wanted the whole world to see how our Judicial System in this country is fair to everyone and it works. Therefore Mr. President stop going on National TV and calling these men GUILTY because I would like to remind you that in this country we are innocent until proven guilty. You cannot have it both ways. This man could not run the neighborhood candy store. You LIBERALS put him up there and we CONSERVATIVES will get him out. Please feel free to add your comments.Stay tuned...
Going Rogue...

Sarah Palin is on her book tour and folks I have seen her on several of her interviews. This is the new Sarah Palin. My friends she sounds very confident speaking about the issues and believe it or not without the use of a teleprompter. Like her father said she has not retreated she is just reloading.This woman has been doing her homework and the so called main stream media is not going to have their way with her anymore. She sounds informed on the issues and very articulate. Unlike Robert Gibbs and our teleprompter reading President who cannot put a sentence together without the um, um ,um thing going. There is no hesitation on her part when replying to any question posed to her. I have seen her on several of her interviews and folks this is a strong woman ready to tackle the establishment. If she grew crowds during her campaign alongside the inept John McCain then this time around it is going to be greater. It was a learning experience for her on that campaign trail last year. This time around she is equipped with the confidence and grasp of the issues expected from our leaders. The Dems better watch out because the month of November has been a total disaster for this administration although you will not hear that from this state run media. This month has been a total debacle for them. From the economy to the Ft. Hood shootings to the decision to prosecute these terrorists in NYC to the health care debate, cap and trade, troops to Afghanistan, nuclear weapons in Iran and to add insult to injury another failed trip overseas, these people are lost. I did not think any administration could be as bad as Jimmy Carter's but these people are really out of their league. To the lame stream media they are the best thing since sliced bread and will continue to do their dirty work because to them Obama is too big to fail. That is why their viewers are fleeing and they have no credibility anymore with the American people. Just like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest they have been taking it from Fox News, a fair and balanced news network. Sarah please keep calling these people out and we will prevail. Please feel free to add your comments.Stay tuned...

Civilian trial for KSM...
This civilian trial for KSM (which will take years) is just another ploy by the Dems to put Bush and our CIA on trial. They will have the ACLU do their dirty work for them. If for some reason this does not work and they get off on some technicality it will not matter to them because they would have done their damage and will be long gone. By the time these trials are over Obama’s presidency would have been a thing of the past. The hatred for former President Bush is so great that they cannot let it go. Cowboy Diplomacy or not President Bush kept us safe. I cannot say the same for this administration. They have only been in office for about 11 months and we have already had a taste (Ft. Hood) of what is to come. I hate to say it but you heard it here first...do not be surprised if these terrorists notch it up another level and start strapping bombs to themselves and as suicide bombers blow themselves up at your local McDonalds. Innocent lives will pay the price in our own neighborhoods just as they do in Israel. We are in harms way and I do not feel safe anymore knowing that this President is so soft on animals of this kind. We will be attacked on our own soil again and again unless we put someone in office that will uphold the oath he took to protect this nation. Stay tuned...

The Dithering Continues...
I know that I have written about this issue several times but it is very important to me. What is the delay now on sending additional troops to Afghanistan. Mr. President make your decision. This is not like choosing your White House pet. Our men and women are in danger and as you prolong this decision this is escalated on the battlefield. Either get them the additional help they need or bring them home. It is not right for our soldiers to keep putting their lives on the line when they do not have the help that our Generals have requested. President Obama spoke of a new strategy months ago. He replaced the acting General there with his own, General McChrystal. General McChrystal has requested the additional troops and our President is still undecided. What is it with this man that he finds it so difficult to take a stand. He took an oath to defend this country yet when it comes to national security he has always dithered. During press conferences when he is asked we cannot get a straight reply from him. Is this what we want from our President? Or would we prefer someone who can make a decision and stand by it regardless of how the political winds are blowing. Playing politics with such a crucial situation is outrageous and immoral. Our men and women need our complete support and they are certainly on the short end. What in the world is he doing in Asia when we have so many issues here to deal with. What nonsense is he taking care of in China? Who the hell cares? He better get his priorities straight. I have no idea when this man is on the job. He has taken more trips than his predecessors and has only been in office for close to a year. Air Force One is one big toy for him. When he is not out of the country he is on TV in campaign mode. Can someone please tell him that he has been elected and the elections are over. Mr. President please stay in your office and get some work done like the rest of us. Stop running away from the issues because they will be there on your return. I have no idea when this man works. I get up every morning and get the job done just like most Americans do. This man is living it up like a Rock Star. He is either on tour or performing on National TV. I am sick and tired of seeing his image on my tube day in and day out. Mr. President get to work like the rest of us and perhaps we can resolve some of these critical issues that our country faces TODAY. If not then we will got to work in 2012 and send you where you belong, to the unemployment offices. Stay tuned...

Obama has abs of steel...
In the name of all Americans Obama again bends over and grabs his ankles. The White House will say that he was working his abs this time. After all he is pretty fit. Abs of steel but when it comes to foreign policy he is full of mush.
Here is a story that appeared on Newsmax written by Daniel Ruddy...
![]() | |
| President Obama created a new presidential precedent when he bowed to the Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko Saturday. No president of the United States in the more than 230 years since the country was founded in 1776 had ever bowed to a member of royalty. That was until Barack Obama’s presidency. In April, President Obama bowed to the Saudi king during the G-20 meeting. At the time, Obama’s deferential bow was somewhat obscured, and the White House insisted that the president simply had leaned forward to shake the king’s hand. But the president's recent demonstration of royal deference to the Japanese emperor and empress suggests his earlier action was no aberration. What should we make of this? Is it trivial to worry about what on its face could easily be interpreted as nothing more than a polite gesture by our president to respect the culture of a country? America was founded on republican virtues — small “r,” that is. Like the French Republic, our nation does not recognize royalty or social rank, especially from officials of the republic. The conduct of our president when he deals with foreign leaders is a serious matter. After all, he represents the American people and our Constitution. Indeed, when President Obama bows before a foreign leader, the whole country bows with him. It is difficult to grasp what President Obama’s motives are for bowing to foreign royalty (it would be nice if a reporter asked his press secretary Robert Gibbs why he does it). But Obama’s motives do not really matter when we consider his behavior. What matters is how the rest of the world will interpret his actions. When it comes to bowing before foreign leaders, there is a fine line between showing politeness and servility, between respect and weakness. The United States leads the free world, and it goes without saying that our president as commander in chief is duty bound to protect the nation, and our allies by treaty. He should act in such a way that strengthens, not weakens, his position. If we as American citizens wonder about how our president should act with foreign leaders when he meets with them in person, let us look to the history of the United States for guidance. First, there is our cherished Constitution. When the Founding Fathers wrote it, they made abundantly clear their distaste of the hereditary forms of government that then dominated Europe. Article I, section 9 of the U.S. Constitution states: "No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State." As the nation’s first constitutional leader, President George Washington set the tone. When it was proposed that he be called “His Highness the President of the United States of America and the Protector of Their Liberties,” Washington scoffed at the idea and demanded he be called simply, “Mr. President.” No president better exemplifies the republican virtues of the country than Thomas Jefferson, who had a purely American disdain for the pretensions of royal power which he believed were not legitimately derived from the people. As he stated so eloquently in the Declaration of Independence, power was not derived from bloodlines or royal coronations. Instead he argued that since “all men are created equal” a government should exist by “deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Jefferson’s breezy indifference to the English monarchy was on display during his first days in the White House. When the monarch’s new ambassador to the United States called for the first time to present his credentials he was not required to bow in front of the nation’s sovereign. In accordance with American values, he was assumed to be an equal, not a subject. And so all he had to do was walk up to the White House and knock on the door (there were no guards or royal attendants). Once he was beckoned inside, "a tall, high-boned man came into the room. He was dressed, or rather undressed, in an old brown coat, red waistcoat, old corduroy small-clothes much soiled, woollen hose, and slippers without heels. I thought him a servant,” said the visitor, “when General Varnum surprised me by announcing that it was the president." According to the historian Henry Adams, the casual dress and easy-going manners of the new president were more important than they might seem at first glance. “The seriousness of Jefferson's experiments in etiquette,” Adams observed, “consisted in the belief that they were part of a political system which involved a sudden change of policy toward two great powers. [They] were but the social expression of an altered feeling which found its political expression in acts marked by equal disregard of usage.” The British ambassador and other diplomats to the United States were offended by Jefferson’s refusal to follow the rules of the Old World, but that did not matter to Jefferson or his countrymen, who re-elected him with a resounding majority of popular support. Jefferson understood that symbolism was important. Another president who promoted this egalitarian ideal was Franklin Roosevelt. In 1939 he invited the king and queen of England to visit the United States to bolster Anglo-American unity in the face of the growing fascist threat. Roosevelt never bowed to the king or queen — or any foreign royalty, for that matter. On this special occasion, he simply demonstrated American hospitality. As the British journalist Alistair Cooke detailed: “Roosevelt took them [the Royal couple] off to Hyde Park [his Hudson River estate] and drove his own hand-run automobile into the grounds and gave them a hot dog lunch. Well, this was a shocker to the British, but it's the thing he would do. You see, he was a natural aristocrat, Roosevelt was. He didn't have to put on airs.” Roosevelt was also an American through and through and secure in his standing as a world leader. There is a lesson here for President Obama, who appears intent on upending more than two centuries of American protocol. When he as president bows before a Saudi king or a Japanese emperor, he is sending an implicit message to millions of people around the world that the leader of the free world accepts the notion that some people are born to a higher rank than others. But when our president stands up straight and extends his hand in friendship to all civilized nations, there is no danger, there is only opportunity — opportunity to communicate the values and spirit that Jefferson so eloquently conveyed to the rest of the world — “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” |

Making a mockery of our courts...
Today Attorney General Eric Holder held a press conference to announce his decision to prosecute five of the 9-11 co-conspirators in our Federal Courts. He also mentioned that others will be prosecuted by a Military Commission. We now have two separate sets of Justice in our country. He explained the different factors that he took into consideration when determining who would be tried by our Department of Justice and who would be tried by the Defense Department. According to him the five being tried by our Justice Department committed crimes involving civilians while those to be tried by our Defense Department committed their crimes against our military. My friends this was an act of WAR and it belongs in the hands of a Military Commission. These animals are going to use this opportunity to spew their hate of this country and make a complete mockery of the entire process. This is outrageous.
I hate to think that these animals could get off because of some stupid technicality. It happens all the time when our courts are involved. Remember the incompetence of Judge Ito during the OJ Simpson trial? It is frightening. The rules all of a sudden change. I would think that some of the evidence which was gathered through the use of water boarding would not be admissible. These animals have already confessed to these terrorist acts. They wanted to plead guilty last December and were willing to die as martyrs for their religion. The bottom line is that we will pay the price. The only thing that will be on trial will be our country. Believe me they can find a leftist Judge out there who hates this country and is willing to put us on trial. Our interrogation techniques will be back on the news and a lot of our Government intelligence will be exposed. The State Run Media will have a feast. They will be putting the lives of those who have defended this country (CIA) in jeopardy. This will turn into a circus and a platform for these low lives to spew their rhetoric.

"Tear down this wall"
Today thousands gathered in Germany to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Our delegation was represented by our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who spoke to the crowd. Our President Obama who did not attend also spoke to the crowd from a location here in the USA. I was surprised that not once did either one of them mention the name of Ronald Reagan. History will tell us that he was one of the greatest Presidents of this century. He was fighting communism since his days as an actor. The Writers Guild was full of people that were attracted by this form of government. Ronald Reagan stood up then although he was in the minority. In a speech on June 12th 1987 at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin he said the following words, "Mr. Gorbachev open this gate, Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall." Yet it is sad that his name was never mentioned today by any of our leaders representing us the USA. President Reagan played a major role in the demise of the Soviet Union as well as the end of the Cold War yet our politicians of the opposite party cannot appreciate such a historic accomplishment.

Let me see if I understand all this....
* IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR...
* IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY.
* IF YOU CROSS THE AFGHAN BORDER, YOU GET SHOT.
* IF YOU CROSS THE TURKEY BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN PRISON!
BUT, IF YOU CROSS THE U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET:
· A DRIVERS LICENSE
· A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD
· WELFARE
· FOODSTAMPS
· AND, FREE HEALTH CARE?
Oh well sure. That makes perfect sense.

I received this email from a friend this morning...
On Friday, I called my cardiologist to see if he could see my son who needs to get a heart check up -- the next appointment available was is in mid December -- nevertheless, since I have been a patient of his for over 15 years, I have his cell number and contacted him directly explaining my son's situation. The doctor called me this morning at home -- first, he apologized for not getting back to me sooner and second, he told me that unfortunately, at Mt. Sinai Hospital, the new Obama health care reform system is being installed and it's very sad because now doctors are not allowed to see a certain amount of patients a day, YES PEOPLE, HE IS BEING LIMITED AS TO THE AMOUNT OF PATIENTS AND MIND YOU, THIS WAS VOTED IN YESTERDAY -- SO WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU, THIS ADMINISTRATION WAS GOING TO STICK TO US NO MATTER WHAT, ISN'T THAT AMAZING? -- YES, PEOPLE, HEALTH CARE IS GOING TO BE RATIONED -- BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I heard it from my own cardiologist at Mt. Sinai Hospital -- my cardiologist as well as many, many other doctors and health care professionals ARE NOT CONTENT/HAPPY with this new health care reform -- but SINCE THE PEOPLE, LOVELY AMERICANS DID NOT STAND UP AND PUT A STOP, WELL, RATIONED HEALTH CARE IS HERE -- hahaha -- now guess what, don't you people think that just because you have private health insurance that we are going to be any better -- HEY, WE MAY ALSO EVENTUALLY HAVE TO TAKE THAT PLAN BECAUSE MR. O AND HIS ADMINISTRATION are targeting for that -- it's only being kept quiet -- hahahahaha -- I am sooooo pissed off, nevertheless, my cardiologist said that he took an oath to help people and even if it meant that he would not get reimbursed, that he didn't care -- now that is a doctor -- but for all those who didn't take a stand -- may God have mercy on us and may we learn to confide and trust God, begin to take care of your health by proper diet and exercise, lose weight, work on fixing any health risks, get plenty of rest, take vitamins, love, get rid of anger, bitterness,resentment, don't worry, cast all anxiety upon the Lord and wait for His return cause my friends, we are heading into some serious, treacherous times.

Mr. President, what's up with the troops?
I heard this morning that Obama is postponing sending additional troops to Afghanistan until at least November 11th. Coincidence? No. I then heard chief strategist David Axelrod say yesterday that Obama would make his decision within weeks. I have been warning you that his decision would not come until the Gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey were official. That is sad. This decision should have been made a long time ago. General McChrystal advised the need for 40,000 additional troops two months ago. It is unfortunate that a decision of this magnitude would be tied to politics. His midnight trip to Dover Air Force Base to meet with our fallen men and women on their return home was just a photo op. If he truly cared for their well being then he would send them the help they need. Why all the cameras? President Bush used to do the same but in private. There were never any cameras around. He met with the families of our fallen heroes in private. He never used any of these occasions as a photo op. This President is still in campaign mode. Someone must tell him that he is now President and Commander in Chief and the election is over. He needs to stop campaigning take off the gloves and honor the oath he took to protect this country. Mr. Obama the campaign is over. Stop the photo ops and the many appearances on television and start governing. Stay tuned...

Please keep Gibbs around...
This was probably one of the best replies this man has ever given to a question in the briefing room. No "umm,umm,umm" thoughout the entire 1.5 minutes. Why? Because it was all about nonsense and not a reply that required much thought. This man cannot articulate anything. President Obama has to be embarrassed by now. I am sure there have been discussions to replace him. Because after all they told us when he was hired that he was going to be the most articulate White House Press Secretary we had ever seen. Tony Snow would run circles around this guy. Mr. President please keep him around. It shows how you and the rest of your crowd is not up to the task. It shows how incompetent this entire administration is. He could have been a great tap dancer. No one can ever get a straight answer from this guy or anything that makes any sense. There are a lot of empty suits in this administration starting with the President himself...stay tuned...

What hypocrisy from Charles Rangel...
This was posted on Politico yesterday by Glenn Thrush. It is unbelievable. This man is the Chairman of the House and Means Committee. They write tax laws. He is a tax cheat himself and if the House Democrats had any morals they would actually ask for his resignation. Yet he is sponsoring a Bill of this nature. These are the same Democrats who approved another tax cheat Timothy Geithner as our Treasury Secretary.
Rangel introduces offshore tax-cheat bill
Every tax bill introduced by House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) is getting the once-over from the GOP, so it's no surprise they took note of a bill, introduced by Rangel and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) cracking down on offshore tax cheats.
The “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2009” -- introduced by Baucus and Rangel in conjunction with the Obama administration -- would mandate Individuals with offshore accounts provide details and list them on tax returns. Rules governing trusts would be "significantly strengthened" to prevent the true beneficiaries from hiding front entities.
“This bill offers foreign banks a simple choice – if you wish to access our capital markets, you have to report on U.S. account holders,” said Rangel, in a statement posted on the committee's homepage. “I am confident that most banks will do the right thing and help to make bank secrecy practices a thing of the past.”
Rangel has never been accused of committing any of the tax shelter shenanigans the bill targets, but he has admitted to underreporting assets on his House financial disclosure forms and reportedly failed to document income from a condo he owns in the Dominican Republic.
And that prompted this response from a National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Tory Mazzola: “Is tax-cheat Charlie Rangel really the best watchdog?... Maybe it’s because he knows where the loopholes are. He’s taken ‘do as I say not as I do’ to an embarrassing new low.”
Here is from an article on March 3rd, 2009...
The pot has issued the kettle an ultimatum: tax dodgers beware.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who was forced to fork up $34,000 in unpaid back taxes, told the House Ways and Means Committee Tuesday that the Obama administration will be going after people who avoid and evade taxes.
How about starting with his own administration first.

Still no troops...
It is close to 60 days and our President is still playing politics with our men and women in harms way. He is still thinking about whether to send additional troops to Afghanistan or not. Just like it took him months to decide what kind of dog to get for the White House. This is much more serious than that but his hands are tied by the kooks on the left. I heard rumors last night that he may send half of the troops (20,000) requested by General McChrystal. He appointed this General himself relieving the General that was in charge before. He said McChrystal would bring a new strategy. He has but Obama is not listening because of the upcoming elections on Nov.3rd where there are close races in NJ and Virginia. Two pivotal states he must carry in 2012. Some of you of the opposing view will say, " Some is better than nothing, you Republicans are never satisfied." That is a moronic statement to make. Your experts on the ground advice you they need an additional 40,000 troops. That is what they are there for, to lead and make those decisions. Yet our president who has never run a candy store wants to dictate to our experts there how to manage this war. My friends if we are in this war we are there to win. Squash the enemy with full force and then get our troops home. So far this month of October we have lost 55 of our brave men and women. Our President does not care. If he did he would take the advice of our Generals. Our men and women are dying and this man has no strategy and when one is proposed by the experts he plays politics with their lives. He is not even communicating with his field Generals on an ongoing basis. If he cared he would be on the phone periodically with these men. How can a CEO of a corporation successfully manage his business if he does not hold meetings with his staff on a regular basis? He cannot, and that is what our Commander in Chief is doing, stay tuned...

NJ Gubernatorial Race-Nov. 3rd
Guys this race along with the race in Virginia are very important if we want to hold on to our liberties. It is very close because there is an Independent (Chris Daggett) playing the spoiler role and taking votes from the GOP candidate Chris Christie. John Corzine the incumbent is getting lots of money from the DNC. He had a visit from Obama the other day to help give him a boost. We need to get the vote out in these two races if we want to hold on to our freedoms.

Funny but true...
COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE
CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq .... Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for
over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE
10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this -- you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians .... it creates a hostile work environment.
Also, think about this ... if you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone --
YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is time for America to speak up!

Old news but worth seeing again...
This man is totally classless. In this interview he does what Democrats do best, name calling. He also made me crack up when he said that James Carville has principles. Listen to it...Even Democrats are appalled.

Just a smoke screen...
The Obama administration has picked a fight with Fox News for the last few months. They have sent out their top guns Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod the other day to do some of his dirty work. They both claimed that Fox News was not a legitimate news organization. Obama himself has constantly whined about the coverage he gets from Fox News. You see the state run media has fallen in line like nice little boys and Obama can do no wrong. Not the case at Fox News. Fox is the bad one here for presenting both sides of the story. But Fox does this only during their opinion based programming. They always bring someone of the opposing view which is more than I can say about the other networks. But you see when reporting the news there are not two sides to a story. News networks are supposed to report the story as it is and we the viewers decide. That is why Fox's motto is "WE REPORT, YOU DECIDE." Their job is not to give us their perspective on the story. Their job is to report the news. That is why there was little coverage on Van Jones, Acorn and the other damaging stories out there. If they report on these things it looks really bad for this administration. So they have stayed away from pieces that would hurt Obama. Fox News has not and have reported on these scandals because it is their job to inform the public on any developing story. They do not decide for us what we should and should not hear about this administration. My friends the Acorn story was a big one yet the state run media did not report on it. This is very dangerous. We cannot let any administration control the Press. Our liberties/freedom are eroding right before our eyes and some Americans just don't care. They are too busy listening to shows like Jerry Springer and American Idol. Now why would an administration pick a fight with a major news network? That does not make sense and is a losing battle every single time. Fox News has more listeners than the rest combined. Yet who is advising Obama to continue this nonsense? Why does he insult the viewers of Fox News when he is the President of all Americans not just of those that agree with him. There are many independent voters with no party affiliation who listen to Fox. My take is that this is all a SMOKE SCREEN to pass his HEALTHCARE bill. The lights have been turned off and his advisers want him to continue wasting all this positive energy on something that is actually helping Fox News. Their ratings have sky rocketed. Why do they continue to do this? Because when the lights are turned back on this Government run Healthcare Bill will have passed. This is his most important piece of legislation and he has promised over and over again that before the end of the year we will have a Government run Healthcare program. He has placed all his eggs in one basket and there is no turning back. Our freedom to choose which healthcare package is good for our families will have been taken from us. And we all know that the Government cannot run anything yet some Bubbas Americans are letting this happen. We are losing our freedoms and if he is there for two terms America will not look the same. Our men and women have fought wars throughout the years to preserve our freedom. We cannot let one man steal these from us. It is our choice to act or pay the consequences later, Stay tuned...
