Brave Muslim Woman Speaks Out, Wins Contest

Click on the title to read a remarkable story about a Saudi Housewife who is not afraid to speak her mind through her poetry. I only hope I can be as brave as she is if the occasion calls for it. One commenter thought she was brave but questioned her wisdom. Sometimes you have to speak up even if it puts everything at risk. Otherwise nothing ever changes.

Death Panels "Will Save A Lot of Money"

According to Paul Krugman the so-called "death panel" outlined in Obamacare will save major amounts of money. I wonder how he will feel when the government applies such criteria to him or his family?

'Right Wing Brothers' May 'Attempt To Kill Obama'

So says Louis Farrakan, Nation of Islam leader and personal friend and advisor to President Obama. The fact that Farrakan and Cornell West, an extremist race relations instructor at Princeton, are his advisors demonstrates President Obama's true socialist leanings. More than ever we must take note of who he keeps closest to him.

Obama "Carefully" Sizes Up Tea Party

That's funny. Earlier I saw an article on Comcast News with a headline "Obama Calls Out Tea Party." Now it says he "Carefully Sizes Up Tea Party"(Click on the title to read it)! Which is it?? One thing for sure, he has once again demonstrated how out of touch he is with most of America by completely misreading the Tea Party. He has it backwards. The core is not the fringe, it's normal everyday people from all parties and walks of life who are concerned about what is going on in this country. It looks more and more like Obama is trying to cast normal everyday people as the enemy.

How Does HCR Affect Tricare and VA Medical Benefits?

Obamacare To Establish a Ready Reserve Corps

Was Christian Militia Targeted for Anti-Muslim Views? - ABC News

Was Christian Militia Targeted for Anti-Muslim Views? - ABC News Hmmm...guns and attacks against other groups are not the answer here. But the question is how much time is the FBI spending investigating Christians when they ought to be looking at the Islamic infiltration and influence in their own ranks as well as the other higher eschelons of government? Seems like this is just a ploy to villify Christians in the most convenient form possible. All Christians everywhere should take note of this. This group was an easy target for the FBI because they were on the fringe. But we need to be aware that one day soon all Christians will undergo persecution for the beliefs we hold. Now more than ever we need to look into our hearts and grow our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to know what we believe and stand for it no matter what the cost. It is time to reach out to others and spread the good news about Jesus' love and salvation while we still have time and while people will still listen.

A Massive 'Malestrom' For Political Incumbents

A little history about the 14th amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1866. We need to take another look at our immigration laws. The author makes a good case for the lack of constitutionality of conferring citizenship on children of illegal immigrants. We should pay close attention to this.

Sunday Reflections--A Profile In Courage

Click on the title to read about Theresa Salcedo Cao, a remarkable woman who evangelizes almost daily in front of the White House. She is calling for Christians everywhere to join her in prayers for our nation to return to God. Hers is a message of hope, love and deliverance and the message is so powerful even those that would persecute her leave her in peace or at least have not harmed her. She plans to blow the shofar during Holy Week to call people to God. There is a link to her blog in the article about the Holy Week events and I encourage all lovers of God everywhere to join her in Washington DC this week. You can find her easily. She will be in front of the White House. These are the kinds of rallies and events we need to be having now in addition to the political ones. It's not about politics, parties or movements anymore. It's about values, principles, real hope, real love, standing for the Lord, and preparation for Heaven. We must turn back to God, we must seek his kingdom, we must gather together to pray. If you can join her in DC, consider blowing your own shofar in your community and having local prayer gatherings. It is time to stand! May God's love, peace, true hope and blessing be with you as we enter Holy Week and reflect on Jesus' promise of salvation through His sacrifice.

America Condemns Obama's Rudeness, Reaches Out To Israel

I have never heard of such poor treatment of a delegation from any country, let alone a country that has been our ally since its inception. What could Obama be thinking?????????????? All I know is that the Bible has a lot to say about those who touch Israel, the apple of God's eye. We will no longer be blessed as a country if we stop standing for Israel. This is just one more instance of Obama leading us down the path of ruin.

State AGs Miss Target with Health Care Lawsuit says the Tenth Amendment Center

State AGs Miss Target with Health Care Lawsuit says the Tenth Amendment Center Some intriguing thoughts about a strategy to enact legislation on the state level to nullify Federal Health Care based on unconstitutionality. This seems to me a much stronger strategy than simply relying on the Supreme Court which has a poor track record ruling on social entitlements. Grass roots activists and Tea Partiers take note and talk this up in your meetings. This may be a very good option for us.

An Ominous Word

I never thought I would see the day when we would be writing about and talking about secession. I haven't thought about secession since studying the Civil War in school! Could we really be in the middle of a non-violent cival war right now? Wow...just wow...

No Sex Until Health Care Passes!

Apparently the Rock The Vote movement is advocating withholding sex from anyone who disagrees with you until health care passes. Well, now that it has passed I wonder who out there is getting any? Really, if this weren't so pathetic it would be hysterical! The people who came up with this idea have way too much time on their hands! Warning: there is sensual behavior and somewhat offensive language in the video but you really should see it. Hopefully not all kids in America are this silly or we are in a lot of trouble.

Are Tea Party Activists Suffering from ObamaCare Burnout?

Are Tea Party Activists Suffering from ObamaCare Burnout? The dems are counting on the Tea Party Movement losing steam. I like what the author says at the end of this piece, that our effectiveness depends on getting fiscal conservatives (I would say pure conservatives) into office. So lets pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and work together to elect such candidates to office. If we are to make a difference this is where we need to make it. I believe it is now time for Tea Party groups across America to unite as one and work on the local state and national levels to take back our country. This isn't about political parties anymore. This is about America and American principles and values. If we don't work together now we may not have a country to save in 2012. So lets buck up and get busy!!!! The first Revolutionary War wasn't won by quitters! They were exhausted, ill fed, sick and practically naked but they kept on. We must keep on.

Who's Exempted From Obamacare? Senior Staff Who Wrote The Bill

I certainly hope that this isn't true but if it is, wow.

THE REAL ARITHMETIC OF HEALTH REFORM

THE REAL ARITHMETIC OF HEALTH REFORM Shell game. Our poor kids.

WHAT IS FREEDOM?

Well, the healthcare bill has been passed, and here come the progressives, marching down the street in DC arm in arm, simulating the great people who locked arms in the civil rights marches of the past. There's only one difference. Those marchers of the past were fighting for the freedom of Blacks to pursue happiness and prosperity. To break the chains of discrimination that held Blacks down and prevented them from the opportunities that Whites were privy to. This was a heroic group of people that fought for true freedom and against government sponsored oppression. The frauds, marching in DC, celebrating another expansion of government power, were marching to celebrate government control. Lets see, the government has taken control of General Motors and Chrysler corp., the mortgage industries, the banking industries, the health care industry, you know what, I can't go on with all the areas of our society the government has taken over. Did you know that in the health care bill the government took over education loans. Now, people can't get a private loan to go to college. The federal government can now decide what colleges people can go to and which they can't go to by approving or disapproving college loans. They can also decide who gets to go to college and doesn't. If they pass crap and trade (oops, sorry. I meant cap and trade), the government will have control over everything inside our body, and everything outside our body. If you don't believe this, you don't know enough about what the legislation say's. I would advise you to read the actual legislation. This is all done by people who call themselves "Liberal" or "Progressive". Let's now take a look at those two words. First, let's look at the word liberal. The word liberal is based on the definition of one who believes in liberty. The definition of liberty is: Autonomy, immunity from arbitrary exercise of authority, political independence, freedom of choice, to think or feel or do just as one pleases, personal freedom from servitude or confinement or oppression. INDEPENDENCE!
This definition is nothing like the ideology of liberals. Liberals of today and recent history are in favor of big government that controls everything. They are for government forcefully taking the property that one person worked for, to give it to another. They are politically correct, deciding for everyone what is ok to say and what is not ok. If you break those rules you are called a racist, homophobe, or some other derogatory label. Like a scarlet letter you are branded. If you point out that entitlement programs, like welfare, have kept people, and even families, poor for generations instead of lifting them out of poverty, you are called heartless, mean, and told you don't care about the poor, even if every week you give money to ministries and charities to help the poor . The liberals look to force, not equality of opportunity, but equality of outcome. When you do this, all you do is stifle the people who would excel, and punish the people who produce. This kind of ideology is not liberal, it is controlling by authority.
Now let's look at the word progressive. It's root is in the word progress. The definition of this word is: To advance, development, improvement.
The United States of America was born out of an over controlling, over regulating, and over taxing government authority. In fact, all nations before that time, and after that time, have been, to different degrees, exactly that, over controlling, over regulating, and over taxing. The United States was the first nation to create a Constitutional Republic (we are not a democracy) that gave limited power to the central government. This system resulted in a country that has created more wealth, and become more powerful, and by the way, more generous, than any nation that has ever existed. Our standard of living is better than any other nation on earth. If you don't think so I'd like you to do two things. First, get into your car, which probably cost between 20 and 100 thousand dollars, and drive around and see how many other people are driving around in the same kind of cars. Do you see that in other countries? Why are we the number one consumers in the world? Because we have the money. It's a result of prosperity. Why do people from all over the world risk their lives to come here? I don't see millions of people fighting to get to other countries, and I don't see a whole lot of people who want to leave here. If you don't like it here, let me know and I will start a collection to pay for your way out. Most people below what we call the poverty line have two T.V's, own at least one car, and have food on their table every day. Compare that to poverty in other countries.
Because of this prosperity, we are also the most generous nation in the world. Give me another country that gives as much in private charity as we do! Going in the direction of the "liberals" or "progressives" has been done before. In fact, it's been done throughout history. That ideology is what communism, marxism, fascism, and monarchy's were born out of. That's not progress, it's regress. With liberty and freedom come the freedom to excel and become prosperous. Along with that comes the possibility of failing, and along with failure comes the chance to learn from it and not make the same mistake again. If you keep trying, you will eventually succeed. We can't stop failure through government legislation. The United States was, and is progress. But if we keep going in the direction we are headed, we will be no different than any other nation. America is not a magic place. It's not a place where, no matter what you do everything will be alright. America is just a name of a place where we happen to live. It is the Constitution and our way of life that make us what we are. If we do what every other nation does, we will be what every other nation is. Liberals or progressives or whatever they want to call themselves, seem to want to create some kind of imaginary utopia where no one fails, and every one is taken care of. If I'm going to be taken care of, why should I work so hard? Now. before you even think I don't know what I'm talking about, let me give you some backround,. I grew up at 158 st and Elton Avnenue in the Bronx, N.Y which was called the ghetto when I was young. Then at Gun Hill Rd in the Bronx. So unless you have grown up in a ghetto, and then in a neighborhood with drug possies on every corner, went to a gang filled high school nick named "The drug store", spent time in government run clinics, actually experienced government programs, spent time in the military after quitting school, gone a decade without health insurance, been evicted because you couldn't pay the rent, and had to fight foreclosure on your house, and numerous other life experiences that most liberals or progressives only talk about, DON'T LECTURE ME!
I will leave you with two quotes to think about that I see as basic truths.

George Washington: "The Constitution provides you the "RIGHT" to "PURSUE" happiness. You have to catch it yourself."

Alexis de Toqueville, French political philosopher and historian: " America is so enamored with equality, that they would prefer to live under the equality of servitude and slavery, than the inequality of freedom"

I really hope that Toqueville was wrong, but I don't think he was.
Prior to this I haven't ever signed out under my real name. From now on I will. I want people to know who I am!

This is Bob "Paul Revere" Skillman reminding you, "THE RED COATS ARE COMING"

The only way to know what is really in there is to read the whole bill. Also the regulations still have to be written so the devil is still in the details. More to come.

It is eye opening to read the comments and find out what corporations donate to which candidates! If you choose this method, make sure you stay legal to prevent any backlash from the other side.

No US Flag In Haiti

I can't believe we are forbidden to fly our flag in Haiti. Are the other countries who are flying their flags presuming to be occupying forces? I don't think so. Does flying our flag there have to have a territorial meaning? Since we are providing most of the money and support shouldn't we be allowed to fly our flag in return? We can only knuckle under so much before we totally lose the respect of the world. How much longer are the American people going to put up with this?

The bill still has to go for markup so they need at least until the end of the week before the vote can take place. We don't have much time to read it and make our objections known to Congress. If you don't have time to read the whole thing, look at the table of contents and pick out the things that concern you the most and then work on other sections as you have time. Let's put everything that we have into this final push! Keep up the pressure!!!

EDITORIAL: Obama's sick obsession - Washington Times

EDITORIAL: Obama's sick obsession - Washington Times To me this is a perfect way to describe what is happening to Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Congress and dems in general. They have gotten so focused on their legislative "holy grail" that they can no longer see the big picture or hear the voices of warning. Not only do they not see or hear, they do not care if they see or hear. The journey to any holy grail is never so dangerous or elusive as when the grail is within reach. For the dems it's just too close not to go for it. They have to reach, they just have to, regardless of the consequence. The question now is are there any rational legislators left in Congress who are courageous enough to destroy the grail and break the obsession. Let's hope so--and pray so.

There are some excellent comments attached to this editorial and I hope that you will check them out. I particularly like the comment from Soldier 4110 who reminds us of God's providence. We need to remember that God is ultimately in charge and can work through anything and anybody according to His purpose. If this bill passes, God will use it to his glory. Check out Isaiah Chapter 45 in the Bible. It is a great chapter on how God used bad situations and even one of the most awful kings in the ancient world to carry out His purpose. At the end of the chapter God reminds us that "to me every knee shall bow and every tongue shall swear allegiance." It is one of my favorite chapters to read when I become discouraged about the government and about people. It helps to know the end of the story especially when getting to the end becomes rough. So be of good cheer! We know the end of the story and that knowlege will help us stay strong and keep fighting!

Parliamentarian's ruling deals blow to healthcare reform chances - TheHill.com The plot thickens and curdles! Geez, it's beyond my ability to explain what is going on with health care now. I have never seen such corruption and blind determination to pass a bill in my life.

Tea Partiers to 'Surge' Capitol Hill

Click on the link in the article to sign the Freedom Works petitition demanding that Congress resist reconciliation on health care. If you are anything like me right now you are probably sick and tired of hearing about health care. Maybe you wish it would all just go away. But it won't go away, especially if the bill gets passed. We have gotten this far in the process by keeping up the pressure on our reps and that's what we need to keep doing right to the very end. So let's get out there and keep fighting! Keep writing, calling, faxing, emailing your reps! Keep it up!

WWII female pilots win belated recognition - Washington Times

WWII female pilots win belated recognition - Washington Times

Go WASPs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recognition of your services is long past due! I have read many accounts and even met some of these incredible women, through the WIMSA Memorial in Washington DC. Their stories are great adventures, as these were women operating in a man's world and making a difference in the war effort.

Obama Family Health Care Fracas

Dr Wolf, the author of this article is a cousin of Barack Obama. He courageously makes some excellent points about what Obamacare will mean to physicians and how it creates the illusion of containing costs by artificially setting prices. There is nothing in the current health care legislation that effectively addresses cost of care. If this bill passes, the government will control health care and we will still have patients who have to choose between paying for food and paying for medications.

Health Care Horse Race Nearing Finish LIne?

I don't want to think of the arm twisting, bribes and other measures it took to get the Pelosi and the Dems close to a vote. It is just downright sickening. But now is not the time to give up. We must take a stand, keep up the pressure and continue the fight. Write, call, email, fax, visit your reps and make your voice heard!!

Caretaker By Day; Jihad Jane by Night

Scary! It just goes to show you that anyone could fall sway to Islam and the concept of Jihad. No one is immune. It is now more important than ever to know what you believe and to take a stand.
