The article below is a very thought provoking article. No rational nation should willfully take this risk and put itself in this position. Be it Hitler, Mao or Chavez the socialists often first get in power through a popular election. After that they change the nation to conform to their own image. Do you really think Obama will not attempt to do that? If so you are naive. He will have the Congress in his pocket and he will appoint to the Supreme Court only those that believe in a living Constitution. That means the end of the America that your forefathers set up.

Why is Obama now in this position? Ask Oprah? Ask the CFR. They think they are “spiritually” enlightened gifts to the world that will bring the world to correct single mindedness through socialist team concepts, group think, and peer pressure (facilitated brainwashing). If you do not go along you will be ostracized or even persecuted.

When Obama talks about more government regulation he is not at all kidding, he is dead serious. He will want to control everything and even at the local level he will set up neighborhood groups to establish control. Obama was created by, promoted by and is a puppet of extreme Far Left radical globalists. Their worldview is certainly not the worldview of most America’s.

If you think government does not listen to the people now just wait until Obama, Reed and Pelosi and a liberal Supreme Court control everything from how much energy you can use, to what you can say in public, to guns.

The article quoted below ought to wake the living dead but we all know that they only read the Left controlled press. This further article about the crime of the century should make it abundantly clear that you do not want liberals to gain control over all government. However, I believe they will because Americans simply are not getting it. If that is not enough to get you thinking you might read this article about Obama being a facilitator and not a executive. Just want do you think he will facilitate? He will facilitate group think and he will do it right out of the world socialist playbook. He will use global warming, economic crises, foreign wars and who knows what else to make you fear enough to give up all to government. If you are still not convinced you might read this article Obama’s henchmen and the rise of commufascism. Maybe McCain is not that much better but at least he will be some kind of a check on the Far Left. If Obama is elected the radicals take over America until the next American revolution.

American Thinker: What If Obama Doesn’t Have America’s Best Interests at Heart?

I have known many “players” in my life, notably in big corporations, who might have easily written, as Obama has, that they “serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.” All of them turned out to be the ones who truly did have malicious intent. They were the ones who were survival-of-the-fittest professionals, ready to adapt to any circumstance and say whatever had to be said in order to win the game. They were the ones who built careers on the backs of people of more substance but less savvy, people who were either forced or were willing to lie face-down and be walked on. They were the ones whose artful dishonesty came with eloquence and a smile, concealing designs that were, in the end, hardly conceivable as virtuous. Often — very often — they were completely unqualified to lead. Always they found majorities who loved them.

The reaction to Obama by the people of America is disturbing, to say the least. I have not seen anything quite like it in America. Ronald Reagan, for example, was also very popular, but his name evoked enthusiasm and, at his death, reverence. But never the sort of idolatry inspired by Obama. Even Obama’s detractors do not seem to loathe him, at least not in the way that they have loathed the Clintons or Gore or Kerry. I have heard more than one Republican say, “Well, if I have to put up with him for four or more years, at least he’s tolerable.” Obama’s mass appeal is uncommon and frightening.

So, I am now imagining a very real scenario — similar to what I have seen on a smaller scale in the corporate world — about to be played out on a national, and possibly global, level. Our country seems to be ready to put into the seat of power a man — good-looking, charismatic, silver-tongued, to be sure — who has almost no experience, has never served in an executive capacity, has barely held a real job, and has no record of success other than his remarkable campaign.

This is a man who in less than two years has arisen as a political messiah. He has mesmerized an emergent block of college-age voters (whose chief sources of information, by the way, are comedians). He has inspired “Obama youth” corps and Maoist-style choirs of praise. He has been dubbed “the One” by his Matrix-saturated worshippers. He has captured the hearts and minds of half of America, nearly all of the media, and most of the world itself.

If Obama is just another bumbling Democrat, who, armed with a lot of really bad policies, simply wants to do America proud, well, then, if elected, he will muddle through the next four to eight years trying to implement change, will be hindered by the American political system, will enervate liberals and thus energize conservatives, and, eventually, the tide will turn. Like the aftermath of a very disagreeable season, we will have weathered the storm, will survey the damage, and will send in the rescue teams to rebuild.

But then again: What if Obama doesn’t have America’s best interest at heart? What if his candidacy has to do with the willful and radical recreation of the country, one that embraces Marxist ideals, i.e., socialism in some form or another? What if the “change we can believe in” — the central theme of his campaign — is directed subversion of the Republic in favor of the sort of Utopian, collectivist state that radicals like Bill Ayers have been dreaming of since the Sixties?

Who needs revolution when one can use evolution? If Congress turns decidedly left, Obama will have a good chance to help the Supreme Court do the same. At that point, the Left’s idea of a “living” Constitution, which allows interpretation to supplant the process of amendment, will be used to make us all believers.

The sex perverted city of San Francisco is at it once again. The majority of residents will soon not allow enforcement of laws related to prostitution and sex workers. When looking at what they are actually approving you will see that they are voting for a city where anything goes including abetting pedophiles and human traffickers. There is no end to San Francisco’s sex perversion. Now the innocent will be further preyed upon by inhuman predators. There is nothing that brings judgment from God quicker than the harming of innocent children. How can this city not soon be judged? If you are wise you will get yourself and your family out of this city.

Measure would protect pimps, not prostitutes

the average age of entry into prostitution is 12 to 14. The office of San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris, who opposes the initiative, has encountered prostituted children as young as 9.

Yet the San Francisco ballot measure completely ignores the prostitution of children. The measure simply states, “Law enforcement agencies shall not allocate any resources for the investigation and prosecution of prostitutes for prostitution.” Astonishingly, there’s no exemption that encourages police to enforce the law for minors.

If the measure passes, the city is likely to become an international haven for pimps who peddle girls and boys, and perverts seeking sex with minors.

And where does that leave Bay Area youth?

“They want new and young,” Jasmine, a former teen prostitute from Oakland who now volunteers for the nonprofit Sage Project, which fights sexual exploitation, explained to me.

The other big problem: The measure prohibits city law enforcement from applying for grants to prosecute human traffickers. That’s right, this measure gives a free pass to the human sex-slave trade - in a city that is a central stop for international sex-trade rings.

A proponent of the measure told Fox News that she believes that it will pass with 75 percent of the vote because the city is “sex-positive.”

Violence and pain are the inevitable outcome for those steeped in this dehumanizing way of life. Young women wooed into the life quickly age to the point where they cannot net the high-incomes their pimps demand. They become addicted to drugs. They learn to commit new crimes. Until the day they find they are disposable.

Or as Wilson noted, “We treat animals better.”

So do not tell Jasmine that if San Francisco decriminalizes prostitution, it will do so because the city cares about prostitutes. This measure really is a gift, not so much to so-called sex workers, as to pimps, pedophiles and human traffickers. As Jasmine sees it, if the ballot initiative passes, “That’s basically saying the city does not care.”

Britain continues to set in place agendas to go Big Brother Fascist. Now it is training kids to monitor the energy that their family uses and to warn them to conserve and to keep case records. Of course the next step will be turning in those records and your parents to the authorities. Then the climate Gestapo will be knocking at your door. Of course if the men of Britain were not wearing skits and took back their country from the Big Sister nanny fascists this would not be happening.

Hey kids! Be a “Climate Cop” - rat on your family, friends, and classmates « Watts Up With That?

Note: I don’t normally allow the discussion of things related to Nazi Germany here, including discouraging the use of the word “denier” due to it’s “Holocaust Denier” connotations. But this full page ad in the Sunday papers in Britain, touting “climate crime” and “climate cops” is just a bit over the top, and deserves some attention. It is particularly relevant since the sponsoring website climatecops.com has a teachers section, and we’ve just seen some sensibility from Schwarzenegger in Sacramento on this very issue. I find this method of indoctrinating school children to normal everyday living being harmful to the earth with the “climate crime” connotation as distasteful and wrong headed. I have no problems with energy conservation, in fact I encourage it. But combining such advice with a “climate cop” idea is the wrong way to get the message across. Can you imagine what sort of reaction the neighbors will have to the kids hanging this door hanger on their front door? Will the result of this now be hiding your electric dryer behind false walls so the kids and neighbors don’t see it?

Launched today with large colour ads in the Sundays, it appeals directly to children, urging them to climate crime”, to root out “climate crimes“, and thus “save the planet”.

urging its recruits to spy on families, friends and relatives, inviting each of them to build up a “climate crime case file” in order to help them ensure their putative criminals do not “commit those crimes again (or else)!”

Quite what the “or else!” should be is not specified, but since the “climate cops” are being encouraged to keep detailed written records (for those who can read and write), there is nothing to stop these being submitted to the “Climate Cops HQ” for further sanctions, the repeat offenders being sent to re-education camps. And for those “climate cops” that successfully perform the “missions” set (or turn in their own parents), there is the reward of “training” in the “Climate Cop Academy”.

Every major police force in the U.S. is now being militarized. Part of the reason is the drug gangs and the terrorist threat but that also gave police forces the excuse and the money they needed to create their own army. In third world nations warlords have that type of power. Here it is drug gangs and police gangs and the attitude of both is it is us against them. When the “them” becomes the citizens you already have a local police state. That is now true in some areas of the U.S. but not in most rural areas. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that if the trend continues a police state is in our future.

With one word from the federal government based on some perceived threat all these heavily armed local police forces will become nationalized and there arises the official big police state. Right now all the big police forces are in training for their future police state role that everyone but the sheeple knows is inevitable.

Much can be determined about your own police force by how they treat the citizens. If they treat you as if you are guilty until proven innocent, If you get thrown on the ground instead of questioned. if they just break down your doors when they could have knocked (with some exceptions), if a gun is pointed at you and you are unarmed, if they have road check points looking for anything they can find, if they pull you over for a minor infraction and then ask to search your vehicle, If they want to search your vehicle and the only option you are given to refuse is a vehicle impoundment, if they travel in packs like a gang, if they look like storm troopers when on routine patrol, etc. Then there is a good chance that you are already living in a police state.

American Chronicle | Americans Are Living (And Dying) In A Militarized Police State

Today, police departments across the United States more closely resemble an occupying army than they do public servants responding to calls for help. Police officers can now be seen wearing helmets and body armor and carrying AR-15’s, just to deliver simple warrants. The militarization of our police departments not only gives the appearance of a military dictatorship but places the public at great risk.

Many municipalities are using Homeland Security grants to even purchase large armored vehicles. The Pittsburgh Police Department now uses their 20-ton armored truck complete with rotating turret and gun ports to deliver many of their warrants. Pittsburgh Police Sgt. Barry Budd recently told the Associate Press: “We live on being prepared for ‘what if’.”

Our police departments now regularly receive free surplus equipment from the U.S. military, which they readily accept. The training being given at many police academies appears to be the type of tactics one would use in Baghdad, rather than Baltimore. It would seem that our police officers are being readied for war, with the American public as the enemy. In the last several years, there has been a transformation from community policing to pre-emptive assaults

SWAT teams were designed to deal with very violent individuals who represent a clear and present threat to the public. However, they are now being used to execute warrants on non-violent offenders and even those who have no prior criminal history at all. Turning our neighborhood cops into shock troops will do nothing but erode public confidence in the police and endanger the lives of innocent Americans.

Recently, Boston´s new police commissioner William Fitchet announced that the department´s Street Crimes Unit will begin wearing military-style black uniforms, to instill a sense of “fear.” At last week´s city council meeting, police Sgt. John Delaney told council members that the black uniforms would send the message that officers were serious.

Did someone declare martial law?

Janet Folger has the national issues right in this article. Maybe you should take some time to watch the “Nobama Girl” on YouTube that she is raving about. The link is in the article.

Where the battle is hottest

we must get the word out about what an Obama administration would mean for our country. One of the best ways I’ve seen is the new Nobama Girl video on YouTube. Have you seen it? The “Nobama Girl” music video released last week has already been called “the best video on YouTube,” by viewers.

I agree.

The Nobama Girl, Jannique Stewart, provides an answer to the Obama Girl’s “crush,” with a call to “crush” Obama’s campaign with the truth.

“Many Americans are buying empty rhetoric of ‘change,’ without knowing the horrific policies behind that change that their vote would establish,” said Stewart in a recent press release. “This video is intended to bring the hidden things to light.”

It exposes the facts of Obama’s policies of:

* abortion on demand and infanticide
* his “respect” and support of the California Supreme Court decision to abolish marriage between one man and one woman
* amnesty
* gun control
* support for “hate crime” legislation that would criminalize Christian and pro-family views

Unlike the sleazy counterpart, the Nobama Girl video is one the whole family can watch and become informed. I give it two thumbs up. Rarely is exposing the evil positions of a candidate this much fun.

Sex at nine is fine according to Islam says this Saudi Islamic cleric. After all Muhammad had sex with a nine year old? He also confirms that in Yemen this practice is carried out.  I am sure many pedophile perverts will now convert to Islam and claim that their perversion has to be accepted by society.

Age no barrier to marriage in Islam

Age, or lack thereof, is no hindrance to marriage under Islam, according to Ahmad Al-Mu’bi, an officiant for marriages from Saudi Arabia who says sex at 9 is fine.

He confirmed, “The Prophet Muhammad is the model we follow. He took ‘Aisha to be his wife when she was 6, but he had sex with her only when she was 9.”

An interviewer asked: “My question to you is whether the marriage of a 12-year-old boy to an 11-year-old girl is a logical marriage permitted by Islamic law.”

“If the guardian is the father… There are two different types of guardianship. If the guardian is the father, and he marries his daughter off to a man of appropriate standing, the marriage is obviously valid,” said Al-Mu’bi.

James Hansen of NASA is totally out of touch with most of the rest of climate scientists. It is amazing that such a buffoon speaks for NASA. The idea to blame fossil fuel companies is laughable, what does he expect us to use for energy?

I dare them to bring this court. It will backfire in their faces. The science is there to refute man caused global warming but over 95 percent of the money now comes from those who blame man for global warming. Just give the oil companies a good reason to put up their money to present the real evidence and we will soon get this carbon monkey off of our back. One could only hope that Hansen gets his wish and that large fossil fuel companies are put on trial. Only then will the global warming fraud be
exposed for what it is.

It is not like Hansen does not have a vested interest since he was one of the people that started this man caused global warming hype twenty years ago. Now we are seeing that the earth is actually cooling and he is in panic mode claiming a conspiracy of doubt by the energy companies. James Hansen and Al Gore will live in denial even if we go through an ice age.

Put oil firm chiefs on trial, says leading climate change scientist | Environment | The Guardian

James Hansen, one of the world’s leading climate scientists, will today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer.

Hansen will use the symbolically charged 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking speech (pdf) to the US Congress - in which he was among the first to sound the alarm over the reality of global warming - to argue that radical steps need to be taken immediately if the “perfect storm” of irreversible climate change is not to become inevitable.

Speaking before Congress again, he will accuse the chief executive officers of companies such as ExxonMobil and Peabody Energy of being fully aware of the disinformation about climate change they are spreading.

Crooked greedy Dentists are a much worse problem then suggested in this article. Those that are bilking Medicaid are also bilking cash paying and insurance paying customers. When you go in for a cleaning they tell you need fillings. Often you do not. When you go in for a filling they tell you need a root canal and a crown. Often you do not. Who checks the honesty of their diagnoses? Until we get proper dental oversight I suggest that everyone get a second opinion before you let anyone do work on your teeth. You would not believe how many slime balls are in your mouth.

Dentists who prey on children

I don’t know about you, but just mentioning the word dentist makes my stomach churn. The sound of a dentist’s drill sends shivers down my spine. One of the most frightening lines in the English language is: “You need a root canal.”

As if we needed another reason to hate dentists, did you know that some dentists intentionally perform unnecessary dental work just to be able to bilk the government?

It gets worse. These same dentists have removed good teeth of poor children just to increase billings to Medicaid. I wish I could tell you this was the plot of a horror film, but this grotesque form of fraud is happening in real life.

This article is certainly worth the read and I agree with about 90 percent of what Jim Schwiesow says in this article. But America cannot fulfill Revelation 18:7-8.

He is correct that there is no remedy for the downfall of the U.S. Because the majority of people in this nation simply wish to believe the demented lies of the amoral ungodly who have taken over the realms of power in this nation.

People in this nation will get what they want and what they deserve. Maybe they will come back to their senses one day after their human savior fails them and they find themselves on a sinking ship in dire straits. But then again I would not bet on American’s repenting and I think that all the kings men will not be able to put Humpty-Dumpty back together again.

The demise of America is inevitable unless there is some divine intervention that shakes this nation to its core.

Jim R. Schwiesow — Scarlet is Our Color

Time is fleeting and every second, minute, hour and day hurtles this nation closer to a time of retribution, a time so horrific that the mind cannot comprehend the magnitude of the fiery fury that will descend upon this nation and the people in it. The Eternal is moving against this country with purpose and terrible resolve, like small fingers of flame the preliminary pestilences signal a rapidly advancing holocaust.

The worst of heathen have come to possess the offices of our government, the halls of our institutions and the minds of our people. The land is in the terminal stages of a great spiritual disease. We are an adulterous people and a scarlet A has been emblazoned upon our land.

With regularity one hears it parroted that God’s blessings are upon this nation, those who give lip service only to the God of all creation continually wring their hands in despair over the removal of God from our coins, prayer from our schools and the Ten Commandments from our public institutions. One can only wonder where these same people were when sexual perversity and the teaching of social filthiness invaded our schools. Where were they when derelict and avaricious politicians and government agents incrementally and systematically dismantled the Constitution and destroyed the individual liberties of the people? Under what rock were they hiding when the killing of live babies was sanctioned and a host of soul killing perversions were institutionalized?

Why would a supposed God-fearing people allow such to come to pass? The truth is that the more than one-half of the people of this country who call themselves Christian, a great majority of which are ashamed to utter the name of Jesus Christ in public, have done more spiritual damage than the totality of the non-religious, the atheists and the agnostics who reside in the country.

The unrighteousness of our people, the moral degradation upon the nation, the rebellion against Almighty God and the rejection of His rule have brought us to the cusp of absolute destruction. Repent is not in our vocabulary and humility does not inhabit our soul, foolishness is forever on our lips and pride and arrogance mark our character.

The ignorance of our leaders and the delusion upon the people has made way for the institution of the elements of our own destruction.

Many have written to me and bewailed what they see as a failure by me and other columnists with NewsWithViews.com to provide solutions to the problems that we describe. They concede that we have accurately identified the degradation that it upon our nation, but they want someone to provide the answers that will deliver the nation from a seemingly imminent demise. The truth is that there are no secular solutions that will deliver this nation. No resolution other than a nationwide confession of sin and repentance thereof will save this nation.

This is what you can expect to happen when you let the control freaks run the funny farm.

What a load of rubbish!

A young, British mother is being forced to pay $524 because she impatiently placed her trash can at the curb a day early.

Zoe Watmough, 22, was hauled before judges and ordered to pay a hefty fine, reports the UK’s Daily Mail.

“I am flabbergasted,” Watmough said. “There are people committing all sorts of crimes and getting away with it. Yet I have left my bin out and have been fined the best part of £300.”

Officials from the Bolton Council in Greater Manchester detected her green recycling bin and gray garbage can on Wednesday – a full 24 hours before collection – but the council firmly dictates trash must not be taken out until after 7.30 a.m. on garbage day.

If Mexico does not win this battle on drug trafficking we will end up with a hostile nation on our south border. Then we will be forced to send our military to defend our south border. The first thing we need to do is to start posting that anyone crossing into the U.S. illegally from Mexico is subject to deadly force and give our border patrol the weapons, technology and the backing to carry out that policy.

I don’t care what some are saying about the danger this would bring to the innocent illegals that are only coming across to make a living. They are only coming across now because they know they can. Besides, they are already in great danger by those who smuggle them like cattle along with their drugs - hundreds die each year. Common people in Mexico will soon get the message that you do not cross into the U.S illegally if we truly enforce our borders.

How do Liberal “compassionate” supporters of illegal entry rationalize that this policy is causing thousands of deaths and lawlessness in Mexico? Not to mention that drug running across our south border helps to kill many thousands of Americans and ruin the lives of millions through drug addiction. Is that compassion? Sometimes you need tough laws to protect people from the greedy predators of the world.

They say if we tighten up enforcement of our borders some poor workers might get killed but they totally ignore the fact that many thousands are being killed and that whole nations are being subverted by drug cartels.

Sometimes you have to fight to protect a civil society. Do sane people want drug cartels running Mexico? I assure you it will not have a good outcome. Now is the time to put pressure on our own government to join forces with President Calderon to ruthlessly crush the drug cartels. We also need to crush drug gangs in our own nation that have virtually taken over our inner cities. Now please don’t talk to me about the gang’s civil rights when the civil rights of millions of city dwellers have already been taken away by the gangs.

New Mexican ‘revolución’ crosses border, infects U.S.

In the 18 months since President Felipe Calderon took office vowing to defeat the cartels, the Mexican army, increasingly equipped with modern American-made arms, vehicles and communication, has been deployed across the country in a running battle against the cartels. The death toll is rising. The cartels have executed more than 4,000 people: judges, police chiefs and officers, mayors, military commanders and rival gang members, in a continuing battle over control of territory, particularly in the states of Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Durango. Portions of the Mexican army have been compromised, and many Mexican soldiers are now cartel enforcers.

The danger now is that revenue from smuggling is so great that cartels can not only bribe officials to get their way, but they can permanently buy off (or kill off) key army, government, political and media figures, rendering Mexico a state dominated by the cartels. Things can get much worse in Mexico than they are today. And that means, things can get much worse for America, too. President Calderon deserves U.S. support as he fights the smuggling cartels for control of Mexico

Joe Farah sees the danger in the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services making bureaucratic decisions to take kids away from their mothers.

It is not just happening in Texas either. Today in the news we also hear a story of thousands of parents listed as child abusers in Illinois that cannot get off the list but they never did any wrong.

The question is asked in this article can the Child Protective Agencies come in and take away the kids of millions of parents who are not bringing up their kids according to government standards? The answers is yes, if the want to. The burden of proof they need to take your kids away is very low and just one accusation by anyone can see your kids taken away.

It is ironic that in a nation where you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty by a court of law that low level government employees can make snap decisions and act as if you are guilty until you can prove you are innocent at great expense to yourself, and often it is not even possible to prove that you are innocent.

This abuse is not only going on just in the area of child protective services. It is a plague and it is about to get worse. Soon people will be charged under subjective hate speech laws.

If this trend toward bureaucratic decree continues in the United States what will be the point of even having a Constitution and Bill of Rights? We will be living under the tyranny of minimally trained control freaks like at the airports.

But just remember when they come for you that they are obtaining these unconstitutional powers because you are letting your elected representatives pass laws that allow them to have this power over you.

Abuse of power in Texas

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, a misnamed bureaucracy if ever there was one, has demanded the children seized by the state and placed in foster care be immunized immediately against the wishes of their mothers, who fear negative effects.

Ahh, but those mothers are no longer mothers, explains Patrick Crimmins, spokesman for the department.

“We’re the legal parents of the children and we would like for them to be immunized,” he said.

Now, I’m the first to recognize the mothers in this case have made some objectively poor decisions about their lives. However, does anyone really believe Crimmins and his state bureaucrats really care more for these children than do their mothers? How have these mothers abrogated their parental rights? What crime have they committed? With what are they being charged? Why are they losing custody of their children? Have these children been abused or neglected? All of them? How?

All the public has heard since the raid on the compound is that the children seem to be in good health. Questions were raised by early pregnancies among some of the girls. I have news for you: Teenage girls are getting pregnant and having sex with older men throughout American society today. If these mothers are going to lose custody of their children as a result of that kind of sexual activity, what about the high percentages of teen pregnancies in our inner cities? Can we expect Texas and the other states soon to begin seizing millions of kids – both girls and boys in those families?

This situation in Texas is looking more and more like a heavy-handed abuse of power by government.

Is the state trying to make an example of these parents? Are all the parents being punished collectively for the crimes of a few? Is that the new American way?

When I hear a government bureaucrat claim to be the parents of children he has never met, it sets me off.

It is an explosive statement.

It is the kind of offensive and officious statement that will only serve to create more fear and distrust of government – frankly, the very conditions that lead to the creation of compounds like the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

If anyone should be put in jail it should be the judge for malfeasance in office. From where do the courts get the right to order someone to pass a GED test in the first place? Why jail the father and take away his ability to make a living because the kid is stupid, lazy or skipping her lessons? Kids drop out of school all the time at 16 in this country and do not get a GED so should millions of parents be put in jail? How does the Father make a 18 year old adult pass the test? If he even tried some discipline on this adult he could be sued or jailed for that. What kind of demented nut case would dispense justice like this? Who allows it? The Judge should be put in a padded room. Where are the civil liberties groups?

Daughter fails math test, so dad thrown in jail

A northern Kentucky man is in jail today – serving a 180-day sentence – because his 18-year-old daughter failed a math test and didn’t get her General Equivalency Diploma, or GED, as a previous court order required.

Brittany Gegner, the daughter, says if anyone should be jailed, it should be her.

Those who rant about the war in Iraq might consider the domestic war in the U.S. It is far more destructive.

War on 2 fronts: Abroad … and at home

Eminent historians Will and Ariel Durant said, “The family is the nucleus of civilization.” As bad as the Iraq war and its costs are, the battles here on our own soil are worse. And costlier.

We’d better call for an all-out “surge” in this domestic war, while we still have the resources, courage – and liberty – to do it.

Government has created the cigarette smuggling problem. When government balances its budget on the backs of smokers because they are a minority and they can do it and still be reelected I would have no problem rationalizing buying smuggled cigarettes to keep these government bullies from robbing me (I am not a smoker). Government socialists who never seen a program they do not want to fund with our tax dollars and social engineer control freaks help create the crime syndicates through their tax polices and then they continually raise taxes to fight crime and warehouse the law breakers. Government has created a never ending spiral of more taxes and more crime.

Cigarette smuggling

While it’s politically popular to impose confiscatory taxes on America’s 40 million tobacco smokers, there are a number of consequences one might consider, but let’s start out with a quiz. If a carton of cigarettes sells for $160 in New York City, and $35 in North Carolina, what do you predict will happen? If you answered tons of cigarettes will be going up I-95 from North Carolina to New York City, go to the head of the class.

The easy solution to cigarette smuggling, and its attendant activities, is to eliminate the confiscatory taxes. Unfortunately, for politicians and do-gooders, the attack on smokers is a moral crusade that sees only benefits and costs are irrelevant. Or as novelist C.S. Lewis put it, “Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.”

When governments try to balance their budgets on the back of mostly low and lower middle class smokers they themselves are creating the smuggling problem. When government adds several dollars to the cost of one pack of cigarettes they make it very lucrative for smugglers. So what did New York State do about the problem reported in this article. They just raised taxes $1.25 a pack this year to $2.75 to help with their budget shortfall. Every time the states or the Feds raise cigarette taxes they call it a win win situation. They say less people will smoke and they will raise more tax revenue. Obviously there is also a lose lose situation the governments do not tell you about. They are promoting crime and robbing poor people.

I do not smoke but let me tell you what I see going on. My observations are that when one in a couple smoke they both smoke. Most have a family income of less then $30,000 and some are on government assistance. They are addicted and they are not going to quit smoking because government raised the taxes. They each smoke at least a pack a day or 60 packs a month. At $5 a pack it costs them $300 a month. They do not have that much disposable income so some necessities are put off indefinitely. Often their children go without or they live in substandard housing, etc.

Liberal answers to all revenue shortfalls is more taxes especially on things that they do not like and their answer to social problems is to tax or legislate them out of existence. It has never worked and they should not then act surprised when their laws bring these additional problems.

FOXNews.com - Cigarette Smugglers Funnel Money to Terror Groups, Report Finds - Politics | Republican Party | Democratic Party | Political Spectrum

A 15-page report congressional report, obtained by FOX News, includes intelligence from law enforcement as well as New York State’s Department of Taxation and Finance.

The report reads in part: Cigarette smuggling is generating millions of dollars every year that can be reaching terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, Hamas and Al Qaeda, according to law enforcement sources. In a single case, $100,000 was sent to Hezbollah.

“This is a very serious homeland security issue, one that has gone unnoticed for far too long,” said Rep. Peter King, (R-N.Y.), the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, who called for the investigation.

“Cigarette smugglers are able to generate millions of dollars in illegal profits with a great deal of this wealth being sent to terrorist groups overseas – groups that would like nothing more than to inflict devastating harm on our country and its citizens.”

One of the key issues, according to the report, is a potential flaw in New York State policy. According to King’s office, there is a policy in the state of “forebearance,” or refusing to collect on sales of Native American tax-free cigarettes to non-Native Americans.

Critics of the policy say it has effectively created a safe haven for smugglers. In some cases, the report says, a well-organized operation can buy cigarettes tax-free on New York’s Indian reservations and sell them at a great profit in the New Yock City area,

People are about to reap what they let the eco-nitwits start. The question that will be asked too late is why did most of the world support the nitwits junk science solutions to fix a non existent global warming problem? If people continue to allow themselves to be brainwashed and managed by these silly nitwit eco-loons, elitists and control freaks they will reap very negative consequences.

People need to teach themselves how to think for themselves and not just parrot and agree with everything they hear from the nitwits in the elitist controlled media.

Food riots caused by rising food prices have erupted around the world. Five people died in uprisings in Haiti, perhaps the first of many casualties to come from the fad of being “green.”

Food riots also broke out in Egypt, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Ethiopia. The military is being deployed in Pakistan and Thailand to protect fields and warehouses. Higher energy costs and policies promoting the use of biofuels such as ethanol are being blamed.

“When millions of people are going hungry, it’s a crime against humanity that food should be diverted to biofuels,” an Indian government official told the Wall Street Journal. Turkey’s finance minister labeled the use of biofuels as “appalling,” according to the paper.

Biofuels have turned out to be a lose-lose-lose proposition. Once touted by the greens and the biofuel industry as being able to reduce the demand for oil and lower greenhouse gas emissions, biofuels have accomplished neither goal and have no prospect for accomplishing either in the foreseeable future.

The world has an ever-growing population that needs more and more energy, but the greens are doing everything they can to constrict the world’s energy supply.

As the Sierra Club campaigns to shut down our coal-fired electricity capabilities, the Natural Resources Defense Council campaigns to prevent nuclear power from taking its place. The demise of coal-fired power and the blockage of increased nuclear power will increase the demand for supply constraints on, and the prices for, natural gas.

But then again, environmental advocacy group Earth First perhaps is helping to alleviate the looming natural gas crisis by campaigning against power plants that use the fuel. In a recent campaign against a South Florida power plant, an Earth First campaigner stated that the environment ought not be threatened “so that people can fuel their greedy energy desires.” “Just say ‘no’ to electricity,” seems to be the bottom line of eco-think.

Here you have it from the horses own mouth. Obama will support repealing the Defense of Marriage Act, open homosexuality in the military and hate speech laws.

That means everyone will have to recognize homosexual marriage and government and businesses will have to give benefits to help support their perverted lifestyle and will not even be allowed to complain about it. Americans will have to hire homosexuals for even religious positions and keep their mouth shut about biblical morality. You certainly will not be allowed to tell the pagans that Jesus is the only way to salvation.

If this man is the leading contender for President what does it say about America? If he gets elected, America will actually divide, not unite.

I can just see it now…. Gay pride military parades on Veterans day and when anyone protests they will be arrested by cops in drag for hate speech. If your not getting the message that the world is increasingly going insane it is not my fault.  If you do nothing about it you will have to live with it.

Obama promises ‘gays’ ’strongest possible bill’

Along with repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and implementing “fully inclusive laws outlawing hate crimes, he says, it’s important to bring “the message of LGBT equality to skeptical audiences as well as friendly ones, and that’s what I’ve done throughout my career.”
