Did you know the $700 billion bail out bill was really about $850 billion after all the pork was added? That is how they changed votes. They bribed each vote with pork. We are seeing today how good the bailout did, as of this writing the stock market is down about 10 percent since the great rescue bill was signed a few days ago. Guess what? Our champions of fiscal responsibility running for President signed the bill with $112 billion of pork added. In the last debate they were arguing about saving some of the $16 billion in earmark spending. However, they just signed a bill that contained $112 Billion in pork in one shot and our dumb president signed it without even reading it. Someone might think that they all need to take some Zanax or were being blackmailed. Who knows, those who hold our dollars like China and the oil rich states may have given them an ultimatum. Pass the bail-out bill or the dollar goes down the toilet. That’s about the only thing that explains the panic.

If McCain or Obama still have the gall to lie in our face about cutting pork everyone should turn off their TV’s or walk out of there rallies. Why enable liars? What good will it be to try to save me a pork chop in the future when you just proved to America that you will vote for a huge pork feast.

Believe me, the bail-outs are not over. The FDIC will now need $200 billion to bail out the failing banks, State governments will need bailing out, Unemployment insurance will need bailing out and many more taxpayer bailouts will come in the future. Tax revenues will also fall and taxes are likely to be cut to stimulate the economy. By the time we get through this crises (if we do) we could easily be $15 trillion in debt. Those nations who are bailing us out now with low interest rate loans are not likely to do so after this crises is past for the world. But we will still have $15 trillion of debt to service at a interest rate given to a nation that spends way beyond its means. Think about what that means to this nation in the future.

The bail-a-holics

The truth is most lawmakers voted to pass the bill but don’t have a clue what is in this 500-plus page legislation, which was birthed in the White House just two weeks ago as an infant of only three pages. It was then voted down at the Capitol a week later in its adolescent-sized 100 pages. And of course, in good bureaucratic fashion, it passed mature criteria when it was more than five times the size and packed with governmental goodies. And the president signed it just an hour after receiving it from Capitol Hill on Friday – I guess that speed reading course paid off.

In the fine print, inserted between the lines of that 500-plus page bill, are loads of fiscal additives and more financial toxic relief. Yes, the rumors are true. H.R. 1424 – Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which has now been signed into law, officially includes more than $112 billion in political hors d’oeuvres and pork barrel additives that have absolutely no direct relation to the Wall Street bailout. Among them are:

* $6 million in tax breaks for wooden arrow manufacturers in Oregon;
* $148 million in tax breaks for wool-producing companies,
* $128 million in tax breaks for the manufacturers of car racing tracks;
* $10 million in tax breaks to small television and film producers;
* $223 million in tax breaks for Alaskan fisherman;
* $33 million for corporations operating in American Samoa;
* $192 million in tax breaks for rum producers in the Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

What the &^%$#@?! And that’s just a drop in the bailout bucket. And We the Taxpayers are just supposed to sit back and take it in the arrears?

All is not lost, yet. We still have a voice in this bailout – it’s in the ballot box in November’s elections. The remedy for our country is clear: Congress doesn’t need another bailout, but a roundhouse kick right out the door. I plead with you to join me and millions of others in a voter revolution – to oust political and congressional corruption and stalemate. If representatives from your state and districts voted to pass this bailout bill and gamble nearly $1 trillion of our children’s and grandchildren’s taxpaying money, in addition to showing the reckless fiscal behavior of stuffing such a bill with perks and pork, you must not re-elect any such wayward incumbent.

Youth are pledging allegiance to the greatness of Obama in para-military garb. Small school children are forced to sing songs about Obama by their teachers. People are being intimated by Law enforcement if they do not like what you say about Obama. Obama is being preached in some churches. We hear Slogan’s right out of the Saul Alinsky socalist handbook. Anyone see a problem here? Next some will soon be calling Obama “Dear Leader” It is simply amazing how fast we are moving from freedom toward socialist fascism. God help this nation if Obama gets in power. Don’t think this is all being done by Obama he is just the mouthpiece of Far Left radicals. There is a Far Left fascist and black raciest movement rising in America and they have taking control of the Democratic party.

Of course you should have a good idea what is going to happen in the inner cities and among the Liberals if their Black Messiah does not get elected. The Far Left has itself make that statement in order to intimate you to vote for him. Americans better wake up or your going to see insurrection in this nation.

I don’t normally post movie reviews but “An American Triumph” grounded in Judeo-Christian ethic sounds like a movie that is a lot of fun. Especially since it exposes the Far Left for the demented people they are and it is also gives them a taste of there own medicine.

FrontPage Magazine

The plot revolves around a retelling of the Scrooge story, this time on Independence Day. A leftist documentary filmmaker named Michael Malone (Kevin Farley) plots, with MoveAlong.org, to abolish the Fourth of July. Soon, he is visited by three spirits who show him what the world would be like if the United States had never waged war. While hostile critics will call it an apology for warmongering, it cannot be stereotyped with such a simplistic, not to mention inhuman, message. One film soldier tells protestors he, too, opposes war, but it is sometimes inevitable. The film’s true message is that there is evil in the world, and it must be opposed by moral good backed by might.

This moral clarity, grounded in the Judeo-Christian ethic, may alone explain why such movies are never made in Hollywood.

However, the real attraction is not the message but the jokes. The trailer does not do the film justice. Producer David Zucker did the audience a favor by not making a conservative film with jokes but a comedy that happens to be conservative. Suicide bombers as a whole are made the object of scorn. One of the terror leaders remarks, “It is getting harder and harder to find suicide bombers, and all the really good ones are gone.” Muslim sexual morés also take a grazing hit. The al-Qaeda recruiting video, done in the style of 1950s and ‘60s educational film strips, is not to be missed. By far the funniest moment is the screening of Rosie O’Connell’s documentary about radical Christians, which makes reference to an Episcopalian suicide bomber.

Perhaps this points to the movie’s most politically consequential motif: it fittingly depicts, in a comic format, how the radical Left has moved into the mainstream of the Democratic Party. In the film, Malone introduces former president Jimmy Carter at a MoveAlong.org rally, just as Michael Moore shared the real-life Carter’s box at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and as Al Gore made his post-9/11 political rebound bellowing red-faced rants at MoveOn.org rallies. For making this point, this author has himself been parodied (but not nearly as well as this ensemble does the Left).

Not only do ignoramuses like Joe Biden and Katie Couric not even know that FDR was not President in 1929 they fail to understand that the Great depression did not end anywhere near 1929. In fact, it started in the 1930’s and it lasted for over a decade through most of FDR’s Presidency, It took the military expansion for World War II to get us out of the great depression. Also Joe Biden said FDR went on TV in 1929. There was no TV in those days.

In another article, 14 lies or wrong statements were documented from Joe Biden in his Vice Presidential debate with Sarah Palin. He seems to either have no clue on the facts or he is purposely deceptive.

This article also points out the fact that Joe Biden was only one of five senators who voted against the Alaskan pipeline. Think of the situation we would be in now had that pipeline not been built. Can you imagine Joe Biden sitting and advising the President and constantly getting the facts he tells him wrong.

Both Katie Couric and Joe Biden richly deserve my Demented Delusional or Dumb Club award for obvious reasons.

Here is some additional information on the record of Joe Biden

AnnCoulter.com - Printer Friendly Article: BIDEN SECRET SERVICE CODE NAME: ‘ASSASSINATION INSURANCE’

Being interviewed by Katie Couric on the “CBS Evening News,” Biden said: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.’”

For those of you who aren’t hard-core history buffs, Biden not only named the wrong president during the 1929 stock market crash, he also claimed a president who wasn’t president during the stock market crash went on TV before Americans had TVs.

Other than that, the statement holds up pretty well. At least Biden managed to avoid mentioning any “clean” Negroes he had met.

Couric was nearly moved to tears by the brilliance of Biden’s brain-damaged remark. She was especially intrigued by Biden’s claim that FDR had said the new iPhone was the bomb!

Here is Couric’s full response to Biden’s bizarre outburst about FDR (a) being president and (b) going on TV in 1929: “Relating to the fears of the average American is one of Biden’s strong suits.”

Not to be outdone by Oregon, California not only has physician assisted suicide they now have nurse-assisted suicide and apparently these physician assistants and nurses without sufficient diagnoses training can decide when you are terminal and pressure depressed people to be drugged into unconsciousness where they will be denied basic life-sustaining necessities such as food and water and die.

Just when you think California can not get any more demented they always prove you wrong. This is just another small step in the elitist world socialist fascist program to eliminate the useless eaters. The bottom-line is always the reason for these things. The California government does not want to pay for their medical care. When you get state controlled socialized medicine, bureaucratic aids will be deciding who lives and who dies just like in Great Great Britain today. This is just another move toward that end.

California approves nurse-assisted suicide

SACRAMENTO – California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially approved an assisted suicide measure allowing nurses to sedate, dehydrate and starve depressed or confused individuals they consider to be “terminally ill.”

“AB 2747 pushes suicide through the back door at the hands of non-physicians taking advantage of depressed patients,” he said in a statement. “AB 2747 cheapens the value of human life by endorsing suicide as an option.”

The measure allows physician assistants and nurses to decide whether a person is “terminally ill” and deprive them of basic life-sustaining necessities such as food and water.

“Depressed patients who succumb to this pressure will be drugged unconscious and die from dehydration, usually within five to 10 days,” Thomasson said. “Nothing in the bill prohibits this horror.”

Thomasson said Berg “deceptively changed” the bill to appear that “voluntarily stopping of eating and drinking” and “palliative sedation” no longer were on a list of “symptom management” options.

“The bill does not otherwise attempt to expressly define terminal illness that each of these health care professionals would have to diagnose to trigger the offer of counseling end of life option,” Tran said. “It is not clear why nurse practitioners and physician assistants could make such a significant diagnosis. It is further not clear from the bill how making such significant diagnoses on a case-by-case basis can be done by such practitioners and assistants based on so-called ’standardized procedures and protocols’ not further defined by the bill. The potential effect of AB 2747 is extremely broad and could cause irrevocable harm.”

He said the legislation was sponsored by a group called Compassion and Choices, which formerly was known as the Hemlock Society and has advocated for physician-assisted suicide legislation in the past. A founder of the group has praised Dr. Jack Kevorkian for helping more than 100 people die.

Dozens of individuals and groups representing cancer patients, minority rights groups, members of religious communities and hospitals spoke before the Senate Health Committee in opposition to the idea. Also, numerous hospitals and other organizations opposed the measure, includeing California Disability Alliance, California Family Council, California Nurses for Ethical Standards, Mercy San Juan Medical Center, Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital and St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco.

Dr. Ted Baehr wrote a good movie review of Bill Maher’s new demented move called “Religulous”. What should anyone expect from Bill Maher. Anyone who has ever listened to Bill Maher ought to know that He is one demented demonic sick puppy who cannot help but let everyone know about it.

Why would anyone think a demented mind mocker like Maher could know anything about Christianity or religion? Bill Maher is a prime example of a demonic person full of their own self enlightenment. The only thing this move will prove is that some people will watch anything in the theaters these days. Of course Bill Maher richly deserves my Demented Delusional or Dumb Club award for his unique contribution to foolishness.

Christian Worldview Network - Brannon Howse - Arrogant, Irrational Hypocrisy: Humanist Comedian Bill Maher’s New Movie Is Full of Falsehoods, Bigotry, Ignorance, and Hypocrisy

Arrogant, Irrational Hypocrisy: Humanist Comedian Bill Maher’s New Movie Is Full of Falsehoods, Bigotry, Ignorance, and Hypocrisy
By Dr. Ted Baehr, Publisher of MOVIEGUIDE®, and Dr. Tom Snyder, Editor

“Religulous,” comedian Bill Maher’s new movie attacking Christianity and religion, is full of lies, half-truths, false assumptions, logical contradictions and fallacies, distortions, intolerance, prejudice, bigotry, arrogance, ignorance, and hypocrisy. Opening Oct. 3, the movie is a pathetic propaganda piece that will warp the hearts and minds of the gullible and the ignorant. It is also very poorly researched and argued.

At the end, Maher launches into a diatribe comparing all religious leaders and believers, including President George Bush, to evil and ignorant Muslim terrorists. After making that overbroad generalization, Maher angrily denounces people of faith for being too certain and too judgmental. He then tells them that it is actually more “humble” to acknowledge doubts and belief in God and religion, like he does.

It is telling that none of the Christians Maher talks to in “Religulous,” not even Father Coyne, actually makes their living as professional biblical scholars or history scholars, much less as professional Christian debaters. Thus, all the alleged evidence that Maher summons against Christianity and religious faith in his movie is about as empirically and logically one-sided and invalid as you can possible get!

Of course, at the same time Maher accuses his opponents of these nasty things, he is doing the same things that he just accused them of doing. Maher’s tirade is not only logically self-contradictory, and, hence, irrational, it is also hypocritical. Instead of pointing fingers at religious people, especially Christians, Maher needs to look at himself in the mirror!

Here is another view of the movie and some implications, by Ray Comfort

The unexpected happened today the 700 billion dollar bailout plan failed in the House. The main reason it failed is Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s big mouth. She knew they had a close vote in the House but she just could not resist the temptation to use the biggest financial crises in modern times to rail in front of the whole House against the Bush administration and the Republicans just before the all important vote. Thus she lost the vote from some republicans. Leaders should know when to speak and when to keep their mouths shut but not Nancy “I am trying to save the world” Pelosi. She is not even in control of herself.

So a bill that would have brought us on a path to state socialism failed today but you can be certain they will try to bring it back by the end of the week. Now we will probably see a huge sell off in the markets and that will be all that it takes to get the votes. Nevertheless, in the next few days firms are going to fail and many are likely to lose entire fortunes.

A rescue of some sort is probably necessary or the whole world will go into a great depression very quickly but I will tell you why I think any short delay is good.

Everything has been way overvalued for quite some time now. The Stock Market is still almost double where it should be. People say we lost over a trillion dollars in the stock market today and while that is true on paper the wealth really was never there to start with. Overvalued paper is not wealth. So yeah, the government could have propped up the overvalued paper for awhile but that is only a short term fix. The only real fix is to let the overvalued paper go to the value it is really worth. Sure, that will take away over half of peoples retirement savings etc. but I am telling you much of your wealth was an illusion to start with, you never really had it. You cannot get double digit returns for decades when the economy is going nowhere and not expect a crash to come eventually.

A nation cannot keep spending much more than they have anymore than you can. Lets face it Ron Paul was right on our economic situation. The wealth they claimed was there was never there. It was a con game and a pyramid scheme that they they used to gamble with. So the more things drop to the real value of all that paper we are holding before the government steps in the sooner we can return to anything close to fiscal sanity. A prop up by the government at artificially high levels will only work until the next financial shock. This crises will not be over even with a massive bailout.

It is not all about the United States either. Global markets are also in panic and not just because of what is happening in the United States. Britain is entering a housing crises similar to ours and Spain’s housing and debt situation is even worse. Inflation is high in most countries of the world and a world recession is almost a certainty. That will bring rapidly falling oil prices and the oil rich nations that were buying debt will get very tight very quickly. That means interest rates will soar to service our debt before long and that is another crises coming for us. Russia’s economy is based almost entirely on energy exports and Europe is dependent on Russia’s energy so what blackmail will they try to pull on Europe this winter?

In any case, welcomed to the worst economic collapse of our time and it really does not matter much in the long term what our government does to try to shore up the dike. It can be a slow collapse or a fast collapse but things here are going to collapse much like in the old Soviet Union. And that’s probably the good news. Stay tuned for the bad news.

I just read two articles today Sept 30th by Jimmy De Young and Garry Kah that make a lot of sense and add to what I said here yesterday. De Young points out that many bankers are Jewish and this could bring Jewish persecution. I basically said the same thing on a comment on another blog because guess who economic losers always blame in the final analysis?

Garry Kah’s article makes several good points about our banking crises and where it might lead and I agree with most of his points. He also said the world finnancal crises is likely to help bring persecution to the Jews they have a history of becoming the scapegoats. You can read Kah’s excellent insights here wall street in crises.

Here is also another link that fully explains why the confused free marketer’s are really bringing about its own distruction by embracing the ideas of Marxism.

In spite of what you have been told the U.S. has the largest oil potential than any other known area in the world. We have enough oil in shale to last for hundreds of years. If we actually went all out to produce these resources we could be a oil exporter in a few decades. By the way, Shale oil can be recovered with present technology with little environmental impact and produce gasoline for less than $2 a gallon but since it is on federal land congress has put it off limits for energy development.

So frankly the energy shortage has more to do with politics than anything else. When you have two trillion barrels of oil in reserve and 1/4 of the coal deposits on earth you do not have a energy shortage unless certain people want you to have an energy shortage.

American Thinker: The Myth of No Oil

Predictions of nationwide oil supply exhaustion soon became regular occurrences, with seven made prior to 1950[2], even though the United States was the world’s largest crude oil producer until 1973. Indeed, through the mid-1980’s, most oil consumed in the country was of domestic origin. Today, however, the United States imports the majority of its oil and, due to environmental regulations, has not authorized the construction of new refineries since the mid-1970s.

Yet, our country does not lack adequate oil resources. Rather, supply estimate methodologies seriously undercount our true oil resources. This and our lack of political will to use advanced recovery technologies contribute to the myth of no oil. This myth hobbles our ability to draw on our own existing resources and keeps us in a dependent posture, looking to others to provide for us.

A potentially significant supply of oil is trapped in shale in the American West. Rocks in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming alone are believed to contain over 1,500 billion barrels of oil. Previous government experiments with shale oil production were labor and energy intensive and environmentally disruptive, producing little oil. But efforts by private companies have revolutionized the extraction technology with development of an in situ process of heating rocks, trapping oil and extracting it profitably at oil prices of just over $30 a barrel. Shell Oil, the leader in this new technology, estimates that it will be able to produce one million barrels of oil per acre.

Meanwhile, it is estimated that oil production from tar sands in Canada and South America would add an additional 600 billion barrels to the world’s supply.[5] Canada, which does not segregate conventional oil from tar sands, is currently the largest U.S. oil supplier with about half of Canadian crude derived from oil sands. This oil is forecast to reach 3 million barrels per day in 2015. The Economist[6] recently noted that there exist “174 billion barrels of proven reserves in the oil sands of Alberta” alone.

Another technology, coal liquefaction to produce oil, becomes competitive when the price of conventional oil is higher than $30 per barrel, according to U.S. Energy Department estimates. The coal-to-oil process produces natural gas and removes pollutants that are released when coal is burned to produce electricity. With the United States possessing 27% of the world’s coal supply, U.S. coal-to-oil production could be substantial. South Africa has been producing petrol and diesel from coal since 1955 and currently produces 40% of the country’s oil from this source.

Its getting close to Halloween and I know you all want to read a good scare story. Well learn what the banks and investment firms have been doing with your money and you will know why Washington and the banks are in a cold sweat panic and saying if the government does not bring stability the whole house of cards is going to come crashing down into the second great depression.

For a house of cards to fall it has to be a house of cards to begin with and this article about derivatives will take you on a tour of the house. After you read this article you will not only know everything you need to know about derivatives. You will also know why everyone in the know is turning white with fear long before Halloween.

There simply is no reason why a sub-prime crises would cause all these investment bank failures unless they have been doing something with your money that is very risky. Turns out they have. Instead of making sound investments with your money they have been gambling at the Derivatives Casinos. All these firms are now so leveraged on their next bet that any loss at the wheel of fortune makes them unable to pay their bills and if they cannot pay their bills other banks that are levered to the teeth because of their own gambling habits also cannot pay their bills and if they cannot pay their bills none of the others can pay their bills either and if none of the others can pay their bills there is no money to borrow for anyone in the nation.

Read about it for yourself but anyone who thinks the crises is over is not paying attention. Also take note that the following article was written before the announcement of the really frighting government bailout that was announced today to bail out all the derivative gamblers bad debts. Yeah, the government has to do this taxpayer bailout because all the gamblers were not gambling with their own money they were gambling with your retirement, insurance and investment incomes and everything else.

Next years Halloween fright night will be about the coming rapid hyperinflation that will bring you green toilet paper.

OpEdNews » It’s the Derivatives, Stupid! Why Fannie, Freddie and AIG Had to Be Bailed Out

Until recently, most people had never even heard of derivatives; but in terms of money traded, these investments represent the biggest financial market in the world. Derivatives are financial instruments that have no intrinsic value but derive their value from something else. Basically, they are just bets. You can “hedge your bet” that something you own will go up by placing a side bet that it will go down. “Hedge funds” hedge bets in the derivatives market. Bets can be placed on anything, from the price of tea in China to the movements of specific markets.

“The point everyone misses,” wrote economist Robert Chapman a decade ago, “is that buying derivatives is not investing. It is gambling, insurance and high stakes bookmaking. Derivatives create nothing.”1 They not only create nothing, but they serve to enrich non-producers at the expense of the people who do create real goods and services. In congressional hearings in the early 1990s, derivatives trading was challenged as being an illegal form of gambling. But the practice was legitimized by Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who not only lent legal and regulatory support to the trade but actively promoted derivatives as a way to improve “risk management.” Partly, this was to boost the flagging profits of the banks; and at the larger banks and dealers, it worked. But the cost was an increase in risk to the financial system as a whole.2

Since then, derivative trades have grown exponentially, until now they are larger than the entire global economy. The Bank for International Settlements recently reported that total derivatives trades exceeded one quadrillion dollars – that’s 1,000 trillion dollars.3 How is that figure even possible? The gross domestic product of all the countries in the world is only about 60 trillion dollars. The answer is that gamblers can bet as much as they want. They can bet money they don’t have, and that is where the huge increase in risk comes in.

Credit default swaps (CDS) are the most widely traded form of credit derivative. CDS are bets between two parties on whether or not a company will default on its bonds. In a typical default swap, the “protection buyer” gets a large payoff from the “protection seller” if the company defaults within a certain period of time, while the “protection seller” collects periodic payments from the “protection buyer” for assuming the risk of default. CDS thus resemble insurance policies, but there is no requirement to actually hold any asset or suffer any loss, so CDS are widely used just to increase profits by gambling on market changes. In one blogger’s example, a hedge fund could sit back and collect $320,000 a year in premiums just for selling “protection” on a risky BBB junk bond. The premiums are “free” money – free until the bond actually goes into default, when the hedge fund could be on the hook for $100 million in claims.

And there’s the catch: what if the hedge fund doesn’t have the $100 million? The fund’s corporate shell or limited partnership is put into bankruptcy; but both parties are claiming the derivative as an asset on their books, which they now have to write down. Players who have “hedged their bets” by betting both ways cannot collect on their winning bets; and that means they cannot afford to pay their losing bets, causing other players to also default on their bets.

The dominos go down in a cascade of cross-defaults that infects the whole banking industry and jeopardizes the global pyramid scheme. The potential for this sort of nuclear reaction was what prompted billionaire investor Warren Buffett to call derivatives “weapons of financial mass destruction.” It is also why the banking system cannot let a major derivatives player go down, and it is the banking system that calls the shots. The Federal Reserve is literally owned by a conglomerate of banks; and Hank Paulson, who heads the U.S. Treasury, entered that position through the revolving door of investment bank Goldman Sachs, where he was formerly CEO.

The Democrats are so desperate that they will say anything to get their black savior into office. There is nothing sacred to these people except their self appointed black Messiah. Lets make the comparisons that they themselves brought up.

Obama was a Left wing radical who organized the community for his racial and political agendas. Jesus was the Creator and Savior of the world who only did what His Father told Him and He died on a cross to save all who would believe that God’s righteousness to save through His Son Jesus would save believers from going to eternal hell. Some comparison!

Pontius Pilot was a governor who delivered up Jesus to be crucified because he was a coward and would not stand up to the people for a man he knew was rightious. But Sarah Palin has the guts to tell people the truth that Jesus will soon come back in power and glory to deal with all those who would not have God’s Savior to rule over them. Some comparison!

My advise is much like Joe Farah in this article. Throw the bums out of office! The Beatles once compared themselves to Jesus Christ and that was the beginning of their fall. The same should happen here. Liberals lose national presidental elections not just because of there misguided programs and misguided moral positions, they lose because they expose themselves as self-righteous elitists and people in Backwater USA start to see that these people have a mighty high arrogant opinion of themselves.

I notice that Farah did not say to vote for McCain/Palin because he has been actively telling people not to vote for the lessor of two evils of McCain or Obama. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and realize that in this world we always choose the lessor of two evils in our world leaders. In this case the choice should be quite clear.

Cohen and Brazile deserve my Demented, Delusional or Dumb Club award. Congradulations!

Jesus was no ‘community organizer’

In case you missed it, Cohen said in a House floor speech Wednesday, “[I]f you want change, you want the Democratic Party. Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about; Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

Brazile also characterized Jesus as a “community organizer” several days ago.

Let me make one thing clear – as an actually believer in Jesus: “Jesus was not a “community organizer.” Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord of the universe, the savior of humanity.

Demeaning Jesus as a “community organizer” is an insult to every Christian believer in the world. But, more importantly, it is a reckless, blasphemous and profane attack on the Divine Person who sits at the right hand of God the Father.

I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of anyone who throws around such mischaracterizations of the Living God for political gain.

Further, the allusions to Barack Obama as being Christ-like are more than some of us can take. Jesus never justified the killing of unborn children and the intentional, deliberate murder of those who miraculously survived abortions, as Barack Obama has. Jesus never advocated indoctrinating kindergarten children with “comprehensive sex education,” even against the will of their parents, as has Barack Obama. Jesus never sat at the feet of an immoral, ungodly teacher like Jeremiah Wright.

it’s not enough to make Obama pay for this. It’s time to make the Democratic Party pay.

Every two years Americans have a chance, theoretically anyway, to elect 435 new members of the House of Representatives. We have that opportunity again Nov. 4. There is also a chance to turn over 35 Senate seats.

I know all about “safe” districts. I know all about gerrymandering. I know all about the obstacles to overcoming incumbency. But bigger odds have been overcome in American history. We’ve faced much tougher challenges. Stop whining about how it’s impossible to make a difference and get to work making a difference.

The Democratic Party obviously doesn’t believe in miracles. It believes only in “community organizing.” I do believe in miracles. If you agree with me, I suggest we pray fervently between now and Nov. 4 for God to remove all the unworthy officials from Congress this year – starting with Steve Cohen of Tennessee.

James Lewis understands what is driving the Baby Boomer permissive movement of the Far Left. They are mentally ill people, some even say insane. They are the products of overly permissive parents who thought love meant using no discipline. Instead they produced a generation of rebels that attack everything good in America and in Christianity.

We continually see the product of their not being brought up properly in all their irrational actions, the drugs, and the amoral life choices they make. They pick leaders that are much more radical and insane than they are. I noticed that trend back in the 60’s it was always the most insane in the group that actually led them in their drug gatherings. The rest just followed directions like the brainless zombies that they were - nothing has changed. Of course all the Baby Boomers did not take this path especially in the Christian areas of the country where parents, God, and country are still respected and honored. Thus, there is the difference we still see between those living in rural areas of the nation and those living in most cities.

Boomer zombies were easily brainwashed by media and the left controlled education system and they readily embraced post-modernism. This insanity would redefine all truth to fit their own pragmatism. Since the times of late 60’s these mentally ill have been trying to break down American society to replace the good with what they think is fit in their own amoral demented minds.

The results can now be seen in their pick of leadership for the national Democratic party. They plan to change America into the irrational idealism of socialism that their new guru and change agent promises them. These people do not live in a real world they live on some planet where mom and dad and government takes care of all their wants and needs. On the individual level many are still dependents, they never grew up. On the national security level they hide behind mom’s skirt hoping that the bullies that mom just lectured will see the error of their ways and leave them alone. Did it ever work? It does not work with world bullies either.

In comes Sarah Palin who scares them to death because she represents the good values of America that they long ago rejected for their postmodern “do whatever is right in my own eyes insanity”. You would think that the feminists would embrace her because she will do more to advance the cause of woman in the work force and America than anyone in modern times but they won’t accept her because radical feminism was never about equal rights, it was all about insanity and rebellion against God and men.

Sarah Palin has five children, one with Downs Syndrome so the feminists now say she should be at home taking care of them. Huh? The hypocrites were saying just the oppose before Sarah Palin came on the scene. Who would say that to a man? Sarah has a husband who will spend a lot of time being with the Children. The children will do just fine and you can be sure that will have the best of professional help in raising them. So her being a mother is really not the issue that is just their hypocrisy speaking. They are really scared to death that a woman can by a strong Christian, a strong leader and a mother of five children all at the same time. In feminazies eyes a woman can only become a strong leader if she were not stupid enough to also be a Christian or insane enough to be burdened by becoming a Mother of five. That is why most feminists have few children and why they hate Sarah Palin.

So now the question in the election comes down to are there more sane Americans who want a change back to what America was before the Far Left mentally ill hippie generation subverted it, or is America now filled with mostly insane people who would choose the socialist system of the Far Left loons?

One of the problems with the future of the Far Left America is that the spoiled boomers will want to just take from others and give nothing worthwhile back. However, the home piggy bank that they love to pilferage is now empty.

American Thinker: The End of Boomer Weirdness?

The Western world went from rational thinking to the Planet of the Weird. It’s been slip-slidin’ away ever since. Normal people watch it happening everywhere, and they feel utterly helpless to stem this epidemic weirdness, often rising to the level of criminality.

Our Leftist politicians are all kind of weird. From Howard Dean’s Scream to Obama’s uncontrollable God Complex, from Hillary Who Must be Queen to Bill’s sly seductions, all the way to John Kerry’s delusions of Swiftboat heroics, and Algore’s weird idea that NASA should launch a hundred-million dollar satellite specifically to beam TV pictures of a rotating Planet Earth back to all of us — these people are not planted on terra firma. They have little planetoids going around their heads.

Nancy Pelosi’s bubblehead response to questions about oil drilling is “I’m trying to Save the Planet.” Don’t tell me that’s normal. It’s not even normal in the hare-brained precincts of San Francisco. This is the woman who took it upon herself to negotiate with Bashir Assad as soon as she was elected Speaker, while her sidekick Steney Hoyer went to the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo, to the distress of the Egyptian government. Barack Obama even sent Zbig Brzezinski over to Damascus — to do what? Negotiate with Bashir Assad? Tell him that help was on the way?

The Boomer Left even gave its weirdness a pretentious name: Post-Modernism. Old-fashioned Modernism, according to this tale, is the height of rationality. The ideal of Modernism is good sense, objectivity, reason, logic, and tolerance for competing ideas. Its symbol is the Empire State Building, square, tall, and built to minimize real estate costs on Manhattan.

The US Constitution was built as a bulwark against untrammeled lust for power. The Founders didn’t know Nancy and Harry in person, but they were pretty sure that power-mad demagogues would show up some time. They had studied history and understood human nature. As we can plainly see, they were right.

Post-Modernism leaves all that rational thinking far behind, like Alice tumbling through the looking-glass. The weirdness of the Left is not an accident; our hebephrenic media folk were taught flashy Po-Mo nonsense in their Ivy League classrooms, and they were dumb enough to fall for it. That is why they deliberately abandoned all those old-fashioned newspaper ideals of truth, objectivity and fairness. (And that’s why the Old Media are finally going bankrupt today. Hooray!)

Count Alfred Korzybski is not a household name, but he is relevant here. Korzybski was one of those eccentric Polish geniuses who come along every now and then. His useful contribution to this topic is one word: Unsanity. For Korzybski a society could be unsane without being insane

Our national conversation has become polluted, sabotaged by media weirdness.

This is where the McCain/Palin ticket may be of historic importance, because both the Senator and the Governor are quite sane folks. You can’t survive five years in the Hanoi Hilton if you don’t have a pretty firm handle on concrete reality. You don’t grow up hunting moose in Alaska if you confuse polar bears with teddy bears, as our eco-freaks seem to. Alaska is the polar opposite (so to speak) of Marin County.

If McCain and Palin win this election, we may be able to push the culture back to a level of sanity we haven’t seen for thirty years. Our colleges could start teaching reason and logic again. That would be wonderful.

Pat Buchanan brings up a very good question that I have not thought about before. The Liberal and Black expectations are that America must elect Barack Obama. So what will they do if they actually lose the election? After thinking about it I think I can already tell you.

This is not a request by the Far Left, the Blacks and the immoral special interest groups. It is a demand that we elect Barack Obama. Should Obama lose the election they will be claiming racism and election fraud and burning the cities and looting because they were disrespected and the national media will justify their actions.

Understand, that this is not a presidential election it is a coronation of the choosen King of the Liberals, Blacks and all the immoral special interest groups who wants Obama to take change out of your pocket and morality out of your mind in order to bring in a demented socialist utopia of delusion.

The Far Left elite are playing the racist card in order to put into power all their immoral programs through their chosen elitist half black man counting on the fact that race sensitive America would not dare reject a black man. If the nation does not elect Obama on a close election they will say the election was unfair so let the white controlled party and nation be dammed. If the nation does not elect him and the vote is not close they will say let this white racist nation be damned. If the nation elects him and he brings in the wealth transfer and Far Left socialist agenda that Obama stands for, the nation will be damned. So we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t elect Barack Obama.

So what will happen is that should Obama lose you will see Far Left instigation of massive civil disobedience making it necessary for McCain to either appease the Far Left and bring in the same agendas or McCain will move toward a police state, or both. The outcome might be determined by the depth of the civil disobedience.

Make no mistake, white America and all those who oppose Barack Obama’s moral positions are now being held hostage and should we choose not be black mailed the instigated civil unrest might become the biggest issues in this nation. So this election is not all about change or Iraq. There is a hidden agenda coming from the Far left controlled media, secular humanists, radical environmentalists, race baiting black leaders and all the immoral special interest groups that are forcing their agenda and perversions on this nation. They think they cannot lose no matter how this falls out and they are probably right since the moral majority is now a moral minority.

And if Obama loses?

Questions arise. With this immense moral and emotional investment in a Barack victory – by 94 to 1 in one poll black America is behind him — what happens if the nation decides he is too radical, too inexperienced, too callow, too risky to be president?

What happens if the American people reject their marching orders and say no to Barack and black America? What happens if all the hopes and dreams, hype and hoopla, end in disillusionment?

Would the defeat of Barack Obama be taken as an affront to black America? Could we be in for a time of deepening racial division rather than healing? Could we be in for a long, hot autumn like the long, hot summers some of us recall from 40 years ago?

One black preacher here suggested as much to me.

No candidate has ever been nominated by a major party with fewer credentials or a weaker claim to the presidency, or more doubts as to his core beliefs. If Obama wins, the country could be in real trouble. And if he loses, the country could be in real trouble.

What the media celebrate today, they may rue tomorrow.

I have more than once said that this would happen. North Korea has been getting freebies from America for 15 years to stop their nuclear development and has done nothing but make nukes. You cannot deal with madmen. If you read this article you will see even after the 11 disablement measures are actually taken (they have been halted) it would only take North Korea only about a year to start the facilities up again (what a great deal!). Not to even mention the secret uranium project that North Korea has that is still making nuclear material that no one is talking about or the nuclear bombs it already has made for export. So the North Koreans found ways to backed out of all the deals and have make fools out of both the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration. North Korea now hopes to take on what they know will even be a more foolish Obama Administration.

The U.S. State Department continues to be run by liberals and is in denial all over the world. They are just as loony with Iran. There is an old saying. Fool me once and shame on you, fool me twice and shame on me, fool me three times and I should get the Olympic gold metal for foolishness. Does anyone in our government know that North Korea has EMP capabilities? Does anyone care? And Rice thinks Russia will take anything we say on George or elsewhere seriously?

Maybe the world should reward the North Koreans with the Olympics and just pretend that they are such a wonderful free nation like they did with Communist China. I notice the North Koreans waited to after the Olympics to do this. Does anyone really think that was not coordinated with China? Sure, and China’s 14 year old woman gymnasts were 16 years old. You know one of these days this whole foolish appeasement thing is going to unravel worldwide and we are going to be in a world of hurt.

North Korea says it halts nuclear reactor disablement | International | Jerusalem Post

The North’s announcement marks the emergence of the biggest hurdle yet to the communist nation’s denuclearization process under a landmark deal last year and is expected to escalate tension in the nuclear talks involving China, Japan, the two Koreas, the US and Russia.

Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry said it suspended the disablement work at the reactor and other facilities at its Yongbyon nuclear complex as of August 14 because the US did not keep its promise to delist Pyongyang as a terror sponsor under last year’s deal.

The ministry also said the country will “consider soon a step to restore” the Yongbyon nuclear facilities, but did not elaborate.

Yang Moo-jin, a professor at Seoul’s University of North Korean Studies, called Tuesday’s statement “very serious” and said that it could mean Pyongyang may have decided not to deal with the administration of US President George W. Bush.

South Korean and US officials have said eight of the 11 disablement measures have been finished and that when the entire disablement is completed, it would take at least a year for the North to restart the facilities.

By Joe, Obama picked Joe Biden for his Vice President. Now that is a downright scary choice. America has said over and over again that they do not want Joe Biden as President because he is much too unstable but Obama thinks he knows better than the American people.

Just think if Obama is removed from office you will have Joe Biden as President. Well maybe that is why Obama picked him. Job security!

I can just see Joe Biden grinning his demented nuclear smile at Putin and Putin using his marshal arts skills on him thinking that Biden is about to reach for the nuclear button.

By Joe, he could go to Iran and N Korea and meet eye to eye with other mad men.

Joe Biden would challenge anyone’s thinking all right, not that I am suggesting that Obama has any real capability to critically think or he would not have chosen Biden or take the position he does on many things.

I just have to give Obama the Demented, Delusional or Dumb award for that choice. It makes as much sense as John McCain picking Joe Lieberman to win conservative voters. By Joe!

Obama Picks Sen. Joe Biden for Running Mate - America’s Election HQ

Barack Obama is preparing to appear on stage Saturday afternoon with his running mate for the first time after announcing early in the morning that he had picked Delaware Sen. Joe Biden for the second spot on the Democratic presidential ticket.

“Obviously, the most important question is: Is this person ready to be president?” Obama told “The Early Show” on CBS. Second, he said, was: “Can this person help me govern? Are they going to be an effective partner in creating the kind of economic opportunity here at home and guiding us through some dangerous waters internationally?”

And, he added: “I want somebody who is going to be able to challenge my thinking and not simply be a yes person when it comes to policymaking.

Why is this nation allowing this demented subversive group of people called by the deceptive name of “Planned Parenthood” to victimize our nations youth? I think you have to blame that on the liberal congress that you elect, on the permissive society that you allow, and on the federal and local judges elected or appointed by the amoral people that you also elect. It is time for many to look in the mirror for the blame why Planned Parenthood is allowed to plan immoral sex indoctrination of our youth and plan and promote a culture of death to the unborn. Elect a Democrat and I can assure you it will continue and even grow worse. But what do you care, most of you are demented, delusional or dumb “O” clones?

Don’t hold your breath waiting for an apology from Planned Parenthood. In their own demented and delusional way they believe in what they are doing. The real problem is that the majority of Americans do not believe enough in what they claim to believe about morals to be doing anything about it.

Planned Parenthood promotes casual sex to kids on website

A website sponsored by Planned Parenthood, the biggest player in America’s billion dollar abortion industry, is promoting oral sex and casual encounters in the name of encouraging the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, critics say.

“This website is engineered to reach the youth of America and undoubtedly will be featured in their health curriculum that is in many of our public school systems,” warned Rev. Clenard H. Childress Jr., of the Life Education And Resource Network.

The organization specifically cited a video that appears to have a black youth performing oral sex on a white youth, under the supervision of a white guidance counselor.

“It is obvious the deliberate depravation and systemic racism of Planned Parenthood continues to reach new levels of disgust,” he said.

Critics said it is time that the corporation is held accountable for the videos.

“This can’t go on,” added Damon Owens, founder of Joy Filled Marriage in West Orange, N.J.

The Planned Parenthood website is called “Take Care Down There.”

Childress said his organization also is calling on the Rainbow Coalition, led by Jesse Jackson, to demand a national boycott of Planned Parenthood and an apology for its practices.

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.”

In Canada people are being brought before hate speech tribunals for saying something that just hurts the feelings of some homosexual. It is well known how homosexual queens wear their feelings on their blouse sleeve and it costs people a lot of money to defend themselves from these pansy attacks. So just what is just about this justice system in Canada and why would you want to bring it here by voting for a demented pro hate speech big brother control freak Democrat?

Magazine cleared of ‘bigotry,’ now facing 2nd hearing

A Christian publication already cleared by the Canadian Human Rights Commission on claims its reporting on issues involving homosexuality stem from “bigotry, discrimination and hate” will have to defend itself – again – from the same charges.

De Valk, the editor, said earlier, “It is chilling to think that a publication can be hauled before a government tribunal simply for reporting to interested citizens developments in these [homosexual rights] areas of controversy.”

WND reported earlier on the Canadian procedures that give human rights commissions virtually unlimited power to “hear” allegations of “hate crimes” and issue orders in those cases.

Already, a Knights of Columbus council was fined more than $1,000 for refusing to allow its facility to be used for a lesbian “wedding,” and before that printer Scott Brockie was fined $5,000 for declining to print homosexual-themed stationery. In another case Hugh Owens was fined thousands of dollars for quoting Bible verses in a newspaper and London, Ontario, mayor Diane Haskett was fined $10,000 for refusing to proclaim a homosexual pride day.

Officials noted the United States is not immune to such cases, either, after a New Mexico photographer was fined $6,600 for refusing to meet the demands of a lesbian to take pictures at a “wedding.”

Canada Family Action Coalition has blamed the situation on “bastardized courts” because activists who claim “hurt feelings” are demanding and getting penalties imposed against those who oppose homosexuality.

Wells has alleged he was offended by the Catholic Insight. Its editor, de Valk, said the claims are unfounded and the publication simply follows the teaching of the Catholic Church on homosexuality.

Catholic Insight reported that Wells’ attack on the publication is not his first. In 2006 he tried to close down several websites including concernedchristians.ca because of their Christian content, and he targeted Ron Gray and the Christian Heritage party because the political entity posted articles “motivated by hate” of homosexuals.

Joseph Farah talks about number three on the Democratic nomination ticket. John Edwards was the “moral” candidate for president from the Democratic Party. During the campaign Edwards talked about being a devout Christian, a man full of deep compassion. Now Edwards gets exposed for what he is and he does a Bill Clinton impersonation on TV by spinning the affair as some short past moral weakness due to his sudden fame. However, everyone knows John Edwards is still lying through his teeth. John Edwards deserves the Demented Delusional or Dumb club of the week award.

Politicians at all levels lie to the public too often. If the press does not expose them there are no negative consequences to them. Has anyone ever considered a law that would make outright lying to the public a felony for those in public office and for those running for public office?

John Edwards brand of moral insanity

Is it any wonder he would sire another child or two to whom he has no moral obligations?

Is it any wonder he would leave his wife, suffering from Stage 4 breast cancer, and little children behind in North Carolina while sowing his wild oats in California?

No, it isn’t any wonder at all.

The only wonder is why he tries to hide it all.

But that is not really a wonder, is it?

Because John Edwards is a politician. He knows that to get what he really wants, namely power, he has to pretend to be something he is not. What he is not is a devoted husband, a caring and faithful father, a man of integrity.

No wonder John Edwards doesn’t have a problem with same-sex marriage – marriage doesn’t mean that much to John Edwards.

No wonder John Edwards wouldn’t mind if some perverted schoolteacher lectured his 7-year-old about homosexuality – his own kids don’t mean that much to John Edwards.

No wonder John Edwards believes it’s government’s job to meet the needs of children, the elderly, the jobless and less fortunate – because John Edwards has no concept of real compassion, not even for his own family.

Don’t flatter yourself Governor Gregoire. There is no way that this bouncer thought you looked under 21. He was simply being a ass and making an ass out of you. If you want to do something get the law changed. Control freaks and arrogant people are constantly making Senior Citizens present ID’s just because they can. This is age discrimination, it is a violation of our right to be old and not have to show proof of that to anyone. Anyone who cannot tell the deference between someone twenty and over forty should not have a job carding people and no person over the age of 40 should have to proved that they are over twenty-one to anyone.

Some Wal-Marts and markets do the same thing. The managers do not give the people they hire credit for an ounce of brains so they make them card old people using walkers. Senior citizens that are carded should simple refuse the whole purchase, demand to talk to the manager and let the store restock the entire cart. Then this stupid irrational behavior will soon stop. This bouncer receives my Demented Delusional or Dumb Club of the week award and the governor get honorary mention for not have having the state police remove the disrespectful bouncer. What next are you going to card the President? Insane!

Gov. Gregoire carded, turned away from Olympia bar | Local News | South Bureau | KING5.com | News for Seattle, Washington

OLYMPIA, Wash. - She has headlined parades, appeared on television and signed legislation.

But all that couldn’t get Governor Christine Gregoire into a downtown Olympia bar.

She is not alone. The Washington State Liquor Control Board says it gets complaints all the time from people who are clearly of age but who still get carded. Spokesperson Jennifer Skoda says the state law doesn’t spell out who should be carded. It just says where there may be a question of a person’s right to purchase liquor, the person shall be required to present ID.

“The burden is also with the licensee to ensure their patrons are over 21,” Skoda said.

Todd Ruzicka owns the bar. He says he has no idea why the part-time bouncer chose to card someone who’s almost three times his age.

Mrs Speaker I thought saving the planet is Al Gore’s job. Your job is be Speaker of the House. We are now reaping the consequences of your inability to even do a fair job at being the Speaker. Let the person with the qualifications save the planet. There is only one person that can save the planet and no, its not Al Gore either. Have they taught you nothing in that church you claim to attend?

Instead of saving the planet how about doing something to lower the oil prices before we have a complete economic collapse. No, the answer is not to open the strategic oil reserves and make ourselves vulnerable to Iran. The answer is to open up all the areas that you and your democratic congress have put off limits for drilling.

Pelosi: ‘I’m trying to save the planet’ - David Rogers - Politico.com

With fewer than 20 legislative days before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1, the entire appropriations process has largely ground to a halt because of the ham-handed fighting that followed Republican attempts to lift the moratorium on offshore oil and gas exploration. And after promising fairness and open debate, Pelosi has resorted to hard-nosed parliamentary devices that effectively bar any chance for Republicans to offer policy alternatives.

“I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” she says impatiently when questioned. “I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy.”

“I respect the office that I hold,” she says. “And when you win the election, you win the majority, and what is the power of the speaker? To set the agenda, the power of recognition, and I am not giving the gavel away to anyone.”

Let’s face it, Washington: This speaker is different. She’s the first woman ever to hold the post and a very tough one at that, with a penchant for the mystical.
