An Islamist, a Liberal, An Atheist and a Terrorist were all in a Bar

Sounds like a joke, but its deadly serious. What do these groups have in common?  They are all intolerant of any view other than the one that they believe is correct.  In the last year we have seen each of these groups engage in violence to get their way.  Recently Saudi Arabia gave someone who questioned Islam 1000 lashes and jailed that person’s attorney for being an atheist.  Liberals in the past year in the United States have exhibited a whole host of violent behavior from shouting down those they don’t like to tearing up signs and pushing and shoving.  

Instead of recognizing the true nature of Islam and these regimes that consider women to be property, our leaders are trying to reign in the Christians, who at least in recent memory have not been flogging people that have different opinions.  The Islamists want to wipe out the Jews, but our government in order to seem friendlier to Islam acts as if it is OK for Iran to get the bomb.  

I believe in free speech.  People have the right to say vile things without getting jailed or shouted down. The Bill of Rights was created to protect differences of opinion.  It is not OK to tell lies.  It is not OK to brand the Tea Party as Terrorist or Evangelical Christians as Terrorists.  The believers in Christ are not out there killing people.  The Muslims are killing people every day in the name of Allah. They are the vast majority of terrorists. They have avowed to kill all the Jews.  Nevertheless our government supports the the Islamic states over the safety Israel.  

It is about time for our government to recognize who its true friends are.  People interested in tearing down prosperity, and punishing Christians are not the true friends of the United States, either internally or externally.  Helping people that want to kill you is stupid. Persecuting your true friends is stupid.  A time is coming where these policies will destroy Israel and the future of this country. Hopefully is is not already too late.  

 

Teachers Supporting Government Oppression — Who Would Have Thunk It.

The Federal Government is getting ready to put its fiscal boot on Indiana and to make an example of the State because it has opted out of Common Core.  In a letter, a clear threat to the State,if the Federal Government deems the State’s new standards as less stringent than Common Core the State will lose its No Child Left Behind exemption and millions in education funding.  The fact is, whether the State’s standards are stricter than those of Common Core or not, the Feds will say they are not up to snuff.  The Feds are planning to make an example of Indiana in order to make sure other States stay in line and don’t opt out.  Common Core opens the door for this oppressive Federal Education grab.  

Hidden in Common Core is revisionist history, dumbed down math, and a data collection protocol designed to let the Federal Government  “guide” your children into the the career that the Feds think is best for them.  The Soviet Union before it failed did just this by identifying talents and putting kids where they though those kids should go.  Of course, if the need is for factory workers, suddenly the kids are suited for the factory.  If the kid is a great athlete and a great artist he will be forced to be one or the other because the government has a hole he fits in.  Common Core is totalitarianism at its worst.  

There are teacher’s ads running nationwide supporting Common Core and telling everyone how wonderful this ultimate power grab of your children’s future is.  The concept of being College and Career ready is nothing more than being able to say to a child; “based on your prior achievement you are going to have to be a plumber.”  Einstein would have been a janitor based on his early schooling. These teachers that support Common Core are traitors to freedom and traitors to the very principles that teachers should follow. 

Common Core is about dumbing everyone down to the lowest common denominator not bringing everyone up to their greatest potential.  It used to be that teachers cared about every students maximum achievement, not their minimum test passing ability. Teachers unions protect the weakest teachers while not rewarding the ones that really care about their kids’ future. This leads to less and less true education. Common Core solves this by dictating not the education but the tests the kids pass.  Education as such is destroyed.  The ability for kids to think and be their best is destroyed. The bleak future of government assigned jobs and dictated work roles is well on its way to being created.  

Wake UP —————-  This Failed in Every Country that Tried It. (Chine, USSR, Eastern Europe before  the wall came down.)

Common Core is the single largest step toward a state run economy.  If you think the failure of the economy in the last five years is something, Common Core will make today look like the good old days spreading misery and poverty beyond reason.  If you are a teacher, learn your history, learn the facts, not what the government is telling you.  Oppose Common Core.

Thought Control In Full Swing — 1984 — 2014

Do you watch TV, see movies, look at news on any of the major stations other than Fox (though they are not fully free of this) then you are being influenced by those that want to control you.  They want to control your buying patterns through advertising, and they want to control your political views by presenting stories that move you in the direction they support.  At least with advertising its a one to one relationship, ads tell you what they want you to believe.  Even the Coke bottle in the middle of the sitcom is not all that subtle.

The political manipulation is far more insidious.

It tries to get you to believe that we are over populated, that we are in danger from every angle and need government to protect us, that we are about the burn up in a global warming hell.  Facts and science do not matter. There has been no evidence of global warming for the last 17 years, yet this week there has been a big Obama push to tell us how horrible and dire this problem is.  The government counts on the media to just repeat the stories they produce without investigation.  On almost every channel, every day the same stories with the same wording are repeated endlessly.  The stories about the true strength of our economy or about the poor handling of our foreign policy are routinely not covered.  

This is not an accident.  Government with the support of the media is presenting information to us to control our attitudes and opinions. Those that do not fall in to the lies are called names and vilified. Just look at the Tea Party.  That is why the carnage at many of the nation’s abortion clinics is not reported.  Yes, they are killing babies, but some of those are being born alive before they are killed.  Many of the women are harmed physically through substandard care.  Like the Gosnell clinic, the full breath of the truth is hidden.  The persecution of Christians in the military is not reported.  Movies like Noah promote an overpopulation message although the US population growth figures are next to nil and have been for years.  

Yes, we are being manipulated.  Facts do not matter just what controls the populace.  The media should be ashamed as repeating spoon fed stories is nothing but criminal.  It is rumor and baseless, but it pushes the governments agenda.  Why have a news media if they abdicate their responsibilities. 

Don’t watch those channels.  Perhaps at some point their advertisers will get the message.  1984 is here.  If we don’t toss the soma soon all those that do not drink the cool-ade will all be herded into pens.

 

 

 

Big Stuff — Little Stuff — Ask One

There is a lot of big stuff going on in the world, Obamacare, Benghazi, a sour economy, Ukraine, Crimea, terrorists, the UN, Healthcare, politics. Lots of little stuff too, laundry, dishes, the lawns,(ugh), shoes, tv, video, and Miley Cyrus.  So with all that going on, have you touched base with the people you know?  Have you called your family members recently?  I will confess I am not as good at that as I ought to be.  Our time here is limited we should make the most of the relationships that we have. In the long run, that and eternity are all that matter.  

Its a challenge in a busy world to nurse and grow the things that matter.  I suppose, if it were easy we would not have anyone we would call anti-social. So, ask at least one person how they are doing today.  Really care and listen to the answer.  It will enrich your life. 

Amnesty — Let’s Put Americans at the Back of the Bus

Tech companies are lobbying Congress to approve an amnesty bill particularly one which permits more H1Bs to come to the United States and work.  This fills their needs to have experience and cheaper tech labor to fill in positions.  Americans with tech skills get overlooked. Newly trained college graduates get overlooked.  Just like with agriculture getting immigrants to do the labor is good for business at the expense of American citizens.

The media has been all for opening the borders and flooding the country with illegal immigrants.  I would ask the following questions.

Why, when it is clear that an immigration bill will prevent Americans from getting jobs do you support this bill?

Are business interest powering your decision to support this bill?

When we have not sealed out borders and terrorists are still able to waltz into the United States why would you support an immigration bill?

Do you want Americans to be hungry?

The US Labor Participation Rate is the worst now since 1978 why would you support a bill that makes jobs for Americans harder to get?

Do you want Americans to be killed by terrorists?

How much have business interests paid you to support an immigration bill?

How much have politicians paid you to support and immigration bill?

Is the concept of open borders just so new age you can’t resist?

American jobs and freedoms created the ability for the media to have such influence.  If the media continues to support the erosion of American sovereignty it won’t be long before their influence will diminish into nothing.

 

John Kerry — Anti Semite, Narcissist, Egoist

Breitbart quoted John Kerry as he tried to walk back his negative statements about Israel.  

Let’s examine just one of his statements:

“I will not allow my commitment to Israel to be questioned by anyone, particularly for partisan, political purposes, so I want to be crystal clear about what I believe and what I don’t believe,” Kerry said.

So what makes him so special that he won’t allow people to question his commitment? His own actions betray his lack of commitment to the survival of Israel.   

Why does he not call forcefully for the cessation of rockets coming into Israel by cutting off the funds the US gives to the Palestinians?

The US is helping to fund the terrorist acts against Israel by giving funds to the Palestinians, why does he not call for that to stop?

Yes, Mr. Kerry we do not believe you have the best interest of Israel at heart.  We have every right to question your commitment.  Are you familiar with the first amendment?  Do you plan to have those that call you a bigot and an Anti-Semite arrested?  You can accuse Israel of being something its not even as Israel takes tremendous extra risk by letting Palestinians come into the mainland to work even though many have promised the destruction of the Jewish state.  I dare to question you.  That is the thing about this country it allows for people to express their political beliefs.  

You could make false accusations against our military in Vietnam and get away with it.  People forget your treasonous actions.  What gives you the right to say we can’t question your commitment?  Your actions and statements speak loudly as to your true commitment.

If you had a commitment to the state of Israel you would long ago have cut off funds to the Palestinians and sent troops into Gaza to route out Hamas.  Instead, you support Hamas’ continued involvement with the Palestinian Authority and their call for the destruction of Israel. You and your boss have armed Al-Qaeda in Libya with the deaths of Americans as a result.  You all have supported the Muslim Brotherhood who also call for the destruction of Israel. You have let Iran stay within arms length of getting a nuclear weapon. Yes, we question your commitment to Israel’s security and survival.

Please read the Constitution.  It is not unclear on our right to say what we believe.  It has protected you over the years yet you do not value its contents.  It is not a list of suggestions.  It is the law of the land.  We have the right to question you.  I hope and pray the media does its job and asks you the hard questions. I hope they question your commitment to the security of Israel.  I hope they question your commitment to the security of the United States as well. 

John Kerry — Is He an Anti-semite

John Kerry criticizes Israel.  Yes, it is a pattern from both President Obama and John Kerry.  Anytime the Palestinians pooh they praise them for being such wonderful people.  If Israel so much as stops a rocket from killing its citizens they talk about how unfair Israel is to the poor rocket shooting, Jew killers who are just misunderstood.  A few questions for the administration.

If Cuba fired missiles into Florida every day would you be supporting the Cubans or defending Americans?

Why do the Jews not have the same right to defend themselves?

Why is it you expect Israel to make a deal with Hamas who promises to kill every Jew now in Israel and across the world?

Why is Israel the villain when its willing to support a two state solution while the Palestinians refuse to even recognize that Israel can exist?

Why does the administration bully Israel while letting the 10,000 rocket launches from the Palestinian territories into Israel per year slide?

Why is the United States siding with the people that have vowed to kill Americans as well as Jews?

Why does the United States support Arabs and totalitarian governments more than it supports the only democratic ally we have in the middle east?

Does the US government recognize Israel’s right to exist?

If Hamas is deemed a terrorist group, why has the US government not supported their destruction inside of Gaza?

Does the US government plan on letting as many Jews as possible die in the middle east?

Does the US government secretly support Iran getting a nuclear weapon so they can destroy Israel?

Are the US government, John Kerry and Barrack Obama anti-Semitic?

Perhaps it is time to ask this question.  Their actions are doing nothing to secure Israel and much to put Israel at harm. That seems pretty anti-Semitic to me.

 

Media Questions — Keystone Pipeline

Even major unions are calling Obama’s decision to delay the Keystone pipeline a spineless politically motivated decision.  It is a shame that not only on the Keystone pipeline but a whole host of ill advised energy policy decisions have occurred during the Obama administration and the media has given the administration a complete and inexcusable pass.  Let’s explore questions that should be asked. 

Keystone pipeline

Even after multiple environmental studies showing its safety how can the administration justify delaying this project?

Does the administration value its democratic donor(s) over putting Americans to work?

Doesn’t the delay in this project increase the possibility of an environmental disaster by rail or semi-tanker spill?

Why are the unions speaking out against the administration at this time?

Solyndra

How many green companies received money from the administration but have since failed?

How much money from those failures has been recovered from the democratic donors that got the funds?

Why is the government investing in companies who have not proven the ability to earn a profit in the open market?

Why has green money gone overseas to help non-American companies?

Why has the government purposely been trying to destroy the coal industry?

Is the government picking up the tab for the higher energy prices that their policies have caused?

What is the measure of human suffering higher gas prices have caused?

Since gas prices have more than doubled because of Obama’s policies what is he doing now to reverse that trend?

What percent of our energy needs is currently being met by fossil fuels?

If the government destroys fossil fuel output do they have an affordable in place technology?

If they don’t have an affordable technology why do they expect the American people to absorb the cost that is putting Americans at financial risk?

Why is the governments control of the energy sector more important than the lives or American citizens?

Does energy ideology supersede people’s welfare?

Hasn’t the failure of these energy companies pointed out the folly of government mandated energy policy?

With no evidence of global warming now for the last 15 years why is the government still pushing that as a reason to bankrupt the American people?

How many laws were violated in handing out green energy contracts?

What prosecutions has the attorney general started against the energy companies that cost the taxpayers billions of dollars?

Who gained from this billion dollar giveaway?

Why has the administration not been held accountable for this?

Where was the congressional over-site on all these failed company investments?

 

 

Doing the Job of the Media — Of Guns and Ammo

Over the past 4 years the Federal government has been buying up tremendous amount of ammo causing in some cases shortages where certain caliber shells were not available to the public.  It’s not like the ATF or FBI is buying all this ammo, but the FDA, the EPA, OSHA and other federal agencies.  We are not talking about enough rounds for small enforcement actions.  We are talking millions of rounds all total.  

Our media needs to ask:

What does the EPA or OSHA need with 100,000’s of rounds of ammo?

Is the government forming an unofficial militia like the Nazi brown shirts?

What is the real reason behind these purchases?

Who specifically authorized these purchases and what budgetary line item was assigned to them?

How does the purchase of these rounds fit into the mission of these agencies?

Where are these rounds now?

Is the government planning to use these rounds on US citizens and if so under what scenario?

Is the purchase of these rounds an attempt to disarm the US populace?

What was the White House’s involvement in these purchases?

How are these rounds being distributed and to whom?

Where is the constitutional authority to arm Federal Non-Military, non-law-enforcement agencies?

What Congressional over site has there been on these purchases? 

Isn’t arming the government in this way a clear step toward tyranny?

 

Doing the Job of the Media — Part I — Fast and Furious

This will undoubtedly be a multi-part post since thinking of the questions the media should ask Obama and his representatives takes a bit of thought.   That being said, if I, an average non journalist, a completely untrained individual can come up with the questions that should be asked of the administration, its department heads and their associated spokespeople, then how much more effective should questions asked by the media be.  Unfortunately, over the past 5 years most of their questions are impotent and ineffective. Therefore, I am  producing a list of questions the media can ask.    

I hope that everyone reading this will send this list to as many reporters, newrooms, newspapers and television stations as they can until our media outlets start asking the questions that matter.  We will start with fast and furious but each day we will add to the list.

President Obama, Eric Holder was held in contempt for not providing documents related to our giving guns to the Mexican drug cartels.  American agents have died as a result of that policy, Why does he continue to serve and not produce the documents?

Since Mr. Holder and your administration have failed to assist Congress in getting to the details of what happened can you explain why you supported giving guns to Mexican drug lords?

Since Mr. Holder was held in contempt why is he not in jail rather than serving as attorney general?

How can an attorney general have such contempt for the law and continue to stonewall Congress?

Mr. President do you support having the attorney general break the law and not comply with Congressional requests?

If you don’t support giving guns to Mexican drug lords what specific steps have you taken to recover the guns our government gave to the drug lords?

By what specific date will Congress have the documents requested?

What specific people have been terminated from government service as a result of their giving guns to criminals?

What criminal charges have been filed as a result of giving these guns to Mexican drug cartels?

Why is no one serving time for the distribution of guns to drug lords?  

Did the drug lords pass a background check as is required by the law?

How did the justice department get around that requirement in order to deliver these guns?

Did the administration plan to use this program to make gun ownership in the United States more difficult?

If the administration did not plan to use this program to make gun ownership in the United States more difficult what was its intended objective?  How was that objective to be achieved?  If the guns were to be tracked what steps were taken to allow for them to be tracked before they were sold?  What documents support those contentions?
