| Holiday Gifts Banned in Elementary School Gift Shop |
[Nov. 19th, 2009|08:17 pm] |
11/19/2009.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the latest war on Christmas:
"The Byam Elementary School in Chelmsford, Massachusetts recently asked parents to donate holiday gifts to its holiday gift shop; the shopping days are December 1-4.
Shopping guidelines informed that “Seasonal items such as snowmen, mittens, snowflakes are a big hit.” But it also had a list of “Items NOT Permitted.”
The school was very specific about which items it considers taboo: “No Christmas, Chanukah or religious items,” and “No Santa, candy canes or stockings.” How snowmen made the cut but stockings did not was not explained.
The school, of course, is observing Christmas by closing, yet it is not allowing Christmas gifts to be sold in its holiday gift shop, thus making it inexplicable why gifts celebrating the holiday being celebrated are banned.
Some may see this as simply absurd. We don’t. We see it as pernicious: in the name of diversity and inclusion, the multicultural tyrants get to do what they have always wanted to do—censor Christmas.
Parents upset by this authoritarian decision are meeting soon to overturn the ban. Give them support and let Dr. Jane Gilmore, the school’s principal, know how you feel. |

| Officially NOT a Democrat anymore.... |
[Oct. 24th, 2009|09:09 am] |
I finally did it. I have been a Democrat for a few decades now. For this past year, as I've seen my fellow Democrats play with their power in destructive ways, I've sort of felt, "well, it's only on paper". But I have seen too much this past year not to take care of the simple task I needed to do.
As an American with respect for our Constitution, I couldn't spend one more day officially associated with our Socialist party. I am officially NOT a Democrat.
I kind of feel like I've been to confession. :/

Illegal Health Reform __ By David B. Rivkin Jr. and Lee A. Casey Saturday, August 22, 2009 President Obama has called for a serious and reasoned debate about his plans to overhaul the health-care system. Any such debate must include the question of whether it is constitutional for the federal government to adopt and implement the president's proposals. Consider one element known as the "individual mandate," which would require every American to have health insurance, if not through an employer then by individual purchase. This requirement would particularly affect young adults, who often choose to save the expense and go without coverage. Without the young to subsidize the old, a comprehensive national health system will not work. But can Congress require every American to buy health insurance? In short, no. The Constitution assigns only limited, enumerated powers to Congress and none, including the power to regulate interstate commerce or to impose taxes, would support a federal mandate requiring anyone who is otherwise without health insurance to buy it.

| Is there a concern with the "LIVE" H1N1 Vaccine. And, if not, why not? |
[Oct. 24th, 2009|08:14 am] |
It is well known, if not commonly discussed, that during outbreaks of the Polio virus and the immunization programs related with that epidemic, there were a significant number of cases of "live vaccine induced Polio"
( More about Vaccine Induced Polio )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Interestingly Oct.9, 2009 the initial shipments of H1N1 "live nasal version" became available in Connecticut. Those who wanted the vaccine couldn't line up fast enough to get their young children vaccinated in this way.
Perhaps the nasal vaccine is a good one. Perhaps there will be no short or long term negative effects to these children's immune systems or otherwise.
But what about the rest of the population in Connecticut? What about the exposure of all the "unvaccinated" individuals to the now thousands and thousands of individuals who have been vaccinated with a live version of the virus?
In theory, and I don't understand why I don't even see people talking about this at all, couldn't there be "vaccine induced cases of the H1N1 virus" among those exposed to these young children who are now carriers of this live virus?
This week some high schools in Connecticut are being closed for a number of days due to extremely high numbers, sometimes 40%, of sick students. They are blaming these school closures on H1N1. Compare that 40% to the more customary 6% out on any given day.
Is this mere coincidence that the vaccine arrives and is distributed in CT, and a few weeks later we have epidemics of the virus shutting down high schools for days? Or is there an exposure issue with regard to the live vaccine?
Just a thought, and a question that nobody seems to be asking.

The Nine Voting Lives of ACORN's Darnell Nash
The Nine Voting Lives of ACORN's Darnell Nash
Canada Free Press
By Matthew Vadum
October 8, 2009
The activist group ACORN, which has long worked with criminals as it preys on the weak and the troubled, is on the verge of yet another public relations catastrophe.
That's because a cross-dressing Ohio male escort whom ACORN registered multiple times to vote was convicted of full-fledged vote fraud in addition to the lesser crime of voter registration fraud. A spokesman for Cleveland prosecutor Bill Mason confirmed yesterday that a local investigation of ACORN remains wide open.
The conviction of Darnell Nash, apparently known by several aliases including Serina "Sexy Slay" Gibbs, is hugely significant for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that ACORN has long maintained that vote fraud, as opposed to the lesser crime of voter registration fraud, essentially never happens.
ACORN's Project Vote affiliate has tried to get rid of the problem of vote fraud by defining it out of existence. Lorraine C. Minnite, a political science professor at Columbia University's Barnard College, argues in an ACORN/Project Vote report called "The Politics of Voter Fraud" that "[t]he claim that voter fraud threatens the integrity of American elections is itself a fraud." Minnite is also a senior fellow at the liberal think tank Demos.

| Some history on the prestigious "award" bestowed on our president... |
[Oct. 9th, 2009|07:07 am] |
Saturday, October 13, 2007 WHY THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE HAS BEEN A JOKE FOR YEARS  As Reliapundit pointed out, Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize and joined the likes of Carter, Annan and Arafat. I was disgusted but not surprised at all to see Al Gore win. When the same award has been given to a terrorist, the worst U.S. president ever (who has done more to breed instability in the world than anyone I can think of) and a corrupt leader of the UN it doesn't shock you to see it given to a fraud like Al Gore.
It doesn't matter that a British judge of all people recently declared this about Gore's propaganda film:
The court ruled the Guidance Notes to Teachers must make clear that:
* The film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument.
* If teachers present the film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination.
* Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children. Powerline does an excellent job of giving examples of just some of the recent recipients of this meaningless award:
2005
MOHAMED ELBARADEI (joint winner). He's done such a nice job with Iran.
2004
WANGARI MAATHAI. The Kenyan ecologist peacefully teaches that the AIDS virus is a biological agent deliberately created by the Man.
2002
JIMMY CARTER JR., former President of the United States of America. A true cosmopolitan, he has undermined the foreign policy of his own country and vouched for the bona fides of tyrants and murderers all over the world.
2001
UNITED NATIONS, New York, NY, USA.
KOFI ANNAN, United Nations Secretary General. Among other things, they have respectively served as the vehicle for, and presided over, one of the biggest scams in history.
1994
YASSER ARAFAT (joint winner), Chairman of the Executive Committee of the PLO, President of the Palestinian National Authority. He was a cold-blooded murderer both before and after receiving the award.
1992
RIGOBERTA MENCHU TUM, Guatemala. She is the notorious Guatemalan faker and author, sort of, of I, Rigoberta Menchu.
1988
THE UNITED NATIONS PEACE-KEEPING FORCES New York, NY, U.S.A. Notwithstanding rapes and sex abuse committed by the team in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and the Congo, still doing fine work all over the world.

If this is what the award represents, perhaps it is fitting that our new president should be on their list of "winners". Congratulations Mr. President.

Perhaps the ultimate expression of the liberal echo chamber and the current utter disconnect between Democrats and the rest of American society was reflected in a Rasmussen Reports poll released on Tuesday. The main topic of the poll, voter anger with current federal government policies, was interesting enough, with 90% of Republicans “at least somewhat angry” versus 44% of Democrats. In an ominous sign for Democratic electoral prospects during the next two election seasons, 77% of independent voters were also at least somewhat angry with federal government policies. More than 70% of Republican and independent voters surveyed “say neither party has the answers”, showing that the GOP has plenty of work to do to motivate voters and convince us that there’s some positive reason to vote Republican. (For some voters, a candidate’s just not being a Democrat might be enough – as the converse was certainly enough in 2008 – but that’s generally a thin reed on which to tie your electoral hopes.) Beyond the interesting implications of those numbers, however, a sub-section of the same poll was truly stunning, even for this jaded observer of politicians and the electorate: The question was “How concerned are you that those opposed to President Obama’s policies will resort to violence?” Of course, we’ve all heard about Nancy Pelosi demonizing Tea Party participants and MSNBC anchors bemoaning white gun-toting racists (while they knowingly cropped the TV image to hide the fact that the legally armed citizen was black). Apparently the Pelosi-Goebbels strategy, i.e. tell a very big lie and tell it very often, is working: According to the poll, “Forty-three percent (43%) of voters nationwide are at least somewhat concerned that the political anger will spill over into violence, as some politicians have suggested. Twenty-two percent (22%) are Very Concerned.” But as paranoid as that number sounds, let’s dig a little deeper: ( Read more... ) |

Biden swears in Kirk, successor to Sen. Kennedy  By ANDREW MIGA, Associated Press Writer Andrew Miga, Associated Press Writer – 2 hrs 39 mins ago WASHINGTON – Former Democratic Party chairman Paul G. Kirk Jr. stepped in Friday as the temporary replacement in the Senate for his longtime friend, the late Edward Kennedy. Kirk said taking over the Massachusetts seat left him with mixed emotions, particularly because he was still feeling the "profound absence" of his old pal. "It's exhilarating and sobering at the same time," Kirk said. Democrats applauded his arrival. Kirk's swearing in by Vice President Joe Biden gave Senate Democrats a filibuster-resistant, 60-vote majority with the health care fight at a critical juncture. Contentious battles also lay ahead on climate change and financial regulation. The swearing in came just a few hours after a Massachusetts judge rejected a Republican request to delay it. The state GOP had argued that Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick exceeded his constitutional authority by appointing Kirk before a traditional 90-day legislative waiting period had expired. State lawmakers passed a bill this week giving Patrick the power to choose an interim senator. - Also known as "making up the rules as you go along". Kirk said he did not spend much time worrying about the GOP's legal challenge. "We're prepared to go to work," he said. ( Read more... )</div></div> |

Obama favors investigation into ACORN's activities
The video is only the latest problem for the group, which had nearly $1 million embezzled by its founder's brother and has been accused of voter registration fraud. The House and Senate voted last week to deny federal funds to ACORN.
Obama told ABC's "This Week" in an interview broadcast Sunday that what he saw on the video "was certainly inappropriate and deserves to be investigated." But the president did not say who should investigate.
And he said it is not a major national issue he pays much attention to."
(These are NOT THE DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.)
"Frankly, it's not really something I've followed closely," Obama said. "I didn't even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money."

Carter: Race plays role in Obama dislike Tuesday, September 15, 2009 6:44 PM by Mark Murray
Filed Under: Democrats, Barack Obama From NBC's Mark Murray
In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, former Democratic President Jimmy Carter attributed much of the conservative opposition that President Obama is receiving to the issue of race. "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man," Carter said. "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that share the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African Americans." Carter continued, "And that racism inclination still exists. And I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of the belief among many white people, not just in the South but around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply."
~~~~~
From my own personal perspective, as a northerner, an ancestor of an enslaved ethnic group, and a conservative, I not only wholeheartedly reject this stereotype that anyone and everyone who disagrees with the president does so based on racial issues, but it makes me gag at how quickly so many accept an opinionated statement like this as some sort of miraculous truth validation.
Thank you Mr. Carter for speaking on your own behalf and on the behalf of other bigots you may personally know.
I'm sure this administration will be grateful to you for an excuse to ignore their real responsibilities and failings and, instead of accountability to the American people, they can now substitute hurt feelings and hype.

Planned lifting of ban on 'cookies' called '1984'-style spying effort

This screenshot shows computer cookies collected on WhiteHouse.gov and Recovery.gov

I was notified today that my APR on my CitiGroup-sponsored credit card was going to 29.99%. I have never made a late or short payment and have never gone over the credit limit. I have a good credit score and have been a reliable, consistent customer. Very upset, I called Citi and was informed that they made a "business decision" to raise rates and that they could not be lowered unless I closed the account. Having had the account since I was 18, and having seen it go from a $600 credit limit to a $10k credit limit, I was sadden by the idea that I either accepted this insulting hit or I closed my longest standing credit line. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the new laws enacted earlier this year had disallowed the credit companies the ability to charge varying rates based on customer performance, credit standing, and payment history because these variations are deemed "unfair" to the lower class. Basically, I am being punished because of somebody else and their lack of responsibility.
And I am livid.
As a PSA, I pass along this information and encourage all of you to double and triple check your statements, whether you carry a balance on your cards or not. I have NOT seen any APR increases on my Capital One or Chase cards, but those cards are not 45% owned by Government, Inc.
I also sent a letter to the Whitehouse, which is under the cut.
( Letter here )
I, like so many others, am TIRED. My boyfriend and I fight everyday to make sure we are self-sufficient. We do not take hand outs or aid from ANYBODY, be they government agencies or family or friends. We are trying our best to mind our own business and be successful on our own (we didn't even qualify for FAFSA during college because some ridiculous fool felt that our parents made too much money for us to need financial aid in a state where college tuition rates are higher than most other states in the country). And we're being punished because we HAVE been successful. It has GOT to stop.

[Sep. 4th, 2009|10:39 am] |
|
"If the six-way talks break down, Democrats appear to have at least two major options left for passing a health care overhaul this year, sources say. The first option is to write a bill that could garner 60 votes, and pass through regular order. This legislation would hinge on support from Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), and perhaps Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) — plus, a decision by progressives to back down from their insistence on a public option, which would be no small feat. The White House is in the midst of discussions with Snowe on a scaled-back bill that would not create a government-run insurance plan on day one, but would have some of the insurance reforms that have won broad support within Congress. The bill could set up a “trigger” – similar to what was written into the Medicare prescription drug program in 2003 – that would create a public option if certain benchmarks are not met within a period of time."

Who is behind quashing the birth certificate issue? By Joan Swirsky
Back in October of 2008, when the subject of Obama's constitutional eligibility to be president of the United States was just a blip on the radar screen of public awareness, I wrote an article about how easy it was to find my then- 92-year-old mother's birth certificate.
Frankly, I didn't think finding my mother's birth certificate was possible, given the fact that she had been born in a farmhouse in Storrs, CT, along with nine of her 10 siblings, to parents who didn't speak English. Despairing that she would never be "qualified" to receive the care [in a nursing home] that she desperately needed, I set about to find the document, which I was sure had vanished in the unreliable record-keeping of 1913. When I called the third number, I explained to the woman who answered the phone that I was "asking something impossible." I gave her my mother's first name and her father's last name. Within four minutes, she said, "Here it is!" When I expressed my amazement, the woman said: "That's nothing...we're routinely asked to find birth certificates from the 1800s, and we do that all the time!" Total time it took me to find my mother's 1913, born-in-a-farmhouse birth certificate: 10 minutes!
Obama was born not in 1913, like my mother, but in 1961 — or perhaps in 1957, according to his MySpace page, which would make him 52, born supposedly in Hawaii before it became a state in 1959. So it was quite curious that not one cyber-sleuth could find an authentic, verifiable copy of his original vault-copy birth certificate. I'm not talking about the faux version Obama posted on his website, which was deemed the real thing by FactCheck.org, a "truth"-detecting site that is sponsored by the Annenberg Foundation, the same foundation that hired Obama and his terrorist pal William Ayers and gave them millions of dollars for a research project in Chicago. In other words, the least credible source!
Even more significant is that no one in the media thought Obama's missing birth certificate worth even casual mention. Their thinking seemed to be: We're not going to check on his eligibility to be president, if we don't even question why other crucial documents were — and continue to be — sealed? For instance: his baptism certificate; elementary, high school, college and graduate school transcripts; visa(s); selective service record; alleged multiple Social Security numbers; Illinois attorney's license; Illinois State Senate records; law practice client list; Univ. of Chicago scholarly articles; financial records while a community organizer in Chicago; and medical records. I'm also curious about why Michelle Obama's law license was suspended in 1993 by the Illinois Supreme Court, but then again she wasn't running for president.
Instead, the media were frantically busy trying to divert public attention away from those pesky things known as credentials with gossip-driven tabloid reportage of Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber in order to avoid the bigger-than-Watergate potential scandal of whether or not Obama was eligible — according to the U.S. Constitution — to become President of the United States!

[Sep. 3rd, 2009|07:45 am] |
Ron Bloom, former United Steelworkers Union executive, car czar, named to oversee ALL of America’s manufacturing Union Labor Head as Czar of All U. S. Industries? – INCREDIBLE ! By Jerry McConnell Sunday, August 30, 2009 Is there anyone out there who needs any more proof that the usurper that sits illegally in the President’s chair in the Oval Office of the White House is, bit by bit, piece by piece, and day by day, in the process of totally destroying the democratic republic that once was the United States? With 80 percent of the communications network of this country shut down, for all intents and purposes, regarding reports on anything that is not popular with that usurper, you might say that they are in his back pocket. And for him, the usurper that is, if and when he reaches his goal of making America a pawn of the corrupt and dangerous United Nations he won’t have to declare the names of the totalitarian state run news and broadcast services as they will already be in place. ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC are all completely in the bag for the socialist/communist, liberal Democrats, as directed by their Commissar of Finance, George Soros. B. Hussein Obama will be the Grand Ruler of all World territories, but only in a figurehead role just as he is today here in the United States, where he is assigned to bring the country to its knees and place it in subservience to the United Nations. The latest example of this rule of fear and suppression was announced on August 24, 2009 by the National Right To Work Legal Defense Foundation, Inc. that Ron Bloom, former United Steelworkers Union executive, who was appointed by Obama as his “car czar” some months ago, will soon be named to oversee ALL of America’s manufacturing. Stacking the deck against American workers and consumers How’s that for stacking the deck against American workers and consumers? If you were nervous about corrupt and dangerous big union labor bosses running roughshod over the everyday workers and those of us who have to pay the freight for all manufactured materials in the past, you can quintuple your worries now that Obama has a bona fide, legitimate, illegitimate lackey to break knees and fingers of all non-complying workers in ALL places of manufacturing employment. Obama promised the suck-up unions that poured millions of dollars of workers dues into his campaign that he would repay them; and he did it brazenly and publicly. This is just one more step to make complete the takeover of our country a fait accompli or in labor union thug language, ‘a dun deel’. ( Read more... ) |

Obama Regime Turns National Endowment for the Arts Into Propaganda Apparatus "'On Thursday August 6th, I was invited by the National Endowment for the Arts to attend a conference call scheduled for Monday August 10th hosted by the NEA, the White House Office of Public Engagement, and United We Serve.'
'So we have the nation's largest arts funder, which is a federal agency staffed by the administration, with those that they potentially fund together on a conference call discussing taking action on issues under vigorous national debate. Does there appear to be any potential for conflict here?'
'Discussed throughout the conference call was a hope that this group would be one that would carry on past the United We Serve campaign to support the President's initiatives and those issues for which the group was passionate. The making of a machine appeared to be in its infancy, initiated by the NEA, to corral artists to address specific issues.'
'Through providing guidelines to the art community on what topics to discuss and providing them a step-by-step instruction to apply their art form to these issues, the 'nation's largest annual funder of the arts' is attempting to direct imagery, songs, films, and literature'
"The Constitution attempts to exclude the federal government from that which is not its proper business because anything controlled by politicians will be used for political ends when the wrong kind of people find their way into power."
Democratic Health Care Bill Divulges IRS Tax Data "One of the problems with any proposed law that's over 1,000 pages long and constantly changing is that much deviltry can lie in the details."
"Section 431(a) of the bill says that the IRS must divulge taxpayer identity information, including the filing status, the modified adjusted gross income, the number of dependents, and "other information as is prescribed by" regulation. That information will be provided to the new Health Choices Commissioner and state health programs and used to determine who qualifies for 'affordability credits.'
Section 245(b)(2)(A) says the IRS must divulge tax return details -- there's no specified limit on what's available or unavailable -- to the Health Choices Commissioner. The purpose, again, is to verify 'affordability credits.'
Section 1801(a) says that the Social Security Administration can obtain tax return data on anyone who may be eligible for a 'low-income prescription drug subsidy' but has not applied for it."
"Over at the Institute for Policy Innovation (a free-market think tank and presumably no fan of Obamacare), Tom Giovanetti argues that: 'How many thousands of federal employees will have access to your records? The privacy of your health records will be only as good as the most nosy, most dishonest and most malcontented federal employee.... So say good-bye to privacy from the federal government. It was fun while it lasted for 233 years.'"
Organizing for America Recruits Snitches Castro-Style "Heather M went undercover and volunteered to become an online brownshirt in the cause of healthcare nazification. Soon she received the following email from the DNC's Organizing for America:
'Friend — Thank you for talking to your neighbors about health care. The conversations you are having are important in the debate about reforming our health care system. We noticed that you haven't reported what you learned while talking to your neighbors. There are only three days left before your list will be returned and given to someone else, and we want to ensure we receive the results of all of your hard work. To report back to us, just go to your Neighbor to Neighbor dashboard and click 'Report Contacts.' Then, just click on each person to let us know what they said.'" I'm hoping this isn't what it sounds like.
Meet Obama’s newest Census collectors: Your kids! "they’re turning your own children into proxy Census collectors. Specifically targeted: Bilingual children whom the government is relying on to reach non-English-speaking parents.
The White House is also joining with Sesame Street to help preschoolers evangelize about the Census to their parents.
Via USA Today:
'Anyone tempted to ignore the 2010 Census will have a tough time doing it — especially if they have kids in school.
The government has launched Census in Schools, an all-out campaign targeting superintendents, principals, teachers, students and, indirectly, parents, as schools open across the nation this month and next. The message: The Census is coming and here’s why everyone should care."
"“It’s great to reach the children because children are such strong voices in their homes,” says Renee Jefferson-Copeland, chief of the Census schools program. “In households that are linguistically isolated, they can express the information to their parents.”
…Between January and March, the Census Bureau will help plan a week of Census education in schools. During Census Week, teachers will devote 15 minutes every day for five days to the topic by discussing such things as civic participation, confidentiality or geography."
If you're asking what the harm is, it's threefold. First, there are objectionable things in this census, including data being mined for corporations. Second, because it's objectionable recruiting kids to force parents to do it (especially with today's weak parents unable to deny their children) is especially underhanded. Third, in combination with what they're doing with the NEA above, it doesn't bode well for the future. Lenin and Adolf had clear quotes on this topic. Not hyperbole or Godwin. Historical fact. And if this were Bush that point wouldn't be laughed off by Liberals.
How am I to believe most "civil libertarians" aren't simply liars, angry leftists pursuing their own statism, when we see none of the outrage for these much greater concerns about privacy than the Patriot Act? That's rhetorical. The answer is that's exactly what most are. |

In less than three weeks, we will be remembering the 8th anniversary of the worst terrorist attacks our nation has ever seen. Given that fact, I hope you will excuse me one more post on a day when I've found a lot to talk (vent) about. My note is short because I would like you to read the article below.
