Ever wonder why some people just follow our president blindly.
They believe that he wouldn't do anything to hurt this country.
Well guess what. He's using the standard tactics.
Truth is taught as lies and lies are taught as truth; till the truth is drowned out!
President Barack Obama (Barry Soetoro) was given an opportunity to show what a black man could do for this country to make life better for everyone. The problem is his economics have hurt those who need the help most; poor people. Many of them are black and so he has hurt his own. But then again he isn't black; he's Muslim and Kenyan. So why should an idealist care about anyone. He's out to use American to see if his ideas will work. Forget about the people it hurts or the country he destroys. The ideas didn't work in Eastern Europe or Russia. So why would they work now?!
I was always told the Justice is Blind. Hence a person is defined by one's acts and words. Well neither of them by our President are good. If I was to turn the sound off of my TV then maybe by looks I could support our president!
But I can't live off looks. You can't run a business by how wonderful you look or by a smile that seems to good to be true.
He promised to have the most transparent administration. Yet I have never seen such an opaque one in the history of our country. Isn't it time to stop playing with our blocks and build something good in this country again.
We need to have a man or woman in office that will really care about the people and how to help them.
Truth is suppose to be supreme!
"And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter." Isaiah 59:14
"But thou shalt say unto them, This [is] a nation that obeyeth not the voice of YHVH (the lord) their Elohim (God), nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth." Jeremiah 7:28
More later!

Return to the News of Yesterday...
Here's a story from 2 years ago before Obama won the election. Interesting how it rings true today!
The Black Kennedy: But does anyone know the real Barack Obama?By PETER HITCHENS
Last updated at 20:46 02 February 2008
Comments (0) Add to My Stories America is about to fool itself for the third time in a row. Sentiment and star quality seem likely to trample on common sense and experience, and we will all suffer for it.
Having fallen - twice - for the Southern-fried charm of Bill Clinton and - twice - for the corny, fake patriotism of George W. Bush, the people of the great republic are now overpowered by the beauty and sweetness of Barack Obama, a glimmering TV star with the power to make them feel at ease with themselves, and about whom they know only what he wants them to know.
I make no predictions about the huge political contest that will take place across much of the United States on Tuesday, with 22 states voting in a national dress rehearsal for the real thing in November. Nobody really knows what will happen.

Road to glory: Barack and Michelle Obama together on his campaign bus
But I think Mr Obama will still be in the fight, with a more than reasonable chance of winning the Democratic nomination and then the presidency.
Not only has he been endorsed by the black talk-show megastar Oprah Winfrey, famous for leaping on to the biggest bandwagon of the day, he has just collected the priceless blessing of the Kennedys, which is worth millions of votes.
The Last Brother, Teddy, has stirred his lardy bulk on Obama's behalf. And, for those who still find Teddy a bit repellent, the same endorsement has come from JFK's daughter Caroline.
This was not just a great bonus for Obama. It was a cruel loss to his sole rival, Hillary Clinton, for her husband once had the Kennedy seal of approval and this action strips it from him and from her.
Bill, once proclaimed by the modish black author Toni Morrison as "the first black president", has now had the medal ripped from his chest by the person who pinned it on. Ms Morrison is backing Obama.
It seems awfully possible that, having acted patiently as the world's first militant feminist doormat for two decades, Hillary will not now get the reward she thought would be hers at last. Bill, who keeps making crassly offensive remarks about Obama, has been told to shut up.
It's true the Republicans might win, but they hate and mistrust each other so much after the Bush disaster that it seems remote.

Peter Hitchens outside Obama's Chicago home
So who really is this Obama who can reduce knees and brains to jelly, whose books are read with reverence by normally pungent critics, and who, we are told, is the new JFK? I travelled to his home city, Chicago, to see if I could find out.
I recalled how we had all been fooled in the early Clinton years by the twaddle about the "Man from Hope" - a legend in which Bill had grown up among poor, denim-clad folks in a small country town.
Years later, when someone bothered to check, it turned out Bill had barely been in Hope at all but had instead been raised in great comfort in Hot Springs, Al Capone's favourite holiday resort and still full of good-time girls, big Chevrolets and sleaze.
With Obama the problem is a little different, though Capone still comes into it.
He has written his own sunlit, often rather purple account of his life, with just enough revelation to persuade us that we know all we need to know.
The book, Dreams From My Father, is a much-praised bestseller (though I suspect many of those who praised it didn't stick it out to the end).
It contains a confession of drug-taking, carefully limited - marijuana and cocaine but no heroin. It is sometimes moving but often exasperating.
Obama has black skin and was deserted by his father at the age of two. His mother seems to have been a little vague about life.

But his devoted grandparents, especially his hard-working grandmother, saw to it that young Barry, as he was then known, got a private education. This lifted him way above the miseries of most black Americans.
Under the circumstances, there may be a little too much in the memoirs about how tough it was to be black.
Crucially, the story stops just where things get interesting - when Obama first entered politics in Chicago, that mythical city of gangsterism, corruption and oneparty-state politics. He did this as an Illinois State Senator, representing a largely black and liberal section of Capone's hometown.
Now, Obama has the devil's luck, which among other things means he has a boyish smile that disarms suspicion or hostility at 50 paces.
But he is no child, and no innocent. Despite a childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia, Obama knows Chicago well - and from underneath, too.
He threw over a good corporate job in New York to toil in the dismal South Side as a "community organiser", getting up campaigns about asbestos in council flats but also getting to know this place's grimy, snaggled web of power - churches, property developers, professional politicians, fixers and money men.
He also revealed that he was the sort of person who goes into a revolving door behind you and then comes out of it in front of you. And, of course, he is a lawyer who knows the rules all too well.
As one veteran of Chicago politics who very much did not want to be named said to me: "Thank God for Louisiana - their politics are even dirtier than ours."
He clearly remembered Obama's first steps on his political career. This involved merciless cunning.
Somehow, all of Obama's challengers made a mess of their nomination papers. They were all disqualified. Only Obama's papers, miraculously, were perfect. So he won the Democratic nomination, which in this part of the world means he won the seat.
The insider recalled: "I thought he was a very talented young man. He was smart, he was willing, he was principled and he worked hard.
"He went to Springfield [the Illinois state capital] and did not become part of the more tawdry aspects of the culture down there - alcohol and women.
But Obama quickly got another reputation. "He was always in the bathroom for the really tough votes. It was not courageous."
The source explained this simply. Barack Obama knew even then that he could one day live in the White House.
"I think he understood long ago that the future was limitless for him. He made decisions in his very early political life that would enable him to be a candidate who would have very broad appeal."
These not-very-helpful remarks come from a black member of Obama's own party. What about his opponents?
One who remembers him well is Illinois State Senator Bill Brady, a white conservative Republican. The two arrived in Springfield together. In the evenings, they would gather for a friendly card game.
"There was a group of us who used to play poker," said Brady. "He was a conservative player. I said to him, 'If you were half as conservative with the taxpayers' dollars as you are at the poker table, the people of Illinois would be a lot better off.' "We were mostly playing for beers and giggles but he took it as seriously as anybody. I recall him never getting too far down."

Brady also recalled a tendency to have it both ways and to dodge difficult votes that might hurt him later in life: "I saw great ambition in him, no question. He had an agenda."
As for his voting performance, Brady agreed Obama liked sitting on the fence. He is recalled for taking full advantage of an Illinois rule that lets you vote "present" if you don't want to commit yourself.
Brady recalled: "I learned very quickly that the 'present' vote, where the button you press is very appropriately coloured yellow, is the chicken's way out."
But that did not mean Obama lacked convictions. On the contrary, when it suited him he would vote as far Left as he could. "No one was further Left. He would do things that were unrealistic to prove he was Left.
"He was not far Left for political benefit but because he was a true believer.
"But these would be on broad-brush issues - unlike, say, detailed abortion laws - where it was unlikely to be held against him. I have never heard anyone say so little about detailed policies . . . He has moderated his tones, but I don't think he has moderated his beliefs," said Brady.
Both these politicians also mentioned Obama's money problems. These were big.
Money for TV campaigns is the original sin of US politics. No one can get anywhere without it.
And, as recounted in a refreshingly ungushing biography by David Mendell, Obama was seriously short of cash. When he went to the Democratic Party convention in Los Angeles in 2000 he couldn't hire a car to get around because his credit card was maxed out.

I want you: Obama points at his audience during a rally in Iowa
About that time, his amazing luck seemed to fail him and an attempt to run for the US House of Representatives collapsed, largely for lack of funds.
It was, it turned out, a good thing. Four years later he was free to run for the US Senate, a far better route to the prize he seeks.
When that came around, good fortune swept him to Capitol Hill so sweetly that he hardly had to open his mouth or spend any of the millions of dollars he had finally managed to raise.
It was almost like the film The Omen. Anybody who got in his way just melted away or met a nasty end.
But this time nobody could possibly blame him, though the mysterious figure of his feared spin-doctor David Axelrod lurks in the background here, and some suspect his hand in at least some of Obama's luck.
The first slice of good fortune was that the seat was empty - the incumbent suddenly retired, citing "family issues".
The former Democratic holder of the seat, prominent black politician Carol Moseley Braun, could have had it for the asking - and Obama would not have dared challenge her - but she ruled herself out.
That still left a couple of major Democratic challengers. But Obama unexpectedly won union support and wiped out one of them.
The second, Blair Hull, was a tougher proposition until details of his divorce papers were unsealed, revealing his wife's accusations of abuse, which virtually destroyed him.
Obama won the Democratic nomination.
To win election to the Senate, Obama would have had a major battle against Republican Jack Ryan. But then Ryan's divorce papers were also unsealed, revealing that his wife Jeri - an actress famous for her tight costumes in Star Trek: Voyager - had accused him of pressuring her to have sex in public in kinky clubs.
Ryan denied it, but that was the end of him.
The Republicans pretty much gave up the struggle at this stage, picking a candidate who had no connections with Illinois. Obama couldn't lose.
By this time, he had learned how to raise money, persuading Hyatt hotel magnate Penny Pritzker he was worth backing, a boost that immediately brought in many more wealthy liberals flapping their chequebooks at the charming young man.
But he had also got mixed up with the Syrian-American property magnate and alleged "slumlord" Tony Rezko, who, as I write, languishes a few hundred yards from me in a Chicago jail, having had his bail revoked on serious fraud charges.
The Rezkos had known Obama since 1990 and even held a fundraising party for him at their mansion in the wealthy suburb of Wilmette.
Obama bought a new home, a big Edwardian-era detached house in fashionable Kenwood, soon after he won his Senate seat in 2004.

Campaign trail: Obama relaxes as he travels between rallies
The former owner apparently wasn't willing to sell the house without a large chunk of land next to it, which Obama seemingly couldn't afford. The house cost $1.65 million and the land $625,000.
Rezko's wife Rita bought the vacant land. Six months later, she sold Obama a slice of it for $104,500 so that he could extend his garden.
By that time, Tony Rezko was already under federal investigation. Worse, letters have since come to light in which Obama lobbied city officials on Rezko's behalf.
The Clintons don't dare make too much of this Obama skeleton because people will remind them of their own odd dealings with property companies and commodity traders.
But one Chicago Democratic professional told me: "I cannot believe Obama got so beholden to that man just to buy a big house."
Obama now says he agrees, describing the transaction as "boneheaded". But it cannot now be undone.
It suggests very bad judgment, as do strong, persistent suggestions that Obama also accepted quite small contributions from extreme Left-wing veterans of the terrorist Weather Underground now living in Chicago.
His list of contributions shows one for $200 from a certain William Ayers. Can this possibly be the same William Ayers, now a Chicago professor, who used to plant bombs in the Seventies and has said: "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough"? His partner, Bernardine Dohrn, once "declared war" on the US government.
It wouldn't be surprising. Those (like me) who know the Left-wing codes notice things about Obama that suggest he is far more radical than he would like us to know.
His famous speech against the Iraq War was timely and brave, but few recall that it contained a dumb Marxoid conspiracy theory passage claiming the war was "an attempt to distract us" from domestic problems.
His memoirs give friendly mentions to figures such as Frantz Fanon and Malcolm X, heroes of the wild Left in the Sixties.
His mother and father met on a Russian-language course at a time when the Russian language was inextricably mixed up with communism.
And his spin-doctor David Axelrod, a fabled master of the black arts, is a New York Left-winger and child of the Left-wing movement.
Then there is the Trinity United Church of Christ, the large and prosperous tabernacle where Obama, raised partly as a Muslim, embraced Christianity.
This is no ordinary church and it is not an ordinary black church either.
Religion in America is still divided by an apartheid more rigid than anything that ever existed in South Africa. But it is a voluntary apartheid, at least in one direction, and on several visits to black American churches I have always found a moving, kind welcome - as I did at Trinity, which lies in Chicago's deep south, at the end of a train line where white passengers are a rarity.
Trinity says it is "unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian". And so it is. A male choir in smart suits sings and sways and on the night I visited, a charismatic preacher, Pastor Otis Moss III, expounded from Exodus with wit and power.
My neighbours in the upholstered pews were younger and less formally dressed than some black congregations, and spent much of the time embracing me, helping me find my place and gripping me by the hand. This is not a haunt of anti-white racialism.
But it is pretty radical.
The parish magazine is full of fierce denunciations of the American government's failure to fight AIDS. A large chunk of the sermon was devoted to urging black Americans not to allow themselves to be relegated to second-class citizenship.
The retiring Senior Pastor, Jeremiah Wright (who brought Obama to Christianity), is famous for preaching in African robes. He is also noted for his Church's "disavowal of the pursuit of middle-classness" which sets it apart from many black churches.
Those who achieved success in the American mainstream, Trinity urged, should avoid the "psychological entrapment of black middle-classness that hypnotises the successful brother or sister into believing that they are better than the rest and teaches them to think in terms of we or they instead of us!"
Obama has been sneered at by black radicals such as the former Black Panther Bobby Rush for not being "black enough".
They whisper that he talks and walks like a white man. By embracing the "unashamedly black" Trinity church and by making much of his Kenyan roots, he fights off this attack and keeps connections in the black part of town.
But his home is far from Trinity, in Chicago's equivalent of Islington, an agreeable quarter of older houses near the university, one of the rare places where the dream of racial integration comes true.
In Starbucks, white businesswomen sit near black customers, an unusual sight in America.
Nearby a mural celebrates the successes of black Americans. No doubt Obama's face will soon join those of Martin Luther King and Muhammad Ali.
At the Hyde Park Hair salon, Zariff (who insists he has just one name) enjoys growing celebrity as the man who cuts Obama's hair.
He realised his client was famous only when he started appearing on TV: "I knew from talking to him that he was a bright guy but we never discussed politics. He was always interested in me and what I was doing rather than the other way round."
Zariff reveals that Obama really needs to have his hair cut every week to maintain that stylish look - and that he still makes his own appointments.
Like everyone I meet in the area, Zariff is immensely proud to have this global star just walking around the neighbourhood.
When Obama comes into the shop, people goggle through the windows as if it were an aquarium.
You can see here the raw stardom, plus what is obviously a genuine niceness and a graceful writing and speaking style, that has carried this man so far.
You can also see how good it would make America, black and white, feel about itself if it chose a black man to sit in the White House, so wiping away at least some of the long shame, resentment and fear that slavery - and what followed - have caused here.
But symbolic victories don't make much difference in the real world. America is not electing a national father figure or good neighbour, but the mighty chief executive of a world power.
When Obama first became famous, the perceptive Peggy Noonan (once Ronald Reagan's speechwriter) issued a warning.
She described America's last decade as "the long freakout", during which parties chose presidential candidates because they could win, on appearance rather than reality.
The result was repeated pain. Clinton appalled half the country, George W. Bush enraged the other half.
Obama's "sudden rise and wild popularity", she said, "seem more symptom than solution".
And as one veteran of Chicago black politics said to me wistfully: "He is a smart, talented and handsome person, but I am not sure which of those matters most to the American people."
That is not what he really meant. He knew perfectly well that it was the camera's power to make Obama shimmer and glow that makes him so important.
And yet a better person might look terrible and sound worse.
How long can the great democracies survive in the face of television's ability to make some of us look like gods when we are not?
Those who now laud him will probably be flinging abuse at him within two years of his election, and heaven knows how he will be able to continue to be the good family man he is, or walk round to the Hyde Park Hair salon for a trim and a chat with Zariff.
By becoming President he will instantly cease to be what everyone wants him to be.
But by then, of course, it will be too late.

And his spin-doctor David Axelrod, a fabled master of the black arts, is a New York Left-winger and child of the Left-wing movement.
Then there is the Trinity United Church of Christ, the large and prosperous tabernacle where Obama, raised partly as a Muslim, embraced Christianity.
This is no ordinary church and it is not an ordinary black church either.
Religion in America is still divided by an apartheid more rigid than anything that ever existed in South Africa. But it is a voluntary apartheid, at least in one direction, and on several visits to black American churches I have always found a moving, kind welcome - as I did at Trinity, which lies in Chicago's deep south, at the end of a train line where white passengers are a rarity.
Trinity says it is "unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian". And so it is. A male choir in smart suits sings and sways and on the night I visited, a charismatic preacher, Pastor Otis Moss III, expounded from Exodus with wit and power.
My neighbours in the upholstered pews were younger and less formally dressed than some black congregations, and spent much of the time embracing me, helping me find my place and gripping me by the hand. This is not a haunt of anti-white racialism.
But it is pretty radical.
The parish magazine is full of fierce denunciations of the American government's failure to fight AIDS. A large chunk of the sermon was devoted to urging black Americans not to allow themselves to be relegated to second-class citizenship.
The retiring Senior Pastor, Jeremiah Wright (who brought Obama to Christianity), is famous for preaching in African robes. He is also noted for his Church's "disavowal of the pursuit of middle-classness" which sets it apart from many black churches.
Those who achieved success in the American mainstream, Trinity urged, should avoid the "psychological entrapment of black middle-classness that hypnotises the successful brother or sister into believing that they are better than the rest and teaches them to think in terms of we or they instead of us!"
Obama has been sneered at by black radicals such as the former Black Panther Bobby Rush for not being "black enough".
They whisper that he talks and walks like a white man. By embracing the "unashamedly black" Trinity church and by making much of his Kenyan roots, he fights off this attack and keeps connections in the black part of town.
But his home is far from Trinity, in Chicago's equivalent of Islington, an agreeable quarter of older houses near the university, one of the rare places where the dream of racial integration comes true.
In Starbucks, white businesswomen sit near black customers, an unusual sight in America.
Nearby a mural celebrates the successes of black Americans. No doubt Obama's face will soon join those of Martin Luther King and Muhammad Ali.
At the Hyde Park Hair salon, Zariff (who insists he has just one name) enjoys growing celebrity as the man who cuts Obama's hair.
He realised his client was famous only when he started appearing on TV: "I knew from talking to him that he was a bright guy but we never discussed politics. He was always interested in me and what I was doing rather than the other way round."
Zariff reveals that Obama really needs to have his hair cut every week to maintain that stylish look - and that he still makes his own appointments.
Like everyone I meet in the area, Zariff is immensely proud to have this global star just walking around the neighbourhood.
When Obama comes into the shop, people goggle through the windows as if it were an aquarium.
You can see here the raw stardom, plus what is obviously a genuine niceness and a graceful writing and speaking style, that has carried this man so far.
You can also see how good it would make America, black and white, feel about itself if it chose a black man to sit in the White House, so wiping away at least some of the long shame, resentment and fear that slavery - and what followed - have caused here.
But symbolic victories don't make much difference in the real world. America is not electing a national father figure or good neighbour, but the mighty chief executive of a world power.
When Obama first became famous, the perceptive Peggy Noonan (once Ronald Reagan's speechwriter) issued a warning.
She described America's last decade as "the long freakout", during which parties chose presidential candidates because they could win, on appearance rather than reality.
The result was repeated pain. Clinton appalled half the country, George W. Bush enraged the other half.
Obama's "sudden rise and wild popularity", she said, "seem more symptom than solution".
And as one veteran of Chicago black politics said to me wistfully: "He is a smart, talented and handsome person, but I am not sure which of those matters most to the American people."
That is not what he really meant. He knew perfectly well that it was the camera's power to make Obama shimmer and glow that makes him so important.
And yet a better person might look terrible and sound worse.
How long can the great democracies survive in the face of television's ability to make some of us look like gods when we are not?
Those who now laud him will probably be flinging abuse at him within two years of his election, and heaven knows how he will be able to continue to be the good family man he is, or walk round to the Hyde Park Hair salon for a trim and a chat with Zariff.
By becoming President he will instantly cease to be what everyone wants him to be.
But by then, of course, it will be too late.

Why President Obama and His Marxist Allies are Pushing Socialized Healthcare

Why President Obama and His Marxist Allies are Pushing Socialized Healthcare
I have written this post to explain why President Obama is so desperate to pass health care legislation, seemingly regardless of the cost to the Democratic Party.
The reality is that President Obama owes his success and his hold on power more to three Marxist groups than he does to the Democrats.
The three organizations, Communist Party USA, Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism and Democratic Socialists of America, all worked with Barack Obama for years and helped get him elected.
Now they want payback.
All three organizations have campaigned hard for "socialized" or "Single Payer" health care.
They want Obama to pass a Bill, any Bill, so that they can then ratchet up the pressure until the government has complete control of the health sector.
Why? because these people figure that if government controls health care, it will lock socially conservative American workers into supporting their Democratic Party allies indefinitely.
Britain after WW2 is their model. While Winston Churchill was the hero of the hour, in 1946 he was dumped in a landslide in favor of Labour Party leader Clement Attlee, on the promise of a massively increased Welfare State and a socialized National Health Service.
Leading Communist Party USA theoretician Norman Markowitz put it this way in a November 2008 article in Political Affairs, entitled Obama's Mandate for Change;
A “single payer” national health system – known as “socialized medicine” in the rest of the developed world – should be an essential part of the change that the core constituencies which elected Obama desperately need.
Britain serves as an important political lesson for strategists. After the Labor Party established the National Health Service after World War II, supposedly conservative workers and low-income people under religious and other influences who tended to support the Conservatives were much more likely to vote for the Labor Party when health care, social welfare, education and pro-working class policies were enacted by labor-supported governments.

The Right to Heatlhcare could include Deathcare!
No where in our constitution is it stated that the government will “maintain your health”. They could then see to your death if that was true! It could lead to the time when your living or dying was deemed as how much value you have to live or die.
“Mr. Johnson the cost of keeping you alive is costing the government to much money. Therefore it has been determined that you are to die. If you have a higher level of productivity then the situation might be different. We will be by within the week to collect your body. Inclosed find a death pill to take. Take it or we will give it to you! Have a nice day!”
Remember the way America goes often the world goes.

Several out comes are possible regarding Obamacare!
Recently a comment about another posting brought about a lot of thoughts to mind. It brought up one very clear thing. What is the outcome of this new legislation that the American government just passed regarding the right to healthcare.
We are not a hurting country like Germany was back in the 1930s. We have more checks and balances than in the day of Hitler. So I would say we have a little more time before our country is turned into a people of mindless sheep.
I feel sorry for those who don't care or understand the danger to laws such as obamacare. It will no doubt cost more than we as a country can afford or expect. It will also hurt and over run the healthcare system we have. We have the best in the world...soon it will be like Canada. Not a happy thought.
We will soon see the incentives for specialty medicines go away. You can forget advances in medicine happening in America especially if this new legislation is as far reaching as most of us fear.
All the system will be doing is playing catchup to handle what will become an over run medical system. Along with that comes euthanasia. The old will be to expensive to keep alive. Mandatory abortions because of those who can't afford to have a child will be standard. Money won't matter if the old need an operations the young are more valuable in a socialist country. Especially where the medicine is also socialized. You have to keep the work force alive and healthy.
There are now 14 states that are working on lawsuits to counter this new legislation. We will see if Obama and his maniacs get this underhanded abomination to stick. It will no doubt go to the Supreme Court before this is done.
No one really heard a word the man said when he was running for President. They didn't care that he had never had to really fix anything or that he was a socialist. Funny how after the election was done; the New York Times printed that “We are now all socialist.” Still the media as a whole was pushing a “Black man for president”. They didn't care that he is the most extreme leftist ever to make a run for The White House. They still thought he would be good for our country.
Even Bill Clinton didn't want to bury America; but then a Muslim thinks America is the great Satan; so death to America who supports Israel. Get rid of America then Israel is next!!!
I wonder how the cries of praise to Obama will sound when the brainless sheep of this country give up all thought process and stop thinking all together. Even I know President George W. Bush betrayed those who voted for him. Still he didn't want to bring America down and destroy it.
I still believe what is says in Acts 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.”
Messiah was also clear what he wasn't going to do! “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17
Can President Obama say the same?

While We Were Sleeping...
This came from KAREN HOWES
...health care deform was passed. These intrepid representatives of ours sure keep late hours when forcing enacting unpopular legislation, don't they?
I hope that those of you who voted for hope and change are f@#%ing happy. Another 1/6 of the economy is under control of the federal government (but remember, folks, this isn't socialism).
Wherever will Canadian politicians go now for their own medical treatments, since they come here for that?
Wow,
first Bush gave us "Homeland Security."
Now Obamination give us "Universal Healthcare."
Or should I call it Obamacare or as Karen put it Healthcare Deform. Either way its just wrong.
Hitler, I mean Obama has now done what is needed to take over the country.
Hitler did both of these things as part of the move he did to take over the country. By the way he did it by German law.

"Violence erupts" - all by itself!
When the media uses the passive voice concerning violence in Israel, you can be sure that the violence wasn't started by the Israelis.
Palestinian Arabs don't riot. They are just passive bystanders as "violence erupts." And rocks just happen to crash through car windows, all by themselves.
But sometimes, the media's hatred of Israel overpowers even the false desire for blamelessness:Israeli forces clash with Palestinians.
Special thanks to "the elder of ziyon" for his insight and posting. Title is linked back to his site! There is more to the story. Plus links to some of the News sources!
The above statements proved the true bias towards Israel. I still remember the picture of a bloody Israeli Student being helped by a Israeli solider and yet the headlines read: "If he's bleeding he must be Palestinian."
It wasn't' till the boy's father contacted the newspaper and said "that's my son a Jew. He's not Arab"; did they print a retraction. I believe The New York Times ran the story.
Yet even to this day the bloody Youth picture is still used by Arabs in Israel to portray hurt Arabs.
This reminds me of "Agenda Science". An Arab bias so strong, that Arabs are right even when they are wrong! "Agenda Science" refused to come to the right conclusion regarding Global Warming because they don't care about real truth either.
I never thought I would find a connection with Global Warming and Arab Violence (Muslims as a whole). Today we must face the fact that it would seem the same people who believe in Global Warming also believe that Arabs and Muslim don't do Violence to get their point across; or how they are wronged or suffering.
I hate to tell the truth...I don't really. Islam is a religion of Violence. If you can't make people see what you're say is true; then violence works just as well!
Islam is bad religion and Global Warming is bad science!
I mean the Arab were foretold they would be this way: "And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." Genesis 16:12
Global Warming people have: "The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way: but the folly of fools [is] deceit." Proverb 14:8

Obama Care Will Wipeout US Economy In Four Years! O How Nice!
Mass Dem Treasurer Has a Warning For America: We Have Universal Health Care in Mass, If Obama Enacts it on a National Level it Will "Wipe Out the US Economy in Four Years"...Click here to the original source!
Special thanks to Weasalzippers for the heads up. Click for their site!
You know what. President Obama wants to be remembered. O He will be, but not for something good.
I am already concerned with people who have 5 arm house loans the are coming due, meaning the interest rate will go up. Many of them will loose their homes unless something is done to fix the bad loans.
Now the proposed health care will also kill the economy....Hello Depression. We aren't even on the Gold standard like we were in the 1930's. There's no way to know what will happen if the crazies get health care passed.
If the President wanted to do something nice for us for real...He would undo the mess and try to really empower people. He won't do that! He's almost seems like he wants everybody to be worse and the country to be bankrupted...If I didn't know better!
Mercy on us all...if things don't get better.
Yah's Blessings and Shalom!

It's called Agenda Science
"Today in class we are discussing Agenda Science boys and girls. If you have a question raise you hand and then stand to ask it."
"Teacher is it real science?"
"No it about playing on people's fear?"
"Teacher can you make money from it?"
"Yes Al, but wouldn't it be better to help people."
"I want to be rich and better than everyone else. I will become an expert at this Agenda Science when I grow up."
"Sit down Mr. Gore. I don't teach propaganda and stuff like that in my class."
All Kidding aside Agenda Science is wrong!
Former Vise President Al Gore has shares in a company that will put iron in tho ocean to capture CO2. But that won't do anything good. In fact it's all for him about making money. Some one did research on his Carbon foot print... it's one of the largest one on the planet.
There is a organism that lives in the two top inches or so of the ocean that lives off CO2. It make oxygen from the CO2 it eats. As the CO2 goes up they grow. As the the CO2 goes down they go down. What I am concerned about it that the iron might some how kill off the organism and destroy the largest oxygen producer of the planet...or do who knows what to the ocean when you mess with what you don't know enough about. That would leave us all blue faced.
Poisoning the oceans is far more dangerous. There is already areas of over fishing in the Gulf of Mexico that has caused real scientific evidence; meaning there are dead zones where nothing is living. Shell fish and their kind are the garbage eaters and they are the waste managers of the ocean. By over eating and hence fishing them thus preventing the ocean inhabitants from doing what they are good at. That's not a pie in the sky thing; that's like shutting down a cities waste treatment plant. Sharks are part of that.
It will return given time, but without managing the oceans, which means not doing anything in that case; could be the best thing.
I not an advocate of cutting all the trees down either. But even a farmer knows a pruned tree will produce more. Managing a forest is better for everyone. After a fire some good comes. Interesting how in a managed forest there is less foliage that burns to easy. It must be done carefully. But cutting it all down or not doing anything is stupid.
The earth goes through a 7 to 11 year weather shift. It is gauged by Sun spots. Sometimes it shifts back and sometimes it doesn't. It's not global warming. It's global living. Also every time there a earthquake the earth is changed. The big tsunami in Asia that killed thousands, shifted the earth on its axis several degrees. This has happen a lot in the last ten years.
Why has the north pole cap melted. There is clear scientific evidence of volcanic activity. This would cause the under layer of the ice to melt. That then makes it easier for the top layer to melt. Plus the shifting of the earth on its axis and you have a combination that melts the ice in the north. There is also weather shifting. Some of the sunspot activity can also shift water streams that cool or warm land masses.
As for those who say the earth is getting warmer or we are killing it; I say get some real science evidence, not more of the same stuff. I hate agenda science. I like real science that can't always be answered and can means something you don't like. There is clear scientific evidence that the earth was warmer at one time. It was also more prosperous as well. And as far as the ocean rising...it risen a POINT 0050 percentage in the last 50 or so years. If the world is really getting warmer why aren't we all under water. Again that's Agenda Science for you.

THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS: HAMAS INCITING VIOLENCE IN EAST JERUSALEM
Cool graphic. Imagine a Palestinian protesting something Jewish; and they're using violence!
They are so misunderstood....mean while back in the real world, Arabs in the Holy Land are being Arabs; complaining and using violence to show how they are right!
They are misunderstood...they hate Jews and anyone who isn't Muslim!
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Genesis 12:13
Anyday Palestinians can protest and cause violenece is a good day for them. They're not doing their job in the Holy Land if they're not making Trouble! So don't be so hard on them...Unless you love the land of Israel!
Why don't they work the land. Maybe it's just me they seem lazy!
Don't exspect our President to talk out against violence. President Obama is a Muslim...why should he or his infidel lacky Joe protest Muslim violence when think it's great!
Ishmael's children live today...
"And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." Genesis 16:10-11
Pray for Israel and the People there who love the land: like Jews!

This post is a bit of my protesting about our special President!
I wonder if we should put him on Obamacare first. If it works for him then we can all try it. Goodness knows we wouldn't want to test it on any animals first...except human animals. He has never really had to solve any major problems. His solution is to use the government to do it all. Government is about empowering people when you're talking about a Republic. Socialism is slavery.
Even as Socialistic FDR was, his motive was really helping people. But it was Capitalism that ultimately fixed the economy. President Reagan knew that. He did things to empower people. "Those who fail to learn from history's mistakes, are doom to repeat them!" President Obama is doing all the mistakes, making all the wrong moves...what a shame!
"You'd think with all this accumulated knowledge, one of these dummies would use a doorknob." Lex Luther from Superman 2. President Obama uses an axe and tells us it's a friendly axe. Not really, written across it is socialism.
Do I need to say more! I will however!
We started out as a Republic...it would now seem we are a Democracy...the next step is dictatorship of the elite. Where is it going? President Reagan was big on states right! President Obama is big on elitism. What a shame.
In a Republic the laws never change, In a Democracy laws change with the wind and whims of people.
Could you as child imagine you parents changing the house rules every week; first one way then another. You wouldn't know what was OK or not.

"Those who fail to learn from history's mistakes, are doom to repeat them!" President Obama is doing all the mistakes, making all the wrong moves...what a shame!
"You'd think with all this accumulated knowledge, one of these dummies would use a doorknob." Lex Luther from Superman 2. President Obama uses an axe and tells us it's a friendly axe. Not really, written across it is socialism.
Do I need to say more! I will however!
We started out as a Republic...it would now seem we are a Democracy...the next step is dictatorship of the elite. Where is it going? President Reagan was big on states right! President Obama is big on elitism. What a shame.
In a Republic the laws never change, In a Democracy laws change with the wind and whims of people.
Could you as child imagine you parents changing the house rules every week; first one way then another. You wouldn't know what was OK or not.
“The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples money” Golda Meir
"The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower [is] servant to the lender." Proverbs 22:7

The New Religion....Rebellion!
What do I mean by New religion...rebellion?
Here is one expample of Judaic - Christian religion under attach.
The city of Gilbert, Ariz., has ordered a group of seven adults to stop gathering for Bible studies in a private home because such meetings are forbidden by the city's zoning codes. The issue was brought to a head when city officials wrote a letter to a pastor and his wife informing them they had 10 days to quit having the meetings in their private home.
"This ban is defended based upon traffic, parking, and building safety concerns. However, nothing in its zoning code prevents weekly Cub Scouts meetings, Monday Night Football parties with numerous attendees or large business parties from being held on a regular basis in private homes," the ADF said.
Blomberg said, "the First Amendment's free-speech clause prevents the town from stopping the church from holding its meetings on the public sidewalk outside the pastor's home, yet the town won't allow him to hold the same meetings just a few feet away in the privacy of his own living room."

This is not the first time I heard about stuff like this. There was a city in state of Georgia that did the same thing. I don't know how it turned out. Free speech is OK for others, but Jews and Christians are treated different.
According to our President. (which I don't agree with,) Religion is the problem with the conflicts we have in our country. So much for wisdom from the leaders of our land including locals.
Judaic - Christian beliefs have always been the moral cap to our country. As Messiah's time grows near I guess anarchy will be our new religion.
So: back to my original thought. Rebellion is the New religion. The famous mantra is "Don't put me under the law. or You can't tell me what to do. You don't have the right to tell me what is truth. I am in control my own life. Nothing is out of my control! This is no god!"
I could go on by why. I will let the WORD speak!
"[[To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David.]] The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no Elohim. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that does good." Psalms 14:1
"[[To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David.]] The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no Elohim. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that does good." Psalms 53:1
Two witnesses, It's so easy to let the WORD work.

Rabbi Akiva's Son and Tech Support for Reading Books (Or, From Scroll to Codex)
This is great! Sorry it's not in English. But it does remind us how reverlutionalry going from scrool to codex was.
It's also fun how help desks and tech support can be. I have done some myself and felt like that helping people.
I found this on another blog. Fun Stuff...can't leave you without a word from Torah!
"Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living Elohim, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;" I Timothy 6:17-18
"But sanctify YHVH Elohim n your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" I Peter 3:15

Lairs lie, that's what they do.
Recently President Obama made a statement that was clear what he thought. Basically it was that the election is over and I don't have to be truthful...I am arrogant.
During his campaign for President he claimed that his administration would be the most honest and open hence transparent administration.
Guess what...He lied. He has been doing a lot dealing behind closed doors not telling anyone; even though he said he wouldn't.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said to day the bill that is currently before the Senate is not what people think it is. She lied.
Why are we so surprised they lie. Liars lie that's what they do. They lie, they steal, they murder.
Our current government has lied so much. Then they steal our rights. Now they are murdering the constitution.
The whole thing is the American Public fault. They voted for the our current government without finding out what kind of people they were.
President Obama hasn't kept one campaign promise, even the one to have a transparent administration. So maybe changing who is elected next year for senate or congress seats should be changed. And in three years we should have a different President. How about a real black President...Like Allen Keys.
A funny note. In the trailer for the new movie "Hot Tube Time Machine", 4 guys get transported back in time. The find out what year they are in by asking someone "What color is Michael Jackson". They get the answer that he's black.
The way our current President acts, he is more white than black and I'm a Jew who doesn't care about race. We all love, we all hurt, and we all struggle in life to do our best. According to The Torah...there is no race. So our president is black. That's where I have a problem. He acts like he's better than everybody else. That is sad, he works for every American no matter what you are. His pay by us the people of the country. Yet he asks like he is our King by Divine Right.
Whatever happened by the people, for the people?
