8/28

Aug 28th, 10 / 0 Comments

Just a few thoughts on the “Restoring Honor” rally today.  With the stars aligned (wife at work, one boy & dog @ grandma’s, another asleep!), I’ve got a few minutes to blog and wanted to post my reflection on those going to Washington DC this morning.  I had some “quiet time” while mowing the lawn last night (though my older son did stop me to ask several different variations of “why?” questions about lawnmowing) and was thinking about this event.  As I said, I wish I could go, but have other obligations.

One thing I praise Glenn Beck for is his promotion of strong family time, prayer, and honesty.  I believe that our nation could use more honor, and that’s not a partisan statement.  It’s about all the people who say one thing and do another.

Sadly, after a lifetime of calling myself a follower of Christ (and I am trying to grow that aspect of my life), I know the goodness of the word but have little to offer (the GIN’s Deacon is a great reference here) for the occasion.  Paul’s letter to the Galatians (5) talks about freedom through following Christ, which I think is fitting here. I pray that my use of scripture is fitting and acceptable, but I believe civil rights is about freedom, and that our country has been given numerous gifts from God and turned our back on the Giver:

Christ Has Set Us Free

5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. 4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified [1] by the law; you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. 11 But if I, brothers, [2] still preach [3] circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. 12 I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!

13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

Walk by the Spirit

16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, [4] drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

I know that normally I joke about a lot of things and write things tongue-in-cheek, but the circumcision part of this scripture is contextual to the Galatians concerns of the time.  The key message as I see it is to those who’ve been given freedom (as a gift from God), don’t give it up for Earthly things. For the crowd who uses the “render unto Caesar” to mean unlimited taxation and government power, I challenge you to read that verse in context and pray about Galatians 5.

How much more evidence do we need that man is flawed and sinful than to look at the colossal waste of tax dollars.  And then with the promise of huge taxation coming (see Volcker panel), don’t we have a stern right to demand a serious commitment to efficiency?  Then the politicians talk efficiency, but spit in our faces with more government waste and spending.  Those who are put in the public trust in a nation built on divine providence have serious spiritual implications for failure to fulfill that trust.

Plus, the freedoms we’ve been granted require honorable people to exist. The “deniers” can say that our country wasn’t founded to be a Christian nation, and the intention was of course not to have government-run churches, but it was designed for a moral majority.  A free society cannot exist with an amoral or immoral majority of the population.  How can you trade with liars and thieves? How can you live next to a neighbor who covets your possessions or wife? What of charity: why give to someone else when you know they’ll get a check at the end of the month? If your neighbor worships material things and doesn’t fear God, what will stop them from being the above?  What kind of fool would put their “hope” into a human in government?! When people don’t fear God, they’ll take their chances with the law to kill in cold blood!!!

That is why we must restore godliness (“honor”).

To those who criticize the rally, be very careful because if they truly are engaged in mass prayer/meditation for good, if you’re fighting them, think of where that puts you. If you’re counterprotesting something inherently good, whose side are you on? Of course, so many people (at their peril) think humans are the creators.  Here’s news-giant CNN bearing some false witness (link):

(CNN) — The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece is slated to speak Saturday at a controversial rally by radio talk show host Glenn Beck scheduled to take place in the same location as her uncle’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

Saturday is also the 47th anniversary of the speech the civil rights leader delivered in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

Beck, a hero to many conservative voters across the country, says that the mission of the rally is to honor American troops and that the event is nonpolitical. The rally is hosted by Beck and the Fox News Channel.

FNC is not hosting the event.  Don’t hold your breath on a correction…

Whatever happens there folks, peaceful protest is the strongest weapon.Remember the Black Congressmen who marched with Speaker Pelosi and her big gavel who claimed to have been spit upon and called the “N-word” 15 times (who were carrying cell phones taking video, surrounded by people with video cameras) at the anti-healthcare rally, never were able to produce any evidence of such events?  Bearing false witness.

I’m prepared to give y’all half of my rated PG prediction for the event: I fully expect some street theater like (leftwing/labor-affiliated) provocateurs with signs with epithets about the President to attack people from the Sharpton rally. Remember, Sharpton is not an honest reverend, not in favor of freeing Blacks from the bonds of government, nor is he peaceful. They need that.

This is what the news media must cover.  The news media does not work for the American people, they work for those deceivers who believe in man as god. Prayer in a public place is like nails on a chalkboard to them.  Praying to God for forgiveness and the strength to do what’s right is offensive to them. A large group of people praying for godliness in their elected leaders is more offensive to them than murdering a ” fetus” that’s viable outside the womb.

If you’re the praying-type, please pray for the safety of those in DC today and for godliness and reverence from our political leaders, and ourselves.

Sacrilege!! “Majority Of Americans Lack Faith In Obama”

Jul 13th, 10 / 2 Comments

This is actually good news, if you’ve been following the latest from the ten commandments (link):

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Nearly 60 percent of American voters say they lack faith in President Barack Obama, according to a public opinion poll published on Tuesday.The results of the Washington Post/ABC News poll are a reversal of what voters said at the start of Obama’s presidency 18 months ago when about 60 percent expressed confidence in his decision making.Confidence in Obama is at a new low but the poll found that his numbers are still higher than lawmakers of either major party four months ahead of the November congressional elections.Asked how much confidence they have in Obama to make the right decisions for the country’s future, 58 percent of respondents said “just some” or “none.”Sixty-eight percent expressed the same sentiments about Democrats in Congress and 72 percent said the same of Republicans

It’s really ok though, the Obamessiah doesn’t require your confidence, he requires your dependence to fulfill his role in the prophecy called “The Road To Serfdom”.

Bad Idea Of The Day: Removing “Year Of Our Lord”

Jun 24th, 10 / 0 Comments

I wonder if it occurred to these douches that “the year of our lord” (Latin Translation: Anno Domini/ Abbreviation: A.D.) is not an endorsement of faith as much as a historical and cultural marker.  What a colossal waste of time this is (link):

Seniors at a New Haven, Conn., high school will not be graduating “in the year of our Lord” this year – or any future years, according to the superintendent of schools.

The school district has removed the traditional phrase from high school diplomas after someone complained.

“It’s a religious thing,” Superintendent Reginald Mayo told the New Haven Register. “I’m surprised it took this long for someone to notice it. We certainly don’t want to offend anyone.”

Last year, former alderwoman Ina Silverman filed a complaint about “in the year of our Lord” when her daughter was a student at Wilbur Cross High School. According to the newspaper, Silverman took her concerns to the mayor, who then asked the superintendent to remove the words.

Mayo told the newspaper it was a small change – but it was a necessary change. The American Humanist Association heralded the decision.

“It removes the bias toward Christianity and puts all New Haven students on an equal plane without religious bias,” Bob Ritter, a staff lawyer with the American Humanist Association, told FOX News Radio.

“The fact of the matter is all New Haven students deserve a diploma which is religiously neutral,” Ritter said. “It favors no religion over another.”

But the move has outraged a number of people across the city – especially in the Christian community.

Local resident Betsy Claro called the decision “hideous.”

“I do believe that it’s a travesty to keep removing the Lord’s name,” the mother of three told FOX News Radio. “I believe that our nation was founded on the principles of belief in God, and our Founding Fathers made sure it was incorporated into every document that they produced.”

For radical humanists and their enablers in the media/government/education complex, it’s not about not endorsing religion as it is eradicating religion. I’ll keep giving this reminder: there are crosses and other religious symbols at Arlington National Cemetery, and the must be removed by this doctrine.

“Devastator”: Why You Have To Vote Against Everything

May 26th, 10 / 0 Comments

My generation was around for Transformers, a cool toy to play with.  There were the autobots (good guys) and decepticons (bad guys).  One tool that the decepticons had on their side was “Devastator”.  Devastator was an almost indestructibly massive machine that consisted of a number of different “constructicons”.  The constructicons (also as represented in the recent film) were just inncocuous big earth-moving equipment in their disguise, but then turned into individual evil robots, and then came together to form “Devastator”: a badass destruction machine.

Devastator is analogous to the Obama/radical socialist agenda that we have here.  Each piece of “landmark” legislation (TARP/Auto Bailouts before Obama, stimulus, healthcare reform, appropriations bill, financial reform/TARP II, immigration reform, “climate change”, “green jobs,” “employee free choice act”) can be voted on by useful idiots who can’t wait to tell their constituents they voted for something that sounds good.  In this stealthy disguise (and with some treatment toward said goals), many will vote for them without noting the other parts.

Lots of sucker RINO’s (see Scott Brown on TARPII) will pick their token issue they side with progressive socialists on, and buck their party. It’s happened enough to realize that the GOP is just a token opposition and has no idea what’s really happening.  They just want to be popular in the news and the gym.

The other parts of the bill are the “robots in disguise”.  Some levels of the Democratic socialist party are aware of these new governmental powers, and lust for them.

The true believers know the actual intent of the total package, which is to achieve a bloodless Marxist coup over the United States government, and it appears now that it’s going to happen.

I picture that sometime several years ago, a number of frustrated socialists got together and planned a lot of this.  Here’s how we do it:  break down the goals of what you need, all the legislation and governmental powers, how do you bring it all together as an automaton that can’t be dismantled?  So you slice up your socialist “to do list” and insert little bits of it here and there, throughout the total legislative package, and put the most important parts in legislation most likely to pass, and it’s golden.

Each bill in the package is a constructicon, and now with most of them passed, we’ll get to see them kick into action soon.  We’ll see if their designers’ intent is authoritarian or totalitarian “Devastator” government, and if that indeed happens.

I still think this monster needs catalysts to start, and suspect that will come in the form of some type of Reichstag fire blamed on political opposition.

I’m only optimistic because I believe this land is God’s land, not man’s land.  I suspect we’ll soon discover whether in fact this is true.

PC World: Pentagon Cancels Franklin Graham

Apr 23rd, 10 / 0 Comments

Want to know the truth of why our military could lose the war on terror?  It’s not because we’re outgunned, outequipped, lacking brilliant strategists or effective personnel. It’s because in PC World, YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH (link):

CAIR Applauds Pentagon Decision to Drop Graham
Thursday, 22 Apr 2010 08:48 PM
Article Font SizeThe Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today applauded the Pentagon’s decision to disinvite a scheduled speaker, controversial Christian evangelist Franklin Graham, who has called Islam a “very evil and wicked religion” and this morning said Muslims are “enslaved by Islam.”

CAIR had earlier today called for such a move on the part of military officials. Graham was scheduled to speak May 6 – the National Day of Prayer – at the Pentagon.

“We applaud this decision as a victory for common sense and good judgment,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. “Promoting one’s own religious beliefs is something to be defended and encouraged, but other faiths should not be attacked or misrepresented in the process.”

In an interview today about the controversy on Fox News, Graham refused to revise his past comments that Islam is evil and claimed that Muslims are “enslaved by Islam.”

In a 2009 CNN interview, Graham stated in part: “[T]rue Islam cannot be practiced in this country. You can’t beat your wife. You cannot murder your children if you think they’ve committed adultery or something like that, which they do practice in these other countries… I don’t agree with the teachings of Islam and I find it to be a very violent religion.”

In 2002, Graham said terrorism is part of “mainstream” Islam and claimed the Quran, Islam’s revealed text, “preaches violence.”

In 2001, Graham stood by remarks he made about Islam at the dedication of a chapel in North Carolina. At that event, he said: “We’re not attacking Islam but Islam has attacked us. The God of Islam is not the same God. He’s not the son of God of the Christian or Judeo-Christian faith. It’s a different God, and I believe it is a very evil and wicked religion.”

Kudos to Mr. Graham for standing by his statements. The Secular Left in the political leadership will have no problem with discrediting Mr. Graham, because they believe the diktat that his father was a leader of a Christian nationalist movement that supported the political right.

Federal Court Rules “National Day Of Prayer” UnConstitutional

Court Rules National Day of Prayer Unconstitutional
Thursday, April 15, 2010
By Melanie Hunter-Omar

(CNSNews.com) – A federal district court in Wisconsin ruled on Thursday that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional, a decision that has angered a constitutional law firm that filed an amicus brief defending the National Day of Prayer.

The case was filed by The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a Wisconsin-based group that challenged the constitutionality of a 1988 law giving the president authority to designate the first Thursday in May as National Day of Prayer.

“It is unfortunate that this court failed to understand that a day set aside for prayer for the country represents a time-honored tradition that embraces the First Amendment, not violates it,” said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ.

“This decision runs counter to well established legal precedent and we’re confident that this flawed decision ultimately will be overturned. We will be filing a brief representing members of Congress challenging this federal district court decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit,” Sekulow said in a statement.

“If the appeals court fails to reverse this decision, we’re confident the Supreme Court will hear the case and ultimately determine that such proclamations and observances like the National Day of Prayer not only reflect our nation’s rich history, but are indeed consistent with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment,” he added.

According to the ACLJ brief, the U.S. has a long history of recognizing a national day of prayer dating back to the late 1700′s with the Continental Congress, recommending that states set aside a day for prayer and thanksgiving. Therefore, “historical evidence establishing a National Day of Prayer as deeply embedded in the tradition and history of this country is indisputable,” the brief stated.

“This is the first step in what could be a lengthy legal process that ultimately puts this issue before the Supreme Court. This issue could very well be decided by the next appointee to the high court,” Sekulow said. “An issue like this underscores the importance of why it’s so critical for the nominee to answer direct questions about their judicial philosophy, how they view the role of judges, and their view of the rule of law.”

God always wins.  I do believe that this IS God’s country, we’re just borrowing it from Him.  When you forsake Him, bad things happen.

Humanist Easter Address

Apr 3rd, 10 / 0 Comments

This guy should just call this his “Spring Holiday” address. he knows as much about Easter as he does about running a business- my comments are parenthetical (link):

Transcript: Obama’s April 3, 2010 Weekly AddressThis is a week of faithful celebration. On Monday and Tuesday nights, Jewish families and friends in the United States and around the world gathered for a Seder to commemorate the Exodus from Egypt and the triumph of hope (self-deification?) and perseverance over injustice and oppression. On Sunday, my family will join other Christians all over the world in marking (marking?) the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (“marking” a holiday?  Like a cat would?)And while we worship in different ways, we also remember the shared spirit of humanity that inhabits us all – Jews and Christians, Muslims and Hindus, believers and nonbelievers alike.Amid the storm of public debate, with our 24/7 media cycle, in a town like Washington that’s consumed with the day-to-day, it can sometimes be easy to lose sight of the eternal (not if your blackberry gives you constant devotionals). So, on this Easter weekend, let us hold fast (don’t you mean cling?) to those aspirations we hold in common as brothers and sisters, as members of the same family – the family of man (I guess we’ve grown up now, we used to be God’s children).All of us know how important work is (all of us?) – not just for the paycheck, but for the peace of mind that comes with knowing you can provide for your family. As Americans, and as human beings (as opposed to what?), we seek not only the security, but the sense of dignity, the sense of community (who writes this shit?), that work confers. That is why it was heartening news that last month, for the first time in more than two years, our (government-run) economy created a substantial number of ($10/hour census) jobs, instead of losing them. (Not counting the jobs that will be outsourced as a result of my cost-incurring policies,) We have begun to reverse the devastating slide, but we have a long way to go to repair the damage from this recession (getting longer by the day), and that will continue to be my focus every single day.All of us value our health and the health of our loved ones. All of us have experienced an illness, a loss, a personal tragedy. All of us know that no matter what we’re doing or what else is going on in our lives, if the health of someone we love is endangered, nothing else matters. Our health is the rock upon which our lives are built, for better and for worse. (It’s astonishing that a President claiming to give an Easter address would call “health” the rock upon which our lives are built, especially in an “Easter” address.  Anyone with a clue about Christianity would see this as a mockery of 2 Samuel 22:3 “My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence” if not Matthew 7:24-25. It’s embarrassing as a Christian and an American to have a President state this.)All of us value education. We know that in an economy as competitive as ours, an education is a prerequisite for success. But we also know that ultimately, education is about something more, something greater. It is about the ability that lies within each of us to rise above any barrier, no matter how high; to pursue any dream, no matter how big; to fulfill our God-given potential (it would seem that having freedom is sine qua non for the aforementioned).All of us are striving to make a way in this world; to build a purposeful and fulfilling life in the fleeting time we have here. A dignified life. A healthy life. A life, true to its potential. And a life that serves others (Matthew 4:10: Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”). These are aspirations that stretch back through the ages – aspirations at the heart of Judaism, at the heart of Christianity, at the heart of all of the world’s great religions.The rites of Passover, and the traditions of Easter, have been marked by people in every corner of the planet for thousands of years. They have been marked in times of peace, in times of upheaval, in times of war.One such war-time service was held on the black sands of Iwo Jima more than sixty years ago. There, in the wake of some of the fiercest fighting of World War II, a chaplain rose to deliver an Easter sermon, consecrating the memory, he said “of American dead – Catholic, Protestant, Jew. Together,” he said, “they huddled in foxholes or crouched in the bloody sands…Together they practiced virtue, patriotism, love of country, love of you and of me.” The chaplain continued, “The heritage they have left us, the vision of a new world, [was] made possible by the common bond that united them…their only hope that this unity will endure.”Their only hope that this unity will endure. (for the full sermon and how Obama misinterpreted the sermon and excluded Jesus from it, Greg Hengler and Vince Haley nail it down at TownHall (link))On this weekend, as Easter begins and Passover comes to a close, let us remain ever mindful of the unity of purpose, the common bond, the love of you and of me, for which they sacrificed all they had; and for which so many others have sacrificed so much. And let us make its pursuit – and fulfillment – our highest aspiration, as individuals and as a nation (collective). Happy Easter and Happy Passover to all those celebrating, here in America, and around the world.

Yes, Happy Easter and seasonal greetings indeed from the figurehead of the leftwing state-run Political/Media/Academic/NGO quadrangle,the week after the primary news stories of Easter week were the nagging stories of priest abuse in the Catholic church and the arrested “Christian militia” (repeat: Christian militia) members. May God bless you, and forgive you.

Hmmm….

A title for this post escapes me, as does much commentary.  Tyler Durden has “The Genesis of the Gold-Tungsten: The Rest of The Story” posted at Zero Hedge. I don’t know what to make of it, I want to believe it to be completely false. It’s long, but worth a read if you’re into trading in Federal Reserve Notes for precious metals, think the Schumer may someday hit the fan, or believe it’s possible you’d wake up one day and your federal reserve note holdings could be completely devalued (link).Reading this, if true, made me yearn for the time when the US economy wasn’t fraudulent.  It makes the words “In God We Trust” engraved on silver currency a lot more meaningful.Some follow-up questions that this brought up for me are 1. If the Soviet Union was brought down (and subsequently looted by international bankers/corporations) in part with Operation Hammer, does this better explain the coldness of Putin as a leader?  He looks like a man who’s going to want some revenge- imagine if he’s a true believer in communism and knows that we pulled dirty tricks to dump it- shouldn’t we almost expect revenge in his lifetime? 2.  If the international bankers propped up communism and were there to loot the USSR when it lost their favor and have in part assisted us and looted Fort Knox, what do we do when they abandon us?  Have they already?  3. What about the other nations?  If this is factual, it’s damaging to a lot of people and countries’ interests.I better understand the wild-eyed stares of the Ron Paul/Audit the Fed people a lot better these days.

Bad Idea Of The Day: Rape Video Game

Mar 30th, 10 / 0 Comments

I wouldn’t be too surprised to find out that US “stimulus” dollars went into this, as we seem to fund every other perversion (link):

Tokyo, Japan (CNN) — The game begins with a teenage girl on a subway platform. She notices you are looking at her and asks, “Can I help you with something?”

That is when you, the player, can choose your method of assault.

With the click of your mouse, you can grope her and lift her skirt. Then you can follow her aboard the train, assaulting her sister and her mother.

As you continue to play, “friends” join in and in a series of graphic, interactive scenes, you can corner the women, rape them again and again.

The game allows you to even impregnate a girl and urge her to have an abortion. The reason behind your assault, explains the game, is that the teenage girl has accused you of molesting her on the train. The motive is revenge.

When does a video game go too far?

It is little wonder that the game, titled RapeLay, sparked international outrage from women’s groups. Taina Bien-Aime helped yank the game off store shelves worldwide.

“This was a game that had absolutely no place on the market,” said Taina Bien-Aime of women’s rights organization Equality Now which has campaigned for the game to be taken off the shelves.

But the controversy that led to stopping sales of the game instead took it viral.

That was how Lucy Kibble and Jim Gardner in Britain heard about it.

“I think the idea that you can do it by wholesale banning is just never going to work anyway because we downloaded it for free off the Internet,” Gardner said.

In the case of RapeLay, he was right. It is still readily available on dozens of Web sites, sometimes for free.

What happened to RapeLay is an example, said Bien-Aime, of why Japan needs to police game makers.

“It’s obviously very difficult to curtail activity on the Internet. But the governments do have a role in trying to regulate this sort of extreme pornography of children, both in their countries, and through the Internet ,” she said, adding that they were calling for the Japanese government “to ban all games that promote and simulate sexual violence, sexual torture, stalking and rape against women and girls. And there are plenty of games like that. ”

Those games are known as “hentai games.” Almost all feature girlish-looking characters. Some of the games are violent — depicting rape, torture and bondage in detail.

Just another abomination.

Recording for Posterity: President Mocks Millions of Americans

Mar 27th, 10 / 0 Comments

How Presidential!!! Always mocking, always smug, always arrogant. The placeholder at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue mocks half his country (link):

President Barack Obama, campaigning in Iowa on Thursday to sell his landmark healthcare overhaul, couldn’t resist mocking Republicans for warning that the reform would provoke “Armageddon” and other tactics he rejects as alarmist scaremongering.”I’m not exaggerating. Leaders of the Republican Party called the passage of this bill Armageddon. Armageddon! End of freedom as we know it,” he told a rally in Iowa City.”So after I signed the bill, I looked around to see if there were any asteroids falling, some cracks opening up in the earth? Turned out it was a nice day. Birds were chirping. Folks were strolling down the Mall,” he said.Opponents of the bill warn it will unleash another federal entitlement program that the American economy cannot afford that will inevitably lead to higher taxes and bigger deficits.Obama denies this complaint and said that the American people would be able to make their own minds up as they compared their own experience with the claims of his opponents.”From this day forward, all the cynics, all the naysayers, they are going to have to confront the reality of what this reform is and what it isn’t. They will have to finally acknowledge this isn’t a government takeover of our healthcare system,” he said.

Here’s a question: why do you have to “sell” your program after it’s already been purchased?  It’s like campaigning for consensual sex the morning after you date-raped someone. C’mon, did you think that we wouldn’t do that when you were dressed that way last night?You wanted it!That’s why I reject the Frum-Smerconish-Sullivan-Brooks-etc wing of useful idiot she-males who say “he’s my President”. I respect the office.  But he doesn’t!  Barack Obama is NOT my President.  I speak for tens if not a hundred millions who did not want what this guy is selling.  To then go around mocking those who object to federally-compelled health “insurance” as if it’s not a serious objection is not only cruel but highly unpresidential.It’s another porthole into a small, hateful, and soulless man.
