Senator Schumer says Palestinians and Arabs “don’t believe there should be an Israel.”

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Palestinians and Arabs “don’t believe there should be an Israel.” Wow an intelligent, logical and correct statement actually came out of the mouth of Chuck Schumer. Maybe that preacher was just a few days off, I think the end of the world might happen now after I heard what Sen. Schumer said. It is incredible he said it, but not surprising hardly any coverage about it on the 'state run media' networks. Schumer made this statement at a Jewish function this past Sunday: "The reason there is no peace in the Middle East is very simple. It’s because the majority of Palestinians and the majority of Arabs don’t believe there should be an Israel. It’s that simple. Anyone who tries to figure out a way to solve this conflict without realizing that truth will never get anywhere." A democrat actually speaking the truth simply and forthrightly, may wonders never cease. Well all I can say to that is hopefully the rest of the Democratic party wakes up to this reality. Better late than never to face the facts. I wonder if the rest of his Democratic colleagues think he is turning to the dark side. This may be the only thing Schumer has ever said that I agree with. However, the reality is that Schumer has had multiple opportunities over the years to say this very thing. It took the boldness and honesty of Prime Minister Netanyahu to make Schumer publicly utter the obvious….Arabs and Palestinians want the DESTRUCTION of the state of Israel. They want Jerusalem, and then the complete removal of any “Israeli State”. The Progressives agree with them. Someone needs to tell Obama that Schumer has faced reality and now it is his turn. I bet Obama could not believe his ears when he heard it. Sen. Schumer must have missed the talking points teleconference this week. Now we just need for Sen. Schumer to lean on President Obama to support Israel. The U.S. needs to make the support and the safety of Israel a priority again.

Obama the Red Tape, New Regulation, Federal Government Growing President

Under President Obama the amount of governmental red tape and new regulations has grown at an unprecedented pace. If it continues he will have increased the size of government more than any other president in history. In 2010 Based on data from the Government Accountability Office, an unprecedented 43 major new regulations were imposed by Washington. And based on reports from government regulators themselves, the total cost of these rules topped $26.5 billion, far more than any other year for which records are available. With the enactment of the new health care laws, financial regulations, and plans for more rule making in other areas, the regulatory burden on Americans is set to increase even more in the coming years. The hidden tax, is what they call the cost of all these new regulations, rules, restrictions, and mandates puts a heavy economic burden on Americans and the U.S. economy. The actual costs to Americans of all these new regulations is likely to be much higher. Because the agencies themselves are allowed  to make the initial calculations, thereby casting their proposals in the best light. The OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs conducted ex ante analyses of regulations to test the accuracy of cost-benefit estimates. The study determined that regulators underestimated costs 34 percent of the time. No surprise there. Even more moronically the EPA is prohibited by law from considering costs in devising regulations under the Clean Air Act and other major environmental laws. Thus, the agency recently set new, more stringent standards on emissions of nitrogen dioxide without formally considering the economic or technical feasibility of compliance. If we care about growing business and jobs in this county shouldn't we consider the economic cost of new EPA regulations before implementing them? Finally it has to be noted  that annual compliance costs constitute only part of the economic burden of new regulation. New rules also entail start-up costs for new equipment, conversions of industrial processes, and creating new data collection and reporting procedures. There are even more rules on the way. Obama is not done yet. According to one estimate, financial regulation legislation recently passed by Congress, the Dodd–Frank bill, will require 243 new formal rule-makings by 11 different federal agencies. This bill is so huge and far reaching in its authority it needs to be repealed by the next president. The Dodd-Frank bill gives the federal government way to much power. 2010 was a record setting year for new federal regulations, but 2011 is set to shatter that record. This growth in federal regulation puts increasingly more financial burdens on the country and economy. This is the worst time to place more burdens on a economy that is already struggling. Constantly growing the size and power of government is not the answer. Limited government with more power and more wealth in the hands of the citizenry is the answer.

The Home Depot Promotes the Homosexual Agenda

For years now The Home Depot has given its financial and corporate support to open displays on homosexual activism on the main streets of America. Instead of remaining neutral on the subject, The Home Depot has chosen to sponsor and participate in numerous gay pride parades and festivals through out the country. The goal of every homosexual organization supported by The Home Depot is to legalize gay marriage. Stephen Holmes a senior manager for The Home Depot said " At the end of the day here, we're not going to send anything out that forbids our associated to be involved in these festivals in any way." A glimpse of The Home Depot's record in supporting the homosexual agenda is as follows: June 2010 The Home Depot set up Kids Workshop at several homosexual festivals and parades, GLAAD ( a politically active gay group) announced on its web site that The Home Depot has agreed to match all contributions made by company employees, In 2008 the company sponsored Durham Pride Weekend, activities at this festival included messages for couples and drag shows.  This is anti logical to me. How does supporting these left of center, cultural left, and out right just plain wrong activities increase the brand awareness or goodwill of this company. If I were a stock holder of this company I would be outraged, then I would quickly sell my shares. The sponsoring of these events is not a plus for the business growth of this company. I am sure they have lost customers and some market share because of it. The executives of this company are supposed to be promoting its growth and overall goodwill to the majority of its potential customers. Instead the sponsorship of these activities flies in the face of the majority of its customers to generate goodwill in a segment of the population that is less that 10% of its total potential customer base. The support of these activities by The Home Depot is not just morally wrong, but it is very bad business practices as well.

Eric Cantor (R-VA) explains to AIPAC which Party really Supports Israel

The following our excerpts from Rep. Eric Cantor's speech to AIPAC on May 23. When Rep. Cantor was announced to give his speech his applause far outweighed what the President received:

Here is what he said about the issue of Iran’s fundamental threat:

Yet today the two-thousand-year-old dream of the state of Israel is in jeopardy. There is no other nation on Earth so routinely denied its right to exist and threatened with destruction. Recent developments in the region have moved Iran out of the headlines, but it is undeniable: the specter of a nuclear Iran looms larger than ever.We must never take our eye off Iran. And that’s why Congress will soon pass the bipartisan Iran Threat Reduction Act, making it official U.S. policy to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capability. Plain and simple, if you do business with Iran, you cannot do business with America. It is not okay to vilify Israel. It is not okay to demonize Jews. And it’s time to stop scapegoating Israel.

Here is what he said about Abbas Leader of the Palestians:

Stop naming public squares and athletic teams after suicide bombers. And come to the negotiating table when you have prepared your people to fore go hatred and renounce terrorism — and Israel will embrace you. Until that day, there can be no peace with Hamas. Peace at any price isn’t peace; it’s surrender.

Here is what he said about the issue of the Palenstian threat to Israel:

In order for us to win this great struggle, we must have the courage to see the world not as we wish it to be, but as it truly is. It is not morally equivalent when the offenses of terrorists are equated with the defenses of Israel. [Palestinian culture is] the root of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. It is not about the ’67 lines. And until Israel’s enemies come to terms with this reality, a true peace will be impossible … If the Palestinians want to live in peace in a state of their own, they must demonstrate that they are worthy of a state.

Alluding to the president, Cantor then said that friendship between Israel and the U.S. has to be based on reality, “not just on rhetoric.” While words come and go, “only deeds count.” And with another slap at the president, he remarked: “Now is the time to lead … from the front.”

President Rick Perry?

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he would consider jumping into the race for the Republican nomination for president. Sarah Palin also announced an east coast bus tour along with releasing a video this week. Governor Perry would certainly shake up the field if he runs, but insiders are still doubting he will. He has already let his "Karl Rove" leave and go to work on the Huntsman campaign. Some took that as a major sign he would not be getting in, but with the lack of any clear front runner he may be reconsidering. Perry, the longest serving governor in Texas history, would be a bona fide conservative in the race for the White House. He would also certainly be the tea party favorite. Remember last year when he threatened Texas leaving the Union if the federal government kept passing, unconstitutional in his view, laws. With Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour's departure from the race opened the door for a southern candidate. Mark McKinnon, a veteran political consultant who advised President George W. Bush’s campaigns, said of Perry, “The only real question is: Why wouldn’t he run?” "The candidates that are running are not the candidates that people want,” said Ryan Hecker of the Houston Tea Party Society. “They’re looking for someone, almost wistfully.” They are looking for someone like a Rick Perry or a Jeb Bush to enter the race.

In recent years, Perry has made a sport out of bashing Washington. He published a book, “Fed Up!” In the book he describes the federal government as financially reckless and out of control and calls for a resurgence of state-based power. He is definitely not for more expansion of the federal government. Instead he is for a radical reduction in the size of the federal government. This is what many primary voters are wanting to see in a candidate. Also another indicator he might jump in, he has been weighing in on matters with almost no relevance to Texas. Last week he issued a statement after President Obama's speech on Israel  he said “President Obama’s speech today continues a misguided policy of alienating our traditional allies, in this case Israel, one of our strongest partners in the war on terror,”. If Gov. Perry jumps in the Republican race for the White House things would get alot more interesting.

What? New Poll Puts Rudy Giuliani in First Place among Republicans?

Will former NYC-mayor Rudy Giuliani make a second run for the White House? That is yet to be determined but a new poll put out by CNN has him in the lead of the pack. He is in the front of the pack followed closely by Romney and Sarah Palin. So far two out of the three in the top of the Republican field are not even running. Another survey also suggests that there is not a lot of enthusiasm about any of the major candidates. The analysis is not alot of voters have decided yet. So you can not count our former Governor Tim Pawlenty, former Speaker Gingrich, or any of the other candidates out yet. Rep. Peter King (R-NY) fanned the flames of a possible Giuliani candidacy when he told reporters that he believes the former mayor will, indeed, jump into the race. King claims that Giuliani and his team have learned from their 2008 mistakes and that New Hampshire is the key. Coincidence, Giuliani just went to New Hampshire for a republican dinner? So the question is "To be or not to be" Rudy Giuliani a  presidential candidate that is. We will have to wait and see.

Gingrich's Economic Plan - A Great Plan for Economic Growth!

"Newt Gingrich may have, to the glee of the left, been written off by everybody who's anybody on the right. But he's put forth one of the most laudable economic plans in memory" says the Editorial on the Investors Business Daily site. His audacious five point economic reform plan is by far the best put forward by any presidential candidate. The best feature of his plan is that it totally eliminates capital gains taxes, and not just reduces them. This one point alone would be real economic stimulus and cost just a small amount of government revenue. It would have the potential to create millions of jobs, and that additional tax revenue would make up what would be lost by eliminating the capital gains tax. Hong Kong became the economic power house of Asia by its elimination of capital gains taxes. Having no tax on capital would attract foreign capital into the country. New foreign capital would pour into the country, spurring economic growth. The rest of the Gingrich economic plan is just as good: a no-new-taxes pledge, full deduction of capital expenses, a huge cut in our highest-in-the-world corporate tax and abolition of the estate tax. Equally as bold, he would repeal Obama Care, abolish the National Labor Relations Board and "replace" the Environmental Protection Agency. I can not wait to say good bye to the EPA. Newt Gingrich told CNBC  his plan comes straight out of "the Reagan playbook" and "would move us toward a very dramatic job growth," lessening government dependency and practicing fiscal restraint. If Newt Gingrich spends the coming months of the presidential campaign pushing this plan, and coming out with other plans as equally bold, new, and as great as these, he will be rising to the top of the field pretty quickly. This plan is that good, and that bold. It does remind one of Reagan. These kind of policy ideas will get people inspired, and start to support him. I don't think we can write of Newt yet. Especially after this bold and great economic plan.

Here we go again, More Liberal Hate Speech!

Here we go again, more liberal hate speech! This topic is becoming a regular occurrence on this site. It is because the leftist liberals keep spewing out the hate speech. I better not hear another liberal accuse a conservative of hate speech. The left have so much hate speech pent up in them it just keeps oozing out of them. So yesterday on the Ed Shultz show, Mr Shultz aid Laura Ingraham was a "right wing slut" and a "talk slut". Those are some very disrespectful things to say about a lady. Ed Schultz should not have said them, but his comments show a disturbing pattern among liberals - they are so full of hate speech. It just is hard to comprehend why they keep spewing it out. Hate speech after hate speech. Unbelievable!

How is Abortion Health care?

Planned Parenthood and the abortion lobby define abortion as health care, as being morally equivalent to a tonsillectomy. On Planned Parenthood’s Web site, the very first category under Health on the navigation bar is Abortion. The abortion lobby for years has been using poll tested language to try to main stream abortion into the health care category. They call abortion "reproductive health" and now are trying to just label it as your average health care issue,as a tonsillectomy. They know if they can redefine abortion from  what it is, to just another aspect of health care they will have won the debate. It will cease to be such a wide spread hot button issue and be categorized as health care by the federal government. The Americans United for Life legal team has documented cases in seven circuit courts and several federal district courts where the “mandatory categories of care” under Medicaid have been defined to include abortion. This is a disingenuous use of medicaid money.

Common sense would tell anyone that abortion is not health care. How could something, with its main objective to stop the beating of a human heart and subsequently cause that humans intentional death, be considered health care? Abortion by its very nature is the exact opposite of health care, and the abortion lobby knows this. That is why they have, for the past several years, been using their poll tested language for abortion, "reproductive health", as their new code word for abortion. So what is abortion? According to the dictionary, abortion is  the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy and/or any of various surgical methods for terminating a pregnancy, especially during the first six months.

So what are some of these so called "reproductive health" methods for terminating a pregnancy? During the first twelve weeks "suction abortion" is the most common technique used. Basically this procedure involves the use of a vacuum type machine used to suck the fetus out. This machine is 29 times more powerful than a common vacuum it basically tears the fetus and placenta into small pieces which are sucked through the tube into a bottle and discarded. Another method, which used to be very popular, is saline poisoning. A long needle injects a strong salt solution through the mother's abdomen into the baby's sac. The baby swallows this fluid and is poisoned by it. It also acts as a corrosive, burning off the outer layer of skin. It normally takes somewhat over an hour for the baby to die from this. Within 24 hours, labor will usually set in and the mother will give birth to a dead or dying baby. (There have been many cases of these babies being born alive. They are usually left unattended to die. However, a few have survived and later been adopted.). I am literally getting sick to my stomach as I write this. Will just tell you of one more method then I have to stop, this is just too heart wrenching to write about any more. The most cruel and in human method, which is currently restricted by law, of abortion is Partial Birth Abortion. The five steps to this are: 1) Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's legs with forceps, 2) The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal, 3) The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head, 4) The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the skull, and 5) The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.

I refer back to my original question, How can abortion be health care? Did any of this sound like health or care to you? How can anyone justify doing this? How can this be considered "a right" guaranteed by the Constitution (Roe v. Wade)? How can the members of the cultural left expect normal caring people to stand by silently while this is going on? How can they have the gall to think that they can relabel abortion as "reproductive health" and it will be OK? I end how i began. How can abortion be health care?

Abort Planned Parenthood Funding

E.P.A. gives $25,000 to an Environmental Activist Group!

The Environmental Protection Agency gave $25,000 in taxpayer money to an environmental activist group! In 2009 a dozen environmental protesters caused a traffic jam in the middle of Chicago's financial sector. They sat down in a circle in the middle of the road to protest. They were later arrested. Some of this dozen were members of the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO). Six months later this non law abiding group was awarded $25,000 from the EPA. It was called a environmental justice grant.  It was to be used  in a coalition with their partners to implement  areas of Climate Change Mitigation. After getting the grant, a half dozen activists from LVEJO and other groups were arrested after climbing the fence to a coal-fired power plant. The EPA gives them money knowing they protest illegally, then surprise after they get the money they continue breaking laws. Who was the genius in the EPA who thought this was a good idea? Was this protest at this coal-fired plant a coincidence? Or could it have been planned or encourage by someone higher up. Remember President Obama  spoke of bankrupting new coal-fired power plants. The Obama Administration’s first budget increased EPA funding to $10.3 billion, a whopping 36% over the preceding fiscal year. the EPA awarded or continues to have open more than 7,500 grants, totaling $3,847,160,250 to non-profit groups alone. This is not a good use of my tax money. This is depressing. No wonder we have a budget mess in Washington. When they are doling out money like crazy to far left, law breaking, environmental groups who just happen to be for bankrupting coal-fired plants. Just like the President is!

NYC Teacher Fired Over Christian Faith?

 Anita Wooten-Franci, an assistant special education teacher at PS 224, claims she was harassed and then fired over her christian faith. The school claims she was fired for allegedly grabbing a child. The teacher claims that charge was made up and that she really was fired because of her christian faith. The teacher says she was careful about her public displays of faith and prayed only when appropriate. Ms. Wooten-France led a worship group during “non-instructional hours.” Wooten-Franci claims that the school’s Principal, George Andrews, was vocal and often offensive about his dislike of her christian faith.  She says that Andrews would frequently make negative comments and that he told her, “You can’t be praying in my school.” In one instance, [the principle allegedly] criticized the disabled woman for using the elevator and told her to take the stairs. When she protested, he allegedly said, “Why don’t you just pray?” Then he laughed. That is sick if it is true. After she complained about these issues, Wooten-Francis says she was slapped with a false charge and subsequently fired. This is yet another example, if true, of the growing prejudice in this country towards Christians. If you are Muslim you can pray 5 times a day at a public institution, but if your a christian you better not even bow your head in a silent pray. If you are an atheist your rights are protected and lawsuits filed on your behalf from the ACLU, but if your a christian you can not even reference Christ in your own speech at your graduation. This is wrong, plain wrong! Our country was founded mainly by Christians, on christian principles. It was founded by some for the purpose to worship as they please. The constitution is clear on this manner "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" that is it, all it says about it. There is no separation of church and state clause in the Constitution. Americans should be free to be Christians in public in any setting!

Raise the Debt Ceiling or Default? Is that exactly True?

Am I one of the few people on the planet that sees this issue as a false either/or argument. To say either we raise the debt ceiling of default by August is a dishonest statemet to me. Why? Let me put this in tiny words so Congress, our economically challenged of the country, can understand. I will even use small numbers so Congress and others who believe this argument might can understand. I will even explain it in just six simple points.

1. Congress has passed a long list of spending desires called the budget. The total amount of money needed to pay for all their programs is, lets say $1000 (a little number). As the year goes by tax money comes in, and it becomes clear were only going to see about $700 in revenue.

2. The difference is $300...so far the entire argument is about voting to get authority to borrow the extra $300...The problem is, we already owe way to much. In fact we currently owe so much we are having trouble paying for it.

3. The left and their propaganda media outlets want to keep the issue solely on the schemes to get that extra $300...they refuse to even discuss what NOT getting the money really means. They, in a round about way, lie about it.

4. They pretend not getting the money means we cannot pay our bills and the entire financial world will collapse.

5. They refuse to note that we already have money to pay for the 70% of our DESIRED spending and that desired spending is something totally of their own creation. If we do not raise the extra money we can, dare I say, take a look at the desired/planned for spending and simply not spend the extra $300. Oh my goodness what a strange concept. That is exactly what every American household has to do!

6. The trillions  in existing debt is simple paid for with existing revenues. The new schemes and promises are what is in jeopardy. Congress has to exercise leadership. They have to set priorities and learn to say no. They have to live within their means. They have to act just like the average American household in that respect. This is not asking too much!

Note, no where above in 5 or 6,  is their default. There is just leadership, priority setting and less spending. Sounds very logical doesn't it? Maybe that is the problem. The liberals in D.C. seem to be the opposite of logical. Not spending as much as Congress desires or has promised is not default. The impact is political one, not economic one.

Obama Shredding the Constitution over involvement in Libya?

Is President Obama shredding the Constitution over the U.S. involvement in Libya? It appears he may be doing so. This of course wont be the first time he has chosen to shred it. According to the War Powers Act, passed in 1973 and signed by the President, President Obama can deploy U.S. troops for 60 days without congressional approval after that he has to get the approval or withdraw the troops with in 30 days. He has reached that deadline without seeking or getting congressional approval. As you recall President Bush asked for and received a vote of congressional approval for his actions in Afghanistan and Iraq.  Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg recently testified that the president has operated under the War Powers Resolution since the beginning of the Libya mission and that he will continue to do so, but if he does not get approval or withdraw in thirty days he is in violation of the constitution.

Lawmakers on both sides of the isle are not pleased with how the President is handling this. Rep. Brad Sherman, D-California, tells CNN he believes Obama is trying to “bring democracy to Libya while shredding the Constitution of the United States. He cannot continue what he is doing in Libya without congressional authorization. When a president defiantly violates the law, that really undercuts our efforts to urge other countries to have the rule of law” Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said “You could say, ‘Well, we have a good president, he’ll do the right thing.’ Well, someday you may have a president who does the wrong thing, and that’s why you have rules, because you can never count on people being good people.”  It seems to me this President will follow what laws he chooses, and violate any that stand in the way of what he wants to do. I am almost certain he will violate the War Powers Act and get away with it like he does everything else. Congress needs to get some backbone and stand up to this man!

Herman Cain Announces Bid for Presidency

The former CEO of Godfathers Pizza Herman Cain announced his bid for the presidency at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia this past Saturday at Centennial Olympic Park. Herman Cain said “I‘m running for president of the United States and I’m not running for second.” He joins a republican presidential field that also has in it Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), former Governor Gary Johnson (R-NM), former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA), former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney and former Governor of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty, is expected to announce soon. Cain is a genuine honest leader. The main question is can he win?  The primary argument against Cain, is the fact he has no political experience, which might be a good thing. As a former corporate CEO, he KNOWS his job is to listen to his vice presidents and board members for advice and decide, as a leader, the best choice given . Also if he has epiphanies or ideas, he knows to present them to his ‘cabinet” and listen to their advice.  Then  make the right decision as A LEADER should, and not make a major policy change on the state of Israel's borders without seeking the advice of anyone! Loved the line about Obama’s teleprompter: “We need a Leader in Chief, not a reader in chief.”  It looked like Cain did his whole speech without any notes, which means he knows how to think on his own. It looked like most of the crowd at the rally were Tea Partiers, wait I thought they were all racists? With Cain as the Republican nominee at least the main stream media could not accuse his supporters of being racists, he is 100% black, Obama is only half remember? We should examine Cain on the issues before jumping on any band wagon. We should ask him some of the following questions:
1.) Are you a Progressive, and will you fight to repeal the Progressive form of Government we now have?
2.) Will you challenge the Fed, you former employer, to and audit?
3.) Are you in favor of Affirmative Action?
4.) Will you fight to return the country back to the original intent and principles of the Constitution?
5.) Will you fight for a balanced budget or is it just talk?
In the end we need to vet Herman Cain just like any other candidate. Mr. Cain is finally providing some excitement and something to talk about in the Republican field.

Tennessee Senate Votes to Ban Teaching of Homosexuality

The Senate voted on Friday to limit the teaching, and materials used in the classroom of all elementary and middle schools "exclusively to age-appropriate natural human reproduction science." Republican Senate sponsor Stacey Campfield of Knoxville says "homosexuals don't naturally reproduce." Campfield said current state law is unclear on what can be taught on the subject. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Tennessee would become the first state to enact such legislation if the proposal passes. Opponents to the bill say it would be unfair to students who have same sex parents. My question to them is how is teaching actual indisputable facts about normal and natural human reproduction unfair? It would be unfair to teach made up or unverifiable "facts" to them. For example I believe it is unfair and flat out wrong to teach that same sex coupling is normal. That would be the unfair thing to do. I hope the House of Representatives in the State of Tennessee votes to ban the teaching of homosexuality next year as well, and I hope the Governor signs it right away.

Netanyahu confronts Obama about Pre 1967 Israel Borders!

President Obama's speech yesterday, about Israel which indicated a dramatic policy shift concerning Israel's borders, was a tremendous bomb of a speech. He totally miscalculated his own importance and relevance. To suggest Israel cede back territory to the Palestinians to  the pre 1967 borders is totally naive. He once again showed how ignorant in foreign policy he truly is. He gave this speech without, it is reported, even consulting his own advisers or cabinet. He had his press secretary basically lie to Israeli reporters about his speech the day before. His naivety on this issue is very dangerous for the nation of Israel. President Obama is obviously on the side of the Palestinians in this issue.

Prime Minister Netanyahu's response to President Obama's speech yesterday was a sharp slap in the face of the President. Netenyahu really gave it to him in his public statements at the White House. The Prime Minister sounded like a teacher scolding an unlearned student. It must have been very hard for his Highness Obama to set there and take that talking down too, scolding, and flat out 'dissing' Netenyahu was giving him. It was quite a spectacle to behold. What a mockery of the Presidency Obama is making. A U.S. President should never be in a position where a foreign head of state has to teach him foreign policy 101 in public in front of the world. What a completely inept president!

While sitting beside the President in the Oval office Prime Minister Netenyahu said the president's call for Israel to pull back to the borders that existed before the Six-Day War is not tenable. "We can't go back to those indefensible lines. ... I discussed this with the president. We both agree that a peace based on illusions will crash against the rocks of Middle Eastern reality. ... For there to be peace, the Palestinians will have to accept some basic realities -- the first is that while Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace it cannot go back to the 1967 lines, because these lines are indefensible" Netanyahu said the two leaders still agree on the "overall direction" for peace in the region. In a 2004 letter, President Bush wrote, to then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon "As part of a final peace settlement, Israel must have secure and recognized borders, which should emerge from negotiations between the parties in accordance with UNSC resolutions 242, 338, United Nations Security Council.  In light of new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli population centers, it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949," aka the pre-1967 borders, "and all previous efforts to negotiate a two-state solution have reached the same conclusion.  It is realistic to expect that any final status agreement will only be achieved on the basis of mutually agreed changes that reflect these realities." Before you make another big speech Mr. Obama maybe you should double check what current U.S. policy is on the issue. 

In a story out of Israel: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s associates expressed their disappointment with Barack Obama’s speech Thursday, with one aide saying that the US president is detached from regional realities. The PM’s associates told Ynet early Friday that Netanyahu, who departed to the US Thursday night, is prepared for a confrontation with President Obama on vital issues." A foriegn country calling our President "out of touch with ... reality." what a shame! They are right though.

Chicago must hire 111 Black Firefighters

Court: Chicago Must Hire 111 Black Firefighters

By Don Babwin, Associated Press – Fri May 13, 4:54 pm ET

CHICAGO – “A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that the Chicago Fire Department must hire 111 African Americans who passed a firefighters entrance exam 16 years ago and pay millions of dollars to thousands more who took and passed the same test.

The Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling was the latest blow to the city, which has been on the losing end of court decisions regarding the 1995 test for years, including a 2005 ruling by a federal judge who said the test discriminated against black applicants and a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year that the candidates did not wait too long to sue the city.

An attorney for the black firefighter candidates said that the 111 jobs would be filled from the applicants who passed the 1995 test and their pensions would be adjusted as if they'd been firefighters since 1995. And, said Joshua Karsh, 6,000 others who also passed the test will divide "tens of millions of dollars" that would have been paid 111 firefighters from 1995 until today.

A spokeswoman for the city's law department called the decision a "partial victory" for the city because it reduced the number of African Americans the fire department must hire from 132 to 111. "Reducing the number of plaintiffs who are eligible reduces the damages," said Jenny Hoyle.

Hoyle said that the city was still calculating the damages as result of dividing the back pay of 111 firefighters among the 6,000 applicants, but that officials estimate the payout will be about $30 million.

The ruling stems from a test given in 1995 that was intended to measure an aptitude for firefighting. After the test, anyone who scored 64 or below was deemed not qualified, but officials told those who scored above that number that while they passed, they would randomly hire the top 1,800 who scored 89 or better.

Because only 11 percent of the African Americans scored 89 or better, the overwhelming number of applicants hired from that test were white.

Karsh said the test was discriminatory because there was no evidence that the applicant who scored 89 or better would be any better firefighter than another who scored a 64, and in fact in 2005 a federal judge said the test discriminated against black candidates. In her ruling the judge said the city knew the cutoff point was meaningless and would disproportionately exclude blacks from the pool of candidates most likely to be hired.

"If the city of Chicago had selected firefighters at random from all the people who passed the test it would have gotten a pool of equally capable firefighters and the pool would have been more integrated," said Karsh said. He said he did not know when the hiring might begin, but said that he expected it to start soon.

After the judge's decision, the city, which hadn't given another test since 1995 because of ongoing court challenges, gave another test in 2006. But that test was given on a pass/fail basis and that all passing applicants, and not just the top ones, were processed randomly for additional tests such as physical agility and background checks.”

.......

Plubius - I think this is ridiculous! The city of Chicago is being told basically it must lower its standards in order to accommodate a more diverse set of applicants. The city of Chicago should be able to hire the most top qualified applicants regardless of race!

Medical Inflation 8.5% expected for 2012!

The medical inflation rate is expected to be 8.5% for 2012. This is bad news for the average American. With health care costs rising at that rate, prior to the main part of Obamacare kicking in, is a very bad sign. Obamacare is expected to put an extreme strain on the health care system in the United States. With an  8.5% medical cost inflation expected in 2012, according to a recent 30 page study, you can expect much higher medical inflation once Obamacare is fully implemented. This report should be considered a dire warning to the country. If you like your medical insurance you don't want Obamacare kicking. If you are already having trouble affording your medical insurance you don't want Obamacare kicking in. If you like medical freedom of choice you don't want Obamacare kicking in. Parts of Obamacare are already being implemented. Their is now a tax on indoor suntanning in effect . The maximum age a child can be carried on a parents insurance has been increased to 27. I believe this high medical inflation is occurring now in anticipation of what Obamacare will do to this countries Health care. It is sort of a fear index. The medical community does not know exactly how this will effect them, but they know the effect will not be good. In fact it will likely be devastating. This is just another example on how the historically bad policies of the Obama Administration are detrimentally affecting all parts of our lives. President Obama can not leave soon enough!

Newt Gingrich, Obama's New Best Friend?

Newt Gingrich on Sunday declared the house GOP plan to fix Medicare "right-wing social engineering." He then went on to say he still supports individual mandates in health care. Outraged Republicans erupted in unison, nearly everyone of them in the House voted for this. And of course Newt spent the next day parsing, qualifying, defending, backtracking and blaming the media for his statements. What I don't get is where has Newt Gingrich been the last two years. Isn't nearly unison opposition to Obamacare the ultimate conservative and Republican position right now? Are not all, at least I thought all, conservatives united in our position that the individual mandate in Obamacare is unconstitutional? Unbelievable is all I can say. It sounded like President Obama dressed up in a Newt Gingrich suit on Sunday. What would be the choice in November of 2012, if Gingrich got the nomination, they both would be for this massive socialistic albatross of a health care law? I do not know what happened to Gingrich he used to have his pulse, like no other, on conservative America. Now it seems like he has morphed into this liberal, socialist democrat. What happened Newt, what happened?

IMF Chief a Rapist?!

IMF chief a Rapist?! The reaction in France to the arrest of the french IMF chief ranged from shock to disbelief to sadness. Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested while inside a plane on the tarmac just before take off. A few minutes later he would have been over the Atlantic and could not have been arrested. One french politician said he was a victim of a "lynching" others caution against a rush to judgement. IMF Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was considered a leading contender in the race for president of France next year."There's a general feeling of a media, a judicial fury -- of a lynching," Jack Lang, France's former minister of culture and education and a Socialist Party lawmaker, told Europe 1 radio. Strauss-Kahn's Defense attorney Benjamin Brafman said "The forensic evidence, we believe, will not be consistent with a forcible account, and we believe there is a very, very defensible case, and he should be entitled to bail." "There is a real feeling that there's a rush to justice here," said Nathan King, a correspondent for France 24 television network. In arguing against allowing the IMF chief to go free on bond Monday, prosecutors said during his arraignment they believe Strauss-Kahn has engaged in "similar acts" at least once before. IMF chief  Dominique Strauss-Kahn is being held in virtual solitary at Rikers' Island in New York. So far he has been refused bail.

Osama was Plotting to Assasinate Obama!

It has been discovered in information seized from bin Laden's personal papers that he was plotting to assassinate President Obama by the tenth anniversary of 9/11. It is apparent from reading his journals that Osama was obsessed with wanting to assassinate President Obama. He was angry at him for disrespecting and desecrating the Muslim faith. Osama was urging followers to assassinate President Obama in hopes it would also disrupt the presidential elections in 2012. “I would say this is probably very personal on bin Laden’s part, to kill a President that he believes has violated the Muslim faith,” Brad Garrett, a former FBI profiler, said to ABC News “He is incensed, inflamed, obsessed about killing the President.” The treasure trove of information uncovered at bin Ladens compound also uncovered the following other plans: Osama bin Laden

• was calling on followers to assassinate the President
• planning for another 9/11 to replicate mass attacks of the past
• gave orders to target  smaller U.S. cities such as LA
• wanted to ‘sow political dissent’ in Washington
• was urging followers to strike on the anniversary of 9/11 and Fourth of July

I seems that President Obama by ordering the mission to get Osama might have in the long run averted his own assassination attempt on the orders of Osama.

Bush decsribes moment Obama broke news about Osama to him

“I was eating souffle at Rise Restaurant with Laura and two buddies,” ABC reports Bush said. “I excused myself and went home to take the call,” he explained. “Obama simply said ‘Osama Bin Laden is dead.’” President Bush went on to say how President Obama decribed the raid to kill Osama bin Laden in detail to him and President Bush said he told President Obama it was a "good call". Bush went on to give his thoughts on what bin Ladens' death means. President Bush said "“The guy is dead. That is good, Osama’s death is a great victory in the war on terror. He was held up as a leader.” He added “The intelligence services deserve a lot of credit. They built a mosaic of information, piece by piece." He ended with saying "I met SEAL Team Six in Afghanistan. They are awesome, skilled, talented and brave, “I said, ‘I hope you have everything you need. One guy said, ‘We need your permission to go into Pakistan and kick ass.’” Team Seal Six finally got that permission from President Obama and they did just what they said they would do. Great job Seals and God Bless America!

"Common" at White House shows a lack of Common Sense

To have the rapper "Common" at The White House shows a severe disconnect from the average American. This also shows a dramatic lacking in Common Sense. The White House is very inept and shows a  lack of connection with the common American in inviting this vulgar rapper to The White House. Since when is misogynistic lyrics to rap songs considered poetry? To even consider honoring "Common" as a great American poet is ridiculous. This White House and President has shown and is showing a consistent, concerning, and seemingly willful disregard to the common sense sensibilities of the average American. I hope America decides she has seen enough of this President's disgraceful and disrespectful attitudes, appointments, and honoring's  and votes him out next November!

Inflation! - Thanks Obama!

Inflation -In economics, inflation is a rise in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. Consequently, inflation also reflects an erosion in the purchasing power of money – a loss of real value. We have seen how nasty and quickly inflation is playing it's way out with gas prices. This in turn is affecting the price of pretty much everything else.

Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker said on Monday "We need to be careful that we don't let inflation overshoot, Change in the policy stance before the end of the year is certainly conceivable in my mind." He went on to say "We've got to keep a really vigilant eye on inflation prospects right now. This is the time in expansions when the risk of inflation taking a quantum step up I think are greatest," he said.

U.S. consumer prices jumped 2.7 percent in the year to March, but rose only 1.2 percent outside the energy and food sector. Lacker said keeping inflation in check is the ultimate goal. Does anyone realize one of the main culprits in the inflation spike in the energy sector of the economy is Obamanomics? President Obama's energy policy is destroying our energy competitiveness world wide. His policies are putting us very far behind in developing new oil supplies and energy reserves. It will take years to undo the damage Obama's energy policies have wrought. President Obama's moratorium on drilling has a big part in the rising cost of oil. His policy in Libya has been a cause as well. His Energy Secretary has said he wants $5 a gallon gas. Sec. Chu said America needs European prices on gas, so we will use less. Well President Obama and Secretary Chu have brought us $5 a gallon gas, and this in turn is now causing a spike in the inflation rate of nearly 3% so far this year. This is causing many Americans to have trouble making it financially. All thanks to an intentional government manipulation of energy policies to create $5 a gallon gas.

Bizarre Liberal Hate Speech about bin Laden Death

"It’s increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination .... There appears to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, .... In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial ." Noam Chomsky said about the operation killing bin Laden Sunday.

Noam Chomsky a so called "philosopher" and "cognitive scientist" of the left referred to bin Laden as an unarmed victim? Really are you serious Mr. Chomsky.He also referred to bin Laden in same quote as a mere suspect. Again are you insane Mr. Chomsky? Do you not remember in a 2004 statement bin Laden himself took full credit for the 9/11 attacks. Did you forget about that?

It just gets worse with Chomsky he went on to say that George W. Bush’s crimes “uncontroversially…exceed bin Laden’s.” What drugs are you on Mr. Chomsky. Are you from another planet? To say President Bush committed worse crimes than that of bin Laden is total idiocy! But hold on there is still more hate coming from this man "We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic" Is this man even sane? I think we should institutionalize him against his will until he regains his sanity. I can not comprehend how some people on the left could even think this way. It is beyond belief, but they do.

History of Mothers Day

In the United States, Mother's Day is an annual holiday celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Mother's Day recognizes mothers  motherhood in general, as well the positive contributions that they make to society.
Although many Mothers Day celebrations around the world have different origins and traditions, most have now been influenced by the American traditions

The holiday was declared officially by the state of West Virginia in 1910, and the rest of states followed quickly. On May 8, 1914, the U.S. Congress passed a law designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day and requesting a proclamation. On May 9, 1914 President Wilson  issued a proclamation declaring the first national Mother's Day. In 1934, U.S. President Roosevelt  approved a stamp commemorating the holiday

As the Declaration of Independence was being signed Samuel Adams declared "We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come."

Majority of Americans Pay NO TAXES!

Taxes are all about the numbers. Tax rates, income brackets and what you may owe or get back as a refund from the I.R.S. An analysis by the Joint Committee on Taxation found that the majority of Americans get a free ride on the backs of the minority. The Committee found that only 49% of Americans in 2009 paid any taxes, 51% paid no taxes at all. The same report also pointed out that 30% actually made money, profited thanks to the tax code.

The Joint Committee said  the 2009 figures are not yet final, but the unofficial results are devastating enough. We are now a 'nanny state' where the minority pays for and takes care of all the governmental needs of the majority, and some of the minority actually make money off the tax code (i.e. Earned Income Credit).

The Joint Committee numbers are slightly higher than the recent report by the nonprofit Tax Policy Center that said around 45% of U.S. households will end up paying no taxes. Again, these studies look at income taxes, not other taxes such as FICA payroll taxes that go toward the Social Security and Medicare programs.

A Tax Fairness hearing has been requested by the Seante Finance committe to look into the distribution of tax benefits and the overall burden of the tax code to those who pay the taxes. In his opening remarks, Senate Finance Chair Max Baucus (D-Mont.) pointed out the perception by many taxpayers that loopholes and tax benefits exist mainly for the rich. This, he said, makes it difficult to achieve the goal to see a fairer and more equitable tax system.

Reconciling the tax loopholes so that everyone is satisfied, including the U.S. Treasury and the IRS, is no easy task. Senate Finance Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said in his opening statement, "How Washington politicians hope to determine this fair share in an even-handed way that does no harm to our economy and job creators remains a mystery to me." You sure can bet that Hatch and his colleagues will get lots of suggestions of how to solve the tax code problem as the debate continues.

Michael Moore:"bin laden executed,"&"He won."

Michael Moore is the biggest waste of an American citizen I think I have ever seen. To even suggest such a thing as "bin laden won" is ludicrous. Moore said “Common sense tells you [bin Laden] was executed. That was the plan all along. Just tell us that and quit treating us like children.” The thought in this quote keeps crossing my mind as well. It does appear we went in to kill bin Laden. And I hope we did intend to execute him and not bring him back to put on trial. I support the killing of bin Laden 100%! Moore seems to think bin Laden deserved his day in court he said " Look at the Nuremberg Trials. We didn’t just pop a bullet in the heads of the worst scum in history. We thought it was important to put them on trial and expose their evil. In a democracy we believe in a system of justice and we believe in a judicial system that gives people a day in court…and then we hung them." I ask why not just pop a bullet in their heads in the first place then? Moore claims that the Pakistani government held bin Laden at the location  (he refers to the compound as the Pakistani version of West Point) intentionally to “stop him [from] any more terror.”  Moore goes on to claim that bin Laden “[probably] f-ed up & started planning something.” Moore tweeted the following on the bin laden killing : “He may be dead, but in a way, he won. We gave up our rights. We passed a PatriotAct. We spent trillions on needless wars. Fear now rules us.” Apparently idiocy rules Michael Moore. Why does he hate America so much. The freest country in the world. The country that does the most good in the world and he hates it. Increased safety measures that secure American freedoms also apparently count for nothing. While it defies logic, in Moore’s moronic eyes bin Laden has been victorious. Why doesn't Moore just move to Venezuela and bunk with Chavez already?

Osama bin Laden a Coward

Sources involved in the operation that killed Osama bin Laden said the terrorist leader acted “scared” and “completely confused” in his final moments, “shoving his wife” at the Navy SEAL who ultimately shot him.

The information helps to clarify the conflicting reports about what truly happened during 40-minute raid on bin Laden’s  Pakistani compound. Sources who were part of the mission said bin Laden acted in a “cowardly manner” when confronted. Also bin Laden was unarmed, but he was standing near the door within reach of two weapons — an AK-47 and a Makarov handgun. Both are now in U.S. custody. The handgun is a 9mm semi-automatic Russian pistol, standard issue in the Russian military until 1991.

Another source said the first shot fired at bin Laden, when he poked his head out of his bedroom, missed. This detail was first revealed by Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., based on information he obtained during a classified briefing to members of Congress. Afterward, two different SEALs fired on bin Laden, one hitting his chest and one hitting his forehead.

The Coward bin Laden shoves his wife at a SEAL to avoid capture or his death, what a coward he was. The evil mastermind of 9/11 just a pathetic little coward who tried to hide behind his wife.

"They counted on us to be passive.....They counted wrong!"

President Obama, Vice President Biden, Sec. of State Clinton, Sec. of Defense Gates and others of the national security team monitor Sunday's raid for bin Laden. " A lot of people were holding their breath," said White house counter terrorism advisor John Brennan. This was truly a historic day for America. Along with the historic picture taken above. I am sure this will be viewed in decades to come as the day America got her most wanted. The day we got bin Laden. The day America exacted revenge on the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. I am reminded of a quote from President Reagan, it was in regards to the Libyan terrorist attack on a night club in Germany that killed some U.S. Marines, "They counted on us to be passive,.....They counted wrong." The last part of that quote he said very forcefully and determined. I think that quote applies here very well. They counted on getting away with the 9/11 attacks. They thought we were to impotent to retaliate effectively against them. Well in the words of President Reagan "They counted wrong!" And our retaliation was forceful and determined.  President Obama made a gutsy call to initiate this operation, but the credit for the death of bin Laden goes to the C.I.A. and the Navy Seal team that executed it brilliantly. I think President Reagan had some fore sight when it came to the terrorists. They mistakenly thought we were a fractured lazy and impotent country when it came to national defense. Well when it comes to defending America from foreign attacks and uniting together, this country is the best in the world. It was a great day for America Sunday. President Reagan had it right. When it comes to defending our nation we are not passive "they counted wrong!"

Obama's Speech On Death of bin Laden

An American Soldier killed bin Laden

Let's be clear: OBAMA did NOT kill Osama bin Laden. An American soldier, who just a few weeks ago Obama was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. Obama just happened to be the one in office when our soldiers finally found Osama bin Laden and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory! But Obama did give the orders to go in and take him out, so we have to acknowledge the part he played. This shows America's resolve does not fade over time. It may take a week, month, year or a decade but we will exact justice when justice is do. The last part of the pledge "with liberty and JUSTICE FOR ALL!" applies very well to yesterdays event.  Osama, yesterday you experienced some justice, American style. I want to thank all the American soldiers involved in the operation to kill bin Laden. I also want to thank all who have served to protect our country, our freedom, and freedom around the world. Osama bin Laden is dead, but al qaeda is not. Let us capitalize on this victory we achieved yesterday and double down our efforts to rid the world of the terrorist scum. A great victory for America yesterday. It might not be right to say, but revenge sure does feel good.

OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Osama bin Laden is DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. The U.S. Special forces in a raid into Pakistan Sunday killed Osama bin Laden. The U.S. has custody of his body. His death is confirmed. The mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks has been killed by the U.S. Military. Osama bin Laden is dead finally!!!! The U.S. never gives up. The U.S. today has brought justice to all the victims of bin Laden's attack on the U.S. on September 11, 2001. It has been almost ten years, but we finally got the cowardly murderer bin Laden. Bin Laden is Dead! On September 11, sources said, the evidence immediately pointed to bin Laden. Within days, those close to the investigation said they had their proof. Six days after the attack, President George W. Bush made it clear Osama bin Laden was the No. 1 suspect. "I want justice," Bush said. "There's an old poster out West that said, 'Wanted, dead or alive.'" Well President Bush you got your wish bin Laden is DEAD!

OSAMA BIN LADEN KILLED BY U.S. FORCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OSAMA BIN LADEN HAS BEEN KILLED TODAY BY U.S. SPECIAL FORCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! President Obama said justice has been served and that America never forgot what happened on 9/11. The President also said this shows that America can do anything it puts its mind to. This is a great symbolic victory for America in the war on terror. The world should be on notice America never forgets, America will not surrender, America will always pull through, America will, in the end, do what it takes to win. God Bless America! What a day to remember. Just like 9/11 we will always remember where we were when we heard this news. President Obama said Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by U.S. Special forces. He said he was killed in a fire fight. President Obama authorized and ordered the mission to kill Bin Laden inside Pakistan this morning. He said the planning of this had begun in August of last year. It is reported that Bin Laden died from one bullet to the head. That sounds like it could have been execution style, if it was that is fine with me.

Sen. Manchin Joins other Senate Dem's in Backing Bill to Cap Govt. Spending

Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said Tuesday he would back a bill that places strict caps on spending enforced by automatic cuts if those caps were breached. Top Senate Democrats oppose spending caps as too inflexible. Sen. Manchin's announcement could weaken the Dem's position in the coming negotiations over increasing the debt ceiling. Congressional Republicans and even some Democrats have said they will not vote to raise the debt ceiling unless it is tied to reforms in government spending. Manchin's support for the CAP Act, means supporters of the bill are one vote shy of a majority, according to the office of Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, who co-authored the bill with Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee. The CAP Act is a "fiscal straitjacket" that would force Congress to reduce spending dramatically, according to Corker. Over the next ten years, it would reduce spending to no more that 20.6 percent of gross domestic product, down from the current level of 24.7 percent. If Congress did not stay under the cap, the executive branch would have "to make evenly distributed, simultaneous cuts throughout the federal budget to bring spending down to the pre-determined level," according to the bill. Only a vote by two-thirds majority of both the House and Senate could prevent the automatic cuts. The republicans need to keep this fight, over the debt ceiling and spending cuts, going as long as possible. The Democrats are slowly falling away from their leadership and siding with the Republicans on this issue. It seems you hear of another Dem switching sides on this issue every few days. Keep fighting the good fight conservatives.
