Islamist Group March for 'Full Sharia Law in Britain'
According to Benedict Moore-Bridger at www.thisislondon.co.uk:
Islamist extremists will march through London tomorrow calling for full implementation of sharia law in Britain.
Supporters of the Islam For The UK group, led by extremist Anjem Choudary, will converge on Westminster for the march, from the House of Commons to Downing Street and Trafalgar Square.
Choudary is a founding member of the British wing of the outlawed extremist group Al-Muhajiroun. Islam For The UK has pictures on its website of British landmarks including the House of Parliament with minarets and Islamic motifs added. It also said Buckingham Palace should be turned into a mosque.
The group calls for an end to liberalism and claims Britain needs to prepare for an Islamic revolution. Choudary is also a supporter of the banned preacher Omar Bakri, who was to give a video-link address from Lebanon to a meeting in Millbank to publicise the rally. Last night the group's website was apparently hijacked by a far-Right group advocating a "guerrilla war".
Patrick Mercer, Tory MP and ex-Army officer, described Choudary's plans as "extremely distasteful". He added: "If anyone thinks those views are a step forward they are seriously deluded. They are repellent and repulsive."
An Islamic Society of Britain spokesman said: "99.999 per cent of Muslims despise these people
-------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier this year the UK banned Michael Savage an American Talk Show Host just because they didn't agree with what they consider his extremist views . . . . . and now they are going to allow these Muslims calling for an Islamic revolution to march through the streets of their country. Aren't these people inciting racial/religious hatred? I wonder if the Al-Muhajiroun group would be OK with Christians marching in an Islamic country?
Isn't there are enough countries in this world with Sharia Law in place. Why don't these maniacs go there and leave the British alone. They don't want your laws in their Country.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a couple of definitions of Sharia Law:
Sharia Law - Muslim or Islamic law, both civil and criminal justice as well as regulating individual conduct both personal and moral. The custom-based body of law based on the Koran and the religion of Islam. Because, by definition, Muslim states are theocracies, religious texts are law, the latter distinguished by Islam and Muslims in their application, as Sharia or Sharia law.
Sharia Law - code of law derived from the Koran and from the teachings and example of Mohammed; "sharia is only applicable to Muslims"; "under Islamic law there is no separation of church and state"

Mark of Stupidity. . . .
According to www.dailymail.co.uk:
There was little to disguise what these two had been up to moments before police pulled them over.
Would-be burglars Matthew McNelly and Joey Miller's masterplan had one tiny flaw --their 'disguises' comprised of masks drawn on their faces with permanent marker pen.
American police stopped their car after a witness reported two men 'with painted faces' were trying to break into a flat in Carroll, Iowa.
The caller added that the pair were wearing dark, hooded tops and had driven off in a big white car.
Police soon spotted a 1994 Buick Roadmaster matching the description and stopped it at gunpoint.
Inside they found the two men, both of whom had what appeared to be masks, beards or moustaches scrawled on to their faces.
McNelly, 23, and Miller, 20, were both charged with attempted second-degree burglary and released on bail.
McNelly was also charged with drunk driving.
The pair are due in court next month. Hopefully the disguises will have washed off by then.

Maybe they were just getting painted up and ready for Halloween. . . .

”My country is so advanced in medicine that. . . .”
An Israeli doctor said to a medical conference, "Medicine in my country is so advanced, we can take a kidney out of one person, put it into another and have him looking for work in six weeks!"
The German doctor stood up and said, "well medicine in my country is so advanced, we can take a lung out of one person and put it into another and have him looking for work on 4 weeks"
The Russian doctor got up and said "My country is even more advanced, we can remove half a heart from one person, put it into another and have them both looking for work in just 2 weeks!"
Not to be outdone, the American doctor stood up and addressed the conference, "Well" he said "My country is so far advanced in medicine, we can take an Asshole out of Chicago, put him in the White House, and have half the country looking for work in 24 hours!"

Obamacare Bill $2.24 Million Per Word. . . .
According to Jonathan Allen at politico.com:
It runs more pages than War and Peace, has nearly five times as many words as the Torah, and its tables of contents alone run far longer than this story.
The House health care bill unveiled Thursday clocks in at 1,990 pages and about 400,000 words. With an estimated 10-year cost of $894 billion, that comes out to about $2.24 million per word. .
And for some members, that may not be enough.
A “robust” public option can’t be found in the bill. Neither can the word “doctor” – save for a few references to degrees. No “cost curve” is bent. No “blue pill” is dispensed.
“Death” and “taxes” are both in there, but “death panel” is not.
The text defines dozens of words and phrases, including “family” (“an individual and . . . the individual’s dependents”), “health insurance coverage,” “exchange-eligible individual” and “Indian.”
And for those who cry “read the bill,” beware. There are plenty of paragraphs like this one:
“(a) Outpatient Hospitals – (1) In General – Section 1833(t)(3)(C)(iv) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395(t)(3)(C)(iv)) is amended – (A) in the first sentence – (i) by inserting “(which is subject to the productivity adjustment described in subclause (II) of such section)” after “1886(b)(3)(B)(iii); and (ii) by inserting “(but not below 0)” after “reduced”; and (B) in the second sentence, by inserting “and which is subject, beginning with 2010 to the productivity adjustment described in section 1886(b)(3)(B)(iii)(II)”.
The section deals with “incorporating productivity improvements into market basket updates that do not already incorporate such improvements,” if that helps.
Optimistic lawmakers say it could take a week just to get through the bill’s text.
“I’ll have to call an emergency meeting of my staff and drop the customary procedure of me reading and my staff not reading,” joked House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), who famously told filmmaker Michael Moore that lawmakers “don’t read most of the bills.”
“It’s one thing to read it,” said Rep. Lee Terry (R-Neb.), a lawyer who voted against the first version of the bill on its way through the Energy and Commerce Committee. “It’s another thing to understand it when it’s written in legalese.”
When given the bill’s dimensions, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) noted that some members are faster readers than others.
“That’s one afternoon for Barney Frank,” he said.
Republicans aide said a print-out of the bill weighs more than 19 pounds and stands nearly nine inches tall.
North Carolina Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry, 34 years old and a few inches taller than 5 feet, said the bill could act as a ”booster seat.”
Democrats say the essence of the bill isn’t much different from the three sister bills they moved through committees this summer, which came in around 1,000 pages.
If you read those, they say, you pretty much know what’s in this one.
“It’s almost a complete certainty that we have already discussed and debated almost every element that’s in this bill,” said Rep. Steve Rothman (D-N.J.)
McHenry took issue with the notion that the 2,000-page bill hasn’t changed much from the earlier, 1,000-page versions. To prove the point, he pulled out a Democratic-written summary of the changes.
All eight pages of them.
Asked why the House will vote on the roughly 400,000-word bill in a week when it takes a congregation a year to read the 80,000-word Torah at a synagogue, Rothman, who is Jewish, exhibited the wisdom of a Talmudic scholar.
“It only takes a year because you read one section a week,” he said.
But Republican Rep. Joe Barton, who is Texan, said the bill is “about four reams of paper” that add up to the American public “getting reamed.”

International Day of Climate Action. . . .
Saturday, October 24, 2009 was the International Day of Climate Action according to 350.org
Understanding 350. . . .
•And what does this 350 number even mean?
350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide—measured in "Parts Per Million" in our atmosphere. 350 PPM—it's the number humanity needs to get back to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change.
•How do we get the world on track to get to 350?
We need an international agreement to reduce carbon emissions fast. The United Nations is working on a treaty, which is supposed to be completed in December of 2009 at a conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. But the current plans for the treaty are much too weak to get us back to safety. This treaty needs to put a high enough price on carbon that we stop using so much. It also needs to make sure that poor countries are ensured a fair chance to develop.
•Isn't America the biggest source of the problem? What about China and India?
Yes—America has been producing more CO2 than any other country, and leads the industrialized world in per capita emissions. Even though China now produces as much CO2 annually, the US still produces many times more carbon per person than China, India, and most other countries. And America has blocked meaningful international action for many years. . . .
China and India and the rest of the developing world need to be involved. But since per capita they use far less energy than the West, and have been doing so for much shorter periods of time, and are using fossil fuels to pull people out of poverty, their involvement needs to be different. The West is going to have to use some tiny percentage of the wealth it built up filling the atmosphere with carbon to transfer technology north to south so that these countries can meet their legitimate development needs without burning all their coal.
Watch this video and you will see what kind of fruitcakes we are dealing with. . . .One blogger wrote: So, they don't want us to eat meat, because farting cows emit too much co2, they don't want us to drive co2 emitting cars, farmers in CA have been destroyed financially to save the 2 inch Delta Smelt fish, and now they cry (literally) about the loss of trees.
At least the hippies of the 60's and 70's were mellow on their marijuana, these nutjobs must be on Meth. . . . . .
--------------------------------------------------
The 350.org website does nothing but demonize America. . . .We are the real threat to the world. It sounds like they got their talking points from listening to President Obama going around the world apologizing for America.
--------------------------------------------------
Chart below from the huffingtonpost. . . . .
--------------------------------------------------
According to gotquestions.org:
As Christians, we should be concerned about our effect on our environment. God appointed man to be the steward of this world (Genesis 1:28), not the destroyer of it. However, we should not allow environmentalism to become a form of idolatry, where the “rights” of an inanimate planet and its non-human creatures are held in higher esteem than God (Romans 1:25) and man created in His image.

Wonder how much C02 emissions would have been saved if these people that are full of nothing but hot air would have stayed home?
OMG. . . .I see a dog and it uses more CO2 than an SUV. . . . .
Wonder if they offered these kids a sandwich to show up like they offered free beer in Germany for Obama's speech?

The "ONE" Snubbed in Russia. . . . .UPDATE:
I received this in an email - author unknown:
RUSSIAN'S SNUB OBAMA BIG TIME!!!
Watch this 10-second video where a lineup of leading Russians refuse to shake his hand.
Did you see this on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or MSNBC? No, I didn't think so.
This is "hard ball", Soviet Style. After the third handshake refusal, it becomes obvious. The facial expression is priceless.
"I guess we're no longer in Chicago ".
What do the leaders of other countries know that we are not being told?
And, how in the world did Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Diane Sawyer miss this? If it had been Bush, think the media would cover it????
Anyone ever seen a Head of State snubbed like this? Speaks volumes.
It's gonna' be a rough ride, but the bloom is almost off the rose. . . . .author unknown

This is worst than not getting picked to play dodge ball in elementary school :) :)

Is Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty?
On October 14, Lord Christopher Monckton gave a presentation in St. Paul, MN on the subject of global warming. In this 4-minute excerpt from his speech, he issues a dire warning to all Americans regarding the United Nations Climate Change Treaty that is scheduled to be signed in Copenhagen in December 2009.
-------------------------------------------------
One blogger wrote: The Obama administration is attacking the Sovereignty of the United States of America from so many angles at the same time they are hoping that they can slip one through without us noticing. Terrorists, the Economy, the Climate - they are appealing to our lowest instincts - Fear, Greed, Guilt. Be vigilant.
---------------------------------------------------
I have to wonder if they will even read this TREATY before they sign it?
---------------------------------------------------
update:
According to www.timesonline.co.uk:
President Obama will almost certainly not travel to the Copenhagen climate change summit in December and may instead use his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech to set out US environmental goals, The Times has learnt.
With healthcare reform clogging his domestic agenda and no prospect of a comprehensive climate treaty in Copenhagen, Mr Obama may disappoint campaigners and foreign leaders, including Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband, who have urged him to attend to boost the hopes of a breakthrough.
The White House confirmed that the President would be in Oslo to accept the (Nobel) prize, but a source close to the Administration said it was “hard to see the benefit” of his going to Copenhagen if there was no comprehensive deal for him to close or sign.
---------------------------------------------------
I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens in Copenhagen. . . .the truth probably lies somewhere between both these stories.

Israel oh Israel. . . .
Genesis 12:2-3: God said to Abraham: "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
-------------------------------------------------
According to the weeklystandard.com:
In June, 2009, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel spoke at Bar Ilan University. . . .here is a small portion of what he said:
The connection of the Jewish People to the Land has been in existence for more than 3,500 years. Judea and Samaria, the places where our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob walked, our forefathers David, Solomon, Isaiah and Jeremiah – this is not a foreign land, this is the Land of our Forefathers.
The right of the Jewish People to a state in the Land of Israel does not arise from the series of disasters that befell the Jewish People over 2,000 years -- persecutions, expulsions, pogroms (riots), blood libels, murders, which reached its climax in the Holocaust, an unprecedented tragedy in the history of nations. There are those who say that without the Holocaust the State would not have been established, but I say that if the State of Israel had been established in time, the Holocaust would not have taken place. The tragedies that arose from the Jewish People’s helplessness show very sharply that we need a protective state.
The right to establish our sovereign state here, in the Land of Israel, arises from one simple fact: Eretz Israel is the birthplace of the Jewish People.
As the first PM David Ben Gurion in the declaration of the State, the State of Israel was established here in Eretz Israel, where the People of Israel created the Book of Books, and gave it to the world.
-------------------------------------------------
Below are some incredible facts that I received in an email about Israel. . . . Many people today seem to have forgotten or conveniently forget these known facts about Israel. . . .
These were compiled by a Christian university professor –
BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY....
It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew -- it doesn't matter.
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem. Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, Two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms (riots).
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be. What will we tell our grandchildren about we did when there was a turning point in Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make a difference?
--------------------------------------------------
According to gotquestions.org:
If there is an explicit biblical explanation for the animosity between the Jews and Arabs/Muslims, it goes all the way back to Abraham. The Jews are descendants of Abraham’s son Isaac. The Arabs are descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael. With Ishmael being the son of a slave woman (Genesis 16:1-16) and Isaac being the promised son who would inherit the blessings of Abraham (Genesis 21:1-3), obviously there would be some animosity between the two sons. As a result of Ishmael’s mocking Isaac (Genesis 21:9), Sarah talked Abraham into sending Hagar and Ishmael away (Genesis 21:11-21). Likely, this caused even more contempt in Ishmael’s heart towards Isaac. An angel prophesied to Hagar that Ishmael would “live in hostility toward all his brothers” (Genesis 16:11-12).

11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be. What will we tell our grandchildren about we did when there was a turning point in Jewish destiny, an opportunity to make a difference?
--------------------------------------------------
According to gotquestions.org:
If there is an explicit biblical explanation for the animosity between the Jews and Arabs/Muslims, it goes all the way back to Abraham. The Jews are descendants of Abraham’s son Isaac. The Arabs are descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael. With Ishmael being the son of a slave woman (Genesis 16:1-16) and Isaac being the promised son who would inherit the blessings of Abraham (Genesis 21:1-3), obviously there would be some animosity between the two sons. As a result of Ishmael’s mocking Isaac (Genesis 21:9), Sarah talked Abraham into sending Hagar and Ishmael away (Genesis 21:11-21). Likely, this caused even more contempt in Ishmael’s heart towards Isaac. An angel prophesied to Hagar that Ishmael would “live in hostility toward all his brothers” (Genesis 16:11-12).

Owning a Pet Worse than Driving a SUV. . . .
According to a Reuters article on cnbc.com:
They're faithful, friendly and furry — but under their harmless, fluffy exteriors, dogs and cats, the world's most popular house pets, use up more energy resources in a year than driving a car, a new book says.
In their book "Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living", New Zealand-based architects Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km (6,213 miles) a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.
Calculating that the modern Fido chows through about 164 kg of meat and 95 kg of cereals a year, the Vales estimated the ecological footprint of cats and dogs, based on the amount of land needed to grow common brands of pet food.
Instead they recommend keeping "greener," smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, hamsters, chickens or rabbits.
--------------------------------------------------
I had already heard that these greenie assh*les were pushing the idea of one child per family like they have in Communist China. . . .What will they be recommending next? Cannibalism. . . .
I say keep the Pets, get rid of the Socialists/Communist.

Elimination of a Tax Decrease. . . .
Listen to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's spin when asked in this video:
What about the Bush tax cuts, Bartiromo asked, suggesting that allowing them to expire essentially will be a tax increase.
Pelosi responded “it wasn’t a tax increase it is it is ah ah ah . . . .it is eliminating a tax decrease that was there. . . ."
Are you kidding me. . . . .Eliminating a Tax Decrease is a Tax Increase. . . .What kind of fools do these people take us for?
With unemployment at nearly 10 percent (Worse showing in 26 years), Pelosi was asked by CNBC's Maria Bartiromo, 'what is it gonna take to get Americans working again?
Pelosi also stated: "It's going to take a major investment in health care, in energy, in education''
When a democrat uses the word "investment" it is their code word for new taxes!
The "Bush" tax breaks are BAD! but the various laundry list of tax breaks for the "Pelosi" democrats are GOOD! Raising taxes during a recession is the surest way to send this economy over a cliff. . .
Obamacare and the Cap and Trade bill is going to cost the American tax payers TRILLIONS of dollars, and thousands of jobs too.

Obama Phone. . . . .
I received this information about the "Obama Phone" in an email and I just had to share it with you. . . . my response as usual was WTF?
--------------------------------------------------
More Hope and Change. . . .
This e-mail left me speechless. . . .What's next. . . .Health Club memberships. . . .AAA's membership. . . .Cable TV. . . . Season tickets to the Theater and Symphony. (Hell, I think we should throw in World Series and Superbowl tickets too. . . . oh and who can live without a big screen TV now-a-days. . . .du)
There is no reason to work anymore. Obama will take care of all your needs and wants.
I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his “Obama phone.” I asked him what an “Obama phone” was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month. I was a little skeptical so I Googled it and low and behold he was telling the truth.
TAX PAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE AND LOW-INCOME RECIPIENTS FOR FREE CELL PHONES.
This program was started earlier this year. Enough is enough, the ship is sinking and it’s sinking fast. The very foundations that this country was built on are being shaken. The age old concepts of God, family, and hard work have flown out the window and are being replaced with “Hope and Change” and “Change we can believe in.”

I found this FCC government website and it says:
Telephone service is considered a necessity for daily modern life. Yet the cost of starting and maintaining such service may be too high for some consumers. Under Congressional mandate, the federal Universal Service Fund (USF) supports the Lifeline Assistance and Link-Up America programs. These programs provide discounts on basic monthly service and initial installation or activation fees for telephone service at the primary residence to income-eligible consumers. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with the help of the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), administers the USF.
Who Pays for the Lifeline and Link-Up Programs?
All telecommunications service providers and certain other providers of telecommunications must contribute to the federal USF based on a percentage of their interstate and international end-user telecommunications revenues. These companies include wireline phone companies, wireless phone companies, paging service companies, and certain Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers.
Some consumers may notice a “Universal Service” line item on their telephone bills. This line item appears when a company chooses to recover its USF contributions directly from its customers by billing them this charge. . . .
---------------------------------------------------
I looked on my AT&T phone bill and there was a USF charge
TX USF Charge (3.40%) .19
The US Government knows when they mandate companies to provide services that they will turn-around and pass the charge/fees back to customers and consumers. . . .If this pisses you off. . . .just wait and see how you are going to be screwed with Obamacare and the Cap and Trade Energy bill . . .
-------------------------------------------------
update:
According to www.safelinkwireless.com. . . .In our version of the program you will receive free cellular service, a free SafeLink Wireless CELL PHONE and the assurance that you will get no bills and no contracts EVER!

Presumed Consent vs Explicit Consent. . . .
You can take my organs when you pry them from my cold dead body. . . .If Obama's "Regulatory Czar" gets his way they just may be able to. . . .
Read what Czar Cass Sunstein has to say about Organ donations. . . . .I guess it is not a donation if they take them without your permission. . . . and while you are still ALIVE. . . .
----------------------------------------------------
According to Aaron Klein at wnd.com:
Take organs from 'helpless patients'
Sunstein's proposal regarding marriage is hardly the only controversial section of his book. WND reported last week that in the same book, Sunstein defended the possibility of removing organs from terminally ill patients without their permission.
He also strongly pushed for the removal of organs from deceased individuals who did not explicitly consent to becoming organ donors.
Sunstein and Thaler discussed multiple legal scenarios regarding organ donation. One possibility presented in the book, termed by Sunstein as "routine removal," posits that "the state owns the rights to body parts of people who are dead or in certain hopeless conditions, and it can remove their organs without asking anyone's permission."
"Though it may sound grotesque, routine removal is not impossible to defend," wrote Sunstein. "In theory, it would save lives, and it would do so without intruding on anyone who has any prospect for life."
Sunstein continued: "Although this approach is not used comprehensively by any state, many states do use the rule for corneas (which can be transplanted to give some blind patients sight). In some states, medical examiners performing autopsies are permitted to remove corneas without asking anyone's permission."
Sunstein's example of medical examiners removing corneas, however, applies only to patients who are already declared deceased.
After defending the position, Sunstein conceded the "routine removal" approach "violates a generally accepted principle, which is that within broad limits, individuals should be able to decide what is to be done with and to their bodies."
Still, Sunstein did not add that the removal of organs from a living individual should be banned.
Also in the same book, CNSNews.com previously noted Sunstein argued for removing organs from deceased patients who are not registered as organ donors, a policy not without precedent. Spain and some European Union countries have been debating accepting a law of implied consent.
Writes Sunstein: "A policy that can pass libertarian muster by our standards is called presumed consent."
"Presumed consent preserves freedom of choice, but it is different from explicit consent because it shifts the default rule," he writes. "Under this policy, all citizens would be presumed to be consenting donors, but they would have the opportunity to register their unwillingness to donate, and they could do so easily. We want to underline the word easily, because the harder it is to register your unwillingness to participate, the less libertarian the policy becomes."
Sunstein continues: "Although presumed consent is an extremely effective way to increase the supply of organs available for transplant, it may not be an easy sell politically. Some will object to the idea of 'presuming' anything when it comes to such a sensitive matter. We are not sure that these objections are convincing, but this is surely a domain in which forced choosing, or what is referred to in this domain as mandated choice, has considerable appeal."
Sunstein advocates making it mandatory for all citizens to register either as an organ donor or as unwilling to donate their organs.
"Mandated choice could be implemented through a simple addition to the driver's license registration scheme used in many states. With mandated choice, renewal of your driver's license would be accompanied by a requirement that you check a box stating your organ donation preferences. Your application would not be accepted unless you had checked one of the boxes. The options might include 'yes, willing to donate' and 'no, unwilling to donate.'"
This loon also wants to abolish marriage. . . .read the rest of the story here:

Congress and the Constitution. . . .
Pelosi: Constitutionality of individual mandates not “serious” question. . . .
According to Ed Morrissey on hotair.com:
First Patrick Leahy scoffed at questions over whether the federal government has the authority to order Americans to buy a particular product, even though that has never happened in our 233-year history, and now the Speaker of the House claims that the question is “not serious.” CNS News has the audio of Nancy Pelosi providing the Democratic dodge on the constitutionality question:
CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”
Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”
Pelosi avoided answering the question, probably because she doesn’t have an answer. Her spokesman said that it was “not a serious question,” but if so, one would presume that Pelosi or her office could provide an easily-corroborated answer. After all, the Constitution is where Congress derives all of its authority. It’s not exactly a lengthy document. How difficult is it to cite the clause that enables Congress to impose a mandate on its citizens to spend money on anything but a tax?
Well, as it turns out, pretty darned difficult. The interstate commerce clause doesn’t apply because Congress doesn’t allow for interstate commerce in health insurance. The “general welfare” clause has never applied to individual mandates, which is why neither Leahy or Pelosi will invoke it publicly. If they trot that out in front of the Supreme Court, they’ll essentially be arguing that the federal government has the authority to impose any kind of mandates at any time on anyone in the country, which makes the limitations of power in the Constitution meaningless — and by extension, makes the Supreme Court meaningless as well. Good luck getting them to buy into that policy.

(double click to enlarge)
School Indoctrination - The 3R's: Rappin, Revolution, & Radicalism. You can't sing Christmas Carols, but worship of the Supreme Leader is promoted. Mao would be Proud!
White House Official’s Praise Communist Mao. . . .
Lizard Lady Anita Dunn, White House Communications Director praises Communist Mao Tse-Tung. . . .
According to CNSNews.com – White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told high school students in May 2009 that one of her favorite political philosophers was Mao Tse Tung, the Communist dictator responsible for the death of millions of people, and she explained why his philosophy was important for achieving personal and political goals.
Dunn continued: “In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities that had the army. They had the airport. They had everything on their side, and people said, ‘How can you win? How can you do this? How can you do this, against all the odds against you?’ And Mao Tse Tung said, ‘You know, you fight your war, and I'll fight mine.’”
“And think about that for a second,” Dunn told the students. “You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things, and you don't have to follow other people's choices and paths, Okay? It is about your choices and your path. You fight your own war. You lay out your own path. You figure out what's right for you. You don't let external definitions define how good you are internally. You fight your war. You let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path.”
Policies implemented under Mao Tse Tung, including the civil war, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and persecution in Tibet, among other policies, led to death of an estimated 65 million people, according to The Black Book of Communism (Harvard University Press), which is considered by scholars as one of the best sources on communist atrocities.
Mao also outlawed religion and sent at least 2.5 million people to “re-education camps,” called “laogai,” which were similar to the slave-labor camps in the Gulag of the Soviet Union. An estimated 1,000 laogai reportedly are still in operation today.

THEY CAME FIRST for the Ammunition. . . .
In May I posted this about Guns and Ammunition on my blog:
THEY CAME FIRST for the ammunition, so that they can avoid any issues concerning the 2nd amendment for your right to keep and bear arms. . . .
----------------------------------------------------
According to redding.com:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today signed into law a bill that requires buyers of handgun ammunition to leave thumbprints and detailed personal information with registered ammo sellers, as well as put restrictions on online bullet sales.
“Assembly Bill 962 reasonably regulates access to ammunition and improves public safety without placing undue burdens on consumers,” Schwarzenegger said in a letter explaining his decision.
The new restrictions will take effect Feb. 1, 2011.
Authored by Assemblyman Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, the bill bans direct shipping to Californians who buy bullets via mail order or over the Internet.
Instead, any ammo they buy would need to be picked up at a licensed handgun ammunition dealer, similar to the way guns are currently bought and sold.
The bill doesn’t require a waiting period to pick up ammunition as there is when purchasing firearms. All handgun ammunition must be kept behind store counters.
Ammunition that can be used in both pistols and rifles — like the popular .22 caliber round used by target shooters and small game hunters — fall under the new restrictions.
The bill also would require that those purchasing ammunition provide photo ID and a thumbprint.
The information would be kept on file and made available to law enforcement agencies
According to biggamehunt.net:
"This legislation will drive many small, independent retailers already struggling in a poor economy out of business or force them to flee California's burdensome and hostile regulatory environment for greener economic pastures elsewhere-- taking with them their jobs and tax revenue," said CAFR President Marc Halcon.
"Those retailers who can afford to stay will be forced to substantially raise prices to law abiding consumers who, under AB 962, will now be fingerprinted like common criminals simply for exercising their Second Amendment rights," continued Halcon. "It is silly, at best, to think criminals will stand in line to be fingerprinted to buy ammunition from licensed retailers. Governor Schwarzenegger has just created an underground black market for ammunition."

Foreign-policy analyst: U.S. concessions fail to bring meaningful pressure from Moscow
-----------------------------------------------
Does anyone really think that Russia is our friend?
Get ready for "Duck and Cover" all over again. . . .
President Obama has spent his first nine months in office going around the world apologizing for America and showing weakness to our enemies. He wants to slash our nuclear arsenal while the rest of the world ramps theirs up.
Obama has stated that America has “shown arrogance and been dismissive in the past" and prefers that our nation not be the world's sole superpower.
We have Iran threatening Israel, and along with North Korea they are testing long range missiles, and aggressively pursuing their nuclear programs. Does anyone have their eyes on China's military build-up?
Just last month Obama scrapped Bush's proposed antiballistic missile shield in Eastern Europe, and he has now been accused of betraying our allies and caving in to Russian pressure.
President Obama. . . This is "Change" our great Nation may not Survive
Makes you wonder how President Obama feels about his Nobel Peace Prize now. . . .He might actually have to earn it in the very near future, before there is a Nuclear Apocalypse occurring around the world. . . .

RINO Traitors. . . .
RINO's = Republican's in Name Only
RINO's to me are some of the worst traitors to Democracy in America.
We expect the Democrats to be. . . .well, like Democrats, but when the RINO's support Democratic Socialist Programs they are traitors to not only the Republican Party, but also to the American people. These RINO's even betrayed the Blue-Dog Democrats that were trying to hold back the passage of Obamacare.
This week the RINO a**holes are Olympia Snow (R-ME) when she supported the Finance Committee's version of Obamacare, and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who signed onto the cap-and-tax bill to partner with John Kerry (D-MA)
And of course, the biggest RINO of all is. . . .John McCain (R-AZ)
The Democrats didn't need any Republicans to pass Obamacare. . . . they just wanted it to be bipartisan . The Democrats can now stick it to the American people any way they please, and we will all just have to bend over and take it.
If these RINO's love the Democrats and their beliefs so much why don't they have the kahoonies to switch parties and stop the masquerade?
-----------------------------------------------------
According to David Karki: Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) has once again proven she is a Democrat by her flipping of sides on the most crucial bills. Thanks to her, we got a trillion dollars of Porkulus. And thanks to her, we’re now substantially closer to getting communist Obamacare.

Obamacare at the DMV?
You Will Get Health Insurance at DMV—Literally (It’s in the Bill)
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
By Terence P. Jeffrey
The most revelatory passage in the so-called “plain English” version of the health care bill that the Senate Finance Committee approved on Tuesday (without ever drafting the actual legislative language) says that in the future Americans will be offered the convenience of getting their health insurance at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
This is no joke. If this bill becomes law, it will be the duty of the U.S. secretary of health and human services or the state governments overseeing federally mandated health-insurance exchanges to ensure that you can get your health insurance at the DMV.
You also will be able to get it at Social Security offices, hospitals, schools and “other offices” the government will name later.

Jews Survived WWII by Living in a Cave. . . .
I thought this would be an inspiring story to share. . . .Survivors who beat the odds:
For almost two years, the Stermer family lived with several other Jews in underground caves in the Ukraine to avoid being captured by Nazis, a little-known yet incredible tale.
The Stermer family and several others spent 344 consecutive days living in what is known as Priest's Grotto, a "massive underground sanctuary," in the Ukraine during World War II, Brian Handwerk reported for National Geographic News in 2004. No serious illnesses or deaths occurred during that time, despite the cave dwellers' having "no special experience or equipment," Handwerk wrote.
The Stermer family's inspirational story might have stayed a secret if not for the efforts of Chris Nicola, a "veteran caver" who was part of a team that explored Priest's Grotto in 1993, according to the 2004 issue of National Geographic Adventure Magazine.
Nicola's book, "The Secret of Priest's Grotto," written with Peter Lane Taylor, was named one of the Best Books for Young Readers in 2007.

For almost two years, the Stermer family lived with several other Jews in underground caves in the Ukraine to avoid being captured by Nazis, a little-known yet incredible tale.
The Stermer family and several others spent 344 consecutive days living in what is known as Priest's Grotto, a "massive underground sanctuary," in the Ukraine during World War II, Brian Handwerk reported for National Geographic News in 2004. No serious illnesses or deaths occurred during that time, despite the cave dwellers' having "no special experience or equipment," Handwerk wrote.
Shulim Stermer, 84, recounted his experience from his home in Montreal in 2004. "The Germans took half the town to a concentration camp, and the rest had to go to a ghetto," he said. "That meant to the slaughter house." Rather than comply, his mother told Shulim's brother to find a place for the family to hide in the forest; he discovered the cave.
The Stermer family's inspirational story might have stayed a secret if not for the efforts of Chris Nicola, a "veteran caver" who was part of a team that explored Priest's Grotto in 1993, according to the 2004 issue of National Geographic Adventure Magazine.
The discovery of "two partially intact stone walls and other signs of habitation" within the Grotto piqued his team's interest. Locals told the team about a group of Ukrainian Jews that had lived in the caves, but whether there were any survivors remained a mystery. Nicola devoted the next decade of his life to figuring out the full story, until he finally "located six of the cave survivors, most of them members of the extended Stermer family."
In an interview with National Geographic Adventure, Nicola explained what made the cave dwellers' story so special. "The chance of a Jewish person surviving at all [in western Ukraine] was less than 5 percent. But what made this story different, and what is rarely seen in any Holocaust survival story, is how these families stayed virtually intact," Nicola is quoted as saying.
Nicola was also astounded by some of the artifacts found in the cave, particularly the millstone, which was too heavy for him to move. "Yet Nissel Stermer carried it on his back for three or four miles," Nicola explained. "That millstone was their life. They used it to grind grain to make bread, which was the main part of their diet."
Nicola's book, "The Secret of Priest's Grotto," written with Peter Lane Taylor, was named one of the Best Books for Young Readers in 2007.

Nobel Peace Prize for Nothing. . . .
According to nbcbayarea.com headline:
"Fidel Castro Praises Obama Nobel Win"
. . . .When a communist dictator praises our great leader this has to make the leftist in America really proud. . . . .

YO OBAMA, I'M GONNA LET YOU FINISH, BUT I JUST WANNA SAY THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING JR WAS THE BEST NOBEL PRIZE WINNER OF ALL TIME. . . .another spoof on Kayne West
--------------------------------------------------
"The secretive committee declined to say who nominated Obama. In Nobel tradition, nominations are kept secret for 50 years, unless those making the submissions go public about their picks.
. . .Wish they had kept the winner a secret this year
---------------------------------------------
Rush Limbaugh on the Nobel Prize:
"George Bush liberates 50 million Muslims. Ronald Reagan liberates hundreds of millions of Europeans, saves parts Latin America. Any awards? No. Just derision. Meanwhile, Obama gives speeches trashing his own country, and he gets a prize for it."
"Mr. President, you are totally at home with the likes of Jimmy Carter and Algore and Yasser Arafat and everybody else who's won the Nobel Prize. What a club! I would have refused the Nobel, by the way, had I won the award, because I wouldn't want to be in that club of thugs."

WTF! ! Obama Awarded Nobel Peace Prize?
Read the article below from jammiewearingfool.com:
"I guess this makes it official, Barack Obama is now the Jimmy Carter of this generation albeit with a better tan.
Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize, for what is still unclear since the nominations for this years awards were closed on the 1st of February which means the Messiah had a total of about 2 weeks in office and even now 9 months into his administration he has accomplished nothing.
I guess if I was Gen McChrystal I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on any more troops and Poland and the Ukraine better brush back up on their Russian. I think they are going to need it.
A helluva of way to get your morning started. I heard this right after I got up and was going to get ready for work.
Let's go ahead and give the Detroit Lions the Super Bowl trophy since they really do try hard, even if they don't accomplish much."

Who the Hell Won the War?
HIROSHIMA vs DETROIT - 64 YEARS LATER
Hiroshima 1945
We all know that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed in August, 1945 after the nuclear explosions of "Fat Man" and "Little Boy". These atomic bombs were dropped from US B-29 bombers to end WWII with Japan.
Detroit in the 1940's
However, we know little about the progress made by the people of that land during the past 64 years.
Hiroshima Today. . . .
DETROIT - 64 YEARS AFTER HIROSHIMA
Welcome to Detroit ....Drugs, Drive by Shootings, Corruption and an Unemployment rate of 15%+, etc.
It does make you wonder who the hell won the war?
"You know what's going on in Detroit? Detroit is going through their version of Hurricane Katrina without the levees breaking.". . . .Rush Limbaugh

Further Proof of the Need for Energy Independence
The British newspaper The Independent reported today that Gulf oil producers were negotiating with Russia, China, Japan and France to replace the dollar in pricing oil with a basket of currencies.[1] According to the Wall Street Journal, Arab oil officials have denied the story, but even the possibility of such a talk weakens the dollar and renews fears about its continued viability as an international reserve currency.[2] In fact, today a United Nations official called for a new global reserve currency to replace the dollar and end our “privilege” to run up huge deficits.[3] We can see the effect of this in the price of gold, which hit a record high today in response to fears about the weakened dollar.[4]
All of this is a result of our out-of-control debt. This is why we need to rein in spending, and this is also why we need energy independence. A weakened dollar means higher commodity prices. This will make it more difficult to pay our bills – including the bill to import oil.
In his book Architects of Ruin, Peter Schweizer points out that the Obama administration is focusing primarily on “green energy," while ignoring our need to develop our domestic conventional energy resources.[5] We’re ignoring the looming crisis caused by our dependence on foreign oil. Because we’re dependent on foreign nations for our oil, we’re also at their mercy if they decide to dump the dollar as their trade currency. We can’t allow ourselves to be so vulnerable to the whims of foreign nations. That’s why we must develop our own domestic supplies of oil and gas.
Though the chant of “Drill, baby, drill” was much derided, it expressed the need to confront this issue head-on before it reaches a crisis point.
Bottom line: let’s stop digging ourselves into debt and start drilling for energy independence.
