Pictured: Danish soldier passes out in royal line-up at gala dinner
By Mail Foreign Service / Daily Mail

For one soldier, the prospect of meeting royalty was obviously too overwhelming.

The royal guard fell flat on his face after fainting at the arrival ceremony of a gala dinner hosted by the Danish queen.

The soldier had been in a line-up awaiting the arrival of Princess Mary and politicians at the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen last night when he keeled over.

He was dragged to his feet by security officials who carried him off before the guests arrived.

Queen Margrethe and Prince Consort Henrik were hosting their annual party last night for members of the Danish Parliament, and the soldier was part of the evening's honour guard.

On My Mind: Communication, Humor and Music / Open Thread

Clear and Consise Communication

This past week Rush Limbaugh, after the SOTU reiterated what I was taught and what I teach my daughter; "Words have meaning". Everytime Rush says that I jump for joy thinking fondly of my parents and praying it sinks in to the millions of listeners to his show. Some if not many people miss the point of that statement sadly, thinking ; well, of course words have definition.

Single word definition alone is not what is meant here. Placing words together in a sentence be it verbal or printed they take on "meaning".

The reason of my concern here is that liberals (at least the leadership) know eaxctly what I speak of and utilize sweeping generalities attempting to fool an unsuspecting populus. We on the right must avoid sweeping generalities and be very clear and concise as to our use of the English language when warning of the lefts policies , our goals and even communicating with each other so as not to be divisive within our side of the debate.

Recently I was described as being both "rigid" and "exclusive". These to adjectives to those who know me personnally may be both true and false at the same time. I give this example to simply clarify the point.

By the "rigid" part, I am assuming (which I do not like to do) this person meant I was a Conservative idealogue, if so then that is true and I am more than pleased to agree. But outside of that context (politics) it is completely false. How can I, a  man who is happily married and be "rigid" at the same time? Sounds like divorce after 5 minutes of the nuptuals! So, both true and false.

Well of course being happily married rules out the "exclusivity" part as well for much the same reason. If I were in fact "exclusive", then why marry at all? Being married is by institution and practice is to be "inclusive". Then again, since I am married I suppose my wife is "exclusive" to me as I am "exclusive" to her. You see, both true and false at the same time again.

Words have meaning as does the context with which one utilizes, choose them wisely and not in sweeping generalities. In doing so, we also avoid misrepesentation and needless debate.

If anyone wishes to call me a Conservative then by all means do so, a waste of time though considering the title of this blog and my stances published within. Ponder this though, does anyone believe the writing of The Declaration of Independance , The Bill of Rights or the U.S. Constitution was an act of "rigidity" or that of "exclusivity"?

Those documents and their meaning are exactly what a Conservative lives by and defends, period. This is not "rigid" except maybe on the contraints (or did?) it places on the federal goverment and are also very "inclusive" so as to cover any and all citizens of our nation.

Humor

This subject goes right to the old saying; "One mans junk is another man's treasure". There is not one of us that has told a joke or relayed a story what we thought to be funny just to be lost on the recipient and thus producing no laughter.

The lack of laughter or appreciation of the humor is not a statement on the person delivering the joke/story, but rather the listener quite simply not seeing the humor in it.

If Johnny Carson took offense (publically) every time he did not get a laugh we would not know of his name to this day.

أنا عندي فكرة! ( I got an Idea ! )

Here we go again, with the same interviewer. B. Hussein with ,yes, former Slick Willy advisor-turned ABC faux news guy / partisan hack George Stephanopoulos,,,,

Flashback / reminder,,,,,

And my idea Mr. Hussein,,,,

باراك حسين أوباما سويتورو ، اتبع قلبك

 ( Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama, follow your heart )

انحني اجلالا واكبارا لمنطقة الشرق
( Bow to the East )

المسجد الأزرق في اسطنبول ، Turkeky
( Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkeky )

( You speak of transparency , so Barack Hussein Obama supply it. )

 ( You speak of the Arabic Call to Prayer is the most beautiful sound on Earth)

{Note for English speakers of the Judeo - Christian beliefs: the following is for effect only and in no way do I support the call to Satan. In addition, listening any longer than a couple of seconds will induce an extreme headache.}

[Warning : The headache is so extreme that you may want to blow something up.]

There is a mosque right there in Washington D.C., just stop denying.

Fantasies vs. Reality

Most fair-minded people who enjoy watching movies can discern between fiction and reality due to an education based on fact. Those same people also know of Hollwood's bias towards the left. So when Hollywood churns out a new product from its propaganda machine, those in the know can sit back (at times rolling our eyes) and still enjoy it anyhow.

It is the other people out there lacking the above knowledge yet seeing the same movie and taking away the message Hollywood and the left wants, usually how bad America is, that should deeply worry us all.

Most Conservatives have railed against rewritten history in public education for years and rightly so. But this deeply disturbing trend not only comes in the form of text books published in some non-descript building in the heart of San Francisco but also Hollywood itself. These "popular" films are presented and discussed all the time in classrooms and college campuses across the country. These "discussions are not limited to drama class (where it belongs) but in History and Government classrooms. And of course this is done purposely with the teacher or "professor" driving home the message of the film.

You can bet in this election year the Hollywood propaganda machine is well oiled and working 24/7 producing anti-American , pro-socialist/fascist themes well in time before November let alone the start of "schrool" in September.

Can you spot the difference? Will you re-educate your children so they can?


Exit thought inspired by the recent SOTU show. I have always loved the question; "Is it art imitating life or life imitating art?

Being one drawn to politics I have always enjoyed (with discerning eyes, ears and mind) Hollywood's various themes dealing with the U.S. presidency. One tag line stated by B. Hussein on Wednesday night and has been repeated ever since is "jobs bill". When I heard that line I immediately thought back to the movie "Dave" (1993) with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver.

All presidents' talk of "job creation" but this line "jobs bill" was clearly lifted (plagurized) from the titled movie above.
Clearly life imitating art.

JUST BOYCOTT THE SPEECH !

Why bother to watch or listen to what you already know will be proselytized by this socialist?

BOYCOTT THE SPEECH !!!

Give this person the absolute worst possible ratings since the invention of TV itself!

If one want's to send a message of disapproval, the best way is to ignore the one with which you disapprove.

You already know of his agenda. Most reading this knew of it back in 2007. There will be nothing new except for the words. You also know that all the media will cover it broadly in print,radio and TV be it broadcast or cable on THURSDAY. You will not 'miss' anything.

This is his first 'official' SOTU speech and being the state of our Union is anything closely resembling strong, what better way to show it by boycotting the 'show'.

Take the family out for dining or a movie. Rent a movie and order pizza. Gather the kids and spouse for some family time with maybe a board game. Use your imagination. Whatever you do, don't waste time with this as that is all it is, A BIG WASTE OF TIME.

Just imagine the headline in a day or two on say the 'Drudge Report' as to the less then lackluster ratings and that headline being trumpeted around the country and the world for that matter.

Take the message to his ego where it counts for him.

JUST BOYCOTT THE SPEECH !!

Fresh thought here, I offer this pleasent viewing as a Conservative rebutal and a smile.
Better message as well.

'Everything You've Heard' in Press on U.S. Interrogating Terrorists Is Wrong

Courting Disaster

How the CIA Kept America Safe and how Barack Obama is Inviting the Next Attack

"Marc Thiessen knows, in ways that few others do, just how effective, heroic, and morally justified were the interrogators who kept this nation safe after 9/11. If you want to know what really happened behind the scenes at the CIA interrogation sites or at Guantanamo Bay, you simply must read this book."

 —Dick Cheney

Courting Disaster reveals—as no other book has—just how close we've come to the next 9/11 and how enhanced interrogation techniques (including waterboarding) have saved us from numerous would-be terrorist attacks.Offering a behind-the-scenes look at the CIA's "black sites," the book also provides substantial evidence to prove the tactics used by the CIA were not only effective, but lawful and morally just.

Why Every Person Should Have Their Concealed Carry Permit.

This is very serious folks. Our economy is obviously in the dumper and is not going to get better in the near term. In any society, even in good and strong economies there is a such thing called crime. The people committing these crimes could care less about laws,they will kill you for $2.

If you doubt me you do so at your own peril.

Short story but true here; I had the opportunity, pleasure and honor of becoming a friend (1983) in the real sense of a retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major who actually was a survivor of the Baton Death March. Yes, you read that correctly, a SURVIVOR, there were not many be they American, British or Australian.

Well when I met Sgt. Maj. Joe he was advancded in age but still the valiant soldier, God Loving man and one helluva billiards player. One day, mind you one day on his own front porch Joe did not have his side arm (pistol) and was summarily murdered for $2.30 and his Hostess Twinkie, really , the Twinkie too.

This honored Veteran (and believe me he was,wall of medals. My dad (Mst. Sgt)  and Joe got along famously). Joe had survived what was the most gruesome Japanese slavery really where one was expected to die yet to be murdered on the front porch of his own home.

We are now into 2010 and with two big strikes against socialism in just one month in, you can be damn sure things besides the weather will heat up this summer. There are those who wish nothing but ill will and to steal from those who have. And altough DHS  warns against 'right-wing' groups, I contend it is just the opposite before the report and now most definately after this month.

I am not talking about "global warming","health care" or any one program.. Those old enough can remembe ther riots across America in and around 1968 and we were not even close to finacial disaster then. I was but a tiny child at that time, but now am an adult and fully armed and will not put up with it To those in the know it is called "Locked and Loaded".

 I mention the riots in 1968 as they had to do with 'Civil Rights',,Guess what,,same issue in 2010.

It is, as an American, a right to bear arms and I suggest you do so if not already armed. You and your families lives depend on it. Do it legally and safely, but just do it.

Listen, Really Listen to Gibbs (UPDATE: WSJ)

Just to give a taste, if you had not yet caught this, Robert Gibbs on Fox News Sunday w/Chris Wallace;

@ the 00:40 mark: "I hope YOU'LL ask Sen. Coryn" (The White House is used to telling the media)

@ the 00:48 mark: "Stability" (What stability?)

@ the 1:12 mark "Support Bernanke for a second term" (If this administration always say 'Lets not continue what has not worked', then why do it?)

@ the 1:2 mark "Anger about the direction of our country" (True, but the anger is at his boss)

@ the 1:28 mark "The American people lending their money" (NO WE DID NOT, Bush and Obama and a compliant congress did)

@ the 1;34 mark " 'We' have taken extrordinary steps,,,'important to take the next steps' (Ummm NO, no more "porkulus". tax cuts to business and to people is the answer.

You get the point, you have to get past the double-speak to understand the agenda. If you have not seen this segment please do and analize Gibbs answers. If you did catch it, look at it again with wide-open ears.

Chris Wallace should have taken the whole hour considering the White House open war against Fox but he remained a gentleman.

Either way it is very telling as to their agenda - not giving up.

Do not stop in fighting this administratio or congress! This fight is far from over.

Have coffee or some alcholoic beverage on hand as either may be needed.

As I stated in HIGHLITE above;

White House Toughens Tone


Amid Concern About Midterms, Obama Boosts Staff and Emphasizes Jobs

WASHINGTON—Coming off one of the most difficult weeks of his presidency, Barack Obama has beefed up his political staff and is expected to deliver an uncompromising State of the Union address. Aides said Sunday that the White House wasn't making any abrupt policy shifts, even as the message was retooled to focus more sharply on job creation.


If anything, an unfinished agenda from 2009 will grow larger as, in addition to tackling health care and unemployment, the president presses for a bipartisan commission to tackle the budget deficit against resistance from Republicans.


White House officials said Obama campaign manager David Plouffe will be brought on as a political consultant as the White House gears up for the midterm elections. The president's party is facing a stiff headwind from an electorate angry about high unemployment and what they see as ineffectual government, White House officials say. Republican Scott Brown's victory for the Massachusetts Senate seat Tuesday was a first shot in what Democrats worry will be hard-fought contests in November.,,,,,,,,,

Half a World Away - Same Problems

It would seem as though Israel is facing the same issue on migrant workers as the United States and is poised to actually do something about it.

In this relatively short article I could not help but see the exact same reasons why we in the United States should follow Israels lead on this issue.

God knows they are better at controlling their borders as well.

   Government presents plan to limit migrant workers in Israel

By Dana Weiler-Polak, Haaretz Correspondent

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz on Sunday presented a plan to limit the number of migrant workers permitted in Israel, saying the move would open up 30,000 to 50,000 jobs in the Israeli market within a year.

The plan was presented after the government on Sunday approved a decision to impose harsher penalties on Israelis who employ or transport migrant workers.


He added that these problems prevent the government from caring for its own impoverished citizens, who Netanyahu said must enter the job market in order to improve their standard of living.  

"The massive entry of migrant workers into Israel in recent years has created problems with security, drugs and, mainly, in the job market and decreased wages," said Netanyahu.

"The migrant workers are a weight that push salaries lower. We are talking about damage to our society and an additional aspect of Israel as a Jewish state," said Netanyahu.

The prime minister and Steinitz stressed that the new plan does not resolve the issue of the status of migrant workers' children, many of whom were born in Israel but face deportation, or the issue of refugees who come to Israel seeking asylum.

Does anything in this remind you of our porous border with Mexico be it security,crime, drugs / drug gangs and being the economy the way it is,,,JOBS?

Whether or not it is him, the new claim by Bin Laden to keep up the attacks on the U.S. is even more reason to seal up our wide open border with Mexico and revise rules for migrant workers with severe scrutiny.

Saturday Music - CP Style Jukebox

My gosh I am still in a great mood after this week!

Politically speaking; Great start to 2010! Domestically speaking; My Wife, Daughter and myself with God's Graces are in good health and my Daughter is doing FANTASTIC in school! Canine speaking; My two dogs, although one advanced in age and the other just recently turned two years, remain at our sides as faithful members of our family and a joy to have as companions on those days when you think humanity is lost. I cannot complete my good mood without mentioning that I remain one American that is working and continue my quest to see government change so as to make it business friendly, thereby making it possible to get more Americans working again.

I have included three out of hundreds of my favorites in the Country Music genre and I hope you'all enjoy!

.

The first two I dedicate to each and all of the Female bloggers / readers of Conservative Perspective.

After all,Where would men be without women ? Answer - nonexsistent.

 (No worries fellas, you will like these selections as well - Sara Evans)

The third, as well as being an oldie but a goodie (at least to me), I post this particular song to honor and respect fellow blogger Jadedfellow for reasons that should be obvious to him and his readers.

(Both volume and dancing are strongly recommended)





Here you go Jadedfellow, not a redneck but ,,,,,,,,,,,,,



Final thought, we here in the Detroit,MI area have an event that is an annual 3-day event called 'The Downtown Hoedown" featuring National and local Country Music artist's and billed as the largest outdoor Country Music Fest in America. It is usually staged right around Mothers day weekend and encourage all that can to visit and enjoy.

This year it may well turn into an imprompto Tea Party? What do 'ya think Michiganians?

Well it's Friday and after a great week for Conservatives (MA and the Supreme Court) I wanted to share a smile and a laugh.

I do not know exactly where this video originated but hearing it was posted on the Huffy Post. If so, it would show that at least one democrat has a sense of humor.



Have a Great Weekend All !

Rep. Mike Pence - Part II (UPDATED)

Very, very rarely do I watch msnbc as it is usually boorishly predictable but this caught my attention for obvious reasons considering my last posting.

I thought it interesting that they chose to interview Rep. Mike Pence the day after Sen. Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts. Could it be that Michelle Malkins article prompted msnbc to request an interview with Rep. Pence? Who knows, but I digress.

I was not familiar with the interviewer, Dylan Ratigan, as this is the first time I have seen or heard of him. However, I find his opening and closing statements to the segment, as well as his questions to and answers from Mike Pence to be of pretty fair quality for msnbc (surprisingly for msnbc I might add).

I have one exception to the aforementioned "fair quality" description which I delve into below the fold.

The one fault (and it's a big one) with Mr. Ratigan's discourse was one that stuck out like a sore thumb to at least this blogger.

He is correct to speak out about monopolies but in doing so he fails (or deliberately fails) to see that, that is exactly what the liberals want the government to be - a monopoly over every aspect of our lives or better described, socialism.

In just a year we have seen the goal liberals have of a government monopoly in health care, banking, energy, private industry, home mortgages,,,, etc.

Just recently, B. Hussein is making a grab at nationalizing student loans(http://cnsnews.com/news/article/60074) thereby not only controlling higher education but also enslaving college graduates with debt payable directly to the federal government!

Just what part of monopoly does he not understand? Or could it be that Mr. Ratigan only sees the government as the only participant in that enterprise?

Upon further homework on Ratigan I came to understand him better from some of his resume that includes;

Ratigan has also worked as a contributor to ABC News and has published articles in newspapers and magazines including the New York Times, Washington Post, Miami Herald and the Chicago Tribune. He began his career at The Portsmouth Herald in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/15837985

And of course cnbc and msnbc obviously share the same parent company - GE for the moment.

Oh well, msnbc at least tried this time to mask their agenda. Normally it is the in-your-face, combative, racist, elitist and as stated "predictable" variety of liberalism.

UPDATE 1/21/2010 - The man is consistent.

Mike Pence 2010 and 2012 !

Thanks to attentive reader John for pointing this article out!

I have been advocating this and am glad to see Michelle Malkin on board,,,,,

Run, Mike Pence, run!

By Michelle Malkin • January 20, 2010 11:44 AM

I want this to happen, don’t you?

Don’t worry about the support of the NRSC or Beltway Republicans. The money will come, Rep. Pence — from grass-roots conservatives across the country who have appreciated your stalwart, unwavering, unapologetic, explicit, and proven commitment to the Constitution and conservative principles.

Go for it:

In the wake of winning MA, GOPers are looking to put 1 more state in play if they can convince House GOP Conference chair Mike Pence to run against Sen. Evan Bayh (R-IN).


Pence and his aides will meet with top staffers at the NRSC tomorrow, several sources tell Hotline OnCall, where they will discuss a possible bid. The NRSC has polled IN, and their survey shows Pence in a competitive position, though he trails Bayh in initial matchups.


GOPers have failed to recruit a top-tier challenger against the popular 2-term incumbent, thanks largely to Bayh’s bankroll. He had $12.7M in the bank as of Sept. 30, and GOPers expect he would be able to raise many more millions before Election Day.


But Pence has a base, especially as the number 3 GOPer in the House, and top Senate strategists believe he would be able to raise the money to compete with Bayh. He also has the national ambition, and Senate strategists plan to point out those ambitions are difficult to achieve without a Senate seat.


Yet Pence’s team is acutely aware of the financial challenge such a race would pose, and he had just $462K CoH at the end of the 3rd quarter. Pence’s decision will rest heavily on whether the NRSC would make a financial commitment to help make up the early difference, a source close to Pence said. The source also said Pence is unlikely to turn down the offer soon, indicating he is taking the notion seriously.

Obama Foriegn Policy Solved

Mr. Obama,

You wish to shut down GITMO due to U.N. and E.U. objections and you are past your own deadline on this.

Concurrently,with your goal in helping Haiti after the recent Earthquake, you are now being criticized by the E.U., namely France and also Venezuela for staging a military occupation there.

Seems as though you cannot satisfy your socialist friends across the pond or in our own hemisphere.

I have a thought or two on this subject. Why not send the remaining 'overseas operatives' still held at GITMO to a country stricken by a real 'man-made disaster', Haiti, before the Earthquake occurred (which is a; take note Danny Glover 'natural disaster') , since 'overseas operatives' are used to 'man-made disasters'.

Then, as the saying goes "The squeaky wheel gets the oil", have the French take charge of both the relief efforts for the Haitians and the 'overseas operatives' overseen by the U.N. of course.

This would please the French, the 'overseas operatives' and the U.N. as well. The U.N. was doing such a great job there BEFORE the Earthquake right? Plus their light blue helmets would be a sight for sore eyes to the 'overseas operatives'.

Now of course when this happens your little socialist friend Hugo Chavez in Venezuela will adjust his agenda so as to accommodate his new 'overseas operative' neighbors. Hugo will be more than happy to help set-up some 'overseas operative' training camps right there in Haiti to provide jobs and  to be closer to our mainland.

I am sure little Hugo will be quick to call his buddy Ahmedinejad in Iran to tell him of the great news and offer him a tour. Maybe even offer Ahmedinejad a spot on Haiti for launching some missiles at us?

Don't worry (as though you would?), the U.N., E.U. and France will not hamper these going's on as they also do not want to violate the 'overseas operatives' less than human rights and definitely not those of Comrade Chavez or Ahmedinejad.

Bingo! GITMO closed, the World is happy, Haiti is saved and the U.S. is even less safer thus leaving your foreign policy complete!

Now you are free to continue the rest of your destructive socialist domestic agenda AGAINST the U.S. albeit with a new kink in the chain by the name of Senator Scott Brown, (R-MA).

THANK YOU MASSACHUSETTS !

THANK YOU MASSACHUSETTS ! 

SCOTT BROWN WINS !

2010 POLITICAL TSUNAMI IS UNDERWAY !!!!!!!

Post-Racial Era of 'The One' ?

Out of respect for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the man, I delayed this post by a few hours but it is relevent to what he promoted , racial harmony, in that one could be judged on the content of character and not the color of their skin.

Fast forward to 2008 and what some saw as a post-racial era with the election of Barack Obama as the first black President of The United States of America. This election, if anything can clearly be stated about it, was indeed an historical moment for our Nation. Post-racial though? 

I present two recent examples here, one extreme and one soft, both perpetuating racism and how this behavoir cannot achieve racial harmony hence preventing an America that can ever be described as post-racial.  

                  

                     ‘Red-Neck Republicans’ Out To Get Them, New Black Panther Says

 By Ryan J. Reilly  January 13, 2010

(Excerpted)

New Black Panther Party president Malik Zulu Shabazz hasn’t said much publicly about the Obama Justice Department’s dismissal last May of voter intimidation charges against his black power group, a decision that sparked conservative protests.

But last week in a podcast interview, Shabazz let loose – with a racially tinged rant against the Republicans he said are trying to turn the issue into campaign ads for this fall’s midterm elections.

“These right-wing white, red-faced, red-neck Republicans are attacking the hell out of the New Black Panther Party, and we’re organizing now to fight back,” Shabazz told the podcast host, a man who calls himself “Brother Gary” and hosts a show called Conscious Chats on Blogtalk Radio.,,,,,,,

,,,,“Old Uncle Tom, Michael Steele, the black Negro who heads the Republican National Committee.”,,,

,,,“We gearing up for a showdown with this cracker,” Shabazz said, although it wasn’t clear to whom he was referring. “He keep talking – we going to Capitol Hill, we’re just gearing up right now, we’ll go to Capitol Hill.”,,,,

,,,,,One of the members of the party in Philadelphia, he added, “just happened to be a little too black or too strong” and “made a mistake” by bringing a weapon to the polls.

{Source and full article:  http://www.mainjustice.com/ }

Obviously that was the example of the extreme and the only thing I can say is that this is the nice side of this group. Well I might also mention to remember the issue Mr.Shabazz is referencing here ; Voter intimidation. This activitiy is in fact illegal and is not a 'conservative issue' but rather a Constitutional one, hence the protests which all Americans should have joined no matter party affiliation or skin color.

Next up the softer almost subliminal type. Here we have Don Imus (of all people) having an interview on Fox Business with Debra Dickerson about a recent poll delving into the issue of race relations. Dickerson is the author of 'The End of Blackness' of which her publisher Random House includes in its own description;

",,, she challenges black Americans to stop obsessing about racism and start focusing on problems they can fix."

This is a most admirable goal as it is for all races and one we should all embrace so as to move our Nation forward.

With that in mind, please listen all the way to the end of the following clip and see if Ms. Dickerson needs to practice a bit more on what she preaches especially in the areas of laying blame and false accusations pertaining to race.

 

If Ms. Dickerson wishes to challenge "black Americans to stop obsessing about racism" then I contend that she start leading by example. To blame general and growing discontent with Obama based on skin color instead of where it belongs, his policies and actions, is not only ridiculous but also racist in of itself. Then she wishes to pass blame for Harry Reids racist remarks onto Rush Limbaugh. This to was not only ridiculous but in effect gives racism a pass and the real racist not held to account.

How are we as a society in general to attack any subject honestly if we are not honest with ourselves in the first place? Let alone hold the real perpatrators of racism to account whatever their color of skin, position in public office or size of the soap-box from which they stand.

With President Barack Obama basically kicking this national conversation off with his ill-informed and dare say racist comment about the Cambridge police officer(s), AG Eric Holders inaction as to the Black Panthers and A.C.O.R.N. coupled with the opinions above from Ms. Dickerson and Mr. Shabazz, is it any wonder that the poll results cited in the interview turned out to be so?

If we as a Nation wish to honestly and finally try to get past this issue then all of us must confront it honestly and hold those who perpetuate racism to be held accountable, this includes some prominent white people as well including but not limited to; Former U.S. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and current U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

         After Obama Rally, Dems Pin Blame On Bush


             January 17, 2010 6:16 PM
             By Felicia Sonmez

As audience members streamed out of Pres. Obama's rally on behalf of AG Martha Coakley (D) here tonight, the consensus was that the fault for Coakley's now-floundering MA SEN bid lies with one person -- George W. Bush.


"People are upset because there's so many problems," Rosemary Kverek, 70, a retired Charleston schoolteacher said as tonight's rally wrapped up. "But the problems came from the previous administration. So we're blaming poor Obama, who's working 36 hours a day ... to solve these problems that he inherited."

Many Americans, legal gun owners and bloggers including Conservative Perspective were justifiably alarmed with reports of B. Husseins recent Executive Order concerning Interpol. This will help to put those concerns to rest but only on that issue alone.

Hold On To Your Wallets and Sovereignty

U.N.'s World Health Organization Eyeing Global Tax on Banking, Internet Activity

The World Health Organization (WHO) is considering a plan to ask governments to impose a global consumer tax on such things as Internet activity or everyday financial transactions like paying bills online.

Such a scheme could raise "tens of billions of dollars" on behalf of the United Nations' public health arm from a broad base of consumers, which would then be used to transfer drug-making research, development and manufacturing capabilities, among other things, to the developing world.

So here in the U.S. in real time our current government (behind closed doors) is completing a plan for the take-over of OUR health care system with plenty of tax schemes to pay for it. If in fact this bill goes on to be signed into law it will in effect bring medical R & D (Research & Development) and innovation to a halt as it has done in Canada, Britain and elsewhere in Western Civilization.

It is a well known fact that most medical advances be they procedures, pharmaceuticals or equipment have emanated from the United States of America due to unhindered innovation provided by free-market capitalism. I find it very hard to believe that this fact escapes the socialists ironing out their scheme on Capitol Hill.

So what then could be their (socialist's) goal? Considering that facts stated above, health care is not the intended purpose. Most clear-minded Americans see control of the population as the intended goal.

Enter the U.N. and the W.H.O.

The article points to a global tax to support "transfer drug-making research, development and manufacturing capabilities, among other things, to the developing world ".

If in fact the U.N.'s W.H.O. were so concerned about third-world health they would lobby the U.S. government AGAINST the current bill and instead promote our current system and lobby for help in access to and distribution of American innovation.

To give an example of the W.H.O.'s standard of concern; Just recently the W.H.O. relented (although very, very little) on the use of DDT against Malaria basically saying "limited use indoors was acceptable". This came soberingly late and extremely short of lifting the world-wide ban on DDT after 3,000,000,000 DEATHS in the third-world due to Malaria.

Put together with simple information that is widely available one can only conclude this is about control and not the stated claims of health care, here or abroad. Does the W.H.O. honestly expect the Mayo Clinic for instance to set-up shop in Zimbabwe, Uganda or even Haiti? I think not.

The purest way to gain control over personal liberty is to gain control over their personal finances - taxation.

2010 Blowback Beginning, in Nebraska

We should all by now be aware of the groundswell movement in Massachusetts and pray it gains and holds to put Scott Brown in the Senate. But as Politico is reporting,  Americans in the heartland are stepping up to the plate, Nebraskans are getting their voice in the game as well,,,,,



Ben Nelson tries to repair damage at home

Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson and his wife were leaving dinner at a new pizza joint near their home in Omaha one night last week when a patron began complaining about Nelson’s decisive vote in favor of the Senate’s health care bill.

Other customers started booing. A woman yelled, “Get him the hell out of here!” And the Nelsons and their dining companions beat a hasty retreat.

“It was definitely a scene in there,” said Tom Lewis, a 41-year-old dentist and registered Republican who witnessed the incident. A second witness confirmed the incident to POLITICO.

It’s a new experience for Nelson.,,,,,,,

What a telling line; "It’s a new experience for Nelson". According to the article Nelson has enjoyed some popularity in the recent past until of course he not only sold-out residents of the Great State of Nebraska but those of us in the other 49 States (56 if you go by B. Husseins count?)

I suspect these "new" and rather refreshing attitudes; “Get him the hell out of here!” are not exclusive to Nebraska but just the exact opposite.

The lame-stream media will of course downplay (if reported at all) any and all real American voices up until the night of November 2, 2010, when exit polling cannot be ignored and their infamous American maps turn not blue nor purple but a SOLID RED.

Well maybe not "solid" but we will most definately see a major change from blue to red, being enough to regain a majority in both chambers of congress and put a stop to socialism.

But man oh man does that map look great or what ! Looks like a Ronald Reagan election night(s) map !

And now a word from, well us, WE THE PEOPLE !
