FW: I AM HONORED TO DO THIS

  I AM HONORED TO DO THIS
 

         The first picture and the last picture is taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the pier.  There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan .  The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends.  They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend.  Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it.  Every cross has the name, rank and D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it.
 Very moving, very powerful!


       
Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed?


and another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They're making great progress.  The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention JESUS' name in prayer thanks to the ACLU.
I'm not breaking this one.
If I get it a 1000 times, I'll forward it a 1000 times!
Please, let us pray...


Prayer chain for our Military ... Don't break it!
Please send this on after a short prayer.
Prayer for our soldiers
Don't break it!



Prayer:


'Heavenly Father, hold our troops in Your loving hands Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in this our time of need.   These things I humbly ask in the name of JESUS CHRIST our LORD and SAVIOR,  Amen.'


Prayer Request:  
When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.


There is nothing attached. Just send this to people in your address book.  Do not let it stop with you.  Of all the gifts you could give a Sailor, Soldier, Marine, Airman, & others deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best one.
Pray for the United States of America !

GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!

Obama Won’t Run…His Work Is Done




 
 
 
Obama Won't Run…His Work Is Done
Joan Swirsky, Canada Free Press.com
 

imageThe drivel the media are blathering about Obama's 2012 race for reelection is absolute baloney! All those talking heads and print [so-called] journalists should be ashamed of themselves for prattling on about this unserious subject while studiously avoiding the urgent issues that threaten the very life of our country.

These are issues that a maniacal Nancy Pelosi, as House Minority Leader in the lame-duck session, is intent on cramming down the already-gagging throats of American voters who loathe her fetish with Marxism so much that on November 2 they decisively returned the House she had appropriated back to We the People. As columnist Ralph R. Reiland writes, it was "...the greatest defeat for a newly elected president in a midterm since…1922."

Make no mistake about it, when the Obama-Pelosi-Reid-orchestrated disasters listed below take place, this triumvirate will applaud them, as any disaster that befalls our country fits neatly into their vision of Big Bad America. Yes, the very same America that brought them to the pinnacle of prominence, wealth, and power is the country they're working overtime to destroy.

Here is just a sampling of what's in store:

  • A second Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac implosion, this one immeasurably worse than the last in terms of human suffering and billions lost.
  • Galloping inflation and hyperinflation that will inevitably result from the Fed's rash rush to print what amounts to $600-billion-dollars worth of essentially worthless Monopoly money.
  • Acts that cede control of agriculture to the international community and give control over our waterways and land to the federal government, both eerily reminiscent of Communist Russia and China.
  • Intention to reduce the number of our nuclear weapons to zero, the goal of which is to make the strongest nation on earth both weak and defenseless.
  • Continuing to undermine our military by enacting plans, verbalized by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, to cut back military pay and reduce the cost of military health care.
  • Bringing a stealth Amnesty DREAM Act to grant young illegal aliens citizenship, as well as intensifying the attack on Arizona for following established federal law in going after illegal—and often drug-trafficking and murderous—aliens.
  • Continuing to bully our reliable Middle East ally Israel and, worse, as Carolyn Glick points out, supplying her enemies with the means to destroy the Jewish state. According to the Congressional Research Service, the Palestinian Authority—under the de facto control of Hamas terrorists—is the largest recipient of foreign assistance in the world, having received $1.2 billion in 2009 and due to receive $1.8 billion by the end of this year.
  • Actively encouraging the legal, political and military path to Islamic law—Sharia—in the United States, which Peter Wallsten and Sudeep Reddy of the Wall St. Journal call "the preeminent totalitarian threat of our time." Sharia law affects every aspect of human behavior, from diet to worship, and includes the stoning deaths of female rape victims for marital infidelity, honor killings, genital mutilation, et al. (Read the entire riveting article by Nonie Darwish).
  • Continuing the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) egregiously-intrusive body-search-and-x-ray policy to insure a drastic reduction in passengers and the ultimate destruction of the airline industry, the better to nationalize yet another market-driven industry.
  • Placing in serious jeopardy the future of offshore drilling, further damaging the Gulf's economy, and threatening the jobs of more than 100,000 workers.
  • Enacting S-510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, which would effectively grant the U.S. government authority over the public's right to grow, trade and transport foods and arrest and imprison people who so much as plant tomatoes in their backyards!
  • And don't count out an amendment to our Constitution about what author Paul Sperry calls "Obama's Stealth Reparations." Sperry quotes Obama as saying that more needs to be done to "cleanse America of its original sin."

According to TheDailyCaller.com, to accomplish this draconian agenda, John Podesta, head of the Center for American Progress—which is funded by George Soros—issued a report in which he suggested to the "president" that he use federal agencies and executive branch power to circumvent Congressional approval, as well as rulemaking, and even the armed forces "to accomplish important change," and that such means "should not be underestimated."

The Armed Forces? Is Podesta mistaking America for Nazi Germany? This is nothing less than horrifying, but, I must add, vintage Leftism!

In other words: "Damn the torpedoes (in this case, the Congress)—full speed ahead." The hell with the November 2nd vote, the will of the people, the U.S. Constitution, and the law! They've meant nothing for the past two years…and to the Obama regime, they still mean nothing!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

After the midterm shellacking and a decidedly less-than-successful Asian tour, Obama has been featured in tabloid headlines around the world, all saying that he's having a "nervous breakdown." Even Sean Hannity said on his radio show that, "The feeling among some people in the White House is that this president is unhinged, that he's detached, that he's losing it. He's obsessed with critics, very specifically obsessed with Fox News. He can't stand Biden, he hates the Clintons, and the Clintons hate him. If the president is brought bad news on the economy, he has a meltdown every time he hears it. And this is what people—and I'm telling you my sources are reliable—are telling me."

I don't buy it. Many people, including me, have written about Obama's pathological narcissism, his out-sized self-regard, and an insecurity that impels him to use a teleprompter to speak to a kindergarten class! And now we see that he is psychologically unable to acknowledge any accountability for the massive midterm losses.

But this kind of loss makes people like Obama angry, which will fuel and energize his lame-duck efforts.

While the Obama-Pelosi-Reid destruction is taking place, the perpetrators will be exulting. Although they tout "equality" for the masses, meaning widespread mediocrity, they—like the communist oligarchs they admire—never tire of indulging in crass materialism, non-stop partying, and decadent excesses.

All of which brings me to the conviction that Obama will never run for a second term, for the following reasons:

  1. He doesn't like the job. Above all, he doesn't like the all-important decision-making part of his job, just as his serial "Present" votes as a state legislator and U.S. Senator demonstrated a distaste for or inability to make decisions, with the notable exception of his full support for late-term abortions. His wishy-washy indecisiveness in the White House can be seen in the endless months it took him to decide on an Iraq and Afghanistan strategy and in his failure to take any significant action at all regarding the BP oil spill that put thousands out of work and ruined entire Gulf Coast industries.
  2. He's not very good at the job. While wielding immense power from a Democrat-controlled House, Senate and White House, as well as over-40 czars unaccountable to Congress or the American people, Obama has actualized very few of his initiatives, and monstrosities like Obamacare were successful only through the time-honored Soviet tactics of threats, bribes and intimidation. In foreign affairs, the man who said he'd "restore respect" around the world saw his proposals rejected and repudiated by 19 world leaders at the G-20 this month; the Middle East "peace" fiasco is in a hopeless boondoggle; our traditional allies seem neither to trust nor respect Obama; and our enemies, sensing a weak man at America's helm, have become brazen in their saber-rattling.
  3. His work is done. As anyone with eyes and ears instinctively knows, Obama is a plant, an unsavory amalgam of a Trojan Horse and a Manchurian Candidate, the former ferreting a destroy-America agenda into our body politic, and the latter robotically delivering dulcet-toned platitudes and untruths to a public that, thank God, is no longer buying his snake-oil.

Looking back over Obama's nearly two years in office, it should be obvious to everyone that as things got worse and worse—the tanking economy, escalating unemployment rate, the BP oil spill disaster, even the recent slap-down at the G-20—he never lost the bounce in his step, his broad smile, his appetite for golfing (or vacationing, in general), or his predilection to entertain lavishly three or four times a week.

This is because for DNA Leftists like Obama, two things are immutably true. The first is that if it's bad for America, it's intrinsically good! Remember Obama's strange interview with Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes," in which Kroft was so startled (horrified? appalled?) when Obama inappropriately smiled and chuckled when discussing the plunging economy, forcing Kroft to ask: "Are you punch drunk?" But Obama couldn't help himself… it made him happy!

The second is that everything done to further THE PLAN is good, meaning the plan to destroy free-market capitalism, subvert the Constitution, bloat the size of government, raise taxes, coddle terrorists, indiscriminately open America's borders, genuflect to the backwater tyrants at the U.N., and generally strip America of its exceptionalism.

No, Obama won't run in 2012, although he'll be coy about it for at least a year. He has no taste for compromise and his over-weaning narcissism won't allow him to be the head of a devolving minority party. Besides, I think his handlers are not pleased with the thwacking he took in the midterms, and will be looking hard for another puppet. In fact, George Soros, Obama's premier benefactor and perhaps even the puppet master pulling his strings, just told a group of Progressives: "We have just lost this Election, we need to draw a line. And if this president can't do what we need, it is time to start looking somewhere else."

Instead of running, Obama will become a man of the world, traveling widely (no doubt to his favorite dictatorships), maybe allowing a few ghost-written books to bear his name, accepting the multi-millions offered him for speaking engagements, and working on his golf swing for the next 50 years.

Now wouldn't that be fantastic for America!

DemonRats in the Senate Turn on Obama

DemonRats in the Senate Turn on Obama

doctorbulldog | 19 November, 2010 at 10:08 am | Categories: politics | URL: http://wp.me/p1NPg-6JT

This is where it gets tricky.

Obviously, the DemonRats are in serious trouble come 2012.  So, they will do whatever it takes to increase their voter base via legislation.

Beware the so-called, "Dream Act."  It is simply amnesty for illegals in order to increase the voter base for the DemonRats.  I expect much more such legislation in the near future as the DemonRats fight for their political lives:

 

Senate Democrats vent anger with Barack Obama
By GLENN THRUSH & MANU RAJU | 11/19/10 | Politico

Senate Democrats – including typically mild-mannered Bill Nelson of Florida – lit into President Barack Obama during an unusually tense air-clearing caucus session on Thursday, senators and staffers told POLITICO.

Nelson told colleagues Obama's unpopularity has become a serious liability for Democrats in his state and blamed the president for creating a toxic political environment for Democrats nationwide, according to two Democrats familiar with his remarks.

"It was a raucous caucus," said one Democratic senator, who spoke on condition of anonymity because closed-door sessions are not supposed to be discussed with outsiders.

Nelson declined to respond when asked about the incident Thursday night, saying he was in a hurry to leave the Capitol to catch a flight. His spokesman didn't return a request for comment.

In interviews after the marathon three hour meeting, several senators and senior aides told POLITICO that Nelson was just one of several senators to express anger at White House missteps – and air deep concerns about their own political fates if Obama and the Democratic Party leadership can't turn things around by 2012.

Added one veteran senator: "It was the most frank exchange of views I've ever seen."

Several senators expressed the opinion that Obama needed to show more passion, while party liberals renewed their complaint that Obama should abandon the pretense of bipartisanship in the face of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's intransigence and what they consider the Kentucky Republican's blatantly political tactics aimed at making Obama a one-term president.

Others said Democratic leaders need to clearly spell out what they believe are the motivations behind the Republicans' positions: that they are beholden to special interests, who bankroll their campaigns.

If Democrats keep losing the message war, they worry, they will be wiped out in 2012.

"There was a lot of passion in that room," one senator said. "The reason is because the public is with us on our policies, but they're not getting the message."

LOL!  What an uber-marooni!  The public is definitely NOT behind their communist policies!  It is the DemonRats, through their arrogance and ideological blinders, who are not getting the message!  Nor will they EVER get the message unless they are voted out of office!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders had met with Obama at the White House earlier in the day, calmly presided over the gripe session, sources say, allowing members to have their say.
[...]

With 21 Democrats and two independents facing reelection in 2012, Reid and the White House will be forced to deal with skittish Democrats eager to see a sharpened political operation.

Re: Sarah Palin’s Alaska inspires other politicians to pitch their own reality TV shows

Sarah is not a politician. She might want to be one again, but after
quitting her last gig, I don't think so.

Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition

Re: ROCKEFELLER: do away with MSNBC and FOX

the FCC does not govern cable television broadcasts!
-----------------------------

Odd how humble hoi poloi like you and I know that, but a US Senator
doesn't.

This was no hot mic incident or his gabbing with buddies over beers
and a football game, or even some magazine interview. He said this to
a Senate Committee.

One last Time............ KIDS ARE OFF LIMITS IN THIS FORUM.


There are NO second chances. /Annointed One


I've only known Merc on the boards for about one year....
Point is, her child is the one who is (however it is prioperly
put).... disabled... not anyone else's child.  I truly believe that
Merc has and conntinues to lash out at others (incluing their
children) because those others have lashed out at her own child (of
course, Merc sometimes gets confused in her emotional outbursts and
happens to target innocent bystanders, but she "usually" corrects
herself when she is made aware of the error) .... Merc is the victim,
and anyone seeking to make her the "perpetrator" is just very ignorant
or is trying to pull some sort of "reverse-discrimination"
scam....You. Annointed One speak of yourself as being a liberal-
progressive sort of person and here you champiion the interestes of
"children'... If that is true,  I definitely think that you missed the
boat in using that "angle" to censure Merc....As I understand it, Merc
is also trained to somne extent in medicine, I believe that she is a
registered nurse of some kind... So, in terms of medical knowledge or
even psychological stability.... I think she has a leg up on most
others here abouts....
There's reality and then there's what "posters" spew out to make
points in arguments [on [political bioards and such.].. Merc is living
a reality, when it comes to at least this one issue.....Cheap shots
just do not carry the same eight... or they shouldn't... among "half-
way serious folks" who try to deal in  mutually respectful
relationships.... of course... if people just want to sling the crap
around... tha'ts alright, too, as long as it's understood for the crap
that it is and given it's due "weight".....The crap that has been
slung against Merc... IMO.... is not worth censorship or
"banning".....
Let me know awhat "y'all" decide....

To be honest, enforcing copyrights doesn't scare me - yet.

Ths could get worse though with the cyber-czar post Jay Rockerfeller

Fwd: [LA-F] Irish government rules out raising corporation tax

m

Irish government rules out raising corporation tax
Irish Deputy Prime Minister Mary Coughlan Mary Coughlan said there would
be no change to the tax rate

The Irish government has insisted it will not raise the country's low
corporation tax rate in return for a European Union-led bail-out.

Deputy Prime Minister Mary Coughlan said the 12.5% rate - much lower
than the EU average - was "non-negotiable".

Her comments come as speculation grows that France and Germany want
Dublin to raise the tax in return for aid.

Meanwhile a bank at the heart of the crisis, Allied Irish Banks, said
17% of its deposits had flown this year.

The Irish government is in bail-out talks with officials from the EU,
the European Central Bank and the IMF.

Bank woes

Although the Irish government claims to be fully-funded until the middle
of next year, it has provided a blanket guarantee to the Irish banks,
some of whom are now finding it impossible to borrow money in the markets.

Allied Irish Banks (AIB) said that businesses and institutions accounted
for most of the 13bn euros ($18bn, £11bn) deposit flight, implying that
the bank does not face a run by ordinary depositors.

AIB's admission is another sign of a steady loss of confidence in the
Irish banks that has forced them to become increasingly reliant on the
European Central Bank and the Irish Central Bank to refinance their debts.

The bank said it intends to raise 6.6bn euros by issuing new shares,
although in the current market environment the Irish government is the
only investor likely to buy them.

Imminent deal

An aid package is expected to emerge next week, according to an unnamed
source quoted by the Reuters news agency.

It will coincide with, or follow shortly after, the announcement by the
Irish Republic of a new four-year austerity programme.

On Thursday, the Irish government admitted for the first that it needed
outside help.

Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said he felt "no sense of shame" over the
country's economic record, but that it now needed outside help.

Previously the government had said it did not need any financial support
from the European Union and International Monetary Fund (IMF).

'Predatory'

The Republic's low corporation tax has been criticised by other EU
nations, who argue that it gives the country too much of an advantage in
attracting overseas investment.

They now argue that the Republic should not be allowed to solely rely on
a bail-out, and that it should instead raise the tax rate to help boost
government funds.

The Financial Times on Friday reported a French official describing it
as "almost predatory".

However, the Republic's European Minister Dick Roche, also insisted that
the corporation tax rate was "certainly not up for negotiation".

He told the BBC: "There has been some very unhelpful chatter in the
background in the last few days about our corporation profit tax.

"Where would be the sense of destroying one of the great drivers of growth?"

EU, European Central Bank, and IMF officials arrived in Dublin on
Thursday to discuss the country's debt crisis, and what aid the country
required.

The Republic's Central Bank Governor, Patrick Honohan, said he expected
a loan in the region of "tens of billions" of euros.

Finance Minister Mr Lenihan said the country's problem were caused by
its heavily indebted banks, which the government has had to bail-out to
the cost of 45bn euros (£39bn; $60.1bn).

"The big difficulty of course is that the banks grew to such a size that
they became too unmanageable for the state itself, that's the big
difficulty here," he said.

"And that's why we have to consider external assistance to stabilise our
banking system."
