Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu wasn't a real mother (or a real Teresa), but she made a difference. Another, real mother also made a difference—but not in a good way. Her name was...Kate Barker, I believe. <br /><br /><i>”BTW, do you recall that the White House Christmas tree had the image of Chairman Mao on an ornament back in 2009?

The accusations came from all the usual drum-beaters; WND, FOX News, The Blaze. First, are the images genuine? One conservative website decided to look into that: <a href="url" rel="nofollow">http://www.therightperspective.org/2009/12/23/is-mao-really-on-the-obama-christmas-tree/</a> <br />I know you're “blinded by the Right”, but I invite you to read it anyway.<br />Second, you weasel-word your way out of it with <i>“If Obama was in agreement to place that ornament there...”</i> Do you know that he was? <br />We're not talking about a secret plan to fund foreign insurgents in defiance of government policy, unknown to the President. I ask you, DID Obama agree to put the ornament there? Even assuming the photo is legitimate?<br />It was only a few weeks ago that you called for politeness from me on this blog.

Hope that you and your family had a blessed Christmas as we look forward to a great new year! The day that "O" (a.k.a. "zero") is voted out of office in November, 2012 will be a great day indeed!<br /><br />I agree that Michele Bachmann was one of the most trustworthy candidates. It is so unfortunate that she didn't do well enough at the Iowa Caucuses to stay in the race.<br /><br />I think that the birth certificate issue is one that most politicians do not want to touch. However, there is a new challenge in Georgia to keep "0" off the ballot there because he is not a natural born citizen. It doesn't focus on the BC, but on the fact that his father Obama, Sr., was NEVER a U.S. citizen and therefore, he cannot qualify for the position of POTUS. <br /><br />At the end of <a href="http://talkwisdom.blogspot.com/2012/01/american-thinker-obama-mask-is-off.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a>, I included links to some important blog posts about this:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://dancingczars.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/court-obama-must-be-constitutionally-eligible-arizona-nh-tn-and-others-to-follow/" rel="nofollow">"We the People"</a> <br />Court: Obama must be ‘constitutionally’ eligible: Arizona, NH, TN and others to follow?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.therightsideoflife.com/2012/01/04/ga-court-dismisses-obamas-motion-to-dismiss-ballot-challenge/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRightSideOfLife+%28The+Right+Side+of+Life%29" rel="nofollow">The Right Side of Life</a> <br />GA Court Dismisses Obama’s Motion to Dismiss Ballot Challenge - Many who have opposed questioning Obama’s eligibility for President have often referred those who have questioned to legally begin questioning such eligibi... <br /><br /><br />Also, <br />The Steady Drip has an excellent video presentation about it all:<br /><br /><a href="http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2012/01/guaranteed-proof-that-obama-is-usurper.html" rel="nofollow">The Steady Drip</a> <br /> <br />GUARANTEED Proof that Obama is a USURPER ~ 100% sourced w/govt documents and the Founders writings! - *GUARANTEED Proof that Obama is a USURPER ~ 100% sourced w/govt documents and the Founders writings!* <br /><br />Wouldn't it be great if "0" would be deemed ineligible to run for a second term?Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-4302288759732970682012-01-09T08:04:20.667-08:002012-01-09T08:04:20.667-08:00GM,

Are such differences because they offer separate qualities than fathers do? There is nothing wrong with noting the differences between mothers vs. fathers and what each can offer that may be different from one another. Political correctness, rabid leftist feminism, anti-feminism, the push for equality in all areas of life (where such equality would be nearly impossible) intuition (or the lack thereof), faith, hope, love, honor, consistency, honesty, frugality, and an entire dictionary of differences between not only a man and a woman, but people in general, can result in positive changes that may not have been reached previously.<br /><br />I think that there can be a female version of Ronald Reagan, one of our finest presidents, but she will have obvious differences (not just physical) from Reagan.<br /><br />Unfortunately, there can be a female version of Obama, Carter, or even Woodrow Wilson (one of the earlier progressive presidents who did so much damage to our Constitutional Republic) who would wreak havoc (as the three examples above have already done) upon our nation.<br /><br />So you see, ideology DOES play a big role in leading our country in the proper direction. The far left policies that have been forced upon the American people by Obama will take years, if not decades to repair.<br /><br />BTW, do you recall that the White House Christmas tree had the image of Chairman Mao on an ornament back in 2009? Usually, people place ornaments on a tree that represent who they believe in (for me, it's Jesus Christ), what their ideology is, or who they believe was a "great leader." If Obama was in agreement to place that ornament there, then we can see that he agreed with, and/or admired, a Communist tyrant who murdered over 70 million people.<br /><br />Obama is turning our nation into what he deems as the "fundamental transformation of America," and we have seen the horrible results of his philosophy being implemented. So, the play on words of "Obamination" truly fits.<br /><br />Obama has been involved in so much corruption, which includes fraud (fraudulent birth certificate, use of a fraudulent social security number - the list is endless) so that name fits too.<br /><br />Obama believes in Marxist policies. He told the nation when he said to Joe the plumber before the 2008 election that he wants to "spread the wealth around." That was only the beginning of our woes with the big "0" as the leader of this nation.<br /><br />You know what the old saying is - if the shoe fits...Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-43494954410387341062012-01-09T04:33:50.421-08:002012-01-09T04:33:50.421-08:00Hey Christine!

I was trying to make the point that perhaps having a mother in office would make some positive changes that haven't been previously done by male inhabitants of the office.<br /><br />Today I was reading an issue of "Women's Health" dated back in October, 2008. There were a lot of tidbits of information about the upcoming [2008] election on the back page; including a fact that I had not previously known that the very first woman to have run for U.S. president was someone by the name of Victoria Woodhull, in 1872!<br /><br />Perhaps the things I listed <i>can</i> be done by anyone. But how many can do them all well? Narrows down the choices, doesn't it?<br /><br />I think that your ideology gets in the way regarding Sarah Palin. You obviously won't view the documentary <i>"The Undefeated"</i> in order to get educated on what you do not currently know about her history. That's too bad.<br /><br />Anyway, I still think that many men would dislike being led by a female POTUS. Just my opinion, though.Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-38760557560859859642012-01-08T19:22:47.829-08:002012-01-08T19:22:47.829-08:00There's no question in my mind that women can ...There's no question in my mind that women can 'multitask'. I've seen it often enough, from my childhood on. My mother; my sisters (who raised eight children between them); the female officers I served under during my service career; the many other women I've known.<br />But that long list you gave doesn't have a single reason why you believe a mother would be better for the job than the many fathers I've known. All those things you mentioned can be done by anyone. An extra X chromosome isn't qualification enough to run a country.<br /><br />You'd better reread my last sentence <i>in context</i> to the one preceding it. Maybe Americans are amenable to the idea of a woman Chief Executive...but not yet, and not with the candidates offered so far. You had nothing to say about my three examples, but anyone who would choose Palin over any one of them is choosing style over substance. Even you must realize that Hilary, for all her flaws, has a better understanding of government than Palin.<br /><br />In any case, my <i>opinion</i> is that the US may never see an 'ethnic' woman become President. Personally, I do not care; qualifications, not reproductive organs, determine good national leaders. It's been less than a century since women even got to vote; some feel that they're moving too fast already. Those same people probably also believe Obama is “uppity”.GMpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189308176043748343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-46760757675149020202012-01-08T12:39:18.367-08:002012-01-08T12:39:18.367-08:00Hi Susan,

It is a fact that some men dislike women. I also think that many men (and, unfortunately, women) would <b><i>mistrust</i></b> a female president - ESPECIALLY if she is a Christian, conservative Republican!<br /><br />The lies and mis-information that swirled around Sarah Palin for the last 4 years has done much damage in the minds of many voters who don't know the truth about this remarkable woman! The people who did see the film (I mentioned above to GM) about her life and accomplishments had a direct positive impact upon the doubters who first entered the theater, thinking that Palin was some kind of dunce - or worse.<br /><br />Do you know that many people STILL think that Sarah said, "I can see Russia from my house" when in actuality, the actress Tina Fey said that line (while mocking Palin) in an SNL episode?<br /><br />I keep track of Sarah via her Face Book page. Her writings are spot on! Especially when it comes to the criticism of the policies of the ObaMARXIST admin.!<br /><br />GM asked why I thought that a mother would be beneficial as the leader of our country. A simple answer would be - because of the multitasking skills a mother has. Raising good, competent, educated, Bible-lead, Christian, compassionate, loving, helpful, giving, caring, independent, self-sufficient, career oriented, ambitious, kind-hearted, America loving, children into adults is one of the most honorable and difficult jobs. Add to that the skills of managing a budget, running a household, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, caring for various animals, plants, maintenance of appliances, bill paying, decorating, health care provider for the family, paying attention to what is happening in the government, those with military experience, knowing about current events and keeping an eye on foreign policy, the ability to delegate certain tasks to the right people, having a career or running a business, making a payroll etc. - we can see how certain women could easily handle the job of president.Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-82148315076221429302012-01-08T12:10:32.880-08:002012-01-08T12:10:32.880-08:00Dear Christine,

Words are very powerful.<br /><br />“For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander” (Matthew 15:19).<br /><br />“Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious, but a fool is consumed by his own lips” (Ecclesiastes 10:12).<br /><br />“But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean'” (Matthew 15:18).<br /><br />Of course most scriptures mean “mankind” not simply males when the word “man” is translated. Most likely it is wise not to leave women out of Holy Scripture as well as other stuff…<br /><br />No question about the following:<br /><br />The ONE G-D of ISRAEL does not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control (2Timothy 1:7).<br /><br />He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood and His NAME is called the WORD of GOD (Revelation 19:13). <br /><br />Much love to you and your worldwide family, Christine. I remain yours in Christ.

Thank you for adding those additional women t...GM,<br /><br />Thank you for adding those additional women to the head of state list. I was recalling (off the top of my head) a few of the more notable women who have lead their respective countries. It wasn't an exhaustive account - just a few examples.<br /><br />We could also add Benezir Bhutto of Pakistan to the list. She was murdered for the same reason that Indira Ghandi was - certain people in the country didn't like her politics; and many Muslim men probably hated having a woman lead the country.<br /><br />You are correct. I was sympathic to the UNFAIRNESS that Hillary endured - but I still vehemently disagree with her political stance. Many Democrats want her to take Obama's place and run in this election. But her loyalty to Obama is evident.<br /><br />Even though I do not like Michele Obama's politics, I still wish that First Ladies and children were left out of the political craziness, vitriole, criticism, and LIES that often surround presidential (and V.P.) candidates. It was so disgusting when the pro-Democratic media lapdogs and bloggers mocked Sarah Palin's downs syndrome son, Trig.<br /><br />GM, I think that you have fallen hook, line and sinker for the lies put forth about Sarah Palin in the media of mass deception. If you took the time to view the independent movie about Sarah Palin's life - <i>"The Undefeated,"</i> I think that you might have more respect for her leadership skills. Then again, maybe not. Your last sentence in your comment is a good indicator that you have a terrible bias towards any women who might become a leader of our nation.Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-4433257288879895682012-01-07T20:49:14.685-08:002012-01-07T20:49:14.685-08:00There is a woman head of state more recent than Me...There is a woman head of state more recent than Merkel of Germany: Julia Gillard of Australia. You also didn't mention Indira Gandhi, who like her famous father, was murdered by people who did not like her words and deeds.<br /><br />It is certainly true that women who have run for President have not gotten a fair shake from the media—FOX News included. I also agree that there are a number of reasons for this.<br /><br /><i>”The good ole' boys of the liberal left elitists didn't like that idea... They wanted Barack Obama, and they would do ANYTHING to get him elected. There were reports of fraud happening in the primaries which pushed Hillary aside and gave the nomination to Obama.”</i> <br /><br />That's a surprisingly sympathetic statement from you, considering how many of your blogs in early '08 were focused on how Hilary <i>must</i> be stopped. You got your wish; she was...right?<br />But what stopped Palin's ascendancy? It seems the good ol' boys of the conservative right elite decided she wasn't ready for prime time, which she showed by revealing how little she knew of the world outside Alaska. Among other things.<br />The Republicans had Elizabeth Dole, Christine Todd Whitman, and Condoleeza Rice, among others. All smart, all experienced in large-scale politics, all well-read and well-traveled—and they offered us <i>Palin?</i> They deserved to lose!<br /><br />But could you tell us exactly why you think the nation has a 'desperate need' to have a MOTHER in charge? What changes do you perceive happening in this country if our leader had a uterus? Would it reduce the number of wars (or abortions)? Does being a mother give special insight on the economy that Milton Friedman and John Kenneth Galbraith don't have?<br />No man is ever asked how he manages to balance both his business and his family. It's always assumed that he does. When women stop being asked that (and when they stop allowing others to ask it), there will finally be some measure of sexual equality in our politics. For now, there isn't.<br /><br /><i>”...during a discussion about elections far into the future, one man claimed that, "one day a black man (but I think he said "Negro") will be elected president [here in America]." Next, he claimed that, "one day perhaps a woman will be elected president." I found it a bit ironic that he had predicted the order correctly.”</i><br /><br />I can't imagine why you'd find it ironic. The key words in that statement were “black <i><b>man</b></i>”. Yes, even a black man over a woman. And if the general preference runs that way now, how long do you think it will be before an African-American, or Hispanic American, or Asian-American <i>woman</i> ever becomes President? <br />I fear the Republic is more likely to end before that happens.GMpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189308176043748343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-74701171323250386242012-01-07T20:03:56.598-08:002012-01-07T20:03:56.598-08:00Yes Susan, I wholeheartedly agree!
