Sarah Palin on Yom Kippur..... "May G-d Bless the Jewish People"

Best Wishes for the Jewish High Holidays

Todd and I would like to offer our best wishes to the Jewish community as they celebrate the High Holy Days. With the celebration of the Jewish New Year this week and the observance of the Day of Atonement next week, we are reminded of the hopeful commitment to renewal and peace exemplified by the Jewish tradition and the Jewish people throughout history.

Yom Kippur, the most solemn and important of the Jewish holy days, is a time of reflection and supplication for forgiveness. The timeless human struggle to promote justice, harmony, and peace is seen here in this process of atonement – in humbly seeking pardon for past wrongs in the hope of a new beginning. It reminds us that if we wish to co-exist globally, we must all strive for forgiveness and tolerance.

A speech was given at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday that was full of hateful anti-Semitic rhetoric. It was a shameful display before a body whose very charter is premised on the need for co-operation and harmony in pursuit of peaceful co-existence between nations. Such talk was especially abhorrent coming as it did during the Jewish High Holidays. The world community must speak with one voice in declaring anti-Semitism and all forms of intolerance and racism utterly unacceptable. There is no place in the community of peace-loving nations for those who traffic in hate or deny the terrible atrocity of the Nazi Holocaust.

In this holy season, we join the Jewish people in the struggle to promote justice, harmony, and peace. May God bless them.

I did not want to get "political" about what Sarah wrote here, but I find it necessary to speak up regarding what she revealed about a U.N. speech.    I did not know about "[the] speech [that] was given at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday that was full of hateful anti-Semitic rhetoric" until Mrs. Palin mentioned it in her good wishes to the Jewish people. 

 

I wonder...did any other speaker at that meeting step up to the microphone and condemn such a speech?  Probably not.  The anti-Semitism [and, more importantly, the anti-Zionism] that wreaks with a stench from the U.N.  to high heaven is absolutely appalling! 

What's more, someone who left a comment at Pam Geller's blog post on Sarah's essay revealed another slap-in-the-face spectacle that occurred at the White House:

 

Timur said...

And what did the Pretender In Chief do for Yom Kippur? Oh, that's right! He invited 50,000 moslems to come to the Capitol and pray!

People, these are not "coincidences."  Some may try to brush each of these offenses off, but there is much more evidence that in the minds of President Zero and the U.N. General Assembly, Islam not only trumps any civil recognition of holy days for Israel; but as in the case of the U.N., the Jews deserve hate-filled rhetoric too. 

And, the lack of concern by both Obama and the U.N. for the  protection of Christians in Muslims lands (who are being persecuted, tortured for their faith and in many instances killed) is even more evidence that Islamism [even radical Islamic jihadists in Syria!!!] is held in better regard - no matter what atrocities they are guilty for committing!! There is an ongoing political war on Christians here at home, too!

What is wrong with this picture?

As an aside to this topic, those who place the "coexist" bumper stickers on their cars don't actually believe in what it is supposed to represent [e.g. for what Sarah Palin meant in her essay].  See that link for an explanation of the real reason why  the "secularists" created that symbol.

I challenge readers to go and read everything being posted at Walid Shoebat's blog.

 Last night, I listened to a radio show interview there that revealed that Walid is being targeted by the Obama regime over the fact that he revealed that Obama's brother - Malik Obama - is in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood. No surprise there! Obama has shown complete deference towards the Muslim Brotherhood throughout his presidency at the White House! A parade of Muslim Brotherhood members have been there over the past 4 1/2 years!   Hasn't the Muslim Brotherhood been identified as a terrorist group?  Heck - even Egypt didn't want Muslim Brotherhood member Morsi as the leader of their country!

Well, I apologize for getting off topic here.  But I felt that I needed to reveal all of these things that are happening because the media of mass deception certainly won't!

Back to the topic of Yom Kippur.

Joel Rosenberg has a great blog post up, celebrating the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.  He also shares some important historical facts about Yom Kippur.

Israelis mark Day of Atonement, reflect on 40 years since surprise attack nearly lost the country.

(Dallas, Texas) — Today is Yom Kippur, or the “Day of Atonement.” It is a Biblical holiday, the day when God called the children of Israel to repent of their national and individual sins and sacrifice animals to receive atonement, or forgiveness, of their sins. It is the highest holiday in Judaism.

 

Yom Kippur also marks the day when the modern state of Israel was nearly “wiped off the map” by her enemies. Forty years ago today, the Russian-trained and equipped air forces and armies of Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on the Jewish State, a move that nearly succeeded in destroying Israel.

 

Today, therefore, many Israelis are fasting and praying and reflecting on their lives and going to synagogue — some because of tradition, and some to follow Old Testament customs (albeit complicated by the lack of a Temple in Jerusalem).

Best wishes to all of my Jewish friends on this Day of Atonement.  May G-d bless you, the Holy Land of Israel, and may God continue to bless the United States of America!

As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD, and stand with Israel!

Jos 24:15

“And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Sarah Palin: #SOTUGottaBKiddingMe

Sarah Palin absolutely socks it to Ovomit's SOTU speech on her Face Book page!  No matter how the media tries to portray her in a negative way, she just ignores their cheap shots and shows how stupid the media of mass deception and corruption really is in their "thrill up the leg" Ovomit blathering!  Sarah always comes out swinging WITH THE TRUTH against the corrupt, evil,  and terribly failed policies of BHO's BADministration! 

God bless you, Sarah!!

Here is a copy of Sarah Palin's essay:

#SOTUGottaBKiddingMe

by Sarah Palin on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 9:02am ·

If you missed President Obama’s State of the Union address last night, you didn’t miss much – especially if you watched any of his past four State of the Union addresses.

We heard the same recycled rhetoric, and we heard his Orwellian declaration that the cornucopia of new federal programs he proposed, as well as his intention to eradicate world poverty, wouldn’t “increase our deficit by a single dime.”

Of course, he glossed over the inconvenient facts. He boasted about job creation, but didn’t mention that real unemployment is higher today than when he took office. He touted all those still undiscovered “clean energy” jobs without mentioning the tens of thousands of real jobs the Keystone Pipeline will create if he would simply allow it to be built. He sang of new energy development, but didn’t mention that new offshore leases for oil and natural gas drilling have declined a decimating 61% under his administration.

He talked about “helping” to build “a thriving middle class,” but didn’t address how the middle class is actually faring under his economic stewardship. This is important – his deception must be addressed: under his leadership, middle class families have seen the average price per gallon of gas increase 96%, the average cost of family health care premiums rise 24%, the annual cost per household from federal regulations rise to over $15,000, and real median household income decline $4,520. If this is what happens when he “helps” the middle class, then please, Mr. President, we implore you to stop “helping” us.

He talked about a “balanced approach to deficit reduction” without mentioning that $5.9 trillion has already been added to the debt since he took office. We’re $16.5 trillion in debt and he keeps digging the hole deeper! He didn’t mention his record trillion dollar deficits or the fact that his last proposed budget would add $9.2 trillion to the debt through 2022. His Democrat-controlled Senate hasn’t passed a budget in four years. That’s obviously not “responsible” or “balanced.” He said, “We can’t cut our way to prosperity.” Well, we definitely can’t get there by borrowing and spending money we don’t have on his “investments” that don’t work. If indiscriminately borrowing and spending money led to prosperity, then bankruptcy would be a sign of economic strength. But it isn’t.

A State of the Union address should give us a true picture of the direction in which we are headed. But we didn’t get the truth last night. And it WAS Orwellian.

What is the true state of our union? Though this may sound harsh, I’ll speak the truth here. We are a country going bankrupt to fund a bloated, distant, and often corrupt federal government led by venal politicians more concerned with paying off their campaign cronies and consolidating their own power than in preserving the constitutional republic that so many have fought and died for (including our brave men and women in uniform who were barely mentioned last night).

We are a country with an economy being stifled under the weight of a bankrupt and voracious federal machine demanding more taxes and burdensome regulations. Job creators are the ones stuck with the bill when Obama calls for “new revenue.” Their businesses bear the brunt of the nearly 87 million paperwork hours imposed by federal regulations in 2012 – annually costing them $1.75 trillion. And I haven’t even mentioned Obamacare yet, which looms like the dark cloud it is over our private sector. Is it any wonder why our economy is stagnant or why job growth is so anemic? President Obama’s “solution” to these problems is to make the federal government more intrusive, bankrupt, and controlling.

If we continue down the path Barack Obama has us on, the long-term forecast of the state of our union is not a pretty picture. Yet he merrily rolls along it, deceiving too many Americans into thinking that these are intelligent, economic, and ethical proposals.

Our President wasn’t candid with Americans about our forecast, but, interestingly, in a Q&A session last week, Paul Krugman, one of President Obama’s economic cheerleaders at the New York Times, was remarkably candid about where we’re headed.

When asked about our federal debt, he admitted that “eventually we do have a problem” especially because “the population is getting older” and “health care costs are rising.” So, what does he see as the solution to pay for all this? He admits that your taxes will rise. And worse:

“Surely in the end it will require some middle class taxes as well. We won’t be able to pay for the kind of government the society will want without some increase in taxes, not a huge one, but some increase in taxes on the middle class, maybe a value added tax. And we’re also going to have to make decisions about health care – not pay for health care that has no demonstrated medical benefits. So, the snarky version I use, which I shouldn’t even say because it gets me in trouble, is death panels and sales taxes is how we do this.” (But wait, I thought there’d be no such thing as “death panels,” liberal liars?)

Mr. Krugman tried to portray this brave new world in the gentlest possible light, but it’s going to take quite a lot of “sales taxes” to meet the payments on the ever-increasing multi-trillion dollar debt we’re burying our kids and grandkids under. And with health care costs rising under Obamacare, obviously a lot of care will be rationed and even flat out denied by panels of faceless bureaucrats making life and death decisions for you and your loved ones. This is the long-term forecast for the state of America under Obama’s failed policies: middle class taxes and death panels.

Does that sound good to you? It doesn’t to me. So, we better get motivated to do something about it. We’d better get out of our post-election funk and wake up to the radicals’ reality being created as America gets “fundamentally transformed.”

Here’s the good news: President Obama is in many ways a lame duck president. None of his ridiculous ideas will come to pass via the legislative process. Of course, he may try to force them down America’s throat by imposing them through other means. But they can be undone if the right people are in position to undo them. He is very bold right now – some would say cocky – because of his November win, but there is another election around the corner, and we can check his boldness at the ballot box by electing constitutional conservatives. We must continue to affirm the fact that growing our bankrupt federal government is NOT the solution. Most of what the federal government does could be handled better on the individual, local, and state levels.

Our country didn’t weather a Revolution, two World Wars, a Civil War, a Great Depression, and countless other political and economic storms, just to be sunk by the dangerous policies of this current administration. We’re stronger than this. As President Reagan said, “I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing.”

So, do something. 2014 is just around the corner. Get motivated! Get organized. America, don’t retreat. In the words of yet another White House program, “Let’s move.”

Sarah Palin Nails ObamaFRAUD to the Wall!!

The following Face Book post written by Sarah Palin has got to be one of the greatest spot-on  retorts against ObaMARXIST that I have ever read!! She tells it like it is - and isn't afraid of a challenge by the media of mass deception, the elitists (some of whom are absolute PIGS - like Bill Maher), the evil administration now in power, and even ObamaFAIL himself! She challenges Obama to a debate! Wouldn't THAT be an eye-opener to the failed policies that Hussein has done over the past three years that are now wreaking havoc upon our nation? Obama will just slither away - like the snake he is who hides behind the tall grass of his handlers and the media of mass deception - so as not to be vetted and detected for who he really is. Obama's minions - the famous ObamaBorgBots will likely ignore (or mock) Palin's assessment of Hussein's failures. But Obama's failures are all there - for all the world to see. Attacking a former vice-presidential candidate has to be one of the lamest excuses for attempting to take the public eye away from the real issues at hand. Sarah Palin - you are one of the greatest female conservative politicians of all time!! Thank you for your strong faith in Jesus Christ, your integrity, your honesty, your strength (that I know comes from God), your determination, your solid spine when so many are attacking you and your family, and most of all your outspoken love for God, your family, this nation, and We The People!!

Sarah Palin's Face Book essay:

Let’s Talk About the Real Issues, Mr. President.


by Sarah Palin on Monday, March 12, 2012 at 6:41pm ·
.
The far Left continues to believe American voters are not smart enough to grasp the diversionary tactics it employs to distract us from the issues our President just doesn’t want to talk about – issues that affect us all every day and must be addressed.




Exhibit A in these diversionary tactics is an absurd new attack ad President Obama has released taking my comments out of context. I’m not running for any office, but I’m more than happy to accept the dubious honor of being Barack Obama’s “enemy of the week” if that includes the opportunity to debate him on the issues Americans are actually concerned about. (Remember when I said you don’t need a title to make a difference?)




Just off the top of my head, a few of these concerning issues include: a debt crisis that has us hurtling towards a Greek-style collapse, entitlement programs going bankrupt, a credit downgrade for the first time in our history, a government takeover of the health care industry that makes care more expensive and puts a rationing panel of faceless bureaucrats between you and your doctor (aka a “death panel”), $4 and $5 gas at the pump exacerbated by an anti-drilling agenda that rejects good paying energy sector jobs and makes us more dependent on dangerous foreign regimes, a war in Afghanistan that seems unfocused and unending, a global presidential apology tour that’s made us look feeble and ridiculous, a housing market in the tank, the longest streak of high unemployment since World War II, private-sector job creators and industry strangled by burdensome regulations and an out-of-control Obama EPA, an attack on the Constitutional protection of religious liberty, an attack on private industry in right-to-work states, crony capitalism run amok in an administration in bed with their favored cronies to the detriment of genuine free market capitalism, green energy pay-to-play kickbacks to Obama campaign donors, and a Justice Department still stonewalling on a bungled operation that armed violent Mexican drug lords and led to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.




I’m sure I missed a few things, but the list is just for starters. Along with millions of others, I’m willing and free to discuss these issues with the President anywhere, anytime; and I’m sure any of the four patriots currently running for the GOP nomination would also welcome the opportunity to talk about the problems everyday Americans face due to the abject failure of our current administration’s policies. The President will dismiss all of these problems by saying, “Well, uh, ‘change isn’t easy.’” But considering that candidate Obama promised to turn back the waters and heal the planet, the American people had at least a reasonable expectation that, at the bare minimum, he wouldn’t bankrupt our country.




This latest ad is quite odd, but also quite telling. It shows that our President sure seems fearful of discussing the economy, energy prices, and all the other problems people need addressed. And intended or not, now that his ad opens up the discussion of Barack Obama’s radical past associations and the radical philosophy that shaped his ideas about his promised “fundamental transformation” of our country, I welcome the media to join ordinary Americans in finally vetting Barack Obama. The media failed to do so in 2008 to the detriment of us all. Maybe this time around they can do their job.


They might start by noting the President’s heavily edited attack ad. Breitbart’s Ben Shapiro helps them out in this piece. Please read it all.

News OK: Palin and CPAC Crowd Shout Down Occupy Hecklers

Excerpt:

When the Occupy hecklers interrupted her, Palin joined the crowd in shouting "U-S-A! U-S-A!" -- a litany that quickly gave way to chants of "SAR-AH! SAR-AH!" as the occupiers were ushered from the room. "See, you just won!" Palin told the audience. "You see how easy that is?"

Palin attacked President Obama for the Senate Democrats failure to pass a budget. "Going on a 1000 and some days and still no budget -- he mucked it up," Palin said. Obama, directing a remark to Congress while speaking about economic recovery, recently said "don't muck it up."

International Business Times: Sarah Palin News CPAC 2012

Excerpt:

"I thought Sarah Palin was the perfect end to the conference," Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union, said after the speech. "She added the right touch and frankly it was one of the best speeches I've heard her give."

Those outside of the conservative bubble might not understand her appeal, but if CPAC 2012 taught us anything it is that Sarah Palin is still a force to be reckoned with and will likely have a big impact within the base for years to come.

Sarah Palin: I'd Vote For Newt Gingrich

While cleaning up the kitchen after dinner, I was watching, the Sean Hannity show. Sat down to blog about Sarah Palin's newsworthy statement, "If I was in South Carolina, in order to keep this thing going, I'd vote for Newt," but Legal Insurrection already posted about it:

Sarah Palin on Hannity just stated that if she were in South Carolina she would vote for Newt to keep the election from being declared over if Romney wins.

She emphasized that we need answers to questions, and can’t risk October surprises.

I’ll get you the full quote and video when available.

I think that Sarah is right! What's the rush? We don't need to have a Republican nominee until April!!

Newt would absolutely demolish Obama in debates. I think that he would be a better pick than Romney.

New "Rationing Board" Threatens Health Care Access in America

Dear Readers,


This is a CRUCIAL SUBJECT so PLEASE READ and share with everyone you know! Recall how the media of mass deception mocked Sarah Palin for her concern about the "death panels" written in the Obamacare bill? She was CORRECT FOLKS!

Sarah Palin's Face Book Page Notes: Lies, Damned Lies – Obamacare 6 Months Later; It’s Time to Take Back the 20!



Excerpt:

And remember when the Obama administration said they would not be “rationing care” in the future? That ol’ “death panels” thing I wrote about last year? That was before Obamacare was passed. Once it passed, they admitted there was going to be rationing after all. There has to be. The reality of Obamacare is that it enshrines what the New York Times called “The Power of No” – the government’s power to say no to your request for treatment of the people you love. The fact that the president used a recess appointment to push through the nomination of Dr. Donald Berwick as head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services tells you all you need to know about this administration’s intentions. After all, Berwick is the man who said, “The decision is not whether we will ration care – the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open.”

By the way, when the administration was talking about that independent board that has the statutory power to decide which categories of treatment are worthy of funding based on efficiency calculations (that, again, sounded to me like a panel of faceless bureaucrats making life and death decisions about your loved ones – which, again, is what I referred to as a “death panel”), it was another opportunity for Americans to hear the truth about Obamacare’s intentions.

So, yes, those rationing “death panels” are there, and so are the tax increases that the president also promised were “absolutely not” in his bill. (Aren’t you tiring of the untruths coming from this White House and the liberals in Congress?) When the state of Florida filed a challenge to Obamacare on the basis that the mandates in the bill are unconstitutional, the Obama Department of Justice filed a motion to dismiss the suit by citing the Anti-Injunction Act, which blocks courts from interfering with the federal government’s ability to collect taxes. Yes, taxes! Once the bill was passed it was no longer politically inconvenient for the Obama administration to admit that it makes no difference whether the payment is a tax or a penalty because it’s “assessed and collected in the same manner.” The National Taxpayer Advocate has already warned that “Congress must provide sufficient funding” to allow the IRS to collect this new tax. Pretty soon we’ll be paying taxes just to make it possible for the IRS to collect all the additional taxes under Obamacare! Seems as if this is another surprise that the public found out about after the bill was rammed through.

There is a Christian ministry called Truth In Action which has set up a petition to sign at the website. You will find the petition link at the end of the following article:

Truth In Action: New Rationing Board Threatens Health Care Access In America.

This is a ministry that deserves support and I encourage everyone to read about the new "rationing board" that threatens health care access in America. Donate just $5 or more and receive a booklet: Ration Care: The Powerful Unelected Board that Threatens Healthcare in America

Dear Children, let us not love with word or tongue but with actions and in truth. - 1 John 3:18 NIV

I was so glad when Michele Bachmann was in the race for the presidency because she kept this issue front and center at all of the debates. Since her exit, the debates that I have witnessed have not mentioned the need to repeal Obamacare!


Also, please read the entire issue of the Impact Newsletter [PDF].


On page two, there is an article that covers why newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan should RECUSE HERSELF FROM THE UPCOMING CASE!


Copy of article:

Why Justice Kagan Should Withdraw
from Health Case

Should a U.S. Supreme Court justice pass judgment on a law she is known to support, one for which she apparently took a role in devising a legal defense strategy?

That’s a question many people are asking about Elena Kagan, who was U.S. Solicitor General when health care reform became law. Kagan’s “Simply amazing…” email to a colleague on March 21, 2010, celebrating the imminent passage of the health care restructuring bill, demonstrates her support for the law in which she is about to sit in judgment.

“...definitely...involved”

But there’s more. A Jan. 8, 2010 email from her deputy, Neal Katyal, states that “Elena would definitely like OSG [Office of the Solicitor General] to be involved in this set of issues [legal defense of health care reform].

Kagan was also copied on a March 18, 2010 email which outlined privileged information regarding the government’s legal strategy to defend the law.

Federal law requires a judge to withdraw from “any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” We believe that reasonable standard has been met in Justice Kagan’s case.

Please read, sign and return the enclosed petition to Justice Kagan, asking her to withdraw herself from the case.

Example of petition to print out, sign, and mail:

A PETITION TO THE HONORABLE ELENA KAGAN,

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT

Dear Justice Kagan:

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to decide the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Your past involvement as an advocate for this law while Solicitor General, as evidenced by emails released as a consequence of Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, makes it clear that you have a conflict of interest and a legal duty to recuse yourself from hearing this case.

Your view of the law itself is clear from your email to your colleague Laurence Tribe on March 21, 2010, celebrating its imminent passage. You also commissioned your deputy, Neal Katyal, to participate in strategy sessions within the Obama administration to defend the law and had access too privileged information regarding that legal strategy.

God's Word states that judges are to be impartial: "You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality..." (Deuteronomy 16:19 NKJV). (bold mine)

Federal law states that a judge who has "served in governmental employment" must recuse if she has "expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy." The law, 28 USC 455, also requires a judge to withdraw from "any proceedings in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned."

That standard is more than met by the information contained in the few emails released by the U.S. Justice Department. With all due respect, Justice Kagan, you have a clear duty to recuse yourself in this case. Should you fail to do so, it will deeply stain your reputation and that of the Court. For all these reasons, we implore you to withdraw from this case.

Sincerely,

[sign name and include address]

Is America Not Yet Accepting Of A Female President?

It was a sad day for me when Michele Bachmann finished last in the Iowa Caucuses and then decided to suspend her campaign. I thought that she was the best TEA Party candidate (although Sarah Palin would have been better - IMHO), and I agreed with most of her policies.   I was hoping that she would stay in the race up to and including the California Republican Primary because I would have loved to have voted for her.  But it was not to be, I guess.

It may be just my opinion, but I truly believe that America is not yet ready to elect a female presidential candidate as President of the United States. There could be a myriad of reasons for this, but the signals given by much of the electorate over the years leads me to believe what I'm thinking is true.

If you are old enough (like me) to recall back when Geraldine Ferraro ran as the V.P. pick of Walter Mondale, you probably saw much discrimination against her. I'm not a democrat and I wasn't a fan of either one of them, but I do recall their ticket being called "weak." And it was not just because Mondale was a weak candidate. I think that a lot of people saw his pick of Ferraro as the very first female V.P. candidate as a weak choice, too.

Fast forward to when Hillary Clinton ran in the 2008 Democratic Primary. The good ole' boys of the liberal left elitists didn't like that idea, either. 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. Again, I'm not a democrat or a fan of Hillary, but there were MANY Democrats who were steaming mad (and formed the PUMA group) about this and let their anger become well known.  Hillary herself even admitted that the media ganged up against her.  Only The Fox News Channel gave her even coverage.

Also, the attacks against Sarah Palin, who was introduced to the nation because she was chosen by John McCain to be his V.P. running mate in 2008, were legendary. She was not only attacked because she is a beautiful, successful woman with a great family, but also because she is Christian, conservative, and a leader who helped get the TEA Party high recognition.

I know that millions of American were disappointed when Sarah Palin decided not to run for the Republican Presidential Nomination. But as a woman who obviously has her priorities straight, perhaps the time for her is not right. Some day, she may run and win the election! I think that it would a great day, indeed, for America if she were elected to the highest position in the land. America is in desperate need for a MOTHER to be in charge. I think that the positive changes would be absolutely wonderful for our nation!

It must be SO DIFFICULT for women to be involved in politics these days - especially here in the United States. Look at all the foreign nations that have had women at the helm and fared very well as a result! We could go as far back as Golda Meir of Israel, and as recent as Angela Merkel of Germany. There is a new film out about the Iron Lady - Margaret Thatcher - whose leadership is admired by many in the States. I hope that the film is fair and accurate about her life and career.

I think that people in America are currently accepting of  females serving our country in the Legislature, Judiciary, Military, State Governments, as Secretaries of State or other Cabinet positions, and of course, as First Ladies.

There is a stunning new book out about Michelle Obama which does not look to be very flattering about her. You can read about it over at Gateway Pundit:

New Book Details How President Sent White House Advisers to Deal With First Lady

posted by Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit - 47 minutes ago

Some of what is said in the comments are distasteful - so be forewarned.  It is common knowledge in the blogosphere that Mrs. Obama has spent too much money in her role as First Lady.  Most knew that she had  expressed hatred for America (we knew shortly after the election when she said, "for the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country.")    As recently as 9/11/11, Mrs. Obama continued to express her distaste for the American Flag during a ceremony where she was filmed leaning over and speaking into her husband's ear.  Lip readers agreed that she had denigrated the flag of our country when she said, "all this for a f****n flag?"  We know that back in 2008, she said that she and Barack will "need to change our history,"  "fundamentally transform America" etc.  If you love someone (or something) you don't usually tell them that they need to be "fundamentally transformed."  There is much, much more I could share but suffice it to say that the image often portrayed of her in the liberal left media/magazines was more positive than the actual life and attitudes that she holds about this country.

I could be wrong, but outbursts and attitudes like Michele Obama's at the White House might make many people feel that women are too emotional to hold the position of president.  I think that is truly sad;  very sad, in fact.  It gives a bad impression about women in general, and a bad impression about black women in particular.  It is people like her (and her husband) that unfortunately, will likely set back race relations for decades.

Back to the original purpose of this post.

A few months ago, I saw a film that was made in the 1940's or 1950's that was about two presidential candidates. I was a bit surprised to learn that the lobbying and corruption involved in election campaigns happened way back then, too. I can't recall the name of the movie. I did a search, thinking that the movie was called "The Candidate," (or maybe it was entitled, "The Campaign") but I still could not find it. While hunting for the  film, I searched through dozens of pages at the TCM - (Turner Classic Movies)  movie website. There are over 500 pages of films to go through!

Anyway, the point of bringing up that particular film is the fact that 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.

We will just have to wait and see when the second half of that prediction comes true.

We Need A True TEA Party Candidate! [Update]

When Sarah Palin announced that she would not seek the Republican nomination for president in 2012, I have to admit that I was quite disappointed. However, I certainly could understand her reasons. I wrote the following on her Face book page:

God first, family second, and job third is a great philosophy to live by and I can certainly understand your prayerful decision, Sarah. Many are disappointed, but with God's guidance, you have made your decision. If things change between now and election day, perhaps you might find God leading you to reconsider your decision. Whatever you decide, you have my admiration and respect. The political climate is so awful. The hatred being spewed towards conservative Christians has been ramped up since ObaMAO got into office. Praying that a TRUE conservative Christian will step up and save this nation!

I thought that Herman Cain might be the candidate that the TEA Party has been looking for, but who knows whether or not his candidacy will survive the sexual harassment scandal?

There was some buzz over on Sarah Palin's Face book page that she may be reconsidering running for president, but she hasn't commented about it yet. According to her page, she is planning on making a speech in Florida soon, but I don't think that it has anything to do with reconsidering her position to run in 2012.

If she is reconsidering a run for the presidency in 2012, perhaps she sees that the Cain scandal (whether it is fair or not) might derail his run for the nomination. I recall doing a post at my blog many months ago where she supported his candidacy when he originally announced his run for the Republican nomination.

I really thought that Cain might be the non-political hack type of candidate that the TEA Party needs, but with his flub on the abortion issue during a liberal cable station interview, and now this sexual harassment scandal, I don't know if he will survive and make it to the nomination. There has been some speculation that Rahm Emanuel is behind the exposure of the sexual harassment scandal. If so, then perhaps ObaMAO fears that Cain could beat him?

The media of mass deception has done over 50 reports on Cain's "scandal," whereas they only did 3 on each of Clinton's sexual scandals (far more serious I might add). Recall Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick? (forget her last name) who was allegedly raped by Clinton?

I don't think that Cain is the political elitists' choice for the Republican nomination. Karl Rove is certainly trying to get people swayed toward Romney (barf!). I don't think Newt is electable, no matter how smart he is because of his sordid past. The elitists are dismissing everyone else too. So who do they want? If they want Obama re-elected, then the Communists/Socialists/Islamo-fascists/Anarchists/ have certainly made it known that they plan to take over and will do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING to get Obama re-elected.

A LOT of people have awakened to the farce of Dem vs. Republican, but the question remains, will we have the candidate to finally kick the elitists out who are intent on destroying our Constitutional Republic and Capitalistic economic system? I certainly hope so! I pray every day for God to have mercy on our nation and allow our people to wake up and elect a true conservative Christian who supports the Constitution and our Capitalistic economic system into the office of the presidency!

Update 11/5/11 re: Herman Cain!

Legal Insurrection reports:

All of the sudden, Politico wants to be fair and balanced

Copy of post (go to link for additional links):

After spending a week portraying Herman Cain as a sexual predator, allegations which so far have resulted in NO FACTS sustantiating the innuendo, Politico now wants to be fair and balanced and tell us that Cain actually led industry efforts to fight sexual harassment, Under Herman Cain, NRA launched Sex Harassment Fight:

With Cain at the helm as CEO in 1998, the [National Restaurant] association created a video to explain sexual harassment laws to its members – and created a sample sexual harassment policy for individual restaurants to use, according to a Chicago Tribune story at the time.

The NRA’s Educational Foundation began offering a training program for member restaurants called, “What’s the Big Deal? Sexual Harassment Prevention Program,” in addition to its ServSafe safety and alcohol training materials. Today, according to the ServSafe website, restaurants can purchase employee and manager training brochures, as well as DVDs to explain acceptable practices.

Scher, who observed the NRA’s actions at the time and has read about them since, said the organization’s actions were, at the time, a proactive step.

And in a prophetic statement, Cain also warned of the consequences of frivolous suits:

Industry officials saw it coming — none other than Cain himself warned as far back as 1991 that changes in federal law resulting from the hearings could cause problems for employers.

“This bill opens the door for opportunists who will use the legislation to make some money,” Cain, then CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, told Nation’s Restaurant News. “I’m certainly for civil rights, but I don’t know if this bill is fair because of what we’ll have to spend to defend ourselves in unwarranted cases.”

Indeed. But at least you didn’t have Politico in 1991.

It is looking more and more feasible that this sexual harrassment story has been trumped up to destroy Cain's character and candidacy. Isn't it possible that these women may have used Cain to get money through frivolous claims? It is also very telling that one of the accusers refuses to go before the public - so she sent out her lawyer who didn't reveal much detail anyway.

It will be interesting to see just who was initially responsible (Rahm Emmanuel??) for attempting to destroy Cain - just because he isn't a leftist black who toes the liberal Democratic line.

Roger Ailes Tells Why Beck & Palin Were Nixed + Christie's Speech

A big hat tip to Gulag Bound for pointing out an article over at Newser.com - Roger Ailes: Beck, Palin Were 'Branding Issue'

Personally, I think that Gulag Bound's title of "Roger Ailes Tells Why Beck & Palin Were Nixed" is a more accurate title.  It has become increasingly obvious that Fox News is leaning left.  How sad.

Last night, I was watching Hannity's repeat broadcast at 9:00 PT. Hannity was showing Gov. Chris Christie's speech at the President Ronald Reagan Library. Governor Christie was invited via letter by Nancy Reagan to be the keynote speaker. As Gov. Christie started to tell the truth about Obama, Hannity's coverage of the speech abruptly stopped. Was this by design? After reading about Roger Ailes in the above article, I would venture to say that it certainly was by design. Just like the rest of the media of mass deception, Fox News Channel is leaning towards the leftist side of the political spectrum these days.

When Hannity stopped broadcasting Christie's speech, I went over to C-Span, hoping that it was being covered there. It must have been a repeat broadcast because at the time I changed the channel, Christie was just beginning his speech. [See entire speech at C-Span: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie Remarks at Ronald Reagan Library Event] So I listened to the first part again and was very pleased to hear what he had to say against Obama's terrible non-leadership and awful policies. It was so good to hear about President Ronald Reagan's leadership again and hear famous quotes he made. I truly believe that Reagan was one of the last true American presidents. Others since then have shown agreement with the "new world order" and have adhered to the global initiatives that the progressive left and RINO progressive right have imposed upon our nation. To hear Gov. Christie state that there is no need to apologize to ANYONE in the world regarding America, and when he discussed Reagan's belief in American exceptionalism again - I found myself thinking how awesome and refreshing his words were!

Back to the Fox News Channel.

My husband and I have tried to watch "The Five," - the Fox News Channel show that replaced Glenn Beck in that time slot. Bob Beckel is way to annoying (and WRONG every day!!) and all the rest of the panel does is argue. Even five people (some of which I like and admire) cannot hold the attention of viewers like Glenn Beck did. I would love to know what the ratings are in that time slot now. Anybody reading here know? I'm sure that viewership has absolutely plunged since Glenn left.

Also, I didn't realize that Sarah Palin lost her "Fox News Contributor" role. But now that I think of it, she has only appeared on Greta's show lately. I found it really distasteful that several commentators at Fox are now saying that Sarah should not run for the presidency. What back stabbers they all are!!!

Back to Christie's speech.

Governor Chris Christie shared a quote from then Senator, Barack Obama in 2007, who claimed that he would unite this country. After almost three years of his bullying kind of leftist/Marxist/Islamo-fascist Frances Fox Piven strategy and Saul Alinsky lies, division, and harm against America, people are seeing how much of a mistake the election of Obama was in 2008. Slogans like "2012 - The End of an Error" are cropping up all over the blogosphere.

I am so glad that Christie spoke out against Obama. And, he used Obama's own lying words against him!

I shake my head in disbelief at all of the corruption that this current bAdministration has wreaked upon our nation. I pray that they don't get away with the Gunrunner/Fast and Furious Scandal or the Solyndra $535 billion dollar taxpayer dollar scandal! These people belong in JAIL - NOT THE WHITE HOUSE!!

Sarah Palin Defends Tea Party Against 'Terrorists' Comments

Sean Hannity's discussion with Sarah Palin reflects exactly how I feel about the debt ceiling compromise. Go to the link to see the videos.

Excerpt:

President Obama didn’t address the fact that the VP and another congressman referred to members of the Tea Party as ‘terrorists.’ Sean Hannity asked former Governor Sarah Palin to share her reaction to such name-calling. Palin says, “Well the president’s speech in Arizona, as he asked folks to start ratcheting down the rhetoric, was all talk. He wasn’t sincere in that and that’s typical Barack Obama. Unfortunately, that is typical of our president where it’s blah, blah, blah. All talk and no action. In other words, he didn’t tell Biden to tone it down a bit.”
She went on to reference Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers, a former member of the activist group the Weather Underground. “I mean he didn’t have a problem palling around with Bill Ayers back in the day when he kicked off his political career in Bill Ayers’ apartment,” she said. She went on to say, “If we were real domestic terrorists, I think, President Obama wouldn’t have a problem with us.”

When it comes to the unfairness of Tea Party attacks, Palin said, “Enough is enough. I’m gonna stand up for those fiscally conservative patriotic Americans that want the best for this country. I’m gonna stand up for radio talk show hosts, who if it were not for them we would have less factual information out there.” She tells Sean, “I don’t want you or anyone else who is innocent to take it anymore.”

Sarah's quote is the best:

Sarah Palin Defends Tea Party Against 'Terrorists' Comments
Sarah Palin fired back at Dems for claiming that Tea Partiers acted like "terrorists" in the debt debate and said the president should have denounced such language. Palin referenced Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers, a radical activist, saying, "If we were real domestic terrorists, I think, President Obama wouldn't have a problem with us."

Ha ha ha haaaa! That is so great!! I love how Sarah uses the left's own negative rhetoric against them!!

Thank you Sarah Palin!! Your courage to speak out and your spot on convictions to "tell it like it is" is always such a delight to those who are paying attention to the circus in the White House! And the jab you gave back to the Marxist, Islamo-fascist progressive pResident was simply priceless!! Thank you so much for your continued sensible solutions to what our nation is going through!

I agree that the TEA Party made a difference in the debt ceiling debate, but we need far more TEA Party Patriots (and FAR LESS RINOS) in the House and Senate (and YOU, DEAR SARAH - IN THE PRESIDENCY!) IN 2012!! I hope and pray that you and your family will come to the decision that many Conservative Republican TEA Party Patriots like myself want to happen - and that is for YOU to run for President of the United States of America!!

Big Government: Sarah Palin Hits Another Bullseye: If Tea Partiers Were Terrorists, Obama Would Pal Around With Them

Excerpt:

It is a time-honored tactic of radicals to accuse their enemies of what they do in order to convert a negative into a positive, as the master of political agitation Saul Alinsky taught.

This explains the Left’s newfound interest in the lie that the Tea Party is comprised of “terrorists.”

Unless you think petitioning the government for lower spending is somehow akin to flying airplanes into buildings, you’ve got to agree with Sarah Palin, whose recent salvos on the topic are dead-on.

As President Obama and his merry band of Marxists continue driving America off a cliff, Palin (and columnist Charles Krauthammer) have been pushing back hard against the liberal talking point that Tea Party supporters are terrorists.

Her comments came after Vice President Joe Biden, Congressman Mike Doyle (D-Pa.), and their socialist buddies at MSNBC recently breathed new life into the “terrorist” smear. Because President Obama, who himself has ties to real, live terrorists, has not upbraided the vice president, we can safely assume he agrees with Biden.

Fox News Purposely Sabotaging Palin

The following link certainly explains why Fox News Channel did a 180 degree turn against their own Fox News Commentator, Sarah Palin. The Post & Email: Is Fox News Out to Sabotage Governor Palin?

After reading the article, I think that we may all know exactly why this has happened.

No one can put Sarah Palin in a box. No one controls her. Perhaps Roger Ailes originally thought he could, but when he found out how mistaken he was, he systematically set out to join the chorus of leftist libtards and began the process of deliberately sabotaging her! This is truly DESPICABLE!!

Isn't this a truly sad state of affairs? Sarah Palin has enough fiery darts being thrown at her by the rest of the Media of Mass Deception!! How disheartening to find out that Fox News is now joining in with the evil nemesis of Palin derangement syndrome haters!

Even though I didn't agree with Hillary Clinton's political views, it was so obvious that she was sabotaged by her own party back during the 2008 primary. I thought that was awful, too.

Who are these people???

If Sarah Palin toughs it out and runs for president, I think that it would be the first step in getting away from the powers-that-be who have had a death grip of control over Washington D.C. for decades.

On the other hand, if Sarah Palin decides not to run for president, she will be a formidable figure in steering conservatives towards the best GOP candidate in the race.

Shame on Roger Ailes and all the reporters and pundits (except Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren) who are in on the fix to sabotage the former governor! When Glenn Beck's program is discontinued at the end of June, it will be difficult for me to support Fox News anymore. The combination of finding out about the deliberate sabotage of Sarah Palin and the ignorant decision to let Glenn Beck go (although he will most likely move on to bigger and better things!!) has caused a bad taste in my mouth and has increasingly soured my stomach towards that news station. I suppose that I will just continue getting my news from the many excellent blogs on my blog roll.

America? Please wake up!! Whether you like Sarah Palin or not, can't you see what is happening here?? If you are a lefty who wanted Hillary as the Dem nominee, recall what happened to her! PLEASE DON'T LET THE POWERFUL LEFTIST ELITES CONTINUE TO SABOTAGE INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS!! WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO SABOTAGE OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE, TOO!

DO THE RIGHT THING!!

Chopra Mocks Palin? ReasonandFaith1 Returns the Favor! [Update!]

While listening to Glenn Beck's radio program this morning, I heard about Deepak Chopra's ranting article against Sarah Palin. Gateway Pundit has the story and links, so I will just provide some insight that I learned about Chopra years ago.

Back in January, 2005, Deepak Chopra appeared on Lee Strobel's television program,  Faith Under Fire and debated Christian Apologist Greg Koukl on the topic of "The Future of Faith."

As a recipient of Greg's email alerts I received an email telling me the date, time and channel of the program. Greg also stated the following in his email:

I think you'll find the discussion stimulating and revealing. I think it's also a great opportunity for the Kingdom. Please pray there will be a powerful impact from the exchange between Chopra and me.

Greg
--
"I have come in to the world to bear witness to the truth."--Jesus, John 18:37

My initial reaction to the show:

Great show!

This broadcast was absolutely fabulous! Greg Koukl pointed out the fact that people can have differing beliefs regarding faith, but that it is logically impossible for them all to be true at the same time. His trust in Jesus Christ and God's Word stood in direct contrast to Deepak Chopra who admitted "embracing his uncertainty." Koukl's view demonstrates a steadfast and true faith where Chopra's view can only lead to theological oblivion.

The eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth to show Himself strong to those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. 2 Chronicles 16:9

I gathered some additional comments over at my Talk Wisdom forum:

Messengers of an Impersonal God?
I watched Greg Koukl and Deepak Chopra discuss the future of faith on Lee Strobel's Faith Under Fire last night. Dr. Chopra has written numerous books on New Age spirituality that have sold millions of copies. Greg did a superb job of representing the gospel in content and character, modeling the qualities of an ambassador that he and the folks at Stand to Reason seek to instill in others. He repeatedly demonstrated the problems with religious relativism and exposed the fact that, contrary to his denial that he is dogmatic, Dr. Chopra adheres to a theological position of which he seeks to persuade others.

As a sign of respect for Jesus, Dr. Chopra said that his teaching in the Sermon on the Mount is among his favorites and that he carries a copy of it with him. However, he considers Jesus only one among a number of God's messengers. Not only is this a contradiction of the biblical witness to Jesus' uniqueness, it's also unintelligible given Dr. Chopra's own concept of the nature of God. You see, Dr. Chopra emphatically denies that God is a personal being.

The concept of messenger presupposes two activities, both of which can only be performed by persons. The first is that of sending or commissioning. The summer before I went to college I worked as a messenger for a law firm in Manhattan. They sent me and my co-workers on various assignments to deliver important documents to other firms and businesses. I didn't decide what my destination was to be. Nor did I decide at what times I would go on these errands. All of that was dictated to me by my employer. A messenger is one who is sent by someone not something.

The second activity presupposed by the concept of messenger is communication. A messenger is one who conveys a what? That's right - a message. The task of a messenger is to convey some kind of communication from the one who sent him or her to the recipient. If I were to tell you that my toaster wanted me to tell you something, you'd think that I was either joking or something was seriously wrong with me. That's because we know that toasters and other impersonal entities don't communicate. So, how Dr. Chopra explains the concept of an impersonal God having messengers, I don't know. I don't think he can.

I wouldn't be surprised if Greg offers some more detailed analysis of the exchange at STR's blog so keep an eye out for it.

Greg Koukl r0x0rz da hizzy
I only got to see from about 20 minutes after the hour, but Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason graciously, fairly, kindly, steamrolled Deepak Chopra on Faith Under Fire last night. I mean, it wasn't even fair. Wasn't even close. TKO first round, except the fight kept going. I have no idea how Greg managed to wrangle the whole hour---the biggest draw-back to Faith Under Fire has been that you have to address big issues in picoseconds, and sometimes you just can't do that very well. So, to get the whole hour with a single "opponent" was quite the coup, and resulted in a much better encounter with a much clearer result.
I've heard from Faith Under Fire three times on three different topics. First program crashed and burned when my opponent backed out. Nothing came of the second two. Haven't heard anything in months now. I don't expect to, honestly (if you go over the guest list you'll see a few names that would explain my non-expectation), but as long as they get folks like Greg on there, they'll be doing well.

In addition, SmartChristian's blog pointed out the obvious fact that "Deepak Chopra is simply a new age hindu."

Why am I sharing this with you? Because no matter what fake persona Chopra tries to present to his fans and readers of his books, the true person (emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually) often is exposed during an unnecessarily mean and cruel rant like the one he wrote against Sarah Palin.

Glenn stated some past quotes from Chopra on his radio program. I will try to locate the exact quotes and post them here. But they were similar to the idea that "we all should just get along" and "live in peace and harmony" and "not judge each other" etc. So...what did Chopra do in his angry rant against Sarah Palin? The exact opposite of his guru-type, transcendental meditation gobbledy-gook that he espouses in his books, tapes, interviews and website!

The debate between Koukl and Chopra went on for an entire hour. I found a portion of the program on YouTube, but the portion where Chopra stated that he "embraces his uncertainty" isn't in the clip.

Go here to see just 5 minutes of the debate:

Shocker! Leftist Jews Agree With Obama’s Plan to Turn Holy Land Over to Hamas-Fatah Alliance

posted by Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit - 10 minutes ago

Of course they do… A few leftist Jewish democrats agree with Barack Obama’s plan to hand over half of Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall, The Temple Mount, Old Jerusalem, and the tomb of Jesus Christ to the Hamas...

One might ask, why would leftist Jewish democrats do such a thing?  It has to be because they are anti-Zionist; do not believe that the Bible is God's Word, and have been brain-dirtied to be stuck in the liberal leftist mindset that continues to drink Obama's poisonous Kool-Aid.  Gateway Pundit sums it up simply as this:   "Politics always trumps religious belief with these leftists."

Glenn Beck: Palin 2012 Just Got More Likely

I love Sarah's style. She tells it like it is and doesn't care who hates her and/or doesn't like her policies or what she has to say.


Recently, someone told me that he thinks she is a "polarizing figure" and doesn't think she should run for president. That truly disappointed me. But who could possibly be more polarizing that our current pResident in the White House? Trouble is, Obamafraud outrightly lied during his campaign!  We have the videotapes!   Unfortunately, many people (even Christians) were fooled by his untrustworthy rhetoric. We The People won't get fooled again, and no matter who the Republican nominee turns out to be, he or she will win handedly over Obama. The nation now knows how much of a fraudster, cheater, liar, socialist, and Islamo-fascist dictator Obama really is and except for a few leftists who still are falling for his dangerous demagoguery, the following he once owned and enjoyed has diminished quite substantially.


You don't need to take my word for it. Just view this video (HT: A Time For Choosing) to see how badly Obama's terrible policies have hurt our nation:



Sarah does not mince words when she finds the policies of Barack Hussein Obama dangerous and troubling:

Obama’s Strange Strategy: Borrow Foreign Money to Give to Foreign Countries
.by Sarah Palin on Friday, May 27, 2011 at 4:23pm.Should we be borrowing money from China to turn around and give it to the Muslim Brotherhood?


Given that we are running massive deficits and are drowning in more than $14 trillion in debt, and despite not knowing who will rule Egypt until its election this fall, this strange strategy may be the end result given President Obama’s announcement that he is committing $2 billion to Egypt’s “new government.” It’s part of a $20 billion foreign aid package laid out with the Group of 8 countries in Europe today.


Now, given that Egypt has a history of corruption when it comes to utilizing American aid, it is doubtful that the money will really help needy Egyptian people. Couple that with the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood is organized to have a real shot at taking control of Egypt’s government, and one has to ask why we would send money (that we don’t have) into unknown Egyptian hands?


Throwing borrowed money around is not sound economic policy. And throwing borrowed money around the developing world is not sound foreign policy. Foreign assistance should go to American allies that need it and appreciate it, and for humanitarian purposes when it can truly make a difference.


Considering the Obama Administration’s continued strange strategies on the economy and foreign policy has us counting down the days to the next election. November 2012 can’t come soon enough.




- Sarah Palin

.

If Obama's strange decisions regarding the "Arab Spring" uprisings and throwing money at Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood does not disturb you, then you are either not paying attention or are an ideologue that would back Obama no matter what he does.


There are more good posts to read over at "A Time For Choosing," including a transcript of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Speech To Congress.

Even if you already heard the speech, please take a moment and go to above link to read it. THAT is how a true leader who loves his nation and thinks of America as a best friend speaks! It was such a breath of fresh air to read that transcript and view the video and hear Congress (most of them, anyway) CHEERING and CLAPPING about the words of Prime Minister Netanyahu!  It was especially gratifying to hear these two very important points:


1. Hamas must say the following words in order for the peace process to move forward: "We recognize Israel's right to exist."


2. Prime Minister Netanyahu rebuffed Obama's  ill-gotten plan to force Israel to go back to the 1967 lines.  Netanyahu's response?  IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!


Because Hamas has the call for the destruction of Israel in its written charter, we know that they most likely would NEVER say those six words in point #1. Therefore, it is unlikely that the peace process would move forward with that terrorist organization in charge of the Palestinian territories.


Back to Sarah and the Republican candidates for president.


No matter who becomes the Republican nominee for president, the media of mass deception with do their best to ruin any Republican candidacy during the upcoming campaign. They are so in bed with Obama and pregnant with his awful policies, that we can expect them to never be objective during the 2012 race.  Luckily, the new media (blogs, facebook pages, Internet forums and chat rooms) have already alerted WE THE PEOPLE about the lamestream media schemes, and a majority of those who are wary and paying attention to all that is going on will not fall for their lies anymore!

It will not be to run on his record, because a speech listing the meritorious accomplishments of his first four years could be delivered by a mute, sans teleprompter. The goal will be to attack conservatives with cries of "racist" and "granny killers" in a campaign built upon subterfuge, slander, and misdirection, fueled by desperation and demagoguery. And the regime will be aided and abetted by a complicit, sycophantic media, Judas Goats posing as Bellwether Rams, bereft of journalistic integrity, derelict in duty and unashamedly open and unapologetic about it in these increasingly dangerous times.

Update!! One more late entry - "The Cure For Liberalism":

Missy8s commented:
Becoming a survivor of liberal indoctrination requires will and backbone, some have it and some never will…

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the liberals I cannot change, the courage to change the liberals I can and wisdom to know the difference.”

~Friends of John Q.

The 12 Steps To Recovering From Liberalism:

1. We admitted we were powerless over our envious and slothful ways and that our lives had become unsustainable through the coercive appropriation of the fruits of others labors.

2. We came to believe that a power greater than government could restore us to self determination and fiscal sanity.

3. We made the decision to turn our future and our lives over to the care of our own success and hard work.

4. We made a searching and moral inventory of ourselves.

5. We admitted to ourselves and our brothers that our salvation comes from the grace of God and our personal relationship with him.

6. We came to know that strength in spirit and character are not sustained by the gifts of government or collective reliance upon them.

7. We humbly asked God our creator to remove our shortcomings and to unshackle our brothers and sisters from slavery of the mind to the promises of the corrupt and powerful.

8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed through our complicity in wresting their liberty from them and became willing to make amends to them all through our works.

9. We made direct amends to such people as were enslaved to this progressive disease of interdependent mediocrity wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. We continued to take personal inventory our lives and when we were wrong promptly admitted it to ourselves before God.

11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood him, praying only for knowledge of his will for us and to share his word with others still searching in the darkness for the liberty and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to other recovering liberals and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

The first step to recovery from liberalism is acknowledging you have a problem and learning to conquer it.

That is TERRIFIC!! Pass it on!!

What The Rabid Left Can't Take Away From Sarah

Did readers here see Sean Hannity's exclusive interview with Sarah Palin last night? You certainly need to see it yourself in order to understand that the leftist vitriole against her is unfounded, yet will continue to be spewed by the hateful far left crazies and the Media of Mass Deception for the simple reason that they fear her. The left fears her wonderful connection with, and influence of the American people who agree with her ideology, policies, political views, staunch support for our military, and love for our country.

Glenn Beck's January 17th T.V. show reveals tha "Reality Doesn't Match the Script." Glenn demonstrates, and with video proof of Frances Fox Piven, shows just how far the left will lie and utilize the awful Cloward and Piven strategy - which will continue to be used in order to cause chaos and negative change in America. If you happen to be unfamiliar with Cloward and Piven and how this administration is using such evil strategy, please see my previous posts on the subject:

1. Obama Matrix: Cloward Piven & Alinsky Rules for Radicals.

2. Cloward Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis.

3. Make A Choice Before It's Too Late.

Through rabid vitrole and death threats against Sarah and her family, the left hopes to silence her. Well guess what? She WILL NOT BE SILENCED! Good for her! The woman has an iron constitution and nerves of steel to go with it! More likely, she is well connected through prayer to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She even said so during her interview with Sean Hannity.

Palin to Democrat-Media Complex: “I Am Not Going to Shut Up” (Video)

Sarah Palin told Sean Hannity tonight that despite the constant attacks by the democratic-media complex, “I am not going to shut up.” Palin defended herself on Hannity tonight from the awful attacks and sm...

Sarah Palin is a believer who obviously takes Romans 8 seriously:


Rom 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?


Rom 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?


Rom 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.


Rom 8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.


Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?


Rom 8:36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."


Rom 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.


Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,


Rom 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Why do they fear Sarah so greatly and continue to bombard her and her family with angry rants and death threats? Because they know that she represent those who cling to the Lord Jesus Christ and they hate all that she represents for the American people! Sarah isn't using God - He is using her, instead.

That is truly what the rabid leftist thugs and venom-spewing commentators can NEVER TAKE AWAY FROM SARAH AND HER FAMILY!

God bless you Sarah! You stand up against the powers of darkness because the Rock of Ages indwells your heart and soul. You are the Esther of our age! Praise God that you are here for us fellow Americans for such a time as this!
