Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us

Happy New Year everyone! While searching for a great message to share as we enter a new year, I found that the following devotional from David Jeremiah.org was the best one. Despite all of the turmoil going on in our world today, we can still have peace and comfort - knowing that our God is with us - today, and always. He will see us through the storms of this life and we can rest safely in Him - no matter what this world throws at us.

Have a safe, happy, and healthy New Year!
Sincerely,
Christine

Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the Lord has helped us."
1 Samuel 7:12

1 Samuel 7:5-12


Dr. F. W. Boreham told of a scrap of paper that was framed and displayed in his parent's home. The words said: "Hitherto Hath the Lord Helped Us." One day he asked his mother about it, and she told him of a time when she and her husband faced a crisis. She was distressed for weeks, but one day as she paced back and forth she paused in front of an almanac on the wall.
"The only thing I saw was the text in the corner," she said. "It was as if someone had spoken the words: ‘Hitherto has the Lord helped us.' I was so overcome, I sat down and had a good cry; and then I began again with a fresh heart and trust."

What a great verse for the New Year! The same God who brought us this far will lead us on. He is our God in ages past and our hope for years to come. If we live in the light of eternity knowing our times are in His hands, we can face each day with a fresh heart and trust.

Hitherto has the Lord helped us.

Here I raise my Ebenezer; here by Thy great help I've come.

Obama's Kenyan Birth Evidence to be Revealed Today, Online

Update: [I.O., 12/31, 2:30pm CT: Ed Hale has sent an email stating that his delivery has been delayed until Friday, 1/2. We wait another day for what he has to show. We can be patient in light of how long we wait for Barack Obama to admit the truth of his ineligibility per Article II (and show us the whole truth of his actual Hawaiian birth certificate, besides).]

Permission to copy and post this article's text is granted, I.O., AW.

A private investigator in Hawaii has uncovered the divorce decree for Barack Obama's father and mother, which indicates they had "one child under the age of eighteen, born in Kenya." That is the report of Ed Hale of PlainsRadio.com, an Internet radio site which has focused upon the natural born Citizen challenges to Obama's presidential eligibility.Hale announced this during his evening Internet broadcast on PlainsRadio.com, Tuesday, 12/30 and confirmed it with I.O. in an online interview, later that night. He reported that certified copies of this documentation have been sent from Hawaii by the investigator to himself and four others. Hale is to receive his copy today, Wednesday, 12/31 and plans to post it graphically on the site, during the day. He will also discuss this on a special Internet broadcast, between 6pm and 10pm Central Time, tonight. The site streams audio as soon as it is accessed via Web browser.

The Texan Internet entrepreneur relates he got fed up with the lack of documentation on Obama and decided to discuss ideas with his radio audience. His offer to hire an investigator was met with piecemeal sums of money from listeners to his broadcasts. Hale said some of the information one would expect to find was not available. For example, documentation from Obama's mother, Stanley Ann's divorce to her second husband, Lolo Soetoro had vanished. Hale speculates, the reason this forthcoming 1964 divorce decree had not also been "scrubbed" could be that the divorce had been filed not by Obama's mother, but by Barack H. Obama, Sr. Thus, it may have been overlooked by any plumbers for Obama.

Hale does admit to incomplete certainty of his investigator's work until he receives it, partially due to the PI's accent, the telephone connection, and his slight hearing impediment. However, he is very confident of what he will receive during the day. Mark S. McGrew, who writes about Obama's natural born Citizen problems for Pravda.ru, accompanied Hale in his broadcast and also expressed confidence. McGrew had sought publication in numerous American news outlets, but they turned down his articles referring to Obama's apparent ineligibility. Russia's Pravda however, decided his effort to find and report the truth was not to be redlined.

As often related, Barack Obama, due simply to his U.K. citizenship at birth via his Kenyan father, is not a natural born Citizen of America, by definition and the original intent of that term. The Supreme Court has turned down cases which make this point, but according to a September decision in a lower federal court (regarding John McCain's eligibility problem) this would be due to a question of jurisdiction, until Congress is to certify the Electoral College vote on January 8. Further action is to occur, after this date. You may read about this in previous I.O. articles and the sites linked in its sidebar.

Meanwhile, on the question of Obama's place of birth, professionals dealing with documents and forensic evidence have testified that the online "certificate of live birth" provided by Obama is not identifiable evidence of American birth. Now, if Obama's parents' divorce decree states that he was born in Kenya (as his Kenyan grandmother has repeatedly stated) the second epistemological wheel is coming off his vehicle to the White House.Will Congress pay attention and do its Constitutional duty?

New Lawsuit Against Obama Filed

12/30/08: Press Release - DETERMINED to have the TRUTH regarding OBAMA that he is NOT “NATURAL BORN” and therefore NOT constitutionally QUALIFIED to be PRESIDENT BERG files a lawsuit on behalf of a RETIRED COLONEL The lawsuit is an “Interpleader” that shifts the burden of proof to OBAMA Further, OBAMA is named as “BARRY SOETORO” as that is his “real” name when he was legally adopted in Indonesia.

Quote from website:

(Lafayette Hill, PA – 12/30/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States which is pending in the U.S. Supreme Court [Docket No. 08 – 570] with two [2] Conferences scheduled on January 9th and 16th 2009, filed suit against Barry Soetoro a/k/a Obama on behalf of a Retired Military Colonel.

Berg today, with co-counsel Lawrence J. Joyce, Esquire, filed another lawsuit in Federal Court in the United States District for the District of Columbia on behalf of Retired Colonel Hollister against Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama demanding to know Obama’s real name and if he is constitutionally qualified to be President. Plaintiff, Gregory S. Hollister, is a resident of Colorado Springs, Colorado and Hollister has “standing” and needs a decision so he knows whether or not to follow any Order of Soetoro a/k/a Obama.

The suit is in the nature of an Interpleader that shifts the burden of proof to the Defendants, Soetoro a/k/a Obama and Biden to show that they are “qualified” for office.

Berg stated, “I am determined, on behalf of the 320 million citizens in the United States, to see that “our U.S. Constitution” is followed. Specifically, in the case of Soetoro a/k/a Obama, does he meet the constitutional qualifications for President ? I do not believe so based upon: 1) Obama was born in Kenya and because his mother was not nineteen [19], he was only “naturalized” and therefore, not qualified to be President; 2) Obama was legally adopted/acknowledged in Indonesia at the approximate age of six [6] and attended school as “Barry Soetoro,” [his step-father is Lolo Soetoro] for four [4] years – Indonesia did not have dual citizenship and to attend school, he had to be adopted or acknowledged and he became a “natural” citizen of Indonesia; 3) when he returned to Hawaii at age ten [10], there is a question if he returned through U.S. Immigration – (a) if he did, Barry Soetoro would have been given a “Certification of Citizenship” that would have indicated he was a “naturalized” U.S. citizen since he was a “natural” citizen of Indonesia; or (b) if he did not go through immigration, which I believe, then Soetoro a/k/a Obama is an illegal alien and therefore, not constitutionally qualified to be President and his three [3] years as an U.S. Senator were a fraud.”

Berg continued, “I am appalled that the main stream media continues to ignore this issue as we are headed to a ‘Constitutional Crisis.’ There is nothing more important than our U.S. Constitution and it must be enforced. I am encouraged that the U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled two [2] Conferences to look into the merits of our allegations. I know that Mr. Obama is not a constitutionally qualified ‘natural-born’ citizen and therefore, is ineligible to assume the Office of the President of the United States.

Obama, knows he is not ‘natural born’ as he knows where he was born and he knows he was legally adopted/acknowledged in Indonesia; is an attorney, Harvard Law head of the Law Review and graduate who taught Constitutional law; knows the Obama candidacy is the biggest ‘hoax’ attempted on the citizens of the United States in over 200 years; places our Constitution in a ‘crisis’ situation; and Obama is in a situation where he can be blackmailed by leaders around the world.”

Berg concluded, “I will continue my efforts until Obama either proves he is qualified or does the right thing and states that he is proud that he, an African American, received more votes than anyone else in the Presidential election on November 4, 2008, but because of things in his past, he must withdraw his name.”

A Russian "Prophet?" Don't Think So!

I don't know where to begin! In fact, I couldn't quite make up my mind about the title of this post. I may change it. Anyway, first you may need to read the article: As if Things Weren't Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S.
In Moscow, Igor Panarin's Forecasts Are All the Rage; America 'Disintegrates' in 2010

What were my first thoughts?

The guy is talking out of both sides of his a**!

Case in point. Read these two paragraphs:

For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument -- that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. -- very seriously. Now he's found an eager audience: Russian state media.

Now read this one:

"There's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur," he says. "One could rejoice in that process," he adds, poker-faced. "But if we're talking reasonably, it's not the best scenario -- for Russia." Though Russia would become more powerful on the global stage, he says, its economy would suffer because it currently depends heavily on the dollar and on trade with the U.S.

Now...pay special attention to this part:

"Though Russia would become more powerful on the global stage, he says, its economy would suffer because it currently depends heavily on the dollar and on trade with the U.S."

DUH! YA THINK???

My next thought was what a piece of propaganda sh** this guy is selling. (Pardon my asterisks!! )

Then, it hit me. Just like the ObamaBorg Bots who are patrolling the blogs and annoying Conservatives with their pointless drivel (Hmmm...reminds me of someone who often posts here! Hint: His initials are "ST!" - heh heh!) this Russian former KGB thug is utilizing the ole' Saul Alinsky strategy propaganda tool!

Can you pick out how many of the following apply to Panarin's propaganda?

According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”

Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.

Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people.
The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.

Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.

Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”

Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation.

Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”

Wow! Can you believe it? I can FINALLY THANK Obama for something! Turning my eyes towards understanding the mantra of the Marxist/Communist propagandist - Saul Alinsky - so that now I can clearly recognize such trash talk when it is being spewed!!

Hooray! (Mike will be happy to hear this...well...on second thought...NOT!)

I also wanted SO BAD to make fun of the guy's first name...Igor? I know, I know...it's probably as popular as the name "John" is in the U.S. But I can't help think of that movie "Young Frankenstein" whenever I hear about or read that name! Wasn't Marty Feldman's character named Igor?

Oh and Spud - it's a joke....you're supposed to laugh!

That was fun...

But now, it's time to get back down to serious business.

There are several blogs spreading the following information around, but in case you missed it please read Investigating Obama: Obama's Online "Birth Certificate" Is Not Evidenciary, Says Professional Forensic Document Examiner.

See? Told ya!

Excerpt:

However, the bigger story to this lawsuit is the fact that forensic document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines (pictured) has documented in an associated affidavit (PDF) the following:

2. I have reviewed the attached affidavit posted on the internet from “Ron Polarik,” [PDF] who has declined to provide his name because of a number of death threats he has received. After my review and based on my years of experience, I can state with certainty that the COLB presented on the internet by the various groups, which include the “Daily Kos,” the Obama Campaign, “Factcheck.org” and others cannot be relied upon as genuine. Mr. Polarik raises issues concerning the COLB that I can affirm. Software such as Adobe Photoshop can produce complete images or alter images that appear to be genuine; therefore, any image offered on the internet cannot be relied upon as being a copy of the authentic document.

3. Upon a cursory inspection of the internet COLB, one aspect of the image that is clearly questionable is the obliteration of the Certificate No. That number is a tracking number that would allow anyone to ask the question, “Does this number refer to the Certification of Live Birth for the child Barack Hussein Obama II?” It would not reveal any further personal information; therefore, there would be no justifiable reason for oliterating it.

4. In my experience as a forensic document examiner, if an original of any document exists, that is the document that must be examined to obtain a definitive finding of genuineness or non-genuineness. In this case, examination of the vault birth certificate for President-Elect Obama would lay this issue to rest once and for all. [emphasis mine]

The above clearly illustrates that it is impossible to determine eligibility based on the widely-circulated certification of live birth and that the only way to determine Barack Hussein Obama’s natural born citizenship status is to retrieve the currently-sealed certificate of live birth.

It appears that we’re dealing with an individual who has so much to hide on so little a document.

Laughter, Terrible Evil, Then Hope

I needed a laugh today. Seriously! Whenever I need to read something funny, I can always rely on my blogging friend and WorldNetDaily writer, Doug Powers to come through!

Check out his new column Abe and Mary Todd Obama over at WorldNetDaily.

Hilarious!

There are so many great quips to choose from. But the one that made me laugh the most was this:

Lincoln and Obama both rose politically in Chicago. Not a bad deal when Lincoln was climbing the political ladder in the Windy City, but for the past several decades, bragging that you ascended through the ranks in the Chicago political machine is like saying you were the best swimmer at the city sewer.

...best swimmer at the city sewer... HA HA HA!!!

Of course, the sobering part of Doug's column cannot be ignored. Some parts of the article relay hard truths (see below), - like the last two paragraphs of the column:

Also, both Lincoln and Obama facilitated emancipation. We all know about Lincoln's role in ending slavery – either as a primary objective or a byproduct of the end result of the Civil War, but Obama also played a role in emancipating many, many people. Because of Obama's pro-abortion stance, he has helped ensure that thousands and thousands of children are never enslaved.

In his book, "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom," David Kupelian nails the truth about the evil of abortion!

Please see Excerpts from Chapter 9 - "Blood Confessions: How Lying Marketers Sold America on Unrestricted Abortion."

Excerpt:

In truth, millions of people who think of themselves as "pro-choice" are victims of sophisticated marketing campaigns, designed to appeal to their deepest feelings about freedom and equality, while simultaneously hooking them through powerful appeals to their selfishness.

Understand that marketing evil is different from marketing blue jeans. In the commercial world, you profile people in your target market and map out strategies for selling to them. You're appealing to them, yes, but you're not changing them, just understanding their mental-emotional-cultural makeup and reaching in and pushing buttons to elicit the desired response.

In marketing evil, however, a much more profound process is at work. You're in the business of changing, seducing, corrupting people. And the way back is not so easy – because we all exist in a state of pride, which means we don't like to see we've done something wrong. So, once we've been tempted to cross the line – in this case, to have an abortion – our very consciousness and loyalties often change.

In the same way, many of the physicians who perform abortions have also been victims of sorts, pressured to do so by an amoral and cowardly medical establishment. Each in his own way has fallen prey to the appealing rhetoric of the abortion marketer who justifies their destructive acts and anesthetizes their consciences.

Let's take a closer look at how easily a person's conscience can be deadened and their perceptions tampered with:

As Dr. Brewer explained, medical students go against their conscience by learning to perform abortions because their residency chief insists they must if they ever want to become doctors. The residency chief is an authority, and authorities exert an automatic hypnotic effect on suggestible people. (Indeed, people's vulnerability to an authority's "suggestion" is a core principle of hypnosis.) And what makes the "subject" here suggestible? The fact that the med student's future career is at stake provides a strong inducement for him to give up his principles to fulfill the requirements for success in his chosen field.

When people are the victims of con men, they often are loath to recognize that they have been deceived, simply because they don't want to think they have exercised bad judgment or done anything wrong. In this example, once the medical student started performing abortions, before long he could no longer see that it was wrong. Moreover, the decreasing conflict he felt each time he performed an abortion is evidence of a movement away from conscience as his involvement progressed. This mirrors the pattern in all corruption – the first lie, the first act of embezzlement, the first rape, the first murder is always the hardest.

The Bible describes this seduction process whereby we ignore our conscience so we can obtain some perceived advantage, as well as the spiritual blindness that is our only real reward:


"Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."

– Acts 28:26-27

Thankfully, Mr. Kupelian ends the chapter with a message of hope (the REAL kind):

Despite all the clever marketing, this has been a story of great horror and injustice. But it is also one of hope. After all, if people who have performed thousands of abortions can find the courage and love to face the painful reality of what they have done in the past, and now embrace life rather than death, maybe there's hope that the rest of America can join in their confession and share their healing.

HOPE - the TRUE, GENUINE KIND - is found in Christ Jesus:

1Cr 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.


Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];


Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;


Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:


Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.


Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.


Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;


Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];


Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:


Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.


Phl 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and [my] hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether [it be] by life, or by death.

Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:


Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.


1Th 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

1Th 1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.


1Th 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.


1Th 2:19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

Blue Letter Bible

Our Nation Needs Another Paul Revere

So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,---
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.

That is what we need - a modern day Paul Revere to awaken this nation about the upcoming usurper in chief getting into office.

However, when anyone speaks out against the Obamamessiah - they must be prepared for vicious counter attack.

Without mentioning the websites or blog names, there have been some vicious attacks hurled at several that I often frequent. One website was infected with a virus. Several blogs were shut down. I have had two virus attacks at my computer stopped. Thank God for virus protection!

Not quite sure why, but the hits here at Talk Wisdom have increased by quite a lot since the Christmas break. This could be due to several factors, but no use trying to guess. Here is a copy of the counter recordings over the last 14 days so you can see the huge jump:

The last time this blog had a surge of hits like that was during plus several days after the election.

Just today, I attempted to join the discussion over at ObamaCrimes.com, but received an error message each time I tried to register.

Re: OBAMA - FMD -- GRANDMA DUNHAM
written by Karen, December 29, 2008




1. Good morning.

2. What's up with a ZILLION posts in the middle-of-the-night?? I get on to review what's been written since I went to sleep last night . . .and find I've got FOUR pages of posts to read. Don't you people sleep?

3. As I'm reading posts this morning, all of the sudden it HIT me: OMG, I think Obama LIED about the story in which he accused his grandmother of being a racist (and really Grandpa stanley accused his wife Madelyn of being a racist). And, Stanley said it TO teen Obama? What the He-- for? The only thing that would serve is to HURT teenage Obama. It serves no purpose. THEN, Obama says, in Dreams from My Father, that he ran to communist (not-to-mention 'swinger-sicko) Frank Marshall Davis (FMD) for comfort and counsel. FMD tells Obama: your grandmother is RIGHT to fear blacks. She know all whites have a good reason to FEAR blacks.

Incident: Grandma Madelyn Dunham was walking home from work one day and was the victim of an attempted "mugging" by a black guy. Stanley tell Barack that the REAL reason Madelyn is so upset IS b/c the mugger is BLACK. In Dreams, Obama says that was a turning point for him re: his feelings about his grandma. He said it hit him like a ton of bricks when he realized Grandmas was a racist. So then Barack runs off to his trusted mentor, Stalin-supporting Communist FMD.

Here's the problem: There were very FEW blacks IN Hawaii. The Dunhams were NOT racists. FMD (a black) was one of Stanley's best friends in Hawaii. NO ONE at the bank that Madelyn worked at for decades ever said she was even the LEAST bit racists . . .and the Dunhams CLEARLY trained their daughter Ann NOT to be a racist -- b/c she married a black man. . .and in the 1960s. In addition, CLEARLY the Dunhams (especially Toot) LOVED Barack. She worked her butt off to give him every advantage. SHE cared for Barack and was far more responsible to him, and for him, than his own mother, Ann.

WHY did Barack turn his grandmother into a racist during the election cycle? Why did he humiliate her in front of the world? NO ONE did more to care for Barack than MADELYN Dunham.

In addition, b/c there were very few blacks even living IN Hawaii -- remember, Barack was the only black kid in his cla*s at Punahow (sp?) school -- it is HIGHLY unlikely that IF there ever was a "mugger" that the mugger was black. . .just based on percentages. AND, even if the mugger was black, his race would NOT be the reason Madelyn was so upset. it would be the simple FACT of the mugging itself. Besides, IF Madelyn was so afraid of blacks, then WHY did they send Barack to FMD (a black man) from age 10 to age 18 for "mentoring."

Obviously I'm just thinking out loud. BUT, is BHO sooo sleezy he would TRASH his dying grandmother, who raised him and sacrificed for him . . .JUST to EXCUSE the vile behavior of Jeremiah Wright? Who in the world did the idiot Americans just "select" for POTUS?

Okay, returning to read back posts.

I wanted to tell Linda (if she doesn't already know this) that Jack Cashill of WorldNetDaily has done extensive research on the fact that the unrepentant terrorist, William Ayers, most likely was the ghost-writer of Obama's "Dreams of My Father" book.

I really wonder. Is there ANYTHING ABOUT OBAMA THAT ISN'T A FAKE, A FRAUD OR CRIMINAL IN NATURE??

Here are links to all of Cashill's articles and research on this subject:

Previous commentaries:
"Oxford don trips badly on 'Dreams' analysis"
"London Times inquires about 'Dreams' fraud"
"Science points to Ayers authorship of Obama's 'Dreams'"
"Ayers' role in Obama's 'Dreams' poised to break out"
"Barack Obama: Ayers' alter ego"
"Test shows Ayers penned Obama's 'Dreams'"
"Nautical metaphors could sink Obama"
"Obama didn't write 'Dreams from My Father'"
"Roots' fraud sets standard for Obama's"
"Obama's poems show real talent level"
"More proof Ayers ghosted Obama's 'Dreams'"
Read Cashill's three-part series on Obama's "Dreams":
Part 1, "Bill Ayers' motive for penning memoir"
Part 2, "Deconstructing the text"
Part 3, "Real author of Barack book: Why it matters"
Jack Cashill is an Emmy-award winning independent writer and producer with a Ph.D. in American Studies from Purdue.

People, have you ever heard of a president-elect not having to disclose proof (via a vault-length COLB) that he/she is Constitutionally eligible to be POTUS?

What's more, why has Obama been allowed to conceal all of the following history about his life?

I continue to ask the same questions:

Original, vault copy birth certificate — Not released
Certification of Live Birth — Counterfeit

THE MOST TROUBLING THING IS:

Neither BO or McCain are "natural born citizen's" and house resolution 511 is neither binding nor constitutionally correct...so just what are these people doing????

THis is no conspiracy, its about robbing the treasury, and leaving us holding the bag...SO SORRY Palin fans, but she was the only one brave enough to help McCain, and none of the other worthwhile candidates wanted anything to do with an UNQUALIFIED McCAIN...this entire election is proof America is asleep and has no clue whats going, ....

You said:

Good question. The call for a Con Con started many years ago, so I can't really say that was the original intent. Most of the states got their General a*semblies to pa*s resolutions in the mid nineties, when Clinton was in office. The New World Order was a growing movement then and I think there was a desire to get the US to fall in line with the world thinking, gun control, death sentence. etc.

Since then I believe that Barry and Da Boyz have seen a Con Con as a way to do just what you suspect. If he is allowed to be inaugurated, as he suspects he will because SCOTUS will be mired with issues of standing and other foolish legal nonsense his lawyers will keep throwing up as a defense stalling any real hearing of evidence. If two more states request a Con Con, then Congress, controlled by the Dems will act quickly to call for the Convention. All the articles they want to change have been already written and no one will be able to stop them.

We have to do everything we can to stop every state from requesting a Con Con NOW. New a*semblies start right after the New Year and I'm sure the fix is in to get a Con Con on the agenda of every state they can. Contact your State legislators TODAY and find out what they plan to do if it is brought up. Tell them to vote NO and tell them why. An amendment can be made without a Con Con so don't let them tell you it is necessary.

Wake up America.

[Note from Christine: I had heard about this "Constitutional Convention" before. I just didn't realize how dangerous it would be in the hands of the liberals Dems!]

Paul Revere's Ride
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."

Then he said "Good-night!" and with muffled oar
Silently rowed to the Charlestown shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where swinging wide at her moorings lay
The Somerset, British man-of-war;
A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon like a prison bar,
And a huge black hulk, that was magnified
By its own reflection in the tide.

Meanwhile, his friend through alley and street
Wanders and watches, with eager ears,
Till in the silence around him he hears
The muster of men at the barrack door,
The sound of arms, and the tramp of feet,
And the measured tread of the grenadiers,
Marching down to their boats on the shore.

Then he climbed the tower of the Old North Church,
By the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread,
To the belfry chamber overhead,
And startled the pigeons from their perch
On the sombre rafters, that round him made
Masses and moving shapes of shade,--
By the trembling ladder, steep and tall,
To the highest window in the wall,
Where he paused to listen and look down
A moment on the roofs of the town
And the moonlight flowing over all.

Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the dead,
In their night encampment on the hill,
Wrapped in silence so deep and still
That he could hear, like a sentinel's tread,
The watchful night-wind, as it went
Creeping along from tent to tent,
And seeming to whisper, "All is well!"
A moment only he feels the spell
Of the place and the hour, and the secret dread
Of the lonely belfry and the dead;
For suddenly all his thoughts are bent
On a shadowy something far away,
Where the river widens to meet the bay,--
A line of black that bends and floats
On the rising tide like a bridge of boats.

Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride,
Booted and spurred, with a heavy stride
On the opposite shore walked Paul Revere.
Now he patted his horse's side,
Now he gazed at the landscape far and near,
Then, impetuous, stamped the earth,
And turned and tightened his saddle girth;
But mostly he watched with eager search
The belfry tower of the Old North Church,
As it rose above the graves on the hill,
Lonely and spectral and sombre and still.
And lo! as he looks, on the belfry's height
A glimmer, and then a gleam of light!
He springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns,
But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight
A second lamp in the belfry burns.

A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark,
And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark
Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet;
That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight,
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.
He has left the village and mounted the steep,
And beneath him, tranquil and broad and deep,
Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides;
And under the alders that skirt its edge,
Now soft on the sand, now loud on the ledge,
Is heard the tramp of his steed as he rides.

It was twelve by the village clock
When he crossed the bridge into Medford town.
He heard the crowing of the cock,
And the barking of the farmer's dog,
And felt the damp of the river fog,
That rises after the sun goes down.

It was one by the village clock,
When he galloped into Lexington.
He saw the gilded weathercock
Swim in the moonlight as he passed,
And the meeting-house windows, black and bare,
Gaze at him with a spectral glare,
As if they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon.

It was two by the village clock,
When he came to the bridge in Concord town.
He heard the bleating of the flock,
And the twitter of birds among the trees,
And felt the breath of the morning breeze
Blowing over the meadow brown.
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be first to fall,
Who that day would be lying dead,
Pierced by a British musket ball.

You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,---
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
>From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.

So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,---
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.

Flight 93's Crescent of Betrayal

If you ever doubted that the Media of Mass Deception is being highly controlled by someone, I think that just this one example might change your mind.

While flipping through the typical news channels, I first heard about Flight 93 Families Ask Bush to OK Land Seizure for Memorial.

Even CNN had a brief segment about this subject.

The trouble is, NOT ONE WORD was shared about the controversy over the design of the memorial that would be placed there!!!

Isn't that VERY STRANGE???

Here are my two previous blogposts about the controversy:


Islamic Symbolism in Flight 93 Memorial???

Crescent of Betrayal Controversy

Please see this video.

Oh wait...IT'S NO LONGER AVAILABLE! How about that???

Zombietime has diagrams to show exactly why objections are being made about the memorial plan. Be sure to click on the additional links there. Especially the one called Flight 93 Outrage. That one depicts the fact that although the "architects" changed the design somewhat - it STILL looks like an Islamic crescent. Even worse, the memorial itself would be oriented towards Mecca!!

Need any more proof?

I'll keep looking.

More at Strata-Sphere.com. Read the comments, too.

Here is a link to another page and a link to a petition against this awful design that you can sign.

The Error Theory blog has a very comprehensive analysis of the "Crescent of Betrayal."


Read A letter from Tom Burnett Sr, (whose son died on the plane): Please sign our petition to stop the Flight 93 Memorial.

If I recall correctly, I also read (in a previous article or blogpost) that the land owner does not want to sell the land because he either sympathizes for, or agrees with Tom Burnett Sr. - that the current Islamic design is UNACCEPTABLE!! I still need to locate the article where I read that.

Israel Needs Prayer More Than Ever

I have often believed that Israel needs a strong leader again. They need a man like Benjamin Netanyahu. Each time I have heard him speak on the issues (during T.V. interviews on Fox News) that Israel faces on a daily basis, I have prayed that the people of Israel would see that he is the kind of leader they need and vote him back into office.

The terribly horrendous missile attacks being launched into Israel by Hamas terrorists reiterates the need for strong, decisive action and yes - retaliation. This requires a knowledgeable and strong leader like Netanyahu. We have seen the inaction and terrible land give-aways that Barak and Olmert have done over the years. IMO, their weak leadership has led to this current escalation of war.

Radical Islamic terrorists - no matter what their title name (e.g. Hamas) are bent on destroying Israel. They will never give up, never relent and never compromise their goals with any treaty of peace.

Just as the kamikaze Japanese pilots of WWII, they would rather die as suicide/homicide bombers than let the enemy live. The only recourse is to destroy them.

I know. Liberals tend to think that they can be "reasoned" with.

Somehow, I absolutely doubt that.

When a mind has been brain-washed in such an evil manner that the call of their radicalism of "death to Israel" is more important than life here on earth (for both the Jews and the individual radical muslim terrorist who cheers martyrdom for themselves); then there can be no form of negotiation that would work.

Joel Rosenberg's blog has a very informative post with several good links that will give you the details of this recent Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

Rosenberg brings up Netanyahu in his essay:

This is a key message point of opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been urging Olmert to launch an invasion and stop the violence immediately rather than merely repeat empty threats. “I do not know of a country that would be hit by this many missiles and not do anything,” Netanyahu said Wednesday. “We must stop being hit and attack in order to renew our deterrence capability and our national honor.” Netanyahu is currently leading in the polls in his own bid to be Prime Minister, in part because Israelis see him as stronger on defense than Livni and Barak. But should the current government launch an aggressive and effective assault on the Hamas terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, this could dramatically help Livni and Barak in the polls and cause Netanyahu to lose ground.

Rosenberg ends his post requesting prayer:

Please be praying for Israel’s current political and military leaders to have the wisdom and courage to the right thing to protect their citizens. Pray, too, that the Lord would raise of up more leaders in the Jewish State who will be like the “sons of Issachar” described in I Chronicles 12:32, men who “understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” Pray for the Israeli families who are suffering in many ways due to the relentless barrage of rocket fire from Gaza. Meanwhile, please pray for Palestinian leaders to effectively confront the Hamas radicals and shut down their terrorist operations. Please pray for all the Palestinian families who are victims of both war and terrorism. And please don’t forget to pray faithfully and consistently for evangelical Christians on both sides of the border and around the world to know how best to help Israelis and Palestinians who are caught in the crossfire and suffering as a result.

Update: Israel Retaliates

Barak says there is a time for calm and a time for fighting. Speaking at a news conference Saturday, he said "now is the time for fighting" and that "the operation will expand as necessary."

Comment over there:

Barak says it's time for fighting?

Obama's Plan All Along?

The more I learn about Obama, the creepier this past election seems to me. I will have much more to share later today, but wanted to point people in the direction of a post over at Sweetness & Light: What Has Been Obama's Plan All Along

Be sure to read it all. Quite telling! I agree with Steve Gilbert's conclusion:

That Mr. Obama was thinking this way back in 2006 is quite telling.

Moreover, isn’t it odd how we just happened to have an economic crisis that fits his hopes and dreams perfectly?

It’s almost as if it were tailor-made.

Of course, Obama had a lot of help.

Recall that post on the Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis?

Coincidence?

I don't think so!

And, when we consider the extensive research done by Jack Cashill at WorldNetDaily when he revealed that Obama's book "Dreams of my Father" was most likely written by William Ayers, it demonstrates how close the two were (and are) in their Socialist/Marxist worldview; and reveals how both hate America - especially our current American Capitalistic economic system.

I can hear Obama's typical reaction: 'That's not the author I knew!'

Hmmmm....There has been some speculation that Obama has lied about who his true father is. Recall that eerie photo morph of Malcolm and Obama! Also see Barack O and Malcolm X: Like Father Like Son?

Would Obama have spent one million dollars on teams of lawyers to prevent release of his vault-length COLB just to conceal that Malcolm X was his true father? Perhaps if that were revealed to the public before the election, many people would have looked at the history of Malcolm X and may have rejected Obama as a presidential candidate? Could it be as simple as that? How will the American people react if we discover this is the truth?

[Note: Uh oh...looks like there have been DEATH THREATS aimed at Israeli Insider because of the original post! Hit a nerve...perhaps?]

As I had previously written, there is some information that Mr. Jack Wheeler has gained (and has not yet released) that will present an "oh my goodness" reaction.

Here is the comment:

What's the Secret?
written by Tiza, December 24, 2008

Whatever BO is hiding is truly a secret and will shock everyone! I was reading an article from Atlas Shrugs where Pamela Geller was talking about a discussion that she had with Joseph Farah from WND and that he knows the true story of BO's birth, however, he will reveal it at a time that he chooses. I think for those who know it they are hoping that BO will reveal it himself, give himself a chance to come clean.

There is another person who confirms this, so I'll quote it for you. This person calls BO, "Zero."

On his To The Point News website, Jack Wheeler has divulged that he knows “the true story” about Obama’s birth situation, and it is “wild,” but he - and the contact person who also runs a major news site and told him the facts - are apparently not yet prepared to reveal this shocker to the public. Wheeler said he will let the source of the information reveal it in his own time. ”...The details of what he told me is for him to reveal when he chooses, not me. I can tell you it is OMG wild.”

***MUCH more additional and new information to come - check back.***

Update: Pam Geller's "Atlas Shrugs" post on the Malcolm X issue and much more! This is just too good not to include here!!

Seeing the Big Picture

Didn't really want to discuss the Obama citizenship issue on Christmas Eve, but there have been some developments that might give those of us who are questioning Obama's "natural born citizen" status some hope.

Over at Obama Crimes.com, I was reading through the last few pages of comments (there are over 7,000!!) and wanted to share the following ones so that readers will be up to date on what is happening over at the Supreme Court re: the Berg vs. Obama case. If the commenter is correct in what he has written, we might just see justice in this case, after all!

Ok—Now I see the big picture! Part 1
written by Tom Waite, December 24, 2008

In my previous analysis of the Berg v. Obama Supreme Court case, I said that the Supreme Court Justices were very sly by scheduling a January 9th conference date in order to discuss Berg’s Writ of Certiorari. Because just one day earlier, congress is to open up the Electoral College’s sealed votes from each state, count the votes and declare a presidential winner. But now there is a new development, which seems very perplexing at first but I believe I can shed light on this news and reinterpret it as a sign of political chess.

The new development is that on December 18, 2008 Berg filed an injunction (to stay the congressional electoral vote count on January 8, 2009 until Barack Obama proves his qualifications, i.e. that he was born in U.S.A.) and he submitted it to Justice Antonin Scalia. Now the very perplexing news is that this injunction has been granted a conference date of January 16, 2009! I know—you’re all rubbing your eyes in disbelief and also when you put into context that the inauguration is on the 20th of January, I have no doubt that you’re saying, what the [heck]?

Whenever I try to type a website on my comments, I never get posted on this blog, so I’ll creatively refer you to the following website, type in three ‘W’s’ and then a dot and then type ‘americasright’ then a dot and finally type ‘com’. Read the story ‘Berg’s Application for Injunction Curiously Moves On at Supreme Court’ under Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Jeff Schreiber (the person running this blog), is a law student and he can’t fathom the reasoning behind the Supreme Court’s decision to set a date to discuss Berg’s injunction that is well after the time congress will have counted the Electoral College’s votes. In doing so, Jeff feels this conference on January 16, 2009 to discuss Berg’s injunction will be a moot issue.

However, I see it differently, the Justices of the Supreme Court aren’t sequestered in some castle. The Justices know exactly what the issues are and are constantly being bombarded with similar legal applications to be considered regarding Barack Obama’s eligibility for president. As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, if the Justices wanted to dismiss Berg’s Writ of Certiorari they could have but they deliberately chose to discuss it 24 hours after congress officially counts the Electoral College’s votes; reason being Berg’s issue of standing will now be valid! Once Obama official wins the national vote (via the counting of Electoral College’s votes), Berg’s issue of harm being done to him by Obama now becomes legally valid it is no longer theoretical; thus Berg does have legal standing!

Now in a political game of chess, the Supreme Court’s manoeuvring of the January 9th date to discuss Berg’s Writ of Certiorari can be seen as a move of check against Obama. Obama is now in a corner but still can move his king chess piece and similarly with the Writ of Certiorari, Obama still could refuse to deliver evidence proving he was born in United States. I understand why the Justices set a date one week later (January 16) to discuss Berg’s injunction to stop congress from counting the Electoral College’s votes, this move can be seen as check and mate! Meaning Obama’s king can’t move in any direction on the chessboard, thus he’s trapped and has lost the game!

Setting a date to discuss the injunction on preventing congress from counting the Electoral College’s votes isn’t a moot issue; in this context any judgement is retroactive! So that even if congress has counted the Electoral College’s votes and have declared Obama the presidential winner; if the Supreme Court finds Obama ineligible to be a presidential candidate, they can retroactively cancel the results of the January 8th Electoral College’s vote count!

And that’s why the Supreme Court is allowing for a January 16th conference on Berg’s injunction to stop congress from counting the Electoral College’s vote on January 8th. It’s not a moot issue, it’s a very deliberate political game of entrapment or as in chess it can be seen as a move of checkmate. Because the Supreme Court is basically giving Obama no wiggle room to manoeuvre and escape from the January 9th’s conference of Berg’s Writ of Certiorari. The Supreme Court is ultimately saying to Obama, if you don’t hand over your evidence to us on January 9th, you will be forced to hand over your evidence to us on January 16th, otherwise we’ll retroactively cancel the results from the Electoral College’s votes that were counted back on January 8th!

Ok—Now I see the big picture! Part 2
written by Tom Waite, December 24, 2008

So now I see the big picture and the ultimate endgame that the Supreme Court has in mind for Barack Obama. Just like in chess, the winner is the person who sees many moves in advance; in this case the winner is the Supreme Court! They’ve set a checkmate legal trap for Obama, whereby even if there are no objections by any members of congress, the Electoral College’s votes are counted and Obama is declared the presidential winner on January 8th. The Supreme Court has deliberately chosen to wait until January 9th to discuss Berg’s Writ of Certiorari, whereby Berg’s legal standing (harm that can be done to him by Obama) becomes valid! And finally, the Supreme Court has made it perfectly clear to Obama by its deliberate action of allowing for a January 16th conference regarding Berg’s injunction to stop congress in counting the Electoral College’s votes; that unless he hands over his evidence to them on January 9th—they’ll retroactively cancel the Electoral College’s voting results from January 8th!

I’m smiling so much now because all this time Barack Obama has hired teams of lawyers to go to court and ask to dismiss all these lawsuits that have one similar theme—show proof you were born in the United States. But now because just one of these ‘nuisance’ cases (as Obama sees it) has made it to the Supreme Court, the Justices have already out manoeuvred Obama and his team of high priced attorneys. First, they’ve cornered Obama with a move of check by setting a conference date of January 9th (24 hours after congress counts the Electoral College’s votes) to discuss Berg’s Writ of Certiorari; the case can’t be dismissed—Berg will have legal standing! And finally the Supreme Court has made its devastating move of checkmate by allowing a conference on January 16th to discuss Berg’s injunction to stop congress in counting the Electoral College’s votes! There’s no more wriggle room left for Obama because essentially it’s a fait accompli by January 9th for him to hand over his evidence to the Justices otherwise, if he doesn’t comply by January 16th, the Justices’ will have it within their power to retroactively cancel the results from the January 8th Electoral College’s vote count!

So Obama tried to play a game of legal chess against the Supreme Court—well guess what? Obama—you’ve already lost! Checkmate!

I was extremely disheartened whenever I read that either Berg or Donofrio (lawyers in separate cases) were determined by the Supreme Court to "not have standing" in this issue. I think that commenter "Tom Waite" lays out the "whys" of the "does not have standing" decision - plus the fact that after the Congress opens the sealed votes and counts them - THAT is the moment that Obama OFFICIALLY becomes the "president-elect" and then ANY citizen would have standing against Obama for being ineligible for POTUS due to his NOT being a "natural born citizen" as required by our U.S. Constitution.

The following was another interesting comment:

NATURAL BORN CITIZEN DISCUSSION
written by SM Foyle, December 24, 2008


John Jay was a statesman, diplomat, first Chief Justice of the U.S. President of Continental Congress, minister to Spain, secretary of foreign affairs, and author of the Federalist Papers (with Madison and Hamilton)

Quote: New York 25 July 1787 Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise & seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.

Admission of Foreigners in national government? Only a natural born citizen as President.

This is what the first chief justice of the Supreme Court was concerned with and informed George Washington. It was added to the Constitution because of this.

Of course a natural born citizen can only be natural born if the person was born in a country whose parents who were born in the same county.

Then there is this:

What's the Secret?
written by Tiza, December 24, 2008

Whatever BO is hiding is truly a secret and will shock everyone! I was reading an article from Atlas Shrugs where Pamela Geller was talking about a discussion that she had with Joseph Farah from WND and that he knows the true story of BO's birth, however, he will reveal it at a time that he chooses. I think for those who know it they are hoping that BO will reveal it himself, give himself a chance to come clean.

There is another person who confirms this, so I'll quote it for you. This person calls BO, "Zero."

On his To The Point News website, Jack Wheeler has divulged that he knows “the true story” about Obama’s birth situation, and it is “wild,” but he - and the contact person who also runs a major news site and told him the facts - are apparently not yet prepared to reveal this shocker to the public. Wheeler said he will let the source of the information reveal it in his own time. ”...The details of what he told me is for him to reveal when he chooses, not me. I can tell you it is OMG wild.”

There are many, many more really good comments to read that will educate everyone about Obama and his sham presidential run. There are a few posts about the Cloward-Piven strategy (and chart) which I had discussed here at Talk Wisdom in previous posts.

The last one that I will share for right now is quite intriguing. It may end up linking the Blagojevich scandal with the natural born citizen case at the Supreme Court.

More good news
written by charlene, December 23, 2008

Orly Taitz spent 1 hr last week speaking with Pat Fitzgerald's asst in Chicago & spilled the beans about all she knows about BO. Also heard through the rumor mill (but can't substantiate it) that SCOTUS is secretly investigating thru FBI & DOJ all these phone calls & letters claiming BO is ineligible.

Let's pray that the rumor is true and the SCOTUS IS SECRETLY INVESTIGATING..

There are a lot more blog posts to read about all of this. Just check my sidebar.

Ultimately, everyone wants the truth to come out! I hope and pray that it does and that this issue will be resolved. That is all that opponents of Obama who question his "natural born citizen" status really wanted in the first place.

Update: 12/28/08 at 8:45 a.m. PT

Just learned that there is another lawsuit against Obama:

Hoosiers file suit challenging Obama's birth status
2 Hoosiers want results of election thrown out

Excerpt:

As officials in Washington prepare for the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama, two Indiana men have filed a lawsuit asking a judge to throw out the election results.

The suit, filed in Marion Superior Court, Room 10, is among five loosely coordinated challenges that question Obama's status as a "natural born citizen."


Gov. Mitch Daniels and the Republican and Democratic national committees are named as defendants in the Indiana suit, filed by Steve Ankeny, New Castle, and Bill Kruse, Roselawn.



These new suits take a slightly different tack than earlier, unsuccessful suits that typically have been tossed by the courts and generally considered frivolous.

The new suits challenge the governor and political parties for failing to uphold the Constitution when they certified the results of the election.

Although it is thought that the two men won't have "standing" in such a lawsuit, it is good that more and more citizens are objecting to the fact that Obama has not proven that he is a "natural born citizen" of the United States of America, and continues to snub his nose at all of the lawsuits against him that are requesting such proof by releasing his vault-length COLB.

The question still remains. What kind of person refuses to present a document that would cost him $10.00 or $12.00 to obtain - and instead - spends nearly a million dollars fighting the release of such a document?

Answer: Someone who has something to hide.

Whether it's the fact that he is not a "natural born citizen" or that Obama Sr. isn't his biological father - the arrogance of Barack Hussein Obama Jr./Barry Soetoro is unprecendented in the history of president-elects. Either way - one fact will remain. Barack Hussein Obama LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!

How long will the charade last? Only God knows for sure...

Christmas Stories

My family and I are all fans of the annual "A Christmas Story" movie. It is a comedy that is usually broadcast as a "marathon" on Christmas day on the USA channel.

The only criticism that I have about this movie is the fact that the family does not mention the REAL meaning of Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ. And, they do not attend church either on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day - something that most people in the 50's would have done as part of their family traditions.

Of course, the secularists in our society wouldn't miss such a family tradition.

Anyway, today I want to post two of my favorite Christmas stories. Even though secular America may want to leave Christ out of Christmas, true believers still get to enjoy the realization of our Savior's birth and what His birth, life, ministry here on earth, death at the cross, and resurrection to life means for our salvation.

The Candy Cane at Christmas

THE STORY OF THE CANDY CANE AT CHRISTMAS.

A candymaker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane.

He incorporated several symbols from the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church, and firmness of the promises of God.

The candymaker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It could also represent the staff of the "Good Shepherd" with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray.

Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candymaker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.

Unfortunately, the candy became known as a Candy Cane -- a meaningless decoration seen at Christmas time. But the meaning is still there for those who "have eyes to see and ears to hear."

Every time you see a Candy Cane, remember the Wonder of Jesus and His Great Love that came down at Christmas, and that His Love remains the ultimate and dominant force in the universe today.

Religious Meaning of "The 12 Days of Christmas.

"The 12 Days of Christmas"

~ Origins and Religious Meaning ~

Caveat: I've discovered that there is a controversy disputing the authenticity of this interpretation, just to inform you. There are some who have labeled this an "urban legend."

Also: I heard this on a Christian radio station today, so I do not deem it only a "Catholic" religious message. It is inherently Christian and does not add any false doctrine (as far as I can see) to Biblical Christian faith.

Note: The concepts symbolized in "The Twelve Days of Christmas," are not just considered Catholic, because these were basic articles of faith common to all denominations of Christianity.

*******

Background:

Catholics in England during the period 1558 to 1829 were prohibited by law to practice their faith either in public or private. It was illegal to be Catholic until Parliament finally emancipated Catholics in England in 1829.

"The Twelve Days of Christmas" was written in England as one of the "catechism songs" to help young Catholics learn the basics of their faith. In short, it was a coded-message, a memory aid. Since the song sounded like rhyming nonsense, young Catholics could sing the song without fear of imprisonment. The authorities would not know that it was a religious song.

"The 12 Days of Christmas" is in a sense an allegory. Each of the items in the song represents something significant to the teachings of the Catholic faith. The hidden meaning of each gift was designed to help Catholic children learn their faith. The better acquainted one is with the Bible, the more these interpretations have significance.

The song goes, "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…"
The "true love" mentioned in the song doesn’t refer to an earthly suitor, but it refers to God Himself. The "me" who receives the presents refers to every baptized person. i.e. the Church.

1st Day:

The partridge in a pear tree is Christ Jesus upon the Cross. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge because she would feign injury to decoy a predator away from her nestlings. She was even willing to die for them. The tree is the symbol of the fall of the human race through the sin of Adam and Eve. It is also the symbol of its redemption by Jesus Christ on the tree of the Cross.

2nd Day:

The "two turtle doves" refers to the Old and New Testaments.

3rd Day:

The "three French hens" stand for faith, hope and love—the three gifts of the Spirit that abide (1 Corinthians 13).

4th Day:

The "four calling birds" refers to the four evangelists who wrote the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke and John—which sing the song of salvation through Jesus Christ.

5th Day:

The "five golden rings" represents the first five books of the Bible, also called the Jewish Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

6th Day:

The "six geese a-laying" is the six days of creation.

7th Day:

The "seven swans a-swimming" refers to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord
.
8th Day:

The "eight maids a milking " reminded children of the eight beatitudes listed in the Sermon on the Mount.

9th Day:

The "nine ladies dancing" were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.

10th Day:

The "ten lords a-leaping" represents the Ten Commandments

11th Day:

The "eleven pipers piping" refers to the eleven faithful apostles.

12th Day:

The ‘twelve drummers drumming" were the twelve points of belief expressed in the Apostles’ Creed: belief in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, made man, crucified, died and arose on the third day, that he sits at the right hand of the father and will come again, the resurrection of the dead and life everlasting.

So the next time you hear "the Twelve Days of Christmas" consider how this otherwise non-religious sounding song had its origins in keeping alive the teaching of the Catholic faith.

Adapted from email messages,from "How To Decode the Twelve Days of Christmas,"by Hugh D. McKellar, U.S. Catholic, 12/1979, and from "‘12 Days of Christmas’ is no nonsense, but a serious riddle" by David Crowder, El Paso Times, 12/19/1993.

Note: P.S. It has come to our attention that this tale is made up of both fact and fiction. Hopefully it will be accepted in the spirit it was written. As an encouragement to people to keep their faith alive, when it is easy, and when any outward expressions of their faith could mean their life. Today there are still people living under similar conditions, may this tale give them courage, and determination to use any creative means at their disposal to keep their faith alive.

Letter to Rick Warren, from Joseph Farah

This column is adapted from a letter Joseph Farah wrote to Rick Warren last week about his agreement to offer the invocation at the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama on Jan. 20. In this letter, Farah focuses on just one of Obama's evil policies, (though there are dozens more we should consider): No restrictions on abortion, as in killing babies.

When Heroes Stand Tall

Christmas Cheer Pugs Video

Many readers probably already know that I am an avid dog lover. We had our sweet fluffy white American Eskimo - Heidi - for 17 years. She lived a good, happy, content and long life but when her health quickly deteriorated, she went to doggie heaven on August 8, 2008.

Each year, we place all of the Christmas pet ornaments that we have collected on our tree. They have our dogs names on them. This year was a bit sad, knowing that it is the first Christmas that our family will celebrate without Heidi. Of course, her ornaments are on our tree in remembrance of our beloved pet.

We have our cute puggle - Sasha. She has been with us for over 3 years now. She is such a joy to our family! She has the characteristics of a pug - cute, inquisitive, and very cuddly and loving. She also has the playful characteristics and "hunting" tendencies of a beagle. All the wild rabbits in our yard run when she comes out of the house! Ha! Of course, they are too fast for her and easily run to the bushes and out through the fence gate space.

The other day, my daughter sent me a link to the CUTEST 30-SECOND VIDEO OF 3 PUGS turning their heads as their owner asks them questions.

SO ADORABLE!!!

Sasha does the exact same thing - especially when I ask her, "do you want to go for a walk?"

Click on link above and enjoy! I guarantee - it will put a smile on your face!
