Will you vote against Obama’s war on The Soul of America and its religious freedom Tuesday, November 6th? In President Barack Obama's first term he took advantage of the 340,000 social conservative who did not show up at the polls in 2008’s presidential election. Armed with this free pass given to him, Obama has riddled America’s landscape with executive orders and legislation that abandoned congressional law on gay marriage, abortion, religious choice and many other issues.
Now, four years later in battle ground states like Ohio, Florida, Nevada, and Virginia he wants to complete his anti-religious assault on religious freedoms which are America’s bedrock. So one has to ask, what it will take to motivate social and religious conservatives to vote to preserve and to save America’s freedoms.
Understand this, that the race for the presidency is as close as it could ever be in swing states all over the nation. Gallup just released its final pre-election survey of likely voters on Monday, November 05, 2012 and Mitt Romney is holding onto a bare one percent difference over Obama. Romney’s 49% to Obama’s 48% truly means that ever religious and social conservative voter holds the keys to religious freedom in his or her hands.
What’s at stake is more serious than one might imagine.
Do you believe that your child’s right to be protected from being assaulted with pro-abortion literature in school or gay rights seminars in elementary school against your protests will be listened to, your wrong. School systems have already begun to implement this in schools across the nation.
The Catholic universities and colleges across America are under assault daily from the Obamacare edicts that mandate they obey the Obama pro-contraception insurance mandates. They are being forced to disregard their constitutional right to their religious freedom, or risk the legal wrath of Obama’s federal government.
In fact in Ohio, in May of 2012, Catholic University, in Steubenville, Ohio, decided to fight back against the attempt by the Obama Administration to strip their institution of its religious freedom. Catholic University refused to implement the Obama administration mandates that require a school use their health care plan to provide sterilization, contraceptives or other pregnancy prevention drugs to students.
Michael Hernon, the VP of Advancement at the University, stressed to Fox News in May that Obama Care’s mandates amounted to “moral and economic injustice.” This is clearly a deliberate and intentional act of war on America’s religious freedom!
What more evidence do you need than the very dismissive conduct portrayed at the August Democratic National Convention, where God was booed and denied on the convention floor. Democrat convention organizers under supervision from White House political operatives removed God from the convention platform. When it was discovered, Obama quickly moved to cover up the exclusion with denials from convention handlers. Soon after, Obama’s convention handlers brought it to a vote and God was booed and voted down several times by convention attendees.
The rejection of God in the original Democrat Platform which is a statement of the position of the Democrat Party and its President going into the fall election should serve as a true call to arms by America’s religious community. The move to remove God from the Pledge of Allegiance, abandonment of religious prayer in public schools, at public meetings and at football and other games is just the beginning. ( read more )
U.N. MONITORS/TROOPS.... IF YOU SEE THEM AT YOUR VOTING LOCATION ..CALL THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND COMPLAIN AND ASK THEM TO BE REMOVED AS YOU FEEL INTIMIDATED BY THEM.. IF YOU FEEL THIS WAY THEY CANNOT STAY AND IT GIVES LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT THE RIGHT TO REMOVE THEM DURING VOTING HOURS !!!! RE-POST VIGOROUSLY...THIS IS THE LAW !!
Whether or not you wish to conform and give in to all the hype about the fabrication of voter fraud, that doesn't make it any less real for true conservatives. All the proof in the world hasn't stopped the liberal media from using it to say that voter fraud is simply fearful wailing of a racially driven electorate.
Beware the errant voter fraud my son! Obama can't win by normal means, so he's obviously going to cheat us and stop us from claiming our prosperous America back! Who can deny us the greatness of Reagan's 1980's? Was that not a better time for all Americans compared to this social fascist that is now occupying the White House?
Every eye is on Ohio, and the possibilities of busing in dirty liberals in from Obama's state of Illinois. I fear we're missing other possibilities. if Colorado goes blue, I'd say its cause the few democrats in Wyoming, who know they cannot effect their sate, are busing over the border to add their illegal voices to that swing state.
We must be vigilant! Beware the busing fraud from your neighboring states, and do not let in the liberals, be they clean or dirty!
Benghazi isn’t the only White House cover up being exposed through leaked emails. State Department staffers aren’t the only career officials being blamed for President Obama’s inexperience, questionable judgment, and obvious cover up. A similar saga has just been exposed in the latest chapter of the green-energy crony-corruption scandal.
On October 30, The Daily Caller ran a feature titled: As many as fifty Obama backed green energy companies bankrupt or troubled. The piece cited the work Christine Lakatos and I did in our three-part “green-energy failures” series released in October. Immensely popular, the DC article was picked up by numerous sites, including Fox Nation and GOPUSA. That night, Newt Gingrich was on Fox News’ On the Record with Greta Van Sustren. After discussing the incriminating Benghazi emails, he pointed to another possible “October surprise.”
Gingrich teased: “The other big story, I think, that is going to break, is on corruption and extraordinary waste in the solar-power grants and direct involvement by the Obama White House, including the President, in the solar-panel grants involving billions of dollars, and I suspect that’s going to break Wednesday and Thursday of this week.”
His sources were dead on. The next day, Wednesday, October 31, at 1:30PM ET, we received a tip regarding the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s release of more than 150 mails, equaling hundreds of pages of convicting evidence, accompanied by a five-page “Memorandum” with the following subject line: “Update on Committee’s Oversight of the DOE Loan Guarantee Program: New Emails Show President Obama, Senior Administration Officials Misled American People about Role of President and White House in Program.”
Through the research and writing we’ve done, Lakatos and I were confident that there was direct involvement, after all, of the 26 loans (of which the majority were "junk" rated) issued through just the 1705 Loan Guarantee Program to 21 firms, virtually all of them had meaningful political ties (bundlers, donors, supporters, etc.,) to the White House and other high-ranking Democrats. Despite the obvious connection, President Obama has repeatedly denied any involvement. As it has done with Benghazi-gate, the White House, this time through Senior Advisor David Plouffe, while on Meet the Press (October 30, 2011), shuns responsibility for something politically uncomfortable: “decisions about the loan program were made by career officials in the Department of Energy on the merits.”
Likewise, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, while testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Committee in November of 2011, stuck to the talking points when, referencing the Solyndra debacle, under oath, he said: “I am aware of no communication from the White House to the Department of Energy saying to make the loan or to restructure.” More recently, March 2012, before the House Oversight Committee, Chu claimed: “we looked at the loans on their own merits.” At that same hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), pressed Secretary Chu on nine of the firms that received loans, revealing their political connections. Chu countered that the loans were based on “merit.” Yet Jordan was perplexed, “so if you weren’t helping your buddies, and you were basing your decisions on the merits of the loan, how do you explain the fact that 23 of 27 recipients of the loan guarantees were rated as junk status investments?” Jordan concluded, “If it wasn’t your political buddies, it had to be incompetence.”
Also under oath, in the July 18, 2012, Oversight Hearing specifically addressing Abound Solar (now bankrupt and under investigation for securities fraud, consumer fraud and financial misrepresentation), former Executive Director of the Loan Program Office (LPO), Jonathan Silver stated, “Because I am no longer at the department, I do not have access to the analysis done for the Abound project. As a result, I cannot comment in detail about the transaction, but what I can do however, is give you a flavor for what we try to do on this, and every project… The loan would have gone through multiple reviews independent of the loan program’s office, including detailed reviews by career credit professionals at DOE, and career staff at OMB, Treasury, and the National Economic Council.”
Silver then emphatically informed the Committee, “This loan––like all the loans underwritten by career professionals, supported by outside specialists –– it was reviewed by career professionals from multiple executive branch offices.” “It was not rushed, the review took place over several years.” “It was not given to friends –– indeed no one in the Loan Program had any idea what individuals were involved in this [Abound] or any other transaction, nor did we care.” The questioning continued. Silver was asked if he saw any evidence of pay-to-play during his tenure. Silver’s response: “None whatsoever, sir—as I say, almost nobody that I am aware of in the Loan Program even knew who the individuals were who had invested, either directly or indirectly, into these companies.”
During the October 11 Vice Presidential debate, when Paul Ryan challenged him on the oversight of the “$90 billion in green pork to campaign contributors,” Vice President Biden sang the same tune: “His colleague runs an investigative committee, spent months and months and months going into this. Months and months. They found no evidence of cronyism.”
Just last week, October 26, 2012, President Obama continued the ruse, when he told a Denver, Colorado news anchor that decisions made in the loan program office are “decisions, by the way, that are made by the Department of Energy, they have nothing to do with politics.”
Clearly the stories were coordinated, and were contrary to the obvious conclusions a thinking person would draw—which prompted the Oversight Committee to probe further. However, until the leaked emails were made public on Thursday, we had no proof. We needed the smoking gun.
The tale-tellers, at the least, “misled the American people,” behaved unethically, and may well be guilty of perjury.
Steven Chu, Secretary of Energy
The emails revealed that Secretary Chu may well have perjured himself—though as Jordan implied, he may just be incompetent. We’ve written extensively on the interaction of decision-makers in the Administration and its “buddies.” In the March 2012 hearing, Jordan asked specifically: “Did the White House call you about, talk to you about any of these…did someone from the White House talk to you, the Chief of Staff, someone from the White House, talk to you about these respective companies, involving these individuals?”
Our research shows involvement of then-White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley in the BrightSource loan—one of the projects Jordan was asking about.
The new emails show Chu personally issued orders to prioritize a project favored by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer—Unistar.
Email #13 shows that Silver wrote to Chu’s Chief of Staff in a December 10, 2010, email: “since Aldy [White House staff Joe Aldy] personally promised the edf management group [one of the sponsors of the Unistar loan guarantee project] that he would lead an interagency review of this topic, we should tell him that he should be the one to call and deliver the news.”
Email #14: “there has been a commitment from S1 [Secretary Chu] to Steny Hoyer on this.”
Email #15: “Just came down from the Secretary’s office. He is adamant that this transaction is going to OMB by the end of the day.”
LPO Credit Advisor Jim McCrea (possibly the source of this massive email leak, as his name is one of the most consistent in the email text), had hesitation about the project, stating in Email #16: “Ordinarily, over an issue like this, I would refuse to sign the credit paper and refuse to send it to OMB tomorrow but given the direct order I was personally given by S1[Secretary Chu]…”
Didn’t someone say the loans were not politically motivated and were based solely on merit? Oh, yes, it was the President who said: “they have nothing to do with politics.”
Jonathan Silver, Former Executive Director of the Loan Program Office
Silver (reported to be an Obama bundler and Democratic donor) resigned in early October 2011, amidst the Solyndra scandal. His claim that loan reviews took place over “several years” and that loans were not “given to friends” is perjurious.
First, the loans couldn’t have been reviewed over “several years.” Obama wasn’t President until January 2009. The Stimulus funds were made available in February 2009. And, the Solyndra $528 million loan guarantee (September 2009) was the Obama administration’s first, as part of the 2009 stimulus package. Solyndra was also the first company to go bankrupt in September 2011. Clearly, there was no “several years” in there.
While logic and simple math tell us that the loans were not reviewed over “several years,” the emails prove the rushed process. In the 350+ page Appendix II, the very first email is from McCrea to Silver (dated June 15, 2010)—subject line: 28 day clock. In it he complains about things being rushed. He opens with “I do not have a good sense of why the DOE and OMB agreed to a 28 day clock following Solyndra...” Though by the end of the page-long email, McCrea seems to concede: “I am not sure that the 28 day process is really as much of a constraint as it might appear at first glance.”
Again, we covered Silver’s involvement with many key players including John Woolard, CEO of BrightSource Energy. Silver is very well connected, having served in the Clinton Administration, he parties with Al Gore, was a frequent White House visitor and participated in meetings with Chief of Staff Bill Daley. Silver used his personal email account to conduct DOE business. But there is no hard proof there.
The following eight paragraphs is a revision from our original post with additional information:
Also found in Appendix II, early on (December 2009), way before the DOE finalized the $1.6 billion loan guarantee for BrightSource Energy (April 2011), we find that there was a strong push by Silver and others inside and close to the energy department in getting this loan approved .
We find a very suspicious email exchange about BrightSource that included CEO Woolard, Joshua Bar-Lev, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs for BrightSource, and the lobbying firm representing BrightSource, McBee Strategic Consulting –– as well as some unknown "energy-Democrat-tied participants":
- Steve McBee
- Jeff Markey
- Robert Simon
- Angela Becker-Dippman
- Michael Carr
- Stephen Ward
- Matt Brown
- Gabe Horwitz
We discovered that in 2009, Steve McBee alerted the masses with the following...
"Wanted to let you know that the BrightSource application appears to moving apace at OMB and has a fighting chance of getting over to DOE..." "DOE is another story. We are hearing that despite a strong push by Silver, Spinner, Rogers and others internally, the process is getting sideways by any number of bureaucratic hold ups and there is now real potential for consideration of the project to slip until next year...[or"redeployed to China]" "ANYTHING you guys would be willing to do with DOE in terms of moving the process would be deeply appreciated."
Joshua Bar-Lev in response says, "Do you all think we should have vantage point insist on mtg with chu or silver or rodgers? Should John and I try to fly out for something similar? Looking for some game changer but perhaps we’ve done all we could. Is dc shut down by the snow or is there some impact we could make? Joshua"
NOTE: We've covered Silver, Steve Spinner and Matt Rogers (all former DOE advisors) in previous posts, as well as Silver's "shady email practices." The “DOE Insiders," where plenty of “VC Guys” and “Gore Acolytes” held key positions –– a dozen on my radar, where at least a dozen on the "green corruption" radar, including these three.
Time out for a minute...as noted during Silver's testimony this past July, he made this denial: “...as I say, almost nobody that I am aware of in the Loan Program even knew who the individuals were who had invested, either directly or indirectly into these companies.”
So the question remains, if Silver nor anyone else knew, why would anyone seek help from Vantage Point? Who knows? But what we do know is that Vantage Point Partners is the majority stakeholder in BrightSource, and Sanjay Wagle was a principle. Wagle just so happens to be the “renewable energy grants adviser” at the DOE under Secretary Chu.
While we know that Silver had cozy relationships with quite a few of those seeking green-energy funding (like Al Gore and Woolard), the following emails confirm that lobbying the White House and the Vice President’s office achieves results, not only with getting a loan approved, but clearing obstacles with the Department of Interior (DOI) that put their entire billion-dollar project at risk.
Email #5, drafted by Bright Source CEO John Woolard for then-Board Chairman John Bryson to send to then-White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley: “This project is now at significant risk due to delays in permitting at the Department of Interior…”
Email #6, from Wollard stated: “we are making good progress in DC. Whitehouse [sic] does seem to be very focused on this issue, in fact it is being elevated through the office of political affairs as well as VP Bidens- so we are starting to get them focused on the massive political risk- it helps that Bloomberg called Ivanpah ‘Obama’s energy project’ so it does have their attention.”
Email #7, two weeks later, BrightSource got what it wanted: “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued their revised Biological Opinion, prompting the Bureau of Land Management to issue a new notice to proceed allowing continued construction at Ivanpah units 2 and 3.”
The BrightSource case reeks of political connections, yet we are supposed to believe the loans “had nothing to do with politics.”
Joe Biden, Vice President
Biden’s denial comes from his one debate of this campaign season, about which Diana Furchtgott-Roth writes for Real Clear Markets: “In Thursday's vice presidential debate, Joe Biden denied any ‘cronyism’ in the award of Energy Department grants and loan guarantees to encourage the development of renewable energy. Plus, he asserted that government-assisted green energy projects had a better ‘batting average’ than do projects backed by investment bankers. Just one problem: Neither of Biden's assertions was true. Plus, the Vice President himself had a role in the cronyism.”
Email #6, proves her point: “…It is being elevated through the office of political affairs as well as VP Bidens…”
Then there is Email #4: “Pressure is on real heavy on SF [Shepherds Flat] due to interest from VP.” Additionally, as we addressed, though not revealed in the emails, Bernie Toon, who served then-Senator Biden as his Chief of Staff, became a lobbyist for BrightSource Energy.
The White House and President Barack Obama
President Obama did keep himself somewhat isolated—having made fewer denials and being involved in fewer emails, however, he cannot be omitted from the discussion, as he was clearly party to the loan approvals. Plus, the emails show that DOE officials were pressured by the political interests at stake.
Email #1, from McCrea to Silver: “I am growing increasingly worried about a fast track process imposed on us at the POTUS level based on this chaotic process that we are undergoing…by designing the fast track process and having it approved at the POTUS level (which is an absolute waste of his time!) it legitimizes every element and it becomes embedded like the 55% recovery rate which also was imposed by POTUS.”
Email #2, from David Schmitzer, DOE LPO Director of Loan Origination to McCrea: “Jonathan just said at our staff meeting that, opposite the message received on Thursday, AREVA is now a ‘go” (seems on Friday POTUS himself approved moving it ahead).”
Email #3, from Silver to McCrea, encouraging him to remind a Treasury official of White House interest in now bankrupt Abound Solar: “You better let him know that WH wants to move Abound forward. Policy will have to wait unless they have a specific policy problem with abound.”
Despite Obama’s claim that the decisions regarding the loans had “nothing to do with politics,” it is clear that they had everything to do with politics—and not just his own. Loans were used to bolster Senator Reid’s re-election chances in the tight 2010 race.
Email #8, McCrea wrote: “Since this is not going to go into the DOE, and just to be clear, the translation is: Reid may be desperate. WH may want to help. Short term considerations may be more important than longer term considerations and what’s a billion anyhow?”
Email #9, Silver wrote: “I need some stats on how many projects we have funded or have in DD [due diligence] as a percentage of totals. Reid is constantly hit at home for not bringing in the federal dollars.”
If all of this were a novel, or better yet a dramatic feature film, we’d find it most entertaining. We’d leave the theater shaking our heads at the gall of the movie’s starring actor. Instead, this full-color story (White House, green energy, Silver connections) leads to red ink—money borrowed from China that the US taxpayer will be paying back for generations.
The coercion, corruption, cronyism and, cover up of the President's pet projects is really a horror flick, after all, the emails were released on Halloween. Each one of us is a victim of an expensive trick.

During dinner on the Rebuild America Defeat Obama bus tour, a fascinating discussion evolved amongst our team. Someone said he fears who we have become as a people; a nation in which a majority believes it normal to receive government-handouts. He witnessed people using food stamps to purchase extravagant foods. Someone else chimed in about the huge kiosk in the lobby of his daughter's elementary school encouraging parents to sign up their child for free lunches. Parents who can well afford to feed their child are on the free lunch program.
While their examples are anecdotal, my team members conclude that we are rapidly losing the self-reliant individual spirit which has made us great and are trending towards becoming a nation of takers; making government dependency the new normal.
Their negative prediction regarding the new America was pretty depressing. But as they spoke, my mind wandered to a story my 84 year old black dad told me about his first job.
When dad was around eleven, he and his buddy were shoe-shine boys at the Greyhound Bus station in Baltimore – Saturday night through Sunday morning.
Folks, Dad has had an amazing life with numerous achievements, some historical – first black Baltimore City Firefighter of the Year, first black paramedic, a pastor of numerous churches and an author.
And yet, when Dad told me, over the phone, about the salesmanship and creativity he and his buddy employed as young entrepreneurs shining shoes, I could hear in his voice the pride and joy he still felt about it.
Their deal with management was a dime base pay plus tips. Dad excitedly said, “The money was in the tips.” So he and his buddy made their customer's shoe-shine experience an entertaining show. They twirled their shoe shine brushes high into the air and caught them. They made rhythmic popping sounds with their shoe-shine rag.
After the shine, they used a whisk broom to brush down the gentleman's suit. Amazingly, there was always a little something on back of the gentleman's suit requiring a little extra effort to remove. They were always successful and gentlemen were appreciative.
On a good weekend, Dad made $1.25. He gave Aunt Nee, who raised him, 50 cents. He purchased a t-shirt. Dad said he bragged to his friends, “I am paying rent and buying my own clothes now.” In Dad's mind, he had become a man. What was the magic ingredient that made Dad feel so good about himself?
The answer is individual personal achievement.
Despite Obama's four year shock and awe assault demonizing entrepreneurs and individual personal achievement, I still believe a majority of Americans are cut from the same cloth as my dad. They do not hate the rich nor subscribe to Obama's plan to punish them. They garner pride and self-esteem from earning and paying their own way.
Obama's hate-the-rich rhetoric does resonate with a minority – the losers, the ungrateful, lazy and entitlement-junkies who showed up at the Occupy Wall Street protests. Think about that folks, these arrogant idiots have the audacity to demand that government confiscate the profits from entrepreneurs (risk-takers) to redistribute to them. And they call that 'fairness”. The day a majority of Americans side with such low-life scum is the day we cease being a great nation.
Obama's reelection campaign is geared to three groups, the clueless, entitlement addicts and racists. A black woman at a gas station was interviewed on Fox News. She said the high fuel prices are having a disastrous effect on her family's well-being, but she is voting for Obama because she agrees with everything he is doing.
Folks, I do not mean to be rude, but either this black woman is clueless and/or a racist. I suspect her support of Obama is a combo of both. She is voting for Obama because she is uninformed and he is black like her.
This election will define who we are as a people. Are we a nation of entitlement addicts and racists or do we still find great pleasure in using our creativity, ingenuity and will power to pursue our dreams?
I believe a majority of Americans are go-getters and dreamers like my dad. Barack Obama your reign of lowering-the-bar of what it means to be an American is over.

Howdy all! It has been a long time coming but it’s finally here!
So,..
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. ~ Ephesians 2:8
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. ~ Thomas Paine, The Crisis, No. 1, 1776
So many of you out there have been so busy working to gain the respect of your neighbors, confidence of those you meet in the store, at the train station, in the airports, at work, everywhere. You have walked door to door, called on the phone, networked on social media. You have done a tremendous amount of work. Why? You have been enlightened. You have been awakened. You may have missed what was happening to our republic before but are now absolutely aware, and now you realize that you don’t want it to pass into the dark.
To all this I say well done! There has been so much done by so many with relatively little means except a voice that has echoed through the ages. As Mark Levin calls it, the Paul and Paulette Reveres. Glenn Beck once spoke of the ‘refounders’; those who would be willing to step forward and revive the republic as the original founders had. He said he had 9 committed. I think that if asked now, he would say he had thousands if not millions. They are you. You all are the refounders of our nation. I salute you for everything you have done. So, what do we do now?
Monday. You may have the energy to work just one more day. If so, do it. You may be ready for a break. If so, spend that time in peaceful prayer. Pray for what will happen Tuesday. Pray for what will happen Wednesday. Pray for what will happen up until Jan 20. And pray for what will happen over the next four years. We all have learned that even the best intended citizen-statesmen and women can be co-opted. And there will be efforts to co-opt every single one. Pray they can withstand the efforts against them.
Tuesday? Watch. Watch with every sense. Watch with your eyes, with your ears, with your mind, with your soul. Whatever happens at the polls, be not afraid. Gather strength from distress. Grow brave by reflection. Those who may be present to intimidate or ‘observe’ are people of the business of little minds. Keep your heart firm. Keep your principles close to your heart. And above all, believe in yourselves. Believe that you are full of the strength God gave you. Take credit for your work in this election season, but take no credit for its outcome. That is God’s gift to us all.
Wednesday? Rejoice! I have already taken Wednesday off. A good cup of tea, a biscuit, and a shot of the finest single malt scotch you can find. And a good book. You deserve it!
Take care, God bless and especially at this time in history,
STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!

On Friday, in the closing days of the presidential election President Barack Obama encouraged his supporters in Ohio to head to the polls on Tuesday with hateful revenge in their hearts. He shouted out that this election result must be about revenge and not about America’s noble principles, values or even future. This runs counter to his post 2008 election, when he implored Americans to accept his word that he would usher in a new type of non-partisan presidency.
Instead Obama’s presidency and campaign degenerated into the most partisan Chicago-style thuggish character assassination campaign mugging the nation has ever witnessed
Obama used revenge as his clarion call to battleground state, Ohio, to top off the last hours of his campaign. Is hate and revenge truly what undecided voters are searching for? Should Americans embrace the insidious nature of his closing argument for the courtroom of the American public? Consider how the true nature of Obama has lowly become unmasked. His hate-filled attack ads were reminiscent of his religious mentor and teacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Why should Americans be surprised? This president lied about being present when his religious mentor Rev. Wright spoke with venom in his voice about hate. Remember, in 2003 he shouted from his pulpit, “God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America!” Obama after doing some fancy verbal footwork, around the issue, quickly threw Rev. Wright and his association with him, under the bus.
So, Obama is not unfamiliar with hate or with use of revenge as a useful tactic. Contrast Obama's behavior with Romney’s revenge voter edict. Romney insisted that Americans should go to the polls on November 6th, “to vote “for love of country!”
Imagine that, “love of country.” Not unique for a true leader who truly loves his country. Not unique for a presidential candidate who believes in building up a nation and its future instead of a president stumbling through four years of mediocrity, incompetence and multi-trillion dollar deficits.
But think about it a minute. What was President referring to when he asked supporters to take revenge to the polls on November, 6th? What type of revenge could he be considering? After all the “Blame Bush” rhetoric is a dog that will not hunt anymore. Could it be a diversion away from his unwillingness to leave no one behind in the murders of four Americans in Benghazi? Could it be that the October surprise is that Islamic world tour apologies will no longer cut it with the American public, grown tired of excuses?
Worst yet, could President be a real life Manchurian Candidate who through is youthful foreign travels and Muslim upbringing is truly contemptuous of America as a Judeo-Christian nation? So consider again the narcissistic placement of the word “revenge” in taking it to the polls on November. Is Obama a possible foil for socialism or other “ism” that was hatched by his ideological mentor and admirer of Satan, Saul Alinsky? In fact it was Saul Alinsky who gave a supportive nod in his book, “Rules for Radicals to Satan. ( read more )

MORALS and SOCIAL MESSAGE CANDIDATES: VOTE THE DECALOGUE!
We are living Deuteronomy 28. His story repeats itself every so often. How can we ask God to bless U.S. if we won’t do what He asks? II Chron 7 says “IF”.
America has a dilemma; as Americans we need to start thinking about where we are; where we came from; and where we are going.
As many have stated, we are about to have the most important election in our history. Which way we vote is an important factor; what are we voting for?
What do we want them to do for us?
Many say we desire a form of socialism; and many say we like the idea of free trade/ old fashioned earn it ourselves policies. I believe we need to take a good look at the policies of where we came from; and where we are headed before we vote.
I worked in a black family’s home one day after Mr Obama came into office. This lady claimed to be Christian, the lady was apologetic for Mr O when she said “he made some mistakes”. How he exponentially increased abortion was one of them. I am not racist because the lady is black either. She just voted for him because he is black or mixed race. She did not consider her Christianity, or his policies; so I think America needs to think a little about what people should vote for.
I think America looks at how handsome or pretty they are rather than the morals of the politicians. Consider Bill Clinton.
When America was young we were shocked easily, seldom did people curse or swear. If politicians did use foul language, it was when and where the public could not hear readily.
America still considers ourselves a Christian nation by approximately 80% and as professing Christians, we should be aware of our voting habits, because we will stand before GOD and give an account to Him for what we say we want done.
As a nation, we went to war against what was the greatest, strongest nation on earth, at the time; and won; because we were practicing Christianity. HE has been good for us. We practiced good morals; “people did the right thing” as we went about our business. Doors and locks were left open; today we cannot do that.
Why do you think that is?
We have forgotten our maker! We pay him no mind! Prophecies happen every day and few even think about it or recognize them.
What I am trying to say is vote the Decalogue. That will happen when we realize how. We start by identifying the morals of our Representatives and “Executive branch. The “Supreme” Court will be a gradual thing which will be determined by the morals of the constituency; if we last long enough.
When an executive branch endorses a homosexual life style, or abortion on demand, or lying to Congress or any of the other things we see today, you know that Christian constituency is not as Christian as we claim to be.
We, as a nation are headed for an aristocrat type government; the super rich; and the destitute. Similar to what Communism is.
John Stormer wrote about people trying to get free from where they came from.
It doesn’t even make sense ‘till we realize we have left out something; … God. Like Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Billy Sunday, and a host of other spiritual advisers say, that place in an individual that is God shaped.
We know some thing is wrong, we can’t put our finger on it but we still know that something is wrong. We are not thinking about History; His Story.
Well… I have some thoughts also; they go like this:
Some Americans still vote; When we vote for those we want to represent us, and
For Presidents and Senators; we are actually voting for what type government we want. When Mister Obama acquired his office, many thought he would do what he said he would do. Well, he did some of the things he said; raised the cost of gasoline and other fuels. Then he gave great strength to the abortion industry.
I do not recall him saying anything about taking away our rights to practice our faith the way our Creator laid down for us in His Bible.
I remember the “yes we can” chant; but I don’t think we can. We can’t honor our
God and Practice homosexuality we can’t honor our God and deny the freedoms outlined in our Bible and how can we honor our God and deny our faith when 80% of America claims Christianity?
When we vote, how can we say we are Christians when we are calling for the killing of children in the womb?
Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Now tell me what we are supposed to do when that same 80% claim abortion is a “right”, or accepted by that same God? You know where I’m going with this. Now he called for homosexual marriage. What can be next?
We need to be asking ourselves what we are voting for and what the occupier is making us do. Mr Obama has called for an exponential increase of abortion; he got it. God has other things He does not like; such as throwing public money away. I think the Scripture is in Proverbs; about not wasting.
Then we have people in America who; are causing people to think something other than the truth so people cannot defend their selves in racial issues. That is called lying.
There are numerous things I am speaking of as I post these views; they can be read in a book:
Deu 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. (That land was the U S A .)
Deu 5:17 Thou shalt not kill.
I think this actually should be translated Murder; and includes children
We should be aware of the fact we are calling for these things when we vote. I don’t think people are aware of the consequences of elections.
(Abortion is a product of the courts “voted”) How can we be? Mr Obama signed an abortion bill as the first thing he signed as he rushed President Bush out of office. Mister Obama signed it very quickly.
Deu 5:18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
Deu 5:19 Neither shalt thou steal.
Deu 5:20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Deu 5:21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
In the United States of America!
We need to consider what HE was teaching us as Moses said:
Deut 5:5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
Deu 5:7
Deu 5:8
Deu 5:9
Well, Pandora’s box has been opened; what do we do now?
At least we can vote with morals .
Deu 5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
This seems to be common practice in both our houses of Congress today.
Deu 5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
Tell me; WHY should God bless us?
We murder babies in the womb like they are being sacrificed to Moloch; we lie cheat and steal on our taxes; we vote for those that murder in the womb; we don’t believe God any more.
We need to repent!
All I can say is VOTE 11/6 so we can get an AMERICAN back in the White House........
Yes there are a lot of pictures but they are important to the message at the end.
No words needed
No words needed, but read the ending!
THE MOST STUPID STATEMENT EVER BY A PRESIDENT-Unbelievable
THIS MOST UNBELIEVABLE PRESIDENT? HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO REQUIRE THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES. Bad press, including major mockery of the play by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 billion annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.
"Look, it's an all-volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute..." "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country, "Obama continued "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit..I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans.."Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?"
GO TO HELL "obama" !!!
God bless you and your wife Taylor Morris I salute you!!

What’s disgusting and unforgiving about this picture? You Decide:
Posted on WND.com-By DREW ZAHN-On November 4, 2012:
“Documents obtained by former Muslim Brotherhood member Walid Shoebat reportedly demonstrate the Obama administration is to blame for the deaths of Americans in the Benghazi consulate attack because it effectively empowered the Islamic terrorist organization al-Qaida to take over governance of Libya.
Shoebat reports a group of anti-al-Qaida Libyans in exile have come into possession of some highly classified documents that, in their view, “will bring the Obama Administration down.”
“Obama gift-wrapped Libya, handed it over to al-Qaida,” the group asserts, “and we can prove it.”
The group has already provided the copy of a letter that, as WND reported, suggests the Obama administration approved assigning a member of al-Qaida to handle security at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli.
“The rest [of the documents],” Shoebat’s sources say, “will be provided when Mitt Romney is in office. His election is our only hope for humanity.”
But Shoebat has provided a glimpse into the evidence that is reportedly on its way: “They include passports of al-Qaida operatives and identifications of terrorists from many nations – Chad, Egypt and Pakistan to name a few – which are now all camped in Libya as they enter by crossing borders guarded and managed officially by what they called ‘government appointed al-Qaida leaders.’”
Shoebat says claims there are “countless documents,” which will soon be turned over to the National Center for Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism.
“They show evidence of bribes [see image at right] by the government to top officials, weapons dealing and bank siphoning by al-Qaida operatives, to include copies of bank transactions that illustrate the subordination of the newly established Libyan government to al-Qaida,” Shoebat asserts. “These included [Osama] bin Laden’s personal driver Sufyan Gammou and Abdul Wahhab Hassan Qayed, the brother of the recently assassinated Abu Yahya al-Libi. Qayed was officially put in charge of Libyan border control. This arrangement is responsible for the passage of large amounts of al-Qaida operatives into Libya.”
Shoebat’s sources claim the documents demonstrate that the terrorist attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi were not merely the result of an intelligence failure, but of negligent, willful ignorance of al-Qaida’s influence in Libya.
“It wasn’t failure,” these pro-U.S. agents reportedly said, “but the Libyan government’s mafia-like system, subordinate to al-Qaida and installed with the blessings of the Obama administration that is responsible for the deaths of Americans in Benghazi.”
The Benghazi controversy has been developing since Sept. 11 when on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in an organized terror attack.
While evidence now indicates the White House knew almost immediately it was an organized, planned terrorist attack, for weeks officials blamed the deaths on Muslim anger over a trailer of an online movie critical of Muhammad.
Reports now have emerged that there were orders for the U.S. military to stand down and not respond to calls for help from Benghazi.
Shoebat is the grandson of the Muslim mukhtar, or village head, of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem, who was a friend of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj-Ameen al-Husseni, an ally of Adolf Hitler.
After serving as a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and participating in acts of terror against Israel, Shoebat studied the Tanach, the Jewish Bible, in a challenge to convert his wife to Islam.
Six month later, he says, he realized that everything he “had been taught about Jews was a lie.”
Convinced he had been on the side of evil, he became an advocate for his former enemy.”

Speaking in Springfield Ohio, Barack Obama mentioned Mitt Romney. As soon as he mentioned Romney's name, the crowd began to boo. Obama told the crowd:
“No, no, no. Don't boo, vote. Voting is the best revenge.”
Speaking in New Hampshire, Romney told supporters how Obama had said that voting would be their "best revenge" against Romney:
"Vote for revenge? Let me tell you what I'd like to tell you: Vote for love of country. It is time we lead America to a better place."
This is but one snapshot highlighting the difference between Americans and “progressives”.
The choices Americans have on Tuesday November 6, 2012 fall into two distinct categories. The difference between these two philosophies is so clearly defined that it should be easy for Americans to decide where their sentiments lie.
The Declaration of Independence was a radical document because for millennia mankind had been ruled by monarchs, Caesars, Czars, or similar forms of dynastic oligarchies determined by bloodline. The universally accepted school of thought was that Kings, Queens, Emperors or Caesars were anointed by God, or were even gods themselves. Only monarchs or nobilities appointed by monarchs owned anything. They "allowed" the "common people" to work the land as serfs, indentured servants or as slaves. But "common people" were never "allowed" to own property. All they produced belonged to the monarch and was the monarch’s for the taking.
America's Founding Fathers disavowed this view of society.
They declared that all men are created equal, that in effect, all men are kings. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They declared that people could govern themselves without a monarch or an oligarchy ruling over them.
This was a radical departure from centuries old norms. They envisioned a system which allowed "common people" to own property without first obtaining permission from a "divine" ruler. Anyone could come to America, work hard, earn money, save it and buy property.
Those who rebelled against the Royal British Crown knew that if they failed in their endeavor, they would all hang. Yet, "with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence" they pledged to each other their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor.
The Declaration of Independence was the mission statement for the United States Constitution.
Yes, the Constitution established an imperfect government, which among other flaws still allowed slavery. Yet at that point in history, the original 13 colonies could not have formed one nation capable of maintaining a semblance of unity had they not reached the 3/5ths compromise. But the Founding Fathers were wise when they wrote the Constitution. They ensured that the Constitution could be amended, so that in time slavery and other injustices could be altered through an orderly process which provided change that enjoyed overwhelming bi-partisan support.
The Marxist school of thought is in direct opposition to the uniquely American concept that everyone has the right to own private property. How would Americans react if, after years of struggle, they finally owned their own home, then government "informed" them that it did not belong to them, that it belonged to "all the people" and Americans had to let strangers live on their property whether they liked it or not?
If an all-powerful, big government oligarchy is allowed to seize private property in this manner, as in the concept of "social justice" or "economic justice", America is dead.
The real philosophical divide in the United States lies between the intent of America’s Founding Fathers and the intent of “progressives”, who favor the Marxist view.
The American idea, the shot heard round the world, is that We The People can govern ourselves. By the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God we are entitled, by virtue of our humanity, to the maximum amount of Individual Liberties consistent with law and order, and to the Right of private ownership, not the least of which is the Right to own and decide for ourselves. These Liberties and Rights are to be equally protected by a constitutionally limited, representative government that derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.
This is a distinctly exceptional American idea.
The “progressive” idea is that an all-powerful centrally planned government, with extreme hostility towards private ownership, forces redistribution of wealth in the name of social or economic “justice”. In order to ensure “fairness”, an oligarchy of self-imagined, self-appointed "intellectual elites" will control businesses, industries and people who are incapable of governing themselves. This was the position of a fringe minority who called themselves “progressives” until early twentieth century Americans saw for themselves exactly how bad "progressive" ideas were.
The “progressive” idea came to America from Britain's Fabian Socialists, who advocate socialistic democracy, and from Germany's Frankfurt School, who came to America after fleeing Adolph Hitler because they knew Hitler would kill them for being Communists.
These ideas are European, not American.
The settlers who founded America rejected European ideas in fleeing Europe searching for a better future. America has been a success and a beacon to freedom seeking people for over two centuries because the American idea is the better idea.
Among Americans unpolluted by "progressive" ideas, there is little debate that the United States of America is the most inventive, productive, prosperous and charitable nation in the history of the planet. There has yet to be put forth one rational, logical argument to support abandoning the highly successful American idea in favor of a European idea that is currently failing in Europe itself.
Before voting on Tuesday, November 6, 2012, decide which fate America deserves.
Then vote not for revenge, but for love of country.
