Atheists are at it again with trying to tear down all that christians hold dear by throwing up a fuss over this being on federal land. I am sick of these trecherous people who want to tear down anything that has to do with christians.I want to get a law passed that stops these kinds of lawsuits from being considered when it comes to the heros that gave all so these idiots could actually have a voice.I say silence that voice of derision and send them packing
I recently learned President Ronald Reagan designated 1983 as the national Year of the Bible. I seriously doubt such a proclamation would pass Congress today.
President Obama has declared, “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIVd7YT0oWA
The liberal media regards expressing one's Christianity publicly as repulsive as showing Dracula the cross.
For those of you who do not follow football, former college football quarterback superstar, Tim Tebow is an outspoken Christian. The liberal media and pro abortion groups were furious when the story of how Tebow's pro-life mom was advised by doctors to abort him, but refused, was featured in a Super Bowl commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLds7Xcs0-w
Tebow is now a pro football rookie quarterback with the Denver Broncos. Some sports analysts and media say Tebow does not have the skills needed to “make it” in the NFL. While some of the naysayers and criticism may be justified, some desire to see Tebow fail because he is so outspoken regarding his Christian faith.
My doc says exercise helps control my diabetes. That Sunday, I was at the gym on the ellipse machine watching the Denver/Miami NFL football game. It was Tebow's first start as a pro.
An elderly husband and wife couple approached the aerobic section. They visually scanned the bank of TV sets. I suspected they were looking for the Tebow game. I was correct.
I asked, “Are you folks Tebow fans?” They smiled and replied, “Yes” I said, “So am I”. The woman said, “Thank you”. Something in her voice told me their support of Tebow extended beyond football. I suspect millions across America share similar feelings about Tebow.
Rather than giving you a play by play of the game, let's say for 95% of the game, Tebow's performance was unimpressive. Miami was beating Denver 15 to zero. Then, with 2 minutes left in the game, Tebow brought his team back to tie the score. Tebow's team won the game in overtime. Wow!
When interviewed after the game about his amazing comeback and win, Tebow said the last thing I am sure the liberal media wanted to hear, “First, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...”
Folks, I yelled, “Yes!” and felt a little tearful.
Please do not get me wrong. I am not suggesting Tim Tebow walks on water. I am saying that in our culture which celebrates crudeness and the lowest common denominator, it is extremely refreshing to see this young man boldly standing up for traditional wholesome principles and values.
Unquestionably, the American left has launched a war against Christianity. We are lectured and threatened with political correctness to respect every religion under the sun except Christianity.
It is open season on trashing Christians in movies, political interviews and etc. The Christian is portrayed as the nut job, the loser or the nerd.
Rumor has it, Tebow is an extremely hard worker and a born leader; sounds similar to a fire ball from Wasilla Alaska who is also despised in the liberal media for similar reasons.
Be prepared for an all out campaign by the left, throughout his pro football career, to destroy and discredit Tim Tebow.
Thus far, Tebow has done three things to infuriate the left and secure his name permanent residency on their excrement list. First, Tebow dodged being aborted and went public with his story. Second, Tebow won his first game in the NFL and publicly thanked Jesus for it. Dem there is fightin' words to the left! Third, without being intentionally political, Tebow's life promotes Conservatism.
Culturally, we have fallen a long way from President Reagan declaring a national Year of the Bible. Such a proclamation would be impossible today. Tebow publicly thanking Jesus in a secular setting is deemed fanatical by liberal media standards in America today.
And why is the left so angry and threatened by Tebow's mom's decision not to kill him?
Congratulations Tim Tebow on your super NFL debut. Millions are praying for you. And thanks for scoring one for us Christians.

“President Obama has been no stranger to the Occupy Wall Street crowd and in fact has gone out of his way to encourage the violent, vile, unsanitary, vitriolic and greedy movement. But, this week Obama took it to a whole new level, dedicating half of his weekly address to vilifying the “top 1 percent,” while claiming the middle class has been losing ground as “the rich become richer.” His message this week is purely “spread the wealth around.” Like I’ve said before, if Obama is going to continue to support the OWS crowd, he better be willing to accept the consequences of their actions too, which up to this point include rape, encouragement of cop killing and rioting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywgtctz2Jqg&feature=player_embedded
Reality check #1 for Obama: The middle class has lost ground because of your failed economic policies, not because of the top 1 percent in America. In addition, the middle class will continue to lose ground as you stoke the flames of class warfare and threaten to raise taxes on the job creators who employ the middle class in this country. For all those millionaires you claim are willing to pay more to support your big government programs and worthless stimulus packages, they can send their money right on over into the black hole of Washington spending at pay.gov.
Reality check #2 for Obama: Your $447 billion “jobs” plan that we just “can’t wait” to pass, was rejected by both the Republican House and the Democrat Senate (twice).”

I. Obama's Real Strategy!
Posted on American Thinker-By James V Capua-On April 28, 2011:
“Watching the machinations of Barack Obama, it seems as though he is creating what the Marxists call “internal contradictions.”
Gas prices ready to breach the $5 mark, but a relentless Administration campaign against increased domestic energy production; midterm elections soundly rejecting the President and his party’s command and control initiatives, butvigorous efforts to extend them in contempt not only of electoral, but legislative and judicial checks; foreign and defense policies that have produced nothing beyond betrayal of our interests and few remaining friends, but an eager embrace of fringe notions of a utopian internationalist order and our place in that order: every day brings new movements in this symphony of dissonance.
Unfortunately, we are not simply enjoying a clarifying dialectic; we are in the middle of a high stakes race. The objective in this race is not a place; it is a date: Election Day, November 6, 2012.
As the contending parties converge on the objective, the Administration understands that the conventional electoral calculus seems irreversible—gas prices, inflation, unemployment, and geopolitical discomfiture will be joined in 2012 by the newfound fear of deficits and the national debt, and maybe even for the fate of constitutional government. Their response to this looming threat of defeat is a version of the old Cold War communist strategy of “talk talk, fight fight.”
The talk element is employed to waste time, obscure tactical maneuvers, divert and divide the opposition, and sometimes even to draw fire onto decoy targets. Behind the screen of the talk is the “fight” or action element of the strategy—executive, and to the extent still possible, fiscal measures calculated to bring the country by November 6, 2012 to a state in which an electoral majority, comprising both Obama partisans and opponents, is in such a high state of anxiety that they are unwilling to change presidents.
How does this work? First, there is the talk element. Obama and his people are drowning us in a talk tsunami. I am convinced that much of it is, for them, meaningless, meant merely to overload our capacity for outrage and give their house media “issues,” ostensibly to debate each evening, but really for generating a constant supply of vehicles through which to diminish the opposition and generally desensitize the country to the enormity of what Obama is doing. The outrage fatigue grows and conservatives scramble to confront the dizzying torrent of talk, talk, with a tone increasingly shrill and desperation—borne intramural wrangling. The release of the birth certificate, “Something special about the Resurrection,” and other peculiar Easter omissions and commissions, the rise and disappearance of the political “civility” issue, keeping alive for months the fantasy of New York City trials for 9/11 conspirators, the great Fatwa against down time naps for drowsy air traffic controllers, UN international legal rights for Mother Earth, endless reprises of canards about the evil effects of conservative talk radio, the Ground Zero Mosque contretemps, TSA groping policy, attacking Arizona’s immigration enforcement initiative, embracing Al Sharpton and giving the New Black Panthers a pass, Michelle’s “You don’t want fries with that!” campaign.
This is not to say some of these do not merit real concern, but Obama and his minions are merely playing with them; the best evidence for which is the airiness of their arguments and the insouciance with which they and their media mouthpieces flit from one to the next. The key here for the opposition—forget about the talk. It is just talk. Republicans shouldn’t play the other guy’s game. They have neither the language nor the style, as Speaker Boehner most recently demonstrated when he trod on the oil price banana peel; he should concentrate on the fight fight.
When national Republicans respond to Obama talk talk in their accustomed mush mouthed, tentative, and bloodless way, they generally turn off those they need the most to join them—including the libertarians and the generally politically inert 25-somethings, for whom irony and not outrage is the preferred tone. But show you can fight, win, and deliver and they will give you a chance. In the end, for all their eloquence, Lady Thatcher, John Paul II, and Ronald Reagan did not outtalk the Soviets; they showed they were prepared to outfight them, and that was enough.
As good as Obama is with talk talk, the fight fight component has thus far has been equally well-executed. Again, fight fight for Obama consists of using his executive power and remaining fiscal armory to create and maintain an atmosphere of pervasive anxiety. The calculation is that fear and anxiety will induce his remaining supporters to stick with him, and that enough of the forty-odd percent who claim to oppose him will pull the Democrat lever as well out of fear—fear of retribution and fear of losing what shreds they have left of their security as one from the gaggle of lame Republican contenders attempts to reverse the damage Obama has done.
The elderly are the most obvious target. ObamaCare frightened them because of its potential negative impact on Medicare, and this presented a problem for the President. So Obama moved recently to postpone one of the more onerous elements of his health reform until after the election. With that flank secure he is free to focus the Medicare fears of the elderly on the Ryan budget blueprint.
On the union front, the Obama gang fostered maximum thuggery and rancor in Madison, as teachers became screaming harpies and schoolchildren pawns. The line was clearly drawn—standing between fiscal prudence and public employee vested interests is Obama, so stick with him or else. What about the business community? Obama has assiduously used executive and regulatory power to show that crony capitalism works for his friends like GE, GM, and assorted connected green scam artists, but the retributive hand of his federal Myrmidons can be heavy indeed. One frightened hedge fund magnate recently was reduced to whistling past the graveyard: “I am sure, if we are really nice and stay quiet, everything will be alright and the president will become more centrist and that all his tough talk is just words...I mean, he really loves us and when he beats us, he doesn’t mean it.” (Notwithstanding, he has apparently begun contributing to Republicans. Now that is hedging.)
Some elements of an ever more pervasive sense of fear and anxiety are more directly attributable to Obama policies than others. Regardless, the parlous state of the nation overall, from what appears to be a fraying social fabric at fast food joints from coast to coast and soaring gold prices, to a feckless foreign policy allegedly necessitated by a reported presidential conviction “that the relative power of the U.S. is declining,” reinforces the more directly-attributable fear and anxiety effects of fight fight. Some are scared to oppose, some are scared that with a change they will lose even more, some are scared that the price of saving the economy, our institutions, and restoring our international standing will be too high.
Right now the course of the campaign is being controlled by the Administration. The first step in wresting the initiative is to recognize their strategy.”

Slavery is alive and well in the world today and it is not Europeans committing this Crime against humanity.....It is Muslims.The problem according to a formor slave is the indifference by the UN on this ongoing issue.The UN is so concerned about the palenstians and their refugees that they completely deny the problem in Sudan by calling them abducted people and not slaves as it should be called.it is a shame and scary that the UN takes this position over sudan and yet decries Isreal for her supposed crimes against palastine.
Isreal faceing more attacks tonight by longer range missles.We need to as a Nation support Isreal and her people from these palastenian terrorists.
Many are saying that CONgress' ratings are poorer than Mr Obama's
I propose we call Dick Morris, Karl Rove, AND Mr Sabato, and the rest of the pollsters
Poll the Congress, Senate AND Mr Obama's numbers, Each individual's numbers.
How about a complete poll of CONgress, the Senate and the President, individually on each individual running for office and
Dick Morris, Karl Rove, all the other pollsters.
Get a REAL poll on the Political climate of America today. What does each one poll at INDIVIDUALLY?

“This is a History Lesson on Your Social Security card:”
Dick Kantenberger
Gifted Education Writer
Examiner.com
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.
It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family
and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter
whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts....it is, what it is!
Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and
card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the
United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the
message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.
An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message.
Our Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,- Now 7.65%
on the first $90,000
3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,No longer tax deductible
- 4.) That the money the participants put into the
- independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,
- Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income.Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be TaxedSince many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month --
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put
away' -- you may be interested in the following:~
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the generalfund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.~
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?A: The Democratic Party.
~
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting
the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
~The Democratic Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That's right!
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want
to take your Social Security away!And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of wareness will
be planted and maybe changes will evolve.
But it's worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?Actions speak louder than bumper stickers

Someone famous once said about Oakland, California, “There’s No There There!”
All of that changed recently when that world-class hypocrite known as Michael Moore invaded the East Bay town in order to connect, spiritually, with the poor souls of “Occupy Oakland,” those abused 99 % whose reality is that of abject poverty and deprivation, conditions that Moore has obviously avoided given his blubber-blasted bum and face.
Although Moore is a rich and powerful media elitist of the hated 1% variety, that truth did not prevent the bloated lefty from speaking out against those who share his privileged station in life.
As reported at the reference, in part:
“OAKLAND, Calif. - Filmmaker Michael Moore told anti-Wall Street protesters in Oakland that the Occupy movement - which has spread to cities across America and overseas - in inspiring millions who are angry about corporate excess, income inequality and the failure of politicians to address issues facing the majority of Americans.
Addressing about 1,000 Occupy Oakland protesters in front of City Hall Friday, Moore said the week's events in Oakland will go down as a "watershed moment" in the Occupy Wall Street movement.”
EARTH TO MICHAEL! Rather than polluting the air over Oakland with hypocrisy and liberal pap, why take a more active role in assisting the ‘Occupy Oakland’ masses?
For example, announce that you will undertake a personal “Hunger Strike” until banks and corporations, excluding only firms that fund left- wing “documentaries,” swear off profits all together.
Moore could further lead by example by donating the money he would normally spend on food and drink each day (reportedly hundreds of dollars) to the “Occupy Oakland” trust fund, thereby providing reliable financial support for the 99 % crowd, indefinitely.
Do it Michael, if not for your Occupy Oakland friends, then for your overtaxed heart which is desperate for “Less Moore” to lug around!

THE OCCUPIER'S WILL BE SNOWED IN TONIGHT IN
NEW YORK CITY. 10 " OF SNOW !! DO NOT GIVE THEM
ANY MORE FREE PRESS ~ THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO
Wouldn’t find this at Tea Party Rally!
Posted on Big Governemtn-By Brandon Darby-On October 29, 2011:
“As the Occupy manifestation of the “Global Peace and Justice Movement” begins to decay and break down into the predictable anarchy, violence and arrests, it is becoming clear that the protests pose special dangers for women.
{…}
Even the left has begun to admit it. The Nation tries to laud the role of women in Occupy Wall Street but can’t avoid the truth:
“The dozen women I spoke to for this story—most of them queer-identified and/or women of color—have witnessed varying amounts of offensive behavior, such as unwanted touching or use of casually misogynist language, within the movement…
Ashwini Hardikar, one protest participant, recently wrote a powerful blog post about two such experiences that occurred within an hour: a male protester giving her an unwanted hug, who then expressed shock when she responded (loudly) that she found his hug unwelcome and intrusive, and a young man chanting “Lady Liberty is a whore” and defending himself when she questioned his language. This kind of explaining and educating can be exhausting for women.”
Here are a just a few recent incidents:
- A 14-year-old runaway was allegedly sexually assaulted at Occupy Dallas.
- A 19-year-old student activist was allegedly raped at Occupy Cleveland.
- A man was arrested on charges of indecent exposure to children at Occupy Seattle.
- A female reporter was threatened by activists at Occupy Oakland.
And even more attacks are listed in John Nolte’s “rap sheet” on the Occupy protests. The threats to women are not confined to the periphery of the Occupy movement but exist at the heart of the main Occupy Wall Street protest in New York.
As the Washington Times noted this morning:
Crime in Occupy Wall Street’s encampment Zucotti Park might be worse than the public realizes. According to The New York Post, crime at the park, which included a homeless man allegedly pulling a knife during an argument as well as claims of sexual assaults, is so out of control many protesters have resorted to a “stop snitching” rule. In fact, reports The Post, one NYPD officer said, that much of the crime goes unreported as a result. “What’s happening in there is staying in there,” said the New York City cop.
Despite these concerns, Occupy has been discouraging victims of sexual assaults from consulting police. In New York, organizers have created a group called “Safer Spaces OWS” that attempts to deal with threats to women “without involving the police or the court system unless the person wants that.” At the same time, the Occupy movement has used idealized images of women to promote itself and attract new recruits. The contradiction is striking.
Some on the left are beginning to criticize attempts by some Occupy organizers to blame the victims for speaking out—such as Jezebel:
It’s also true that people who aren’t in charge can be asked to subsume their interests to those of the group as a whole — or even demonized if they speak up in ways perceived to discredit the group. That happened to the Cleveland victim when one protester (prominently featured on the local news) accused her of being a plant.
There have been a few improvements at some Occupy protests, partly in response to increased media attention to sexual crimes. For example, after news emerged that Occupy Baltimore had been discouraging women from approaching police with complaints of assault, the organizers changed their policy, according to the Baltimore Sun:
Gone is controversial language that said the protesters would rather handle complaints amongst themselves, and that while they wouldn’t prevent someone from going to police, they would prefer not to involve law enforcement.
The memo now reads, in part:
“Instances of sexual abuse and assault will be handled according to the expressed desires of the victim. The Security and Medical teams are equipped with a list of resources, including contact information for the police, hospitals, sexual assault hotlines, and women’s shelters. In these instances, #Occupy Baltimore welcomes the involvement of the Baltimore City Police and encourages victims to report crimes.”
The media has tended to treat incidents of sexual assault at Occupy protests as isolated cases, because few journalists want to acknowledge the radical heart of the movement. It should be no surprise that an event thrown by anarchists has turned into anarchy. Those on the left who have acknowledged the problem have made a small step in the right direction, but they continue to miss the obvious solutions, because they would prefer to blame social conditions like patriarchy and racism for women’s vulnerability at Occupy.
The reality is that ideological underpinnings of the Occupy movement–such as collectivism, “consensus” decision making, and antipathy towards law enforcement—often lend themselves to the disorder that predators see as opportunity. Far from “empowering” women, the Occupy movement’s anarchist and socialist principles and policies are exposing female activists to greater danger. They cannot maintain order because they are in the midst of rebelling against it.
There can be no more excuses. It’s time for common sense to trump ideology. If the organizers of Occupy are incapable of preserving law and order among the participants, the public authorities must assert themselves. One victim more is one too many.”
