Truth and knowledge diffused among the people are necessary for the reclamation and preservation of our Democracy, rights, freedom and liberties.  www.represent.us

Wake up Americans. For the record, I Am, not a Democrat or Republican;   I am here to tell the truth and serve the American people and humanity. The 2016 elections should not be about political ideologies or the parties; it is about our economic freedom and the preservation of our Republican and Democracy.

Something is wrong with the American people, from politicians to the average American, it seems that they have amnesia; they are complete ignorant or plain stupid; because they are in complete denial about President Ronald Reagan legacy. Reaganomics was the beginning of what we got today “The GOP NEOCON WARMONGERS” that under the pretense of promoting a conservative system of government they created a Plutocracy run by the oligarchs and the slavery of the American working class.

The big accomplishment of the GOP NEOCONS is the brainwashing of the Republican party,  using Ronald Reagan’s legacy, Via the mainstream news media the propaganda machinery of the oligarch and the Republican party neocons, they feed the American people their unchecked misinformation and disinformation about Ronald Reagan accomplishments, the Republican Party Neocon Elite has even shanghaied the emotional support of everyday ordinary Republican party members and the American people into taking this non-sensible “Reaganomics”, political indoctrination against their own best economic and self-interests and supported the cut taxes for the super-rich, all of the free trade ill policies that destroyed the American dream and the military interventions that cost the lives of thousands of American soldier, trillions of Dollars of national debt and the demise of our economic to support and defend the interest of the US multinational corporations in foreign countries

Fellow American wake up,  this is the Ronald Reagan score card - On taxes; during the 1950s and early 1960s, the top bracket income tax rate was over 90% for the super-rich and the economy, middle-class, and stock market boomed so please do not let the GOP NEOCONS lie and deceive you with their propaganda that the rich will create jobs for Americans if we cut their taxes.

 nObama Uses Pope for Political Point  
In a rare instance when someone comes to the U.S. from Cuba not floating on a homemade raft, Pope Francis will arrive at John Base Andrews at 4 p.m. today for his six-day visit to the United States. In his first visit to the U.S., Francis will address the UN, visit a correctional facility in Philadelphia and meet with Barack nObama. Francis is controversial, not necessarily because of his doctrine — which does raise questions — but because of how the media, which does a dismal job covering religion, has portrayed him. For example: In July 2013, the media breathlessly reported that Francis, when asked about homosexuality, responded, "Who am I to judge?" But the larger context was that Francis started his statement saying, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and he has good will..." See, morality and faith are still in play, and the pope opposes same-sex marriage. Still, many people reject the nuance of Francis' statements, one of them being nObama. When the executive greets the pope, by his side will be LGBT advocates, openly homosexual Episcopal priest Vicky Imogene Robinson and a group of nuns that helped lobby for nObamaCare. While the pope speaks of liberation theology, a similar philosophy embraced by nObama's former pastor Jeremiah Wright, the Holy See objected to these guests, saying images from the event could imply that the pope endorses those practices. But everything is political for nObama. Nuance or no, he will use Francis' visit as a way to further his ideology.  -The Patriot Post

 Climate Alarmists Want Dissenters Imprisoned  
On Sept. 1, twenty professors and climate scientists wrote a letter to Barack nObama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and science czar John Holdren praising their regulatory assault on fossil fuels. That wasn't the point of the letter, however. The disgruntled authors encouraged a more crushing strategy the White House should use to speed up compliance to nObama's climate change agenda. The group stated, "We appreciate that you are making aggressive and imaginative use of the limited tools available to you in the face of a recalcitrant Congress." But... "One additional tool — recently proposed by Senator Sheldon White house — is a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation of corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America's response to climate change." In other words, why not just prosecute and imprison those darn skeptics getting in the way?
          Specifically, the authors cite RICO's success in taking on the tobacco industry, adding, "[I]t is imperative that these misdeeds be stopped as soon as possible so that America and the world can get on with the critically important business of finding effective ways to restabilize the Earth's climate, before even more lasting damage is done." As climate blogger Steve Goddard retorted, "They might want to consult with the Pope about this. The Vatican has considerable experience arresting heretics." Investor's Business Daily's Kerry Jackson put it best: "[W]e could be wrong about global warming. It might all be as the alarmists claim. We acknowledge this. Science is not static but always moving. Let's see what it tells us. Yet has any true believer ever renounced his global warming faith or conceded that there is even the slightest chance that he might be just a bit wrong?" Who exactly are acting like cultish fanatics?
          Oh, and by the way, George Mason University Professor Jagadish Shukla, a leader of the letter writers, reportedly profited from government climate grants to the tune of $1.5 million.   -The Patriot Post

 Trump, Carson and the Islamic Controversy  
Over the last several days, the Leftmedia have worked themselves into a tizzy over two particular presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Ben Carson, following comments that were made — and not made — about Muslims. It’s one of those "gotcha" moments when a candidate must choose between speaking what he believes, dodging the question or simply not saying anything. Regardless of how the candidate answers, they will catch heat for it, primarily because they are Republicans.
          During a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, a questioner accused Barack nObama of being a Muslim, of not being American and stated, “We have [Muslim] training camps growing where they want to kill us, that’s my question. When can we get rid of them?” 
          Trump didn't respond the way many in the Leftmedia thought that he should have. He didn't rebut the questioner’s accusations about nObama's religion or citizenship. (After all, Trump himself once questioned nObama's citizenship.) Instead, Trump answered the question vaguely, stating, "We're going to be looking at a lot of different things, and a lot of people are saying that and saying that bad things are happening out there. We're going to be looking at that and plenty of other things.”
          To be sure, Trump could have answered the question better, and he could have taken the bait to address the man’s accusations. But he didn't — or rather, deliberately chose to ignore the accusations from the man because he foresaw the media onslaught that would surely follow. In his own words, Trump told ABC News, "If I would have challenged the man ... to put it mildly the media would have accused me of interfering with that man's right of free speech. ... A no win situation, do we agree?”

 WHAT WALKER (AND EVERYONE ELSE) GOT WRONG ABOUT 2016  
The Scott Walker campaign autopsy will drag on for a bit longer elsewhere, but we will spare you the viscera.
          The real work is already done, anyway. Josh Kraushaar (here) and Liz Mair (aggregated here) had already determined the causes of death before most in the political press had even finished snark-Tweeting.
          So, enough about the roadkill. Let’s talk about the road.
          What squashed Walker wasn’t so much about bad staffing or unpreparedness as it was about his fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of his party in this cycle.
          Walker looks like a good alternative to Jeb Bush if Ted Cruz is on the other side. But what if the outer boundary is actually Donald Trump or Ben Carson
          Second-place Carson is currently running laps around Trump on the issues of sharia law and creeping Islamism. While Trump is trying to get off the topic, Carson is denouncing willful P.C. blindness to the issue.
          If you knew these would be the dominant issues of late September, would you have been bullish on Walker in the spring?
          With so many voters so deeply despairing about the nature of the government and the state of the republic, Walker-like “reform” doesn’t sound so attractive. Revolt is the thing in the GOP these days.
          Many have tried to rigidly apply the 2012 template to the 2016 stakes – including Walker’s campaign. And while there are similarities, 2016 looks different: the nature and size of the field, the compressed schedule, the perceptions of Hilly Clinton’s vulnerability and, most of all, a deeper sense of dread among party activists.
          Here’s a way to think about it. When the 2012 GOP nominating cycle was entering its darkest days, Newt Gingrich was warning of creeping sharia. It seems like Carson is picking up where he left off, but with more vigor. It took a while in the 2012 cycle to get to brutal attacks on rivals’ immigration stances. In this cycle, it’s where Trump started.
          It’s not so much that Walker peaked too soon, it’s that it’s much later in the cycle than we think.
          Given the bloody war that has raged in the GOP since the last presidential cycle, this ought not to surprise us. But it certainly has, and no one more than Walker.  -Fox News

 nObama, Islamic Global Plot To Conquer The West...  
{rickwells.us} ~ Jim Simpson, an author and writer for American Thinker, has been sounding the alarm on the war on America, along with the Center for Security Policy... and working to stop the Trojan horse refugee resettlement efforts into the United States. In an interview earlier this month with Joe Miller, the former Republican Alaska Governor who is now a radio host, Simpson exposed the invasion for what it is, describing it as the regime and their enablers attacking the West in an effort to infuse their Islamic culture over ours, to “bring in third-world people from all over the world to dilute our culture” and our country “unrecognizable.” He noted the anti-American Ted Kennedy’s 1980 Refugee Act as being one of the chief tools being utilized towards our destruction. He described the purpose of that legislation as also being “to bring in people with no experience of American concepts of the rule of law, of individual freedom, of religious freedom, people with no concept and, frankly, a lot of people with no interest in adopting the American way of life other than to suck up welfare resources.”

 UK Defence Secretary: “Harder by the day” to stop jihad terror attacks  
{Robert Spencer} ~ PROTECTING Britons from terror attacks is “becoming harder by the day”, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon warned yesterday... Intelligence experts have also warned that the Islamic terror threat is yet to peak. Mr Fallon told a London think-tank the slaughter of 38 tourists, including 30 Britons, on a beach in Tunisia in June shows how difficult it is to defend “our people”. And he warned that terrorists and other states are “catching up” with Britain, whose technological edge on the battlefield is being eroded.

 US-trained rebels gave their weapons to al-Qaeda...  
{Robert Spencer} ~ Pentagon-trained rebels in Syria are reported to have betrayed their American backers and handed their weapons over to al-Qaeda in Syria immediately after re-entering the country... Fighters with Division 30, the “moderate” rebel division favoured by the United States, surrendered to the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra, a raft of sources claimed on Monday night. Division 30 was the first faction whose fighters graduated from a US-led training programme in Turkey which aims to forge a force on the ground in Syria to fight against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil).        http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/09/us-trained-rebels-gave-their-weapons-to-al-qaeda-immediately-on-entering-syria

 Iran Promises to Violate Nuke Deal  
{Adam Kredo} ~ Multiple senior Iranian officials have vowed in recent weeks to violate the recently inked nuclear accord that aims to constrain the Islamic Republic’s contested nuclear enrichment program... according to multiple comments by top Iranian leaders. Iranian leaders, including President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, have said that the country has “no intention” of abiding by a United Nations Security Council Resolution that encompasses the deal and other restrictions on Tehran’s rogue activities, according to these comments. These officials said that Iran views the recent Iranian nuclear deal secured in Vienna as separate from the resolution endorsing the deal and further prohibiting Iran from developing advanced ballistic missiles and purchasing other types of arms, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI, which issued a report compiling recent statements by Iran. The agreement, which was made earlier this year, is a non-binding set of resolutions focused on Iran’s nuclear program. The deal was transferred to the United Nations and officially endorsed as UNSRC 2231.

 Texas Rep Introduces Bill To Suspend Refugee Importation...  
{rickwells.us} ~ It looks like someone in Congress other than Senator Jeff Sessions is finally standing up to the lawless Hussein nObama and his orchestrated importation of Muslims into America... his pursuit of transforming America away from a white majority Christian nation to one more reflective of the third world he was raised in. Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) has introduced a bill into Congress that would halt the resettlement of refugees in the country until a thorough assessment of the costs and dangers of the process is conducted. It seems like an obvious first step to the average American possessing basic common sense but saying no to the outlaw in the White House is not something that the Congress has proven to be very good at.        http://rickwells.us/not-so-fast-obama-texas-rep-introduces-bill-to-suspend-refugee-importation-pending-cost-and-threat-evaluations/

 Insanity on Steroids!  
{Paul Driessen} ~ The Middle East is imploding. Islamic State butchers are annihilating Christian and other communities. Putin is sending arms to Assad... Under the nObama-Iran nuclear deal, the mullahs will get $100+ billion to expand their proxy terror war on Israel and the West. Saudi Arabia has 100,000 empty air-conditioned tents but won’t take any of the millions who’ve been driven from their homes. Neither will most of the other 22 Arab League nations or 57 Organization of Islamic Cooperation member countries. Instead, millions of mostly Muslim migrants, militants and refugees are heading to Europe – with limited money, education, job skills, or desire to assimilate. They demand entry into EU countries whose energy, economic, employment and welfare systems are already foundering or nearing collapse.

 America unprepared for Devastating 'Black Swan'  
{F. Michael Maloof} ~ Supply-chain disruptions often are the result of adverse weather, unplanned telecom outages, data breaches or even cyber hacking... However, the one “Black Swan” event that would make these instances pale by comparison and result in a cascading disruption is a natural or man-made electromagnetic pulse event. A “Black Swan” is an event regarded at the time of its occurrence as unprecedented and unexpected but later, in hindsight, understood to have been inevitable. An EMP is in that category, since scientific experts repeatedly warn that a major EMP event is not a question of if, but when.

 'Wake Up!' Muslim persecution of Christians abetted by the West  
{Raymond Ibrahim} ~ Not only is the Islamic State (IS) persecuting Christians but so are the U.S.-supported “rebel” forces, which the nObama administration assures are “moderate.”...  According to a recent NPR report, “With backing from U.S. allies, like Turkey and Saudi Arabia, this U.S. supported rebel coalition fights both the Syrian regime and the so-called Islamic State, or ISIS. But the coalition has extremists in its own ranks who have mistreated Christians and forced them out of their homes”—just as IS has done. In response, Mideast Christian leaders made clear that, far from expecting the West to intervene on their behalf, they merely wish that the West stops arming, supporting, or simply facilitating the Islamic terrorists making their lives a living hell—as plainly spelled out in a Christian Today article titled, “Syrian Christian leader tells West: ‘Stop arming terror groups who are massacring our people.”

{Jeff Dunetz} ~ In the latest attempt to de-legitimize the Jewish connection to Israel, Jerusalem and the site of the two holy temples to God...  the Palestinians under the leadership of President Abbas is trying to remove any claim Israel has to Mount Moriah, the Temple mount and Jerusalem the city it sits in, saying “[the Jews] no right to defile” the site with “their filthy feet.” Abbas further urged violence by saying,  “We salute every drop of blood spilled for the sake of Jerusalem.” If Abbas cared about the truth, he would remember that in the ancient texts the ancient Greeks, Romans, Christians, and even the ancient Muslims reported that Jerusalem and Temple Mount were Jewish lands.

 Evidence US Is Backtracking on Iran Stance, Restarting Negotiations... 
{Ruthie Blum} ~ The U.S. could be easing its policy on sanctions relief for Iran and restarting negotiations with the Islamic Republic, theMiddle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reportedon Monday... According to the report, the fact that foreign ministers of the P5+1 and Iran are set to meet with their Iranian counterpart in New York next week to “examine the recent developments of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)” is evidence of this potential shift. At a joint press conference in Berlin on Sunday with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, U.S. Secretary of State hanoi John Kerry announced that he would meet Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif on September 28 – on the margins of the UN General Assembly – to discuss “Iran and other matters.”

The Debate That Shouldn’t Be Ignored

     {townhall.com} ~ Last week a political debate was held and how the results of that debate are interpreted by voters could have significant impact on their quality of life. Who voters select as the winner of that debate, and the election which follows in just forty-one more days, could be a significant indicator of the mood of the nation. I’m talking about Kentucky’s gubernatorial election and as I predicted in this space in May, it should be a wonderfully accurate bellwether of national elections to come.
.
     That’s because this Kentucky election has all the stark contrasts in policy views, proposed remedies, and voter metrics that we’ve become familiar with in the Presidential race. The contrasts were on display in the debate.
.
     Economy- When asked about the current democratic governor’s expansion of Medicaid, Conway’s answer was a typical kick the can down the road solution of revisiting whether or not the state could pay for the increased entitlement in 2021. Bevin met the issue head on. Though some voters will likely balk at losing their new benefits, Bevin vowed to end the program and use those funds to find a more efficient (and likely privatized) method to insure as many of the current beneficiaries as possible. When asked repeatedly about other budgetary shortfalls, Conway’s answer was either to ride out the bad times and hope they get better, or raise taxes. Bevin emphasized the importance of removing as many obtrusive regulations on job creators as possible (Bevin supports “right to work” which contrary to accusations, has proven very beneficial for both union and non-union workers) and thus expand the tax base via employing more Kentuckians
.
     Energy- File this one under “credit where credit is due.” As Kentucky Attorney General, Conway did join a couple of lawsuits against the EPA as a counter to that agencies very real “war on coal”. However, Conway made certain to tout the need for “environmentally responsible” energy generation. Read that as a nod to one of his significant campaign contributors, the Sierra Club (two large donors having recently given this same Sierra Club 105 million dollars to help them wage that war on coal). Bevin recognized the essential role that coal must play as the lowest cost provider of electricity in this nation, and said Kentucky must not allow the EPA and its allies to run roughshod over Kentucky’s coal industry.
.
     Education-There was significant disagreement on this topic, with Bevin favoring less funding for Universities and colleges (that that this author would purport have become more and more indoctrination centers for liberal political views) and maybe a little more for trade schools that train students to enter the one segment of the economy that seems to be adding jobs, tradesmen. At the same time, Bevin stated that the new governor needs to find better ways to spend existing tax dollars, as opposed to seeking higher taxes, so that those funds can be poured blindly down an education rabbit hole. Conway called Bevin mean and anti-education and made the classic democratic tie-in between spending more money on education and actually achieving superior educations for students. History over the last three decades has proven that a false premise. Conway went on to assert that once Kentucky students receive this superior education, fueled by tax dollars, and I suppose common core indoctrination, great jobs will supposedly follow. This answer is likely why the teachers union bused in legions of Conway supporters at the recent political rally at Fancy Farm.
.
     Social Issues- Obviously the recent incident that thrust Kentucky into the national spotlight was discussed at length. In case you don’t know, it was the Kentucky Constitutional Amendment upholding traditional marriage, which Attorney General Conway refused to defend before the Supreme Court, which came before the US Supreme Court in the Obergfell decision this past June. At the time Conway stated that he wanted to save the taxpayers the money it would cost to appeal, but he also stated that he personally found the amendment discriminatory. He hasn’t said if he thinks 75% of Kentuckians who voted for the amendment are discriminatory.
.
     As to metrics, Kentucky has trended towards red statehood in national elections but has been firmly blue when it comes to selecting governors. If Kentucky is willing to buck this trend and elect Matt Bevin, it should bode well for the 2016 elections.

American Minute with Bill Federer
"To disarm the people...was the best and most effectual way to enslave them." -warning of George Mason, Father of the Bill of Rights

"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." 

Thus began the first of the Ten Amendments, or Bill of Rights, which were approved SEPTEMBER 25, 1789.

"The Father of the Bill of Rights" was George Mason of Virginia.

George Mason was the richest man in Virginia, owning 15,000 acres.

When George Washington was chosen to be the Commander of the Continental Army,George Mason was drafted by the citizens of Virginia to fill Washington's place in the Continental Congress.

George Mason wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights which Jefferson drew from to write the Declaration of Independence.

George Mason stated before the General Court of Virginia:

"The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth."

George Mason's phrase was mirrored by Jefferson's:

"The laws of nature and nature's God."

At the Constitutional Convention,George Mason called for an end of the slave trade, desiring to immediately ban any more slaves from being brought into the country and that slavery should not spread into new states. He called slavery a "slow poison" and argued for the gradual emancipation of all slaves.

On August 22, 1787, George Mason stated:

"Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgment of heaven upon a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this.

By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins, by national calamities."
203130ea-e8d8-4257-befa-3117e09f8f6c.jpg?a=1122372856571

George Mason argued in favor of citizens being armed, as he stated atVirginia's Ratifying Convention, 1788 (3 Elliot, Debates at 380):

"When the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised...to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia."

George Mason remarked on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company (The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland, Chapel Hill, 1970):


09aede82-1a40-4e80-9d57-9f3302a46e74.jpg?a=1122372856571(The Colonies were) "all democratic governments, wherethe power is in the hands of the peopleand where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. 

(European countries should not) be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defense of their rights and liberties 

and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them."

d44a3695-524f-459a-aacb-9424a997cd3e.jpg?a=1122372856571

George Mason was one of 55 founders who wrote the U.S. Constitution, but was one of the few who refused to sign it because it did not end the slave trade and did not put enough limits on the Federal Government's power.

He warned that the federal judiciary would attempt to usurp powers from the state governments.

Other anti-federalists included:

Virginia Governor Patrick Henry;
Future Governor of Massachusetts Samuel Adams;
Future 5th U.S. President James Monroe
Richard Henry Lee;
Robert Yates; George Clinton;Melancton Smith; Arthur Fenner; James Winthrop; Luther Martin; and the famous woman writer, Mercy Otis Warren.

Thomas Jefferson also advocated many anti-federalist views.

George Mason and the other anti-federalists tried to prevent the Constitution from being ratified as they feared that too much power concentrated into the hands of the Federal Government would result in the same trampling of individual rights that King George III perpetrated.

d12daf7c-581b-4d24-b71e-f84b6203c550.jpg?a=1122372856571 President Dwight Eisenhower admitted as much at a Governors' Conference, June 24, 1957:

 "The National Government was itself the creature of the States... Yet today it is often made to appear that the creature, Frankenstein-like, is determined to destroy the creators." 


George Mason's opposition to the Constitution cost him his friendship with George Washington.   

When the Constitution was ratified, George Mason led the effort to insist that limitations or "Amendments" put in place which would restrict the power of the new Federal Government.

3dd0e46f-7525-4371-bbe1-3128a68e970e.jpg?a=1122372856571
George Mason stated:

"There is no declaration of rights, and the laws of the general government being paramount to the laws and constitution of the several states, the declarations of rights in the separate states are no security."
 
ab9c4fc5-d989-40db-b28e-ff4c23583ae1.jpg?a=1122372856571

George Mason's role was acknowledged by Jefferson, April 3, 1825:

"The fact is unquestionable, that the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution of Virginia, were drawn originally by George Mason, one of our greatest men, and of the first order of greatness."

George Mason is commemorated by a bas-relief of him in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Preamble of the Bill of Rights stated:

"The States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added...

RESOLVED...that the following Articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as Amendments to the Constitution of the United States."

46303e79-b72c-4b9e-815c-78484cff3fe5.jpg?a=1122372856571

George Mason originally suggested the wording of the First Amendment be:

"All men have an equal, natural and unalienable right to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that no particular sect or society of Christians ought to be favored or established by law in preference to others."

In a glimpse into his personal life, George Mason recorded his wife's death March 9, 1773, inside their 1759 Family Bible:

"About three o'clock in the morning, died at Gunston-Hall...Mrs. Ann Mason, in the thirty-ninth year of her age; after a painful and tedious illness of more than nine months, which she bore with truly Christian Patience and resignation, in faithful hope of eternal Happiness in the world to come...

For many days before her death she had lost all hopes of recovery, and endeavour'd to wean herself from the affections of this life, saying that tho' it must cost her a hard struggle to reconcile herself to the hopes of parting with her husband and children, she hoped God would enable her to accomplish it...

An easy and agreeable companion, a kind neighbor, a steadfast friend, a humane mistress, a prudent and tender mother, a faithful, affectionate and most obliging wife; charitable to the poor and pious to her Maker, her virtue and religion were unmixed with hypocrisy or ostentation."

8bd6d075-1be5-4371-998b-33c41a24687d.jpg?a=1122372856571George Mason University in Virginia is named for him. 

George Mason wrote in his Last Will and Testament:

"I, George Mason, of "Gunston Hall", in the parish of Truro and county of Fairfax, being of perfect and sound mind and memory and in good health, but mindful of the uncertainty of human life and the imprudence of man's leaving his affairs to be settled upon a deathbed, do make and appoint this my last Will and Testament.

My soul, I resign into the hands of my Almighty Creator, whose tender mercies are over all His works, who hateth nothing that He hath made and to the Justice and Wisdom of whose dispensation I willing and cheerfully submit, humbly hoping from His unbounded mercy and benevolence, through the merits of my blessed Savior, a remission of my sins."

Pope Francis, Dorothy Day, and the Redistribution Delusion by Mona Chare

Pope Francis, Dorothy Day, and the Redistribution Delusion.
by Mona Charen, September 24, 2015
 
Pope that mentions Dorothy Day is a pope that rocks,” tweeted Neera Tanden of the left-leaning Center for American Progress. Tanden might have wished to reel back that praise if she had known that Day, though a prominent pacifist and socialist, was also a fervent opponent of abortion, birth control, Social Security, and the sexual revolution.
 
It’s fitting that Pope Francis should have invoked Dorothy Day among his pantheon of great Americans — she’s a symbol of where leftists always go wrong. This pope is going wrong in the same way. The Left’s delusions of “social justice” seem indomitable — impervious to evidence.
 
The pope lauded Day for “her social activism, her passion for justice, and for the cause of the oppressed, [which] were inspired by the gospel, her faith, and the example of the saints.”

Liberation Theology Icon

Posted by Rafael Brom on September 27, 2015 at 10:31am

Before Pope Francis' visit to United States of America I did not know nothing about Dorothy Day and other "Catholic" Communists. Pope Francis in his speech to US Congress mentioned an American "Catholic" Communist Propagandist and Agitator Dorothy Day saying that we should look up to her. So I checked the Internet and found many shocking things about her and her heavy activity in Communist Subversion of America. 

I wanted also to know reason why Pope Francis would not use much better Catholic example for all American People and why he did not mention continuous holocaust of abortion, children body parts sold by Planned Parenthood, gay marriages and other things, then I stumbled on this shocking info regarding one Liberation Theology Icon and Pope Francis:

Pope Francis lifted 29-year suspension on liberation theology icon a Central American priest the Rev. Miguel D’Escoto Brockman who was suspended by the Vatican in the 1980s for his involvement in the political activities of Nicaragua’s Communist Sandinista movement.

Looks like that Rev. Brockman was one of those Communists who massively disrespected Pope John Paul II during his visit to Nicaragua, by encouraging the crowd to catcall and shout down the voice of Pope John Paul in his outdoor address. Looks like that Rev. Miguel D’Escoto Brockman was in that time the Foreign Minister in the Sandinist Communist Government according to this report from NY Times:

ENOUGH…I’M TIRED AND YOU SHOULD DAMN WELL BE TOO

US Flag

By John Velisek USN (Ret)

I think back on the days of my childhood, days when all the kids in the neighborhood I lived in would get together for a game of stickball. All colors, all nationalities, everyone would play. Some better than others, but everyone would play until our mothers called us home at dark for dinner. The only break would come when the ice cream truck came by, and if someone didn’t have the dime for ice cream, someone else would buy it for them.

Times have changed, but the basic principles of how I was brought up have stuck with me. It doesn’t make for a tranquil way of life these days. There is a choice which must be made by every one of our citizens. Do we keep those old values, or do we toss them to the side for a more modern way of living our lives?

For me, I’ve had enough. There are certain things I am tired of:

I’m tired of partisan politics, of politicians working only to line their pockets and those of family and friends.

I’m tired of election promises never kept and the lying that has somehow become an accepted part of their everyday lives.

I am tired of state and federal masters who believe they have the authority to decide what I may say or do, whether I am allowed to carry a gun or favor Christianity over Islam.

I am tired of the “It Takes a Village” mindset which claims special insight in what our children should learn and how they must be taught.

I am tired of a federal government that shatters the Constitution and Bill of Rights to protect us from ourselves. I am tired of regulations that cost money, jobs and cause damage to the country in order that some crony or lobbyist can make a bundle.

I am tired of people wanting something for nothing and blaming others for the life that they made for themselves.

I’m tired of voters being called uninformed when they are really just stupid, lazy or greedy.

I am tired of being called racist because I am against illegal immigration. We are a country of laws, or used to be. Illegal is illegal. What part of that gets lost on the administration and media? Our Republican lawmakers have lost the integrity and backbone their constituents expect them to have.

I am tired of being told that in our modern culture, family does not matter. The foundation of this country was based on Christian principles. If you want that to change, count me out. I don’t care about your new ideas, or new way of life. It doesn’t matter to me. If that offends you, I am NOT sorry and I will NOT change.

I am tired of people being perpetually offended; offended by anything you say or do. The new buzzword is “microagression”. What exactly is that, other than a way to silence the people who disagree with today’s victim class. It won’t work. I and many others will not be cowed into silence.

I am tired of people believing I have to apologize for being a Christian Atheists out there who get so upset about someone being a Christian, I ask why? If God doesn’t exist, why does being a Christian make you so angry? Here’s a fair test: tell a Muslim that his religion is wrong, and let’s see what happens.

I am tired of a school system which indoctrinates rather than educates. Don’t indoctrinate our children into acceptance of socialism or homosexuality. Alumni who give to these systems are just as guilty as those who teach in them or run them. And parents, take the time to see what they are teaching your kids; from global warming nonsense to sex they are teaching your kids things that will make you angry. Stand up and opt out. You should decide what your child needs to know and what he is to be taught.

I am tired of slavery. My family never owned any, I never lived through it and no one alive has either. If there are reparations to be paid, they won’t get a dime from me. The first slaveholder in America was a black man and the slaves were rounded up by blacks in Africa and sold to him by Muslims. Ask those people to pay.

I am tired of Bowe Bergdahl being treated as a victim or hero, while Amir Hakmati languishes in a prison in Iran. Mr. President, do what is right by having a Rose Garden ceremony for Amir, with his parents and Amir standing next to you.
I am tired of class warfare. The middle class has been devastated over the past six years. Redistribution, like all other aspects of socialism does not work, never has and never will.

There is so much more. It is time for this administration, and all politicians to wake up to the fact that people in this country are fearful of where it is going; that all people, black and white want the opportunity of a better life for their children. It is up to us, the people of this country to stand up and tell those who believe they are above the law that there will be a reckoning.

Responsibility, accountability and respect must be integral to the education of our children and citizens. Today, our priorities are in free-fall. The nation is falling into third world chaos as a result of the deliberate actions of the New World Order crowd. No victims, no excuses. The time is now, and only time will tell what the citizenry of this country really wants.

Those quiet days of summer and ice cream still await. What will you do to bring them back?

"The American population is entirely Christian, and with us, Christianity and Religion are identified..." -Chief Justice John Marshall, May 9, 1833

"The power to tax involves the power to destroy," wrote Chief Justice John Marshall, McCulloch v. Maryland, 1819.

No one had a greater impact on Constitutional Law than John Marshall.

Despite deciding in favor of the Indians in the case ofWorcester v. Georgia, 1832, the Supreme Court had to rely on the President to enforce its decision.

John Marshall helped write over 1,000 decisions.

A Federalist, John Marshall was at the fulcrum of balancing the separate powers of government with the need to respond to immediate issues to keep the country united, often rendering decisions favoring a more powerful Federal Government.

Opposite of John Marshall on the political spectrum were the Anti-Federalists who favored reserving more power to the State Governments, such as: Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Sam Adams, George Mason, Richard Henry Lee, James Monroe, Mercy Otis Warren, George Clinton, and Luther Martin.

These were concerned a trend was beginning of which Washington warned in his Farewell Address, September 19, 1796:

"If in the opinion of the People, the distribution or modification of the Constitutional powers be in any way particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates.

But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.

The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield."

A hundred years after John Marshall's death, the Supreme Court moved in 1935 out of the basement of the Capitol into its own building. This coincided with court's increased usurpation of the role of Congress by issuing decisions which effectively legislated from the bench.

A story about John Marshallwas originally published in theWinchester Republicannewspaper, and recounted in Henry Howe's Historical Collections of Virginia(Charleston, South Carolina, 1845, p. 275-276; Albert J. Beveridge, The Life of John Marshall, Boston & New York, Houghton Mifflin Company, 1919, Vol. 4, The Building of the Nation, 1815-1835):
 
"There is, too, a legend about an astonishing flash of eloquence from Marshall - 'a streak of vivid lightning' - at a tavern, on the subject of religion.

The impression said to have been made by Marshall on this occasion was heightened by his appearance when he arrived at the inn.

The shafts of his ancient gig (carriage) were broken and 'held together by switches formed from the bark of a hickory sapling'; he was negligently dressed, his knee buckles loosened.

In the tavern a discussion arose among some young men concerning 'the merits of the Christian religion.'

The debate grew warm and lasted 'from six o'clock until eleven.'

No one knew Marshall, who sat quietly listening.

Finally one of the youthful combatants turned to him and said: 'Well, my old gentleman, what think you of these things?'

Marshall responded with a 'most eloquent and unanswerable appeal.' He talked for an hour, answering 'every argument urged against the teachings of Jesus.'

'In the whole lecture, there was so much simplicity and energy, pathos and sublimity, that not another word was uttered.' The listeners wondered who the old man could be.

Some thought him a preacher; and great was their surprise when they learned afterwards that he was the Chief Justice of the United States."

Chief Justice John Marshallcommented May 9, 1833, on the pamphlet The Relation of Christianity to Civil Government in the United States written by Rev. Jasper Adams, President of the College of Charleston, South Carolina (The Papers of John Marshall, ed. Charles Hobson, Chapel Hill: Univ. of North Carolina Press, 2006, p, 278):

"Reverend Sir, I am much indebted to you for the copy of your valuable sermon on the relation of Christianity to civil government preached before the convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Charleston, on the 13th of February last.

I have read it with great attention and advantage. The documents annexed to the sermon certainly go far in sustaining the proposition which it is your purpose to establish.

One great object of the colonial charters was avowedly the propagation of the Christian faith. Means have been employed to accomplish this object, and those means have been used by government..."

John Marshall continued:

"No person, I believe, questions the importance of religion to the happiness of man even during his existence in this world. It has at all times employed his most serious meditation, and had a decided influence on his conduct.

The American population is entirely Christian, and with us, Christianity and Religion are identified. It would be strange, indeed, if with such a people, our institutions did not presuppose Christianity, and did not often refer to it, and exhibit relations with it.

Legislation on the subject is admitted to require great delicacy, because freedom of conscience and respect for our religion both claim our most serious regard.

You have allowed their full influence to both. With very great respect, I am Sir, your Obedt., J. Marshall."

The Life of John Marshallby Albert J. Beveridge (Boston & New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1919, Vol. IV, p. 70), stated:

"John Marshall's daughter makes this statement regarding her father's religious views:

'He told me that he believed in the truth of the Christian Revelation... During the last months of his life he read Alexander Keith on Prophecy, where our Saviour's divinity is incidentally treated, and was convinced by this work, and the fuller investigation to which it led, of the supreme divinity of our Saviour.

He determined to apply to the communion of our Church, objecting to communion in private, because he thought it his duty to make a public confession of the Saviour.'"

Albert J. Beveridge continued inThe Life of John Marshall(referencing Bishop William Meade's Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia, 2 Vols., Richmond, 1910, Vol. 2, p. 221-222):

"He attended (Episcopal) services. Bishop William Meade informs us, not only because 'he was a sincere friend of religion,' but also because he wished 'to set an example.'

The Bishop bears this testimony:

'I can never forget how he would prostrate his tall form before the rude low benches, without backs, at Coolspring Meeting-House (Leeds Parish, near Oakhill, Fauquier County) in the midst of his children and grandchildren and his old neighbors.'

When in Richmond, John Marshall attended the Monumental Church where, says Bishop Meade,

'he was much incommoded by the narrowness of the pews... Not finding room enough for his whole body within the pew, he used to take his seat nearest the door of the pew, and, throwing it open, let his legs stretch a little into the aisle.'"

U.S. Attorney General Wayne MacVeagh continued his remarks on John Marshall Day, February 4, 1901:

"Let us, on this day of all days...acknowledge that nations cannot live by bread alone... We have heretofore cherished, the Christian ideal of true national greatness;

and our fidelity to that ideal, however imperfect it has been, entitled us in some measure to the divine blessing, for having offered an example to the world for more than an entire generation of how a nation could marvelously increase in wealth and strength and all material prosperity while living in peace with all mankind...

We all believe that the true glory of America and her true mission in the new century...is what a great prelate of the Catholic Church has recently declared it to be: to stand fast by Christ and his Gospel;

to cultivate NOT the Moslem virtues of war, of slaughter, of rapine, and of conquest, but the Christian virtues of self-denial and kindness and brotherly love...

Then we may some day hear the benediction: 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me'...

The true mission of nations as of men is to promote righteousness on earth...

and taking abundant care that every human creature beneath her starry flag, of every color and condition, is as secure of liberty, of justice and of peace as in the Republic of God.

In cherishing these aspirations...we are wholly in the spirit of the great Chief Justice; and...so effectually honor his memory." (Dillon, Vol. 1, p. 7-42)

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Horace Gray gave an address onJohn Marshall Day, February 4, 1901, in Virginia:

"Gentlemen of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and of the City of Richmond:

One hundred years ago today, the Supreme Court of the United States, after sitting for a few years in Philadelphia, met for the first time in Washington, the permanent capital of the Nation;

and John Marshall, a citizen of Virginia, having his home in Richmond, and a member of this bar, took his seat as Chief Justice of the United States...

Chief Justice Marshall was a steadfast believer in the truth of Christianity as revealed in the Bible. He was brought up in the Episcopal Church;

and Bishop Meade, who knew him well, tells us that he was a constant and reverent worshipper in that church, and contributed liberally to its support, although he never became a communicant..."

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Horace Gray continued his John Marshall Day remarks:

"All else that we know of his personal religion is derived from the statements (as handed down by the good bishop) of a daughter of the Chief Justice, who was much with him during the last months of his life.

She said that her father told her he never went to bed without concluding his prayer by repeating the Lord's Prayer and the verse beginning, 'Now I lay me down to sleep,' which his mother had taught him when he was a child;

and that the reason why he had never been a communicant was that it was but recently that he had become fully convinced of the divinity of Christ, and he then

'determined to apply for admission to the communion of our church objected to commune in private, because he thought it his duty to make a public confession of the Saviour

and, while waiting for improved health to enable him to go to the church for that purpose, he grew worse and died, without ever communing.'" (Dillon, Vol. 1, p. 42, 47, 88)

New Hampshire Supreme Court JudgeJeremiah Smith gave stated on John Marshall Day, February 4, 1901:

"And this brings us to what is...the great distinguishing feature in Marshall's life; the real secret of his extraordinary success...that is his high personal character...

John Marshall was pre-eminently single minded. His whole life was pervaded by an overpowering sense of duty and by strong religious principle. A firm believer in the Christian religion, his life was in accord with his belief." (Dillon, Vol. 1, p. 162)

Charles Elliott Perkins, nephew of Harriet Beecher Stowe and President of the Connecticut Bar Association stated:

"As a man, Marshall appears to have been as near perfection in disposition, habits, and conduct as it is possible for a mortal man to be...He had no vices and, I may almost say, no weaknesses.

In spite of his eminent talents, his high positions, and his great reputation, there was no tinge of conceit...

His charities were constant and great. He bore no malice toward those who offended or injured him.

He was a sincere Christian and believed in and obeyed the commands of the Bible." (Dillon, Vol. 1, p. 330)

U.S. Rep. William Bourke Cockran spoke of John Marshall to the Erie County Bar Association in Buffalo, New York:

"Aside from the establishment of Christianity, the foundation of this republic was the most memorable event in the history of man...

And if the foundation of this government be the most momentous human achievement of all the centuries, then clearly the appointment of John Marshall to the Chief Justiceship of the United States was the first event of the last century no less in the magnitude of its importance than in the order of its occurrence." (Dillon, Vol. 1, p. 404-405)

U.S. Senator and former Maryland Governor William Pinkney Whyte said of John Marshall:

"Would you not call a man religious who said the Lord's Prayer every day? And the prayer he learned at his mother's knee went down with him to the grave.

He was a constant and liberal contributor to the support of the Episcopal Church.

He never doubted the fact of the Christian revelation, but he was not convinced of the fact of the divinity of Christ till late in life.

Then, after refusing privately to commune, he expressed a desire to do so publicly, and was ready and willing to do so when opportunity should be had. The circumstances of his death only forbade it...

He was never professedly Unitarian, and he had no place in his heart for either an ancient or a modern agnosticism." (Dillon, Vol. 2, p. 2-3)

Commissioner of Customs Nathan Sargent wrote in Public Men and Events from 1817 to 1853 (Philadelphia, 1875, Vol. 1, p. 299), that John Marshall's "name has become a household word with the American people implying greatness, purity, honesty, and all the Christian virtues."

U.S. Rep. Horace Binney of Pennsylvania (Dillon, Vol. 3, p. 325), stated that John Marshall "...was a Christian, believed in the Gospel, and practiced its tenets."

 ACID TEST FOR backstabber BOEHNER, MCCON-NELL  
WaPo: “Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker backstabber John Boehner (R-Ohio) both say the government won’t shut down. But with fewer than five working days before the fiscal year ends, neither has explained how they intend to stop that from happening.  Instead, Republicans have made precious little progress in managing a political revolt within their own party that threatens both backstabber Boehner’s leadership and the GOP’s ability to keep the government open. Congressional staff and lawmakers speculate that the only way to avoid a shutdown will be for the House to vote in the final hours of Sept. 30, the deadline for a spending deal.”
          [You don’t know me - backstabber Boehner tells Politico Republican donors understand what the conservative group after his head doesn’t: he’s a conservative but not a miracle worker. “‘[T]he idea that I’m the establishment, that I’m some RINO, is just laughable.’” backstabber Boehner said.]  -Fox News

And despite an increase in Capitol Hill hallway chatter about a shake up,… conservatives admit they aren't planning to call for such a vote and will likely leave backstabber Boehner alone, even if the spending legislation ends up including Planned Parenthood funding…. House Republicans appear instead to be shifting their anger to the Senate and its majority leader, Mitch McCon-nell, R-Ky., who has been unable to pass key GOP legislation send from the House. House Republicans are urging McCon-nell to change the filibuster rules in the Senate so that legislation can pass with 51 votes instead of 60.”  -Fox News

 LIKE, HOW BIG OF A SPIDER ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?  
Goshen [Indiana] News: A 9-year-old boy suffered minor head injuries when the car he was in collided with a school bus Friday afternoon. And according to police, the crash was caused, at least in part, by a spider. Kosciusko County Deputies and officers with the Syracuse Police Department arrived on the scene at 4:18 p.m. and located a 9-year-old boy lying outside a Dodge Avenger that had collided with the school bus. Initial investigation from the scene, indicates that the boy's mother,Angela K. Kipp, 35, had been backing the vehicle from her driveway. Kipp told authorities had jumped from the vehicle after discovering a spider on her shoulder as the vehicle was still in reverse. The 9 year old then climbed from the rear seat to the front driver's seat and attempted to activate the brake pedal but instead depressed the throttle. … Officers also stated that there were no children aboard the school bus.”  -Fox News

 Senator Sessions Urges Restraint, Caution As To Import Terrorist  
{rickwells.us} ~ Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is the chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest. There’s arguably nobody in a better position to speak with authority and legitimacy than he about the Syrian refugee debacle... and the invasion that is being imposed upon the American people by the illegitimate nObama “government.” On Monday Sessions issued a statement in response to the announcement by Secretary of State hanoi John Kerry that the U.S would be flooded with non-assimilating Muslim imports from parts unknown, to the tune of nearly 200,000. He answered the question of how this would impact the numbers of imported third peasants from other regions with what was essentially an easily anticipated “not in the slightest.” These numbers will be in excess of those generous regime entry policies regarding annual resettlement of asylees, illegal border-crossers, foreign workers, and global green card recipients.

 Clinton Cover Up Expands To...  
{rickwells.us} ~ Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) was angered by the refusal of the FBI to provide information as to the status of their investigation into former Secretary of State Clinton’s secret personal email system... A month ago U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan instructed the State Department to contact the FBI for assistance with a Freedom of Information Act request from Judicial Watch regarding the employment arrangement of Hilly Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin. He also requested the State Department to report on the arrangements which were made for information sharing regarding the ongoing investigation. The FBI replied by letter on Monday, that there would be no information forthcoming, refusing to follow the Judge’s orders, and citing a policy of not revealing details of an ongoing investigation as the basis for their decision.        http://rickwells.us/clinton-cover-up-expands-to-include-fbi-obstruction-refusal-to-obey-district-judges-request-for-transparency/

 Massive Incompetence or Collusion – nObama’s Syria Policy   
{Paul E. Vallely (MG US Army, Ret.) and Scott W. Winchell} ~ Five Hundred Million Dollars for how many trained rebels? Four, five, or six?... How could you not know exactly how many were trained at less than ten? Because that too is a lie: a half billion dollar set of lies and failures. This is not just colossal ineptitude that borders on criminal negligence, it is much worse. What if General Austin’s testimony is masking an even larger, more embarrassing failure, that if revealed would expose the true intentions of the nObama Administration regarding Syria? Yes, it is!

 Let’s Give The Average-Joe A Hand  
{Merrill McCarthy} ~ Recently, hanoi John Kerry announced the U.S. is adding an additional 15,000 refugees in 2016 and another 15,000 in 2017 to an already bloated Refugee Resettlement program which currently settles 70,000 a year in the U.S... So, that means by 2017, we will be placing 100,000 refugees in communities across the country. It is up to Congress to approve the appropriations to pay for this new program. Now may be the time for citizens to wake up and deliver a clear message that they do not want Congress to approve. How about starting with: It is doubtful that anyone in authority really appreciates the level of outrage that is building every day. People do not want the unvetted horde of “Syrians” to enter without proper security clearance. It seems like the average Joe watching the nightly news has a better understanding of an enemy threat and the way to deal with it than our State Department. Watching the news, he sees thousands of fighting age men storming through Europe.

 Don't let Hilly shift blame for nObamacare's failure  
{Phil Kerpen} ~ Health insurance premiums are rising because of nObamacare.  And there is still one year left of the assorted reinsurance programs designed to mask premium increases, suggesting next year’s jumps will be even more eye-popping... That’s a political and logistical disaster for the Democrats who wrote the law and tied their political fortunes to its success. But rather than admit their law is too restrictive and come to the table to negotiate bipartisan reforms, Democrats and their insurance industry allies have decided on a cynical strategy: scapegoating drug companies. Mrs. Clinton promptly tweeted the conveniently timed Times article, adding: “Price gouging like this in the specialty drug market is outrageous. Tomorrow I'll lay out a plan to take it on.”  Of course, the plan is to call for price controls, while ignoring and downplaying the real nObamacare-created causes of rising insurance costs.        http://www.americancommitment.org/content/dont-let-hillary-shift-blame-obamacares-failures

 Boosted by nuke deal, Iran ups funding to Hizb’Allah, Hamas  
{Pamela Geller} ~ More of the poison fruit of nObama’s nuke deal, and a stunning indictment of his presidency as a whole... nObama is directly responsible for this increased funding of these bloodthirsty jihad terror groups. Since the deal was signed, Iran has significantly increased its financial support for two of the largest terror groups in the region that have become political players, Hamas and Hezbollah. In the years before the deal was signed, the crippling sanctions limited this support, which had significantly diminished along with Iran’s economy. But Tehran’s belief that tens, or hundreds, of billions of dollars will flow into the country in the coming years as a result of sanctions relief has led to a decision to boost the cash flow to these terror organizations. This support, for example, has enabled Hezbollah to obtain highly developed new armaments, including advanced technologies that many militaries around the world would envy.

 Iran's self-inspections at Parchin are Meaningless  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ On Monday the Associated Press (AP) reported that air, soil, and dust samples have been taken from the Parchin nuclear site, but it was Iranian nuclear experts with no IAEA staff present, who took the collection... IAEA chief Yukiya Amano claims that the collection was done according to the IAEA guidelines, because everything was observed buy the UN nuclear agency on TV monitors. Access is needed needs to clarify the nature and scope of Iran’s past nuclear weapons work. What were the possible military dimensions (PMDs) of Iran’s atomic program? They need to establish what the Iranians did and how far they got, which are the prerequisites to setting up a a baseline for an inspection regime against future violations. The nObama administration had promised lawmakers that IAEA inspectors would be able to inspect Parchin and resolve all PMD issues before any final deal was inked. But that didn’t happen; instead they allowed Iran to sign a secret side deal with the IAEA permitting the Iranians to self-inspect the facility rather than grant IAEA inspector robust access.

 Not Waiting For Nuke Deal Cash, Iran Upping Terrorist Money...  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ One of the worries about the crap-sandwich known as the P5+1 deal with Iran is that the rogue regime will take the $150 billion dollars of cash it will get as part of the deal and give most of it to its terrorist puppets... Well that fear should be erased because the terrorist-supporting regime isn’t waiting to get the cash bonus, it is already upping its funding of terrorist groups. In anticipation of the nObama concession windfall, since the deal was signed Iran has greatly upped its military contributions to Hamas and Hezbollah. According to the Times Of Israel: With the new cash, Hezbollah which already has 150,000 rockets pointed at Israel, has been able to secure advanced technology weapons:

 50 New Pages of Top Clinton Aide Emails Released  
{Kemberlee Kaye} ~ Monday Judicial Watch released 50 new pages of emails from top Hilly Clinton aide, Huma Abedin... Released as a result a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit instigated by Judicial Watch, the emails are from the clintonemail.com server and were penned during Former Secretary Clinton’s tenure at the Department of State. To be clear, the emails are not part of the FBI’s investigation into Hilly Clinton’s home-brewed email server. They were found in the Department of State’s records, but contain an address on the clintonemail.com domain. Judicial Watch asserts the State Department is intentionally delaying release of emails recently submitted by Abedin. As Judicial Watch notes, the emails show Clinton was not the only one using her non-secured server.       http://legalinsurrection.com/2015/09/50-new-pages-top-clinton-aide-emails-released/

 Refugee Crisis Demands Coherent Foreign Policy  
{Pete Hoekstra} ~ Perplexed Washington establishment politicians fail to grasp the West's need to develop an effective foreign policy in the Middle East to address the current refugee crisis... The U.S., largely through neglect, allows Islamists to inflict unspeakable genocide against innocent men, women, and children. The largely hands-off approach has resulted in hundreds of thousands of families fleeing Syria, as well hundreds of thousands more internally displaced persons in Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, and Yemen, to seek freedom in Europe and elsewhere. Under a misguided veneer of humanitarianism, some legislators are now rallying to accept more of those seeking refuge without first addressing the delusional policy that created the problem in the first place. Continuing down such a path will only exacerbate the situation, as we will find when Iran becomes an accepted player in world affairs.       http://www.investigativeproject.org/4980/refugee-crisis-demands-coherent-foreign-policy

Yom Kippur: Sandy Koufax's '
Sermon on the Mound'
Michael Freund

     {jewishworldreview.com} ~ This Yom Kippur marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most seminal moments in post-war American Jewish life, an event that occurred — or, to be more precise, one that didn't — which had a profound impact on how US Jewry came to feel about itself and its place in society.
.
     In 1965, the Day of Atonement coincided with October 6, the date on which the Los Angeles Dodgers were going up against the Minnesota Twins in the first game of baseball's World Series.
.
     The Dodgers' best pitcher, Sandy Koufax, was expected to lead the charge for the team. With a dazzling overhand curveball that seemed to defy gravity and a blazing fastball that was virtually unhittable, it is no wonder that Koufax was dubbed by Hall of Famer Ernie Banks as "the greatest pitcher I ever saw". Or, as Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci once wrote, "Koufax was so good, he once taped a post game radio show with Vin Scully before the game."
.
      But Koufax wasn't just a baseball superstar. He was also a Jew from Brooklyn and a proud one at that. And although he was completely secular, he found himself facing a dilemma: stand by his teammates and play or respect the sanctity of the day.
.
     Koufax chose the latter, sitting out the first game (which the Dodgers went on to lose). His choice caused a sensation among an entire generation of American Jews, from the most observant to the least active. It underlined that Jews need not feel discomfort about their identity while taking part in American public life.
.
     After all, if young Sandy Koufax could place fidelity to tradition ahead of pitching in the World Series without fear of a backlash, then clearly America was a place where Jews could assert their identity more securely than previously thought.
.
     In an interview, Jane Leavy, author of the New York Times bestselling book "Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy", told me that, "Sandy's decision not to pitch had a tremendous impact on the American Jewish community, on G0D knows how many Bar Mitzvah boys whose rabbis always summoned Koufax as an example of why they should be in shul (synagogue) not on a baseball field on the High Holidays, on those rabbis who have sermonized at length on Koufax's impact on the American Jewish community, and on countless Jews—practicing and cultural—who saw in Koufax an exemplar of Jewishness, refuting negative stereotypes in his actions and his being."
.
     Don't forget: Koufax's decision came just twenty years after the Holocaust and at a time when many American Jews were still subject to discrimination in hiring and housing and fearful of being identified as "too Jewish".
.
Suddenly, their fears seemed to be a thing of the past.
.
     As historian Rabbi Berel Wein told the New York Jewish Week last year, "When Sandy Koufax stated that he would not pitch on Yom Kippur, many Jews in America stood a little taller and had a better sense of self-worth and Jewish pride. That was as true in the Orthodox observant community as it was in the general Jewish community."
.
     Koufax's decision "influenced that generation of American Jews to become more publicly assertive and to be less ashamed of their Jewishness. The decision of Koufax to do the Jewish thing so publicly and in such a quintessential American setting as the World Series pumped a new confidence into that generation of American Jews."
.
     Koufax also helped to shatter the common stereotype that Jews and sports did not mix, or that the People of the Book could not excel on the playing field. In that sense, he paved the way for greater acceptance of Jews in American society.
.
     Despite the renown which followed his decision not to pitch, to this day it remains unclear what Koufax's reasons were, or what he did on that fateful Yom Kippur.
.
     Leavy told me, "I believe that it was a reflexive, dutiful decision for him. He did it out of respect for his parents, then alive, his community, his sense of right and wrong."
.
     "From his point of view," she said, "it was no big deal because after all, the Dodgers had Don Drysdale to start in his place and so they flip-flopped in the starting rotation. I think he was surprised by the response of the Jewish community and a bit embarrassed by his elevation to the ranks of a New American Patriarch."
.
     Drysdale did indeed start the game, but he gave up seven runs in 2 2/3 innings. When Dodger manager Walter Alston made his way to the mound to take Drysdale out of the game, the pitcher handed him the ball, smiled and said, "I bet right now you wish I was Jewish, too."
.
     Koufax returned for the next game, which he lost, but rebounded in Game 5 of the series, when he pitched a complete game shutout. After just two days rest, he started the decisive seventh game, throwing a three-hit shutout to win the championship for the Dodgers, as well as his second World Series Most Valuable Player award.
.
     Koufax, who is an extremely private person, has shied away from publicity, especially since his retirement due to an arthritic arm in 1966, and has rarely spoken in public about his decision not to pitch on Yom Kippur. Nor has he chosen to clear up the mystery of how he spent the day.
.
     According to an article that appeared in a local St. Paul, Minnesota, newspaper prior to the start of the 1965 World Series, Koufax had left the team's hotel in order to attend Yom Kippur services and said that he wouldn't watch or listen to the game on the holy day.
.
     And on the afternoon of Yom Kippur, Rabbi Bernard Raskas of Temple Aaron in St. Paul told his congregants that Koufax had attended services with them that morning but that he hadn't wanted to violate the ballplayer's privacy by singling him out in front of everyone.
.
     Leavy, however, is adamant. "I do not believe he went to shul. As I stated in my book, I believe he stayed at the team hotel and spent the day alone."
.
     Whatever may have happened that day, by refusing to play on Yom Kippur, Sandy Koufax inadvertently entered American Jewry's record books as a national figure, a courageous and confident Jew who did not let his professional success overwhelm his tribal loyalty.
.
     His demurral despite the high stakes involved amounted to a "Sermon on the Pitcher's Mound", a timeless lesson in maintaining a sense of perspective on what is truly important in life.
.
     Despite his career ending after just 12 seasons, Koufax later became the youngest player inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame, and many consider him to be one of the greatest left-handed pitchers in the game's history.
.
     But for many American Jews who were struggling to decide which part of their identity took precedence, Sandy Koufax will be remembered not so much for the pitches he threw as for the ones he chose not to.

pope-1.jpg?width=228A papal visit is always good for a spontaneous moment isn’t it?

Or IS it?

As the Pope paraded through Washington DC a few days ago, a little girl, carrying a yellow T-shirt, ran from the crowd, haltingly at first, until Pope Francis motioned for her to join him and then…it went viral…just as planned.

That’s correct…she, that little 5 year old girl was a plant…a child of illegal aliens hand-picked nearly a year ago to do exactly what she did. It was rehearsed. It was staged. It was a public relations maneuver put together by a Los Angeles based, illegal alien support group called…Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition.

Full rights for ILLEGAL ALIENS is what the group SHOULD be called as it is exactly that for which they advocate…full rights for those whose very first act in our country was the breaking of our laws.

Buh Bye Boehner!!

Posted by Craig Andresen on September 25, 2015 at 5:45pm

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

BUH-1.jpg?width=265So, John Boehner finally did something right. He announced he will be stepping down as Speaker of the House and retiring from Congress altogether at the end of October.

Buh bye Boehner and don’t let the door hit you in the Obama on your way out.

Boehner rose to the Speaker’s chair in 2011 after the shellacking Obama and liberals took in the 2010 midterm election. We had hopes that he would represent the Conservatives on whose coattails Boehner rode into the position but that soon proved not to be the case.

Boehner was a RINO and far, FAR too often ended up either siding with or simply caving in to Obama’s agenda. As the leader of the republican majority in the House, John Boehner was a crying, slobbering failure.

It was revealed last month that Boehner didn’t have enough votes to retain his Speakership and, as losers often do, Boehner moved the goal posts, by cancelling the vote and hoping to somehow salvage his position for a later attempt.

It was never to be.

As Boehner put it to reporters, after dropping the bombshell behind closed doors Friday morning…

Fear of Being Called ‘Islamophobic’ Is Getting People Killed—And Raped

Posted by Benny Huang on September 25, 2015 at 3:46pm

Please allow me to backtrack a little on my latest column. In “Ahmed Mohamed: Just 14 and Already a Professional Islamo-Victim” I stated that I was not entirely convinced that the Texas teenager planned to bring a suspicious device to school as part of a deliberate self-victimization hoax. After reading more about the incident, I’m nearly certain that this kid knew exactly what he was doing.

I would not be surprised if he did this in coordination with CAIR, the infamous Muslim “civil rights” group linked to several self-victimization hoaxes. We already know that CAIR is representing him; it’s only a question whether they coordinated this beforehand.

What this kid was doing, very likely with the help of CAIR, is called desensitization. It’s the processes of conditioning people to ignore what they know to be dangerous. Most people, when they encounter a briefcase with protruding wires will trust their instincts and report it to authorities. As the old saying goes, “If you see something, say something.” But if ordinary people can be made to keep mum out of fear that they will be called names—racist, Islamophobe, etc.—then terrorists can operate without nosy people flubbing up the operation.

Frontpage Magazine aptly coined a new adage for this era of tolerance and diversity: “If you see something, say something—unless the suspicious person is Muslim.” Yeah. Then shut up or you’re racist.

The classic desensitization operation is the “flying imams” incident of November 2006, in which a group of six Muslim clerics (imams) seemed to go out of their way to alarm passengers on a flight to Phoenix. Three of the imams also triggered “red flags” by buying only one-way tickets and not checking baggage. Several passengers quietly complained to flight attendants that they found the imams’ behavior suspicious.

The righteously indignant imams struck back with lawsuits against the airport, the airline and an anonymous passenger who passed a note to a flight attendant. The imams were represented by CAIR, of course. Eventually the suit against the passenger was dropped but the one against airline went to court. The case was eventually settled for an undisclosed amount through court-supervised mediation, which CAIR touted as a civil rights victory. The judge wrote that the imams had done nothing illegal and discarded as irrelevant the fact that reasonable people, lacking the benefit of hindsight, did what they thought prudent to keep people safe. Airlines were put on notice—if you see Muslims doing something that looks suspicious, you’d better be right.

Many observers, myself included, believed that the whole incident was a pre-meditated attempt to provoke exactly the reaction that they got—just like Ahmed Mohamed’s stunt. If you think that sounds crazy, consider for a moment that one of the imams worked for a Hamas front group before it was shuttered by the Treasury Department.

What CAIR will never admit is that people in western societies are socialized to treat Muslims with kiddy gloves. In their world, Muslims are given extra scrutiny. In reality, they are given less. In their world, the innocent actions of Muslims are interpreted as threatening by demented, Islamophobic minds. In reality, people pretend not to find their actions threatening even when they clearly are.

Can anyone dispute that the 2009 Fort Hood shooting could have been prevented if anyone had had the cajones to report Major Nidal Hassan before he started killing people? It didn’t take Sherlock Holmes to deduce that the Palestinian-American psychiatrist was hot for jihad. Major Hasan went off topic at a military psychiatry conference to deliver a lecture that many in the audience perceived as pro-radical Islam and anti-American, in which he approvingly quoted radical clerics and even Osama bin Laden. A classmate of his says that Hasan later mentioned his support for suicide bombers.

As someone who has served in the Army, I can tell you that career officers are some of the most risk-averse people you will ever meet because the worst fate they can imagine is having an Equal Opportunity (EO) complaint filed against them. There’s nothing worse than being accused of an “-ism” or a “-phobia.”

The 9/11 attacks might have been just a little less horrific if an airline employee in Portland, Maine had listened to his inner Islamophobe. Michael Tuohey, an employee of US Airways—the same airline that was later sued by the flying imams—was creeped out by two passengers at the check-in counter on that fine September morning. Their names were Mohamed Atta and Abdul Aziz al Omari. “Something in my stomach churned,” said Tuohey. “And subconsciously, I said to myself, ‘if they don’t look like Arab terrorists, nothing does’.” Then he gave himself a “mental slap.” “I said to myself, ‘that’s not nice to think. They are just two Arab businessmen’.”

Those “two Arab businessmen” later crashed a jumbo jet into the World Trade Center.

Our reluctance to identify Muslim malfeasance goes beyond terrorism. Try to imagine a society so paralyzed by fear of being labeled Islamophobic that people will look the other way while school-aged girls are raped. That nation really exists. It’s called England.

Between 1997 and 2013, a group of mostly Pakistani men in and around Rotherham, England were luring white English girls as young as eleven into what can only be called sex slavery. A conservative estimate of the victims is 1,400. The pervs managed to keep their little operation secret until 2001 when a Home Office worker named Jayne Senior began interviewing victims and compiling a report which she eventually turned over to authorities…who did nothing for fear of being perceived as racist. Ms. Senior was pressured to remain silent and even ordered to attend an “ethnicity and diversity course.” Since the Rotherham bust, other Muslim-operated sex slavery rings and other coverups have been discovered across England. They were smaller of course, but not small.

To make matters worse, one man was even arrested for talking openly about Muslim-operated sex slavery rings. His name is Nick Griffin and he’s probably one of the most hated men in the UK. Such is the fate of truth-tellers everywhere. Nick Griffin is the head of the British Nationalist Party (BNP), which is often described as crypto-fascist. According to the journalist Sean Thomas of the UK Telegraph: “As long ago as 2001, Nick Griffin…was making claims about Asian grooming gangs. In 2004 he repeated these allegations in a speech clandestinely recorded by the BBC for a TV documentary, Secret Agent. He was arrested and charged with inciting racial hatred.”

Imagine the chilling effect that can have. If you don’t want to get arrested, you’ll keep your mouth shut. Only stupid old racists like Nick Griffin talk about Muslim-operated sex slavery rings.

Nick Griffin was telling the truth and we’d be well advised to follow his lead. This insane fear we have of offending Muslims is getting people killed—and raped. I don’t care for a moment if some kid in Texas feels bad because a teacher mistook his bomb-like object for a bomb. He was likely baiting the teacher, and even if he wasn’t, the teacher did nothing wrong. The madness has to stop.

The Climate of Climate Change

Posted by John Velisek USN (Ret.0 on September 25, 2015 at 10:21am

Climate change has been a subject that has bounced back and forth with both sides bringing out facts and figures to substantiate the claims they make. One side puts forth apocalyptic scenarios, and the other side claims there is no merit to those claims. Politics and money play a large part in the battle. Grants are given to both sides and the common man is deluged with the findings that those grants were meant to find. So let’s take a look at the information available from both sides and try to see what the ultimate truth is.

First off, I am not paid by anyone to discuss climate changes. I have no skin in the game. And my opinion is just that, my own.

There are deceptions, and outright fabrications on the side of global warming or as it is now called, climate change. The name change is instrumental in being able to blame any weather, hot or cold, wet or dry on the climate.  No longer able to point to global warming as the coming disaster that has been voiced to the American people for twenty years, the name change was needed to further the agenda they had already laid out.

Informative is the trip of global warming activists to Antarctica to show the disappearing Ice Cap. They were caught in a thick sea ice they claimed was not there. A rescue ship was sent, which also got iced in. And this was in the Antarctic summer, when sea ice is at a minimum.

The BBC claimed in 2007 that all arctic Ice would be gone by 2013.The arctic ice, rather than totally disappearing has increased by 533,000 square miles about 30%. The Northwest Passage has been blocked by pack ice the entire year, the exact opposite of what global warmers were claiming. And in spite of pictures now shown to be photo shopped of polar bears on thin ice, the population of polar bears has increased by at least 45%.

Climate computer models are only as good as the information that it relies on makes the conclusions it renders. Through bad information or an omission of information the conclusions reached will be skewed. One such omission is the oscillation of climate inherent in our climate.  The changes take thousands of years, and are for the most part minimal. If the computers are not allowed to use these oscillations, the information is essentially useless. Up until the past few years, climate changers refused to even admit there was a little Ice Age

The little Ice Age, and other cold eras may be related to sunspots. This is the hypothesis being discussed among climate skeptics, and although correlation is still to be proven, there is a great deal of investigation to back up the hypothesis.

Climate Change supporters, after finally admitting that there was a Little Ice age, then moved forward with the discussion of carbon dioxide being the primary cause of the glacier melt that ended the Ice Age.  It has since been proven that the rise in carbon dioxide actually occurred after the glacier melt, and the cause may have been a rise in ocean temperature. During most of the history of our planet, there was much more carbon dioxide  than there is now, and the variation from era to era of carbon dioxide did not affect the climate, as the basic climate was stable and mostly cool.

Still the religion of climate change is being pushed upon the American people. There are various reasons for this. One is the effective use of climate change as a mean to redistribute wealth. Already there are calls from the United Nations and African nations for reparations for the damage done to the third world from the industrialized nations. Al Gore, a multi-millionaire from the buying and selling of carbon credits  was awarded the 2007 Nobel  Peace Prize for a movie that has since been discredited by the British High Court for factual errors. The IPCC who shared the award has been criticized by a majority of scientists for exaggeration. Yet the basic agenda of these false reports are still being taught in our schools as fact, indoctrinating our children into the socialist premise that global warming is Americas fault.

We are told to recycle, to buy smaller cars or a Tesla, to buy solar panels. None of these make a marked difference in the climate, and do nothing for those in poverty ridden third world countries  It doesn’t give them the cheap energy to move forward, and do not have the capability of renewable energy meeting the needs of the entire continent of Africa.  

In this country what should be taken into account if the factor economic growth compared to emission reduction. It makes no sense to force emission reduction if it disables the manufacturing growth of the country and the day to day quality of life the citizens.

Our climate is not in freefall, there is not a cataclysm ready to befall us. The climate is changing, as it has for thousands of years, and whether mankind makes a difference or not, it is miniscule. I was in the Philippines when Mt. Pinatubo erupted. At the time it took a lush green area of the country and the cities in the area and turned them into what I suppose hell would look like. Three years later the green lush growth was back and the cities were in the process of fully rebuilding. It was reported that the eruption put more ash and pollutants into the atmosphere that mankind would do in over 1000 years. Where are those pollutants now, the skies are blue, the water is pristine, and the atmosphere has recovered.

The EPA, the strong arm of this administration, has forced regulations on small business and coal plants that make no sense and based on information that the EPA will not let others see. There was a clean up of this country long before the EPA was set up in 1970. Environment and change in the energy process takes time, not a revolution to push through regulations and processes that do not work. Coal plants are closing down all over the country because they do meet federal regulations, and have no way of doing so, because the equipment needed isn’t out of research and development. 

In the past 16 years, there has been a slowing of global warming, even though carbon dioxide has increased. Warmists tell us it is a glitch, a hiccup, and we don’t really see what we see. Associated Press has  obtained documents that show that governments are concerned about the warming and have pushed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to refute the claim of the slowdown. Basing all the climate change hysteria on computer models that are factually incorrect is being used for implementation of regulations  up to and including cap and trade and carbon taxes on industrialized countries. And now, we even have scientists, not able to prove the facts to skeptics who will not allow false “facts” to run over the American economy with jail for disagreeing with those false facts. The data doesn’t live up to the facts, and any who question those facts are to be jailed.

So much for scientific consensus.

 'Tolerant' U.S. Military Allowed Afghans to Rape Children  
Barack nObama recently nominated Eric Fanning, a civilian who is openly homosexual, to serve as secretary of the Army. That follows ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Two women recently graduated Ranger School, and there's a raging debate about women in combat roles. But while the administration is no doubt pleased with its tolerant and politically correct force, the military can't even uphold human rights. The U.S. military has been tolerating its Afghan allies sexually abusing young boys for years. The Afghan militia would go so far as to take young boys into U.S. bases to do "bacha bazi," literally translated as "boy play." Gregory Buckley Sr. told The New York Times that, before his son was killed in Afghanistan, the Marine would tell him he could hear the screams of the boys at night. Why didn't U.S. soldiers intervene and beat the pedophiles into a pulp? Because they were told the military's policy was to respect Afghan "culture." The military justified inaction because it was fighting the larger evil of the Taliban. Besides, it didn't want to alienate its molesting Afghan allies. Remember: This comes from an administration that advocates harsh responses in violation of due process for college students accused of date rape. The Times also reports that when Dan Quinn, a former Green Beret commander, threw an Afghan police commander to the ground over the rape of a boy in 2011, the military stripped him of his command. So while nObama makes the U.S. military a petri dish for "enlightened" progressive social experimentation, the whole idea of just war is called into question. What a legacy.  -The Patriot Post

 GOP Frontrunners Stumble Over nObama's 'Faith'  
The three frontrunners in the GOP's presidential primary have never before held public office, which endears them to voters tired of Washington but is something that hasn't quite prepared them to do the rhetorical dance with media, public and other contenders. Donald Trump has risen in the polls because he hit hot issues in a braggadocio fashion. But he stumbled somewhat when, at a New Hampshire town hall event Thursday, he took a question from a man who claimed Barack nObama was Muslim and asked Trump, "When can we get rid [of Muslims]?" Trump didn't correct the man (nObama practices the religion of self), and Trump's omission created an outcry. To be clear, this is a drummed up controversy and Trump didn't need to correct the man. But as National Review's Jonah Goldberg writes, "If Trump were an experienced politician instead of an experienced entertainer, he would have instantly recognized the trap that the question posed and neutralized it, regardless of his 'moral obligations.'" The mud-wrestling match also got Ben Carson dirty. On Sunday, Carson weighed in on "Meet the Press" and said Islam is inconsistent with the Constitution. "I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation," Carson said. It's not enough to be right on the issues, to vow to clean out Washington. GOP candidates need to be nimble enough to engage the rollicking political debate known as the media circus.   -The Patriot Post

 Hilly Can't Wait for Keystone?  
While serving as secretary of state, Hilly Clinton began the nObama administration's review process for the Keystone pipeline. During her campaign, she's used that process as an excuse to avoid taking a position on it. She says she "put together a very thorough, deliberative, evidence-based process to evaluate the environmental impact" of the proposed pipeline from Alberta to Nebraska. In July, she declared she would "refrain from commenting [on Keystone] because I had a leading role in getting that process started and we have to let it run its course." In fact, she went so far as to say, "If it's undecided when I become president, I will answer your question."
          Hilly 2016: You Just Wait.
          Well, so much for that — she's getting impatient. "I have been waiting for the administration to make a decision," she announced last week. "I thought I owed them that. I can't wait too much longer. I am putting the White House on notice. I am going to tell you what I think soon because I can't wait." Translation: She's not putting the White House on notice about anything but is instead feeling pressure from ecofascists to oppose the pipeline. Given the steady flow of her poll numbers in the wrong direction, she'll take anything as a boost. The nObama administration has been caught between the greenies on the one hand and unions who want the jobs the pipeline will create on the other. Few doubt that both nObama and Clinton oppose the pipeline — or it would have been approved already — but they can't bring themselves to anger the unions.   -The Patriot Post

 School Safety Equals Islamophobia?  
If you’re a fan of media distortion, faux-Islamophobia, so-called "zero tolerance" policies and inconvenient reality, the self-constructed “clock” 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed recently brought to MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, to show to an engineering teacher is right up your alley.
          The reason clock is in quotations is because the device Mohamed constructed bore no resemblance to anything most people would construe as a clock. It was a compendium of wires and other electrical components built into a briefcase. When compared with a normal clock, one might be forgiven for a having certain level of apprehension regarding Mohamed’s invention.
          School officials certainly did. His English teacher confiscated it, and a few hours later the principal and school resource officer removed him from class and began questioning him. Shortly thereafter, he was taken to police headquarters in handcuffs and fingerprinted. He was subsequently released to his parents, and police said no charges would be filed.   -The Patriot Post

 Muslim Welfare ‘Refugees’ Trash Nearly $2 Million Home...  
{Walid Shoebat} ~ A family of PALESTINIAN MUSLIM freeloaders provoked outrage yesterday by saying they “deserve” to live in a £1.25 million taxpayer-funded luxury home despite trashing it... The mother, Mrs Mahmoud, gets £20,000 a year in housing benefits to pay her rent. Yet she said: “I don’t care if people think I am not grateful. I am entitled to live in a house like this even if I don’t pay for it. “I deserve to live in a nice house and get benefits because I am human.” Express Neighbors of mother-of-seven Manal Mahmoud, a jobless Palestinian refugee, have been driven to despair after years of antisocial behavior. One son has been jailed for drug-dealing, another made offensive gestures at onlookers yesterday and the police have been called regularly since the family moved into the riverside London terraced house three years ago. The family is one of at least 100 Muslim invaders living in homes on state handouts that could fund £1million mortgages. She dismissed suggestions she is abusing British hospitality after fleeing here 12 years ago, saying: “In this country, it is our right to live here. It is important for my kids to have space to play.”        http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/09/muslim-welfare-refugees-trash-nearly-2-million-home-they-are-living-in-for-free-and-laugh-about-it/

 hanoi Kerry Raises “Refugee” Quotas To Meet Syrian, Terrorist  
{rickwells.us} ~The Democrat Party as well as many unscrupulous profiteers within the Republican establishment are on a mission to change America... The “evil” which must be eliminated in order to accomplish their goal is white, Christian, English-speaking and identifies as a non-hyphenated patriotic American. Rampant unregulated open border chaos is key to their objective to achieve the destruction of America. The progressives haven’t yet reached the point where they can blatantly declare the United States to merely be a geographic area within the North American global region. They have many prongs to their attack and the one they are currently thrusting into the collective gut of America is that of a false humanitarian obligation to allow dangerous foreigners into our country.

 Cornyn Calls For Special Counsel In Clinton Espionage Investigation  
{rickwells.us} ~ Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Mitch McCon-nell’s right hand in his anti-American exploits in the Senate since the meaningless acquisition of a Republican majority last November... was a guest Sunday on the John Catsimatidis radio program in New York. He called for a change in the procedural method of the investigation into the email and potential espionage crimes of Hilly Clinton. Former US Attorney for the eastern district of New York and now Attorney General Loretta Lynch is having trouble in advancing any meaningful investigation into the wrongdoing of fellow New York Democrat Hilly Clinton. Cornyn recognizes that there may be a conflict of interest and calls for a Special Counsel to be appointed to oversee the investigation. Cornyn, a former Texas Supreme Court Associate Justice and Texas State Attorney General describes the Clinton server as having been set up with the intention of evading US laws requiring open records and the protection of classified documents. In validating the need for a Special Counsel he notes Clinton’s track record of providing untrue statements in virtually every instance in which she has been questioned and the failure to provide adequate protection to US information.

 Three Stages Of Jihad And The Syrian Islamic Invasion  
{rickwells.us} ~ In this video David Wood, of Answering Muslims, describes the three stages of Islam... He provides excellent insights through quotes from the Koran and historical observations to illustrate the true nature of this enemy. The first stage is the kinder, gentler manifestation of Stealth Jihad. In that stage, when Muslims “are completely outnumbered and cannot possibly win a physical confrontation with unbelievers, they’re commanded to promote peace with non-Muslims and to preach a message of tolerance.” The use of double standards, subversion and hypocrisy is an essential component of this stage. Stage Two, is Defensive Jihad, which occurs “when there are enough Muslims and resources to defend the Islamic community from attacks, persecution or criticism, Muslims are called to engage in defensive jihad, fighting unbelievers who pose a physical or intellectual threat to Islam.” A primary tactic of stage two is terrorism. The third sage is Offensive Jihad.        http://rickwells.us/the-three-stages-of-jihad-and-the-syrian-islamic-humanitarian-invasion-of-christian-europe-and-america/

 Steve Hayes: Cooked Intel on Islamic State Could Be Biggest Scandal...
{Blake Seitz} ~ Weekly Standard senior writer Steve Hayes said Friday that the alleged manipulation of intelligence about the Islamic State (IS, also ISIS) by senior officials could be the biggest scandal of President nObama’s presidency... “You had analysts who provided information, provided assessments that said that ISIS was actually a growing threat and a real danger, and those threats were systematically rewritten to downplay the threat from ISIS,” Hayes said on Fox’s Special Report with Bret Baier. “I think this is potentially the biggest scandal of the nObama administration,” Hayes said later. The scandal in question has simmered under the surface for some time before an article in The Daily Beast brought matters to a boil. The article revealed that 50 intelligence analysts had formally complained that their reports about IS and al Nusra, an al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group, were being altered by senior officials to downplay the groups’ strength. Hayes said that intelligence has been hidden and massaged by the nObama administration todownplay the strength of al Qaeda for years.

 nObama’s Muslim Identity  
{Cliff Kincald} ~ An ordinary citizen who identified President Barack nObama as a Muslim at a Donald Trump town hall meeting in New Hampshire showed that media brainwashing on the subject has been futile... The people understand that nObama asserts he is a Christian, but they just aren’t buying it. nObama has done too many things to benefit Muslims to convince people that he is not one of them. The latest example was extending an invitation to a Muslim student to come to the White House after he was detained for possessing what appeared to be a bomb. It turned out to be a clock that looked like a bomb. Naturally, the nObama White House treated this as a case of so-called Islamophobia, when pictures of the device demonstrated that care should have been taken and law enforcement should have been called. nObama refuses to identify Islamic terrorism as Islamic terrorism, but is quick to jump to conclusions about the supposedly anti-Islamic character of the American people. This is the mark of someone who is either strongly sympathetic to Islam, or a Muslim himself.        http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-muslim-identity/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email092115&utm_medium=email

 nObama’s deceitful, unsustainable energy decrees  
{Paul Driesson} ~ “That’s not the American way. That’s not progress. That’s not innovation. That’s rent-seeking and trying to protect old ways of doing business, and standing in the way of the future.”... That wasn’t the Wall Street Journal lambasting the mandate- and subsidy-dependent renewable energy consortium. It was President nObama demonizing critics of his plans to replace carbon-based energy with wind, solar and biofuels, stymie the hydraulic fracturing revolution that’s given the United States another century of oil and gas – and “fundamentally transform” and downsize the US and global economies. The president thinks this legacy will offset the Iran, Iraq, Islamic State and other policy debacles he will bequeath to his successors. His presidential library exhibits won’t likely mention those foreign policy fiascoes or the ways his energy policies mostly benefit the richest 1% of Americans, especially political cronies and campaign contributors – while crippling the economy and pummeling millions of families and businesses that depend on reliable, affordable oil, gas and coal energy for their income and welfare.

‘The Al-Aqsa Mosque, The Church Of The Holy Sepulcher Are Ours’  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ “Moderate” Palestinian President Abbas is at it again, calling for martyrdom and the shedding of blood in Jerusalem... Appearing on official Palestinian TV on September 16th the man who arraigned for the financing of the Munich Massacre said, “The Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher are ours. They are all ours, and they have no right to defile them with their filthy feet.” Abbas further said: “We salute every drop of blood spilled for the sake of Jerusalem. (see video below)” What most Christians don’t realize is this should be an affront to them. The Holy Temple which Abbas and the Palestinians claim never existed atop the Temple Mount is not only holy to the Jews, but that is a crucial part of the Jesus story.  Christians as well as Jews are not allowed to pray atop the Temple Mount..forget prayer, if they bend down and tie their shoes, or close their eyes, or bow their head, they are accused of prayer.

 Hilly Clinton’s Marx-Alinsky New Hampshire Love Festival  
{rickwells.us} ~ Hilly Clinton basks in the adoration of the self-obsessed Democrats of New Hampshire at the New Hampshire Democrat Convention... She was particularly popular among the “I’m a woman, therefore I’ll vote for a woman” crowd, just as Hussein nObama was worshiped by the “I’m not a racist, I’m voting for the half black guy because he’s black.” white-guilt constituency. She’s as phony as they come, and for politicians, particularly Democrats, that’s a high mark to achieve. She’s pushing the redistribution, “I’m going to give you more stuff because you’re a victim and they’ve got too much anyway” philosophy. It’s a huge hit with the New England commies and will remain that way until that threshold falls low enough to put a target on their own stuff. That’s when the lights will come on and by then it may well  be too late. New Hampshire have no brains. Sorry folks thats the truth.    http://rickwells.us/hillary-clintons-marx-alinsky-new-hampshire-love-festival-government-mobsters-are-your-friends-for-now/

{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ I wouldn’t have thought much about it until the mainstream media went into high dudgeon. It’s been interesting to watch feeding frenzy over what Donald Trump should have said when a questioner maintained President nObama was a Muslim. “He should have corrected the questioner!” they insisted. Trump said he has no obligation to defend nObama, and he’s right. Methinks the media protesteth too much. Chuck Todd continued to gnaw that bone when interviewing Trump on “Meet The Press” last Sunday morning. George Stephanopoulos worked it over on his program too.
.

.
Various polls have shown that as many as 54% of Republicans, 26% of Independents, and even 10% of Democrats think nObama is Muslim. Let’s review some of the possible reasons so many Americans believe this, shall we?

nObama’s father was Muslim. His stepfather was Muslim. He registered as Muslim when he went to a Muslim school in Indonesia. Back then his name was Barry Soetoro. As an adult, he decided to change it and go by Barack Hussein nObama, a distinctly Muslim-sounding name. Yet whenever conservatives dared to so much as utter the middle name nObama himself chose, the mainstream media went ballistic. Even John McCain chastised one of his hosts for referring to his opponent as “Barack Hussein nObama.”
.

.
When being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos back in 2008, nObama slipped, and said: “You’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith…” at which point Stephanopoulos interjected: “my Christian faith,” and nObama dutifully repeated as Stephanopoulos instructed: “…my Christian faith.” 
Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2&v=bMUgNg7aD8M
.
In 2008, when the Hilly Clinton campaign was accused of circulating a picture of nObama wearing Muslim clothing, nObama objected, saying, “People were saddened when they see these kind of politics.” nObama had visited Kenya in 2006 and tried on some Muslim garb, but so what? Why get all excited when a picture emerged? Why would anyone be “saddened”? Why should the picture have been kept hidden? No reason, unless he was trying to hide something.
.
obama-muslim-370x328.jpeg
.
As for nObama’s Christian bona fides? Well, President nObama said he attended the Reverend Wright’s United Church of Christ in Chicago for twenty years. He said Wright performed his wedding and baptized his two children. Yet when videotape emerged of antisemitic, racist sermons Wright delivered in that church, including one in which he yelled: “No-no-no! Not God bless America — God damn America!” nObama claimed he was shocked and never heard of Wright saying any such thing. When challenged on this, nObama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial,” and the Reverend Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with.”
.
Not particularly controversial? As a lifelong Christian, I can’t say I’ve ever known one who wouldn’t be shocked to hear sermons like that in any church. For him to excuse Wright that way would kindle doubt about just what kind of Christian nObama considers himself to be. The Reverend Wright’s outrageous exclamations sound more like they come from a radical imam in an Iranian mosque than from a pastor of a Christian church in America.

.
President nObama issues presidential proclamations for all Muslim holidays, including this one on Ramadan from 2011: . On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I want to extend our best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world. Ramadan Kareem. Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith…
.
white_house_war_on_easter_party_but_no_proclamation.jpg
.
There was, however, no Easter proclamation that year and Christians across the country objected. Since then nObama has issued Easter proclamation, but he had to be prodded. People notice this and it’s no wonder opinion polls reflect doubt about the veracity of what nObama claims his religion to be. They also remember statements like: “If you like your policy, you can keep your policy, period,” as well as others now too numerous to count. They’ve learned that lying comes easily to President nObama.
.
EAST3.jpg
.
Islam would consider nObama to be Muslim because both his father and the stepfather who adopted him were Muslim. According to Daniel Pipes, an Islam specialist and president of the Middle East Forum:  . “Islam is a patrilineal religion: In Islam, the father passes his faith to the children, and when a Muslim man has children with a non-Muslim woman,Islam considers those children Muslim. Mr. nObama’s grandfather and father having been Muslims — the extent of their piety matters not at all — means that in Muslim eyes, Mr. nObama was born a Muslim.”
.
Judge-Jeanine-Obama-National-Prayer-Breakfast.jpg
.
I’ve seen no record of nObama ever renouncing his Muslim faith. To do so would make him an apostate, an offense punishable by death according to Islamic law. Donald Trump is absolutely correct. nObama has to defend himself when accusations like this come up. It’s not up to anyone else. It’s his job, but he sits back and lets the mainstream media do it instead.

A Critical Threat

Posted by John Velisek USN (Ret.0 on September 24, 2015 at 9:17pm

There are Muslim communities in the United States that are operating in defiance of the United States Constitution and invoking sharia law on the communities such Dearborn Michigan . Although many states have passed legislation banning sharia law in those states, it is by no means comprehensive. The public by and large have been unaware that there are terror cells in the United States, Our administration, has a hands off policy, and the FBI does not have the authority to investigate because of rules promulgated by this administration. The State Department, under the banner of freedom of religion has not allowed any movement to investigate and close down the cells. In a statement from January 2002, the State Department said “ Jamaat ul-Fuqra has never been designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization”. It is widely known where these cells are, and who is in control of facilitating the training and financing of these cells. Because of the false interpretation of religious freedom, these cells have been allowed to grow and move to other locations without any interference from law enforcement. Under the guise of political correctness appeasement to these groups have put the American people in danger nationwide. The State Department in 1998, said the Jamaat al-Fuqra is a terrorist organization that seeks to purify Islam through violence. In 2002, the State Department took Jamaat al-Fuqra off the terrorist list because of “inactivity”. In 2014, many Anti-Islamist Muslim organization, in the US and Canada requested that the State Department once again designate the organization as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Daniel Pearl, a journalist who attempted to interview Mubarak Gilani, the leader of Jamaat Al-Fuqra, was kidnapped and killed by this organization. In 2003, a Jamaat al-Fuqra member was one of two men that pled guilty to trying to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge. These followers of Islam contend they are not accountable to American laws, and will not allow law enforcement to enter the compounds, to assure that they are not cells of an Islamic terrorist group just waiting the order to start a jihad of great devastation across the country. The assistance they receive from those of like minds in the country and from overseas counterparts have not been cut off, and at the present time, not even investigated. Of course, Jamaat Al Fuqra is not mentioned in any of the statements made about these Muslim terrorist compounds here in the United States. At Gilanis urging it has renamed itself “Muslims of America” (MOA)This was confirmed in the trial of Glen Ford, a terrorist aligned with Jamaat Al-Fuqra involved in a thwarted bomb plot in Canada. MOA, at the present time is operating twenty two terrorist cells across the nation that law enforcement knows about.. There could be as many if not more sleeper cells that law enforcement does not know about. The leader, Sheikh Gilani, as explained above is the founder of Jamaat al Fuqra. The group is of Pakistani origin, and the name change reflects an operational push into the United States. Gilani, originally from Pakistan emigrated to Brooklyn, New York about 1980, becoming Imam of a mosque where mostly of African American Muslims. While there, he recruited members for the jihad in Afghanistan, going so far as to visit prisons to recruit for the jihad. Gilani, under the auspices of MOA then set up the first compound in New York. At the same time a new offshoot of MOA, the United Muslim Christian Forum was started with the purpose of “finding common ground between Muslims and Christians”. This forum proclaims that Muslims and Christians should unite in their hatred for the Jews, At present there are an estimated 22 to 35 compounds set up all over the country. Areas where the compounds are know are ALASKA,ARIZONA,CALIFORNIA,COLORADO,GEORGIA,ILLINOIS,KANSAS, MASSACHESETTS,MICHIGAN,NEW YORK,OKLAHOMA,PENNSYLVANIA,SOUTH CAROLINA,TEXAS, TENNESSEE,VIRGINIA,WASHINGTON AND WEST VIRGINIA. In 1989 a storage area of the Colorado compound was raided Federal authorities found firearms, explosive devices , forged documents, military manual and a list of potential targets. MOA and its compounds across the country is a terrorist organization in the heart of the country. They have the ability to carry out devastating terror attacks, and yet, are being allowed to carry on the training of jihadists without any interruption by anyone in this administration. Although Gilani hasa stated that the “communities” are not breeding grounds of jihadists,, he has been taped discussing as having “one of the most advanced training courses in Islamic warfare. In 1993, one of the Wrold Tarde Center bombers Clement Rodney Hampton was trained by the MOA near Harrisburg Pennsylvania. The FBI have talked about the factors that lead to this position that the United States finds itself in. First is the political correctness and public policy that inhibits the FBI from asking questions or investigating the compounds. Second. Is that Islamophobia as forced on the American people by organizations like CAIR has blunted any appearance of wanting to investigate Islam in any form. Third, MOA has set up charity fronts to mask what they do and to play the victim when the subject is brought up. A lawsuit was brought against the Christian action Network (CAN) reports that showed that MOA trains men to become jihadists for the upcoming attack on America, that MOA has illegal weapons. That these “communities” are self contained, and no outside interference is tolerated. These ommunities consider themselves about federal, state or local laws, and follow sharia law. And that MOA is still recruiting from local prisons, through the United Muslim Christian Forum as a way to obtain more members for the jihadist cause. The MOA website has been sanitized from prying eyes. Even so, many of the postings on the website are a cause for concern. Following are examples from the Jihad Watch website: On Jews "Jews are an example of human Satans. This is why Jews are the founders of Satan worship and Masonic lodges, and are now trying to take over the entire globe in which the global religion is to be Satanism….In the US there are now thousands of temples where Satan is worshipped. This Satanism has now become the ultimate tool in the hands of Zionists. " -- "Satanism," MOA Web site "Every God-fearing individual, whether in America or abroad, must become informed of the heinous, barbaric, and purely sub-human nature of Zionism and all of its offshoots. It is the duty of every individual to become familiar with the nature and ways of Zionism and become educated to the whims and craftiness of these devils…" --"The True Nature of Zionist Propaganda," MOA Web site On Christians "If you ask any Christian 'What is meant by belief in God Almighty?' he will not be able to give you any rational explanation. On the contrary, he will confuse you, and damage you psychologically…Christians would rather submit to the theory that they have killed their god and now believe in the supremacy and power of Satan. Try to imagine the type of mentality that is build upon such a belief: Masochism, suicide, Satanism…they confuse the matter still more by introducing the fable of the Risen Christ, but have never produced a solitary witness to testify that he or she actually saw Christ ascending…One certain factor in the propagation of this nonsense is that the priests want poor, simple folk to believe in Jesus as the Son of God, whereas Jesus himself never proclaimed to be such… The vicars of Christ, after having completely confused western man in the matter of belief, use this method to manipulate the people in such a way that the priests are accepted as gods who have the power to send people to Heaven, Hell, or atone their sins… By having put their god on a crucifix as opposed to executing Satan, they not only have blasphemed against the Wisdom and Judgment of God Almighty, but reduced Him to a role of subservience to Satan. Similarly, by attributing the words of the Bible to God, they also attribute all their fallacies, inaccuracies, irrationalities, lies, and contradictions to Him!" -- "Psycho-Religious Causes of Some Incurable Diseases," MOA Web site These are the challenges we face in the modern world. The administration isn’t allowing anything to be done to thwart this danger to the citizens and the national security of this country. Federal and state laws need to be passed to allow the law enforcement officers on a local and national level to shine the light of day on the critical threat to the country. John C.

Helping Youth Have a Faith of Their Own

Posted by Sandra L.Mallo Adcock D.Ph.M.S.M on September 24, 2015 at 3:29pm
"This article is reprented by permission from Leading Ideas, a free e-newsletter from the Lewis Center for Church Leadership of Wesley Theological Seminary and available at Lewis Center for Church Leadership"
Here is the site for the orginal article Helping Youth Have a Faith of Their Own. Originally published Feb. 8, 2012.

Helping Youth Have a Faith of Their Own

The fact that youth participate in church less as they get older and often are not present in church as young adults can lead church leaders to assume they lack religious interest. A new book growing out of the National Study of Youth and Religion challenges that assumption. Sociologists Lisa Pearce and Melinda Lundquist Denton found that older teens and young adults see great significance in religion though not always in institutional forms of religious life.

In their book A Faith of Their Own: Stability and Change in the Religiosity of America’s Adolescents (Oxford University Press, 2011), the authors follow up with 2,530 young people, age 16 to 21, surveyed about their faith and religious practices at two points in time. The authors identified five types of religious identity among these young persons.

Abiders (20 percent). These are the adolescents with the highest levels of religious interest and practice. They not only believe in God; they pray regularly, attend services, volunteer, and are most likely to say their religion is the only true faith.

Adapters (20 percent). This group shows high levels of personal religiosity. But compared to the Abiders, they are more accepting of other people’s faiths and attend religious services more sporadically. The Adapters are most likely of all the groups to help others in need.

Assenters (31 percent). These teens say they believe in God, but they are minimally engaged with their faith. Religion is tangential to other aspects of their lives.

Avoiders (24 percent). They believe in God but do not engage in any religious practice. Their God is a distant one, and they often do not name a religious affiliation.

Atheists (5 percent). They do not believe in God and do not attend services.

Meaning for Congregations

What might this mean for congregations wanting to be sensitive to the faith perspectives of youth? We know that participation in formal religious services means little to many youth. They do not necessarily see themselves as less religious because they attend worship less often. The church is often not their primary community of meaning during these years.  

The writers suggest that congregations can support youth as they refine their religious identity with an approach called “scaffolding.” Scaffolding creates a context in which youth can participate at a level just beyond where they are currently. Instead of asking youth to go where they are not ready to go, they are helped to grow from where they are. Hallmarks of all such efforts must be honesty and acknowledgement of the role of doubt in faith.

All people have distinctive issues and needs at various life stages. One lesson from this research is the importance of supporting youth in appropriate ways during these critical years.

IL PAPA

Posted by luis✩USA on September 24, 2015 at 9:03am

It's being said that Pope Francis is the people's Pope. That he represents the poor. [?!] I thought that "il Papa", as the "Vicar", represented the Doctrine of Jesus Christ.

During his visit to Cuba, to his left was a massive portait of fellow Argentine native, the ruthless, murderous, Marxist Fidel Castro henchman, Ernesto "Che" Guevara. A man who had said, and I quote, “In fact, if Christ himself stood in my way, I, like Nietzsche, would not hesitate to squish him like a worm”.

Did his holiness point to the image and express his disgust that it was being displayed as a hero? No. Did he describe the atrocities committed by this man? No. Did he even attempt to step away from the image? Nope. That's the "people's Pope".

Does he denounce the atrocities that ISIS and other Islamists are committing against FELLOW Christians; or is he demanding that America give sanctuary to Christians that desperately seek asylum? NO! He speaks "for" the illegals and he praises the Euro nations that are letting in young males that are coming thru their borders by the tens of thousands. But, he's the "people's Pope", right?

Where does the Doctrine of Christ does it describes Him even meddling in politics? His Purpose on Earth was to Save ALl of mankind. "I AM the way" is Christ's Doctrine. Not "This" is the way - (meaning to follow ANY particular political agenda; or even specific religious sect).

It's cear to me that this Pope has crossed the realms of the teachings of Jesus Christ into the spectrum of global politics. Imo, the Catholic Church has become an extension of the socialist-demcrat agenda. What's next? An alliance w/ Islam, and the denouncement of Israel's "intolerance" and "unfairness"? It wouldn't surprise me in the least.
