Democrat 2012 hopeful, Barack Obama was scheduled to give a speech about the budget yesterday; but, instead he delivered a screed expressing his personal frustration over our collective resistance to Marxist principles.
Never one given to originality, Obama fell back on the standard tax-the-rich twaddle in his fact-free diatribe. At no point did the president offer up any coherent plans for reducing our destructive deficit.
El Presidente would have us believe that government is the source of all good in our lives, irrespective of mountains of evidence to the contrary. No, Mr. President, America did not achieve greatness because of, but rather in spite of the government.
Yet another poorly drafted and ineptly executed rant by our deeply troubled, anti American president.

“Stop with the damn birth certificate!” he said. “Stop!” According to him, it is a non-issue that only detracts from the real problem in America, which is progressives fundamentally transforming America.
“If you’re going to lose your country– we’re going to lose it on a birth certificate?” he asked. “You have a real opportunity to talk about American exceptionalism … instead you’re going to waste time on the birth certificate?”
“You’re out of your mind if you think that is a winning argument for the next election. You’re out of your mind. You have to go fight the battle on the principles of America!”

Is Hell Dead?
Is Hell Dead?
Time ^ | Thursday, Apr. 14, 2011 | Jon Meacham
[snip] Traditionally, the key is the acknowledgment that Jesus is the Son of God, who, in the words of the ancient creed, "for us and for our salvation came down from heaven ... and was made man." In the Evangelical ethos, one either accepts this and goes to heaven or refuses and goes to hell.
Bell, a tall, 40-year-old son of a Michigan federal judge, begs to differ. He suggests that the redemptive work of Jesus may be universal — meaning that, as his book's subtitle puts it, "every person who ever lived" could have a place in heaven, whatever that turns out to be.
[snip] Particularly galling to conservative Christian critics is that Love Wins is not an attack from outside the walls of the Evangelical city but a mutiny from within — a rebellion led by a charismatic, popular and savvy pastor with a following. Is Bell's Christianity — less judgmental, more fluid, open to questioning the most ancient of assumptions — on an inexorable rise?
"I have long wondered if there is a massive shift coming in what it means to be a Christian," Bell says. "Something new is in the air."

Pentagon: Mexican Drug Cartels Threaten Entire U.S.

Should Americans believe Janet Napolitano’s rosy picture of a U.S.-Mexico border that’s “as secure as it has ever been” or a Pentagon assessment that it’s actually a gateway for Mexican criminal organizations that have infiltrated the entire country and joined forces with terrorist groups?
For months the nation’s Homeland Security Secretary has repeatedly insisted that everything is hunky dory on the southwest border, even as violence escalates and overwhelmed federal agents are increasingly attacked by heavily armed drug smugglers. Just last month Napolitano declared that violence along the Mexican border is merely a mistaken “perception” because the area is safe and “open for business.” Furthermore, Madame Secretary assured that “some of America’s safest communities are in the Southwest border region….”
A top Pentagon official contradicts that fairytale assessment, pointing out that Mexican criminal organizations extend well beyond the southwest border to cities across the country, including big ones like Atlanta, Chicago and Detroit. Addressing a U.S. Senate hearing this week, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Counternarcotics and Global Threats William Wechsler warned lawmakers that all their constituencies are confronted by the threat of Mexican drug cartels.
Even more alarming is that, once in the United States, Wechsler says the Mexican criminal groups are becoming more dangerous by forming networks with each other and insurgent or terrorist groups. In some regions the “threat networking” not only engages in drug trafficking but kidnapping, armed robbery, extortion and other serious crimes.
The threat is so great that the assistant Defense Secretary offered federal legislators military assistance in the name of protecting national security.
“Many of the global and regional terrorists who threaten inter
ests of the United States finance their activities with proceeds from narcotics trafficking,” Wechsler reminded, adding that “extremist and international criminal networks frequently exploit local geographical, political or social conditions to establish safe havens from which they can operate with impunity.”

Who could have imagined that the words 'Jon Stewart,' 'praise,' and 'Bill O'Reilly' would ever be mentioned in the same breath? Well nay-sayers, eat your hearts out. Merely a week after lambasting former Fox conservative pundit Glenn Beck on his primetime cable hit, Jon Stewart took to The Daily Show to address another familiar face on Fox this time only to sing the praises of Bill O'Reilly, a popular TV host in his own right on Fox's The O'Reilly Factor.
In a segment cryptically titled "Tales of Principled Behavior," Stewart criticized Republican Presidential hopeful and business honcho Donald Trump, former vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and Representative Michele Bachmann for spreading doubts over Obama's place of birth. In reference to Trump's statement on The Today Show regarding personally funding a research team in Hawaii to prove his belief that Obama was not born in the United States, Stewart impersonated one of Trump's researchers by sardonically putting on a pair of sunglasses and drinking a cocktail, while speaking in an accent that sounded conspicuously similar to the cast of Jersey Shore.
Stewart then played a segment of The O'Reilly Factor in which O'Reilly countered any accusations about Obama's birthplace and birth certificate, concluding that "the President is a controversial guy...but he does deserve to be treated honestly does he not?"
The camera then returned to Stewart who led the audience in applause and motioned tipping his cap, or yamaca as Stewart joked, to O'Reilly, a figure who he is more often than not at odds with.
Although Stewart sarcastically lamented the exit of Glenn Beck from Fox, he certainly has a partner-in-crime in O'Reilly regardless of whether or not he agrees with him, as their reciprocality makes for great TV.

How not to win wars
April 14, 2011Ever wonder why the US military can’t win wars? Why a few ragtag guerillas could send it running out of Somalia (Black Hawk Down)? Why one guy with a truck bomb could chase the Marines out of Lebanon? Why the attempt to rescue the hostages in Iran was such a disaster? Why the world’s most expensive military can’t win its unending wars against peasants with rifles? How is this possible?
Different jobs attract different personalities. The Mike Tysons of the world do not go into ballet, nor do the Mother Teresas become tank commanders.
The career military attracts people who run from the merely abnormal to the frankly weird. For example, they place extreme value on ritual and ceremony, on ribbons and medals and colored things more appropriate to a Christmas tree than to a human being.
They are authoritarian by nature, comfortable in a rigid, hierarchical, and conformist society that most of us would find equally unbearable and absurd. Suppose your boss told everyone in the office that they had to wear exactly the same clothes and stand at attention in the morning to that he could determine whether they had dressed themselves correctly.
Militaries start with odd material......................

Republicans responsible if country defaults: Geithner
Republicans responsible if country defaults: Geithner
Yahoo ^ | 4/14/11 | Rachelle Younglai, Glenn Somerville - Reuters
Posted on Thursday, April 14, 2011 1:12:43 PM by NormsRevenge
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Thursday told Republican lawmakers that they would shoulder the blame if the country got too close to defaulting on its debt and roiled markets worldwide by not approving a debt limit increase.
In yet another warning about the perils of not allowing the U.S. to borrow more to fund already spending already approved by Congress, Geithner said it would be deeply irresponsible for lawmakers to use debt limit negotiations for political gains.
Congress must agree to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling or the legal amount that the country can borrow. But Republicans have said they are unwilling to do so without reforms on government spending and have threatened to take negotiations to the deadline.
"(Lawmakers) will say there's leverage in it, we can advance it. But that would be deeply irresponsible and they will own the risk," Geithner said.
"It won't happen in the end, but if they take it too close to the edge, they will own responsibility for that miscalculation," he said.

O will win the debt debate because Americans are not ready to cut social services, spare wealthy
O will win the debt debate because Americans are not ready to cut social services, spare wealthy
New York Daily News ^ | Thursday, April 14th 2011 | Joshua Greenman

President Obama is going to win the debt debate with House Republicans, for one simple reason:
As troubled as Americans are about the ocean of red ink in which we're treading, as ready as they are to make some sacrifices, they are not willing to make major upfront cuts to valued pieces of the social safety net while sparing the wealthiest among us the slightest tax increase.
And they're not willing to make such cuts while completely sparing the defense budget from the conversation.
Yet that's what Rep. Paul Ryan's plan would do.
Voters are especially not prepared to make these cuts while reducing income taxes on the wealthiest Americans from 36% to 25%, as Ryan would have us do.
Not when, as of 2008, about one-fifth of all income was received by just 1% of earners.
Not when the top 1% of Americans by net worth hold about a third of the country's wealth.
Not when Wall Street bonuses keep rolling in.
Not when median incomes in recent years are flat or falling.
Call this class warfare if you like - it's just basic politics, and what Democrats will call fundamental fairness.
The vast majority knows that the fortunate few can pay a bit more and in the process take the edge off growing pains for the rest of us.
Yes, the debt is a huge problem - and liberals who pooh-pooh the mind-blowing $14 trillion we owe and want to keep borrowing and spending at current rates are delusional.
Liberals who say any reduction to Medicare and Medicaid amount to criminal assault on grandma and apple pie are being histrionic.
But it's just as delusional to believe that the problem can be solved almost entirely by targeting health spending on seniors and the poor.
It's just as histrionic to suggest that a modest tax increase on the wealthy - to Clinton-era levels - will kill jobs, which is exactly what House Speaker John Boehner said yesterday.
None of this means the road for Obama will be easy.
In the coming weeks and months, he and fellow Democrats will have to explain exactly how their plans will slow the growth of Medicare and Medicaid over time.
The President was vague on this point.
And he was unfair to suggest that Republicans want to choke off all investments in the country's future. Even under the Ryan plan, there would be plenty of spending on lots of important priorities.
Come 2012, Obama will be debating a real candidate, not a straw man.
But politically speaking, he got the broad strokes right:
Do not spare the defense budget entirely; we can make modest cuts that preserve our ability to protect ourself. Lean a little more heavily on millionaires and billionaires.The core message will resonate with independents. It will carry the day.

After initially drawing praise for extracting spending concessions while averting a government shutdown, Speaker John Boehner now finds himself on the defense against conservatives who feel they were duped regarding the amount of cuts the bill would entail. It began with a trickle. While most conservatives initially appeared satisfied with the deal Boehner struck, a few leaders, such as Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), signaled early that they might oppose the deal.
Pence, for example, told Fox News he would probably vote against the budget deal, but added that Speaker Boehner “got a good deal”. A few others, like Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, flatly said they would vote against it.

Trump to make 2012 announcement on ‘The Apprentice’

Ever since Donald Trump began soaking up media attention around his possible 2012 presidential run, he's faced plenty of detractors claiming that he's simply using all the 2012 speculation to shore up his celebrity brand.
The latest turn in the Trump political saga isn't exactly going to silence that line of criticism.
The real estate mogul has chosen the season finale of his NBC reality show, "The Apprentice" as the venue for announcing his presidential decision, Newsmax reported late Wednesday. The show is set to air May 15. Newsmax reports that Trump will announce plans to hold a press conference to announce his candidacy in the Trump Tower in New York "a few days after" the finale.
Trump had previously stated he would wait until June to make a final decision about about a presidential campaign.
Newsmax's Ronald Kessler defended Trump from charges of cynical media manipulation. Kessler noted Thursday that even after Trump announces his campaign, he'll still be accused of staging a campaign for publicity. "But that defies the facts and common sense," Kessler wrote. "Of all the people on the planet, Donald Trump is the last person who needs more publicity. And if he is riding a groundswell of support, why would he—or anyone else—decide not to run?"

"Our true choice is not between tax reduction, on the one hand, and the avoidance of large Federal deficits on the other. It is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits…
In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now" -President of the United States of America John F. Kennedy

For years, America’s left-leaning mainstream media outlets have belittled and rebuked members of the new media — questioning their credibility, impugning their integrity and assigning all manner of self-serving motivations to their contributions to the marketplace of ideas.
In the immediate aftermath of the tragic Tucson shooting earlier this year, the legacy press took it a step further — essentially implying that the new media was complicit in the attack on U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords by virtue of the “climate of hate” it helped create in America.
Obviously, the facts of the Tucson case quickly (and completely) debunked this theory — but not before a parade of liberal talking heads had spewed a torrent of reckless vitriol on new media outlets and the First Amendment freedom they exercise.
Fast-forward three months to April 6, when reporter Matthew Boyle of The Daily Caller published a report outlining the details of Barack Obama’s socialized medicine slush fund.
Boyle’s report — like hundreds of investigative pieces published every day by new media outlets — was in and of itself a rebuke of many of the criticisms leveled against Internet journalists by the legacy press. Not only did Boyle accurately relate new primary source material — including excerpts from public documents and Congressional testimony — but he also sought, received and published the response of those with conflicting views regarding this information. On top of that, he presented the facts sans any editorial commentary.
In other words, Boyle’s investigative report was every bit as “pure” journalistically as something you would read in The Washington Post or watch on the CBS Evening News.
Which brings us to the substance of Boyle’s article — the hundreds of thousands of dollars that The Post and CBS have received from the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP), an Obamacare slush fund that has arbitrarily doled out nearly $2 billion to select corporations, government pension funds and labor unions within the last year.
The very existence of this fund — which has been touted as a means of protecting health care coverage prior to the onset of Obama’s unconstitutional socialized medicine law — highlights the dangers inherent in giving government additional control over the health care marketplace. Not only is this fund rife with corruption and mismanagement — as evidenced by these payments to media outlets that are supposed to objectively cover Obamacare — but its borrowed billions have failed to accomplish their objective.
For example, last October Minnesota-based 3M announced that it would no longer offer health insurance to its 23,000 employees thanks to the passage of Obamacare. Meanwhile Chicago-based Boeing is one of several large corporations now requiring its employees to pay higher deductibles and copayments as a result of the new law. So much for Obama’s repeated promises that no one would lose their coverage and that health care costs would go down, right?
Yet despite these failures, taxpayers are still subsidizing a pre-Obamacare bailout — providing grants to artificially prop up coverage that will eventually be covered by new entitlement spending (assuming the law isn’t struck down or repealed first).
Not surprisingly, the mainstream media has written very little about ERRP. In fact, a follow-up report on the blog Hot Air revealed that both The Washington Post and CBS have completely ignored problems with the slush fund secretly bankrolling health care for its early retirees.
According to Hot Air, a search for ERRP on The Post website last week revealed nothing. A search for the full name of the slush fund revealed only one article (a column that referenced a new media report, ironically). Meanwhile on the CBS website, a search for ERRP also produced no entries — while a search for the full name of the slush fund returned only one entry, a link to the Obama administration’s health care reform website.
“It looks like the Post and CBS aren’t interested in covering the fact that ERRP was grossly underfunded and wound up failing to protect existing coverage,” Hot Air noted.
American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox once wrote that “to sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards of men.”
It apparently makes cowards of the media, too — although a compelling case could be made that these mainstream outlets were paid for their silence. Fortunately for taxpayers, the new media was there to uncover and expose the truth regarding this corruption.

It’s Hard To Trump the Truth! Up to now, the media has had a field day dismissing, denigrating and doing their best to destroy, anyone asking any questions regarding the Stranger-in-Chief, disparaging them as “birthers.”
If someone mentions the Constitutional mandate to ensure only, “a natural born citizen”, runs for the White House, they are slandered as “racists”, because this recent electee happens to be a man of, or at least 1/2 a man of, color.
A few known facts
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi signed different documents concerning the eligibility of John McCain, (his says he has been found to be Constitutionally qualified), and the Stranger-in-Chief, (that paragraph concerning qualifying eligibility is not found on his document);
His grandmother insisted until her death that she had been at his birth in Kenya;
There is no evidence of his parents living together in Hawaii at the address on the newspaper birth announcements;
There is evidence that he was educated as a Muslim in Indonesia, and listed his religion as “Islam” even when registered in Catholic school from first to third grade;
His Indonesian school records identify him as Barry Soreto, Indonesian citizen, Muslim.
(This is also possibly why he lost his law license, as he lied on his state filings, saying he had never gone by other names);
The Stranger-in-Chief has a Social Security number from Connecticut, a state with which he has …………to a dead person.
There is more obfuscation in our presidential “invisible man”, but you get the gist. Any reasonable person seeing all this, and knowing the Stranger-in-Chief has three law firms he has paid upwards of $2,000,000 dollars to date to keep hidden every record from every aspect of his past, might have a question or two……

Florida Law Enforcement Officers Mislead & Push the Limit of the Law to Stop Open Carry Rights Bill
Florida Law Enforcement Officers Mislead & Push the Limit of the Law to Stop Open Carry Rights Bill
ammoland.com ^ | 13 April, 2011 | Florida Open Carry
Posted on Thursday, April 14, 2011 9:23:49 AM by marktwain
Florida --(Ammoland.com)- The main provision of Florida Senate Bill 234 would, for the first time since 1987, permit concealed weapon or firearm license holders to carry handguns openly.
On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony regarding the bill.
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Major Ken Davis told of a recent traffic stop of six Tampa Bay Outlaw motorcycle gang members. “Although the six Outlaws were certified gang members, and had histories of criminal arrests, most were also concealed carry permit [sic] holders”, he related.
According to Florida Statute, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services must suspend the licenses of those persons arrested or formally charged with a crime that would disqualify an individual for a license until final disposition of the case, and a licensee who is under an injunction that restrains them from committing acts of domestic violence or acts of repeat violence. Finally, the agency must revoke the license of a licensee who have been found guilty of, had adjudication of guilt withheld for, or had imposition of sentence suspended for one or more crimes of violence within the preceding three years.
One must conclude that Major Davis was either embellishing the facts surrounding the criminal arrests of the certified gang members in order to sway the committee, or his department was derelict in not reporting the disqualifying arrests to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for suspension of the licenses of those involved.
In fact, it appears that members of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office may have violated the law in order to influence the committee members.
During his testimony, Captain Mike Fewless stated, “I actually stopped by every one of you guys’s [sic] office this morning (and) dropped off seven photographs of some biker outlaw gang guys that have carrying concealed firearm permits [sic]. Those are the ones we’re worried about carrying.”
Florida Statute 790.0601 expressly forbids the release of personally identifying information of a person who has applied for or who has received a license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm. The specific circumstances in which that information may be released are with the express written consent of the licensee, by a court order upon showing a good cause, or upon request of a law enforcement agency in connection with performance of lawful duties.
There is no exemption for release of identifying information by anyone for the purposes of furthering a political agenda.
Outright misrepresentation of fact appears to be a tactic our sheriffs are willing to utilize to defeat SB 234. Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson testified that open carry would be evident in the stands at next year’s Daytona 500 auto race. Conveniently, Sheriff Johnson omitted the fact that carry at a professional athletic event is a violation of existing statute, and Daytona International Speedway is a privately owned facility and has the statutory right to have anyone trespassed from the property for any reason, including carry of open or concealed firearms.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly in these times of fiscal austerity, were any public funds utilized to oppose the expansion of Second Amendment rights on behalf of the Florida Sheriffs Association?
Although elected officials, like the sheriffs are exempt, statute forbids anyone else to be compensated for lobbying without being registered as a legislative branch lobbyist. This means that if any non-elected law enforcement officers were compensated for in any way, by any public or private entity, they very well may have been in violation of law. Were any publically owned vehicles used for travel? Did any of the officers use per diem allowance or stay overnight on the taxpayer dime? And how many were on the clock? But even if on their own dime, was it ethical to then wear their uniforms and, ironically, their firearms to the committee meeting?
It is apparent that member agencies of the Florida Sheriffs Association may be willing to embellish circumstances, bend the law, and intentionally misrepresent facts in order to influence the committee and the legislature at large in order to maintain their virtual monopoly on open carry. Ironic since in 1987, when shall-issue concealed carry was being debated, the same association stated they preferred open carry over concealed carry so their deputies would not have to guess at who was armed.

As many as want to be assured of Tea Party support in 2012.
The House leadership has endangered many of the freshmen by overselling a bad deal, turning what could have been just a loss into a test of every member's commitments to their base. In the first major vote of the new Congress, not only is there nothing of significance to point to as a "win," there was a significant amount of disinformation, bad enough in itself, but worse when one considers what it says about the sophistication of the messaging efforts of the leadership's consultants.
"Trust leaves on horseback and returns on foot" is one of the many quotes in Donald Rumsfeld's memoir, and apparently no one in the leadership media team read it. Did they really think no one would notice? Or remember?
The Whip count is interesting, but like the vote on TARP, this one is going to be remembered. If many more Republicans begin to break and speak bluntly, Thursday could be a very bad day for the Speaker and, much worse, for the country as the "adult party" separates from the political movement that elected it. The Speaker has been very badly served by his communications team which from the start of the Congress has seemed almost intent on digging a deep trench between the Speaker and the conservative base and Tea Party volunteers.
What were they thinking?
Now the Speaker is attempting to persuade the public that he is really serious on the debt limit. He may have an easier time persuading the MSM than he will his party's core supporters.

Recently the 9th Circuit denied rehearing a case which permitted police to search a home without any suspicion whatsoever. The Chief Judge of the 9th Circuit, Alex Kozinski, penned an artful dissent, pointing out the damage done by allowing such a decision in the lower court to stand. Although case law of all other Circuits is contrary to the ruling in the case, Judge Kozinski points out that the case law in the 9th Circuit should have led to a similar ruling.
So what does this mean for us? First, the law/government/constitution will not always protect you, protect family or friends from intrusion. It is up to individuals to take measures to have a family protection plan. Fortunately, tools for a family protection plan still exist. Things like anonymous web surfing, encrypted email, cell phone security, and protecting your Facebook profile, when used together, can carve out a private area inside the fishbowl where you and your family can avoid the watchful eyes of the idiots.............................

The "Celestial Speed-Up"
According to this “information,” the world situation was worsening at an alarming pace. People all over the world were being called back to help, and were developing what to them were highly unexpected talents, each making his individual contribution to an overall, prearranged plan.
I had apparently agreed to take down a course in miracles which the Voice would dictate to me as part of the agreement, and my doing it was actually my reason for coming.
It did not really involve unexpected abilities, since I would be using abilities I had developed very long ago, but which I was not yet ready to use again. And that was why I would have so much trouble doing it. However, people had reached a point where they were losing more than they were gaining.
Thus, because of the acute emergency, the usual slow, evolutionary process of spiritual development was being by-passed in what might be called a “celestial speed-up.”

Not since the Rev. Terry Jones lit up the Koran have we seen such madness, but Donald Trump has managed to inflame Obama's legions of lickspittle automatons. Trump's sacrilege has the likes of Eugene Robinson, Mike Daly and Stewart Rothenberg all frothing at the mouth not unlike an unwashed mob of Afghan reprobates in Kandahar. Whether it's Trump's potential candidacy in 2012 or that he has the audacity to ask that very question that much of America is asking - Why does Obama refuse to be transparent with the American people? Someone needs to tell these pathetic little apparatchiks that they are just so 2008.
The left's halcyon days of 2008 where we as a nation crossed that momentous symbolic line , and Chris Matthew's got a thrill up his leg are long since over. It's 2011 and much of America is finally waking from up their drunken stupor and asking how they could have ever elected a man that they knew nothing about. Across the nation, people are asking why Barack Obama, a man who pledged that transparency would be a vanguard of his presidency is being so secretive about his past. So here we are now in 2011 and even Chris Matthew's is asking why Barack Hussein Obama refuses to release his birth records.
It is the main stream media and pathetic fools like Daly, Robinson and Rothenberg who pimped this fraud on the American people without him duly being vetted. Instead of vetting Obama, the mainstream media shielded Obama from any scrutiny into Obama's past. Obama's academic and medical records have all been sealed and not one person in the mainstream media has had the courage to ask "Why"?
Obama's view of America and our role in the world is perplexing to say the least. In Strasbourg, France Obama denigrated America and then criticized Americans for their failure to recognize Europe's leading role in the world and in Cairo Obama continued to speak ill of America to the point where a Middle East authority commented that Obama didn't seem to understand that "it is considered bad form, nay a great moral lapse, to speak ill of one's own tribe when in the midst, and in the lands, of others." Can anything be more shameful?
Most Americans are proud of their nation, they see America as an exceptional nation and they, unlike Obama are proud of their heritage. So Donald Trump doesn't see Barack Hussein Obama as one of us. Well neither does Obama.

Sometimes I would overhear him and my mother arguing in their bedroom, usually about her refusal to attend his company dinner parties, where American businessmen from Texas and Louisiana would slap Lolo's back and boast about the palms they had greased to obtain the new offshore drilling rights, while their wives complained to my mother about the quality of Indonesian help. He would ask her how it would look for him to go alone, and remind her that these were her own people, and my mother’s voice would rise to almost a shout.
‘They are not my people!’ "
Regardless of where Barack Hussein Obama was born, the reality is, that he isn't one of us.
The left's halcyon days of 2008 where we as a nation crossed that momentous symbolic line , and Chris Matthew's got a thrill up his leg are long since over. It's 2011 and much of America is finally waking from up their drunken stupor and asking how they could have ever elected a man that they knew nothing about. Across the nation, people are asking why Barack Obama, a man who pledged that transparency would be a vanguard of his presidency is being so secretive about his past. So here we are now in 2011 and even Chris Matthew's is asking why Barack Hussein Obama refuses to release his birth records.
It is the main stream media and pathetic fools like Daly, Robinson and Rothenberg who pimped this fraud on the American people without him duly being vetted. Instead of vetting Obama, the mainstream media shielded Obama from any scrutiny into Obama's past. Obama's academic and medical records have all been sealed and not one person in the mainstream media has had the courage to ask "Why"?
Obama's view of America and our role in the world is perplexing to say the least. In Strasbourg, France Obama denigrated America and then criticized Americans for their failure to recognize Europe's leading role in the world and in Cairo Obama continued to speak ill of America to the point where a Middle East authority commented that Obama didn't seem to understand that "it is considered bad form, nay a great moral lapse, to speak ill of one's own tribe when in the midst, and in the lands, of others." Can anything be more shameful?
Most Americans are proud of their nation, they see America as an exceptional nation and they, unlike Obama are proud of their heritage. So Donald Trump doesn't see Barack Hussein Obama as one of us. Well neither does Obama.
From Dreams from My Father -

Secular Pharisees by Coach Dave Daubenmire
Secular Pharisees
All “religion” is man centered, controlled by the thoughts of the mind, rather than the conviction of the heart. Jesus warned us, that “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.” Leaders of religions create rules which they then require the people follow. Tithing is not a New Testament principle, yet thousands of pastors preach it. Tithing is “religious,” while “freely giving” is Christ-like. Tithing is of the head; “freely giving” is of the heart........

Republicans React to Obama’s Speech: ‘And I Missed Lunch for This?” Thursday, April 14, 2011 By Susan Jones
(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama gave three Republicans -- Reps. Paul Ryan (Wis.) Dave Camp (Mich.), and Jeb Hesarling (Texas) -- a front-row seat at his "deficit" speech on Wednesday, then proceeded to blast the Republicans' detailed plan to fix the nation's economic woes, without offering details of his own.
According to Obama, Republicans have concluded that "even though we can't afford to care for seniors and poor children, we can somehow afford more than $1 trillion in new tax breaks for the wealthy." He also accused Republicans of wanting to end Medicare “as we know it.”
Rep. Jeb Hensarling said he was honored to receive an invitation to the speech, but as it turns out, it was something he could have watched back at his office: "I don’t know about my colleagues, but I thought to myself, ‘And I missed lunch for this?’" Hensarling said afterwards.
“This was not a speech designed for America to win the future. This was a speech designed for the president to attempt to win reelection. This was a speech that prioritizes the next election over the next generation. It was a speech that was heavy on aspirational goals and exceedingly light on specific proposals," Hensarling said.

Thanks to Donald Trump—real-estate mogul, reality-TV star, and possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination—a fringe conspiracy theory is now front and center in American politics: the claim that President Barack Obama might not be a natural-born American citizen.
By focusing on Mr. Obama's birth certificate, Mr. Trump has garnered a lot of attention and some support. According to the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, among Republicans he is now tied with Mike Huckabee as the most popular prospective GOP presidential nominee.

Because some crusty apparatchiks are imposing every manner of economic control over Russia and a few satellites, U.S. foreign policy must absorb the whole of our beings? So much for limited government.
The rhetoric had to be hysterical to overcome a few obvious problems. Russia is a faraway country and the notion of an invasion was about as likely as one from Mars. Russia, an authoritarian state operating under the ideological cover of Communism, had only a few years earlier been declared our valiant ally in the struggle against Japan and Germany.

And of course the media has not investigated Obama’s past … certainly not like it did about Bush’s DUI and his stint in the National Guard... Even our own judicial branch refuses to allow Americans to obtain an answer to this question claiming that “we the people” do not have standing. “We the people” are the ones who authorized this government. So for the judicial branch to say that American citizens have no standing to pursue an answer negates the position of “we the people” in the contract with our government called the US Constitution. ..This makes us question everything else that is done by the courts...
It is virtually certain that Obama ...inherited citizenships in Kenya and in Indonesia from his father (Obama) and/or from his step father (Soetoro )...
If Obama ever used the citizenship of a foreign government to attend college as a foreign exchange student or to obtain a passport or for any other reason, he accepted naturalization (even if dual-citizenship) in a foreign country as an adult and is not eligible to be president. The Founders were deeply concerned about dual citizenship of a future President and specifically negated this posibility by requiring full allegiance and natural born citizenship.
Was he really born in the USA? Is he a natural born citizen?
...none of this matters if Obama accepted naturalization from a foreign country as an adult. That would eliminate him from eligibility...
So why did Barack Hussein seal his college documents, his passports, and his long form birth certificate? What is he hiding?

TWA 800 - Still a Clinton federal government coverup.

. . . . .
During an email conversation with one of my radio show listeners -- retired airline pilot JetDriver2 -- the topic of the DC-10 aircraft came up then quickly shifted over to TWA 800 and its mysterious plunge from the sky over Long Island. The conversation went from there. With his permission I have reprinted it here.
***
TWA was acquired by American two months after my retirement in Nov 2000. We never recovered from the July 1996 shoot-down of TWA 800 described by Jack Cashill in his book “First Strike”. This was a massive cover-up (for which I have personal evidence) ordered by Bill Clinton, who also ordered the assassination of Ron Brown described in another Cashill book “Ron Brown’s Body” which I recently read.
Yes TWA 800 was absolutely shot down. The FAA knows it and the FBI knows it. There was explosive residue on the seat cushions and a hole in the reconstructed fuselage. Many pieces of the wreckage were confiscated by the FBI and never seen again, including pieces identified by TWA volunteers working in the hangar at Calverton as showing missile damage.
There is no way that jet fuel fumes in an empty center fuel tank could have blown up that plane. Jet fuel is not volatile and is very difficult to ignite, nor was there enough energy in the residual fuel in the center tank to produce an explosion of that magnitude. There is testimony on this point by scientists.
There is an audiotape of an ANG helicopter pilot who was a former Navy Search and Rescue pilot in Vietnam, and who is also an attorney on Long Island. He was shooting a practice approach in the direction of the TWA 800 explosion. He testified that he saw the missile trail and he saw the explosion – it was an ordnance explosion, not a fuel explosion. This guy is familiar with anti-aircraft missiles and with military ordnance.

Seventy-five year old Perry Thrasher is a veteran in the spinal cord unit at the Memphis VA Hospital.
He is paralyzed, but his family says he wanted a confederate flag for his room.
"His granddaddy was in the Confederate War and it means a lot to him because he served in it. It's just his heritage," says Diane Boatner, Thrasher's daughter.
She was shocked by what happened Friday.
"He was all upset and crying. The VA Police had come and told him he couldn't have it. He had it right over his bed," says Boatner.
She says a nurse saw the flag and was offended.
Hospital police said the flag had to come down.

Word to Donald Trump: Nothing scares our Lilliputian media like facts. Each fact you present makes them rethink their petty little mission to whittle you down to size.
When asked why you don't take President Obama's word that he was born in America, simply reply, "Why should I? The story he has been telling America about the first two years of his life is provably and profoundly untrue."
This will sting. The Lilliputians have invested great emotional equity in what Obama-friendly biographer David Remnick calls his "signature appeal: the use of the details of his own life as a reflection of a kind of multicultural ideal."
From the beginning, Team Obama has worked hard to protect the investment. This has meant shielding the world from all salient documentation about Obama's life, his long-form birth certificate included.
In the last few years, Obama's nativity story has been told almost as often as Jesus' but with nowhere near the accuracy. Obama led with it in his 2004 convention speech and repeated it in the first sentence of his 2008 speech.
As Obama told the story in 2004, his father had grown up in Kenya "herding goats." His mother he traced to Kansas, as he always did. "My parents shared not only an improbable love," Obama continued, "they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation."
Obama refined his story for a critical speech in Selma, Ala., in March 2007, a speech that would define his presidential campaign....

Is Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro?
Is Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro?
Dallas Blog ^ | April 14, 2011 | Tom McGregor
Posted on Thursday, April 14, 2011 2:59:44 AM by 2ndDivisionVet
The Dallas Blog has just received an e-mail from a reliable source in Texas, who said he received an interesting e-mail from a U.S. Naval officer, who obtained a fascinating letter from an I.R.S. examiner who contends that Mr. Obama’s real name is Barry Soetoro, according to alleged Top-Secret tax records.
My reliable Texas source explained that he’s not certain if it’s true, but the letter also provides a link to Obama or Soetoro’s selective service registration information, which looks highly-suspicious. Well, let the fun start and see if these allegations are true. Here’s a copy-and-paste of the letter from the IRS examiner:
Trump is right, Barry Soetoro, AKA Obama is hiding what appears to be a criminal past.
Trump is correct, Barry Soetoro, AKA Obama is hiding something in his past that is very bad... and it may not be his citizenship. (Trump would not say this if he did not know something and he has the money to get the dirt...)
As an IRS tax examiner,one of many former federal jobs, I have seen what it appears Barry Soetoro has done, mostly by illegal aliens attempting to acquire a new identity in the U.S and/or criminals looking to acquire a new ID.
Barry, AKA Obama, was lawfully adopted by a foreign national, Lolo Soetoro, and Barry's name was legally changed to "Barry Soetoro". (Barry’s own admission) Barry Soetoro was also made an official legal Indonesian citizen. (again Barry’s own admission) The adoption would be noted in Barry's vital statistics record in Hawaii on his original birth certificate... OR Lolo Soetoro may have always been Barry's legal birth farther. The public does not know for sure at this point who Barry's father really was and Barry himself may not know.
Barry was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia and attended a Catholic funded school that permitted all faiths to attend.
Barry's mother dropped him as a dependent for some reason, maybe even when Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. His mother's passport records dropped Barry as a dependent indicating Barry was no longer a legal dependent of his mothers. (The passport records of his mother have been produced showing Barry was no longer a dependent when Barry was permanently residing in Indonesia.) Barry went to Hawaii to live with his alleged grand parents after Lolo Soetoro and Barry's mother divorced.
A "certificate of live birth" can have names changed on it including a child's birth name, and birth parent’s names. Even a modified date of birth can be on a "certificate of live birth". This occurs frequently for adopted children where the birth parent does not want the child to know who they are. The public has no idea who Barry’s real birth father is or who Barry’s real birth mother is. (Barry could have been adopted by his mother) The original birth certificate is the only legal vital statistics record of a person’s birth parents, birth location, birth date, etc… I can get a “certificate of live birth” for a dead person; I cannot get a birth certificate of a dead person without “Deceased” on it. (I’ve tried)
There is no evidence Barry Soetoro ever lawfully changed his name to “Barrack Hussein Obama”. There is no proof Barry Soetoro was born with the name "Barrack Hussein Obama". I’m willing to bet the name “Barrack Hussein Obama” is not present on the real birth certificate as Barry’s birth name or as Barry’s birth father. I have pictures of me with my mother and Jimmy Buffet… that doesn’t make him my father even if I start using the name Jimmy Buffet...............................................

His mother's passport records dropped Barry as a dependent indicating Barry was no longer a legal dependent of his mothers. (The passport records of his mother have been produced showing Barry was no longer a dependent when Barry was permanently residing in Indonesia.) Barry went to Hawaii to live with his alleged grand parents after Lolo Soetoro and Barry's mother divorced.
A "certificate of live birth" can have names changed on it including a child's birth name, and birth parent’s names. Even a modified date of birth can be on a "certificate of live birth". This occurs frequently for adopted children where the birth parent does not want the child to know who they are. The public has no idea who Barry’s real birth father is or who Barry’s real birth mother is. (Barry could have been adopted by his mother) The original birth certificate is the only legal vital statistics record of a person’s birth parents, birth location, birth date, etc… I can get a “certificate of live birth” for a dead person; I cannot get a birth certificate of a dead person without “Deceased” on it. (I’ve tried)
There is no evidence Barry Soetoro ever lawfully changed his name to “Barrack Hussein Obama”. There is no proof Barry Soetoro was born with the name "Barrack Hussein Obama". I’m willing to bet the name “Barrack Hussein Obama” is not present on the real birth certificate as Barry’s birth name or as Barry’s birth father. I have pictures of me with my mother and Jimmy Buffet… that doesn’t make him my father even if I start using the name Jimmy Buffet...............................................

The most dangerous man in the world isn't Osama bin Laden, Al-Qaeda's lead singer. The most dangerous man in the world isn't Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's nutjob dictator. Even our incompetent Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, who controls the nuclear arsenal of the United States, isn't as dangerous as this man. The most dangerous man in the world is George $oros, Socialist Sugar Daddy Supreme.
Yes, I know. I'm a conspiracy theorist, I'm mourning the loss of the Glenn Beck show on FOX News, my tinfoil hat is too tight, I shouldn't skip my meds, blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda. I got it. I know that there will be those who are too drunk on either Kool-Aid or Haterade to understand what I am about to tell them. That's fine. I don't care. The truth must be told, consequences and criticism be damned.
To illustrate the danger that is George $oros, I'm going to use what I like to call "$oros Chains of Oppression". Here's an example:...........................................
