New Navy Ships: Here's a glimpse of the new aircraft carrier USS Reagan and two other
unique ships. USS REAGAN Seeing it next to the Arizona Memorial really puts
its size into perspective... ENORMOUS!
When the Bridge pipes 'Man the Rail' there is a lot of rail to man on this monster: shoulder to shoulder, around 4.5 acres. Her displacement is about 100,000 tons with full complement. Capability
Top speed exceeds 30 knots, powered by two nuclear reactors that can operate for more than 20 years without refueling
1. Expected to operate in the fleet for about 50 years
2. Carries over 80 combat aircraft
3. Three arresting cables can stop a 28-ton aircraft going 150 miles per hour in less than 400 feet
Size
1. Towers 20 stories above the waterline
2. 1092 feet long; nearly as long as the Empire State Building is tall
5. 2 rudders, each 29 by 22 feet and weighing 50 tons
6. 4 high speed aircraft elevators, each over 4,000 square feet
Capacity
1. Home to about 6,000 Navy personnel
2. Carries enough food and supplies to operate for 90 days
3. 18,150 meals served daily
4. Distillation plants provide 400,000 gallons of fresh water from sea water daily, enough for 2,000 homes
5. Nearly 30,000 light fixtures and 1,325 miles of cable and wiring 1,400 telephones
6. 14,000 pillowcases and 28,000 sheets
USS BILL CLINTON
The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today from its
home port of Vancouver , BC
The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton 'for his foresight in military budget cuts' and his conduct while holding the (formerly dignified) office of President. The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which, although they cannot be launched on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very menacing presence. As a standing order, there are no firearms allowed on board.This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs. An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may seem hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere. In times of conflict, the USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada .
USS BARACK OBAMA
Details are vague.
But don't you worry..........he has a plan.
This
is another fine example of what your president and his cronies are
making excuses for. Nice huh? So if you feel you want to pay for this
idiots trip to Harvard or whatever other bastion of higher learning he
goes to, please raise your hand.
Yeah, that's a scumbag Wall Street protester SHITTING on the AMERICAN FLAG!
Most Americans are not politically aware.
While they can name all 5 finalists on American Idol, they cannot name their Congressman.
It’s
nice they have priorities. And it explains how we have the morons we
have governing us in Washington presently. The Tea Party movement came
out of nowhere to stand up and speak out against out-of-control
government spending. While the Tea Party has been vilified by liberals and the Democrat party, it has continued to grow in strength.
Leftists
have used everything from Alinsky tactics to lying to name calling to
the total use of the mainstream media to destroy the Tea Party. But they
underestimated the patriotism of the producers in America who support
the Constitution and believe in capitalism.
Many of the American
Idol experts sit idly by listening to Chris Matthews and Katie Couric
disparage the Tea Party movement. They had nothing to compare the
movement to. All of that changed when the Occupy Wall Street circus came
to New York and spread quickly across the country.
Like an infection. Small
bands of idiots with stupid signs printed by unions spouting lunacy
have littered and shit across the formerly pristine parks they now
infest in dozens of American cities.
What a stark difference from the Tea Party movement!
Patriots
holding American flags have orderly events with poignant messages about
liberty and freedom and then leave in an orderly fashion.
Contrast that with the Occupy Wall Street miscreants!
Arrests,
police being assaulted, rapes, flag burnings, pro-communist chanting,
garbage, crapping in the streets an parks, incessant drumming, filth,
profanity and lots and lots of losers who still don’t really know why
they’re there!
Americans now clearly have a
choice of what political ideology they want to support. On the one side,
they can support hard working, law-abiding, patriots who pay this
nation’s bills or they can support the moochers who don’t bathe while
calling for killing the rich…whoever they are…and socialism!
What does this say? It says that Obama and the Democrat Party and the Unions are organizing and financing, supports this group of leftist wasteoids while lying about tax paying, productive Americans in the Tea Party!It
says the Democrat party must go away until it can return to the
political scene as a serious, pro-American party instead of a party more
aligned with America ’s enemies!
Thank you George Soros and labor unions! You
have exposed the idiocy of socialism once again and the stupidity of
the people who call for it. Stalin used to call these people “useful
idiots.” Angry White Dude calls them “useless idiots!” And the best thing that ever happened to the Tea Party movement and America !
Look hard, America, at what your liberal schools and government have created! And bring a bar of soap and a hose!
Islam in a nutshell This,
not the Chinese or the Russians represent the greatest threat to the
world and might be the fulfillment of the book of Revelation in the Holy
Bible.
Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam
has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military
components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other
components. Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When
politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree
to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the Other components tend to creep in as well. Here's how it works: As
long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given
country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving
minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in: United States -- Muslim 0.6% Australia -- Muslim 1.5% Canada -- Muslim 1.9% China -- Muslim 1.8% Italy -- Muslim 1.5% Norway -- Muslim 1.8% At
2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and
disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among
street gangs. This is happening in: Denmark -- Muslim 2% Germany -- Muslim 3.7% United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7% Spain -- Muslim 4% Thailand -- Muslim 4.6% From
5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their
percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the
introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby
securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure
on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with
threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in: France -- Muslim 8% Philippines -- 5% Sweden -- Muslim 5% Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3% The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8% At
this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them
to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law.
The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world. When
Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase
lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we
are already seeing car-burnings. . Any non-Muslim action offends Islam
and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with
opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are
seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections in: Guyana -- Muslim 10% India -- Muslim 13.4% Israel -- Muslim 16% Kenya -- Muslim 10% Russia -- Muslim 15% After
reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia
formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian Churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in: Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8% At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in: Bosnia -- Muslim 40% Chad -- Muslim 53.1% Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7% From
60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all
other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic
cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax
placed on infidels, such as in: Albania -- Muslim 70% Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4% Qatar -- Muslim 77.5% Sudan -- Muslim 70% After
80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run
ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the
infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and
in some ways is on-going in: Bangladesh -- Muslim 83% Egypt -- Muslim 90% Gaza -- Muslim 98.7% Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1% Iran -- Muslim 98% Iraq -- Muslim 97% Jordan -- Muslim 92% Morocco -- Muslim 98.7% Pakistan -- Muslim 97% Palestine -- Muslim 99% Syria -- Muslim 90% Tajikistan -- Muslim 90% Turkey -- Muslim 99.8% United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96% 100%
will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of
Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim,
the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word,
such as in: Afghanistan -- Muslim 100% Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100% Somalia -- Muslim 100% Yemen -- Muslim 100% Unfortunately,
peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical
Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by
killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons. 'Before
I was nine, I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me
against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family
against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe
against the world, and all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, 'The
Haj' It
is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100%
Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations
live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which
they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these
ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim
religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into
the community at large. The children attend madrasses. They learn only
the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with
death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and
extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.
Today's
1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their
birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists,
Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's
population by the end of this century. Well, boys and girls, today we are letting the fox guard the henhouse. The wolves will be herding the sheep! Obama appoints two devout Muslims to Homeland Security posts. Doesn't this make you feel safer already? Obama and Janet Napolitano appoint Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development. DHS
Secretary Janet Napolitano swore in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim who
was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a
member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). NOTE:
Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a
devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant...? Just
wondering. Devout Muslims being appointed to critical Homeland Security positions? Doesn't this make you feel safer already?? That should make the US' homeland much safer, huh!! Was it not "Devout Muslim men" that flew planes into U.S. buildings 8 years ago? Was it not a Devout Muslim who killed 13 at Fort Hood? Also:
This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to
finish. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not
speaking out about any atrocities. Can a good Muslim be a good American?
This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for
20 years. The following is his reply: Theologically - no . . . Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)(Koran) Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran. Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day. Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.. Politically
- no.Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who
teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great
Satan. Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34) Intellectually
- no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is
based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt. Philosophically
- no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of
religion and expression.. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every
Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic. Spiritually
- no. Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' the Christian's
God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly
father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names. Therefore,
after much study and deliberation. ... Perhaps we should be very
suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. - - - They obviously cannot
be both 'good' Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish, it's
still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand
this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The
religious war is bigger than we know or understand. Can a Muslim be a good soldier??? Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, opened fire at Ft. Hood and Killed 13. He is a good Muslim!!! Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within.

"I'm 63 and Im Tired" by Robert A. Hall
I'm 63. Except
for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month
period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked,
hard,since
I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks,
and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good
salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get
where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm
tired. Very tired.
I'm tired of
being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have
my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the
money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to
earn it.
I'm tired of
being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their
homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help.
But ifthey
bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000
condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing
Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community
Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own
money.
I'm tired of
being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael
Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury
because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they
get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe, the
freedom of the press of China, the crime and violence of Mexico,
the tolerance for Christian people of Iran, and the freedom of speech
of Venezuela.
I'm tired of
being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can
read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters,
wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over
some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because
they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of
Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of
Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of
Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
I'm tired of
being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world
of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower
college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them
the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto
culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more
than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois.
I think it's
very cool that we have a black president and that a black child
is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the
Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi
Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and
less arrogantly of an all-knowing government.
I'm tired of
a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were
obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful;
that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but
Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and
stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but
never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two
years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama
with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever.
Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox
News? Get a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.
I'm tired of
being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi
Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools
to preach hate in America, while no American group is allowed to fund a
church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and
tolerance.
I'm tired of
being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming,
which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom
apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a
three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our
carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than
Gore, you're green enough.
I'm tired of
being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support
and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush
out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses
while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be
Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired
of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them
I never tried marijuana.
I'm tired of
illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones
who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next?
Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"? And, no, I'm not
against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few
hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm
willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak
English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting
without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in
our military.... Those are the citizens we need.
I'm tired of
latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the
Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a
recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit
at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and
death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad
things happen in war? You
bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with
the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty
years and still are? Not
even close. So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all
the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or
Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by
the Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the
Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in
Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture
rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of
schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll
compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops
in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of
hiding from in fear.
I'm tired of people tellingme
that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a
corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm
tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois ,
where the "Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public
for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.
I'm tired of
hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties
talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes,
when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm
tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing
people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor.
The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know
we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition
of poor to keep the dollars flowing.
I'm real tired of
people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions.
I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination
or big-whatever for their problems.
Yes, I'm damn tired.
But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to
see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for
my granddaughter.

Professor
Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul ,
Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning last November's Presidential election:
·Number of States won by: Obama:19McCain: 29
·Square miles of land won by: Obama:580,000McCain: 2,427,000
·Population of counties won by: Obama:127MMcCain: 143 M
·Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama:13.2McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostlythe land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Obama territory mostlyencompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson
believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency
and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with
some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the
"governmental dependency" phase.
If
Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
invaders called illegals - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to
theUSA in fewer than five years.

A Stranger in Our Midst
By Robert Weissberg, Professor of Political Science - Emeritus at the University of Illinois , Urbana
As
the Obama administration enters its second year, I -- and undoubtedly
millions of others -- have struggled to develop a shorthand term that
captures our emotional unease. Defining this discomfort is tricky. I
reject nearly the entire Obama agenda, but the term "being opposed"
lacks an emotional punch. Nor do terms like "worried" or "anxious"
apply. I was more worried about America 's future during the Johnson or
Carter years, so it's not that dictionary, either. Nor, for that
matter, is this about backroom odious deal-making and pork, which are
endemic in American politics.
After auditioning countless
political terms, I finally realized that the Obama administration and
its congressional collaborators almost resemble a foreign occupying
force, a coterie of politically and culturally non-indigenous leaders
whose rule contravenes local values rooted in our national tradition.
It is as if the United States has been occupied by a foreign power, and
this transcends policy objections. It is not about Obama's birthplace.
It is not about race, either; millions of white Americans have had
black mayors and black governors, and this unease about out-of-synch
values never surfaced.
The term I settled on is "alien rule" --
based on outsider values, regardless of policy benefits -- that
generates agitation. This is what bloody anti-colonial strife was all
about. No doubt, millions of Indians and Africans probably grasped that
expelling the British guaranteed economic ruin and even worse
governance, but at least the mess would be their mess. Just travel to
Afghanistan and witness American military commanders' efforts to enlist
tribal elders with promises of roads, clean water, dental clinics, and
all else that America can freely provide. Many of these elders probably
privately prefer abject poverty to foreign occupation since it would be
their poverty, run by their people, according to their sensibilities.
This
disquiet was a slow realization. Awareness began with Obama's odd
pre-presidency associations, decades of being oblivious to Rev. Wright's
anti-American ranting, his enduring friendship with the terrorist
guy-in-the-neighborhood Bill Ayers, and the Saul Alinsky-flavored
anti-capitalist community activism. Further add a hazy personal
background -- an Indonesian childhood, shifting official names, and a
paperless-trail climb through elite educational institutions.
None
of this disqualified Obama from the presidency; rather, this background
just doesn't fit with the conventional political résumé. It is just
the "outsider" quality that alarms. For all the yammering about George
W. Bush's privileged background, his made-in-the-USA persona was
absolutely indisputable. John McCain might be embarrassed about his
Naval Academy class rank and iffy combat performance, but there was
never any doubt of his authenticity. Countless conservatives despised
Bill Clinton, but nobody ever, ever doubted his good-old-boy American
bonafides.
The suspicion that Obama is an outsider, a figure who
really doesn't "get" America , grew clearer from his initial
appointments. What "native" would appoint Kevin Jennings, a militant
gay activist, to oversee school safety? Or permit a Marxist
rabble-rouser to be a "green jobs czar"? How about an Attorney General
who began by accusing Americans of cowardice when it comes to discussing
race? And who can forget Obama's weird defense of his pal Louis Henry
Gates from "racist" Cambridge , Massachusetts cops? If the American
Revolution had never occurred and the Queen had appointed Obama Royal
Governor (after his distinguished service in Kenya ), a trusted locally
attuned aide would have first whispered in his ear, "Mr. Governor
General, here in America , we do not automatically assume that the
police were at fault," and the day would have been saved.
And
then there's the "we are sorry, we'll never be arrogant again" rhetoric
seemingly designed for a future President of the World election
campaign. What made Obama's Cairo utterances so distressing was how
they grated on American cultural sensibilities. And he just doesn't
notice, perhaps akin to never hearing Rev. Wright anti-American
diatribes. An American president does not pander to third-world
audiences by lying about the Muslim contribution to America . Imagine
Ronald Reagan, or any past American president, trying to win friends by
apologizing. This appeal contravenes our national character and far
exceeds a momentary embarrassment about garbled syntax or poor
delivery. Then there's Obama's bizarre, totally unnecessary deep bowing
to foreign potentates. Americans look foreign leaders squarely in the
eye and firmly shake hands; we don't bow.
But far worse is
Obama's tone-deafness about American government. How can any ordinary
American, even a traditional liberal, believe that jamming through
unpopular, debt-expanding legislation that consumes one-sixth of our
GDP, sometimes with sly side-payments and with a thin majority, will
eventually be judged legitimate? This is third-world,
maximum-leader-style politics. That the legislation was barely
understood even by its defenders and vehemently championed by a
representative of that typical American city, San Francisco , only
exacerbates the strangeness. And now President Obama sides with illegal
aliens over the State of Arizona , which seeks to enforce the federal
immigration law to protect American citizens from marauding drug gangs
and other miscreants streaming in across the Mexican border.
Reciprocal
public disengagement from President Obama is strongly suggested by
recent poll data on public trust in government. According to a recent
Pew report, only 22% of those asked trust the government always or most
of the time, among the lowest figures in half a century. And while
pro-government support has been slipping for decades, the Obama
presidency has sharply exacerbated this drop. To be sure, many factors
(in particular the economic downturn) contribute to this decline, but
remember that Obama was recently elected by an often wildly enthusiastic
popular majority. The collapse of trust undoubtedly transcends policy
quibbles or a sluggish economy -- it is far more consistent with a
deeper alienation.
Perhaps the clearest evidence for this
"foreigner in our midst" mentality is the name given our resistance --
tea parties, an image that instantly invokes the American struggle
against George III, a clueless foreign ruler from central casting. This
history-laden label was hardly predetermined, but it instantly stuck
(as did the election of Sen. Scott Brown as "the shot heard around the
world" and tea partiers dressing up in colonial-era costumes). Perhaps
subconsciously, Obama does remind Americans of when the U.S. was really
occupied by a foreign power. A Declaration of Independence passage may
still resonate: "HE [George III] has erected a Multitude of new Offices
[Czars], and sent hither Swarms of Officers [recently hired IRS agents]
to harass our People, and eat out the Substance."

Don’t know if he
really said all of this but I like it……
FINALLY SOMEONE FROM HOLLYWOOD WHO
MAKES SOME SENSE !!!
Only he could get
away with this ....
Hello, dummies! Oh my God, look at you. Anyone else hurt in
the accident?
Seriously, Senator Reid has a face of a
Saint - A Saint Bernard. Now I know why they call you the arithmetic
man. You add partisanship, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and
multiply ignorance. Reid is so physically unimposing, he makes Pee Wee
Herman look like Mr. T. And Reid's so dumb, he makes Speaker Pelosi
look like an intellectual. Nevada is soooo screwed! If I were less
polite, I'd say Reid makes Kevin Federline look successful.
Speaking
of the Speaker ... Nancy Pelosi, hubba, hubba! Hey baby, you
must've been something before electricity. Seriously, the Speaker may
look like an idiot and talks like an idiot but don't let that fool
you. She really is an idiot.
Charlie Rangel ... still
alive and still robbing the taxpayers blind. What does that make, six
decades of theft? Rangel's the only man with a rent-controlled
mansion. He's the guy who writes our tax laws but forgot to pay taxes on
$75 grand in rental income! So why isn't he the Treasury Secretary?
Rangel runs more scams than a Nigerian Banker.
Barney Frank ...
he's a better actor than Fred Flintstone. Consider that he and Dodd
caused the whole financial meltdown, and they're not only not serving
time with Bubba and Rodney, they're still heading up the financial
system! Let's all admit it ... Barney Frank slobbers more than a
sheepdog on Novocain.. How did this guy get elected? Oh, that's right
... he's from Massachusetts . That's the state that elects Mr.
Charisma, John Kerry -- man of the people!
You know, if Senator
Dodd were any more crooked, you could open wine bottles with him. Here's
a news flash, Dodd: when your local newspaper calls you a "lying
weasel," it may be time to retire. Dodd's involved in more shady
deals than the Clintons . Even Rangel looks up to him!
Press
Secretary Robert Gibbs, I really respect you ... especially
given your upbringing ~ All you've overcome. I heard your birth
certificate is an apology from the condom factory. I don't know what
makes you so dumb, but it really works for you. Personally, I don't
think you're a fool, but what's my opinion compared to that of thousands
of others?
As for President Obama, what can I say? They
say President Obama's arrogant and aloof, but I don't agree. Now it's
true when you enter the room, you have to kiss his ring. I don't mind,
but he has it in his back pocket. His mind is open to new ideas --
so open that ideas simply pass through it. Obama lies so much, I was
actually surprised to find out his first name really was Barack. Just
don't ask about his middle name! But Obama was able to set a record
... he actually lied more in 60 days thanBill Clinton.
FOR THOSE THAT VOTED FOR "HOPE AND CHANGE".....
BEND OVER AND PREPARE TO RECEIVE YOUR BOUNTY!
THE OIL CRISIS
A lot of folks
can't understand how we cameto have an oil
shortage here in our country. ~~~ Well, there's a very simple
answer. ~~~ Nobody bothered to check the oil. ~~~ We just
didn't know we were getting low. ~~~ The reason for that is purely
geographical. ~~~ Our OIL is located in: ~~~ ALASKA ~~~ California ~~~ Coastal
Florida ~~~ Coastal Louisiana ~~~ North Dakota ~~~ Wyoming ~~~ Colorado ~~~ Kansas ~~~ Oklahoma ~~~ Pennsylvania And Texas ~~~ Our
dipsticks are located in DC Any Questions? NO?
Didn't think So.
If the President and the
Parties in office were reversed, there would have been motions to
impeach this person from office before his term reached this far. Everyone
of voting age should read these two books. Don't buy them, get them
from the library before they are removed from the shelves.
From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13,
when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to
whites.'
From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and
animosity against my mother's race.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about her that made me wary, a little too
sure of herself, maybe and white..
From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show
your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't
speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of
Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the
attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
And FINALLY, and most scary!
From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift
in an ugly direction.'
These
are his words straight from his books!
Subject: Constitutional lawyer has read the entire

The Truth About the Health Care Bills - Michael Connelly,
Ret. Constitutional Attorney
Well, I have
done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200:
The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular
emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly
concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might
be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or
expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said
about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite
what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does
provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens
and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal
immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation
in abortions by members of the medical profession.
The
Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business,
and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about
personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and
most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions,
payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices
will be strictly controlled by the government.
However,
as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact,
I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing
affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for
the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of
government that has ever occurred, or even been
contemplated If this law or a similar one is adopted, major
portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively
have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the
masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive,
Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government.
The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority
in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people,
and the businesses they own.
The irony is that the
Congress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of
those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S.
Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to
regulate health care.
This legislation also provides
for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration,
of all of your personal healthcare -- a direct violation of the
specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information,
your personal financial information, and the information of your
employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a protection against unreasonable
searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy.
That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the
3rd and 4th Amendments may provide...
If you decide
not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance
that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed
by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax instead
of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process
clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn't work because since
there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition
of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without
the due process of law.
So, there are three of those
pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the
original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified
by this law It doesn't stop there though.
The 9th
Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain
rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by
the people;
The 10th Amendment states: The powers not
delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States
respectively, or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of
Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have
any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation,
but I think you get the idea. This is not about health
care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights...
Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both
houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution."
If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this
legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred
oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American
people would hold me accountable.
For those who might
doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the
source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly
what we are about to have taken from us.

The Democrat Playbook…
Rules for Radicals
Ever wonder why the left tell bold face, provable lies?They are following the advice of Saul Alinsky, who wrote the book, Rules for Radicals in 1971.He was a mentor of Hillary Clinton, who wrote her hard to find college thesis on his tactics.Our President, Barack Obama not only knows “The Rules,” he taught them as a community organizer for The Developing Communities Project in the early eighties in Chicago.
Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, is to politics, what Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, is to fighting.Anyone who does not know them, is at a disadvantage in a political discussion.
In 1971, Saul Alinsky, a radical Marxist community organizer from Chicago , wrote a classic on down and dirty, take no prisoners, grassroots organizing titled Rules for Radicals. It provides some of the best advice on confrontational tactics.
Alinsky begins this way:What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.
One of Alinsky’s guidelines was “conscience is the virtue of observers and not of agents of action”In other words, the ends justify the means, you can lie, cheat, steal elections and smear your opponent.Because your cause is just, all that matters is that you win.
Another of Alinsky’s tactics was to go on the offensive when caught in a compromising situation. In other words, if you are caught red handed stealing money from a cash register, accuse whoever caught you of spying on you.This explains why Hillary claimed the Lewinski scandal was not only not true, but was manufactured by “a right wing conspiracy” out to get her husband.
For Alinsky, organizing is the process of highlighting what is wrong and convincing people they can actually do something about it. The two are linked. If people feel they don’t have the power to change a bad situation, they will not try.
The organizer must begin the task of agitating: rubbing resentments, fanning hostilities, and searching out controversy. This is necessary to get people to participate. Alinsky would say, “The first step in community organization is community disorganization.”This explains why the Democrats continued to say Bush stole the 2000 election, despite the fact that the New York Times reported on November 11, 2001,that after a six month recount by the Times and others, Bush won every way they counted.
Through a process combining hope and resentment, the organizer tries to create a “mass army” that brings in as many recruits as possible from local organizations, churches, labor unions, corner gangs, and individuals.
Alinsky provides a collection of rules to guide the process. But he emphasizes these rules must be translated into real-life tactics that are fluid and responsive to the situation at hand.
Rule 1. Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.This explains why the Mainstream Media always has a tight photo of a small leftist protest group.
Rule 2. Never go outside the experience of your people. The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.
Rule 3. Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
Rule 4. Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”This explains why the left always pretend to be outraged and demand that Republicans resign over the slightest infraction.
Rule 5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.This explains the treatment of Sarah Palin, Dan Quayle and George Bush by the Democrats, the Mainstream Media, Saturday Night Live and other “entertainment” outlets.
Rule 6. A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”
Rule 7. A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.
Rule 8. Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”This explains the relentless attacks by the ACLU and others on traditional American values, business and Republicans.
Rule 9. The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation.This explains Jesse Jackson’s shakedown of corporations with the threat of demonstrations.
Rule 10.If you push a negative hard enough, it will become a positive. Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.(Unions used this tactic.Peaceful demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid 20th Century incurred management’s wrath that eventually brought public sympathy to their side).According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”This explains why when Gore debated Ross Perot on Larry King, he constantly interrupted him to upset him.And why the left tell bold face, provable lies…it infuriates and flusters the person they are debating.
Rule 11. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”This explains why the left never have a solution and only speak in platitudes (does candidate Obama come to mind?)
Rule 12. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.There are so many examples, Talk Radio Hosts, Palin, Trent Lott, Clarence Thomas, last by not least “Bush lied and men died”
I’m going to ask for forgiveness up front………
From the minister:
We were in slow-moving traffic the other day
and the car in front of us had an Obama bumper sticker on it.
It read: "Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8".
My husband's Bible was lying on the dash board,
sohe got it & opened it up to the scripture & read it.
He started laughing & laughing.
Then he read it to me.
I couldn't believe what it said.
I had a good laugh, too.
Psalm 109:8 "Let his days be few; and let another take his office. "
At last -
I can voice a Biblical prayer for our president!
Look it up -
it is word for word!
Let us all bow our heads and pray.
...A good message
(For those who are unaware: At all military base theaters, the National Anthem is played before the movie begins.)
This is written from a Chaplain in Iraq :
I recently attended a showing of 'Superman 3' here at LSA Anaconda. We have a large auditorium we use for movies, as well as memorial services and other large gatherings. As is the custom at all military bases, we stood to attention when the National Anthem began before the main feature. All was going well until three-quarters of the way through The National Anthem, the music stopped.
Now, what would happen if this occurred with 1,000 18-22 year-olds back in the States? I imagine there would be hoots, catcalls, laughter, a few rude comments, and everyone would sit down and yell for the movie to begin. Of course, that is, if they had stood for the National Anthem in the first place. Here in Iraq, 1,000 Soldiers continued to stand at attention, eyes fixed forward. The music started again and the Soldiers continued to quietly stand at attention. But again, at the same point, the music stopped. What would you expect 1000 Soldiers standing at attention to do ?? Frankly, I expected some laughter, and everyone would eventually sit down and wait for the movie to start.
But No!!... You could have heard a pin drop, while every Soldier continued to stand at attention. Suddenly, there was a lone voice from the front of the auditorium, then a dozen voices, and soon the room was filled with the voices of a thousand soldiers, finishing where the recording left off: "And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave."
It was the most inspiring moment I have had in Iraq, and I wanted you to know what kind of Soldiers are serving you. Remember them as they fight for us!
Pass this along as a reminder to others to be ever in prayer for all our soldiers serving us here at home and abroad. Many have already paid the ultimate price.
Written by Chaplain Jim Higgins. LSA Anaconda is at the Ballad Airport in Iraq, north of Baghdad.
Best quote of the year . . .
"As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials."
**Newt Gingrich**
This will be good to wake everyone up before enough coffee.....
Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed and another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They're making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus' name in prayer thanks to the wretched ACLU and our new administration.
The abuse of political correctness?
Symptoms of Corrupting Sickness
It would be interesting to create a poll with these two photos and have people guess what's happening. Most would never assume anything close to the real story. It appears to be a joyous homecoming, a reuniting of mother and son. The truth is not so heart warming. The lady in the picture is the mother of an American that was ambushed in Fallujah , Iraq . Her son was murdered. His body was dragged around in the streets of the city, then burned and hung from the upper trusses of a bridge. The murderers gathered to celebrate and have their photos taken with the trophy. The young sailor in the picture is one of the Navy SEALs that later captured the leader of the band of terrorist butchers and brought him to justice. If the story ended there, it would still be an acceptable feel-good, good-guys-win story. Unfortunately, that's not the case - this Navy SEAL is facing criminal charges. Because, somewhere along the timeline of his capture, the terrorist murderer suffered a school-yard fat lip, his captors are now being charged with nothing short of war crimes and facing discharge and imprisonment. So, instead of celebration of justice served and heroes honored, these photos record betrayal, compounded mourning and the effects of a corrupting sickness.
From : SEALs assault case goes to court NORFOLK, VA "It's been very stressful," said Navy SEAL Mathew McCabe, 24, moments after his arraignment in military court at Naval Station Norfolk Monday on charges that he allegedly mistreated an Iraqi detainee. The mother of slain Blackwater guard Jerry Zovko drove from Ohio to give each of the accused SEALs a blessed rosary and lend them her support. "These young SEALs are in this situation because they caught the mastermind behind the death of my son, and not only my son and his co-workers but also the marines who went into Fallujah after their death," said Donna Zovko. "I am very proud of these young SEALs and thankful to them. They did not do anything wrong." May I ramble a bit? Think out loud, so to speak? I'm trying to make some sense of this. What title can I give to the mentality of a people that send their best to defend the whole and then betray them? To what shall I attribute the attitude of a people that habitually prosecute their heroes while defending their enemies? What creates a culture that allows people to vilify and isolate their most noble and deify their most corrupt? I perceive more symptoms of a sickness, a corruption of the nation's heart and soul. I am tempted to label it 'liberalism' or 'progressivism', but those too are just symptoms of the infection. But this is nothing new, I recognized these symptoms four decades ago in the shameful treatment of our warriors returning from Vietnam, in the acceptance of Marines bombed in Beirut, in the ho-hum yawn of media coverage of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down), in the return to mental numbness after 9/11, prosecution of the Marines of Haditha, assault of recruiters across the country, anti-war protesters at the gates of Walter Reed Army Hospital... This sickness, this infection has gone untreated for far too long. Americans are a tolerant bunch. We've patiently waited for the ingrates among us to grow up and develop a sense of pride and awe in the greatness of America . It's not happening. I'm tired of waiting. I'm fresh out of tolerance. There comes a time when the treatment for an infection cannot be postponed any longer, lest the patient die. Through history how many nations have habitually betrayed their defenders and survived? Donna and I left our home at 4:00am, Monday morning and drove to Norfolk . We were in the company of four other patriots from the Raleigh area:
Don Gray of Military Appreciation Day and NC Gathering of Eagles. Patrick Holbrook, NC Gathering of Eagles. Russell Pope, NCFreedom.us Randy Dye, Randy's Right Blog and NCFreedom.us
After the arraignment hearings, McCabe came out to meet his supporters.
And thank you, Mathew McCabe, for your service to our country!
KEEP THIS GOING, PEOPLE!
DON'T LET IT STOP ANYWHERE UNTIL IT's BEEN AROUND THE WORLD TO EVERY TRUE AMERICAN.
Character is doing the right thing when no one is looking...
"The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves " -George Washington
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS??
HB 1388 PASSED
You just spent $20,000,000 to move members/supporters of Hamas, a terrorist organization, to the United States ;
housing, food, the whole enchilada.
HB 1388 PASSED
Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U. S. needs to know... Something happened.... H.R. 1388 was passed, behind our backs. You may want to read about it.
It wasn't mentioned on the news - just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.
Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA .
This is the news that didn't make the headlines.....
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in
"migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza .
The "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to
Hamas to resettle in the United States , was signed and appears in the Federal Register.
Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with
housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to
the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
Let's review....itemized list of some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since his inauguration:
His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in
the Palestinian territory.
His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.
His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortions not just here within the U. S. , but within
the world, using U. S. tax payer funds.
He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.
He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the "terror attack" on 9/11.
Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the
US at American taxpayer expense.
These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages.
Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if
he had anything
to say. His response: After admitting his guilt to the
court for the record, Reid also admitted his
'allegiance to Osama
bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah,'
defiantly
stating, 'I think I will not apologize for my actions,'
and told the
court 'I am at war with your country.'
Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:
January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid.
Judge Young: 'Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the
sentence the
Court imposes upon you.
On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in
prison in
the custody of the United States Attorney General. On
counts 2, 3,
4and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison
on each count,
the sentence on each count to run consecutively.
(That's 80 years.)
On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30
years again,
to be served consecutively to the 80 years just
imposed. The Court
imposes upon you for each of the eight counts a fine of
$250,000
that's an aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court
accepts the
government's recommendation with respect to restitution
and orders
restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet
and $5,784 to
American Airlines.
The Court imposes upon you an $800 special assessment.
The Court
imposes upon you five years supervised release simply
because the
law requires it. But the life sentences are real life
sentences so I
need go no further.
This is the sentence that is provided for by our
statutes. It is a
fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence.
Now, let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of
you or any of
your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are
Americans. We
have been through the fire before. There is too much
war talk
here and I say that to everyone with the utmost
respect. Here in
this court, we deal with individuals as individuals and
care for
individuals as individuals. As human beings, we reach
out for justice.
You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist.
You are not a
soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you
that
reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too
much stature.
Whether the officers of government do it or your
attorney does it,
or if you think you are a soldier, you are not----- you
are a
terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists.
We do not meet
with terrorists. We do not sign documents with
terrorists. We hunt
them down one by one and bring them to justice.
So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a
big fellow.
But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've
known warriors.
You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is
guilty of
multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense,
State Trooper
Santiago had it right when you first were taken off
that plane and
into custody and you wondered where the press and the
TV crews
were, and he said: 'You're no big deal.' You are no big
deal.
What your able counsel and what the equally able United
States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as
honestly as I
know how tried to grapple with, is why you did
something so
horrific. What was it that led you here to this
courtroom today?
I have listened respectfully to what you have to say.
And I ask you
to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of
unfathomable hate
led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are
guilty of doing?
And, I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy
you, but as I
search this entire record, it comes as close to
understanding as I
know.
It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is
most precious.
You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our
individual
freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we
choose, to
believe or not believe as we individually choose.
Here, in this
society, the very wind carries freedom. It carries it
everywhere
from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize
individual freedom
so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom,
so that
everyone can see, truly see, that justice is
administered fairly,
individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake
that your
lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf, have
filed
appeals, will go on in their representation of you
before other judges.
We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all
know that the
way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own
liberties.
Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will
bear any
burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look
around this
courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not going to
long remember
what you or I say here. The day after tomorrow, it
will be
forgotten, but this, however, will long endure.
Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across
America , the
American people will gather to see that justice,
individual justice,
justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being
done. The
very President of the United States through his
officers will have
to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which
specific
matters can be judged and juries of citizens will
gather to sit and
judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape
and refine our
sense of justice.
See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United
States of
America . That flag will fly there long after this is
all
forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. And it always
will.
Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down.
So, how much of this Judge's comments did we hear on
our TV sets?
We need more judges like Judge Young. Pass this
around. Everyone
should and needs to hear what this fine judge had to
say. Powerful
words that strike home.
Please
SEND this----so that everyone has a chance to read it.

Bill Cosby has a great way of "distilling" things. Looks like he's done it again!
AMERICA NEEDS A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012..
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1). Any use of the phrase: 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.
(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we'll do no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here!
(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here.
(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire onSOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
(6). Welfare. -- Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades.
(7). Professional Athletes -- Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you're banned from sports ... for life.
(8). Crime -- We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more 'life sentences'. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it's a worthy cause.
(11). The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
(12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
My apology is offered if I've stepped on anyone's toes .... nevertheless....
GODBLESS AMERICA !
Sincerely, Bill Cosby
