Media Matters compared to World Net Daily

Bill OReily gives information that many people do not know about Media Matters.  Find out who George Soros is and what his agenda represents for America.

Joseph Farah owns World Net Daily. The internet is full of liberal sites that trash Farah and his organization.

Conservatives distrust Media Matters. Liberals distrust World Net Daily

We should all use our critical thinking skills as we read or if we read either site. Don’t believe what the bloggers and Political Action Groups tell you. Go there and examine the sites in light of what you can learn from trusted sources and what reason, history, and common sense dictates. Watch the hearings, read the bills, listen to the speakers, but above all learn about history. 

For example, find out how the hearing on Sotomayor compares to those on Republican nominess in the past.  Look at how Sotomayor has ruled as a judge and then listen to what she has said prior to and then at the hearings.  Ask yourself if she is contradicting herself.  Think critically!

Obama’s Birthplace Brought into Question

A soldier has hired a lawyer to defend his claim that he should not have to serve under a president who will not produce proof of his birth.

There are those who say the documents exist that prove Obama was born in Hawaii, but most folks would like to see those documents at this point.

Interesting Developments Concerning Obama’s Birthplace

Recently a story came out about a letterBarack had written to the hospital in Hawaii where he was allegedly born.  The Kapi’olani Medical Center posted the letter on their website. I sent an email to the hospital asking for more information.  If the information was given, the question would be settled. Those who support him would be able to say, “I told you so” and those who believe he was born in Kenya would be silenced. Certainly I am not the only person who contacted the hospital.

The Kapa’olani Medical Center has responded with silence and by removing the letter from their website.

Did I mention that this is a complete switch from what we have been told? According to early reports, he was born at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu.

According to Barack Obama himself, being interviewed November 4, 2008:
He was born at Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu, HI.
Perhaps the letter is a hoax, but it stayed up SIX months.

I have not been verbal about what I believe concerning Obama’s birth. It stands to reason that this would have been checked out by those at the top by now and surely he could not have become a senator and then elected to the highest office in the land without proof that he was born in the USA. Quite frankly, I am beginning to wonder. Why all this secretiveness? What is going on? Did Obama’s grandmother really say she was present at his birth in Kenya? Isn’t it about time the ‘powers that be’ come forward and end this controversy if they are able to do so!

Ruth Gingsburg on Roe vs Wade

Ruth Gingsburg’s admission  is stunning.  In Gingsburg mind, when the courts ruled on Roe vs Wade, the abortion ruling had nothing to do with the health of the mother. Surely she wasn’t mistaken. I have observed that over the years, the abortion advocates have changed their outcry to something more politically correct. This is the first time someone who helped make the original ruling has admitted that.

For those who will think this is a fabrication of the right wing conservative movement, go to the New York Times interview and read page four.

JUSTICE GINSBURG:Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.

Czars update

An email from a reader just came to me asking, “What do you think can be done to save our country?”

After much thought I believe we have as our only hope that some democrats in Congress will become both courageous and conscientious enough to say, “Enough” and that influential black Americans begin to speak out.  Congressmen will only do this when they fear the electorate more than the elected.  Black leaders may be our only hope.

Without one or both of the above solutions, I predict our next election will resemble the one recently held in Iran more than the elections we have known prior to 08.

Czars?

Remember this:

Citizen participation will be a priority for the administration, and the Internet will play an important role in that. One significant addition to WhiteHouse.gov reflects a campaign promise from the President: we will publish all non-emergency legislation to the website for five days, and allow the public to review and comment before the President signs it” (whitehouse.gov).

The only thing that is correct in the president’s promise is that the internet will be used. This is now about the only source citizens have of learning what is going on in Washington. Senators and Representatives alike are passing legislation that no one has read and Obama is appointing czars to rule over every segment of your life.

A few lone voices are expressing concern about the use of Czars in the Obama administration. Obama did not invent this position, it is just that he is taking their use to the next level.  Sadly the idea came from Ronald Reagan, however, while he had one drug czar, Obama now has  according to one site, twenty-eight czars and is in the process of naming a health care czar. The Boston Herald gives the number as thirty. Another site list only sixteen czars as of June 9, 09 and another counts twenty-eight as of June 23, 09. On May 29th, Reuters counted twenty.  One thing seems certain, the number is growing too rapidly for journalist to keep count.

Do you wonder why you hear so little from some of Obama’s top cabinet people? Perhaps they are small puppets under this president and his “work” is being done by his Czars.

I find our situation here in the states fascinating and frightening.  Things the mainstream media accused President Bush of doing (which weren’t actually happening) have now become  reality under Obama and most media will not report it.

All that is lacking, it seems, is a national disaster to complete the “change” Obama promised.

Rumblings of No Term Limits

Before Barack Obama took office, I had a lot of suspicions and fears. I suspected that he planned to ruin the economy in order to pass his government programs. I feared that he wanted to have civil disobedience to the point that marshal law would need to be declared and thereby do away with constitutional law.

Recently Rush Limbaugh said what I have believed all along.  Obama wants a failed economy in which many people lose their jobs so that the unemployed beg for a government take over of health care insurance. He wants a failed economy in order to have gas prices rise until Americans no longer want large automobiles. Only with a terrible economy can he sell government take overs. Perhaps this is why he is doing what the more experienced in our society already know will not improve the economy, but will have the opposite effect.

Some say that  much of the stimulus money is still sitting in Washington and not being used.

Obama now predicts 10% unemployment rates and has stated that “gas prices must increase.”

These actions and statements do not make a lot of sense in a capitalistic society that is a republic. The man would be voted out in four years, right?  Maybe not. With organizations like ACORN working for him and people afraid to challenge results because he is our first black president, perhaps it is not as likely as it may seem. The larger the government welfare rolls, the more people who will vote for a socialist government. The more he panders to special interest such as unions and gay rights organization, the more special interest will support him. Indeed, they are dependent upon  government.  Only those who love independence and freedom will vote against a socialist/communist candidate, so the goal must be to do away with these in our society. 

Limbaugh is estimated to be right at least 97% of the time. He has the highest accuracy rating of any other media organization. So when he announces rumblings of Obama attempting to do away with term limits, I think we all should listen carefully. No marshal law will be necessary IF term limits for the presidency are ended and ACORN can repeat what happened in 2008.

Hope I am wrong. I hope Rush is wrong, but my gut, along with watching what Obama is doing, tells me that I am far from being wrong. Truthfully, I wanted to write about this the day after the election but my common sense told me that this would sound too radical for most people to even consider.  It no longer seems radical.

Home School Students Excel

Having taught in public schools for 29 years, I am interested in the achievements of home schooled students in comparison to public or government schooled students.

In my experience,  students who were in and out of public school were usually well behind the average student.  An explanation for this poor performance may be found by examining the parent’s motivation for home schooling a child. Occasionally a child who was failing would be pulled out and the next year he or she would  return to a public school. Parents who became disgruntled with a teacher or unhappy with their child’s achievement would sometimes pull their child out of public school and attempt to home school. It is possible that these parents had not spent a lot of time preparing a program and curriculum for their student. Students frequently returned to the system.

Teaching students in Sunday School, I had an opportunity to work with children who were home schooled from kindergarten. These students are very impressive. They almost always have excellent reading and reasoning skills.

I checked around several sites where homeschool statistics are given.  My findings confirmed my experience. Students who are home schooled by parents who are dedicated  consistently score above the average or median standardized scores.

Within each grade level and each skill area, the median scores for home school students fell between the 70th and 80th percentile of students nationwide and between the 60th and 70th percentile of Catholic/Private school students. For younger students, this is a one year lead. By the time home school students are in 8th grade, they are four years ahead of their public/private school counterparts.

We The People

This video makes a lot of sense. Perhaps we could pass a We The People Stimulus Package. The question is, will we?

A few days ago, I felt there was no reason to even hope for our Republic to endure or for our country to remain sovereign. While I am not certain we will wake up in time, I do feel a little hopeful today. After attending the TEA party and a fourth of July service at church this morning, I am cautiously optimistic that at least Americans are beginning to understand the problem.  With help from on high, we will be able to save our country.

I wish I had heard this guy prior to the election. He was never on any news show I watched. machosauceproduction

TEA Taxed Enough Already!

Taxed Enough Already?

Join the move – catch the wave!

We the people are ready for real hope and definite change. Not the kind of change seen thus far by the socialist, facist regime currently in office.  

Many Americans will be sending Congressman and the President a letter this week. We will enclose a pink slip! This is not a “party” movement. It is a movement of the people, by the people and for the people.  If you are interested in doing the same, check out the American Again Project.
