OUTRAGEOUS: United Nations’ New Arms Watchdog is North Korea

An example of why America should neither be funding nor be a member the United Nation was clearly demonstrated today when the insanely tyrannical, nuclear threatening North Korea dictatorship was named to the presidency of the UN’s Conference on Disarmament. That is like naming a tax cheat to the position of Secretary of the Treasury, which includes the IRS. That is like naming a rabid fox to guard the chicken coop. You can’t make this stuff up.

Will President Obama make an issue of this? Will he condemn the move? No he won't. It is another demonstration of his lack of leadership.

Here is an excerpt from the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) on 6/28/2011:

The Conference on Disarmament held a plenary meeting this morning in which the Democratic People's Republic of Korea assumed the presidency of the Conference and members bid farewell to the departing ambassadors from Canada and the United Kingdom.

Counterfeit marriage mars New York: This isn’t over!

Shamefully, so-called same-sex “marriage” passed in the state of New York over the weekend. I saw the link to the YouTube video below in a tweet (@NOMtweets) from the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), which battled unsuccessfully to defeat this extremely hurtful measure.

Late Night Takes – Politicians are a joke

Late Night Jokes


The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson

Whitey Bulger’s brother was a politician. So one brother was operating in a world with no morals, dealing with the lowest of the low, and the other one was a mobster.

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno

President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner played golf this weekend. Obama’s handicap is Joe Biden.

The team of Obama and Boehner beat the team of Vice President Joe Biden and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. When they tallied up the score, they were 14 trillion over par.

These jokes are courtesy of NewsMax.com which periodically sends out an email compilation of late night jokes, few of which are worth repeating . . . these are the exceptions.

A Baracktopus attack

Ironically, at today's press conference, the budget-busting, red-ink radical President, Barack Obama, called for 'balanced approach' to reach any debt deal. See TheHill.com's article, "Obama calls for 'balanced approach' to reach debt deal for more about the press conference."

By "balanced" Obama most assurdedly means more taxes, more spending. I don't think you can compromise with radicals, they are like terrorists. What we need is a BALANCED BUDGET, not the meaningless politically motivated rhetorical BALANCED APPROACH. Increasingly, I think that this President and this Congress are incapable of dealing with our economic crisis. They are all like crack addicts addicted to their gripping drug of choice - spending.

Ultimately, Congress and the President need to be REPLACED as soon as possible, no ifs, ands, or buts. This includes Speaker John Boehner, who seems to be totally impotent in dealing with the Left wingers. After all, he holds the purse strings, but is permitting the purse snatchers to run wild on the streets and alleys of Wasting-a-ton, D.C.

What happens to the debt ceiling will hold sway over the results of the November 2012 election.

Celebrating Life: A Historic Pro-Life Day in Ohio

Life Support: Ohio Heartbeat Bill Passes 6/28/2011

I just received this good news in an email from Chris Long of the Ohio Christian Alliance. There were three pieces of pro-life legislation in the Ohio state legislature today. All three passed to the chagrin of the pro-death crowd. In the end it is inching Ohio a little closer to the truth that life begins at conception and that all human life is sacred. I am sure that the forces of evil will be amassed to overturn this partial victory in the court. But for now it is a victory for life.

The anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence, which clearly emphasizes “Life” as the first inalienable right is only days away. I could not think of a more appropriate time for pro-life laws to be approved that immediately preceding the July 4th celebration!

Here is the email content I just received:

Today, Ohio made history as the Ohio Legislature passed three significant pieces of pro-life legislation…


H.B. 78, Ohio's ban on late term abortion, sponsored by State Representatives Kristina Roegner and Joe Uecker, passed the Ohio House by a margin of 64-32.


H.B. 79 , a provision to opt Ohio out of taxpayer abortion coverage under the new federal health care law, sponsored by Representatives Danny Bubp and Joe Ueker, passed by a vote of 62-35.


Ohio's Heartbeat Bill, H.B. 125, sponsored by State Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, passed the Ohio House by a margin of 54-43. This legislation goes farther than any previous pro-life legislation to date. It will restrict abortion when a baby's heartbeat can be detected. Numerous pro-life organizations throughout the state, along with pro-life legislators, worked on the passage of this legislation.


Ohio Christian Alliance (OCA) President Chris Long made the following statement, "These successes are due to the efforts of pro-life Ohioans who for years have prayed, voted, and lobbied for the unborn. Their voices were heard on behalf of the unborn innocent, and that message is resonating with members of the Ohio Legislature and is evidenced by this strong pro-life legislation."

Why Evil Exists in the World Today, Part 6

We see evil all around us today, don't we? TV, newspapers, and radio all chronicle the ravages of evil. I am continuing a series today, taking a break from my series, “Armor of God.”

If you wanted someone to love you, wouldn’t you want them to love you of their own free will, rather than because they had no other choice?

Satan Is the Most Powerful Created Being

Since Satan is anointed he has great power. He is no doubt the most powerful created being.

Job 1:6-11, “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.”

Job 1:12-22, “And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.”

Job 2:1-7, “Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.”

Satan was able to bring coordinated attacks on Job from mankind, from the natural elements, and Job’s own body. He (Satan) can do it to you, or any nation, or peoples as well.


It is solely God’s, mercy, power and authority which prevents more mayhem then we currently see today.

Diggin’ Up Dirt: The Media and a Sarah Palin Email

Hat tip goes to the TeaPartyNation.com, which sent me a link to the video below.




Here is a sample email from those 25,000 or so release recently to the frenzied media, eager to “expose” Governor Palin’s ignorance, incompetence, and/or indiscretions. Watch the video and get a glimpse of the real Sarah Palin, and the story the media will never report.

Check out this YouTube description, which effectively summarizes the content of the video

Poignant, email from Sarah Palin to friends and family as she awaits the arrival of Trig, her soon to be born Down's Syndrome son. The email is sent written from God's perspective and is both comforting and uplifting as He trough Sarah Palin, shares the miracles this child will bring with it into our world.

Obama: Leader or Politician?

Quote/Unquote

I saw this succinct analysis of the President's leadership skills. I found the quote in Greg Brown's article, "Distant and Disconnect," in the July 2011 issue of Newmax Magazine.
"Barack Obama is not a leader. He's a politician. He doesn't speak from his heart, he speaks from a TelePrompter. If the TelePrompter went down, he would be stymied." 

 --- Jeffrey Gitomer commenting on the President's leadership (or lack of it).

Federal Government: Your Credit Card has been Pre-Declined

Hat tip goes to www.GrassFire.com which sent me an email about the expected move by Congress to increase the Debt Ceiling soon. I think it is a bad idea. Now is the time to draw a line in the sand.

I signed the following petition:

Whereas politicians have amassed an unsustainable debt burden totaling $1.6 trillion this year, $15 trillion by the end of this year and more than $113 trillion when counting unfunded liabilities, and;
Whereas the current President and Congress have shown no capacity to significantly reduce spending and debt,
Therefore, I am signing this Citizen Petition opposing any increase in the legal federal debt limit.
It is time for Congress and the President to get serious about cutting spending.
Do Not Increase The Debt Ceiling! Cut Spending!

ObamaCare annual check-up: Prognosis is poor

Cartoon by William Warren, ObamaCare One Year Later

Here's a belated recognition of the first anniversary of ObamaCare, the federal government takeover of the American Health Care industry. I will quote a couple of excerpts from an article, "ObamaCare's Annual check-up: Ailing, to Get Worse," which I recently read in the May 9th issue of The New American magazine.
Of course, somebody has to pay for all those new taxes and benefits (in ObamaCare). And those somebodies won't be insurers or drug firms. They be American patients.

Just as there were payoffs to get the bill passed, the government in deciding who among its allies can be relieved of burdens of the new regulation. Waivers have been granted to more than 1,000 (now around 1,400) sponsors of health plans -- with the largest being the heavily Democrat United federation of Teachers Welfare Fund in New York, with some 351,000 enrolled in its plan. Others granted waivers from the red tape and added costs include the AFL-CIO and SEIU.
Ironically, those same seekers of waivers were some of the most voracious and vociferous supporters of that terrible legislation throughout the process to insure its passage. What is good for the goose is not necessiarly good for the rest of America. ObamaCare must be dismantled and defunded. It would better to title it Insuring Unaffordable Health Care and Punish the Patient Act.

I love the article author's, William P. Hoar, concluding comment:
After only one year, the program has earned a motto: ObamaCare -- It's enough to make you sick.

It’s so un-American: Man terminated at CISCO for his politically incorrect religious beliefs

This week I heard on the alternative media's Today’s Issues radio show on the American Family Radio network a news story that will not be covered by the pro-homosexual, pro-Democrat Party press. It is the story of a leadership trainer, Dr. Frank Turek, who was fired from his position at CISCO, the computer networking system giant, for having politically incorrect beliefs. It illustrates how corrupted society including industry is becoming by the influence of the homosexual agenda and the effectiveness of homosexual advocates ‘activism.

Read the recent series of articles by Mike Adams of www.Townhall.com as he documents the plight of Dr. Frank Turek in one of the Fortunes 500 companies.
.
The Cisco Kid (6/16/2011)
The Cisco Delusion of Diversity (6/21/2011)
Cisco Sinks to Dishonorable Low (6/22/20111)
.
Now with New York approving the same-sex perversion version of “marriage” just last night, this wholly unnatural, unhealthy, abnormal same-sex lifestyle is advancing like a malignant tumor. It is dangerous not only on a moral, spiritual level. It is dangerous because it not only accepts, it condones, it encourages, it now institutionalizes sinful, ungodly behavior. Unchecked, it will lead to this nation’s demise as surely as our cancerous debt and deficit will.

CISCO: Totally Politically Correct Intolerance?

I took action and sent the President of Cisco this email. You can also Take Action today!
TO: Mr. John Chamber, President
RE: Reinstate Dr. Frank Turek
DATE: June 26, 2011
I am writing today to express my disappointment at learning that your company terminated Dr. Frank Turek for his religious beliefs, even though those beliefs were never shared during the leadership and team building program he was hired to present. The idea that a person could be fired because someone complained about his or her personal beliefs after searching for the information on the Internet is outrageous. I urge to reinstate Dr. Turek and take appropriate action against the individual(s) responsible for his wrongful firing.
I have been following this story on www.Townhall.com online and look forward to reading and/or hearing your response to this matter. July 4th is the holiday we celebrate freedom and liberty in America. What Cisco did to Dr. Turek was rob him of his individual freedom and personal liberty. This is shameful. This is un-American

National Debt: Hittin' the Ceiling and Head Buried in the Sand?

Hat tip goes to The New American Magazine, the June 6, 2011 issue, for including Michael Tennant's article, “Hitting the Ceiling or Going Through the Roof." Where does our feckless "leader" President Obama stand on raising the Debt Ceiling limit today?

Read carefully the opening paragraphs of the article quoted above. Read the entire article if you wish here.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit,” said the Senator, “is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our government’s reckless fiscal policies.... Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”
Who is this mystery Senator railing against raising the federal debt ceiling? Kentucky’s Rand Paul, perhaps? South Carolina’s Jim DeMint? Oklahoma’s Tom Coburn?
No, the mystery Senator is none other than Illinois’ Barack Obama, who spoke those very words in March 2006 as Congress was considering — at the behest of the George W. Bush administration — increasing the amount of debt the U.S. Treasury could issue to almost $9 trillion.

Cartoon by William Warren found at http://PoliticoMafioso.blogspot.com


I strongly agree with Tennant's conclusion regarding the decision to allow the debt ceiling to be raised:


... Only good can come from holding the line on increased debt; only financial catastrophe can come from caving in to the administratior's demands. Americans, as Sen. Obama said, do indeed deserve better.

FDA, HHS: Where are the Abortion Warning Labels?




This week the big government Federal Drug Administration (FDA) announced its new graphic warning labels to be placed on packs of cigarettes. Isn't that so caring and so controlling of big brother or big comrade government? I contend that abortion kills more humans and is even more insidious and harmful to babies and women then cigarettes, yet where is the outcry against this social injustice, this infanticide, this American atrocity?


Hat tip goes to www.AbolishAbortion.com for the information and the petition which can be also found on their website.


The FDA recently announced new restrictions on cigarette packages, forcing manufacturers to feature prominent graphic images on the front of every cigarette package to warn smokers of harmful effects that smoking can have on their health and those around them.


When picking up their cigarette packages, smokers will see pictures of a man blowing smoke out of a hole in his neck, a smoker’s mouth riddled with cancer, a baby under a cloud of smoke, and a deceased man, among other colored graphics.


This marks the biggest change in cigarette package warnings in over a quarter of a century and notes the shift in American public opinion about smoking. Smoking has become passe.


Yet, what about abortion?


Where are the warning labels on abortion?


Where are the warnings to tell women that abortion will kill their child and scare them for life?


Sign your name to this petition to tell the FDA that all abortion facilities and abortion-causing drugs should come with graphic warning labels - showing women what an abortion really does.

Sign the petition here.

Help Rand Cut Spending--Support S. 162


From Rand Paul:

http://randpacusa.com/randpac/cfs_petition.aspx?pid=csnl

Cut Federal Spending Petition to:
My U.S. Senators and Congressman
Whereas:   Our national debt is at $14.1 trillion and continues to grow at a rate of $4.1 billion per day; and
Whereas:   This massive debt and reckless spending will soon force the government to print even more money and levy additional taxes on me and my fellow Americans; and
Whereas:   The Cut Federal Spending Act would cut $500 billion from our current $1.5 trillion deficit; and
Whereas:   The Cut Federal Spending Act is the first step in allowing our struggling economy to recover and end this economic depression;
Therefore: I urge you in the strongest possible terms to take the first step in ending the federal budget deficit by supporting the Cut Federal Spending Act (S. 162) with every means at your disposal.

Seven Republican Senators Help Obama Get More Czars


The following article was in today's Red State Report.  I'll bet you never even heard about this.
Please share as you see fit.
 

Senate Plans to Abdicate its Confirmation Duties 

The Obama Czars will trump the constitution.
Posted by Daniel Horowitz (Profile)
Tuesday, June 21st at 1:45PM EDT 
In recent years, the job of United States Senator has evidently been added to the list of ‘jobs that Americans won’t do.’  Harry Reid’s Senate has categorically shirked its core constitutional responsibility by refusing to pass a budget for over two years.  Concurrently, the Senate has been preoccupied with feckless, unconstitutional legislation that fails to deal with any of the paramount public policy problems facing the nation.
Today, Chuck Schumer, with the help of Mitch McConnell and Lamar Alexander, plans to vitiate one of the Senate’s few remaining constitutional duties; advising and consenting to presidential appointees.  The Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act (S.679), which was never reported out of a committee, would eliminate the confirmation requirement for 200 presidential appointees.  This bill would completely abrogate the safeguards against tyranny that were established in the “Appointments Clause” of the constitution.  [The Heritage Foundation has a useful primer on the bill.]
The bill has seven Republican co-sponsors:  Lamar Alexander, Scott Brown, Susan Collins, Mike Johanns, Jon Kyl, Richard Lugar, and Mitch McConnell.
One would think that without the inconvenient burden of dealing with the budget process, the Senate would have plenty of time to execute its ‘advise and consent’ duties.  They are claiming that the confirmation process is too cumbersome and time-consuming, and as such, is precluding other more important legislation.  The reality is just the opposite.  Their abdication of their core responsibilities has left them with nothing other than executive confirmations on their plate.  Senator Marco Rubio succinctly observes the priorities of the Senate in a piece for the Daily Caller today:
Meanwhile, in the five months I have been in the Senate, Democratic leaders have focused on a reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration, a patent bill, a bill to increase spending on the Small Business Administration and a plan to increase spending on the Economic Development Administration, a relic of the Great Society that funnels debt-financed cash to states and localities (never mind that the president’s own Fiscal Commission recommended eliminating it entirely).
The Senate has taken just 91 roll call votes, many on non-controversial nominations, and a third of our time has been spent in “quorum calls,” literally doing nothing. No one should be under any illusion about the desire of leaders in the Senate to confront our sagging economy and looming debt crisis.
Now, they have the moxie to complain that the confirmation process is distracting them from more important legislation!
Undoubtedly, there is a need to expedite the presidential appointee process.  However, ceding more power to an administration that is overzealous to impose policy by administrative fiat, is not the way to go.  Congress has slowly abjured its power to the executive branch by writing open-ended legislation, granting federal agencies wide latitude to promulgate destruction over our economy.  Obama has already used radical executive appointees for the purpose of consolidating power in the executive branch.  Why would any Republican sign on to such a dangerous expansion of executive power?  Whom do they think Obama will appoint to these positions if there is no oversight?
Here’s a novel idea for streamlining the confirmation process of presidential appointees: shrink the size of government so there will be no need for most of these jobs.  It’s high time for Congress to halt its self-immolation, and reign in the executive department behemoth.
The Senate is scheduled to hold the first cloture vote on S.679 later this evening or on Wednesday, following the expected failure on passage of the inane Economic Development Revitalization Act.  Call your senators and ask them if they plan to outsource their jobs to Obama.  Tell them to keep the presidential appointment process in the hands of the elected branch of government and vote no on S.679.

Bob Mecklenborg on Need to Know


Watch the full episode. See more Need To Know.

Bob Mecklenborg recently made an appearance on the PBS program "Need to Know".  This was very interesting to me for several reasons.

Mr. Mecklenborg is my state representative.  I don't know what his true motivations are on this or any other issue.  I agree with him on most issues, but I think that he is mostly just another slick politician.  He is definitely someone who is biased toward the Republican party.  I have heard him say that the redistricting should be done in the way that most favors Republicans.  He has criticized the Tea Party for demanding the cutting of state spending, saying that there is nothing left to cut, but he himself voted for the wasteful Ohio Third Frontier Project.  Among other things, OTFP contained $2 million in appropriations to design hospital gowns and food trays.

But I don't trust PBS any further than I could throw them either.  As I was viewing this video on the PBS website, I noticed on the same webpage an advertisement which said, "Support provided by Goldman Sachs".  That should be proof enough for anyone to say the probability that what they are saying is a lie is at least equal to the probability that it is the truth.

As for the issues discussed in the program, I think I agree with PBS on the first bill that they discussed.  There are a lot of people who would be disfranchised if they were required to show photo ID.  Having such an ID shouldn't be requirement if you have some other proof (such as a birth certificate).  We didn't used to have to have any proof.  Its funny, though,  that PBS can't see that illegal immigrants vote illegally.

But on the second issue, I definitely agree with Mecklenborg.  In fact, his bill doesn't go nearly far enough.  There should be no early voting at all except for absentee (mail-in) voting.   And the only ones who should be allowed to vote absentee are military voters and others who have a really good reason (like being home-bound).  That is the way it used to be.  And of course, PBS is so blind that they refuse to acknowledge the incident in which the Democrats gave high school voters ice cream cones to entice them to "get on the bus" going downtown to the polling place.  No vote fraud?  Yeah, right.  This was an early voting day incident which would have been more difficult to pull off if all voting had to be done on election day.  They were registering voters and they were voting on the same day!  Not cool.

But I think the majority of the fraud is not due to any of the issues addressed in this program.  Neither PBS nor Mr. Mecklenborg want you to know about Diebold.  If you really want to preserve the integrity of the electoral process, demand that your state get rid of all electronic voting machines.  The only truly transparent system is one where the ballots are paper, marked by hand, placed in a clear plastic receptacle, and publicly counted by hand.  Mr. Mecklenborg mentioned that one his purposes was for public perception to be that the process is fair.  About that he is right and there is no more important battle in this effort than to get rid "black box" vote counting!

Trick or Tweet


You can tell a lot about a person (or organization) about the friends they keep and the tweets they send. Just look at former representative Anthony Weiner, then maybe we shouldn’t look. Here is rather infamous baby-killing organization, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and their twitter marketing activity that caught the eye of the Family Research Council, which reported the following:

If Planned Parenthood were really suffering financially, do you think the organization could afford to spend $100,000 on tweets? Jill Stanek did some digging and found out that America's biggest abortion group is so desperate that it's paying people to follow them on Twitter. As a new form of advertising, the social media execs are offering "promoted tweets," where companies can pay to have their messages listed with users. Back in September, the Wall Street Journal reported Twitter was selling the 140-character messages for $100,000 each. Planned Parenthood has paid for two. Obviously, the abortion giant is more interested in keeping their government dollars than providing services to women. Instead of using that money to keep their clinics open in Minnesota and Indiana and provide those so-called "vital services for women," the group is spamming people on Twitter. So the next time Planned Parenthood cries poor, Congress should tell them to tweet it to someone who cares.




NBC-TV: Take this Pledge and Edit It


"... under God, indivisable ..."  or  "a nation gone under, invisible"?
 .
Hat tip goes to the Family Research Council (FRC) a Christian advocacy group which sponsored a effort to contract and to ostracize NBC-TV for their blatant bias against God and America’s Christian foundations. This was a shameful censor of the Pledge of Allegiance that occurred in their introduction to this past weekend’s coverage of the U.S. Open Golf Tournament held in Wasting-a-ton, D.C. Here are some comments by FRC President Tony Perkins regarding this affort against God:

There may be more outrage over NBC's Pledge video, but there don't seem to be more answers. Yesterday, a local television reporter tried calling the network for an interview about the missing "under God, indivisible." After a few attempts, he was referred to the "Contact NBC" email address. When he finally did reach the Vice President for Communications at NBC Sports, Chris McCloskey, he was referred to the network's statement. "Unfortunately, when producing the piece--which was intended to capitalize on the patriotism of having our national championship played in our nation's capital--a decision was made by a small group of people to edit portions of the Pledge of Allegiance."
The reporter pressed for more answers about this "small group" but got nowhere. And apart from the weak apology offered by NBC during the U.S. Open, no corrective action has been taken. Perhaps NBC should be forced to sit through its own sensitivity training and learn to respect the hundreds of years of patriotic tradition that Americans sacrificed their lives for. At the very least, we should call for the network to feature the Pledge--the whole Pledge--in the programming leading up to July 4. Join us by contacting NBC. To hear more on the topic, check out my interview on CNN's "John King USA" last night.
.
Contact NBC and urge the network to air the entire, unedited Pledge of Allegiance

Here is a copy of the petition I signed and sent regarding this malicious “oversight”:


Dear NBC Official,


During last weekend's coverage of the U.S. Open, your NBC Sports network aired a special Pledge of Allegiance video in which the words "under God, indivisible" were removed. I am deeply offended that NBC would censor the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag that so many Americans have died to defend. A mere "apology" is not enough.


As you know, the airwaves belong to the public and NBC is granted permission to use those airwaves. Removing "under God" from one of the most widely viewed sports programs is a misuse of the public trust that you've been granted. You have continued to downplay the incident, refusing to take any corrective actions. This is unacceptable.


Please show that you support the Pledge of Allegiance by airing a daily public service announcement with the entire Pledge of Allegiance (only 31 words!). This will authenticate your apology and help ensure that neither NBC nor any other network will censor the Pledge of Allegiance again.


Sincerely,


gregjaye

Bigoted NBC-TV insults God again and again

A view from the Right, the right view

Did NBC commit a blatant act of religious bigotry? Absolutely, on two separate occasions during the so-called “patriotic” introduction to their U.S. Open golf tournament coverage, they left out the words, “Under God” and “Indivisible” from the Pledge of Allegiance. This is a brazen slap in the face of American Christians and America in general.

It is not enough for NBC, along with the other broadcast and most cable networks to shill for the Democratic Party and for President Obama, but it seems they also are shilling for Satan, the adversary of Christians here on earth, too, by banning and by rejecting God. This YouTube video produced by the American Family Association (AFA.net) is yet another proof of the deliberate anti-God, anti-American bias and behavior of the lamestream media. It must be concluded that they are a destructive force in our culture today.




A view from the Left, the wrong view

The Left loves to lie. Obama declared America to be a Muslim nation. This YouTube video below declares that America had secular roots. Both Obama and the creator of this video perpetuate falsehoods. America’s roots are deeply Christian. The Left through revision distorts both history and reality.

All that glitters is definitely not Leftist tolerance

I watched much of the online streaming of the Right Online Conference held in Minneapolis, Minnesota this past Friday and Saturday. I was appreciative of Representative and Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s uplifting speech at the conference. I did not see the incident captured in the video below until later. The video documented a same-sex activist’s attempt to sprinkle Congresswoman Bachmann with glitter as she exited the stage after her inspiring speech. Apparently the liberal infiltrator did not hear or comprehend the message and was present for the sole purpose of demonstrating her intolerance.
 Hat tip goes to Judson Phillips of TeaPartyNation.com where I saw the YouTube video below. You can read about how the homosexual activists are using this tactic with other GOP presidential candidates in Phillips’ article, “More liberal intolerance.”

I like what the woman in the closing moments of the video admonishes the wayward woman, to seek her mother’s guidance on what it is to have integrity.

Why Evil Exists in the World Today, Part 5

We see evil all around us today. TV, newspapers, and radio all chronicle the ravages of evil. I am continuing a new series today, taking a break from my current series, “Armor of God.”

If you wanted someone to love you, wouldn’t you want them to love you of their own free will, rather than because they had no other choice?






















Satan Sinned
.
The Devil, who is Satan, a word which means advisory, also called Lucifer was the first to sin. He is the anointed cherub.

Isaiah 14:12-17, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

Ezekiel 28:11-19, “Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.


Satan's ultimate fate will be that he will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, as will all those who follow him. There in the Lake of Fire, which is the second death, Satan and his followers will be tormented by fire forever. (Matthew 25:41, Revelation 14:9-11, 20:10-15)

RightOnline.com Conference versus NetRootsNation.com Conference


There is a war being waged in cyberspace and in Minneapolis, Minnesota this week for the hearts and minds of Americans. The past few years these conferences hold dueling in the same cities. Two years ago I attended the RightOnline conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. You can listen online to either one of these conferences. Of course, I have been following the RightOnline conference yesterday and will do so today as well. Check out RightOnline.com or NetRootsNation.com.

Global Warming Hoax Promulgated in Oregon

Hat tip goes to the PatriotActionNetwork.com for posting this revealing YouTube video today. The Peoples Republic of Oregon is becoming a soviet style state. They are propagandizing the global warming lie. They do not want to hear any other version. Unless you play ball under their rules, they will take their ball home rather than deal with the truth.

Republican Presidential Debate 2012, part 2

The Tactics of the ACLU Should Not Be Our Tactics














Last week, when I was circulating the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment petition at popular spot for that sort of activity.  It is a place with a public sidewalk and a lot businesses but not much parking, so it gets a lot of pedestrian traffic.   Then I saw two young girls with ACLU shirts on and they had clipboards like mine, so I asked them what petition they were circulating.  They said that they weren't circulating a petition, but were fundraising for the ACLU.  But I asked them if they would sign my petition.  After explaining what the amendment was, one of the girls said that she didn't know whether or not she should sign it because she didn't know if "they" would want her to.  I wondered who "they" were.  The girl, who couldn't sign because she was not an Ohio resident told her that she could sign it if she wanted to.  I guess whenever someone from the ACLU (especially women from the ACLU) hear the word "healthcare", they think it means abortion.  (But it could just be that she actually agreed with the content of the OHCFA--I don't know.)  As this girl was signing the petition, she told me that sometimes she had signed petitions before, but put a false address on it on purpose because she didn't really believe in what the petition was for and wanted the petitioner to stop bothering her.  She also implied that she did this to thwart the efforts of the circulators.  Nice.  But she told me not worry, she was not going to that to me.  I'm not very confident that she was telling the truth, but it doesn't really matter because if it is a false signature, they will just throw it out and no harm will be done.  But what an idiot!  All this goes to show the mentality of these people.  I was anticipating a confrontation and/our dialogue about the mission of the ACLU, but the two girls didn't stick around long enough for that.


A lot of people in the liberty/patriot movement have become members of the ACLU.  I actually agree with them on some issues, like their opposition to airport security screenings and the Patriot Act.  (Even a broken clock is right twice a day.)  But everyone should know that the ACLU has fought to:

1. By federal judicial fiat, make it illegal to even have a voluntary moment of silence in a public school, even when there is no mention God, Jesus, or anything about religion.
2. By federal judicial fiat, make it illegal for high school biology textbooks to have a sticker in its front insider cover which simply says that there are alternative theories of the origins of man and other species to the theory of general evolution.  Again, there was no mention of God, Jesus, creationism, or even of Intelligent Design.
3.  Take away the right of the states to have laws against abortion.
4.  By federal judicial fiat, take away the right of the states to impose term limits on its U.S. Representative and Senators.
5.  Take away the right of parents to know what their children are being exposed in the public schools
6.  By federal judicial fiat, abolish all laws against any form of pornography, even child pornography.

I must say, though, I had previously circulated the petition for the OHCFA at a local BMV because someone told me that I could.  (I learned later that the Ohio Project itself is telling people to do this.)  But as I later realized, this is really an illegal practice* and it should be stopped immediately.  There are a host reasons why this is a bad idea.  This can be used as propaganda against us and it makes us look no better than those Democrats who broke the law by offering teenagers ice cream if they would take a bus downtown to vote.  Even though you may get permission from some BMV employee, that doesn't change the fact that it is illegal.  The employees at the BMV could get in trouble for it.  The front window clearly says "no solicitation". And its just plain wrong to break the law.  We should all want this victory to be completely above board.  Let's not be like the ACLU and their "win at all costs" mentality.

*But note that at most BMV locations (that I have seen) there are adjacent businesses.  If you were to get permission from such a business you could circulate the petition on their property as long as you don't go cross over into the part which belongs to the BMV.  And maybe there are some BMVs where the sidewalk in front of it is public (but I don't know of any) and so in that case it might also be OK.
