Obama thinking: Whitey you need to make reparations for your racist actions and making me look stupid, so you help Professor Gates down the stairs. Obama thinking all about himself in his own little world. He can look ignorant in front of cameras because he really doesn't care about anything or anyone but myself.
Mall Politics at its worst: The Liberals have taken over one North Carolina Mall and made it known that it forbids any freedom-loving, pro-America, anti-Obama, Christian and conservative ideas in this Simon Mall.
NO OPPOSING POINTS OF VIEW AT THIS MALL
The only conservative anti-Obama company's kiosk is getting kicked out of the Concord Mills Mall in North Carolina
"Free market Warrior" gets kicked outta Mall for at least one passerby that complained about these so-called racist
and bigoted bumper stickers.
The owner, Loren Spivack, says these bumper stickers and
posters are meant to be "biting" :
1)“Impeach Obama. “
2)“Al Qaeda’s favorite days: 9/11/01 and 11/04/08.”
3)“Work Harder. Obama needs the money.”
These are not racist sayings!! In fact, I think there totally hilarious. But, the Liberal who owns Simon Malls kicked out the only conservative kiosk that expressed a different point-of-view. I guess the socialist or communists have entered this country and are starting to take over our malls all across this country.
"The kiosk chain’s owner shared e-mail correspondence with Newschannel 36 that explains that the mall management has decided that the items sold are not “neutral” enough. The lease will be allowed to expire July 31, 2009 without an option to renew."
Excuse me. . .
What would a left-wing extremist like Melvin Simon consider "neutral?"
Probably, anything promoting a leftist agenda that says F**k America
Anything that promotes murdering innocent unborn babies
Anything that is Anti-Military
Anything that promotes a Communist/Socialist government
This stinks. . .
Melvin Simon has provided large political contributions to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Al Franken, John Edwards, the DNC and many other Democrats and Democrat organizations.
The blue tinted fog fills the air with an awful stench . . .
Melvin Simon is the same person who shut down the Atlanta Tea Party. The Tea Party was going to be held at a parking lot next to Gwinnett Mall in Atlanta, which just happens to be a Simon Mall. This man was so sneaky and evil that he didn't give the tea party organizers notice until it was too late to find another location.
I pledge that I will not enter a SIMON MALL(unless forced to under duress) in the United States of America. I refuse to support the socialists of America who are tearing down our right to free speech.
Hasn't the owner of Simon Malls heard of the 1st Amendment? Obviously the guy doesn't give a rats a$$ about the freedom of speech. Or he's another Liberal who thinks that the freedom of speech only applies to Liberals. Well, Dammit it doesn't. It applies to EVERYONE!!! I am sick of the hypocrisy of the Left!!! Now it is time to rebel or fight back with everyone holding back their money from supporting this corrupt enterprise called SIMON MALLS.
So now, are conservatives going to have to start up and build their own malls to counteract the culture of corruption within the liberal malls? This Liberal takeover MUST BE STOPPED!!!!
So I say Freedom of Speech has been shattered to Pieces!
Now, we conservatives must fight to put these pieces back together.
This morning, House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) appeared on Fox News to discuss health care reform adn the supposed "Blue Dog Democrat" deal that is still a bad deal for the American people.
The baby that was taken last weekend from a murder victim has been found safe and sound. This is truly a miracle. I know in my heart that God protected this newborn from any harm. The police have arrested and charged the suspect and she is now in custody. The police tracked them down in New Hamphire. The newborn baby is being evaluated at a New Hampshire hospital.
I just recently saw a video of Congressman Randy Forbes discussing how this nation was built on Judeo -Christian principles and is still a Judeo-Christian nation today. He takes issue with certain anti-Christian Obama rhetoric. Seeing the video of Congressman Randy Forbes brought back my repugnance for Obama's anti-Christian words. Obama on April 6, 2009 said "U.S. is not more a Christian nation, or a Jewish nation, or a Muslim nation." He has also said "We are no longer a Christian nation." With this statement Obama is trying to minimize the importance and the fact that the United States was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. He is trying to further his anti-Christian agenda by disregarding the importance of this nation being founded on Godly principles.
Excuse me but the President is distorting reality. Obama may want to decree from the top down that we are no longer a Christian nation but the reality is that the United States has many Americans today that still practice a Judeo-Christian way of life. The Judeo-Christian principles are very much alive today. Has Obama chosen to make his version of the U.S. not a Christian nation? Obama's native birthplace may be mainly a Muslim nation but the United States of America was founded on Judeo-Christian values and is still mainly a Judeo-Christian nation today. Obama, the anti-Christian President, may want to change or distort that reality but he is going to have a fight on his hands before he corrupts and destroys the morality of this great nation we call the United States of America. I will fight like hell to keep the belief in Christianity alive so that we are not taken down a path filled with moral relativism. Obama, as the Anti-Christian President is distorting reality today in order to promote his secularist or Anti-Christian agenda. He does not exemplify the experience, morality or ethics required to be President of the United States. One example is how he responded stupidly to the question regarding the Cambridge Police and Professor Gates. He is not qualified to be President of the U.S. but unfortunately we had a bunch of stupid oprahbots following their orders to vote for their first African-American President. Obama is trying to change this nation into a secularist society. He has no regard for respecting our Godly Judeo-Christian principles of both past and present. All these liberals like to do is distort reality in order to promote their corrupt agenda. On the campaign trail Obama called for transparency but has not adhered to that promise since being President. In fact, he has been about as transparent as a brick wall. Since Obama has been elected he has consistently been responsible for the demoralization of the United States and promoted an anti-Christian agenda for the United States during speeches both in the United States and overseas.
Evidence that we are still a Judeo-Christian today:
According to the American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) 76% of Americans identify themselves associate themselves with Christianity.
Chaplains daily prayer in the Senate started in 1789 and Congress still today has a chaplain start the day with a prayer in Congress.
George W. Bush quotes:
"I fully understand that the job of the president is and must always be protecting the great right of people to worship or not worship as they see fit. That's what distinguishes us from the Taliban. The greatest freedom we have or one of the greatest freedoms is the right to worship the way you see fit. "On the other hand, I don't see how you can be president at least from my perspective, how you can be president, without a relationship with the Lord."
"Through prayer, our faith is strengthened, our hearts are humbled, and our lives are transformed. May our Nation always have the humility to trust in the goodness of God's plans."
"The right to have religious beliefs and to freely practice such beliefs are among the most fundamental freedoms we possess."
"Because the Framers placed the guarantee of religious freedom before other cherished rights, religious liberty in America is often called the first freedom."
FDR's D-Day Prayer
Here is some evidence that the United States was indeed founded on Judeo-Christian principles:
In the Declaration of Independence,
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Bill of Rights Article 3:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Articles of Confederation:
The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever.
"Can the liberties of a nation be secure, when we have removed the conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?" —Thomas Jefferson
These are quotes from George Washington:
"What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ." --George Washington in a speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs May 12, 1779
"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible."
"To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian" [May 2, 1778, at Valley Forge]
"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors."
Obama looks up to and respects The Mayo Clinic's high quality of medical care as per his comments shown here: Obama, June 11: "And so what you’ve got is a situation where, for example, the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, is famous for some of the best quality and some of the lowest cost. People are healthier coming out of there, they do great."
Obama, June 24: "Well, I think what's important is to say to the American People that you should get the best possible care to make you well. And that the measure of the quality of care is not quantity, but whether or not it is making you better. Now, what we've seen is that there's some communities and some health systems that do this very well. Mayo Clinic, a classic example. In Rochester, Minnesota. People go there. They-- spend about 20-30 percent less than some other parts of the country, and yet have better outcomes."
Obama, July 1: "There are some places, like the Mayo Clinic -- many of you have heard of -- provides outstanding care, some of the best in the world. People fly in from everywhere to go to Mayo Clinic to get treatment. It turns out Mayo provides care much more cheaply than a lot of other health systems, even though it's better care."
But, How much does The Mayo Clinic love Obama's Health Care Bill?
The Mayo Clinic stated: Although there are some positive provisions in the current House Tri-Committee bill – including insurance for all and payment reform demonstration projects – the proposed legislation misses the opportunity to help create higher-quality, more affordable health care for patients. In fact, it will do the opposite.
In general, the proposals under discussion are not patient focused or results oriented. Lawmakers have failed to use a fundamental lever – a change in Medicare payment policy – to help drive necessary improvements in American health care. Unless legislators create payment systems that pay for good patient results at reasonable costs, the promise of transformation in American health care will wither. The real losers will be the citizens of the United States.
Obama needs to listen to The Mayo Clinic, whom he respects for their excellence in heath care, and STOP. . . DROP. . . LISTEN. . . REDO
Obama needs to KILL HIS BILL and START OVER
I believe that the Mayo Clinic has put a huge dent in President Obama's argument that his Health Care Bill will improve everyone's quality and access to medical care in the United States. I think Obama needs to take one giant step back for mankind.
Thank You to Mary Katherine Ham at http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/07/obama_loves_mayo_but_mayo_does.asp for the quotes.
Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. The first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969. The astronauts also returned to Earth the first samples from another planetary body. Apollo 11 achieved its primary mission - to perform a manned lunar landing and return the mission safely to Earth - and paved the way for the Apollo lunar landing missions to follow.
Crew Members:
Neil Armstrong -commander
Michael Collins-command module pilot
Edwin Aldrin- lunar module pilot
Apollo 11 Landing Site Mare Tranquillitatis (Sea of Tranquility)00.67408 °N latitude, 23.47297 °E longitude For the first lunar landing, Mare Tranquilitatis was the site chosen because it is a relatively smooth and level area. It does, however, have a high density of craters and in the last seconds before landing, the LM had to be manually piloted by Neil Armstrong to avoid a sharp-rimmed ray crater measuring some 180 meters across and 30 meters deep known as West. The LM landed safely some 6 km from the originally intended landing site.
The mission fulfilled PresidentJohn F. Kennedy's goal of reaching the moon by the end of the 1960s, which he expressed during a speech given before a joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961:[2] "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."
1)Right there on page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal, says Investor's Business Daily (IBD).
The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian header of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:
With Exceptions such as: 2)Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it.
3)Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers.
I thought Obama said we could keep our health insurance plan, I guess NOT for as people switch from one job to another this would force Americans to participate in Obama's public-option.
As a critic of the Obama health care Govt. single-payer public option, here is further evidence of how this plan will take away individual freedom:
Drawn by a public option that will be 30 percent to 40 percent cheaper than their current premiums because taxpayers will be funding it, employers will gladly scrap their private plans and go with Washington's coverage. The nonpartisan Lewin Group estimated in April that 120 million or more Americans could lose their group coverage at work and end up in such a program. That would leave private carriers with 50 million or fewer customers; this could cause the market to, as Lewin Vice President John Sheils put it, "fizzle out altogether."
What wasn't known until now is that the bill itself will kill the market for private individual coverage by not letting any new policies be written after the public option becomes law, says IBD.
This legislation would effectively kill off health savings sccounts, which is what Democrats have wanted for years. Health savings accounts would give individuals more control over their medical care, and the government less control. But, with Obama's public-option(which is not an option at all) it would give a huge amount of control to the government in regulating our health care needs.
Obamacare=Government Control=Rationing of medical Care
Additional Troubling Evidence Regarding Impact of Single-Payer Health Care(Like Canadas):
1)Canada's mortality rate is 25% higher for breast cancer
2)Canada's mortality rate is 18% higher for prostate Cancer
3) Canada's mortality rate is 13% higher for colorectal cancer, and . . .
4)50% of all diabetics have trouble with high blood pressure. It is controlled in 36% of cases within the United States, but only in 9% of cases in Canada
Do Other Countries With a Single-Payer Health Care System Have Greater Access to Care?
1)Britain has only one-fourth as many CT scanners per capita as the U.S
2)one-third as many MRI scanners
3)The rate at which the British provide coronary-bypass surgery or angioplasty to heart patients is only one-fourth the U.S. rate
4)hip replacements are only two-thirds the U.S. rate
But, the U.S. Tops in:
5)The rate for treating kidney failure (dialysis or transplant) is five times higher in the U.S. for patients between the ages of 45 and 84, and nine times higher for patients 85 years or older.
Further Grim Reports in Long Waiting Periods for Medical Procedures Under a Single-Payer Option, Which is what Obama's Health Care Reform Bill actually is.
"Overall, nearly 1.8 million Britons are waiting for hospital or outpatient treatments at any given time. In 2002-2004, dialysis patients waited an average of 16 days for permanent blood-vessel access in the U.S., 20 days in Europe, and 62 days in Canada. In 2000, Norwegian patients waited an average of 133 days for hip replacement, 63 days for cataract surgery, 160 days for a knee replacement, and 46 days for bypass surgery after being approved for treatment. Short waits for cataract surgery produce better outcomes, prompt coronary-artery bypass reduces mortality, and rapid hip replacement reduces disability and death. Studies show that only 5 percent of Americans wait more than four months for surgery, compared with 23 percent of Australians, 26 percent of New Zealanders, 27 percent of Canadians, and 36 percent of Britons."
These are some of the reasons I note as why I am against Obamacare. It is not an option, but in fact the Govt. so called option would be forcing Tyranny on us all. This is not what our founding fathers fought for in the American Revolution. Our founding fathers fought for their freedom against tyranny, the kind that Obama is proposing. I will continue addtional updates regarding the health care issue.
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Members who vote in favor of the establishment of a public, Federal Government run health insurance option are urged to forgo their right to participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and agree to enroll under that public option.
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that Members who vote in favor of the establishment of a public, Federal Government run health insurance option are urged to forgo their right to participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and agree to enroll under that public option.
NO Democrats have agreed to this Resolution
Why?
If Democrats really think Obama's Govt. run health care is so great why haven't they agreed to enroll under the public option? I think the House Democrats know that this program doesn't even come close to the high quality of health insurance and health care, that they are provided under their Federal Health Benefits Program. So, why would they want the American people to have a lesser quality of health care then they do? I don't know. Doesn't this show exactly how much House Democrats care about U.S. citizens' health care?
Has Obama Ever Proven His Eligibility to be President of the United States?
NO
Obama Has NEVER Released his Long-form Birth Certificate
(The short-form birth certificate that Obama released to the public was given to people who were also NOT born in Hawaii at that period of time)
Army Warrior Challenges Obama Eligibility
And . . . .
Major Cook got his orders revoked, Yea!!!
Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook Stated:
"As an officer in the armed forces of the United States, it is [my] duty to gain clarification on any order we may believe illegal. With that said, if President Obama is found not to be a 'natural-born citizen,' he is not eligible to be commander-in-chief," he told WND only hours after the case was filed."As an officer in the armed forces of the United States, it is [my] duty to gain clarification on any order we may believe illegal. With that said, if President Obama is found not to be a 'natural-born citizen,' he is not eligible to be commander-in-chief," he told WND only hours after the case was filed. "[Then] any order coming out of the presidency or his chain of command is illegal. Should I deploy, I would essentially be following an illegal [order]. If I happened to be captured by the enemy in a foreign land, I would not be privy to the Geneva Convention protections," he said.
Cook said, If Obama is not a legitimate Commander-in-Chief than members of the U.S. military serving overseas actions could be considered. . . . "War criminals and subject to Prosecution."He said the vast array of information about Obama that is not available to the public confirms to him "something is amiss."
Every time an inquiry has been filed regarding Obama's legitimacy to be President, Obama has his lawyers scurrying like rabbits in order to conceal the truth from the public. It is very troubling. Instead of this administration taking the inquiry seriously the Obama administration has acted childishly in laughing at the requests or just dismissing it instantly.
The next step for Orly Taitz, Cook's lawyer, is going to be requesting the release of Obama's records because now this completely undermines the military.
Obama needs to release his vital records to prove that he is in fact a legitimate President. I am surprised that during the Democratic Primary, Obama was not forced to prove his U.S. citizenship. I find it very fishy that Obama has not released his long-form birth certificate in order to answer this serious and legitimate matter. If Obama released his long-form birth certificate the the Obama birth mystery would go away.
This is my response to acruel article on Sarah Palin by Peggy Noonan. She had supportive and positivewords regarding the possibility of an Obama administration. Since she displayed positive words of support for Obama, how conservative could she really be?
Peggy Noonan’s roots are firmly grounded in and around New York City. She was raised in one of the most elitist and liberal cities in the country. She still lives in NYC. Peggy Noonan did work on the T.V. drama series West Wing. West Wing was a “left” ideological T.V. drama. She was a producer at CBS news in New York and wrote news specials for CBS. She also wroteDan Rathers daily commentary for him. Dan Rather is a liberal democrat. Is this a model of a true conservative?
In her scathing article, Peggy Noonan said that Sarah Palin is both bad for Republicans and bad for the Republic. That is an outrageous!!!! statement. I believe that the elitism of New York City has contributed to Peggy Noonan's deranged thoughts. Palin has similar political views as President Ronald Reagan, yet Noonan believes that Palin is not good for our country. As a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan, did Noonan really believe in what she wrote for Reagan? After 2005, Peggy’s liberal tendencies have surfaced more notably. Examples of this are her positive words supporting Obama, being content with an Obama administration, and her displays of cruel negativity with regard to Sarah Palin.
Peggy Noonan even said that Sarah Palin should not have responded to Letterman’s attacks on her two daughters. What kind of a mother would not respond to vile attacks on their daughters? Noonan criticizes Palin for stumbling in interviews. Palin had to endure vicious scathing attacks and gotcha interviews. Peggy Noonan has never had to endure the kind of scathing attacks or gotcha interviews that Palin did, so what justifies her criticisms of Sarah Palin? Peggy sits behind her desk and has the availability to look up terms such as Bush Doctrine and has plenty of time to write up an article.
Peggy Noonan's displays of conceit with regard to her elitism, have contributed to her snobbish personality, which has made it impossible for her to comprehend the importance of "regular joes." Peggy is an elitist who exemplifies her disdain for the success of "regular joes." Sarah Palin stands up for the “regular joes” all across our country. She is the ANTI-ELITIST. She bucks the usual party politics. Noonan has made it clear that she likes being among the status quo of elitists in NYC, and sticking to the same old tune of politics as usual. Is she really a conservative?
Peggy Noonan said the "The elites made her." Noonan is wrong. Palin did not have help from the elites while working her way up the ranks in becoming Governor of Alaska. I think Noonan in an egotistical way wants to take some credit for Palin’s introduction to the national stage. Well, Peggy bought into the fallacies, charm of the liberals sayings “change” and “hope”, and even delved into gutter politics, just like a liberal. Is Peggy Noonan really a conservative?
Eric Cantor, one of the leading members in the Republican Party gives The Republican Weekly Address:
Here is the text of Eric Cantor's Weekly Address: Hello. I’m House Republican Whip Eric Cantor and I have the great privilege of representing the hardworking people of Virginia’s seventh district. American families and small businesses today are struggling. Republicans have put forth thoughtful, serious and comprehensive plans of action that put jobs first. We offered an economic recovery plan that would have revitalized struggling small businesses and helped middle-class families by putting Americans back to work. Yet, the President, in tandem with Democrats in Congress, have pushed through a $787 billion dollar bill full of pork barrel spending, government waste, and massive borrowing cleverly called ‘stimulus.’ There is no doubt that our nation faces many challenges, but the plain truth is that President Obama’s economic decisions have not produced jobs, have not produced prosperity, and simply have not worked. President Obama has already asked you to borrow trillions of dollars, and so far nearly 3 million jobs have been lost alone this year. Remember the promises? They promised you that if you paid for their stimulus, jobs would be created immediately. In fact, they said that unemployment would stay under eight percent. Yet just months later, they are telling us to brace for unemployment to climb over ten percent. They promised jobs created. Now they scramble to find a way to play games with government numbers by claiming jobs saved. Simply put, this is now President Obama’s economy and the American people are beginning to question whether his policies are working. But that doesn’t mean we are out of options. Together, we can bring about a strong and real recovery. We can create an environment that empowers small businesses and American workers to thrive. We must focus on job creation and restoring the financial and retirement security lost by millions of Americans. And for the sake of our children and our long-term fiscal viability, Washington must stop spending money that it doesn’t have. That’s why every day, my Republican colleagues and I are fighting to enact policies that will stabilize our economy, create jobs and ignite prosperity. You and your family deserve no less. Since January, we have offered alternatives to the out-of-control, big government, Democrat agenda that unfortunately became law and has completely failed to create jobs. Our plan is simple and smart and its strength is that it doesn’t invest in Washington, it invests in the American people. We believe Washington should stop its war on the Middle Class and reduce taxes so every hardworking, taxpaying-family in America will see an immediate increase in their income. A prosperous middle class is critical for our entire nation’s well being. We believe Washington must stop targeting America’s small businesses and instead should empower them by allowing employers to take a tax deduction to free up funds to retain and hire new workers. Our history proves that it is the small businessmen and women who will reignite our economy by putting people back to work. Washington should get out of the way and encourage small business employers to start or grow a business. Lastly, we believe Washington must be responsible for every taxpayer dollar that is spent. Washington MUST live within its means. We will not support taxes hikes to pay for even more so-called stimulus spending. The overwhelming majority of Americans are working hard and are playing by the rules. They are providing for their families and doing their part to return America to the pinnacle of prosperity. Their reward? Trillions more in debt. For the ‘stimulus’ alone, Washington borrowed nearly ten thousand dollars from every American household. Let me ask you: do you feel $10,000 richer today? Do you feel $10,000 better off? If you don’t, please know most people agree. That is why we continue our fight because during these tough economic times, it often seems that Washington is offering you few choices except for spend and borrow. I’m here today to let you know there are alternatives – common-sense tax relief; smart and necessary reductions in spending, and intelligent policies that do not bankrupt our nation. That is why I’m asking you to join our fight for accountability and common-sense. Call your Congressman, your Senator, and your President and let them know that you think Washington should stop the reckless spending, stop the careless borrowing and stop the war on the Middle Class. We can do better and we will do better, but first we have to first come together to change what is going on. The time is critical, the choice is yours. I’m Eric Cantor, and on behalf of my Republican colleagues, join with us to get Washington working for you once again. Thank you for listening.Source URL: http://outlawrepublican.blogspot.com/2009/07/ Visit Out law republican for Daily Updated Hairstyles Collection
The IRS is treading on the first Amendment rights of the members of the Coalition for Life in Iowa. The members were told that they had to give up their 1st amendment rights if they wanted to be recognized as a non-profit organization. Has the IRS made this same demand of Pro-Abortion non-profit groups? Or Leftist non-profits? If not, this is hypocrisy at its worst. If not, then this double standard must be stopped!!
"As detailed in its … narrative, the Coalition for Life carries out its tax-exempt work
by sponsoring educational forums and coordinating with other like-minded groups to educate the public and otherwise promote sanctity of life principles," the letter continues.
"The Coalition is aware that from time to time, individuals who may or may not be involved with the Coalition gather for prayer outside of a Planned Parenthood facility. These gatherings are consistently small (ten or fewer people), peaceful, not in any way disrupting, and consist solely of silent and spoken prayers," the lawyer wrote.

"The Coalition is aware that from time to time, individuals who may or may not be involved with the Coalition gather for prayer outside of a Planned Parenthood facility. These gatherings are consistently small (ten or fewer people), peaceful, not in any way disrupting, and consist solely of silent and spoken prayers," the lawyer wrote.
However, an IRS agent then contacted the Coalition, through its president Susan Martinek, demanding to know whether the group "engaged in any 'picketing' or 'protest' activities at Planned Parenthood. … You then asked Ms. Martinek to have all Coalition Board members sign a statement that the Coalition will not 'picket' or 'protest' outside of Planned Parenthood or similar organizations and will not 'organize' others to do so," the law firm's letter said.
Each of us, as United States citizens' have a write to peaceful protest, according to the constitution. The IRS is taking away freedom from this Pro-Life group, called The Coalition for Life. This is totally outrageous. What other rights' of ours, according to the constitution will this administration or/and govt. take away next? This is outrageous!!!
"The IRS' requests come perilously close to violating the First Amendment constitutional rights of the Coalition's supporters, and they are not otherwise germane to the Coalition for Life's pending ... application
" As you acknowledged verbally to me over the telephone, the Coalition's application is now ripe for approval. The IRS's delay and questioning … constitutes unnecessary and prejudicial interference with the Coalition's legal right to a tax-exempt determination."
"This is the way government oppression creeps into a society," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "It starts when the government targets, and attempts to intimidate and silence the grassroots dissenters who will not dance to the tune of the Obama administration’s radically pro-abortion policies."
"This is not only political intimidation by the Internal Revenue Service but it is a blatant violation of First Amendment rights," Brown said. "Neither the Coalition for Life of Iowa nor any other educational and advocacy organization should be subjected to such discriminatory scrutiny. This is a clear case of government repression."
I am outraged by this coercion being used by the IRS to try and intimidate Pro-Life groups from peacefully protesting. WE MUST STOP THIS!!! NEXT TAX DAY, IS THERE A REVOLUTION IN THE WORKS? POSSIBLY STOPPING THE GRAVY TRAIN!!!!!
Yesterday, in the morning, I was listening to a fill-in for the conservative commentators, Quinn & Rose, and their fill-in mentioned a letter showing blatant ignorance and a lack of respect for our heroes in the military. He seems to be mocking the military in a very inconsiderate way. I'm sorry, but it was 9 A.M., not early in the morning, and obviously this was not a regular occurrence, or the guy would have complained about the noise disturbance at an earlier time. If this person had actually put some thoughts in his little pea brain of his, then maybe he would have put 2+2 together and figured out, that obviously this was "special" flyover, since it was not an everyday occurrence. No, the moron only acted out of selfishness and had the gall to write a complaint in the form of a letter.
Here is the letter: The complaint: 'Question of the day for Luke Air Force Base: Whom do we thank for the morning air show? Last Wednesday, at precisely 9:11 A.M, a tight formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over Arrowhead Mall, continuing west over Bell Road at approximately 500 feet. Imagine our good fortune! Do the Tom Cruise-wannabes feel we need this wake-up call, or were they trying to impress the cashiers at Mervyns early bird special? Any response would be appreciated.
The response: Regarding 'A wake-up call from Luke's jets' On June 15, at precisely 9:12 a.m., a perfectly timed four- ship fly by of F-1 6s from the 63rd Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base flew over the grave of Capt. Jeremy Fresques. Capt Fresques was an Air Force officer who was previously stationed at Luke Air Force Base and was killed in Iraq on May 30, Memorial Day.
At 9 a. m. on June 15, his family and friends gathered at Sunland Memorial Park in Sun City to mourn the loss of a husband, son and friend. Based on the letter writer's recount of the fly by, and because of the jet noise, I'm sure you didn't hear the 21-gun salute, the playing of taps, or my words to the widow and parents of Capt. Fresques as I gave them their son's flag on behalf of the President of the United States and all those veterans and servicemen and women who understand the sacrifices they have endured..
A four-ship fly by is a display of respect the Air Force gives to those who give their lives in defense of freedom. We are professional aviators and take our jobs seriously, and on June 15 what the letter writer witnessed was four officers lining up to pay their ultimate respects.
The letter writer asks, 'Who m do we thank for the morning air show? The 56th Fighter Wing will make the call for you, and forward your thanks to the widow and parents of Capt Fresques, and thank them for you, for it was in their honor that my pilots flew the most honorable formation of their lives.
Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you.....Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
Lt. Col. Grant L. Rosensteel, Jr. USAF
I absolutely love this letter. This makes the guy look like a moron and rips him a new one. I am proud at the way Lt. Col. Grant L. Rosensteel, Jr USAF handled the complaint. He has shown that he is serving our country with both honor and dignity. May Capt. Fresques be honored and remembered for his ultimate sacrifice for our country.Source URL: http://outlawrepublican.blogspot.com/2009/07/ Visit Out law republican for Daily Updated Hairstyles Collection

A USA Today Gallop Poll was taken on July 6, 2009 and it showed that 53% of Americans believe the news coverage of Sarah Palin was "unfairly negative", while 9% felt it was "unfairly positive", and 28% says it has been just about right.
I have not in my lifetime seen a political figure, as well as her family, be so viciously attacked by the MSM. She has had to endure baseless attacks and ethics investigations, that have put her at least $500,000 in debt. The "Left" has vindictively attacked both Sarah Palin and her family. Some examples of those attacks most recently include: Letterman's(non) jokes, a recent Vanity Fair article, and an article by the Huffington Post attacking her son Trig, who has Down Syndrome. The "Left" has proved that they are a bunch of unconscionable human beings. If a conservative had done half the vicious attacks against a Liberal political figure there would be calls for that person's resignation, immediately.
Sarah Palin is awesome!!! She hunts, fishes, goes snow machining, while also taking care of her family. She stands up for principles and she does what she sees is best for her state and the country. She has a love of country and a type of personality I have not seen since Ronald Reagan. She has stood up against corruption in both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. According to Lt. Governor Purnell, she has had more accomplishments in her two and a half years as governor, than most governors in four years, or even most governors serving for 8 years. She stands up for conservative values and is against wasteful spending. After consulting some top figureheads within the Republican Party, she has chosen that resigning as governor is the right decision for Alaska. I hope that she is successful on all of her endeavors.
I will be promoting Sarah Palin regardless of whether she runs for President or not. She is a person that had to rely on hard work in order to be successful and was not raised in a wealthy or a rich family. She has inspired me in a lot of ways and as a blogger I will continue to fight off these vile and false attacks by the MSM. In the same Poll, 19% of Americans say they are very likely, and 24% were somewhat likely to vote for Palin in the 2012 Presidential election. That's a pretty good start, for it being over 3 years away, until the next election. I believe that Sarah Palin can use this opportunity to promote herself nationally and better her image among the independent voters. I believe that she is is still one of the top forerunners in the GOP for the 2012 Presidential election. She has great tenacity, and I believe that she will make an awesome comeback, and show the liberals that they can shove it.
Gerald Celente Predicts "The Greatest Depression."
Is the United States going to be mimicking California's economic policies? Is the U.S. headed towards bankruptcy like California? Are Obama's economic policies a train wreck waiting to happen?
During one of my sociology classes in college, I studied Democracy in America by Alexis De Tocqueville. I recently reviewed the writings of Democracy in America again,and I found these two paragraphs quite interesting.
"It is not only the fortunes of men that are equal in America; even their acquirements partake in some degree of the same uniformity. I do not believe that there is a country in the world where, . in proportion to the population, there are so few ignorant and at the same time so few learned individuals. Primary instruction is within the reach of everybody; superior instruction is scarcely to be obtained by any. This is not surprising; it is, in fact, the necessary consequence of what I have advanced above. Almost all the Americans are in easy circumstances and can therefore obtain the first elements of human knowledge."
"In America there are but few wealthy persons; nearly all Americans have to take a profession. Now, every profession requires an apprenticeship. The Americans can devote to general education only the early years of life. At fifteen they enter upon their calling, and thus their education generally ends at the age when ours begins. If it is continued beyond that point, it aims only towards a particular specialized and profitable purpose; one studies science as one takes up a business; and one takes up only those applications whose immediate practicality is recognized."
I believe that there are quite a few similarities in these two paragraphs between America in the 19th Century and America of today. Do you believe that in present day every person has the opportunity to achieve success as it is mentioned above? It seems to me that today education is highly accessible to children in both primary and high schools, but is difficult to attain a college degree because of the increase of costs of attending college. De Toqueville states that in the 1800's primary instruction is within reach of everyone, but yet there were so few learned individuals. Are todays college financial burdens similar to the educational constraints of De Tocqueville's America? Do you see any other similarities between De Tocqueville's America and America today?Source URL: http://outlawrepublican.blogspot.com/2009/07/ Visit Out law republican for Daily Updated Hairstyles Collection
After seeing the memorable picture of the fire fighters raising the flag after 9/11, I decided to dedicate Independence Day to a very special Fallen Hero, my Father-in-Law, George S. Rice. I never knew my father-in-law since he died when my husband, Kevin was only 8 years old. I consider George Rice one of the bravest men ever, to sacrifice his life in the line of duty in order to protect others'. I am proud of both him and my husband. My husband had to endure the loss of his father at eight years old. I can't imagine what he and his family went through on that day and in the days ahead. I believe that it is one of the most selfless acts ever, to give one's own life in the line of duty.
On August 2nd, 1978 George Rice and several other firefighters responded to a fire at the Waldbaum's Grocery Store, in a section of Brooklyn called Sheepshead Bay. Three engine Companies, and two ladder companies, along with the 33 Battalion were dispatched to the scene. The Waldbaum's was under major renovations at the time. The workers pointed out where the fire apparently started. Due to the renovations the fire quickly spread to the roof. As the fire worsened the 33rd battalion sent out a second alarm. As Units were operating on the roof area the fire worsened, and the fire was now shown through two roof areas. The roof ended up collapsing. The Brave Fallen Firefighters were found amidst the rubble of what used to be the Waldbaum's store. There were five other firefighters who died alongside George Rice. On the 20th Anniversary of the six firefighters deaths the corner where the Waldbaum's Store used to stand, was now to be called Fireman's Corner in honor of the six firefighters who gave their lives on August 2, 1978. God Bless to a very special hero, George Rice.
As we remember all of our brave men and women on Independence day, the birthday of our nation, I am proud to honor especially today George Rice. From the stories I have heard, he was a great father to my husband. It is unfortunate that his life was taken so soon, but I believe that both Kevin and I have a very special angel in heaven watching over us today. Even though, I never had the opportunity to meet him I feel that I have a special connection with him.
Here are both Chip Reid and Helen Thomas grilling Robert Gibbs regarding President Obama having questions pre-screened before his townhall meeting. Here is a portion of what Helen Thomas said,"The point is the control from here. We have never had that in the White House. And we have had some control but not this control. I mean I'm amazed, I'm amazed at you people who call for openness ..."
Last Wednesday night ABC held a town hall meeting promoting President Obama’s health care agenda. ABC and other liberals want you to believe that this was a debate on how to fix costs within the health care industry. But, for there to be a debate there must be more than one view presented. And that didn’t happen. Commercials were not even allowed to be purchased to show opposing or different ideas on the health care debate. Debate is a very good thing when you are trying to figure out how to fix a system that is broken. The fact that ABC wants to pretend that there was debate and discussion regarding the health care industry is a crock of s**t. One view equals no debate for it is clearly not possible. There was a question and answer session where Obama answered citizens’ questions about his nationalized health care plan.

Obama to Jane: Your Ma Ma is so Old . . .
There was one question and answer that peaked my interest. For Obama’s answer was so cold and appalling that I thought that he was Frankenstein talking about a robot or a mannequin, and not an actual person. Here is the dialogue between Jane Sturm and President Obama: Member of the audience. Jane Sturm: "My mother is now over 105. But at 100, the doctors said to her, 'I can't do anything more unless you have a pacemaker.' I said, 'Go for it.' She said, 'Go for it.' But the specialist said, 'No, she's too old.' But when the other specialist saw her and saw her joy of life, he said, 'I'm going for it.' That was over five years ago. My question to you is: Outside the medical criteria for prolonging life for somebody who is elderly, is there any consideration that can be given for a certain spirit, a certain joy of living, a quality of life, or is it just a medical cutoff at a certain age?"
Obama: "I don't think that we can make judgments based on people's 'spirit.' Uh, that would be, uh, a pretty subjective decision to be making. I think we have to have rules that, uh, say that, uh, we are going to provide good quality care for all people. End-of-life care is one of the most difficult sets of decisions that we're going to have to make. But understand that those decisions are already being made in one way or another. If they're not being made under Medicare and Medicaid, they're being made by private insurers. At least we can let doctors know -- and your mom know -- that you know what, maybe this isn't going to help. Maybe you're better off, uhh, not having the surgery, but, uhh, taking the painkiller."

Obama to Obsolete Human Robots-Take a Pill and Drop Dead
Jane explained to Obama that her mother has lived an additional five years after the pacemaker was put in her mother’s heart. What was stunning to me was that in Obama’s response he was clearly stating that the procedure which extended her mother’s life should have never happened. Even after knowing the outcome Obama states that retroactively this procedure should not have been performed, because under his plan, we’re going to make those decisions means that the Govt. will be deciding in your old age whether a procedure is worth it or not, whether it is cost effective to save your life or not. Should we really be letting the government decide on our outcomes based on the dollar? A life is more precious and valuable than the almighty dollar. From Obama making this statement I surmise that he believes that money is worth more than a human life and displays that he believes life is dispensable. Well, there are other humans to take your place so why spend so much money to keep you alive? Maybe the family members want their loved one to stay around as long as they can. With a private insurance there are options. A person and their loved ones, and the doctors can make the decision whether the procedure should be done and whether the costs are worth it or not depending on the procedure, specifically, whether it should be paid for out of pocket if the insurance company refuses to cover it. Nationalized heath care such as that proposed by Obama, and practiced in Canada and England, eliminates the latter option.
Like Obama said, there must be rules that will not account for subjectivity or one’s spirit. It’s just the hard, cold reality that the rule must be followed even though a person could have been saved if it wasn’t for a certain rule. Does Obama believe that human lives are like robots one and the same? He states that end of life decisions should not be subjective, but yet the elderly should be subjected to rules like on a production line, like a product. Humans are not mere products or inanimate objects, humans are living beings who are subjective and need to be treated in that manner when making health related decisions. Human beings are not to merely be treated as robots following rules. He implied even though her mother has lived longer because of the surgery, she would have been better off just taking pain medication. In fact, Obama basically said that she, as an elderly woman, should not have been allowed to have the surgery because it was not cost effective.
