U.S 'For Your Own Good' Government  ''Remember the real motto of this country: E pluribus unum. Out of many, one. The "vast right-wing conspiracy" is becoming more united. Farmers
, factory workers, peace officers, store owners, plumbers and so many others are now aware of the dangers that await us in this brave new world the government wants to force on us "for our own good." ''

Who's boss here anyway?!  ''Fellow citizen, fellow employer: It's way past time for us to inform our employees they work for us. It's not the other way around. We'll make the decisions about how much debt we'll accept, what we'll pay for and how much, and what we categorically reject.''

A Free Society Must Have an Objective...  ''The free press must understand its life-giving role in out country. Reporters should not accept at face value the statements or positions of any public official, from the lowest to the highest, from the unpaid mayor of the humblest town to the president of the United States. Press releases are just that – the official line from some official who is thinking of his, his party's and his friends' good.''

The Savage silence of the lambs  Do you hear that sound, America? It is the tormenting sound of crickets chirping. It is the sound of Prometheus groaning in utter agony as his liver is daily eaten by a giant eagle commanded by Zeus. … It is the sound of the Savage silence of the lambs.

Separation of health and state  ''It is appropriate, therefore, to propound the following amendment to the Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of health care or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof.''

If you have faith in GOD, use it  ''Using our faith ultimately strengthens our faith. Some of us treat faith like it a fragile little egg. But that is not what faith is. Faith is tough. Faith is resilient. Faith gets stronger through use. Faith is like a muscle. You build it by using it. The same is true of faith.''

 Limbless man offers inspiration  ''Discouraged about your finances, employment, business, or rocky relationships? Meet a guy who will inspire you to face your challenges and dream big.''

An open racist on the U.S. Supreme Court

between the lines Joseph Farah

 

Do we really need an open racist on the U.S. Supreme Court?  

That's what we should be asking ourselves – especially after the current court reversed a racist ruling by Sonia Sotomayor, Barack Obama's nominee for the court.

It's no longer a secret.

It's right out there in the open.

And any member of the Senate who approves of Sotomayor's nomination tacitly condones her virulent racism that affects real people in negative ways because of their skin color.

Let's review the record on this shameful nominee.

In a 2001 speech, she said: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

I think that statement speaks for itself, but let me paraphrase: Latina women judges are better than white men judges.

Imagine the public furor if a white male judge offered the opposite assessment. Would he be nominated for the Supreme Court? Would he be confirmed? Or would he be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail?

But it's not just empty rhetoric from Sotomayor. She means what she says – and the evidence in her decisions. Sotomayor denied 19 New Haven firefighters promotions they had earned because none of them was black.

In other words, they were discriminated against for no other reason than the color of their skin. One of them, by the way, was a fellow Hispanic. Thankfully, this is the ruling overturned by a 5-4 ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court Monday.

OJ Simpson and Barack Obama


Obama and OJ. Two national love affairs.


No, I don't think Obama is another OJ Simpson. The two men could not be more different. It's a common marketing strategy that links them. White guilt and that ache for black vindication were a huge part of OJ's celebrity campaign. That's also what got Obama elected over Hillary and then McCain.
David Axelrod as a PR maven had obviously studied the opinion polls about black celebrities. They knew that a black man who looked and sounded good on TV could roll over the opposition; the media wouldn't dare to examine his background. OJ had demonstrated it, along with Oprah and a hundred other black celebrities.
Whites feel guilty about the historical exclusion of black athletes from professional sports. That history is true, and it was a terrible thing. OJ was a great football player, but he was also hero-worshipped far beyond his talents in a vain attempt to make up for the sins of past. Like Obama, OJ was an inkblot test for the American psyche.

Church of Scientology and FoxNews

FoxNews Supports SciFi Fantasy Religion


Travolta and Cruise deny pushing for the dismissal of entertainment reporter In a conspiracy as contorted as the plot of one of their action movies, Tom Cruise and John Travolta have been accused of persuading Rupert Murdoch's Fox News to sack an influential entertainment journalist who had a history of criticising the Church of Scientology.
Roger Friedman, who was dismissed in April after a decade covering the TV channel's Hollywood beat, announced yesterday that he intended to sue his former employer for wrongful termination, claiming that they fired him so that Cruise and Travolta would sign on to future Fox movie projects.
The lawsuit, which Friedman bullishly described as a "slam-dunk," promises to shed light on the close ties between powerful Scientologists and film studios that rely on their co-operation to get expensive movies off the ground. It is due to be filed in Manhattan later this week.
Cruise and Travolta have formally denied any connection to the sacking and Fox insists that the journalist was dismissed for writing a column on his "411" blog which encouraged readers to download an illegally pirated version of the 20th Century Fox blockbuster X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
In an interview with the New York Daily News, Friedman, who was a regular talking head on Fox News and wrote a blog on its website that was read by more than 50 million people, claimed that the official grounds were an elaborate cover story.
Though he was formally given the heave-ho for "promoting piracy" the journalist claims he was actually sacked to help Fox build stronger links with the Church of Scientology, of whom he had been a longstanding critic.
At the time of Friedman's dismissal, Fox was involved in protracted (and subsequently successful) negotiations to hire Cruise to appear in the forthcoming romantic comedy Wichita, alongside Cameron Diaz.
Friedman, now at The Hollywood Reporter, also claimed that Travolta's wife, Kelly Preston, had earlier attempted to get him fired last August after they became involved in a heated argument at the funeral of a mutual friend, the late actor and soul singer Isaac Hayes. After bumping into Preston (who, like Hayes and her husband, is a fervent Scientologist) Friedman said he was loudly berated for criticising Scientology in his column. "She called me a religious bigot," Friedman says.
Later, Friedman alleges, Preston orchestrated a meeting between senior Fox executives Roger Ailes and John Moody and the communications department of the Church of Scientology in an effort to have his longstanding criticisms of the church and its most prominent members reined in.
Though Friedman has yet to produce any factual evidence beyond his own recollection to back up his version of his sacking in April, he does appear to have been hard done by. The column for which he was sacked was read and approved by at least four of his superiors.
"It's outrageous that Rupert Murdoch made a decision to fire Roger after four of Roger's editors and superiors reviewed his column and found it very good," said Friedman's attorney, Martin Garbus.
"In falsely claiming Roger engaged in piracy, they attempted to destroy the reputation of a fine journalist. I've seen how Scientology intimidates even the most powerful media. That seems to be what happened here."
Asked about the specifics of Friedman's allegations, Fox News declined to comment, while an attorney for Cruise said it was "utterly false" that the actor had sought his dismissal.
Preston's lawyer, Martin Singer, said that Friedman's claim was "absurd and ridiculous".
"He was terminated just days after [his Wolverine column]. It is outrageous to try to blame my client ... on the basis of something that supposedly took place eight months earlier."
Friedman on Scientology: 'Believing in this means believing in aliens'
* "One possible theory for why the careers of Scientologists tend to go south is that the famous actors, such as Jenna Elfman or Juliette Lewis, 'get so involved in thinking only they can save the world' that the sect overwhelms them ... John Travolta has headlined a series of flops."
* "[Tom Cruise] is so consumed by Scientology at this point that he seems to have no awareness of the ridicule he's subject to ... Cruise is totally subsumed into the Hubbard world."
* "To believe in this religion means also subscribing to a belief in aliens, for one thing. And by aliens I mean creatures from other planets and galaxies ... [Looking at] the history of Scientology inventor L Ron Hubbard, one can only conclude that Cruise and Travolta share these same ideals."
* "Katie Holmes' parents must be beside themselves since their daughter joined the group."
* "Scientology is notable for recruiting stars at low points in their careers or personal lives, preying on uncertainty, instability or just plain fear by promising to fix life issues."

The audacity of violence


You can feel the tension in the air everywhere in America these early summer days.

Savings have eroded, plans for retirement have evaporated, 6.8 million Americans are out of work, and the rest of us are more uncertain about our jobs now than ever before.

Business is bad, and many familiar businesses are failing. "Inflation"? "Deflation"? I don't know. What I do know is that prices for things I buy – food, gas, utilities – are going up. One U.S. dollar in 2000 is worth 70 cents in 2009.

But it's feels worse than that, worse than a "recession."

The Obama government is changing the rules.

It's promising that the government can borrow (or print) trillions of dollars to solve problems caused by trillions of dollars of past bad debt.

It's promising that good times will return if the government takes over the banking system, gives the auto industry to the UAW, appoints a "czar" to determine how much we can be paid in our jobs, stops all drilling for oil and raises taxes to take over health care.

Beyond our shores doesn't look too good either; the bad guys are ascendant.

"Peace through strength" won the Cold War. Will "peace through apology" win the war militant Islam has declared against us?

Will the new "Why can't we all just get along?" foreign policy keep us safe from North Korea's nuclear missiles?

The tension in America has broken out in violence over the last few weeks.

Inventor claims perpetual motion invention

Bill Landon

Bill Landon, sitting in his dining room between an Edison Opera cylinder playing machine, left, an Edison Concert cylinder playing machine, right and a portrait of Thomas Edison, has patented a perpetual-motion device using magnets arrayed along the edge of a disc.

Inventor claims perpetual motion with magnet-powered motor
 

By heritage, accomplishment and spirit, Bill Landon Jr. is a quintessential Connecticut Yankee.

Mechanically adept from a young age, Landon, 72, has immersed himself in making things work. At age 8, he took electrical motors from old record players to customize his train set. Starting at age 10, he revived a decrepit Model A Ford and buggied through the woods and fields around his home.

Landon has worked as an electrical engineer for various companies, including contributions to what is now Hamilton Sundstrand's spacesuit program. He is an inventor, a fixer of antique machines, a vintner, a carpenter and designer at his historic home on the edge of Lebanon's long green.

Now Landon is waiting for a decision from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on his latest and most ambitious project — a magnet-powered motor. Such "fuel-less" motors could be used to run anything, negating the need for fuel of any kind, Landon said. The implications of his claim are huge, he acknowledged, and people will be skeptical. One of his own relatives asked how it was possible that no one had thought of such a motor before, Landon said.

What it's like to be Joseph Farah

between the lines Joseph Farah

Here I am just minding my own business and some Arab who can't spell posts the following on the White House's "Open Government Dialogue Website": "Joseph Farah is a serious U.S. domestic danger."

That's what my life is like.

I'm just here plugging away, trying to make sure the Constitution is enforced because the president won't do it, the Congress won't do it, the Supreme Court won't do it, not even the federal workers at General Motors will do it.

So, in my spare hours when I'm not busy producing the most informative news site on the Internet, I launched a campaign to pressure Barack Obama to release his birth certificate.

Honestly, I thought Bill Clinton was the pro at obfuscation, but Obama and company put him to shame. Clinton couldn't get away with questioning the meaning of the word "is." People didn't buy it. But Obama has demonstrated his ability to confuse 300 million Americans as to what constitutes a "birth certificate."

He says he has released his, and most people accept that at face value – even though almost all Americans, even those educated primarily in government schools, are familiar with what a birth certificate looks like, the information it contains and how it is prepared. They should be able to take one look at what Obama claims is his birth certificate and know right off the bat that this ain't one.

Some people are smart enough to figure this out – about 400,000 of them at last count. That's how many have signed the petition I began several months ago calling for accountability on this eligibility issue.

And, just in the last three weeks, about 2,500 people have stepped forward and put their money where their mouths are to support my billboard campaign asking the simple question, "Where's the birth certificate?"

I'm gratified that for every Arab who can't spell and thinks I'm a domestic terrorist, there are thousands of people who disagree – who think I'm right and will stand behind me even at the risk of being labeled a "birther."

Wanted: A few good conservatives to counter liberal tripe

 


My name is Miguel Diocuore. I own a conservative opinion and news forum called 'Cerrco' (that means 'around here' in Italian slang).

Cerrco for June 01, 2009

''If you marry for money, you most certainly will earn it.'' 

Date Night: $24,000+

Roy Moore for governor – and why  
Israel holds biggest civil defense drill ever 
 How North Korea could destroy U.S. for $5000
Let's celebrate Sotomayor's diversity 
Obama on track to destroy Israel
Chris Dodd's liberal balls: Priceless

 

Open season on white Americans


Sotomayor is a racist. That cannot be disputed. America has for many decades allowed, encouraged and condoned reverse racism in the work place, at educational institutions, and anywhere and everywhere the government exists in America, which is anywhere and everywhere.
Sotomayor's racism is being minimized. Why? Because she has a compelling life story? What does having a compelling life story have to do with her qualifications to sit as a justice of SCOTUS?
One day, maybe, white America, or what is left of it, will get angry enough to fight for, not privilege status in America, but for equal protection under the law, which is supposedly a constitutional right.
What needs to be discussed though, is the now widely known fact that not even one black firefighter in Connecticut was able to pass the promotion test, which was specially designed to make it easier for blacks and other minorities to pass. How is this possible?
But not to worry. Racist, affirmative action judge Sotomayor will see to it that only unqualified Americans will get promoted in America or no one will get promoted at all.
Sotomayor's self-styled "Latina wisdom" dishes out justice that can only be concocted in the mind of a corrupt, racist, affirmative action, hack judge, and her equally corrupt, racist, affirmative action sponsor: B. Hussein O.
If Sotomayor gets to sit her "wise" Latina butt on the bench of the Supreme Court, then all white people ought to draw a bulls eye on their backs because it will be open hunting season on white America under this regime.

By the way … where's the birth certificate?

I SAY: Look for the Democrats focus during confirmation to be on her Ivy League education plus how hard she worked to get there. Yes, she is a racist, she is the worst kind of racist - the half truth racist.
 

Palestinian state is symptomatic of a worldwide disease


The world’s fixation on a Palestinian state is symptomatic of a worldwide disease. Some would diagnose this disease as Jew-hatred. Others would call it stupidity. Still others would say both. Let’s focus on stupidity, which, after all, accounts for much of human history.
It would take heavy tomes to document all the stupidity evoked by the Palestinian state issue. Still, let’s enumerate some points: first, about the Arabs in question, and second, geostrategic considerations.
1) There is no Palestinian language and no Palestinian culture. The Arabs in question are part of the Sunni Arab majority of the Middle East. 2) The Arabs don’t really want a separate independent state.3) They lack the habits, the temperament, and skills required for independent and responsible statehood—as some of the following points make obvious:4) They indoctrinate their children to hate Jews and Israel.5) They train children to be jihadists.6) They have used children as human bombs.7) They elected a variety of thugs to rule over them.8) They venerate a religion whose followers have slaughtered some 270 million human beings since the time of Muhammad.
Turning to geostrategic considerations:
9) There isn’t enough room between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean for two viable states. More than two million Arabs restricted to 2,323 square miles of Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”), and another million Arabs squeezed into 141 square miles in Gaza, is a formula for economic stagnation and discontent—a cauldron of envious hatred of Israel fueled by one or another terrorist group.10) The imagined state would be a constant threat to Jordan.11) The imagined state would be split by Fatah and Hamas.12) The imagined state, consisting of a dozen rival tribes and clans from the Middle East and North Africa, would invite Iran to quell any internal disturbance.
Now, please indulge my frankness: Aren’t you tired of being reminded of the poor “Palestinians” whose charming media call for “Death to Israel” and “Death to America”?
We SAY: Aren’t you tired of hearing that the conflict in question is not a territorial conflict but an ideological conflict? This is so obvious that one might reasonably conclude that President Obama and his Middle East advisers are either Pavlovian idiots or Pavlovian Jew-hatters responding to a bell called “Israel.”

''All things in creation are both a reflection and a measure of mankind.''
-- Miguel Diocuore

Obama says he will push Senate for 'protection' for pedophiles

Barack Obama has promised the mother of Matthew Shepard fast action in the U.S. Senate to approve a "hate crimes" bill that critics say would establish the first special legal protections for pedophiles and those with an array of other sexual proclivities.

Judy Shepard, the mother of a murdered homosexual, visited the White House to lobby for H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, now residing in the Senate after approval in the House.

The White House issued an official comment on the meeting: "The President thanked Ms. Shepard for her work on the hate crimes bill and reiterated his commitment to ensuring that the Senate finalize the bill and act swiftly."

"This bill was supposed to sail through the Senate, but it suddenly has become much more controversial as a result of all these letters," one source said. "Still, not a single Republican senator has yet stood up in open, public opposition to the bill."

Last week, a Texas pastor wrote an open letter to the U.S. Senate, asking someone, anyone, to filibuster the pending "hate crimes" legislation and stop what he calls a "maddening march to the destruction of our First Amendment right to freely practice our religion."

Brown Nose Sammie

 

WHERE'S the outrage?

With all the recent ob sessing over the "rights" of terrorists in Guantanamo, and the idea that President Obama's Supreme Court nominee should support "the constitutional right to privacy," you'd expect the civil-liberties crowd to be inflamed by the federal government forcing Americans to disclose sensitive information about their finances, health and lifestyles.

You would be wrong.

Recently nearly 3 million Americans were sent the American Community Survey. An annual supplement to the decennial Census, the 28-page survey pursues obnoxious nanny-state details such as whether your home has a flush toilet, what kind of fuel you use for heat and how much you spend on everything from electricity and flood insurance to your mortgage and property taxes.

Then come the really nosy questions, ranging from your college major and your health insurance to how you spend each day at the office. The survey even asks what time you leave for work, down to the hour and minute.

It also asks whether, "because of a physical, mental or emotional condition," you have difficulty "concentrating, remembering or making decisions," "walking or climbing stairs," "doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor's office or shopping" or "dressing or bathing."

President Obama not vetted before election

Michael Steele
Michael Steele

'The press fell in love with the black man running for office'

Filling in as guest host for radio talk-show host Bill Bennett this week, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said Barack Obama was simply never vetted by the press because it fell in love with him.

"The problem that we have with this president is that we don't know him," he said. "He was not vetted, folks. … He was not vetted, because the press fell in love with the black man running for the office. 'Oh gee, wouldn't it be neat to do that? Gee, wouldn't it make all of our liberal guilt just go away? We can continue to ride around in our limousines and feel so lucky to live in an America with a black president.' Okay that's wonderful, great scenario, nice backdrop. But what does he stand for? What does he believe? … So we don't know. We just don't know."
