Ramping up the welfare state

Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Saturday, November 07, 2009 3:35:44 PM

Ramping up the welfare state


''We rejected “Hillary Care” in the 1990’s. We must again reject the latest liberal invasion of marriage and look to “Marriage Values” policies provably beneficial to everyone – especially women and children.''

Feminists have exercised nearly unfettered control of Congress’s social policy philosophy since the creation of the Great Society. That arrangement, designed to help a few women in trouble, evolved into an industry executing the feminist goal of destroying marriage. The ever-escalating demands to entitle non-marriage and out-of-wedlock procreation never end.
Welfare state expansions have eviscerated the function of marriage. Marriage naturally guarantees women the economic support and domestic assistance of their husbands. The feminist Oleanna is truly a nightmare burdening women with “doing it all”, earning a living, raising the children, doing the laundry, and everything else around the household.
Welfare-state expansions brought on an explosion of divorce and illegitimacy only justifying another round of welfare-state expansions. Today, the welfare state costs approximately 1-trillion annually, nearly the size of the projected federal deficit, with no end in sight.
Democrats now hope to double the size of the welfare state by adding health care to their long list of entitlements. Feminists hope to expand the destruction of marriage by dragging the medical profession, businesses, and taxpayers into the grandest expansion the Great Society has ever proposed. http://www.newswithviews.com/Usher/david189.htm

Teaching kids to use drugs

Teaching kids to use drugs


Arousing Curiosity and Suggesting Experimentation
''Forbid as little as possible, for to forbid is to suggest the thing forbidden. -J. L. Spalding''
It should have been no surprise to anyone when drug education courses served only to arouse curiosity and promote experimentation on the part of children exposed to them. You don't discuss a subject day-in and day-out if you want children to stop thinking about it.
To this day if I try to explain the danger of drug education courses to those who are lamenting the "drug problem," the majority will respond with nothing but a dumb smile. Then they will anxiously try to change the subject. Why do so many people want to evade the truth? Were they among the experimenters of the '70s?
Perhaps there is someone reading this now who does want to know what happened and is happening to the children. For you, I am going to reveal the stupid ideas and programs that were sold to parents as attempts to solve the "drug problem" nearly forty years ago. I recorded my experiences in several "Truth In Education" columns between 1973 and 1976. http://www.newswithviews.com/Erica/Carle162.htm

Armed Christians

Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Saturday, November 07, 2009 10:33:50 AM

Armed Christians


''The apostles were armed men, but they were also men of peace. They were “gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.” They supported the weak, patient toward all men, with “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, [of] faith,” but they were armed.''

Does a modern Christian have a right to self defense? With every right there is a correlative responsibility. The ancient right to bear arms has been described in antiquity as the obligation to bear arms in defense of your community. In those ancient times if you would not arm yourself to defend your community you were often shunned if not run out of town all together.
Chuck Baldwin in an article published by NewsWithViews.com quoted the statistic that “as of 2004, 50% of the adults in the United States own one or more firearms.” My first reaction was, why so few? As someone who once wore a badge and a gun to protect the property and lives of citizens I can testify that my biggest disappointment was the apathy and even cowardice of the people I was often expected to protect.
To refuse to come to the aid of others has been considered a crime and good Samaritan laws have prosecuted citizens who failed to assist and aid people in need of assistance or protection.
Yet, I have heard many people say they would not own a gun or they did not believe in guns. On further inquiry everyone of these purveyors of pseudo-pacifism confirmed that if someone was breaking into their house they would call the police, who will come with guns. The truth is they do believe in guns, but they are either too lazy, too cheap, too cowardly, or just too irresponsible to own one. http://www.newswithviews.com/Gregory/williams109.htm

2 ways to spur a Republican renaissance

Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Saturday, November 07, 2009 10:33:03 AM

2 ways to spur a Republican renaissance


''Those who don't appreciate the importance of the social agenda should consider that when Reagan was elected in 1980, 18 percent of American babies were born to unwed mothers. Today it is 40 percent. This kind of family disintegration is incompatible with a free and functioning society.''

RNC Chairman Michael Steele and the New York Yankees can look back on a good week. Maybe Steele deserves extra credit.
No one was writing obituaries a year ago for the Yankees as was the case for the Republican Party.
Now we have a different picture. Borrowing from the words of Mark Twain, reports of the death of the Republican Party were greatly exaggerated.
The operative question today for Mr. Steele and his party, in the wake of winning governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, both Obama states in 2008, is "Now what?"
Will voter discontent that led to these Republican victories be parlayed into a genuine Republican renaissance?
As independent voters move away from Democrats and lean back toward Republicans, which is what happened in Virginia and New Jersey, and what polling over the year has shown to be happening nationwide, will Republicans build a solid new tent?
Will they rebuild their party with values critical for restoring a sick nation to health?
In order to genuinely rebuild, Republicans must successfully take on two big challenges – one internal and one external.
It's not too late to rescue the nation! Read how in "Save America Now! The New Revolution to Save Freedom and Liberty"
First, a notion that has divided the party – that free-market economics and the social "values" agenda are separate cards to be played – must be purged. The more libertarian stream – Republicans whose principal concerns are limited government, low taxes and free markets – have viewed Christian social conservatism as dead weight in the party. This is a mistake. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115241

Responding to modern Marxism

Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Saturday, November 07, 2009 10:32:19 AM

Responding to modern Marxism


''When asked by a reporter to identify the constitutional authority for the current health-care bills, Sen. Patrick Leahy said: "We have plenty of authority, why would you say we don't have authority?" Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reply to the same question was: "Are you serious? Are you serious?" Obviously, neither one is "preserving, protecting or defending" the Constitution when they ignore its limitation of congressional power.''
The first unmistakable tremors were recorded on April 15. The earth shook again throughout the month of August, when politicians returned home to face their constituents. Those brave souls who dared to hold a town hall meeting were met with enthusiastic questions about cap-and-trade, about the stimulus, about health care and about what appears to be a mad rush to socialism.
Despite efforts by the White House and the media to downplay the significance of these events and to denigrate the people who participated in them, another tremendous tremor rolled across Washington on Sept. 12. More than a million people – by most estimates – filled the street from Freedom Square to the Capitol. They were not there to worship Obama; they were there to bury his policies.
Tuesday's elections sent a plume of political fallout across the nation. Obama invested heavily in the incumbent New Jersey governor – who was soundly defeated by a conservative Republican. A parade of Democrat dignitaries campaigned for the governor's office in Virginia; the more conservative Republican won by a landslide.
The only Democrat victory was in New York's District 23 where it took both the Democrat and liberal Republican candidate, who withdrew from the race to endorse the Democrat, to narrowly defeat a conservative independent. Conservatism also prevailed in Maine, where the voters rejected same-sex marriage.
She took the nation by storm in 2008 and could be the best hope for the future of the GOP. Get Sarah Palin's best-seller, "Going Rogue: An American Life"
Denial is not that river in Egypt. It seems to be a river that begins in the White House and flows freely through the Democrat Party and the media. The rest of the nation seems to be encouraged by the prospects of reining in the runaway policies Obama's majority is trying to impose. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115242

Stopping the next alien amnesty is not enough

Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Saturday, November 07, 2009 8:53:38 AM

Stopping the next alien amnesty is not enough


''To end the stealth amnesty of current law, we need three things at a minimum: true border security, mandatory verification of employment eligibility through the E-Verify program and the end to "anchor baby" citizenship for children of illegal aliens.''

If you think a congressional amnesty for 15 million illegal aliens is a bad idea, think about a stealth amnesty for 50 million. That's what we've got now even without any new legislation from the 111th Congress.
Whether or not Obama pushes for the new amnesty – which will again be packaged as "comprehensive immigration reform" as it was in 2006 and 2007 – proponents of border security and immigration control need to look beyond that battle. We need a strategy to end the stealth amnesty created through non-enforcement of our immigration laws.
Non-enforcement is the policy of our federal government on our borders, in our employment laws, in our courtrooms and in our school buildings. Non-enforcement allows at least 2 million illegal aliens to join our society each year – a million coming across our open borders and at least another million coming on tourist visas, student visas and guest worker visas, and then never going home. Those people are called "visa overstays," and the number is at least 20 million and growing daily.
Non-enforcement of our immigration laws needs to be called by its correct name, stealth amnesty, and it needs to be confronted. Stopping a new legislative amnesty is vital, but that does not begin to deal with the ongoing, continuous amnesty-by-stealth that is now the official policy of the federal government – and many state and local governments as well.
The Border Patrol trumpets the fact that official apprehension numbers on the border are down for the third straight year from the high of 1.1 million in 2005. That's a good thing, but those numbers do not tell the whole story. Apprehension numbers are down in part because Border Patrol manpower has been doubled to 18,500 since 2001, and 350 miles of border fencing has been built. So, why has he Obama administration put a freeze on new fence construction and a halt to Border Patrol recruitment?
Concerned about the unstemmed flow of illegal aliens over our border? Don't miss Tom Tancredo's book, "In Mortal Danger: The Battle for America's Border and Security"
Time magazine concluded in its September 2006 cover story on cross-border traffic that three to four times as many intruders evade the Border Patrol as are apprehended. Other independent observers have come to similar conclusions. So, if the Border Patrol stopped 750,000 people in 2008, probably 2.5 million made it across the border successfully. Is that acceptable level of border security? http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115252

Stonewall transparency

Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Saturday, November 07, 2009 8:52:57 AM

Stonewall transparency


''...the issue that makes his notorious promise of "transparency" seem so hollow – and false – is his steadfast refusal to provide to the public who deserves and wants it an actual copy of his birth certificate! Not the "certification of live birth" that has been produced and accepted by a strangely gullible and meek Congress.'' Let's see. I seem to remember a declarative, emphatic promise from candidate Barack Obama, something about "a new transparency in government."
Yes, and a resounding, fervent promise by the newly elected President Obama: "My administration will bring a new transparency in our governance."
That sounded so good, didn't it?
Over the last several decades, the American people have become very angry about the many ways elected representatives have created to feather their own nests, curry favor with special-interest groups and, worst of all, enact legislation that restricts traditional freedoms – without consulting with the people who elected them.
Candidate Obama, and the people who were composing his speeches, showed sensitivity to the simmering furor over "earmarks," giant slabs of "pork" added to appropriations and other bills in Congress. Elected politicians have used this sneaky, rotten process for many years; into a multi-billion-dollar bill these scoundrels salt their own local, self-serving, pet projects – often without their names attached – correctly assuming that a few million dollars here or there won't be noticed, and they'll be heroes to their constituents back home. All at the expense of unsuspecting, unknowing taxpayers. You and me.
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens sneaks in an appropriation of $140 million for a "bridge to nowhere." Pennsylvania's Rep. Jack Murtha saddles us with a new airport facility in his district, costing millions, to accommodate two or three flights a day – between Washington and his district. Candidate Obama swore that he'd veto any of these porky earmarks that found their way into any bill that crossed his desk.
Now watch the red-hot eligibility story on DVD: "A Question of Eligibility: Is Obama's presidency constitutionally legitimate?"
His promise of accountability – of transparency – of responsibility to the voting taxpayers sounded so great. He was elected by voters who believed his words. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115265

Muslim radicals call Hasan 'Officer and a Gentleman'

Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Saturday, November 07, 2009 8:52:10 AM

Muslim radicals call Hasan 'Officer and a Gentleman'


"We pray that we may witness the dismantlement of western, secular dominance across the world as we hold it to be pagan and idolatrous in the majority of its presumptions. We seek a resurrection of the just example set forth by centuries of Islamic rule throughout the ages and we hold it to be self evident for the objective soul and mind that Allah is One and that Muhammad ibn Abdullah is His Prophet and that the religion offers the solution to all of the world’s ills and afflictions."
A website run by radical Muslims today honored Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the man accused of killing 13 people at Ford Hood in Texas, as an "Officer and a Gentleman," saying his actions should not be denounced.
The massacre yesterday, which also left more than two dozen injured, was called a "pre-emptive attack" by supporters of the Revolution Muslim website.
Hasan, a Muslim psychiatrist who reportedly had been disciplined for pushing Islam on his patients at one point in his career, had given away his furniture and handed out Qurans before going to the military base and firing on soldiers at a processing center where soldiers prepared to deploy.
Why the left loves tyrants, terrorists – $4.95 today only! Save $21 on Jamie Glazov's acclaimed exposé 'United in Hate'
There were multiple reports he had objected to being placed in the position of possibly having to fight fellow Muslims by his scheduled deployment to the Middle East. "Get Well Soon Major Nidal We Love You," said the website run by radicals who follow an imam once jailed in Britain. "Major Nidal Hasan M.D. An officer and a gentleman was injured while partaking in a pre-emptive attack."
The website lists as its imam Sheik Abdullah el-Faisal, who in February 2003 was sentenced to nine years in jail, reduced to seven on appeal, after being convicted of soliciting murder and inciting racial hatred in England.

    President Obama is now a victim of candidate Obama

    Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Friday, November 06, 2009 5:55:16 PM

    President Obama is now a victim of candidate Obama


    ''Young voters and African-Americans who came out in record numbers in 2008 stayed home in 2009. What will cause them to rally to endangered Democrats in 2010, after they have endured another year of what they are enduring now?''

    For the blue dogs, Tuesday was a fire bell in the night.
    Virginia Republicans led by Robert McDonnell crushed the most conservative Democrat nominee in decades, rolling up a victory that rivaled Ronald Reagan's rout of Walter Mondale.
    New Jersey GOP nominee Chris Christie, whose campaign had been the despair of its backers, won a 5-point victory over Jon Corzine, despite huge Democratic advantages in money and voter registration, two visits by Barack Obama and the presence on the ballot of a third-party candidate who took votes away from Christie.
    Maine has gone Democratic in five straight presidential elections. Yet voters overturned a gay-marriage state     law, 53-47, the 31st straight victory for traditionalists. This replicates California's rejection of gay marriage, 52-48, in a year Obama carried the state by 24 points and 3 million votes.
    Democrats see green shoots in the capture of New York's 23rd Congressional District, which has been Republican since Ulysses Grant. Yet, even here, the conservative showing was impressive.
    GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava is a fellow     traveler of the Albany crowd of Gov. David Paterson. She is pro-choice, pro-gay-marriage, pro-"card-check" – a euphemism for eliminating the secret ballot for workers deciding on whether they want a union.
    Disgusted with a choice between liberals, the Conservative Party put up Douglas Hoffman. While he did not live in the district, his views did reflect the district's views.
    She took the nation by storm in 2008 and could be the best hope for the future of the GOP. Get Sarah Palin's best-seller, "Going Rogue: An American Life"
    Hoffman was going nowhere, however, until the tea-party and town-hall activists and Club for Growth sent contributions and troops. Hoffman got ignition when Sarah Palin joined Fred Thompson in endorsing him. He began a rapid ascent from last to first, dumping Dede into third place. When Dede fell to 20 percent, the weekend before the election, she dropped out and endorsed Democrat Bill Owens, who won.
    Nevertheless, Hoffman had come, in a month, from nowhere to knock a liberal Republican out of the lead and out of the race and out of the party, and closed to within two points of taking the seat.     http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115188

    Southern rubes aren't racists after all

    Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Friday, November 06, 2009 5:54:35 PM

    Southern rubes aren't racists after all


    "Instead of focusing on [the] intense ideological divisions, the press and elites continue to look for a racial element that drives these voters' beliefs – but they need to get over it. Conducted on the heels of Joe Wilson's incendiary comments at the president's joint session address, we gave these groups of older, white Republican base voters in Georgia full opportunity to bring race into their discussion – but it did not ever become a central element, and indeed, was almost beside the point." Blanket charges of racism have become the stock-in-trade
    of the liberal media in reporting on town-hall protesters. For converging to petition their representatives about the administration's profligate policies, independent-minded, patriotic constitutionalists have been savaged by rabid reporters who see signs of the divine in Obama and the devil in his detractors.
    One apropos sign at a tea party captured this state of affairs: "It doesn't matter what my sign says, the press will call it racist."
    In fairness, members of the media are more inclusive in their reprimands about racial exclusion. The general, (alleged) racial backwardness of the American people is a repeated refrain in the popular press. This nonstop, relentless propaganda, enforced by the tyranny of political correctness, helps explain why most Americans – who themselves harbor no racial animus, and, if anything, are remarkably naïve about human differences, cultural or racial – believe racism saturates their society.
    It is one thing for a starlet like Janeane Garofalo to defame tea party attendees as "a bunch of teabagging rednecks," and accuse men and women she knows nothing about "hating a black man in the White     House" and harboring unadulterated racism. It's quite another matter for cable-network anchors to parrot the loopy lady's lines.
    Nevertheless, ape they did.
    So it was that thought-crime investigator Keith Olbermann broke news on his MSNBC nightly show. With his most solemn, commissar-like countenance, Keith informed his viewers, matter-of-factly, that the intensity of the animosity toward Barack Obama is based on his being a black man.
    Instead of arguing their "case" with reference to facts and reason, Keith and company chose to impugn their disputants based on assumptions about their motives. Still worse, this balderdash, framed as breaking-news, was bolstered by another logical fallacy: an argument from authority.
    The feeble-minded Jimmy Carter had seconded Garofalo the histrion. By Keith's journalistic standards, this was all the proof he needed to pronounce the libel true and use the pejorative liberally.     http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115150

    The Commies never went away

    Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Friday, November 06, 2009 5:53:57 PM

    The Commies never went away


    ''Health care and Environmentalism are multi Trillion dollar industries that create the regulations, taxation and controls to reign in the population and seize what is left of our freedoms. You wonder what happened to the teeth and vision of the old communist party? You are watching it tighten around your neck as we speak.''

    We have been battling the same old nightmare that continues to morph into cause after cause and shape after shape. Many of you thought we had beat Communism when Ronald Reagan said “Gentlemen tear down that wall” and Communist Russia disbanded. Sadly, it oozed into other bodies. A lot of you don’t know it but the rope is already tightening around your little necks. Even worse, many of you support your own strangulation because you have bought the enemy’s strategy that makes the murder feel like a massage until it is too late. I see red marks on our necks. We had better wake up.
    Communism and Government control today hides behind contrived international emergencies and causes that seduce you in. One of the biggest, most distorted and lied about international emergencies is global warming and its relatives…the greens…. carbon emissions concerns, cap and trade and the push to sign international environmental treaties….ala Copenhagen coming up. There are only 3 things I can honestly say about the environmental movement. LIE! LIE! LIE!
    This President and administration know the lies behind all this and they could give a flying piece of rubbish because they also know most of us are too busy to care. We are too busy to research real science and find out this is total fraud. In truth, environmentalists could care less about trees, polar bears and climate. They only care about controlling you, what you eat, drink, buy and sell, while convincing you to give them money. What do you think this nightmare lie of Cap and Trade is about? It is designed to support the unholy trinity of regulation, taxation and litigation as it collects your money. You know, it’s an international emergency so many of you actually feel great about paying in. You are helping to save the troubled planet.     http://www.newswithviews.com/Roth/laurie188.htm

    Redistributing whose wealth?

    Posted by Miguel Diocuore Ph.D. on Friday, November 06, 2009 3:43:41 PM

    Redistributing whose wealth?


    ''Well, the way I see it, redistributing one's own wealth is called charity. Redistributing other people's, when done by the government, is totalitarianism. When perpetrated by an individual, such as Jesse James, Willie Sutton or Bernard Madoff, it's called a felony.''

    For some peculiar reason, America's left-wingers object to being called socialists. In fact, we have only one member of Congress, Vermont's Bernie Sanders, who has the gumption to admit he is one. Still, so far as I can tell, he's no more socialistic than any of the other leftist pinheads in Washington. I mean, the truth is, Henry Waxman, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel, Brad Sherman, Barbara Lee and all the rest of that silly crowd vote exactly the same as Sanders, so why aren't they equally honest about their true identities?
    Instead, they walk around like a bunch of mild-mannered Clark Kents, but as soon as a vote is called, they rush off to the nearest phone booth and emerge wearing a cape and little booties, just in time to vote for Obamacare, trillion-dollar stimulus packages and cap-and-    trade.
    What is even more disturbing is that it's not just the liberal media that denies the obvious fact that the "S" on Barack Obama's own     chest stands for socialist. I keep hearing such people as Bill O'Reilly and Michael Medved taking members of their audience to task for even suggesting such a thing. I'm sorry, folks, but the emperor is not only naked as a jaybird, but he's a bigger left-wing dingbat than Hugo Chavez.
    Tired of keeping quiet about increasing government control? Express yourself with the magnetic message: "No Hope in Socialism"
    Let us not forget that Obama was the presidential candidate who told Joe the     Plumber that redistributing wealth was a good thing. Lest anyone think that was a one-time slip of the tongue, it was also Obama who announced that the terrible failing of the Constitution, the Supreme Court and even the civil rights movement was that none of them ever promoted the redistribution of wealth. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115129
