THE PRESIDENCY

OBAMA AND THE TINKERBELL EFFECT - If you have Tinkerbell to call on, life is pretty easy. You just make a wish, and poof -- it comes to pass. As I watched President Barack Obama (or Barry Soetoro or whatever his real name is), I was stunned by the Tinkerbell effect that surrounds him. During the speech he told seniors that he would not change Medicare. A few sentences later he said he would abolish Medicare Advantage which has millions of participants. Obama plans to "save" half a trillion in Medicare payments to pay for his "Obama-care" program, while at the same time making Medicare better. Was that distraction during his talk Tinkerbell jumping from Nancy Pelosi's shoulder to his shoulder? His 9/9/09 speech to the joint session was so full of outright fantasies it is just hard to address them all. The current state of medical care in the United States is not the real issue here; it is the liberal fantasy of creating a utopia that Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the "progressives" envision. They believe that government can provide medical care and a minimum living standard for all Americans, while shutting down "polluting" factories, ending war, and sort of peacefully merging Christianity and Islam.  

MEDICARE AS A MODEL? - During his address to Congress Barack Obama talked of using Medicare as a model. Why on earth would he say that? First of all, Medicare is going broke. It is so underfunded that there is no way to pay the benefits of even the Baby-boomer generation. Second, it is subsidized by private insurance. Medicare payout rates are so low that doctors and hospitals have to charge others more. To get a true picture of Medicare as a model, read this Wall Street Journal Online Op-ed.
 
HUCKABEE ON OBAMA - I received an e-mail from Governor Mike Huckabee on Obama's address to Congress. He had this to say: "President Obama's biggest problem is that last night, he made many clearly-stated promises that sound great - health care for all, lower costs, free colonoscopies - but that's not what Congress is about to vote on. He talked as if the process is just starting, but there's already a bill before Congress, and it's a murky, 1,018-page monstrosity, and nobody can explain for certain what it says." And there is more. There are a total of four bills that have passed House committees and another version in the Senate. Everyone of them would use federal money for abortions and/or force private insurance companies to pay for abortions contrary to the comments of Barack Obama." See Huckabee video on Obama-care
 
OBAMA AND 9-11 - I believe it was wrong for Barack Obama to hold a major address to Congress just 36 hours before the anniversary hour of the 9-11 Jihad attack on the United States. Last week I posted a Youtube video stating that this would put him in the center of the news on 9-11, rather than the victims of Islam. Sure enough, all the headlines today are about Obama-care, not the victims of 9-11. Couldn't this speech have waited one week? See my Youtube video

THE CONGRESS

CRAZY AS AN OUT HOUSE RAT? - That is how one journalist referred to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. I can't agree with him though, because I believe the situation with her is far worse than that. Nancy Pelosi is a rich white liberal who lives in a fantasy world of her own creation, and who has purchased a seat in Congress. She can afford to maintain a private home staff to take care of everything from washing her underwear to managing her wealth. Her husband is a developer who make huge sums of money from the government programs she tosses his way. She sees nothing wrong with corruption as long as the ones getting paid off are liberals like herself, who "champion the poor." The sad part of this: Nancy Pelosi is next in line after Vice President Biden to take over the presidency. Should something happen to Obama and Biden, we would have someone to the far left of Hugo Chavez in the White House, a woman who lives in a constant state of fantasy. Pray for our nation!  

WHEN SANITY RULED CONGRESS - The Journals of the Continental Congress record that on Wednesday, September 7, 1774 at 9:00 AM the Congress voted to thank Rev. Mr. Duche for the prayer he gave at the beginning of the session. This was the first official prayer in the Congress to anyone's knowledge. The text of the prayer can be read on the website of the Office of the Chaplain of the House. Click here to view.

CULTURE AND RELIGION

ACORN - A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE? - Barack Obama's first real job was as a "community organizer" for ACORN. There are currently criminal complaints against ACORN in several states. This week in Florida, fourteen ACORN employees were charged with voter fraud. Also, in Baltimore two ACORN employees instructed a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute about how to get federal aid and tax benefits while setting up a house of prostitution for underage girls. And just today, videotape was released showing ACORN staffers in Washington, DC explaining to two people how they can hide the profession of prostitution and get a loan to establish a brothel. ACORN is a criminal enterprise now, it was a criminal enterprise when Barack Obama worked for it, and it was a criminal enterprise when Republicans controlled the House and funded it. What a disgrace to our nation. See FoxNews story  

ACTRESS FIRED FOR REFUSING PRO-GAY ROLE - Patricia Mauceri was fired and abruptly replaced on "One Life to Live" after she objected to acting in a segment with a gay storyline. She said her religious beliefs and even those of the character she played would not allow her to. She was instructed to read a script that made it seem her conservative Christian character approved of homosexuality. She is not the first soap opera star to leave a show over this issue. Earlier, Chris Engen quit "The Young and the Restless" because his character, Adam, was supposed to kiss a man. The message from Hollywood is clear. If you will not accept homosexuality or play the part of a homosexual, you will not get work. New York Daily News.

SERVANT OF OBAMA

THIS IS SCARY - A large group of Hollywood stars, on video, stated: "I pledge to be a servant of our president." The pledge of the group comes at the end of the video. To get there you have to listen to the word "change" being used so many times it is sort of sickening and you just want to turn it off. I have seen lots of soviet communist and Nazi propaganda films, and this falls right into that category.

INTERNATIONAL

"A SETTLEMENT FREEZE IS STUPID" - That is what my good friend Ron Nachman, the mayor of Ariel, had to say about Barack Obama's demand that Jews stop building homes in Ariel. He blamed most of the problem on Obama's Jewish advisers who are anti-Israel, among them Rahm Emanuel. Emanuel himself attends an Orthodox Synagogue, but for some unfathomable reason promotes an anti-Israel and pro-Muslim agenda. Read the interview with Mayor Nachman PETITION TO

Remembering September 11th

Each of us will remember exactly where we were and what we were doing at the moment we heard about the Islamic Jihad attack against our nation on September 11th, just as our parents and grandparents always remembered the details of their lives on the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

On that fateful day I was on my way to Washington, DC to participate in the Sudan Peace Act press conference to be held at the Rayburn House Office Building at 10:00 a.m. that morning.

As usual on my drive from my Virginia office to my Washington, DC office, I was listening to WTOP which is a commercial all news radio station. Within two or three minutes of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center, they had a live report from a traffic helicopter in New York City. Immediately I knew that the Islamic Jihad against the United States had reached a new level of terror.

The media at first believed it was an accident, of course. I knew otherwise just because of the description of the damage. No small aircraft had hit the building and no large modern airliner would hit a skyscraper in broad daylight in good weather by accident.

I heard the New York traffic reporter as he described a second aircraft headed into tower number two of the World Trade Center and it was at that instant that I made my first call to the White House. I talked briefly to a special assistant to the President. I wanted to be the first to say, "The Jihad against America has begun."

It was just after 9:30 when I got off the phone with the White House official and was passing the Pentagon on my way into Washington. It was literally at that instant that American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the south side of the Pentagon. I never saw the airplane hit, but literally felt the explosion rattle the windows of my Jeep. I can honestly say I did not know what had happened as I saw the smoke and flames rise from the Pentagon in my driver's side outside mirror. I thought it must have been a truck bomb, since I was not willing to believe that Islamic madmen had managed to hijack more than two jets.

The irony of my personal journey that day was the cancellation of the news conference on the Sudan Peace Act. That act was written for the sole purpose of stopping the slaughter of Christians in the Sudan by its Islamic government. During the Clinton Administration the Sudanese Muslims had been given a free hand at killing Christians as had the Islamic government of Indonesia. Clinton's only foreign intervention to "save" a religious group was the bombing of Christian Yugoslavia. The destruction of Yugoslavia by Clinton led to the construction of terror bases in Europe for the first time. Without the Yugoslav army to intervene, terror cells were free to launch attacks against the West from Kosovo.

Within days of the Jihad attack , the Bush Administration was proclaiming Islam as a "religion of peace" and America's left wing media launched into a "blame America and defend Islam" politically correct agenda that amazed even me. Not a single news outlet would place the blame for the attack where it belonged ... Before the end of September, I had written and placed advertisements in major newspapers including the Washington Times, clearly showing that there was no difference between the Taliban of Afghanistan and our Saudi Arabian "allies". In fact the Saudi princes had financed Bin-Laden and his terror cells.

For my truthfulness I was ostracized in Washington for some time. I was "uninvited" to events, and individuals at the White House no longer returned my calls. But I fought on, not only in print, but on radio and TV as well, telling the truth about Islam and Saudi Arabia. While congressmen and Senators were inviting Islamic clergy to pray at official events I was pointing out that the "Prophet" Mohammed was a murderer, thief and pedophile. Bin-Laden, I said was only doing his master's bidding and his master was Mohammed.

It took a year, but the truth prevailed! Slowly but surely newspapers and other media outlets began to listen to me. Former presidential candidate Gary Bauer joined the bandwagon of truth as did Franklin Graham. Soon even the major media could not ignore the truth. In August of this year a lawsuit for $1 trillion was filed by terror victims against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and many members of the Royal family. Documents filed by the lawyers of the 9-11 victims' families show clearly that Saudi Arabia gave Osama Bin-Laden and the Taliban $300 million to attack targets other than Saudi Arabia. Further, the Saudis gave Bin-Laden and the Taliban hundreds of millions of dollars of other financial assistance and oil.

Saudi Arabia and its royal families financed the Jihad attack against the United States by paying Osama Bin-Laden not to overthrow their corrupt regime. The tide of truth is rolling over the politically correct. Not even the National Education Association (NEA) can stop the truth. The NEA has presented a "blame America" curriculum to be taught by teachers this September. The NEA suggested that teachers point to the interment of Japanese citizens during World War II and other acts of American "intolerance." The NEA's official position is that "...no one group is to blame for 9-11." The vast majority of America's teachers have rejected the NEA "guidelines" and will tell the truth about what happened on 9-11 to their students.

There is blame to every evil deed and there is plenty of blame to go around for what happened on 9-11. We can blame our politically correct leaders for refusing to follow up leads to terrorist activity for fear of being "insensitive" to Muslims. We can blame a press and educational system that equates the vile deeds of Mohammed with the peace of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The real blame in America rests in the failure of our civil and religious leaders to understand Islam. Terrible things have been done in the name of Christianity over the years, but we always had the words of Christ to return to. Some good things have been done in the name of Islam over the years, but unfortunately, men such as Osama Bin-Laden can always go back to the words of Mohammed. Mohammed was a vile murderer and a thief. The first massacre of Jews was conducted by him personally at Medina in the year 627. Yasser Arafat, in sending out his suicide bombers, is faithfully following Islam and the words of Mohammed. Arafat, Bin-Laden and Mohammed are one.

The great "Fatah" (military conquest for Islam) is upon us. It is the fourth great expansion of Islam. If we fail to realize this and do not stop the conquest militarily as was done to end the first three great Fatahs, our children and grandchildren will live as slaves to Mohammed.

What does the next year bring us, the next ten years? More violence against Christians by Islamic governments; more terror attacks in the name of Islamic Jihad; more Jewish and Christian children killed by suicide bombers and even more lies from Islamic leaders.

Muslims have no fear of lying. In the Washington Times, Faiz Rehman of the American Muslim Council had the gall to claim last month that 16% of those killed on 9-11 were Muslims. He claims that 500 of the 3,000 killed were Islamic and that America has a debt to Islam. American newspapers have printed this lie without challenge.

What is our defense? Truth rather than political correctness is our only defense. We need leaders who will tell the truth about Islam, tell the truth about Islamic nations, and tell the truth about the reality of Islam in America. We need leaders who are willing to take action against those who attack us and that includes those like the Saudis who finance the terror. Until then America will have no security and our families and descendants will be at risk.

Obama's Disrespect for 9-11

Announcing an address to a joint session of Congress on September 9, 2009 shows a total lack of respect by President Barack Obama for those who perished on 9-11. On the 10th and 11th it will now be Barrack Obama who is the center of attention of the media and not the victims of 9-11. Picking this date for a joint session was either out of ignorance by his staff or a deliberate attempt to have Americans forget a true date of infamy.
