  • Negro on the Census? Negro on the Census?

    • From: pLOp25
    • Description:

      Here we go again. It seems some black people are not liking the word Negro on the 2010 Census. What next from this group of constant complainers. Quannel X a member of the New Black Panther Movement is upset and stated that Negro is an abbreviation for that dreaded N word. Although over 55,000 blacks chose the box next to Negro in the 2000 census when it also offered Black and Afro-American choices, now it hurts their feelings. As a Swedish, German, Canadian – American I couldn’t give a rats @$$. I am an AMERICAN!! Enough already!! Become Americans like every other race!!!

      N.C. Schools: Those Who Erase History

      By William A. Wilson

      It is one thing to forget, ignore or misinterpret our nation’s history, but a group of uber-liberal educrats in North Carolina is taking the radical revisionism of America one step further. These politically-correct, taxpayer-funded “thought police” are actually trying to erase American history from our children’s textbooks.

      What do they want to replace it with? Radical environmental propaganda from left-wing extremists who view American liberties as obstacles to overcome, not safeguards to be defended.

      In perhaps the most glaring example to date of our government’s descent into socialist madness, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction is attempting to remove all American history prior to 1877 from its textbooks, replacing it with a “global studies” curriculum.

      Rather than learning about George Washington crossing the Delaware or Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves (while studying from documents like the Declaration of Independence or the Emancipation Proclamation), high school students in North Carolina would instead be indoctrinated with more multicultural rhetoric and the fuzzy science of climate change (while studying form the Koran and the “Copenhagen Accord”).

      This sort of raw indoctrination is worse than misguided – it’s treasonous.

      If this new anti-American curriculum is adopted, American children would no longer learn about the principles on which this nation was established – and the blood that was shed in defense of those principles – they would instead be spoon-fed Obama administration talking points on how intolerant, imperialist America owes a huge financial debt to the rest of the world, one that we can start repaying immediately by helping developing nations “combat global warming.”

      “What we are trying to do is figure out a way to teach (history) where students are connected to it, where they see the big idea, where they are able to make connections and draw relationships between parts of our history and the present day,” the chief academic officer for North Carolina’s school system told FOX News.

      What rubbish. These government censors are trying to rewrite history, pure and simple.

      By removing the entire first century of American history from our children’s textbooks, these radicals are doing more than just putting a “liberal spin” on things – they are trying to fundamentally alter the world view of future generations of U.S. citizens. They are trying to rip out American democracy by its roots and replace it with what Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer has dubbed the “New Socialism,” the exploitation of climate-based fear-mongering as a means to facilitate a massive wealth transfer from American taxpayers to third-world governments, many of which are hostile to the United States.

      Joseph Goebbels would no doubt be proud of such a curriculum – and the objective behind it.

      Unable to convince the “America of today” to blindly follow Obama’s socialist vision, these “Green Nazis” are endeavoring to create an “America of tomorrow” that is more receptive to their agenda – even as the scientific case for climate change continues to crumble all around them.

      This attempted indoctrination must not stand. Not only must this so-called curriculum be rejected, but the educrats pushing it must be dismissed and never allowed near our children again.

      An abiding respect and appreciation for America’s bedrock freedoms and founding wisdom are the only things currently keeping these socialist hordes from overrunning this county – which is no doubt why they are now being targeted.

      America was founded on a set of fundamental principles – a core collection of “self-evident” truths that forms the basis of who we are as a people. We cannot allow those truths to be erased – or those principles to be discarded – for anything, least of all the latest liberal zeitgeist.

    • From: RightAway
    • Description:

      1. Wear a Che T-shirt or one that promotes a tyranical mass murderer. It’s really cool and hip.

      2. Very smugly tell everyone, especially those older then you, that they just sound so naive and just so don't understand.

      3. Always respond with “it’s very complicated” when you have no clue what you are talking about (which will be all the time).

      4. At all times, no matter what and despite what ever the conversation is, call everyone you can a racist, a homophobe and, insult America while you are at it.

      5. Laugh very arrogantly and say “Christians actually believe in creationism”.

      6. Convince yourself that guns are evil, and not the evil gun holder (who had a really really bad childhood with self esteem issues).

      7. Call your old-fashioned grandparents racist teabaggers who are stuck in the past (but do it with some respect).

      8. Learn to say “bi partisan” in every breath but stab everyone in the back as much as you can.

      9. Learn to hate and insult 24/7 the evil white rich, job providing corporations, Limbaugh, Hannity,  Beck, Fox, conservatives, Bush/Cheney and religion. This is a must!

      10. Learn to despise all the money that you work for everyday (if you in fact work) trying to obtain in mass quantities and never, ever donate to anything unless it is your verbal support, or, if it benefits other liberal folk.

      Make it 11. Always promote the beauty of pot smoking: it enhances music, the senses, sex,  etc. "know what I mean man?"

      "Don't Squat With Yer Spurs On

      There's more ways to skin a cat than stickin' his head in a boot jack and jerkin' on his tail.

      Never ask a man the size of his spread.

      Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.

      After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: when you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

      If you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

      Never smack a man who's chewin' tobacco.

      It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.

      When dealin' with a slick son of a b...., start off by pinnin' him down and changin' his oil.

      Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.

      Never follow good whiskey with water, unless you're out of good whiskey.

      If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

      Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.

      Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.

      Always drink upstream from the herd.

      Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly.

      If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

      When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be suprised if they learn their lesson.

      The best way to have a quiche for dinner is to make it up and put it in the oven to bake at 325 degrees. Meanwhile, get out a large T-bone, grill it, and when it's done, eat it. As for the quiche, continue to let it bake, but otherwise ignore it.

      There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.

      When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else.

      Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back.

      Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was.

      The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.

      A smart ass just don't fit in a saddle.

      Never miss a good chance to shutup.

      Super Bowl ad for the Census -- a fine use of taxpayer money

      "The U.S. Census Bureau ... squander[ed] $2.5 million on a half-minute Super Bowl ad starring D-list celebrity Ed Begley Jr., plus two pre-game blurbs and 12-second 'vignettes' featuring Super Bowl anchor James Brown. It's a drop in the census boondoggle bucket (otherwise known as the tax-subsidized National Democratic Future Voter Outreach Drive). The Obama White House has allocated a total of $340 million toward an 'unprecedented' promotional blitz for the 2010 census. That's on top of $1 billion in stimulus money siphoned off for increased census 'public outreach' and staffing. In all, the census will triple its total 2000 budget to $15 billion. Ads pimping the census have already appeared during the Golden Globe awards and will broadcast during the Daytona 500 and NCAA Final Four championships. Some $80 million will be poured into multilingual ads in 28 languages from Arabic to Yiddish. Racial and ethnic groups have been squabbling over their share of the pie. The U.S. census is a decennial census mandated by our Constitution. Should Americans know about it? Sure. Should the P.R. budget become a bottomless slush fund in recessionary times? Surely not." --columnist Michelle Malkin

      Government

      "Last month, Obama announced a new set of tax credits for so-called green companies. One window company was on the list: Serious Materials. This must be one very special company. But wait, it gets even more interesting. On my Fox Business Network show on 'crony capitalism', I displayed a picture of administration officials and so-called 'energy leaders' taken at the U.S. Department of Energy. Standing front and center was Cathy Zoi, who oversees $16.8 billion in stimulus funds, much of it for weatherization programs that benefit Serious. The interesting twist is that Zoi happens to be the wife of Robin Roy, who happens to be vice president of 'policy' at Serious Windows. Of all the window companies in America, maybe it's a coincidence that the one which gets presidential and vice presidential attention and a special tax credit is one whose company executives give thousands of dollars to the Obama campaign and where the policy officer spends nights at home with the Energy Department's weatherization boss. Or maybe not. ... On its website, Serious Materials says it did not get a taxpayer subsidy. But that's just playing with terms. What it got was a tax credit, an opportunity that its competitors did not get: to keep money it would have paid in taxes. Let's not be misled. Government is as manipulative with selective tax credits as it is with cash subsidies. It would be more efficient to cut taxes across the board. Why should there be favoritism? Because politicians like it. Big, complicated government gives them opportunities to do favors for their friends." --columnist John Stossel

      AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD ANY MORE OF YOUR OWN.

       

      Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

      My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60. Now he's 97 years old, and we don't have the slightest clue where in the hell he is.
        

      I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
        
      The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again      .
        

      I have to walk early in the morning,  before my brain figures out what I'm doing..
        
      I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 dollars, and I haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.
        
      Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate..
        

      I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

      The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say,
      'Well, he/she looks good doesn't they.'
        

      If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.
        
      I know I have gotten a whole lot of exercise in the last few years, just trying to get over the hill.

      We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
        
         AND

      Every time I start worrying too much about how I look, I just find a Happy Hour and by the time I leave, I look just fine.

      FBI wants to know where you've been on the web

      Rick Moran (The American Thinker)

      I guess it had to happen eventually. The FBI wants the authority to order internet service providers to keep customer surfing records for up to two years.

      It's "for the children" of course. They say it will be easier to find and track child porn users. Never mind that your surfing history will also tell the feds whether you're a Republican or Democrat, or who your friends are, or what you really think about Obama.

      Declan McCullagh of CNET has the details:

      As far back as a 2006 speech, Mueller had called for data retention on the part of Internet providers, and emphasized the point two years later when explicitly asking Congress to enact a law making it mandatory. But it had not been clear before that the FBI was asking companies to begin to keep logs of what Web sites are visited, which few if any currently do.

      The FBI is not alone in renewing its push for data retention. As CNET reported earlier this week, a survey of state computer crime investigators found them to be nearly unanimous in supporting the idea. Matt Dunn, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in the Department of Homeland Security, also expressed support for the idea during the task force meeting.

      Greg Motta, the chief of the FBI's digital evidence section, said that the bureau was trying to preserve its existing ability to conduct criminal investigations. Federal regulations in place since at least 1986 require phone companies that offer toll service to "retain for a period of 18 months" records including "the name, address, and telephone number of the caller, telephone number called, date, time and length of the call."

      At Thursday's meeting (PDF) of the Online Safety and Technology Working Group, which was created by Congress and organized by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Motta stressed that the bureau was not asking that content data, such as the text of e-mail messages, be retained.

      By all means, give the FBI everything they need - within reason - to conduct criminal investigations. But tracking an individual's website history is pretty far over the line. Anytime the potential for abuse outweighs any possible gains, such an idea should be deep sixed.

      Over the next decade, we will have to fight very hard to keep the internet from falling into the hands of statists who would use it to oppress us. The UN will try to take it over. The US government will try to tax it, and perhaps even level a charge for email. Other nations like China will continue to restrict freedom on the net.

      All must be resisted if this last, true bastion of unfettered personal liberty and expression is to remain in the hands of the people.

  • TREASON TRIAL AGAINST OBAMA TREASON TRIAL AGAINST OBAMA

      INTERESTING CLIP DR. JAMES DAVID MANNING TAKING THE UNIVERSITY OF COLUMBIA TO COURT MAY 2010..

      Monday, January 11, 2010


      Pastor James David Manning, one of President Obama’s most vocal and outspoken critics, has just released a video yesterday in which he is charging Columbia University with treason and is taking them to court. Pastor Manning alleges that Obama never went to the school and that he actually bought the degree. Pastor Manning states that Obama was instead in Afghanistan during the period of time from 1981 to 1983, working for Al Qaeda, when Obama was supposedly attending Columbia.

      Most of what we know about Barack Obama comes from Chicago corruption trial transcripts, Illinois records such as the IL bar, internet data that has not yet been scrubbed and his autobiography, Dream of My Father. But, Obama has kept hidden most of the records of his life. As noted by websites like World Net Daily, other documentation not yet available includes Obama's kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, his adoption records and ,of course, his Birth Certificate.

      Obama certainly has some connection to Columbia University. Obama was given a diploma and grades from Columbia sufficient to allow him to enter Harvard. However, since Obama has employed many private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records, we have no proof of his grades or even his attendance and graduation. In Fact, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students, back in 2008, from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.

      CBS News lays off 200. Katie Couric says “Let them eat cake.”

      February 6, 2010, 1:30 am · 

      <embed />

      When one is the anchorette of a struggling newscast, one cannot be bothered with the travails of the little people.

      That’s why Katie Couric did a Harper’s Bazaar photo shoot bedecked in diamonds while 200 her minions at CBS News were being laid off.

      Ahhh, the life of luxury as reported by Harper’s Bazaar:

      Today, three weeks shy of 53, Couric looks tomboy terrific, that barely-made-up face betraying zero surgical workmanship, the fabled legs making those giant strides for women in black leather riding boots. She’s been sitting here in her office, with its gentle lighting and creamy beauty-salon palette, answering e-mails and working up a 60 Minutes profile of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, trying to get Rahm and his brothers, Hollywood talent agent Ari and bioethicist Zeke, into the same room together, mix-mastering impossible schedules, herding egos.

      …

      She’s still rocking a young look, thanks to tennis once a week, Spinning, yoga, Pilates. She’s a little bored with Pilates, which she started up three years ago to help calm her back. Like most of American womanhood, she wouldn’t mind if she were taller, with thinner thighs. She doesn’t deny she believes in Botox: “I think if you want to do some tweaks here and there, there’s nothing wrong with that.” High-definition television has been kind to her, she says. “I think the fear factor of high def was overblown,” she says, but adds, “I think God has a wonderful way of making your eyes start to go as your face does. I really can’t see very well. Up close? Like in the mirror?” She giggles drily. “I always worry after I’ve done my makeup that I’m gonna look like What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?”

      Katie makes $15,000,000 per year. The 200 people being laid off make an average of $75,000 per year, which is equal to…you guessed it…$15,000,000.

      Katie better hope they didn’t lay off the guys in charge of make-up and soft lighting.

      AP Photo

      Actually, Senator Lincoln dissed his lack of payroll skills, during the Obama and Senate Democrats question time the other day. Oh, Snap!

      She also took a swipe at Obama’s White House, referencing a constituent who “fears that there’s no one in your administration that understands what it means to go to work on Monday and make a payroll on Friday.“

      Of course, she’s likely only finally getting a bit of the old “Oh, Snap” because she’s facing a fierce re-election battle. Still, it made me giggle madly. And she’s correct. Obama has little real world experience and he has surrounded himself with others who are lacking in that area as well. They can read fancy books and stuff, but that’s about all. It’s all theory; they’ve never actually put anything into practice.

      Obama’s response to Senator Lincoln:

      Obama responded by defending steps his administration has taken to right the economy and said “Moving forward, Blanche, what you’re going to hear from some folks…[is that] the only way to provide stability is to go back and do what we did before the crisis.”

      The president reiterated that he would not return to past policies.

      “If the price of certainty is for us to adopt the exact same proposals that were in place for eight years leading up to the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression…the result is going to be the same.”

      Oh, really? He will not return to past policies that created the Crisis ™ ? Great! That must mean he is getting rid of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, I presume. He must also be planning to get rid of some of the growth-killing regulations that were in effect as well the past 8 years. Right?

      Our National Blind Spot

      By Mark W. Hendrickson

       
      Nobody will dispute the fact that there are differences between private and public behavior. We can all think of things that we do privately that we would never consider doing in public. 

      This holds true in politics, too. Specifically, the vast majority of Americans would never dream of stealing from another person, yet they have no compunction about wanting government to take property from some citizens to give it to others.

      Friends with whom we would entrust the keys to our house and all our worldly goods are often enthusiastic supporters of government programs that redistribute wealth. Few of us would imagine that a Washington lobbyist would peek out his window at home, wait for his neighbors to leave, and then sneak into their houses to take their possessions. The very image is absurd. And yet, those same lobbyists spend their working hours trying to persuade politicians to grant favors to them and send the bill to someone else.

      Decades ago, the oldest free-market think tank, The Foundation for Economic Education, Inc., published Lewis Love's short parable, "A King of Long Ago." In the story, an artisan, a mason, and a lame beggar petition their king for aid. The artisan can't attract enough customers to meet his sales goals, the mason isn't getting hired very often, and the beggar isn't receiving sufficient alms. 

      They implore the king to correct this unsatisfactory state of affairs. The king commands that each petitioner be given a sword. He then authorizes the three to "go forth in the land and compel those who will not voluntarily deal with them to obey their command." 

      "No! No!" the three men demur. "We are men of honor and could not set upon our fellow man to compel him to our will. This we cannot do. It is you, O King, who must use the power."

      "You ask me to do that which you would not do because of honor?" questioned the king. "I, too, am an honorable man, and that which is dishonorable for you will never be less dishonorable for your king."

      Besides illustrating the ideal of the rule of law -- in which everyone, regardless of wealth, rank, and position, is equally constrained from infringing the rights of others -- this little parable shows the inconsistency of believing that private citizens should respect private property, but government leaders need not. Is that which is personally immoral politically moral? 

      What causes otherwise-honest people to condone the political plunder and redistribution of personal property? Immorality? That's too harsh for my taste. I prefer to say that there is a blind spot in their thinking.

      Maybe what we're dealing with is mob psychology. Perhaps it's rationalization. "It's for a worthy cause," we tell ourselves, oblivious to the fact that the Eighth Commandment doesn't say "Thou shalt not steal ... except by majority vote or unless it's for the poor." 

      Perhaps the explanation for this blind spot is self-delusion. We see nothing wrong with receiving benefits from the state. What we remain blissfully unconscious of is that the state has nothing to give us but what it takes from our fellow citizens. Indeed, Bastiat called the state "the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." It is a dream, a myth, and a fiction to believe that government gives you wealth out of its own productive bounty. Governments don't produce wealth; they only take it and redistribute it, substituting the political judgment of the few (the governing elite) for the economic verdict of everyone (a genuinely democratic process) acting in free markets. 

      Many reason that democracy somehow sanctifies and legitimates the forcible redistribution of wealth. For them, democracy sanitizes and civilizes the process of taking someone's honestly earned property. They don't perceive this as robbery. 

      But if this isn't robbery, then what is it? If the state's would-be victims resist being plundered, the state will retaliate by confiscating even more of their property and/or incarcerating them. The democratic process rests on force and the implied threat of force every step of the way. 

      We don't bat an eye anymore when someone glibly proposes "spreading the wealth." In fact, many Americans enjoy spreading the wealth, as long as it isn't their own. In a recent survey, three out of four Americans agreed that Obama and Congress should raises taxes on that minority of Americans with annual incomes above $200,000. Apparently, most Americans believe that Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and their minions have more of a right to spend those dollars than the citizens who earned them. 

      If you think this line of thought is crazy, then let me ask you a question: What percentage of a person's honest income should he or she be allowed to keep? The only guidelines I am aware of are "all of it" (the original American way, since income taxes were unconstitutional until 1913) or nothing beyond what anybody else (except the governing elite) can keep, according to the communist principle "from each according to his ability to each according to his need."

      Between those two polar extremes, any percentage one chooses would be arbitrary. In practice, the degree to which property is redistributed depends on whatever shifting political coalition has enough votes -- enough power -- at any given moment. Stripped of grandiose pretenses and specious idealism, contemporary political life has descended into a constant, contentious squabble to see who gets what at the expense of whom.

      Somehow, we're going to have to find a way to correct this ethical blind spot if we ever hope to avoid national bankruptcy and to live in greater harmony than we do today.

      The true story below can be considered "what's yet to come" if we continue to allow Obama and his cadre' to change our laws and Constitution, or merely undermine them. We are gradually being overtaken and we're allowing it. Americans beware!


      America Truly is the Greatest Country in the World. Dont Let Freedom Slip Away   By: Kitty Werthmann

      What I am about to tell you is something youve probably never heard or will ever read in history books.

      I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide 98% of the vote. Ive never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.

      In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates.

      Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didnt want to work; there simply werent any jobs. My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people about 30 daily.

      The Communist Party and the National Socialist Party were fighting each other. Blocks and blocks of cities like Vienna , Linz , and Graz were destroyed. The people became desperate and petitioned the government to let them decide what kind of government they wanted.

      We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933. We had been told that they didnt have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living. Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group -- Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria .. We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.

      We were overjoyed, and for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and everyone was fed.

      After the election, German officials were appointed, and like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service.

      Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldnt support his family. Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could retain the jobs they previously had been required to give up for marriage.

      Hitler Targets Education Eliminates Religious Instruction for Children:

      Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitlers picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldnt pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles, and had physical education.

      Sunday became National Youth Day with compulsory attendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change in curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time. The second time they would be fined the equivalent of $300, and the third time they would be subject to jail. The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports. As time went along, we loved it. Oh, we had so much fun and got our sports equipment free. We would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had.

      My mother was very unhappy. When the next term started, she took me out of public school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldn’t do that and she told me that someday when I grew up, I would be grateful. There was a very good curriculum, but hardly any fun – no sports, and no political indoctrination. I hated it at first but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would go back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing. Their loose lifestyle was very alarming to me. They lived without religion. By that time unwed mothers were glorified for having a baby for Hitler. It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly. As time went along, I realized what a great deed my mother did so that I wasn't exposed to that kind of humanistic philosophy.

      Equal Rights Hits Home:

      In 1939, the war started and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you didnt work, you didnt get a ration card, and if you didnt have a card, you starved to death. Women who stayed home to raise their families didnt have any marketable skills and often had to take jobs more suited for men.

      Soon after this, the draft was implemented. It was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps. During the day, the girls worked on the farms, and at night they returned to their barracks for military training just like the boys. They were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and participated in the signal corps. After the labor corps, they were not discharged but were used in the front lines. When I go back to Austria to visit my family and friends, most of these women are emotional cripples because they just were not equipped to handle the horrors of combat. Three months before I turned 18, I was severely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly had a leg amputated, so I was spared having to go into the labor corps and into military service.

      Hitler Restructured the Family Through Daycare:

      When the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately established child care centers. You could take your children ages 4 weeks to school age and leave them there around-the-clock, 7 days a week, under the total care of the government. The state raised a whole generation of children. There were no motherly women to take care of the children, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights. We knew we had been had.

      Health Care and Small Business Suffer Under Government Controls:

      Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of Vienna .. After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything. When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full. If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for your turn. There was no money for research as it was poured into socialized medicine. Research at the medical schools literally stopped, so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries.

      As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80% of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families. All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.

      We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables. Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn't meet all the demands. Soon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it could be in control.

      We had consumer protection. We were told how to shop and what to buy. Free enterprise was essentially abolished. We had a planning agency specially designed for farmers. The agents would go to the farms, count the live-stock, then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.

      Mercy Killing Redefined:

      In 1944, I was a student teacher in a small village in the Alps . The villagers were surrounded by mountain passes which, in the winter, were closed off with snow, causing people to be isolated. So people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. When I arrived, I was told there were 15 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good manual work. I knew one, named Vincent, very well. He was a janitor of the school. One day I looked out the window and saw Vincent and others getting into a van. I asked my superior where they were going. She said to an institution where the State Health Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months. They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness.

      As time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical health and all died within 6 months. We called this euthanasia.

      The Final Steps - Gun Laws:

      Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long after-wards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.

      No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up.

      Totalitarianism didnt come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria . Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little eroded our freedom.

      After World War II, Russian troops occupied Austria . Women were raped, preteen to elderly. The press never wrote about this either. When the Soviets left in 1955, they took everything that they could, dismantling whole factories in the process. They sawed down whole orchards of fruit, and what they couldnt destroy, they burned. We called it The Burned Earth. Most of the population barricaded themselves in their houses. Women hid in their cellars for 6 weeks as the troops mobilized. Those who couldn't, paid the price. There is a monument in Vienna today, dedicated to those women who were massacred by the Russians. This is an eye witness account.

      Its true, those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedom and opportunity.
      America Truly is the Greatest Country in the World. Don't Let Freedom Slip Away "After America , There is No Place to Go"!

      Misunderstanders of Islam Kill 16 Year Old Girl for Talking to Boys

      Posted by Duane Lester on Feb 5th, 2010 • Clicks

       

      More love and understanding from the Sharia law crowd:

      A 16-year-old girl was buried alive by relatives in southeastern Turkey in a gruesome honor killing carried out because she reportedly befriended boys, the Anatolia news agency reported Thursday.

      Acting on a tip, police discovered the body of the girl, identified only as M.M., in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a 2-meter-deep hole dug under a chicken pen outside her house in Kahta, a town in the southeastern province of Adıyaman, the news agency reported.

      The body was found in December, around 40 days after M.M. went missing. She is being identified by her initials because she was under the age of 18. Her father and grandfather are suspected in the murder.

      Clearly they don’t get it. Sharia is good for girls. Just ask Dalia Mogahed, Obama’s adviser on Muslim affairs.

      Think this is bad? This is in Turkey. What about the honor killings in America:

      Noor Faleh Almaleki has died of the injuries she received when her father ran her over with his car because he felt she was becoming “too Westernized”.

      Faleh Hassan Almaleki fled the scene of the crime, but was apprehended a week later after he fled the country, abandoned his Jeep in Mexico, flew to London where he was denied entry and subsequently returned to Atlanta, where law enforcement officials were waiting to arrest him on charges of aggravated assault.

      One of those charges should now read First Degree Murder.

      This is the second known honor killing this year in America.

  • the dreaded tax time. the dreaded tax time.

    • From: cliffr
    • Description:

      Something we all dread this time of year is doing our taxes. But I always do mine online with turbotax®. One thing I found this year was your boss/company will deduct less from your check. So unless you use a tax company to do them for you or do them online you will miss one of the credits that give you back what your boss didn't deduct.

      And don't go to one of these fly-by-night companies that pop-up over night. I heard that one was doing two sets of taxes for people. One without that credit and one with. They was giving their costumers the one with out and sending the one with to the government. Then they was keeping the difference for them selves. They did get sent to jail until their court date.

      So it is like the saying "buyer beware".

  • Mom accused of a sickening cri Mom accused of a sickening crime...

    • Description:

      A Monroe, Michigan mother is facing charges after FBI agents arrested her for an unthinkable crime.

      The woman appeared in a Detroit federal court for a detention hearing Wednesday afternoon after she was charged with sexually exploiting her daughter by selling her photos on a child pornography website.

      Police said the crime was discovered after the FBI found sexually explicit photos of the woman's young daughter on an alleged sex offender's computer in Jackson, Tennessee during a raid.

      The FBI Memphis Crimes Against Children Task Force set up a sting to find the people who set up the child porn Web site where the Tennessee man got the photos.

      Police said the 45-year-old mother met agents at a Western Union in Toledo, and that's how they discovered her involvement.

      When the woman's Monroe home that she shared with her convicted sex offender boyfriend and two children was raided, investigators found more than 500,000 photos of her daughter in sexually explicit outfits engaging in sexually explicit acts, according to the FBI.

      Mom accused of using daughter to start child porn site

      The woman told investigators that that her 52-year-old boyfriend, James Frazee, had been taking the photos of her daughter, who is now 15 years old, for more than seven years.

      The mother admitted to investigators that she knew Frazee had been convicted in 1990 of raping his biological daughter when she was under the age of 13 years old.

      She also admitted to helping Frazee set up the site, and to being present when he took the photos of her daughter.

      The FBI alleges that the two made more than $1,000 a month from the site.

      Frazee was charged Tuesday with production and possession of child pornography.

      He's in the Monroe County Jail in another case and has not appeared in federal court in Detroit.

      The mother remains in custody.

      It's not known yet if she'll be remanded or bonded out.

      Authorities are not identifying the mom in order to protect her daughter.

      Shocked neighbors said it seemed like a normal and happy household.

      "They seem like a real nice couple stayed to themselves," said neighbor Robert Origel.

      This is what happens when you let a monster back out on the streets ... and then you have a sicko mother whom can bond out and produce more and do it again ... Neither Monster should be free .. I wish our laws would protect our children better then what it is. Yell

      Recently I discovered that a friend of mine kind of hijacked my friends and sent them friend request. I don't have a problem if one of my friends sends a request to another one of my friends as long as they know each other.   However, if you don't know my friend Sussy Q, why would you send her a friend request?  I understand that younger people, mostly teenagers, do this and they may have their reasons, I am not a teenager anymore so I would not know.  However, the only way I see it as an adult is that you don't really have friends and need to hijack as many as you can from other people to "build-up" your friend's number.   What did I do?  I blocked that person from my friends list.  

      Just venting!
