FLDS Tragedy: First They Came For The Branch Davidians…

A current twist on the sentiments of Neimoller:

First they came for the Branch Davidians at Waco
and I did not speak out
because I was not an alleged wacko Christian cultist with guns.

Then they came for the FLDS church in San Angelo
and I did not speak out
because I was not an alleged child-abusing polygamist.

Eventually they came for me, and my church
and there was no one left
with any courage or outrage
to speak out for me.

I sit in stunned amazement of so many Americans cheerleading the government of Texas’ actions in the military raid at gunpoint, detention and kidnapping of the women and children at the FLDS compound in San Angelo earlier this month.

Let me state outrightly that I am not Mormon, I do not agree with their religious doctrines and both polygamy and child abuse is wrong and evil in my opinion.

But what was trampled underfoot YET AGAIN in Texas, was not the trampling of the rights of the FLDS members, it is the trampling of due process and the Constitutional rights of ALL AMERICANS.

I’m stunned no one sees or understands the absolute dangerous cliff we are going over with the tyrannical actions made against the FLDS in Texas.

Your right to religious liberty in the First Amendment was trampled.

Your right to be secure in your persons papers and effects, was trampled.

The Constitutional requirement that warrants to search and seize must be obtained by affirmation and oath of more than one witness of probable cause of a crime commited, has now been abolished.

A military raid on YOUR HOUSE or church can now be conducted after nothing more than an anonymous phone call by someone making false allegations.

Your children can and will be forcefully taken away from you at gunpoint if the state says you have abused them, even if no evidence of abuse was presented to a Judge to obtain a warrant.

Your children will become wards of the state and shipped to group home gulags with a history of abuse and murder. Parents are then prohibited from seeing their children and despite petition from attorneys, are denied by Judicial tyranny.

You can have your prayers prohibited unless they are monitored by a court-appointed overseer.

Your individual case to plead is abolished and you are treated in bulk with the whole of those accused.

And all of this, done before any defendants have their day in court.

I cannot relay to you how much my own blood boils at the abject tyranny on display in this case. This is Waco part II, without the bloodshed – but even more damaging to our liberties as Americans than at Mount Carmel.

I had someone argue with me vehemently that the FLDS deserved to have these things happen to them, and that regardless of the violations of due process and the Constitution that the State’s action’s, the seriousness of the charges outweigh their Rights, and by extention – ours.

During the course of the argument they wrote that “Whatever was needed to be done, even if it violated due process as you say and the Constitution, those children’s lives and stopping the abuse is more important than your stupid belief in the Constitution – I’d hate to live in a country of people that think like you do”.

So now a mere allegation or “common knowlege” is more important than our “stupid belief in the Constitution”

I now know and understand how it was possible that an enlightened people in Germany empowered a madman.

If people think for ONE SECOND that ANY of what was done to the FLDS deserves applause, kudos and thanks to the gestapo agents of the state, then will all due respect, they are no different than these enablers of tyrannical bastards:

What is frightening beyond comprehension, is that this entire raid was instigated by a BOGUS AND FALSE phone call, from Rozita Swinton in Colorado Springs CO!! She PRETENDED to be a 13 year old girl being held against her will in the compound.

Suddenly, the stormtrooper goons with submachine guns show up with APCs to bust in and kidnap the women and children without so much as showing a warrant, producing a warrant or providing any hard evidence of a crime to have procurred the warrant.

When asked if they could see the warrant, the stormtroopers told the women they do not get to see any warrant. That exchange was caught on video.

Then the Police and officials of the State lied to the women they took captive:

Worse yet, is after the kidnapping of these women and children, the women are being held in detention without being charged with any crime, and their children have been stripped from them and shipped to foster home that HAVE A HISTORY OF ABUSE, RAPE and even MURDER.

William Grigg notes this in his blog:

Judge Walther has ruled — and wasn’t the suspense terrific? — that the 416 abducted FLDS children will remain in “temporary” state custody.

This, despite the fact (as explained below), that the abuse report that provided the pretext for the raid was contrived. This, despite the admission, under oath, of Bruce Perry of the ChildTrauma Academy — an “expert” witness on behalf of the state — that the foster care system “would be destructive to these kids.”

As what follows will illustrate, Perry isn’t exaggerating one whit.

So … the warrant was based on a lie, the raid was therefore illegal, the children face the prospect of certain harm within the state foster care system — and Judge Walther is OK with this.

The raid was conducted on a false allegation, with no evidence of abuse and now are being put into a system where rape, abuse and worse have plagued the agency.

The children suffer behind an iron curtain of corrupt secrecy. That curtain was lifted a few years ago, long enough to get a brief but terrifying glimpse of what was being done by people who had placed themselves beyond accountability.

Scores of children were killed, poisoned, beaten, and otherwise abused each year. Child rape was terrifyingly common: The largest group of victims were between 12 and 15 years of age, but thirteen percent of the victims were three years old or younger.

An official investigation of this secretive system was undertaken, but soon foundered over obstructions thrown up by those who had the most to lose if the full truth were revealed. But before the portcullis was slammed shut, the investigator learned that a child being raised in that system was four times more likely to die of criminal violence than a child in the general population.

The obvious course of action would be to mount an armed raid to liberate those children, but whatever necessary means, from the abusive system in which they’re being held.

Unfortunately, the entity that would carry out such an operation also presides over the systematic abuse. The findings described above are from an abortive investigation of the Texas Foster Care System conducted by Carole Keeton Strayhorn on behalf of the state Comptroller’s office.

Grigg goes on and his sentiments are noteworthy to consider. This is an affront to liberty and an attack on freedom itself.

They’ve done what they intended: They’ve stolen the children, and they’re not going to give them back unless they’re literally forced to do so.

“I think some people have really focused on that [Sarah] but the reality is that her phone call is the reason we went out there, but it was not the reason for the removals,” claimed DFPS shill Greg Cunningham. “The removals happened based on what we saw out there.”

What, pray tell, did they see “out there”? We won’t find out until a court-appointed “Special Master” has had a chance to review — or, if necessary, contrive — the “evidence.”

Here’s what the public has seen:

We witnessed a military assault, with armor provided by the Department of Homeland Security, against a peaceful, unresisting religious community.

We have seen happy, healthy, well-adjusted children who have been separated at gunpoint from loving mothers.

The children suffer behind an iron curtain of corrupt secrecy. That curtain was lifted a few years ago, long enough to get a brief but terrifying glimpse of what was being done by people who had placed themselves beyond accountability.

Scores of children were killed, poisoned, beaten, and otherwise abused each year. Child rape was terrifyingly common: The largest group of victims were between 12 and 15 years of age, but thirteen percent of the victims were three years old or younger.

An official investigation of this secretive system was undertaken, but soon foundered over obstructions thrown up by those who had the most to lose if the full truth were revealed. But before the portcullis was slammed shut, the investigator learned that a child being raised in that system was four times more likely to die of criminal violence than a child in the general population.

The obvious course of action would be to mount an armed raid to liberate those children, but whatever necessary means, from the abusive system in which they’re being held.

Unfortunately, the entity that would carry out such an operation also presides over the systematic abuse. The findings described above are from an abortive investigation of the Texas Foster Care System conducted by Carole Keeton Strayhorn on behalf of the state Comptroller’s office.

“In April 2004 I said I would give our forgotten children in foster care something they need — a voice,” recalls Strayhorn. “I have been and will continue to be their voice. This Governor’s Health and Human Services Commission continues to stonewall my investigation and this governor continues to hide the truth.

We have seen and heard women who have experienced the single worst thing that can happen to a parent — the loss of a child or children — present themselves with dignity and reserve in the face of arrogant aggression by a corrupt state bureaucracy (as if any other kind existed).

What we have not seen is any evidence that children were being abused in the FLDS community.

But there is ample evidence of systematic abuse of the most heinous kind in the foster care system into which the child-snatchers seek to place the FLDS children.
Perry, or at least the government over which he presides, did eventually act to “save” children — by conducting a potentially lethal military raid against a community where they weren’t being abused, for the purpose of delivering them into a government-run system in which children are routinely killed, molested, and poisoned.

As an ABC News analysis points out, the DFPS legal strategy is to treat the people living in the YFZ enclave as a single household. In this fashion, under what the Texas government is pleased to call the “law,” finding a single case of abuse within the community would be enough to justify keeping all of the children in permanent state custody.

Which means, of course, that they would become the property of a single collectivist “household.” We could envision it as sort of a polygamous union between various foster homes and the state government, in its role as Parens Patriae. And in that collectivist household, abuse is widespread, frequently lethal, and protected by “law.”

As legal proceedings in the FLDS custody battle began today (in — as the bitter ironies continue to accumulate — the Tom Green Courthouse), the presiding judge, Barbara L. Walther, was praised by all and sundry as the very soul of equity.

Judge Walther will give the FLDS “a fair shake,” insisted attorney William Moore of San Angelo, where the case is being heard. Fellow attorney Guy Choate praised Walther for her command of details. And Robert Post, whom Walther defeated in the 1992 election in which she won her seat, insisted that the judge won’t be a “rubber stamp” for the state bureaucracy, but rather will “make them prove it up.”

Judge Walther may be the embodiment of competence; she may be the essence of good intentions made flesh. But either through professional blindness or something more sinister she failed her first, and perhaps most important, test today:

She did not issue an order to the DFPS commanding them to produce “Sarah,” with an inflexible and immediate deadline to do so.

Walther is the judge who issued an extravagantly overbroad warrant on the basis of “Sarah’s” alleged report. Today she admitted into evidence documents seized in that raid without confirming that there was a legal basis for the warrant.

By relieving the DFPS of the responsibility to produce the alleged witness that was the basis of that report, Walther has graduated from commonplace offenses against the Constitution to participation in a criminal conspiracy — assuming, as I think by now we should, that “Sarah” doesn’t exist.

The criminal conspiracy in this case involves the attempted — or, better put, not entirely consummated — theft of children by a state bureaucracy with a financial interest in enlarging the ranks of its foster care system, however miserable or dangerous that system is to its enrollees.

So, who will be next?

The Mormons themselves?

The 7th Day Adventists?

YOUR CHURCH?

If all it takes is an uncorroborated anonymous phone call by someone claiming a crime to bring the entire weight of an armed police state through your doors, the confiscation of your children and property, then America and liberty as we knew her are already gone, and all that is left of us is to wait in fear – waiting for that knock at the door in the middle of the night, before the Gestapo bust down your door and shove a gun in your face while your family is taken away and shipped to who knows where.

In a touch of irony when fiction mimics life, as Padme Amidala noted in the last Star Wars movie ‘Revenge of the Sith” –

“So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.”

Witness liberty dying before your eyes Americans.

To thunderous applause.

JUSTICE DENIED.
Legal aid group challenges state’s forced relocation of FLDS children to foster homes

The Third Court of Appeals has decided to hear arguments over whether the state of Texas can place children from the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints currently in its custody into foster care without giving each of their families the opportunity to defend themselves in court, according to a press release.

“These families have the right to have their voices heard in the legal process,” said TRLA attorney Robert Doggett. “The idea that these children can be taken away without giving their families the opportunity to address allegations and fight to stay together is absurd.”

STATE MOVES CHILDREN, BEFORE APPEALS COURT CAN HEAR FLDS MOTHERS” PETITION

Late this morning (4-24), two buses left the San Angelo Coliseum about 20 minutes apart.

The first bus seemed to have only a few people aboard, but the second was fully loaded and headed south.

Both buses had heavy law enforcement escort.

As the second bus was leaving the San Angelo Fairgrounds, a window was cracked open, and a sign thrust out that read “SOS mothers separated help.”

Confidence in FLDS arrest warrant now shaky, authorities say

Revelations that the March 29 phone call that sparked a raid on a Schleicher County polygamist compound may be a hoax have led prosecutors to doubt the reason for the original search-and-arrest warrant that granted authorities access to the YFZ Ranch.

Arrests still could be made in the case, said First Assistant 51st District Attorney Allison Palmer. The raid, based on the warrant, led to the removal of 437 children from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ranch, the largest child custody action in Texas history.

“If it were true that the female who identified herself as Sarah is not really Sarah, I do not feel that would be enough to (invalidate) the search warrant,” Palmer said.

Palmer used the phone calls as the probable cause necessary to secure the search-and-arrest warrant granted by District Judge Barbara Walther.

“Some events have shaken our belief and confidence in that probable cause,” Palmer said.

ABC News Asserts That Mexican Drug Violence Is Fault of U.S. Constitution

Yup, you read the headline right. But should any of us that understand that the mainstream media despises the pesky 2nd Amendment as much as the Marxists in government do be surprised?

As life gets more difficult here at home with a slumping economy and a spoiled-rotten entitlement mindset among most Americans, the continuous shredding of the Constitution by everyone from politicians and their propaganda arms of the 4th branch of Government in the media is greeted with yawns.

So when the mainstream media goes to the extremes of propagandizing the big lies against our very foundations in blaming the woes and miseries of the third world cesspools on our own foundational documents – they must perceive that doing away with that pesky document altogether within the realm of possibility.

In the very least, they are conditioning the American people to accept the severe regulation or abolishment of the 2nd Amendment. With the SCOTUS opinion on the DC vs Heller case regarding the ability of states to regulate the 2nd Amendment to be handed down anytime, isn’t it convenient that yet another media expose in blaming that pesky Constitutional Amendment again rears it’s head?

Warner Todd Huston at Newbusters has a good opinion about ABC News blaming the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution for the latest round of cartel drug violence in Mexico this latest round of media propaganda.

ABC News: Mexican Drug Violence U.S. Constitution’s Fault

By Warner Todd Huston

True to the liberal penchant for blaming every ill in the world on the USA, ABC News has produced a “report” claiming that the increasing number of guns and drug cartel violence in Mexico is all the fault of… the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That’s right, it isn’t the drug dealers and killers in Mexico that are at fault, it’s James Madison and the Founding Father’s fault! Now, before you imagine that I am employing hyperbole in my introduction, just look at the title of their piece: “U.S. Guns Arming Mexican Drug Gangs; Second Amendment to Blame?”

ABC wrote that “U.S. gun stores and gun shows are the source of more than 90 percent of the weapons being used by Mexico’s ruthless drug cartels,” but then noted that “It’s virtually impossible to buy a firearm in Mexico as a private citizen.” To anyone really thinking about it, this fact sort of confirms the pro-gun bromide that “if you make owning a gun a crime, only criminals will have guns,” doesn’t it?

Regardless, ABC allows the Mexican attorney general to present Mexican criminality as the fault of the U.S. Constitution.

Mexico’s strict gun laws are being subverted by the easy availability of weapons in the U.S., the Mexican attorney general, Eduardo Medina-Mora Icaza, told ABC News. “The Second Amendment,” said the attorney general, “is certainly not designed to arm and give fire power to organized crime abroad.”

If that same Mexican government wasn’t so rife with corruption, weakness and crime, our laws here wouldn’t be such a problem for them there. Here is the thing, if Mexicans had the same God-given right to self-defense as Americans, all their guns would be purchased right at home. But, Constitutional right or no, the same violence would be happening in Mexico as the violence is not the fault of gun laws. It is the fault of Mexican corruption and drugs.

Further, the Mexican drug cartels are powerful and flush with money. If they really wanted guns and the USA didn’t offer an easy mark to obtain them, they’d merely go elsewhere. Certainly we should try harder to assure that our Constitutional rights don’t interfere with the laws of a neighboring nation, but to assume we are the sole cause of their ills is poppycock.

Naturally the ABC piece bandies around the term “high-powered assault weapons” as if it were a meaningful phrase instead of a kitchy and misleading term as used by anti-gun advocates, but the piece is also misleading with its claim of “cop killer” bullets in the newly popular Belgian-made pistol dubbed by Mexican gangs as the “mata policia.” ABC reports the power of the Belgian FN pistol as if its round was especially powerful and is perhaps a new and rising threat to standard police bullet proof vests. However, this is misleading in the fact that the “mata policia” isn’t any more dangerous than most rifle rounds, including the 7.62×25 round of many handguns made in Eastern Europe and China. In other words, its popularity isn’t because it is more dangerous than any other weapons, but as much out of a sort of fad as anything.

Additionally, the ABC piece also slings around the name “AK47” quite a lot. Where this is misleading is that the AK47s sold in the USA are not automatic weapons. They are not machine guns. Yet the ABC piece leads the reader into imagining that they might be. If machine guns are being used by Mexican gangs they are certainly not coming from the United States because machine guns such as the proper AK47 are illegal here.

But a telling item came from ABC’s first posting of this story on-line. Here was one of their original paragraphs:

The drug cartels’ weapons of choice include variants of the AK-47, .50-caliber rifles converted to automatic firing capability and a Belgian-made pistol called the “cop killer” or “mata policia” because of its ability to pierce a bulletproof vest.

Yet, hours later the paragraph was altered to read this way:

The drug cartels’ weapons of choice include variants of the AK-47, .50-caliber sniper rifles and a Belgian-made pistol called the “cop killer” or “mata policia” because of its ability to pierce a bulletproof vest.

Notice what’s missing (from my bold in the first version)? You see, you cannot make a civilian style .50 cal. rifle fire in automatic mode.

It should also be noted that the straw-man purchase is already a federal crime. So, if people are buying large lots of guns for someone else, that is already against the law. This is also a matter of our government not enforcing current laws. New laws aren’t needed but we aren’t even enforcing many of the laws we do have on the books already.

But, this whole story also points to a support for something else that doesn’t get mentioned: building the border fence. If we had better border control, we wouldn’t have American guns so easily crossing the boarder to kill the Mexicans that Mexican guns don’t want to kill. Build a fence and we’d certainly make it harder to smuggle guns.

Still, the lawlessness of a neighboring nation is no reason to destroy a Constitutional right here.

Yet ANOTHER Obama Advisor Shows Contempt For Christians

Last November this blog pointed out the contempt Barrack Hussein Obama eluded to in his dislike of Christians, even though he masquerades around as one.

His associations, freindships and mentors are a cadre of Middle Eastern sleaze bag financiers, domestic terrorists, an America-hating racist pastor and elite snobs who sneer at middle America, and especially Christians who own guns.

And now comes the revelation that Obama has yet ANOTHER campaign advisor and friend that has his own animus and elitist condescension towards the Christian faith and Christian voters, which he happily shares with others.

Stanford Law Professor, Larry Lessig, a digital Communist Tech guru with Google, and Advisor to the Obama campaign has a little video he likes to share with others that depict Jesus as a disco-singing flamboyant homosexual in a diaper that gets run over by a bus.

This video is blasphemous and disturbing if you are sensitive to the depiction of your Lord and Savior with such contempt.

Of course if this was Mohammed Lessig was insulting, we could expect mass riots and death threats from Muslims. Interesting that Lessig and his contemptable audience at Google has nothing to fear from Christians as a result of their ridicule of Jesus Christ, but would they dare slander Islam the way they think they can slander Christianity?

Google has a history of being unfreindly to Christians, while it has no problem banning anyone that might insult Islam or question Liberal ideologies like Abortion and so on.

But the story deepens.

This is yet ANOTHER individual Obama has CHOSEN to associate himself with. Lessig himself acknowldeges this freindship, and given that Obama has past alliances and relationships with black nationalists, racists, and domesitc terrorists like William Ayers, it is clear that Obama lacks any judgement of character and that he himself must share all of these anti-American and anti-social views, otherwise he would not be in fellowship with such individuals.

Barack Obama’s campaign has regularly cited Lessig as a key supporter on technology issues (see here too) and made sure Lessig was quoted when listing Obama’s technology endorsers.

As our friends from Newsbusters ask:

So, what we have here is another close Obama supporter and advisor that seems to hate the things that the average American holds dear. The list of America hating Obama associates is getting longer every day, and now we can add a Christian hating, communist to that list.

It’s really hard to believe that any real American can support a man for president of the United States of America who surrounds himself with people who so hate this country and all it stands for.

School Board Says That The Presence Of A Bible, Is An Establishment of A State Religion, and Must be Banned

Wonder how soon they will dispense with all of these ridiculous bannings, and just get down to the brass tacks of what they REALLY want to do, and burn all the bibles and round up all the Christians for camps and elimination??

For now, it appears that the Separation of Church and State Religion trumps the Constitution. That’s why the government is used to step in and tightly regulate your use of and access to religious materials.

And we Emoting American Christians shrugs our shoulders, say a silent prayer and then hear a sermon about how we are better Christians by applying Romans 13 in order to condition ourselves to listen and obey the government, even when they strip us of our right to worship God.

Mount Vernon teacher can keep Bible in his room but not on desk top, school board president says

Jami Kinton
News Journal

MOUNT VERNON — The president of the Mount Vernon City Schools Board of Education said today a middle school teacher may keep a Bible in his classroom, but not on top of his desk.

John Freshwater, an eighth-grade science teacher, refused the district’s directive to remove his personal Bible from atop his desk Wednesday, calling it an “infringement on my deeply held religious beliefs.”

“He can keep the book inside his desk or have it out during his lunch or free periods,” board president Ian Watson said. “There is a lot of misinformation out there, which is to be expected, but we only asked him to remove the book from his desk top when students are in the room.”

Superintendent Steve Short said as far as he knows the Bible still is atop Freshwater’s desk.

Watson said Freshwater might face an insubordination charge if he fails to comply.

“If he doesn’t remove the Bible from his desk top, at some point, and I don’t know that point yet because we haven’t progressed that far, but some claim of insubordination could be made,” Watson said. “There would be penalties involved, which would vary depending on level of insubordination.”

Watson would not comment on the possible punishments, but said Short would make that determination.

Freshwater, who held a press conference on Mount Vernon’s public square Wednesday, could not be reached for comment today.

“Mr. Freshwater has not yet been placed on leave at this time,” Short said. “I’m still hoping that we can get this resolved, but as far as trying to guess when that would be would be conjecture at this time.”

A statement from the school board about the directive to Freshwater said, “The Mount Vernon Schools has not taken this action because it opposes religion but because it has an obligation under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to protect against the establishment of religion in the schools. As a public school system, the district cannot teach, promote or favor any religion or religious beliefs.”

Well that’s a plain damnable lie, and egregiously hypocritical since it appears only Christianity is singled out for such treatment in America today. Apparently, if it’s teaching the Five Pillars of Islam in Public School, or actually BEING a public school that teaches Islam but disguises itself as a public school is okay. If it’s the Bible, or a Christian prayer group, or a coach wanting to take a knee with his player – NOPE, that’s an establishment of religion according to the government. But dressing up American school kids as Muslims, giving them prayer rugs and bowing down to Mecca is just a “cultural exercise” or “history lesson”.

Yes. God forbid you mention George Washington’s prayer in history class, but let’s all play Muslims and get some culture, and start by praying to allah. Just don’t dare hold hands around the flag pole and pray in the name of Jesus because you will violate the Constituion if you do. And if you are brazen enough to leave a bible sitting on your desk – you are creating a State Religion and you must be punished, which they will do, right after they dress up the girls in class like mummies and teach the boys how to kiss the floor while facing Mecca.

Watson said the Bible on Freshwater’s desk became an issue when one family brought it to Short’s attention.

“The parents expressed concern on what allegedly occurred. Most recently, I spoke to the family at the first of this month,” Watson said. “We would like to see the Bible removed so that we can be responsive to parents, and we would like to reach a common ground with Mr. Freshwater that everyone can be OK with, but I don’t know if that will happen.”

When asked if Freshwater was preaching from the Bible during class, Watson would not comment.

“We are still in the fact-finding stage, so I don’t want to respond to that yet,” he said.
Short said talk concerning the issue has been prevalent throughout the community.

“We’re a good-sized town and fairly close-knit community, and I would assume this would be a very emotional topic for a lot of people. I understand that,” he said. “I have not had opportunity to talk with students and faculty, though, to gage their opinions.”

“We’re too early into the situation to make a determination on how people think,” Watson said. “And I’m not keeping score on either side.”

Short and Watson said they have no had recent conversations with Freshwater.

Short said the next school board meeting is May 12.

“But I would hope that we can come to resolution before that time,” he said.

Watson said he is concerned for students.

“This is really unfortunate timing,” he said. “We have state testing coming up and I’m not sure how well the students will be focused at this time, and that’s really frustrating for us.”

Oh yes, forbid that the Word of God be present during a test, it will distract the students from making high grades and cause the school district to lose precious state funding and subsidies!

Apparently, not only does the Bible by it’s very presence automatically create a State Religion if it is seen in a public school, but it automatically causes ADD in any student that comes near it and they might not be able to handle taking the tests while texting their freinds on their cell phones and listening to their iPods.

The horror!

Obama’s Disdain For Gun-Toting God Nuts In A Nutshell

You gotta love Ann Coulter. Her satirical wit on the latest flap of Obama’s Saul Alinsky Elitist tongue puts both he, and his party’s contempt for the average American in a nutshell.

OBAMA WOOS GUN-TOTING GOD NUTS
April 16, 2008

Ann Coulter

The Democrats’ “Fake-Out America” adviser, Berkeley linguistics professor George Lakoff, must be beside himself. Despite Lakoff’s years spent training Democrats to “frame” their language to stop scaring Americans, B. Hussein Obama was caught on tape speaking candidly to other liberals in San Francisco last week.

One minute Obama was bowling in Pennsylvania with nice, ordinary people wearing “Beer Hunter” T-shirts, and the next thing you know, he was issuing a report on the psychological traits of normal Americans to rich liberals in San Francisco.

Obama informed the San Francisco plutocrats that these crazy working-class people are so bitter, they actually believe in God! And not just the 12-step meeting, higher power, “as you conceive him or her to be” kind of God. The regular, old-fashioned, almighty sort of “God.”

As Obama put it: “(T)hey get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

The rich liberals must have nearly fainted at the revelation that the denizens of small towns in Pennsylvania have absolutely no concern for the rich’s ability to acquire servants from Mexico at a reasonable price.

We don’t know much about Obama’s audience, other than that four fundraisers were held on April 6 at the homes of San Francisco’s rich and mighty, such as Alex Mehran, an Iranian who went into daddy’s business and married an IBM heiress, and Gordon Getty, heir to the Getty Oil fortune.

It is not known whether any of Getty’s three illegitimate children attended the Obama fundraiser — which turned out to be more of a McCain fundraiser — but photos from the event indicate that there were a fair number of armed (and presumably bitter) policemen providing security for the billionaire’s soiree.

In 1967, Gordon sued his own father to get his hands on money from the family trust — and lost. So Gordon Getty knows from bitter. It’s a wonder he hasn’t turned to guns, or even to immigrant-bashing. God knows (whoever he is) there are enough of them working on his home.

These are the sort of well-adjusted individuals to whom Obama is offering psychological profiles of normal Americans, including their bizarre theories about how jobs being sent to foreign countries and illegal-alien labor undercutting American workers might have something to do with their own economic misfortunes.

It’s going to take a lot of “framing” for Democrats to recast Obama’s explanation to San Francisco cafe society that gun ownership and a belief in God are the byproducts of a psychological disorder brought on by economic hardship.

It is an article of faith with the Democrats that they must fool Americans by simulating agreement with normal people. The winner of the Democratic primary is always the candidate who does the best impersonation of an American.

But then, after all their hard work making believe they’re into NASCAR and God, some Democrat invariably slips and lets us know it’s all a big fake-out. They’re like a gay guy trying to act straight who accidentally refers to Brad Pitt as “yummy!”

The Democrats’ last phony American (or perhaps I should say “faux American”) was John Kerry, who famously said that if “you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”

Kerry claimed this was not an accurate reflection of his feelings about the troops, despite a four-decade record of contempt for them, including accusing American troops of being baby-killers during the Vietnam War.

Rather, he said, it was a “botched joke.” (In Kerry’s defense, he was the opening act for Randi Rhodes’ stand-up comedy show at the time.) But as with his military records, Kerry refused to allow his joke-writer to release any of the jokes cut from that speech.

In case there was any confusion, other Democrats immediately clarified their position by going on television and saying — as Rep. Charlie Rangel did — that our troops are people who don’t have the option of having “a decent career.”

These Democrats can’t even pull off attending a NASCAR race without embarrassing themselves. In August 2004, Kerry exclaimed: “Who among us does not love NASCAR?” And then, about six months ago, Democratic congressional staffers to Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., sent out a memo urging aides going to NASCAR races to get inoculated before attending.

Obama had been so careful until now, “framing” his message as “change” — rather than partial birth abortion, driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, tax hikes, socialized medicine and abandoning mandatory minimum prison sentences for federal crimes.

His message is “change” — not that his wife has not been proud to be an American for most of her life.

He is for “change” — and don’t mind the crazy racist loon who has been Obama’s spiritual mentor for two decades.

One can only hope that Obama got his shots before bowling in Altoona, Pa.

Anti-God Insanity – Court Rules No Prayer In Public

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” 1st Amendment, United States Constitution

Obviously, prohibiting the free exercise thereof is perfectly Constitutional according to our Godless court systems and depraved judiciary, especially if you are a coach and do something as outrageous as bowing your head or taking a knee while your team prays before a game.

God is going to laugh at this nation in the day of our calamity for our brazen rejection of Him and His Ways and Laws in a nation so bereft of wisdom, it’s frightening.

Court: E. Brunswick football coach can’t kneel, bow head as team prays

The East Brunswick school board was within its rights to tell a football coach he cannot kneel and bow his head as members of his team have a student-led pre-game prayer, a federal appeals court ruled today.

The ruling from the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia reversed a lower-court ruling made almost two years ago.

All three members of the three-judge panel wrote their own opinions on the issue, which pits the right to free speech against the freedom from official establishment of a religion.

The judges agreed the East Brunswick Board of Education’s policy barring school staff from joining in student-led was constitutional. But the judges differed on what exactly a coach should do when his team prays.

From the time Marcus Borden became the Bears’ coach in 1983, he was deeply involved in team prayers; for a time, he even led them. In 2005, school officials received complaints that he was leading prayers and asked him to stop participating.

He sued the school board seeking to be allowed to bow his head and kneel when students led their own prayers. A lower-court judge found that should be allowed.

The East Brunswick Board of Education appealed Cavanaugh’s ruling, saying that by taking a knee and bowing his head, Borden was endorsing religion whether he mouthed the words with his players or not.

The appeal was taken over by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a Washington, D.C., group that opposes prayer in schools.

“We find that based on the history of Borden’s conduct with the team’s players, his acts cross the line and constitute an unconstitutional endorsement of religion,” the judges wrote in the ruling. “Although Borden believes that he must continue to engage in these actions to demonstrate solidarity with his team…we must consider whether a reasonable observer would perceive his actions as endorsing religion, not whether Borden intends to endorse religion.”

Ronald Riccio, the Morristown-based attorney representing Borden, said he plans to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“The supreme court should hear this case because so far, there have been four judges who rendered an opinion that’s different from the other’s decision. There are decisions around the country that go both ways. This is primed for the supreme court,” he said.

A Dragon In Presidential Candidate Clothing

While recent gaffes of Barrack Hussein Obama are showcasing what kind of a contemptable Elitist-Alinsky-Racist he actually is, the media is doing all in their power to bury or apologize for their Golden Boy for the White House.

Already the recent flack over Obama’s comments over the weekend that rural Americans were “bitter” and “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” are being forgotten and forgiven.

Poll numbers today show that Hillary Clinton’s gain on Obama was short lived and the Democrat party itself is not worried about yet ANOTHER insulting comment by Obama.

But contrary to the charge by some Conservatives and Republicans that Obama is “just an empty suit” – I warn all Americans that Obama is far more dangerous than assuming his clothes are void of any substance. Obama is cloaked in the mantle of a smooth-talking messiah for high office – and inside that cloak, is a dragon.

I’m not alone in my sentiments.

Obama: The Most Dangerous Man In America

He’s kind of goofy looking. He makes a great speech. He appeals to the misty-eyed idealism of every college freshman in America starting out on their college degrees dreaming of how they are going to change the world.

He talks about hope and change. He doesn’t talk about what he’s hoping for or what changes he wants to make to what or to who. But do not be fooled by this seemingly harmless yet hopeful candidate for President. If elected, Barack Obama along with a Democrat controlled Congress, will greatly harm this country and thus he is without doubt the most dangerous man in America, and by extension, the most dangerous man on the planet.

Forget for the time being the destruction that will be wrought on America domestically. Let’s look at his views on foreign policy and his philosophy, as much as he has revealed it, on the defense of this country. He recently made a very revealing statement when he said he would never use nuclear weapons against an enemy.

Think about that for a moment.

Our possession of nuclear weapons maintained peace throughout the Cold War and the possibility that we might use them deterred some Soviet leaders from ever considering a pre-emptive first strike. Over the years since we first deployed nuclear weapons and saved 1 million American lives in 1945, we have upgraded these weapons, miniaturised them, made them more efficient and refined the delivery systems. We have spent millions of dollars on this effort and it has been money well spent. Russia and China are constantly working to do the same thing and upgrade and improve their nuclear weapons. Barack Obama has announced that he will surrender our nuclear deterrent without a shot being fired. It is called unilateral nuclear disarmament. No new work will be done to keep our technology up to date and the already existing weapons will be allowed to fall into disrepair and be unusable. For the Russians and the Chinese this means one critical thing: a survivable pre-emptive nuclear strike is now an option for them. They now know that they could wipe out 10 or 12 key Amercian cities and we would not retaliate against them. That is a very dangerous position to be in.

Obama has also indicated that he will stop all procurement of offensive combat systems. That means no new aircraft, no new ships, no new tanks, no new artillery pieces, basically all weapons procurement will come to a screeching halt. Funding for the missile defense system will be cut. I wonder if he will even let them buy bullets for their guns. He will also close Guanatanamo Bay and release those held there. He will bring home the troops from Iraq and surrender all the progress made there since the surge. He will prevent the intelligence services from doing any type of wiretap surveillance of terrorists and he will stop the practice of tracking their financial transactions. He will only allow very basic questioning of the very few terror suspects that we may catch.

Couple this with his stated willingness to talk to all of our enemies.

Iran has threatened the very existence of the State of Israel: he wants to talk to them.

Hamas has launched rockets into civilian areas of Southern Israel and sent homicide bombers onto Israeli school buses: he wants to talk to them.

Hezbollah has launched rockets into civilian areas of Northern Israel. They have kidnapped Israeli soldiers. They have kidnapped private citizens from many countries, including Americans, tortured them and held them captive for years. They murdered 240 Marines in 1983: he wants to talk to them.

The PLO have murdered thousands of innocent Israeli’s and thousands of innocent civilians all over the world. They have desecrated an Olympic games with their murderous acts: he wants to talk to them.

Al-Qaeda murdered 3,000 people on September 11th 2001: he wants to talk to Bin Laden.

Virtually any terrorist organisation that has killed Americans, he wants to appease.

It is now viable for smaller nuclear states like Pakistan, should its weapons ever fall into the wrong hands, North Korea and soon Iran, to attack the United States with a nuclear warhead and know we will not retaliate in kind.
Barack Obama thinks this country needs to be brouight down a peg or two. He believes we need to be humbled. He doesn’t want America to be a superpower any longer, militarily or otherwise. He believes that our contribution to the United Nations should be 1 trillion dollars by the end of 2012. This means that he will always defer to the UN when the defense of this country is needed. We all know what the UN will do to defend us: nothing.

Where does he get this from? Jeremiah Wright. I will not call him Reverend because I reserve that title for men of God and anyone that can spew the hate he does is no man of God. Obama agrees with the “chickens home to roost” comment about 9/11. He has tried to deny it but it is clear that his loyalty to this man and his Church are unwavering even given Wright’s hatred of this country. Deep down inside, although political expediency will not let him admit it, Obama is in agreement with his pastor on these issues.

Our enemies are full of hope. Our enemies are hoping that Obama will bring change. The things they would hope for and change about the United States will come to pass if Obama is elected President. It would usher in a disastrous period for America and a Second Holocaust in Israel. Think about Wright’s comments and the sheer antipathy toward his own country indicated by them. Then think about a man slick enough not to say it in public, but who actually believes it deep down and then put that man in the White House. Think about the prospect of Jeremiah Wright visiting the White House and giving advice to his protege.

It should scare you because it sure scares me to think that the very existence of this country and the State of Israel could be in the hands of the most Liberal member of the US Senate and a man who allowed Jeremiah Wright to conduct his wedding service and baptise his children and be a member of his advisory board. A man who values the advice of someone who called this country the United States of KKKA and invited his congregation to G*****n this country which they happily did.

Barack Obama may not wish to disown the man who expresses those sentiments, but you can and you should reject Obama along with him.

Birds Of A Feather: Obama’s Pastor Wright – A Former Muslim

Things we know about Islam:

Once a Muslim, always a Muslim according to Islamic leaders.

It is permissible to lie and deceive infidels according to several Hadiths.

Things we know about Obama’s Pastor of 20 years Jeremiah Wright:

He is a Black Nationalist, hates America and Whites.

Celebrated Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakahn with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Traveled to meet Moammar Quadaffi.

Things we recently knew about Obama:

Obama is a former Muslim

Things we did not know:

Obama’s pastor Wright – his spiritual advisor for over 20 years – is a former Muslim himself.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright: Former Muslim

an old article last year (March 07) From TNR about Obama was written by Ryan Lizza, Senior editor at The New Republic. It’s a biographical piece, but in the article, it explicitly states that Jeremiah Wright is a former Muslim.

From Wright and others, Obama learned that part of his problem as an organizer was that he was trying to build a confederation of churches but wasn’t showing up in the pews on Sunday. When pastors asked him the inevitable questions about his own spiritual life, Obama would duck them uncomfortably. A Reverend Philips put the problem to him squarely when he learned that Obama didn’t attend services. “It might help your mission if you had a church home,” he told Obama. “It doesn’t matter where, really. What you’re asking from pastors requires us to set aside some of our more priestly concerns in favor of prophesy. That requires a good deal of faith on our part. It makes us want to know just where you’re getting yours from.”

After many lectures like this, Obama decided to take a second look at Wright’s church. Older pastors warned him that Trinity was for “Buppies”–black urban professionals–and didn’t have enough street cred. But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity’s guiding principles–what the church calls the “Black Value System”–included a “Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness.’”

The crosscurrents appealed to Obama. He came to believe that the church could not only compensate for the limitations of Alinsky-style organizing but could help answer the nagging identity problem he had come to Chicago to solve. “It was a powerful program, this cultural community,” he wrote, “one more pliant than simple nationalism, more sustaining than my own brand of organizing.”

As a result, over the years, Wright became not only Obama’s pastor, but his mentor. The title of Obama’s recent book, The Audacity of Hope, is based on a sermon by Wright. (It’s worth noting, however, that, while Obama’s book is a coolheaded appeal for common ground in an age of political polarization, Wright’s sermon, “The Audacity to Hope,” is a fiery jeremiad about persevering in a world of nuclear arms and racial inequality.) Wright is one of the first people Obama thanked after his Senate victory in 2004, and he recently name-checked Wright in his speech to civil rights leaders in Selma, Alabama.

So the question is, why hasn’t anyone mentioned the fact that he’s a former Muslim? Could this be why Obama’s church posted a Hamas manifesto in the Trinity Church program last year? It obviously explains Wright’s affinity with Louis Farrakhan. It also explains more why Rev. Wright got his Masters degree in “Islam in West Africa”

Absolut Celebrates America’s Takeover By Mexico

Americans by nature, are slow to wrath.

We’re generally an easy-going people and esteem the best out of everyone, even madmen that threaten to nuke us. Americans always hope for the best, and try to see the goodness in people, a mentality that Anne Frank wrote in her famous diary in the midst of humanity’s brutality, right before she was taken by force and gassed to death by the Nazis.

Sadly, I fear in this age of Multicultural nonsense, there is very little that can be done to threaten and demean us, since many of our countrymen are joining the thuggish throngs of the world in denouncing ourselves. American presidents are burned in effigy alongside American flags and dummies of marines that are spit on and burned by the anti-war morons in American streets.

But I saw a glimmer of hope this week, as American tempers and blood boiled over with the release of Absolut Vodka’s marketing program in Mexico. The campaign depicts the entire Southwest of America taken over and annexed by Mexico, in solidarity with the Atzlan and Mecha movments for the Reconquinista of the United States. It’s huge hit in Mexico as I’m sure you can imagine, though the Multiculturalists and Mexicans are taken aback by the reaction it’s getting here in the States.

Apparently words and stories by Jihadists about promising America’s coming doom and marches by millions of Illegal Mexican Insurgents making demands are not enough to resonate with most people, but a liquor ad with a simple map puts match to the powder keg.

I guess better late than never.

Absolut vodka ad stirs a U.S.-Mexico debate
Some in the north take offense at the depiction of an old border.

MEXICO CITY — The latest advertising campaign in Mexico from Swedish vodka maker Absolut seemed to push all the right buttons south of the U.S. border, but it ruffled a few feathers in El Norte.

As word of the campaign spread across the border, primarily via the Internet, some in the United States began giving the campaign a much more hostile reception.

The colorful ad, created by the Teran\TBWA agency and the vodka maker, is a sight gag depicting what a map of North America might look like “In an Absolut world,” i.e., a perfect one.

Oh yeah?

Well, here’s AMERICA”S Idea of the “Perfect World”, created and submitted by yours truly:

Shove that in your tortillas and smoke it Absolut!

God’s Commandments BANNED Again.

The relentless march of the banning and removal of religious liberty and free exercise continues.

Clinton-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Joseph H. McKinley Jr., is again consistent with his record of being a Leftist stooge of the ACLU to ban any Christian religious expression. On Friday he issued a permanent injunction against a display of the commandments in Grayson County, KY, the latest in a series of high-profile decisions involving similar displays in Kentucky county courthouses.

The Grayson Fiscal Court had a “religious purpose” for erecting the display, and later efforts to depict it as educational were a “sham,” according to the ruling.

This is the same Judge in 2006 that banned student prayer at graduation ceremonies in Russel County that mention ‘God’ or ‘Jesus’, even if the student is exercising their own free speech, they have been forbidden to mention God at school functons.

So much for the First Amendment in the district this tyrannical judge presides.

It’s a death blow for freedom, when unaccountable judges appointed to office can run roughshod over the fundamental rights of religious exercise and speech enumerated and protected in the Constitution. While the government cannot establish a state religion, it may NOT ‘prohibit the free exercise thereof’. But this tyrant in robes has seen fit to do just that, applying the lie and myth about Separation to once again infringe upon the rights of countless American citizens to practice their community faith.

Let us not forget Benjamin Franklin’s admonition that “Disobedience to tyrants is obedience to God”

As long as Christians go along with these bans, it won’t be long before nooses and chains are placed on their necks.

As our nation suffers one crisis after another, can this people cry out to God for aid when they have discarded Him and expect help?

“But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you – when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

“Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me. Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD”. – Proverbs 1:24-29
