So, why listen to me? I'm nobody on the scale of things, right?<br />
<br />
The reason you should listen is because I've heard this song and dance before. We have all heard it before, really. I remember, as if it was yesterday, my excitement in picking a President, who I thought, most represented my values.<br />
<br />
I truly thought it was a movement. A movement much bigger than myself. <br />
<br />
He told me he was about bringing the country together. That it wouldn't be about Red States, or Blue States anymore, but the United States. He told me that he would bring hope and change to a nation seeking changes while mired in multiple wars.<br />
<br />
He told me how much he supported our allies in the Middle East, and would never allow the terrorist supporting regime in Iran acquire a nuclear weapon. He told me how he would stand for a new day in human rights around the world.<br />
<br />
He told me he would invest in America. Right here at home. He told me that a bunch of shovel ready jobs was going to reboot the economy. And he told me how he would make healthcare affordable, lowing my costs and allowing me to keep my doctor. And he told me that this would all happen as transparently as possible.<br />
<br />
He told me how he would solve the biggest problem - the melting of the glaciers and rising of the oceans. How he would make sure the air was clean and the World better for future generations.<br />
<br />
If you can't tell by now, these were lies. And I fully admit, I bought into them.<br />
<br />
Understand that this is what politicians do. They lie.<br />
<br />
So don't be fooled by fast talk. Or even blunt talk that seems appeasing. Platitudes will not save anyone. We have seen what 7 years of platitudes has riddled us with.<br />
<br />
Nor will more big government and crony capitalism save America. That is what has gotten us into such deep trouble in the first place. And isn't the Einsteinian definition of crazy continuing to do the same thing over and over again despite repeat failure? <br />
<br />
So think long and hard about where these people have actually stood. Where they have planted their flags and fought. Who they have worked on behalf of. Who they have donated too. What principals do they truly believe in.<br />
<br />
Because at the end of the day, even if your candidate wins, the legacy they leave behind could effect the thinking of future generations for years to come. And if they turn out to be an unmitigated disaster, they will become the example for many future generations to avoid following.<br />

<br />
Every day, it seems there is a new crisis. It seems almost impossible to keep up.<br />
<br />
Every where you look, you see destruction and mayhem.<br />
<br />
In Europe, scores of people are being raped and murdered. Certain religious groups have been intimidated to the point where many are fleeing. And yet, their Governments crack down <u>on their own people</u>. It's disgusting that the civilized world would turn on itself - allowing itself to being invaded - while meanwhile covering up for these lowlife scum. <br />
<br />
But the World teetering doesn't stop there. If you look around to Jakarta and Burkina Faso, you see terrorists targeting everything that makes Western society great. Blowing up Starbucks and murdering tourists. It seems clear, from Paris to San Bernardino, Terrorists have figured out the formula to attacking the West.<br />
<br />
And how do we respond?<br />
<br />
By sticking our head in the sand.<br />
<br />
We have a President who see's nothing.<br />
Who feels nothing.<br />
Who can't even be bothered to recognize the fact that our troops surrendered to the enemy because he has given them orders to stand down.<br />
Who can't even admit that by giving up these ships, we surrendered information on some of our latest warships to the enemy.<br />
A President who won't admit that our troops were held hostage at gun point and then used as propaganda.<br />

<br />
The question is, whose side is Obama on? Because clearly, he's not on the side of our troops. And so, it will only get worse. With even more attempts by foreign powers to abuse our troops. Just as an Iranian based military did in Baghdad did yesterday.<br />
<br />
Truly, Barack H. Obama has cemented his place as the weakest, and most feckless President, in the history of the United States.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We wish you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a year of devastation and brutal savagery, it's easy to focus on the negatives rather than the positive, and lose track of the good things around us that we should be thankful for. Sometimes these things are small, such as the drops of rain that helped relieved the drought here in California. Other times, you can't miss it - such as the return home of an American soldier from a Mexican prison. There are plenty of silver patches in these dark clouds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me and my family, I'm ever so grateful for how far we've come in a year. From nearly losing everything, to building a great life on the outskirts of the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, it's a radically different year for us. As hard as it is out here, I tell my children, it's a testament to what education can do for you when you put your mind to it. Now, I'm blessed with a job that I love, that fits my life and talents. A job that puts life giving electricity into homes across the entire nation - and a company that's put me on path to even greater heights. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never stop learning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God has given us all this amazingly complex brain,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we should be thankful we aren't animals,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or even vegetables - with no deeper thought process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So give thanks to the Lord.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Give thanks that he has given us all us gifts and has brought us to these times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because, for as bad as it may seem, we still live in a spectacular time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The issues of our world would seem so minor to pilgrims.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For them, death and savagery was all around. They didn't flee to America expecting it to be better than Europe. For them, it was a great endeavor, incurred at terrible expense of both personal effort and debt. All in the slight chance that it would be better for them at the end of their short lives, or better for their child.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to these great people, we are no longer pilgrims.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are American citizens.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's be thankful we have the Constitution and it's Bill of Rights that protects us,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's be thankful that we have the benefit of hundreds of years of freedom and innovation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And let us never stop using these gifts endowed by our Creator,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's our responsibility to act as beacons of light in these dark times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And most of all, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
never forget that our grandfathers and mothers fought and defeated the Nazis and Communists,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we could beat those Son of Guns, then we can beat anyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter what Hollywood may say, G-d is always on the side of the Righteous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Thanksgiving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It seems these days that journalism to some, has become confused with trolling. Instead of concerning themselves with the record for the folks reading or viewing, they concern themselves with their own feckless concerns.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Should the government get more involved in Fantasy football?<br />
<br />
That was indeed a serious question last night. Apparently, the goofy bin was wide open at CNBC last night.<br />
<br />
The best moment of the night, the moment that will be perhaps the most remembered, was when Cruz stood up and called them out.<br />
<br />

<br />
Enough is enough with these fools. I think it's long past time for conservatives to stop feeding these so called media sources. They are not journalists - they are propagandists intent on trolling to gain attention.<br />
<br />
Why? Why does the media protect the few instead of the many? Because they are just as much part of the "Oligarchy" they claim to despise.<br />
<br />

It seems last night was more than a debate, it was an embarrassing audition by CNBC hosts to jump into power through the political destruction of opponents.<br />
<br />
One of the interesting questions posed has always been, as a result of Citizen's united, if corporations are people. Well, look at CNBC. Look how it's hosting panel acted as a group. If you need proof that corporations are people with their own agendas, then there you go.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Such disgusting behavior and lack of ethics crystallizes the public's opinion that journalists and networks have their own agendas. So it should be no surprise that opinions of the mass media have reached historical lows - on top of many going bankrupt.<br />
<br />
Here is my question, for all in the Press who say there are "no assault weapons in the Constitution."<br />
<br />
What right do you have to use your platform to destroy the same country which gives you these rights?<br />
<br />
You may say, the 1st amendment. Well, there is no internet in the Constitution. There are a few old fashioned printed newspapers still, but everyone knows that is becoming rarer these days, much like muskets. There is no idea that every person would eventually be endowed with the exact same abilities to spread their thoughts as the Printing Presses. <br />
<br />
Maybe it's time we change the 1st amendment to require the Press to pass background checks, with waiting periods before each post/article for fact checking. We could force them to tell the whole truth, with deep fines, even jail sentences for uncorrected lies. After all, the Press advocates for locking up "white collar crime," why don't we start with the media?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14701957011108840329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936948387628188830.post-39828810997686325682015-10-21T14:57:00.005-07:002015-10-21T15:00:42.543-07:00A broken danceEven from the supposed Republicans.<br />
<br />
They feel content to keep trying to feed the America people lies, as if they are stupid. As if the American people, the people who have built the greatest civilization in the history of the World, suddenly don't know what happened just two years ago. <br />
<br />
And yet, it's the same old playbook.<br />
<br />
Just give us this, and jobs will flow like water! Just give in to all our demands, and magically unicorns will come down from the sky and heal the World. And don't forget, we need weekends off. <i>Because even though this is a serious time, that calls for serious people, serious people don't work on weekends.</i><br />
<br />
Please. We've seen this jig before, and it's time to cut the music. <br />
<br />
There are those in both parties - that want Amnesty at the cost of the American people.<br />
<br />
The Reds, like Louis Guitterez, hate America, and want to complete the transformation of it into a communist state. That he pushed for immigration "reform" with Paul Ryan, shows exactly where Paul Ryan stands in relationship to the American people.<br />
<br />

Disgusting. But it's exactly that reason that the Democrats have been pushing him, along with the RINOS.<br />

Enough! It's time to get rid of all of these frauds in Government that intend to pull the wool over our eyes. Enough of these liars who refuse to put the American people's agenda first. Enough of these fake Republicans, pretending to care about the Republic.<br />

<br />
But that is what this President, unfortunately, when we need him most, does.<br />
<br />
I watched this week, as a man who had the audacity to get up in front of the nation, and make proclamations before bodies had even been counted. His cold political calculations bare for all to see.<br />
<br />
He angerly demanded something that is not his right - to infringe on our Constitutional Rights to protect ourselves. The so called experts in the media are wrong - Obama isn't going around Congress, he's going around the Constitution. Congress doesn't have the ability to take away our rights any more than the President. If they want to do such a thing, they need to amend the Constitution.<br />
<br />
It's up to We The People to stand up and lead if others won't.<br />
<br />
That is why I was encouraged to see the strong turn out against the President as he arrived.<br />

Sadly, a man like that, in charge of the World's largest military is no joke. The situation in Syria has only spiraled out of control more and more thanks to the lack of leadership from Obama. Putin taking over in Syria has finally started to open some liberal eyes onto the realities at hand:<br />

President Obama, with all due respect, YOU are running your economy into the ground. It seems like every day, YOUR EPA puts out crushing regulations that strangle business! You've crushed our coal industry, and done everything in your power to raise energy costs - costs that directly affect the lives of every American. Often, those who are the poorest, and live in the most destitute situations are hurt the most by these. It's only because of American ingenuity and stickitivity that has allowed us to endeavor your terrible ideological edicts.<br />
<br />
The other point is just as silly - Assad isn't Russia's only ally in the region. Russia also has Iran, which is something that the President should be up to date upon.<br />

So, frankly, that is an outright lie by the President, and it's rather easy to spot, particularly with Iranian forces now helping out in Syria (about 7000 strong by some reports). <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Obama is increasing isolating our allies. Where we once had "moderate groups" to arm,, we now have just the Kurds. Who, I'm glad they would still consider us as allies - considering how much of a mess we made in Kobane. It looks like soon, we will be the one having to send troops in, in order to prop up our only ally.<br />
<br />
So while Kroft may, or may not have a different definition of leadership, one thing is certain - Obama by <b>his own definition</b>, doesn't have it.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14701957011108840329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936948387628188830.post-82832086373974486482015-10-08T22:17:00.002-07:002015-10-08T22:19:31.415-07:00Standing TogetherBen Carson has nothing to apologize for, once again.<br />
<br />
He's the one being called all sorts of names, being attacked by supposed "non-profit organizations" linked to terrorist organizations, but he is the one being called upon to apologize for his comments yet again.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Ben Carson said Thursday that Adolf Hitler’s mass murder of Jews “would have been greatly diminished” if German citizens had not been disarmed by the Nazi regime.</blockquote>

He is 100% right that if the German citizen's had been armed, the abuse by their Government would never have nearly been as bad. It's a fact that has happened not just in Germany, but in many countries when Dictators took complete control. The Nazi government wouldn't have continued, and enhanced, it's gun control regime if it wasn't for that purpose.<br />
<br />
The issue too, in general, was that the German people, and the Jewish people in particular, were not armed much to begin with. Many of the Jews were utterly destitute, living in stettles. And even if they were given a gun, probably wouldn't have known what to do with it. They may not have even lifted a finger.<br />
<br />
That is why we can't also ignore the most important thing in all this - the will to fight.<br />
<br />
We, as conservatives, love to point out the absurdity that guns cause crimes. They obviously don't - but neither do they cause heroics. You still would have needed enough people to stand up, and take those risks. <br />
<br />
And it would be daunting. Taking on a government, such as the Nazi's, would have been. So to be effective in any sense, they would have been to be well armed.<br />
<br />
That is why we must fight to make sure there are no restrictions on the right of self defense for law abiding citizens. We must make sure that no tyrannical regime ever decides to put us in boxcars without significant cost to them. <br />
<br />
That's why it's important, as Carson said, to get this out there. We need to be ready to work together to make the best of the situation. To understand where we are, and take on these challenges.

To lose innocent lives whose purpose is to learn, to educate themselves, to pull themselves up in this world - is something that should be mourned, remembered, and hopefully, learned from.<br />
<br />
I think too, it's important that we should talk about the heroics of those that saved lives, for once. Stop highlighting the killers and murders first, who only want the spot light - it only feeds into future copy cats.<br />
<br />
Instead, we are going to focus on the teachers and students who locked doors, and those that put their entire bodies in the way, such as Army vet Chris Mintz, we thank them for risking their own lives to protect our future. These are the people who should be talked about today -<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
As a gunman went from classroom to classroom opening fire on students
at Oregon's Umpqua Community College Thursday, Chris Mintz knew he had
to do something.<br />

When the gunman, Chris Harper Mercer, tried to enter the army

a safe place and said, "you're not getting by me."<br />

I want to thank Vey for hosting the streaming, he was a great host. I also thought it was great to get in a mix of different people, from the more known to complete anons. We definitely could use more of these events for more people to share their opinions.<br />
<br />
After sleeping on the many issues, I think it's important that we realize where we are at. The bottom line, for me, was, our enemies have kept going. They have not stopped.<br />
<br />
In fact, they have upped the ante by letting us know what their end game is - shutting down our speech completely. We know this because they went to the <a href="http://4life4freedom.blogspot.com/2015/09/league-of-clowns.html" target="_blank">UN.</a><br />
<br />
Clearly, they have now realized how to achieve that goal. By working within their political systems, they are pushing to get what they want. Basically, they aren't afraid to use their voices and their vote to improve their own political leverage - which many in this generation now have turned to achieve their objectives. I used the analogy last night to Black Lives Matter, however you feel about them. Look at how they have organized, turning protests into campaign. Now you have political candidates stumbling over themselves to make sure to appease. <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/martin-omalley-all-lives-matter/">http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/martin-omalley-all-lives-matter/</a><br />
<br />
If we want to fight back against this growing tide, I think we need to focus our numbers in the same fashion. Not tied to any political party or ideology, but rather an defined objective (or series of objectives) that we are working towards. <br />
<br />
I've personally, always felt that the heart of the matter is freedom of speech, freedom of artistry, that Anita and the like are trying to shut down. That's what I believe brings us ultimately together as GamerGate. I don't expect everyone to agree. Many people have their own feelings on this, but freedom is something that is simple, and that can speak to people across the World. <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We stand for freedom, they stand for control.</blockquote>
Freedom to create. Freedom to criticize. Freedom to debate. Freedom to be ourselves. <br />
<br />
From there, it's a matter of organizing. Having weekly online streams - and in world meet ups. Turning this into a movement that has a significant enough of a presence to be noticed. Perhaps our own collective website and message boards, so that ideas can even be batted around outside the view of the public, boards that can't be erased because someone doesn't like what is said.<br />
<br />
Also, if we call for ethics, then we have to have a certain level of ethics ourselves. I'm not saying, don't have a good time, what I'm saying is - we need to know when to be serious, and when it's ok to not be. That way, we can attract serious political and media types to our cause.<br />
<br />
If we do these things, truly focusing our efforts - it will legitimize us as a group into the future. Give us our own platform to help keep unethical journalists and SJW's in check.<br />
<br />
That's my opinion on what I believe GamerGate should do. Feel free as always to leave comments/suggestions.<br />

Thanks, in large part, to the Left, which continues to strange obsession with the organization. An organization once founded on Democracy and Freedom, but now, it has Saudi Arabia on it's human right's council. The absurdity of one of the World's leading abusers of it's own people plain to see. It wasn't enough that the first attempt at a central peace keeper body, determined to help prevent wars and help alleviate suffering around the World, failed utterly as well. The League of Nations, envisioned by known racist and KKK support, Democrat President Woodrow Wilson.<br />
<br />
And yet, here we are again, with the UN's braindead focus on made up claims instead of reality.<br />

In a report released yesterday, entitled <a href="http://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2015/9/cyber-violence-report-press-release">“Cyber Violence Against Women And Girls: A Global Wake-up Call,”</a> UN Women, the group behind last year’s <a href="http://time.com/3432838/emma-watson-feminism-men-women/">risible “He for She” campaign</a>, called on governments to use their “licensing prerogative” to ensure that “telecoms and search engines” are only “allowed to connect with the public” if they “supervise content and its dissemination.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In other words, if search engines and ISPs don’t comply with a list of the UN’s censorship demands, the UN wants national governments to cut off their access to the public.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
So, what sort of content does the UN want to censor? ISIS recruitment videos, perhaps, which lure women into lives of rape and servitude? Live-streamed executions from Syria? Revenge porn or snuff videos? There’s no shortage of dangerous and potentially traumatising content on the web, after all, much of it disproportionately affecting women.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Alas not. The UN is hung up on “cyber violence against women,” a Kafkaesque term that is apparently shorthand for “women being criticised on the internet.” At least, that’s how at least two attendees at the launch of the UN report, published by the United Nations Broadband Commission, explained it yesterday.</blockquote>
<br />
It's sad to see the UN members must go down their list of all the things wrong in the world and find online comments to be the cause of the World's problems, but it has now happened. It's even sadder than going down the list and complaining about Jews building homes in Jerusalem.<br />

<br />
<br />
The UN outright giving a platform to attack free speech and capitalism is not surprising. In most of these nations, they don't have freedom of speech and the Governments control the internet and media. That's why they deem it rational to criticize freedom of speech online - it's part of how they conduct themselves daily. To have a world outside of their control weakens their ability to control minds and bodies.<br />
<br />
And now, the statism is being accepted by the West. Spearheaded by none other than the Social Justice Warrior brigade we have all come to recognize as anti-GamerGate:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
According to feminist culture critic Anita Sarkeesian, who spoke at the event, online “harassment” doesn’t simply consist of what is “legal and illegal,” but “also the day-to-day grind of ‘you’re a liar’ and ‘you suck,’ including all of these hate videos that attack us on a regular basis.”</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Unable to prove that they are the victims of a wave of “misogynistic hate” – no bomb threat against a feminist critic of video games has ever been deemed credible and there are serious doubts about threats supposedly levelled at transsexual activist Brianna Wu – feminists are trying to redefine violence and harassment to include disobliging tweets and criticisms of their work.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
In other words: someone said “you suck” to Anita Sarkeesian and now we have to censor the internet</blockquote>
This is the PC culture reaching it's inevitable next stage. A blurring between the every day lives of regular people, with international politics, as it tries to silence it's critics. Gamers have now been thrown into the larger conflict. A World Wide conflict between freedom and oppression. <br />
<br />
Sadly, there are those on one side of history, those on the far Left in the West making common cause with those that spread Islamofacism across the globe, who both see free speech as a bulkward against their philosophies, in need of removal.<br />
<br />
Those on the other side might not like it, but this conflict has been trust upon us and our generation. <br />

What he's saying is brilliant - and right. He would not advocate someone who places Sharia Law above the US Constitution, and I completely agree. It's refreshing to here someone actual say what needs to be said.<br />

And even some on the Left understand this, those that know, first hand, the realities of Sharia law and it's practice.<br />
<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
The presidential candidate is talking against a backdrop of 9/11 and a reality in which political Islam expresses itself violently in the West and in Muslim countries from Iraq to Indonesia. <b>To me, not acknowledging this real issue among Muslims amounts to another Carson allegation, of Muslims practicing taqiyya, or deception.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Much of the modern-day debate dates back to 1977 when Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, a theological brain trust of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood political party, fighting secularism, wrote, “Al-Hulul al Mustawradah wa Kayfa Janat `alaa Ummatina,” or “How the Imported Solutions Disastrously Affected Our Ummah,” casting secularism and Islam in a cosmic battle, with a section entitled, “Secularism vs. Islam.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He <a href="http://islamicweb.com/beliefs/cults/Secularism.htm">wrote</a>: “Secularism may be accepted in a Christian society but it can never enjoy a general acceptance in an Islamic society.” Today, even ordinary Muslims ask questions like, “Is it permissible to pray behind imams who…promote democracy and secularism?” The answer from too many in Muslim leadership is no.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Carson dared to address an explosive issue that Muslims are still struggling to resolve on issues of sharia and fiqh, a related concept, referring to Islamic jurisprudence.</b> Not long ago, Ayad Jamal Deen, a former Iraqi parliament member and courageous intellectual and religious cleric, <a href="http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/4556.htm">admitted</a>, “In my opinion, the fiqh is more dangerous than nuclear technology.” He acknowledged that “Islam has been politicized and is used as a sword.” We would be wise to listen to advocates of secularism who have battled the forces of political Islam.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In his Fox walk-back interview, Carson said, “Now, if someone has a Muslim background, and they’re willing to reject those tenets and to accept the way of life that we have, and clearly will swear to place our Constitution above their religion, then of course they will be considered infidels and heretics, but at least I would then be quite willing to support them.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>To me, Carson’s words aren’t “anti-Muslim” either,</b> as a Guardian headline <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/sep/21/ben-carson-anti-muslim-comments-politically-profitable">described them</a>. <b>They are a realistic mirror on the challenges Muslims today face</b> with the notion of strict secularism.</blockquote>

Carson is truly a brilliant man - pointing out what needs to be said, as usual.<br />

<br />
The Leaders of the Western World prance around talking about Climate Change instead of the real issues that seem to be tearing our World apart. Rather than speaking up about the outbreak of brutal violence, that hasn't been seen in years, we see delusional weak willed blindness that is frankly, frightening.<br />
<br />
Some Catholics are even asking if the Pope is Catholic - that is a question I see floating around social media. Given the fact that he doesn't evoke the name Jesus at all, during his speech to Congress, I don't blame many. Nor is the Pope's promotion of Socialism at every turn. I completely disagree with the Pope - Socialism is anything but at the heart of the Bible. The Bible teaches individual rights - such as the individual right to property.<br />
<br />
Of course, what he has put forward, is a continued push for action on 'Climate Change.' As I've <a href="http://4life4freedom.blogspot.com/2015/08/modern-don-quixotes.html" target="_blank">gone into</a>, and has been pointed out at length in the New York Times #1 Best Seller <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Plunder-Deceit-Mark-R-Levin/dp/1451606303" target="_blank">Plunder & Deceit</a></i> by Mark Levin, the idea that the Earth is warming due to man made events is a fraud. The science isn't there to support such a conclussion.<br />
<br />
But even if one wasn't a man of science, as the Pope isn't expected to be, one should believe that the Lord is Supreme above all others? Should not the Pope believe that the Lord would not allow his World to overheat, causing the seas to rise and cities to flood. To believe that the Lord could overcome anything that man could ever do. Does the Pope not believe that the Lord is the Lord of all things?<br />
<br />
To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it." >Deuteronomy 10:14<br />
<br />
The Lord also said,<br />
<br />
"Be fruitful, and multiply. Fill the Earth, and Govern it." - Genesis 1:28<br />
<br />
That's everything opposite the "Climate Change" agenda says to do, and everything these de-growth primitives hate.<br />
<br />
<b>More children. More growth. More humanity.</b><br />
<br />
God commands us to do these things. That's why Catholic Church had traditionally been against birth control of any kind. Yet, Climate Change Alarmists hate all that.<br />
<br />
So, which side is this Pope on?<br />
<br />
I'm not a Catholic, but I can't help but look at this in conjunction with current events. Christians being slaughtered in the Middle East, being burned for their faith, even being locked up or fined here in America for their belief, I would have found these subjects close to Catholicism to be much more critical to speak out on now. Nor do you have him taking on the tough issue of Planned Parenthood, which is sin on top of sin on top of sin.<br />
<br />
No, instead, you have a Pope meeting with the likes of the Castro's, whose blood is still on their hands from enslaving their own country for years.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnaqHt9p339Cszffvpjk8XjVYQj2QE1LrElMmUlA6SSUCq76Q0VHMWcdR1m0KAlrCGRDZzSxOyAXVGXVTpwKIYicK0FIyE5ioLcPS97YdffmGz-9XMjW6BtJuuyaUaiYkSvP7MEyZeXTZi/s1600/1070%252BPope%252Barrives%252BCuba%252B0920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnaqHt9p339Cszffvpjk8XjVYQj2QE1LrElMmUlA6SSUCq76Q0VHMWcdR1m0KAlrCGRDZzSxOyAXVGXVTpwKIYicK0FIyE5ioLcPS97YdffmGz-9XMjW6BtJuuyaUaiYkSvP7MEyZeXTZi/s400/1070%252BPope%252Barrives%252BCuba%252B0920.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I believe it's embarrassing for this Pope, when people look back in the future, but I don't think it reflects on the faith. I think Catholics are wonderful, and have done great things for mankind. The amount of charity that comes out of the Catholic Church has been amazing, and has helped bring the World of Godliness closer to here on Earth. I would consider this another trial of faith - ready for opportunity for new Saints to emerge.<br />
<br />
I do think this is a reflection of the times. Part of mankind's growing pains. It's infected more than just one politician, it's infected a generation. May our children forgive us when they look back years from now, and ask "What where we thinking trusting in all these dictators and tyrants?"<br />
<br />
I don't know - but I would like to tell them that enough was enough. That we refused to give up Capitalism, because it continues to be the greatest engine for improving the Human condition ever invented.<br />
<br />
And that we, America, never lost sight of our <b>God given</b> right to liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness.<br />

To any parent who has had to deal with the modern American school system, you'll know that it's become absurd. Words and phrases like bomb and gun can land your perfectly innocent child in detention or worse.</div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br /></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
I know this for a fact, as one of my own children, who mispronounced the word "grenade" was sent to detention. Even though, he had no idea what a grenade actually was. <br />
<br />
In fact, at the time, it was a popular word on the radio, and my belief is that the kids who thought they heard it, were making it up just to get him in trouble.</div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SR6iYWJxHqs/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SR6iYWJxHqs?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br /></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
Oh well, we dealt with it as parents. My son, a proud GATE student, is doing just fine - and is at the top of his class.</div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br /></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
But, some people can't understand that this is what we have gotten from years of Zero Tolerance Policies crammed down our throats. It started innocently enough - an effort to protect our children. But it has become carried away - and our children no longer have freedom of speech or innocents as a result. Suddenly, a kid eats a Pop Tart in the wrong shape, and <a href="http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/7-Year-Old-Suspended-for-Pointing-Gun-Shaped-Breakfast-Pastry-195188861.html" target="_blank">he's suspended. </a>That's just too far.</div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br /></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
In any case, the rules are the rules as they stand now. While I disagree with the obsessiveness of them, there is no doubt that we have to all follow them until they are changed. <b>No one should be immune to them. </b>To not apply them just because someone is a particular ethnicity, culture or political bent - is to discriminate.</div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br /></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
So when the case yesterday of Ahmed broke, a 14 year old boy who decided to bring his "alarm clock" to school for a science project, it should be noted that he has no right to be treated special. <br />
<br />
The people saying he was "discriminated against" are not only wrong- they are also saying he should be immune to questioning, which is bad for the future protection of our children. Which is in fact, discrimination against the other children in that classroom. </div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br /></div>
And there is plenty of reason to question this device.<br />
<br />
Here is the picture of what was originally reported as an "<a href="http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/texas/article/The-Latest-No-charges-for-Muslim-teen-in-6508742.php" target="_blank">alarm clock</a>" :<br />

<span id="goog_563817453"></span><span id="goog_563817454"></span>Even upon my first impression, I have to say, it looks highly suspicious. As has been pointed out, it looks very similar to actual training materials.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1Z9ujDYWZIIzxGlnWHu2rwC3lzOb-7df8_MrxTpP3is4gMvEu3kiNOFJmm1dj_yOBjMYCeeg_9OLQpyTZKX-9hR0iMjiONmn0TnKevvN1k8lmDzpCeJiC1GbhuoXn95XKppGuXWzPVAi/s1600/Suitcase.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1Z9ujDYWZIIzxGlnWHu2rwC3lzOb-7df8_MrxTpP3is4gMvEu3kiNOFJmm1dj_yOBjMYCeeg_9OLQpyTZKX-9hR0iMjiONmn0TnKevvN1k8lmDzpCeJiC1GbhuoXn95XKppGuXWzPVAi/s400/Suitcase.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I do not blame the staff at the school for taking precautions solely on the exterior look alone. Once you see the wires and large timer inside a box, as well as the ticking noises it made, one might think it needs review.<br />
<br />
I for one, don't think it even looks like an alarm clock. I personally, along with my oldest son previously mentioned, have built clocks and robots out of simple computing parts - but ours never looked like this. They were small, compact, and fit on a desk like a normal clock, something like this :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglWCnu8fphkEXwMWN98bHTyxg22m1x0kL91s_MpMDRmIhP213JYffULLqLnVZMk9-I_AphiQbPrsRPBlDc-rkbIKMBUNS_NJUf9QzzO-dT7Mb_Qw6d9auh-70gVlN4I3vtzFeTjD24GayV/s1600/ea786d0ec1e14a1eb046e9e75ae23f67.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglWCnu8fphkEXwMWN98bHTyxg22m1x0kL91s_MpMDRmIhP213JYffULLqLnVZMk9-I_AphiQbPrsRPBlDc-rkbIKMBUNS_NJUf9QzzO-dT7Mb_Qw6d9auh-70gVlN4I3vtzFeTjD24GayV/s400/ea786d0ec1e14a1eb046e9e75ae23f67.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
One of my problems is that it's very illogical to build a clock inside a case. Once inside, one can't see the numbers on the clock. That's not really that smart - to be honest. No one opens a case to look at a clock. After all, most people have clocks for convenience. They carry them on their wrists, at the top of the screens on their phones, next to their beds at night.<br />
<br />
The second problem is that this child, when questioned, resisted answering the police questions about it.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Police say Mohamed <u>did not handle the interrogation well.</u></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The 14-year-old boy’s attitude was <b>“passive aggressive,” </b>according to officers on the scene. The cops also said Mohamed failed to provide a “reasonable answer” for why he had shown up at a school with a homemade electrical clock <u>in a pencil case.</u></blockquote>
<blockquote>

<br />
So, resisted answering police questions about it? No wonder they handcuffed him and took him away.<br />
<br />
In any case, he didn't stay there long. He was released after the police inspected the actual device. So the whining and gnashing of teeth is ridiculous. What, is the DOJ going to investigate the teachers for violating the kid's civil rights to bring a bomb looking object into school? I wouldn't be surprised, no matter how hard it is to fathom this going over too well with the Teacher's Unions. But considering they are inline with the party - they might just sacrifice a few of their own. Should be interesting to watch going forward.<br />
<br />
Do I think this boy deserves to be rewarded with a trip to the White House? Of course not. But to not expect it - particularly after the kid resisted working with the police - would be naive. This President is all for Americans being shamed into leaving themselves defenseless. And we can't let that happen - because schools have always been one of the juiciest targets of Terrorists.<br />
<br />
So while I think it's important to note that this is an overreaction ingrained in the system, we can't just let our guard down. Not now. Not during the middle of a war with terrorists.<br />
<br />
I would not be sorry to inconvenience a 14 year old student who made a bomb like object, for a measly few minutes, because I don't want to see something terribly tragic happening just because someone was too scared they might "discriminate."<br />

So, the other day, Markos Moulitsas founder of Daily Kos, finally came back up for air after the revelations that he had given platform to a <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/12/brianna-wu-chatted-to-terrorist-troll-joshua-goldberg-after-he-outed-her-as-transgender/" target="_blank">terrorist came to light.</a> To think they tried to pawn it off on the other side - like we don't have resources and the internet too - didn't last long. Perhaps Daily Kos should check to make sure their writers are legit first - before giving them a platform. Might come in handy in case they are, say, a domestic terrorist with multiple socks.<br />

As opposed to when he repeatedly shout things like never say "black on black crime" ever again.<br />

<br />
You gotta thank him for the warning before he tries to lecture us again with irrelevant numbers. Because, that seems to be his thing. He just spouts out some numbers like that will suddenly rationalize everything. Black on black crime is out of control in this country - but hey, white on white crime is 6:1! Ignorance must be bliss. Perhaps he doesn't realize most intra-racial crime is because simply of location - crimes of convenience and neighborhoods.<br />
<br />
In any case, let's see if he has anything here this time.<br />
<br />

Wisconsin Gov. and White House-wannabe Scott Walker is lying when he says President Obama is responsible for a "disturbing trend of police officers being murdered on the job."</blockquote>

<br />
All the numbers match between the chart and Shaun's numbers.<br />
<br />
There are two problems with this rather rudimentary line of logic.<br />
<br />
1. Shooting deaths are not what the candidates said, nor are shooting deaths the only way a police officer can be murdered.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, officers can die from many other terrible incidents, such as stabbings, vehicles used as weapons, assault, etc. By immediately excluding that, Shaun is basically admitting that he doesn't have the facts to support calling Republicans liars. So by doing so, he's committing a lie of omission, by not mentioned the rest of Police murderers committed under Obama.<br />
<br />
2. Overall, violent crime over the same period of time shows the same reduction levels.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
One could easily come to the conclusion that it's the American people who have changed in that time period. One would notice that violent crime has in general has been down since the early 80's.<br />
<br />
So what happens when you actually look at the current data, from the point when he started his vitriol?<br />
<br />
This.<br />

<br />
<b>A +9% year over just last year under Obama.</b> It should not be shocking that it is actually up this year to anyone paying attention to the news.<br />
<br />
It's clear to anyone with a brain, Shaun King trying to play games with numbers doesn't work. His numbers are not relevant to the debate, and it's clear the hate he has been spreading is now reflecting in the data.<br />
<br />
So, yes, you can lay the blame the instigation of these murders, particularly the executions of police officers, at the feet of Shaun King, Obama and Daily Kos. If they don't like that, too bad. They should have thought about that before they started trying to tear them down with every waking breath.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14701957011108840329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936948387628188830.post-62887344520221913882015-09-13T22:49:00.001-07:002015-09-13T23:21:34.339-07:00BlitzThis week, the World has watched the circus that has been the European "Migrant Crisis." A truly grand production - where Germany lectured other members of the EU to open their borders to refuges. Don't fear diversity - embrace it, and these people.<br />

<br />
Merkel, the messiah of Syria apparently, has been clearly the primary factor. You can hear it from their own lips, see it on their signs, and know that it was Germany. They just seem so ... peaceful!<br />

<br />
Now, those in the political class in Germany suddenly realized that the whole "open borders" notion is a bad idea because some of these people aren't really so nice.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
(REUTERS) Germany re-imposed border controls on Sunday after Europe’s most powerful nation acknowledged it could scarcely cope with thousands of asylum seekers arriving every day.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Berlin announced that the temporary measure would be taken first on the southern frontier with Austria, where migrant arrivals have soared since Chancellor Angela Merkel effectively opened German borders to refugees a week ago.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“The aim of these measures is to limit the current inflows to Germany and to return to orderly procedures when people enter the country,” said Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, adding that this was also necessary for security reasons.</blockquote>
<br />
Well, that was a big opps!<br />
<br />
But hey, Germany, at least your officials recognize that an open border posses an grave security threat, while the ones in the Obama administration can't. Odd, that. <br />

<br />
<br />
It's no doubt that recent events have the critics saying that Europe is reaping what it sowed, particularly Germany. Closing the borders may give them a fighting chance, but I doubt it.<br />

<br />
<br />
One can argue that the crisis is not over - even with a fence there. These people have it already in their minds to reach the promises of Germany and the wealthier EU states. <br />
<br />
If there is no European country willing to stop the war in Syria, allowing the mass genocide to continue, this could indeed be the death rasp for Europe, as it's unable to control it's own security. Unless the root cause is fixed, the problem will continue to overflow into Europe. I've said before, you can't count on Obama and America to save you.

I, for one, do not celebrate at their deaths. I don't think for instance, that all of them were terrorists, deserving of punishment. I see them as misdirected beings, just as confused as many others. They are the creations of G-d as well - his children too. <br />
<br />
Their destruction is not to be delighted in, but if this is His greater Will, then, so be it. One could take this as a sign of G-d's wrath, particularly since it happened on <u>this</u> anniversary of 9/11. I surely wouldn't blame them.<br />

<br />
I was still young yet, I didn't fully understand who had hit us or why. It was terrifying to see something destroyed I had come to recognize mostly through the silver screen. Someone, that day, had the chutzpah to attack us, the super-power in the World, and it felt like it couldn't possibly be true.<br />
<br />

<br />
But it was no movie - it was <i>very</i> real.<br />
<br />
We said then, never forget. Not to let it change us as Americans. If only we could see ourselves now.<br />

<br />
I've come to realize a great many things in moments, days, and now years since. About why it happened, and yes, what we need to do to stop it.<br />
<br />
The first is that terrorism knows no rest, no peace. It's constantly devoted to our destruction. It does not care for laws, borders or negotiation. It does not care who, or what, is destroyed or abused in the execution of it's malicious persecution. There is no point trying to negotiate with it. If we do not fight where it originates, it will not stop there, it will eventually come within our borders.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVZTGrgqWZiOfh3Me6-VyiP5uH4fJjrY6VqVG7PwcmNaJZCMqzRA7xk56I2gdrXwxBINZEwBzQmZZyPOTVqQjGsH31xS8PnpiwiK7C5hvzb2XBb8EwePauP3fUFu69os81_rSw1Uc7UvNL/s1600/chattanooga-presser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVZTGrgqWZiOfh3Me6-VyiP5uH4fJjrY6VqVG7PwcmNaJZCMqzRA7xk56I2gdrXwxBINZEwBzQmZZyPOTVqQjGsH31xS8PnpiwiK7C5hvzb2XBb8EwePauP3fUFu69os81_rSw1Uc7UvNL/s400/chattanooga-presser.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The second is that the root cause of terrorism, and why it's continues exist, is education.<br />
<br />
It starts by being ingrained into state education systems across the world. Even in countries where we have strong alliances with, the education system promotes the hatred of the West. And it's of course rampant in the region we are trying to heal.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
People don't realize it's part of everything - from school systems to morning kids shows. The effort to indoctrinate hatred is immense and widespread. It's why these people were willing to dance in the streets on 9/11.<br />
<br />

<br />
So long as there are those that will not conform to their beliefs- they will continue to hate us. But that is part of the problem with fundamental Islam in the first place, they will always continue to hate other religions until they are the sole religion on the planet left. That is their purpose they have to fundamentally fulfill.<br />
<br />
UNWRA itself has become nothing more than a tool. A reflection of the dominance of the anti-West faction that has now taken over Worldly organizations. They are not just promoting the same type of radicalization and jihadism, but being used as bases for terrorist activity. UNWRA even went so far as to return weapons to "the authorities," Hamas. That speaks to an overall sympathy to terrorism.<br />

<br />
And here in the States, it's often promoted instead of scorned, because of our own morally flawed educational system - which have become dominated by those willing to abuse their profession for the sake of social justice themselves. Tenured professors teach terrorists as equivalent to the 'Sons of Liberty' - the egregious revision of history turning many of those founders in their graves.<br />
<br />
So now, we have generation upon generation of millions of people who hate us even more. We are losing the war on Terror not just because we've been unwilling to fight it, but because many in <b><i>our </i></b>society agree with the notion. Just look at the 21% or so willingly nodding like a bunch of bobble heads at the thought of giving a <b>NUCLEAR WEAPON</b><b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>to the leading state sponsor of terrorism, Iran. Even if Iran doesn't use one itself, which is likely in order to keep a sense of plausible deniability, the chance of them giving a weapon to a proxy like Hezbollah, to say detonate in a Tel Aviv marketplace, is almost certain. <br />
<br />

<br />
And with such porous borders, where we have no clue who is coming or going into and out of our own country, we are just asking for the inevitable. At least Israel has border security, it has a fence, it has leadership willing to identify the issue, and it has the gall to make sure it's looking into possible suspects (instead of dragging a large net over it's own citizens). Our oceans can only protect us so long.<br />

<br />
If anything the last few years has taught us, is that the War against Terrorism isn't over, merely, it's going into the next round.<br />
<br />
It's a round that may seem like things are stacked against us. Where a lawless President, Congress and Judicial branch wants to stamp out patriotism and the founding principal of our nation : religious liberty.<br />
<br />
But we shouldn't lose hope - even when it seems even the government is stacked against you. Look at the Egyptian people, who finally had enough, and rid themselves of the Islamic Brotherhood. Sometimes, it just takes people getting tired of things and standing up, like Al-Sissi and those that supported him.<br />
<br />
On a more local level, we've had our own victories.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Yes, it's only one small fight, as everyone knows there is a great deal of work yet to do, but our communities have shown the resolve and planning needed to protect our rights as Americans.<br />
<br />
It's no surprise that new leaders and unexpected heroes have risen to these great challenges - including in foreign lands.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So, while yes, it feels like we are losing the war against Terrorism, and yes, our representatives seem to be failing us, it's not over yet. It's not over until we say it is. I refuse to believe Americans will let those innocent people in those towers, and those that fought for them and freedom in Iraq, die in vein. We will not lie down for thugs and tyrants.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Americans, no matter how many times you knock us down, we will get right back up. You're just going to make us that much angrier when we do.</div>

So I don't blame others when they are skeptical. There is nothing wrong with that.<br>
<br>
On the other extreme, one can't ward themselves off from the World - paying no interest outside their own bubble, avoiding any sources of media that could burst it. It leads to a ignorance of the workings of the World, <i>right or wrong</i>, and a dangerous gamble to ignore that which could very well come back and take an interest in you.<br>
<br>
One needs to find balance. A happy medium between believing everything one reads, and distrusting the lot.<br>
<br>
So how do we know what to trust?<br>
<br>
Well, I prefer using the same thing I trust in to find answers - the scientific method. When a particular organization or media figure theorizes a certain event will happen given their current political realities, it's fair to analyze the result of those predictions. It's well within reason to judge a media organization on it's accuracy, ability to dig deeper into subjects, and willingness to amend the record when it realizes mistakes.<br>
<br>
It's no different than looking at the record of an Sports commentator. Did he do well predicting the Win & Loss record of a team or conference? Did they predict the winner of a tournament or playoff correctly? Of course, it is simpler to check these things in sports because W's and L's are easy to see. The record in real life is more difficult to discern comparatively, but it's there - right in your face every day. That is where we see if these people are telling the truth. <br>
<br>
Fortunately for us, we also have the internet (so long as it stays free of government control) to help us judge these things on our own. We can see for ourselves what people do - we don't need a filter. It doesn't matter if it's the 47% video that exposed Romney, or the series of videos of MIT Professor Gruber that exposed corruption in the ACA, We The People have more tools than ever to understand what's going on in our Government and World than ever before. <br>
<br>
I happened to see first hand Fox, and majority of the media, go after the regular people here in Murrieta. I saw how they misconstrued one event into a smear campaign against the Tea Party movement. I don't support spitting at a person, but the real reason why it happened was never portrayed in those media sources.<br>
<br>
It was then, at a very personal level, that I realized that Fox wasn't out for regular conservatives, let alone real people, who I saw standing in that green field that day. Not watching on television, I was exposed first hand to the diversity of the people who protested. Many of them legal immigrants themselves. One would probably never have gotten that impression at all if one was not there in person.<br>
<br>
As a result, there are some organizations and people across both sides that I simply don't trust. It's not personal - it's business for me. I want the information that is relevant and coherent, even if it may offend or upset me. The more I was open to information from outside the MSNBC/CNN misinformation circle - the more I realized how much was being withheld or spun.<br>
<br>
The same had happened widely to my generation, Millennials. Our cultural World has been twisted across many platforms, including new media such as video games, and old media, literature. We have been betrayed, bashed and lampooned by our own generation, on digital forums of every sort. Even labeled on the more "serious news" as zombies of a dead era. Allowed to be blocked enmass by a poorly programed auto-blocker, which I might add is against the Twitter TOS, while their accusers gain large platforms on which to spread their slander. They have even been denied their rightful awards because 'social justice.'<br>
<br>
It's a crazy, completely mixed up world in which our generation now finds itself in. It seems to them that both the entire new media world is stacked again them, as well as the old, traditional one - telling them who they are, and what they have to believe. <br>
<br>
But we do not want to be told by anyone who or what we are. Particularly when it's not true.<br>
<br>
<b><u>I am an individual</u></b>. I demand to be defined by the content of <b>my</b> character, not by the tone of my skin, the color of my eyes, or if I like to play video games, or even if I believe in things you don't agree with. <br>
<br>
Telling me I'm dead, a has-been, racist, bigot, misogynist, un-scientific cave-dweller, a denier or whatever flavor of the day it is - does not go over well with me. It's simply not true - and no amount of media spin will ever convince me of my own feelings.<br>
<br>
It's sad that I have to say this, but it should be a pre-requisite for any writer to have both a way with words and a depth of knowledge on the topics of which they speak. And if they don't know - they need to find out. In which case, I like to see them exhaust every avenue of research. <br>
<br>
Breitbart has been one of those organizations that has ended up on the correct end of those predictions on a wide range of subjects. It's not perfect - no organization is - but it's the closest that I've seen. I find them as a conservative to be a pleasant oasis in a desert of incompetence and misinformation. One doesn't need to agree with everything they write, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that there is real talent at Breitbart.<br>
<br>
For instance, the piquant Milo Yiannopoulos, who has continued to wreck havoc on GamerGhazi's core instigators. He has done as any good reporter would do - he exposed some rather unscrupulous behavior (and I'm sure there is more to come). What has elevated him even more so - has been the way in which he has worked with the Gamer community of all political stripes, and helped form (perhaps inadvertently) the community's real world presence.<br>
<br>
I'm not saying that anyone should worship at his feet - merely realize he has been on our side. And continues to be there - giving us our own platform to fight back. We should appreciate it - and at the very least use it to our advantage. I'm sure Nero won't mind being "used" for his talents, particularly when it's for good purpose.<br>
<br>
It's clear that we haven't let the other side determine our fate. We have our own story to write here, and it's only the beginning. <br>
<br>
They know we are out there. We know they are afraid of us. They are afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here, to tell you how it's going to begin.<br>
<br>
Where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you.<br>

Is Obamacare anything like the Iran deal, as New York Op-Ed columnist Roger Cohen <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/04/opinion/roger-cohen-iran-the-obamacare-of-foreign-policy.html?smid=tw-share" target="_blank">suggests</a>?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The deal will become the “Obamacare of foreign policy,” Nicholas Burns, a
Harvard professor and former under secretary of state, told me. Yes, it
will. That is, something sensible (at least in the eyes of most people
across the world) to which Republicans will never acquiesce and which
they will try to use in every conceivable way to undermine a president
they loathe.</blockquote>
This is his argument. That Republicans attack something that "most people across the world see as sensible" for no other reason than because they don't like Obama.<br />
<br />
The second part? It's plainly not true. As you well may know if you read my blog, is just not true. There are of course those of us who voted for Obama, like myself, who have switched sides because the evidence of Progressive policy failures has become clear.<br />
<br />
And there are others, still Liberals, who disagree, like <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2015/08/12/obama-deal-supporters-shouldn-stifle-debate/xZ8PEJNcnKOsN5smh4M7XL/story.html" target="_blank">Alan Dershowitz.</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"President Obama’s characterization of opponents of the deal as a
collection of billionaires and war-hungry neocons is misleading,
incomplete, and unfair. The reason so many members of Congress have come
out against the agreement is their growing sense that it’s a bad deal.
The public agrees; polling has repeatedly shown that Americans oppose
the pact and believe that it will “make the world less safe.” <b>As a
liberal who opposed the Iraq war, </b>I share those doubts" - Alan Dershowitz</blockquote>
Ignoring that this is a true debate on real life issues that will effect the lives of billions, both alive today and in the future, is indicative of dangerous detachment from reality. These are real people, not just some talking points for the sake of debate.<br />
<br />
Nor is it the Republicans members of Congress (to go back to the first point) responsibility to be responsive to "the eyes of most people across the world." They have a responsibility to respond to their constituents back in the States and Districts they come from. They are the Congress of the United States, not of the world or any other foreign body.<br />
<br />
So, let's address Mr. Cohen's points.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Why has a disaster been averted? Because if the deal had unraveled in Congress, so would America’s standing as a global power.</blockquote>
Ask yourself, would it? Is our global power going to be destroyed from rejecting a deal with a 3rd rate power? Of course not. That's a ridiculous notion. Our power comes from our ability to project strength across the world with force.<br />
<br />
The fact that we have chosen NOT to show that force in the face of genocide, war and historical destruction, implies the Obama administration is simply not interested in expressing that global power. They have CHOSEN to stop the United States from being that global power.<br />
<br />
Have they not chosen to let Putin take Crimea and push into Eastern Ukraine without consequence? Have they not chosen to let China hack into our Government networks and build islands in the South China Sea without consequence? Have they not chosen to allow Iran to be a Nuclear Threshold State without consequence?<br />
<br />
The choices have been made, now we are having to live with them.<br />
<br />
By allowing these gross travesties, it sent a message to our allies and
would be allies around the World - you can't trust the United States. Choosing to not express that global power does more to damage America's
standing in the world than trying to do the right thing and making
mistakes because it's ceding the playing field already to the enemy.
It's allowing evil regimes "space to destroy."<br />
<br />
We have already lost the standing we once held, particularly with our closest ally who we've gambled their very existence. Instead of stopping the negotiation when it was clear Iran would become a threshold state, this administration put the entire World now in this precarious position.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Under Netanyahu, Israel chose not to launch a preemptive military strike
against Iran’s nuclear facilities when, from a diplomatic perspective,
it still could have done so — when the deeply unsavory and seemingly
unpredictable Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the face of the regime, and
President Barack Obama had not led the West into deep diplomatic
engagement. The prime minister threatened; he tangled publicly with his
own military and security chiefs, serving and retired; ultimately, he
opted not to act.</blockquote>
<a href="http://www.timesofisrael.com/since-iran-is-and-will-remain-a-threshold-state-has-netanyahu-failed/" target="_blank">Link</a><br />
<br />
This is the mess created by Obama's over-diplomacy - that attachment to diplomacy over reality. No disaster is averted with this deal - only delayed and amplified. There is actually something worse than war, <b><i>thermo-nuclear war. </i></b>We would only be putting off a minor military action today, for the very realistic chance of apocalyptic destruction.<br />
<br />
<br />
Back to the article from Mr. Cohen,<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Russia, China and the European Union would have concluded that the
United States is unserious. To negotiate over years a tough compromise
obliging Iran, among other measures, to slash its stockpile of enriched
uranium by 98 percent and its operating centrifuges by two-thirds, and
then walk away in a righteous and deluded funk — well, that’s not how
America won the respect of the world. It did so by being consequential
in hot wars and cold.</blockquote>
<br />
Instead of being honest about alternatives, he's trying to create an image of what the opposition is doing, while painting Russia and China as being somehow "serious." The broad abuse of power by those in charge of those two countries, who have been looking to make deals with Iran for years, makes that statement laughable. Mr Cohen might never imagine the other side desires a better deal and would be willing to go back to the table with Iran - because he probably doesn't converse with conservatives on the matter (or even classic liberals in general).<br />
<br />
The picture these partisans like Mr Cohen continue to try to paint of walking away is non-sense. You have to be prepared to walk away in any deal, or you will get taken. Ronald Reagan was prepared to walk away from the START treaty - and that <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/commentary/2010/12/on-arms-control-learn-from-reagan" target="_blank">worked out</a> very well for the United States. It's clear now in retrospect from Congressional testimony, going into the negotiations, Team Kerry wouldn't walk away. The administration's ineptitude in negotiation has made Iran a Nuclear Threshold State, which too has weakened American's perception of protecting the Middle East from a Nuclear Arms Race. And even now, there are efforts by gulf states to achieve their own weaponry.<br />
<br />
Basically, America's respect in the World is already shot. It doesn't matter if you blame Obama or Bush, the Progressive rhetoric has made that a fact in many minds. It doesn't help that Obama goes around saying how terrible Bush was, and how much a mistake the Iraq War was. It only exacerbates the situation and helps the propaganda of those that would destroy us.<br />
<br />
The other issue with this is the continued expression that the enriched uranium being reduced is the only material used in Nuclear weapons, or that we will be able to inspect suspect Iranian military locations to make sure this is the case. As Nuclear Weapon Experts will tell you, weaponizing Nuclear power can come from more than Uranium.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The importance of heavy water to a nuclear proliferator is that it
provides one
more route to produce plutonium for use in weapons, entirely bypassing
uranium enrichment and all of the related technological infrastructure. In addition, heavy-water-moderated reactors can be used to make tritium.
"<br />

<br />
Unfortunately, the Iranians have already built that heavy water reactor.<br />

<br />
Any notion that the measures Mr Obama and Cohen tout as somehow being able to stop Iran have gaping holes that Iran could use to continue secretly ramping up production. There is no way we will know because we won't have an adequate inspection regime, particularly at military locations.<br />
<br />
So cheering about reducing how much Uranium Iran has is like cheering about holding a football opponent to 50 yards rushing, only to get blown out of the game by 70. It's a pointless stat - meaningless compared to the untold abuse done by the opponent.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There was no “better deal” — the fantasy of all those who hate Iran and
hate Obama (which of them more is often unclear). The nuclear deal has
become “such a luscious piece of Republican propaganda,” William Luers,
the director of The Iran Project, whose goal is to improve
American-Iranian relations, told me. </blockquote>
This William Luers seems like the perfect person to ask - since he's paid to spread Iranian propaganda.<br />
<br />
From their own website:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This has caused some mainstream media to impose their biases on the news and commentary coming out of Iran.</blockquote>
So they, in their infinite ability to check the truthfulness of a subject, feel the need to step in and do so? Doubtful. Since it's run by people still inside Iran, and Iran control all it's media relations, it's a propaganda arm of the Iranian government. And yet, Mr. Cohen quotes him as an source for if there is a better deal or not.<br />
<br />
Doesn't sound legit at all. It sounds like first hand propaganda, and any rational person would see it as biased, at the very least.<br />
<br />
One last time from the article,<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Implacable hostility to Iran will be met in kind.</blockquote>
This is the absurd straw man that is this piece's foundation. There is actually a way to placate the conservatives - not let Iran get a nuclear weapon (which is where we were supposed to have started in the first place), have Iran agree to stop threatening their neighbors, and force Iran to comply with International Law. If Iran starts acting like a normal state, and there are ample years of proof of compliance, then maybe, that would become an option.<br />
<br />
But as it stands now? Removing the conventional arms embargoes and allowing Iran to become an Nuclear producing country is a threat to real lives. So long as people's lives are in danger, there is no way conservatives should ever stop opposing this egregious deal.<br />
<br />
To give a Nuclear bomb to an Iran intent on destroying Israel and disobeying international law an unverifiable pathway to the bomb, and saying that is in the interest of Israel's security interest, is utterly unpersuasive and frankly delusional.<br />
<br />
In summary, to compare Obamacare and this maligned Iran Deal, is only possible if one considers whatever Unconstitutional actions Obama is doing as being attacked unfairly. But since they aren't, and they are just part of a host of Unconstitutional actions by this President, it's a rather silly comparison.

<br />
That's right, Kim Davis, is a God-fearing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Davis_%28county_clerk%29" target="_blank"><b>Democrat</b></a>. Seems like a endangered species these days, but yes, apparently they do exist. Yet, her politics didn't spare her from the wrath of not fulfilling the will of the LGBT mafia.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A federal judge sent Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis to jail Thursday for
contempt of court after she testified that her religious beliefs against
same-sex marriage made it impossible for her to comply with his order
to resume issuing marriage licenses.<br />
<br />
"Today, for the first time in American history, an American citizen has
been incarcerated for having the belief and conscience that marriage is a
union of one man and one woman," Gannam said. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Following Davis' logic, Bunning said, a Catholic county clerk could
refuse to give a marriage license to a divorced applicant without proof
that the previous marriage was annulled, as church doctrine requires.</blockquote>
<br />
<a href="http://www.kentucky.com/2015/09/03/4018514_federal-judge-jails-rowan-county.html?rh=1" target="_blank">LINK</a><br />
<br />
Well, since this judge feels it important to jail this person over such an disgusting non-violent crime of following the will of the voters who elected her, perhaps it needs to be said where Bunning is misguided.<br />
<br />
If that Catholic county clerk were to deny marriage licenses based upon divorce, a straw man argument that I'll entertain, would be within their jurisdiction to do <u><i>so long as they hold office</i></u>. Doing something as ridiculous as blocking licenses over divorce would be something so far out of the mainstream, that it wouldn't be surprising to see that clerk lose in the next immediate election. The power, and right, of the voters to adjust our laws is part of self governance inherit in our Constitution.<br />
<br />
In this case, the overwhelming majority of Judeo-Christians do not recognize same-sex marriage. It's an overwhelming position supported not just by religious faith, but scientific knowledge of procreation in the interests of the State.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day, Kim Davis works not for "the Government," but for the people of Rowan county. The people of Rowan are the one's signing her check, who have put her in power, and it's their right and obligation to determine if that is the representation they want.<br />
<br />
The Supreme Court, according to the Constitution, does not make law - it makes rulings. The power to make law lies in Congress.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the
<span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">United States</span>, which shall consist of a Senate and House of
Representatives.</blockquote>
<a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec1.html" target="_blank"> http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec1.html</a><br />
<br />
So Kim Davis's objection to a <b><i>ruling</i></b> is perfectly legitimate. The laws of the States, of Nature, of procreation, of yes, G-d, can<b> not </b>be changed by the whims of the Courts, only in fevered dreams. It takes a man and woman to make a baby, and there is no amount of prison time any judge can proscribe that will change that.<br />
<br />
Sending Kim Davis to jail has only helped shed light on the abuse of power of the current Judicial branch. How it has given itself authority to dictate what the Constitution means, and now how it will use it to bully it's opposition.<br />
<br />
As people of faith, we know that this won't last. We have been here before. We have overcome worse. This is only the beginning of our struggle.<br />

<br />
How much longer can we turn away?<br />
<br />
How much longer can we avoid the painful subjects, or minimize the deeply disturbing into trite cliches. How much longer can we rationalize doing nothing as the cries of the innocent call out?<br />
<br />
The tumult in Syria shouldn't met such global silence, but yet it is happening. The cries have gone unheard for years. In the face of these growing atrocities, in Syria and elsewhere, the West seems unable to comprehend what is going on. <br />
<br />
<i>Perhaps it's because we lack a true leader in Washington with vision and a desire to help ease human suffering around the World.</i><br />
<br />
But we don't. We have Barack Obama.<br />
<br />
A man perfectly content to let the war spiral out of control. A man, who was supposed to be a Nobel Peace Prize winner, yet has done more to sow chaos than perhaps any man in the last 50 years. Never mind that he wants to arm up the IslamoNazi's in Tehran, and won't stand up to Putin and China on any of their human rights abuses or cyber warfare. It's clear to gather from the last 7 years, that Barack Obama doesn't see America as the super power it is.<br />
<br />
Without a super power in the world with a Godly moral compass - it's inevitable that the World will descent into Darkness once again.<br />
<br />
I pray that this will change. I pray that people will wake up and see! See that this World is spiraling out of control and every second leads us to deeper future tragedies.<br />
<br />
But I will not hold my breath. Let's pray that this <i>blindness</i> will not last any longer- but be prepared for the worst. Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14701957011108840329noreply@blogger.com
