<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">By: A. H. Pinley</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The day was September 11, 2012. Place was the United States Consulate Building, Benghazi, Libya. September 11, or 9/11 holds a lot of value for different reasons depending on what side of the coin you find yourself on. For me, the value of that day in our nations’ history as I’m sure I’m not alone in this realization that our country is at war with those that hate freedom and reminded me that our world is small place. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Our American ideals are not favored by those that use fear to corral their people. In fact, these terrorist or some may see them as freedom fighters feel that American freedoms are a threat to Radical Islam’s rule of law, Sharia Law. So that was the prime mover behind September 11, 2001 and the eleventh anniversary. Not some poorly done movie by a guy in California that is still currently behind bars for supposed parol violations or some demonstration that so happens got out of control. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This is the problem we as a nation face when our leaders, our higher ups have no experience in command or in charge of anything. Military experience is viewed as unimportant and if they do have military experience they use it as a tool to win re-election, but not as a tool to make strong foreign policy decisions. Anyone with any military experience would tell you to remain vigilant, and not get complacent. Complacency along with hesitation kills Americans. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">What causes the “Wizards of Smart” to call this attack anything else but terrorism? I get wanting to have all of your information in order before reporting on an event that took the lives of four Americans, but why run against our First Amendment Right? Why blame America first before our enemies? This administration and a majority of the Liberal Democrat Party (LDP) have made it their mission to destroy everything America stands for, because some how America is an embarrassment to them and somehow the Bible, the Constitution, our national colors rails against their true identity, they’re socialist. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It took far too long for the Obama Administration to get on the same page and call this act for what it is, an act of terror against America. Why such the slow response? Why was so much emphasis being paid to this B-Movie that mocked Muhammad and the religion of Islam? What does it matter? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I think it’s only appropriate to point out Hillary’s success. Besides how is success measured this day and age? Mrs. Clinton had this to say, “the traditional way of doing diplomacy was not good enough for the crisis the Obama team inherited.” And if we look towards her boss it definitely wasn’t measured by debt reduction, but that’s a different issue. Let’s have a look. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Under Hillary’s leadership as the Secretary of State, Iraq has not improved, Afghanistan is going back to Taliban control, Egypt is in flames once again, Syria is in the middle of a civil war, Benghazi saw an ambassador killed and the cover-up still carries on, Algeria, U.S. Embassy attacked in Turkey, not to mention Ahmadinejad </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; letter-spacing: 0px;">has went unopposed to build a nuclear weapon because he has a right to possess such weapon. What can be said about N. Korea? Under Obama and with Hillary, the world has not become less violent, but less safe. An Arab Spring. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Anyways, what does it matter? Secretary Hillary Clinton had what we can call an Executive Privilege handed down to her by no other than Obama himself by means of a stomach flu, which turned into dehydration, which led to a bump on the head, then turned into a blood clot in the brain, what are we to believe? Was Hillary Clinton, which is eying a run for the White House in 2016 need I remind you, withholding information that was incriminating and potentially lethal, politically speaking, for the POTUS re-election chances? Was Mrs. Clinton by request of the WH stalling long enough in hopes that the black eye dealt to Obama’s lack luster security and response to such an attack to lose steam? One is left to believe that to be the case, that out of Obama’s dismal foreign policy blunders Americans died on his watch. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Mind you, the B-Movie guy is still behind bars. And not much will be done to bring those in the WH responsible for such a breakdown in security to any degree of accountability. So using the same vein, Leon Penetta lifted the ban that kept females from fighting on the frontline. I’m totally in favor of the whole idea, but I’m not in total agreement neither.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Women have been serving in the United States Military in some form or fashion since the American Revolution War, but not assigned to actually being part of the frontline known as a Grunt or infantryman. Ever since this whole equality debate started in Washington, the word equal has taken on a new meaning. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">You see Washington has a way of framing the debate or their decisions on making people feel inferior to others. Envious, like you’re missing out on something big and everyone is in on it. Well my remarks may come across as sexist, but I’ll deal with that. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When then Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that the ban on women serving in infantry units would be lifted I think it were more of a feel good decision more than anything. No one in the united states is questioning the patriotism or love for country of women. Like I said this was a feel good move. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Do women have a role in the military? Sure, just not on a assault team. Doesn’t mean women are any less important or less patriotic than men, it just means they have other roles to fill for the over all objective, mission accomplishment. The military has two primary functions, 1. Mission accomplishment 2. Troop welfare and both of these things risk to be jeopardized in the name of fairness, equality. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I think it’s important to point out a few things. How would your body function if it were made up of nothing more than right arms? It wouldn’t. So is it safe to say that the left arm is as important as the right arm? The same can be said in this case. Just because women don’t find 0300 next to their name doesn’t mean they’re any less valuable towards the mission as a whole. Infantry can not function without the support element and the command element. Auto pilot works great for aircraft, but in a military setting not the case. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When we understand that things are not equal when it comes to talking about physical ability, but equal to when filling less stress related roles that pay great value to the over all mission, we’ll be able move beyond this phantom war on women only materializing under Democrat leadership. Men and women are not the same, no matter how much the mainstream media tries to convince you otherwise, we are not the same. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">No offense, but in my humble opinion women don’t belong on the frontline. God bless the United States and those that defend Her. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">By: A. H. Pinley</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Although it’s not all that new, we’ve had a season of redefining. Redefining everything from marriage, to what really makes an illegal immigrant illegal, to what leads people to committing violent crimes with guns (race and ideology), and the true nature of our free enterprise economy. Redefining in order to fulfill an agenda that will forever change the prospective of marriage, immigration, gun control and our economy. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Not all that long ago our Commander in Chief made a statement while talking to a group of supporters in Roanoke, Virginia that really rocked the sound byte world, “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that, somebody else made that happen.” </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Then the president proceeded to dig a deeper hole by saying, “because someone invested in roads and bridges.” Like roads and bridges make all of the difference. What came first, the business or the road? An age old question for the modern world. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The real vulture capitalist are among the Democrat Party, in example, Warren Buffet and CEO of General Electric, Jeffrey Immelt. How much does the average employee make at GE or how about those that work for Warren Buffet? It’s none of my business, but sometime ago Ole Warren made it our business when he came out saying why should he be paying less in taxes than his secretary? Well how much does he pay his secretary(maybe $200-$500 k)? And then again, none of my business, but Buffet was challenging the tax code. Mr. Buffet was not completely honest. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Well, you know Buffet pays himself a million dollar salary just so he doesn’t have to pay all the income taxes on the money his enterprise makes, but that is not my argument. My argument is the notion that the American Entrepreneur can’t get anywhere without the federal government or the consumer. Granted there may be a degree of truth to that, but the brilliant mind behind the idea was all their own. If an individual is able to materialize their idea, their burning passion into something that generates money, my hat’s off to them.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The president followed up with his statement in Virginia with, “They must think they’re really smart, but there are a lot of smart people.” I don’t think that is the thinking of those that come up with a good idea that society wants. I ask, where is the president’s experience in creating a product that society wants? It doesn’t exist. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Just yesterday (August 11, 2012), Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney chose Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate for assuming the duties of the White House this November. Many on the “Left” scoff at the idea of a Romney Administration to then top it off with “Throw Your Grandma Off The Cliff” Ryan, well that is just plain scary. Well I say electing President Obama to a second term is scary. No fear of re-election. Clearly hasn’t shown any ability to reverse the tide of debt. Sure many will blame the two wars in the middle-east and tax cuts to the rich, but truthfully the president doesn’t possess the know how to get America out of debt or he refuses to do the right thing. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When did profit become a bad word? Profit, then turned into investment or reinvestment comes in many shapes and forms. It can come in the form of hiring or simply giving an outstanding employee a raise in order to retain their professionalism or their hard work ethic. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Profits turned investment for the private practice comes in the form of new equipment and first class training so to be at the top of their game. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Profits also is a companies way of bailing themselves out of a tight spot without the aid from a third party or having to file for bankruptcy protection. Taxing corporations, big or small, mandating that they must pay the employee this amount of money and pay for healthcare eliminates their capital to where now they are more volatile to economic slow-downs. Placing higher taxes on the business owner only translates into three things, less hiring, smaller benefit packages for those that offer them, and high cost passed onto the consumer. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So with Mitt Romney’s choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate, we have two men that are more interested in saving America from economic collapse like we are seeing in Europe. Seeing that the Democrats have had their panties in a bunch since the 2010 mid-term elections, I expect to see more of the same attacks that really never deal with President Obama’s lack luster performance. I have never received a job from a poor man, so why push this narrative? To put American against American. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">By:</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">A. H. Pinley</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It’s hard to believe after four years in office that President Obama would still be allotted to use the “Bush Card”. Throughout the course of this failed administration things haven’t really gotten any better. For two groups the appearance of the changing tide can be misleading and damaging in the long run, but the President isn’t worried about the long run, he’s only worried about one thing, him. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The Liberal Left and the “Open Borders” crowd have assumed that all illegals are of latin descent. To assert that racial profiling will dominate while enforcing “federal immigration laws” is to believe that the police department is made up of nothing more than inherently racist by nature “white people”. In some precincts what are the chances of pulling over a person of latin descent? What are the chances of being pulled over by a inherently racist by nature white cop? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The problem here is, Liberal America, along with many so called civil rights groups have created this false and misleading image of those that have sworn to serve and protect. A white cop can not pull over a car of Latinos without civil rights groups and newspapers (i.e. Newtimes) calling it racial profiling. Are they not profiling cops themselves? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">With the latest ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on Arizona’s law SB 1070, the ruling was clear, the police have a right to know whom they’re dealing with on a lawful stop. The false image of cops just pulling over to a crowd of Latinos and asking for papers is false. And by activist groups reporting falsehoods in order to keep money flowing in from these “In the Shadows” people is in itself theft. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The same tactic was used by the Democrats to keep the black community in a modern day form of slavery. The federal government has destroyed the black family through means of welfare and no way out. Black civil rights activist such Jesse and Al have made millions off of the black community by keeping racism in America alive. At some point the individual has to be bigger than the activist that is calling you helpless or weak and vulnerable.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We have been set free by our creator and those among us try to keep those chains shackled around our ankles. One of those people guilty of creating and encouraging people to exercise civil disobedience and not to comply is the, well I don’t know how he would like to be addressed, President or Community Organizer In Chief. By the President coming out stating that the DOJ will not handle calls from Arizona pertaining to illegal immigrants and asking Eric Holder to watch the State of Arizona and their enforcement on illegal immigration has created an unsafe environment for the citizen and law enforcement. Looking for phantom civil rights violations in hopes to further the Alinsky style unrest, President Obama and the Open Borders crowd has taking over immigration enforcement. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">These Dreamers have been filled with an all or nothing mentality. They will become the new entitlement class that believes all is theirs. I support the immigration process, having to go through it myself. We cannot as a civilized society pick and choose what laws we want to enforce. We are a nation of laws and to grant permission for a group of people to sidestep these laws is unlawful and should be called out for what it is, criminal. Our immigration system is not perfect, but when you have so many in positions of influence and power telling those that are in the country illegally “it’s okay, I’ll not only make you some what legal, but I’ll make you lifelong Democrats.” Only more of this illegal activity will take place. So much for the letter of the law. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Today, on 28th day of June, two thousand and twelfth year of our Lord the United States Supreme Court found the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) found the 2,700 page law indeed constitutional. For America and Her exceptionalism, well that has been swept aside to make room for a bloated, more centralized government. For the supreme court to come out in support out of changing the argument that Obama was saying would be fine to nothing more than a tax is beyond the responsibilities of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court does not legislate from the bench, it is to interpret the U.S. Constitution without fear of public opinion, without political pressure or the image the court is cast in. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In 2010 when this massive piece of legislation made its way through congress a lot of selling of votes was taking place. Politicians selling their soul for the Obama Administration. The passing did not come without controversy, which was not out of line. The massive bill was not read by the majority of those that were to vote on it into law and it was not read by the Supreme Court Justice. We, the American people received this assurance from then, for good reason, Speaker of the House California Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi left us with these insightful words, “We must pass the bill to find out what’s in it.” You mean to tell me Madam Speaker, you don’t know what you just signed your name to? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Free healthcare for pimps, prostitutes, street corner drug pushers, for everyone, and oh yeah, even for the illegal (undocumented) immigrant. Free! Free! Free I tell you. The next great plan to drive down healthcare cost and make American more responsible will fund itself without increasing the taxes of the taxpayer. Yeah right.... </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The plan is so good that corporations were awarded exemptions and politicians are exempt as well. If it is such a great piece of legislation, then why didn’t President Obama not run on it up till now? Because it sucks. It guarantees Americans that what crap nanny legislation that is passed in Liberal California and Doomberg’s City of New York will now be imposed on the American People as a whole. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Obamacare isn’t freedom, it’s a way to channel the herd into one kennel, one option. It’s a way to create new laws in the name health by outlawing the use of fossil fuels or sugary beverages all the while promoting sex outside of marriage and for kids to explore different sex experiences with those of the same gender or of a greater age. This piece of legislation is nothing more than a gateway to a more restrictive bloated centralized government. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Covered very little by the always trustworthy news media was that on the same day AG Eric Holder was held in contempt and yes the U.S. Supreme Court shot down a measure that would have made it a crime to claim military awards that were not earned. Another slap to the face of all those that have served. A question to ask yourself when you step into that voting booth this coming November, are we more today as a people than we were four years ago? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We the people are the last great hope our nation has to offer. It’s long overdue for the American People to regain control of their government. The time is now to throw these bastards and bastardettes out of office, Democrat or Republican. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">What happened on July 20, 2012 in Aurora, Colorado at a local film house in many American eyes was viewed as a tragedy, but for those in the Liberal Political realm and in the always trustworthy investigative news reporting journalism agency this was a time to cast false characterizations and introduce new regulations across the board. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Like many on-lookers and those that experienced this heinous act of disregard for human life, we are left asking questions like, “Who would do such a thing?”, “Why would someone be so angry to do such a despicable act?”, “How long will the images in my head remain there? Because, I have a feeling the images of dead bodies, the fact of losing my best friend and the sounds and signs of sheer terror fill my head.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Instead of being committed to investigative journalism, Brian Ross and George Stephanopoulos of ABC felt they had enough to go on after 15 minutes of reporting this massacre to go ahead and blame the Tea Party. Both of these guys should lose their jobs over slander and not doing their jobs by gathering the facts before reporting. Measure twice, cut once. The truth is, we know as much today as we knew then. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Here is what we do know, James Holmes was a very bright young man that seem to have the world in his hands. Promising future in studying the brain. Going to a great college and very soft spoken. So what would set a bright young man such as this to snap? Mental illness(depression)? Drugs? Bored? These details will formulate over the weeks and months to come. So I ask, who politicized the shooting at Century Theaters, Aurora, Colorado?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The first thing many in the anti-2nd Amendment groups start shouting is, “If America didn’t allow private citizens to own guns, this tragedy would have never happened.” The same argument is touted by elected officials and amplified by the news media. An armed society is a safer society.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We here in the Great State of Arizona experienced a similar tragedy down in Tuscan last year at an event put on by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords named “Congress on Your Corner”. Jared Loughner, unlike James Holmes, didn’t have such a bright prospective outlook. Loughner, unlike Holmes showed signs of mental illness before his rampage that took the lives of six and injuring thirteen. Both cases can be argued were premeditated and exhibit having full knowledge of what they were engaging in.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">For roughly two solid weeks Americans all across the fruited plain have stayed up much later than they should watching the 2012 London Olympics. Cheering on the United States as we, the viewer, sit on the edge of our seats filled with anticipation thinking to ourself, “Will the U.S. pull out another gold medal?” </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Every four years we, the distant spectator, get to observe the summer Olympics and what could be seen as a mid-term Olympics, every two years the winter. This is a time for the many countries that make up the world community to put forth their best athletes to compete on the world stage. We witness meltdowns right before our eyes and on the flip side we see young athletes overcome the ever challenging, the ever so talented competitors become an Olympic Champion in their field. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Some call these athletes heroes, but I wouldn’t go that far. I would tell a young viewer that he or she can accomplish that level of success too, but if only they are willing to work hard for it. I would tell the young views, this is hard work paying off and for the most part, these professional athletes have devoted their entire life for this one moment. A chance to win an Olympic Gold. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The level of sportsmanship that is always on display is something we Americans very rarely see with our professional sports here in the States. Some would argue that the Olympics is unfair, because the United States uses professional athletes. Well doesn’t every country scout for the best athlete that would best represent them on the world stage? Somehow, some of these Olympic critics believe that the Olympics should be reserved for the amateur. Who would watch that? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Throughout the whole competition, the United States and China took the two top spots on the medal count board. China performed to perfection in the diving, the U.S., swimming with passion, but at the end of the day the United States took over the top spot on the medal board. For some Americas, seeing the United States at the top disgust them. While Americans all over the globe were cheering and rooting for America, you have those that would love to see America fail. How sad that is to hear fellow Americans hope and pray America doesn’t come out on top. The American spirit is not alive in all that live in the Greatest Country known to man. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In the end, the United States claimed the top position in the medal count. Americans should not feel shame for their success, nor should they feel guilty. Do you think Jamaica feels guilty at having the three fastest men alive on their track team? I don’t think so. The United States has set the standard in so many areas that we as a nation must not lower our standard in order to not offend. As of now, Jamaica has set the standard on the 100m and the 200m sprint. That gives Americans something to work toward. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">By: A. H. Pinley</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">On my soap box. Remember the days of America’s past when those that lived life only to go against the grain? The graining being living a life with high moral standards, principles. Well in todays society, going against the grain has taken on a whole new meaning. Going against the grain today would require man and woman to live their lives with high moral standards and yes, even raise their kids with the same standards in this world saturated with sex and violence. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">If there were a good old wholesome television show promoting abstinence, family time around the dinner table and the children coming clean with their lying or dishonesty, the show would be the subject of public mocking on shows like “The View”, “Real Time with Bill Maher”, and “Late Nite with David Letterman”. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Is promoting such standards, such as abstinence (which would save the individual a lot of grief later), tough love (instead of wanting to be the child’s best friend, be a parent), or here’s a tough one for many parents, even I, teaching your child how to be a good loser really all that bad? Losing isn’t the end of the road, but a basis, a platform requiring more hard work in the days that follow. You can’t be a good winner unless you’re a good loser. You must follow, before you can lead.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">One story that was being reported on last week was a mothers approval of her daughter having sex with her teacher just as long as it were under her roof. What is the mother thinking? Hey parents, we’re suppose to protect our children from these perverted animals. If he is sleeping with your daughter today, what keeps you from thinking that he isn’t sleeping with other minors? One last thing to add on this, where is the father?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Over the course of, I would say fifty years, the mainstream, pop media have tried their best to splinter the family unit. Putting in overtime to blur the lines that make up a strong family. Some have went as far as redefining “family”. Well, would you dare venture to say that Sweet-n-Low is the same as cane sugar? Not even close. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We as a society have allowed the American Family to be destroyed. As long as there are broken homes, what ever the reason, the government will have clients. We must not allow morally bankrupt souls to redefine what real moral principles are, a foundation. What Americans need today is to be reintroduced to moral clarity. Sure the move would be viewed by those dearly beloved in Hollywood as hate and going against popular belief. Do you think the majority of the American people like being in the gutter? Being force fed shows like, “Modern Family”, “The New Norm”, or “Grey’s Anatomy” that are geared towards desensitize viewers to the hostage taking of our moral principles. Non-compromising moral courage is what we need. If that means being viewed as going against the grain, then that is the way it will be viewed. Enough of this select moral outrage. It’s fake and misleading. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Here is an area that perplexes me, abortion. Keeping in the good nature of the second wave feminism movement of the 60’s, abortion somehow has become a constitutional right for the women. I’m pressed to say that those that embrace abortion as a constitutional right have been asked to compromise on responsibility on two fronts, themselves and the unborn child. Plan Parenthood and much of those on the Left would say that anyone that comes along trying to criminalize abortion outside of rape and incest are trying to stamp on the woman’s true freedom over her body. Today we hear this cry as the “War Against Women”. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Truthfully I ask, keeping in good faith with the abortion crowd would you say abortion is really a mercy killing or a honor killing? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">To close, I find three things in life that are worth fighting for, 1. Conventional Marriage/ Family, 2. The Church, 3. The United States. I suggest reading 1 Samuel 8. The United States is not like other nations and for good reason. We as Americans need to remember what America is about, not what we desire for it to be. The genie in the bottle complex. God bless our great nation and all those that defend Her. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">What is the solution for the crumbling education system? We all can say “School was far better when I was going to school than now.”, but kids are learning about bigger things these days at a younger age. So why is the United States not number one when it comes to education? Many would blame the Bush/Kennedy Bill “No Child Left Behind”, but I think it’s more than that. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">For many sitting on a education board, or working within the DOE (Department of Education), or those politicians that believe throwing money at something, like if they’re trying to buy love, will make the situation (education) better have missed the boat. Where did teaching a child good principle and a grade A education become secondary? Like many of the corrosive things that plaque our society today, for many the 60’s would come to mind, but I would have to say it goes farther back than that. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In the 1920’s Americans were introduced to a group going by the name of American Civil Liberties </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;">Union</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> (ACLU). A force for good? You be the judge. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Over the years leading America out of the twenties, our classrooms have remained the trial balloons for secular thought. Our sons and daughters (students) will be better served if the teacher were to only teach evolution. Then and only then will our classrooms be filled with the brightest and the smartest. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Our students (sons and daughters) will be better people in general if we take prayer out of schools, because of the “Separation of Church and State” argument.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We’ll start promoting more of a non-exceptional America by encouraging those teachers that wish to participate by not reciting the “Pledge of Allegiance”. For starters, because it mentions “Under God” and the thought of pledging allegiance to any country that would spend more on national defense than on education is not a great country in my book or worthy of me instructing my students to recite such a thing. “Not my thinking at all.” </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So, like the typical Liberal American thought pattern is to blame Bush 43 for the failings of the classroom. Blame Bush and only Bush for all that is wrong in the world and in the falling behind in education. Bush and the late Ted Kennedy had great intentions with their “No Child Left Behind” legislation. I think it’s safe to say, as adults we want to see our future(children) receive the best education possible, but a good education doesn’t always come with more money. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I believe the solution is three fold. The student has a minor responsibility both in the classroom and when they get home. They need to do the work and stay on top of it, but the main responsibility falls on the shoulders of that of the educator and the legal guardian(parent). </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Schools should receive funding for their programs by a results based standard, not equally distributed as to not hurt anyones feelings. Compete for the tax payers dollar. I believe our kids can receive a good education if the object of money was not the sole focus of the teachers union. Money was the issue in the Chicago Teachers strike earlier this month and who was hurt by the two week display of civil discourse? The students. The ones that need to be in the classroom. The ones that need a good education to get ahead in life. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Money is not the solution. Good teachers and parents work with their kids and the teachers are the solution. Give teachers back their classrooms where they can maintain control and rid the classroom of any disruptions without being threatened to lose their jobs or dragged into court only to be sued. Allow teachers to discipline, within reason, as corrective not to shame. If the teachers classroom doesn’t meet or surpass the standard then the educator needs to be put on notice. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">If the school is failing, then the principal needs to be put on notice to either produce a better product or look for another job. But the parents don’t get off that easy. The parents have an equal responsibility in their child’s success. The parents play a very vital role in their child’s formidable education years. Our children are the leaders of tomorrow. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Teachers need to act like teachers. Think back to why they wanted to become educators in the first place. It wasn’t for the money, it was for the children. Knowledge is power and you wanted to be the one that would help them(the student) realize that. I’m a firm believer in the public education system, but I also support the idea of a school voucher program that would create a competitive atmosphere for the tax dollar. Results based and our freedom to choose where our child gets his or her education. Education is an investment, not only with money, but with quality time. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">By: A. H. Pinley</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">December 14, 2012, the 25k plus populated town of Newtown, Connecticut was thrust into the news, though unfortunate, by acts of terror. Tragedies at this scale have a way of bringing communities closer together, but drive the politics that stemmed from this horrific event committed against innocence farther apart. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Since much hay has been made by the POTUS and those like minded thinkers in regards to supposed escalation of gun violence in the United States, is there really only one option to correct what had happened in Newtown? Is taking the guns away from law abiding citizens really the solution or restricting those rights? I don’t believe it is. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">How do we go from a society that not all that long ago would drive around town with gun racks with, in most cases, a loaded rifle in the cab of a pick up? In the 80’s the fall of our society would have been blamed on MTV, in the 90’s video games, 21st Century violent films. Well I think it’s a combination of things. I’ll just mention the two that come to mind, the family unit and pop culture getting the green light to redefine moral values. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">For those that say that the United States is a violent place, well crime has declined in all areas since 1990, till last year. What has changed? Poor economy? High unemployment? I believe the jury is still out on as to why, but I want to introduce a solution that is probably not foreign to those that think the way I do. This solution is not only good for the American school, but also good for those that take this totally volunteer course. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Educating the masses on violence in general is great, but that is to say there’re no bad apples in this fabricated utopian world that is trying to be created. Part of the solution to any crime starts with deterrence. Make the perpetrator rethink his or her move by making the target of high risk, i.e. heat packing teachers. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">After September 11, 2001, two things occurred, heighten security measures were put into place to assure Americans that another event such as was witnessed on 9/11 wouldn’t repeat it’s terror. Part of the heighten security measure was limiting what got onto commercial airlines, box cutters. Keep in mind flying from one destination to another is not a right, but a privilege. Another added protection measure in case a passenger with criminal intent slipped by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) were the implementation of the federal air marshall.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Which leads me to my point. Schools all across the fruited plains of America need to heighten security on their campuses. Now this decision should be left out of the hands of DC politicians and left in the hands of the state to decide what’s the best course of action to tackle this now present issue. Like first responders training, i.e. first aid and CPR training, an added tool to the educators belt will not mandatory but voluntary. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Whether people agree or not, the classroom control and the protection of students is the responsibility of the teacher. And the argument that they, they being the educator, doesn’t get paid enough to protect students, then find in your heart to protect a fellow human. Anyways, this course would run during the summer recess months and refresher classes will be held throughout the school year. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Three weeks of training with expert marksmen and women provided by active duty, prior military and off duty police officers running the participants through a number of shooting ranges at different distances and scenarios. Part of the course will be to familiarize the individual with the weapons that will be handled while attending, AR-15 and 9mm. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">A live stress course will be ran to monitor how the trainees handle themselves under pressure. After a brief obstacle course to get the blood flowing the trainee will engage targets from the prone, kneeling, standing, by method of single shot or double shot. This is a pass or fail event. It’s not a question of who wants to be John Rambo or Jane Rambo, but a question on who wants to maintain control of the classroom? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Instead of restricting American’s gun rights, let’s put in deterrent measures to make the criminal think otherwise. God bless the families of Newtown, Connecticut. God bless America and those that defend Her. </span></div>

<div style="color: #333233; font-family: Courier; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Terrorism: The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In the wake of the events that transpired in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday the 14th of December, Sandy Hook Elementary had just begun their school day when an unknown gunman that would later be identified as Adam Lanza forces his way into the secured school shooting and killing the school principal, school phycologist and twenty first grade students, ultimately leaving the surviving children and the community in a state of shock and fear.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Early reports came out that there were two gunmen, but we later discovered it was what Obama would call a “Lone Wolf”. Reports came out that Adam’s mother taught at the school and it was her “Kindergarten” class that was murdered, but today we are hearing that she didn’t teach at the school and it was a first grade class that was taken away from their families all too early and that Adam had issues with the school on an earlier account. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Why must the media get everyone all worked up by putting out false information on a breaking tragedy? I understand these news agencies want to be the first, but why can’t they say “Developing Story”? Why can’t they get their facts straight before reporting? Why must they insist that they be granted interviews with the families of those that were slain? Where is their humanity? Their ethics? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Nidal Malik Hasan, Jared Lee Loughner, James Holmes, Javon Belcher, Jacob Tyler Roberts, and Adam Lanza. All of these men carried out horrific acts of terror against innocents. Innocents, not in the term as being faultless, but not provoking the horrific act done against them. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The investigators will have spent weeks, months and years combing through what evidence they have been able to retain to meet their final conclusion on as to why these men conscience gave into their evil desires. Are these men an example of the human condition, products of a fallen world? Or are these men simply acting out as a product of their environment, their world view? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Reporting agencies and DC politicians feel that it is well within their duties to capitalize on tragedies committed by people with a firearm. It is always an excuse to advance their anti-gun agenda, because in their eyes, guns take lives. I say, they’re gun shy. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I would like to approach these cases from a different vantage point. I would like to ask questions about these men’s world view. How do they look at the world? How do they look at other people? What do they see when looking at life? Do they see a beautiful creation? Or do they see, beast that are filthier than all creatures that walk on four legs? We can bat around the idea that some phycologist will be able to trace this back to the increasing violent nature our world seems to be leaning to or I can raise the issue that these men value life as much as those that show how much the abortion lobby values life.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Our society is and has been churning in moral decay. Our standard of to which we are to live, has no base. We as humans have been granted permission to live life in such a way that we now become the ones that set the standard. We are allowed to decide on what moral standards are. That we are never to blame for any of the misfortunes that may come our way, because we have given birth to a practice of blaming someone else for our shortcomings or failures. So in saying that, like those before me in the news media that felt it was in their benefit to go ahead and blame Gabby Giffords assassination attempt on Gov. Sarah Palin, I would like to take this time and blame Detroit’s Big Labor for the violence that was committed in Newtown this pass Friday. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I’m going to play devil’s advocate for a bit, so bare with me. Though the loss of life in Connecticut, is very heartbreaking, so is the loss of life everyday by means of abortion. 1.2 million babies are terminated each calendar year. We can argue at risk pregnancies, but both you and I know most if not a great majority of them are the result of one, a lack of self control and two, a brutal form of birth control. So, it troubles me to see Americans all torn up over twenty kids when a million lives are not even awarded a chance to take their first breath in freedom. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Now back to the subject. A lot has been learned about Adam over the last couple of days. We have learned that he was a vegan, was very intelligent and his mother wanted to have him committed. Without a murderer in custody, we the rubber necker of society are left speculating over what made Adam snap. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Was Adam a victim of lead paint poisoning? Because we are trying to find a scapegoat for this mans actions. Maybe Adam saw that America didn’t really value life at all because of their cries to keep abortion legal, so why would Americans value these lives in Connecticut? Why are we trying to make Adam the victim here? Why are we trying to blame Adam’s mother? What purpose does it serve? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Be honest. What’s being asked of us here is, we need to look at all mentally ill Americans with a degree of suspicion. The mentally ill are really just mass murders awaiting the green light. And since only mass murders awaiting the green light want to buy guns, we’ll ask these Americans to submit or subject themselves to a sanity screening. The thing is, we’re all a little quirky, some more than others. Are we to believe that those with a mental illness no matter the degree pose a threat? Just give them enough time and the news media can spend days reporting on them. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">If only Adam were born today. Adam’s mother could have aborted him. With all of the advances towards having the perfect child, Adam could have been weeded out from conception. Surely the OBGYN would have picked up on the gene that makes people kill in cold blood. So really this whole thing comes back to Adam’s mother giving birth to him. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Enough of the blame game. We can attack guns and plead to have “assault” weapons taken off the street, but in Chicago, murder with a firearm still rules the streets. Bottom line is, when you have a society that has shown little value in the least of us, i.e. the fetus, how can you expect value for the rest of us to be extended? Obama and his pawns want to have guns taken off the streets, stricter gun laws, but the federal government can’t even enforce immigration law. I’ll say it again, being a father of two, the tragedy that was dumped on the doorstep of Newtown, I’d wish it on no one, not even my worst enemy. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">By: A. H. Pinley</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">With the 2012 Election looming, the mainstream media is busy creating the narrative and the real issues that matter to “We the People”. Some of these issues that the Obama media is pushing because they matter the most can be found in the Democrat Platform, i.e. labor unions create a stronger America, gay marriage, DREAMERS, federally funded abortion on demand (like it were some movie streaming to your television), religion sensitivity (unless you’re the Catholic Church) and bulletless Marines. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0px;">Liberals, with the help of the Liberal Media, you would believe the real issues that matter in this upcoming election is all the subjects mentioned above, but I think there’s more to it than that. Back in the early days of our young president’s presidency the justification for many of the actions being taken were explained by then White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, “</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."<br />
<br />
Well that comment says a lot, not only about Mayor Emanuel, but of Obama as well. You see Obama’s Democrat Party doesn’t hold a monopoly on diversity, they don’t hold a monopoly on compassion, they don’t hold a monopoly on freedom of speech, or on labor. America doesn’t owe the Democrat Party anything. America doesn’t belong to the Democrat Party. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; min-height: 15px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Liberal America tries to shame Americans into believing they are missing out on something. Something that our neighbors we fled from has discovered generations ago. Socialized living is the way to go, but if we look at the news that is flowing out of that region, they don’t appear to be too happy at this moment. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It’s as if the parent that at one time took care of every need and every want for the child said, “I’m cutting you off. Just can’t afford you anymore. It’s time to learn how to live on your own.” Of course that doesn’t go so well. How can I live, if I were never taught? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Under a Liberal agenda, poverty has gone up in the United States. Under a Liberal agenda, food stamp use has went up. Under a Liberal agenda, it’s harder to stay middle-class. Under a Liberal agenda, foreign policy is weak. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So, when a Liberal shoots from the hip by promoting the “Blame America” first mantra I take offense to that. Somewhere during the course of history, Liberal politicians, Liberal entertainers, and Liberal journalist had signed a waiver to release them from any responsibility of their fire brand work and inflammatory words. It is like their comments have a shelf life of 24 hours. The comments hold a significant value in shaping public opinion in a way that is destructive for the American Way. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> Liberal America doesn’t hold a monopoly on thought or on public opinion. They can only rely on perception through deception. Liberal America may look all peachy and inviting. They would go as far as claiming to be the “Big Tent” Party if they could, but they don’t like “Blue Dogs”. They are the community and national leaders that believe anything goes when trying to hold onto power. Sell your soul for four or six more years in position of influence. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This November I will stand on the side with the leaders that stand on the side of America and Her constitution. What we have here in America is like no other. Time to vote the Liberals out and show them that we don’t want it. </span></div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal">So is there still credibility in this administration? It appears that all of the speeches, press briefings and political grandstanding have come to a head. From Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, to Senator John “I’ve served in Vietnam” Kerry, can’t anyone in the Democrat Party take responsibility?

</div><div class="MsoNormal">WWBS? What What Bull Squish or better yet What Would Barry Say? Do I see another round of golf or another family trip sometime soon?

</div><div class="MsoNormal">For Senator John Kerry and David Axelrod to push blame onto the Tea Party shows their level of professionalism and maturity.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">The United States has a serious debt issue hanging over our heads and we can not find one serious elected official in Washington to confront our threat with any degree of professionalism.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Well here in few weeks our country will face default on its debt. The Commander in Chief along with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was at it with their scare tactics in hopes to confuse and further divide the American people. The United States is in no position, in my humble opinion, to ask for more credit. Coming from a man that showed coolness, a no worries attitude during the Democrat controlled congress, Mr. The Buck Stops Here failed to pass a 2010 budget. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The Commander in Chief wants to place blame or pressure on the shoulders of the wealthy, demanding that they pay more taxes. Keep in mind these are the job creators, ones that run business. If they see their production cost go up, you’ll see less people getting hired and price hikes for the consumer. Now over the last six months or so, the Republicans have put forth budget blueprints, The Ryan Plan and Cut, Cap, and Balance, only to be shot down by the Democrats, mainstream media, and fellow Republicans. We are not in position.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">President O’Bama’s plan, along with the Democrat party feel the only solution to our countries almost certain outcome, a down grade in our credit rating, is to raise taxes. The more money the federal government is able to collect is the more power they gain over the governed. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I support the Cut, Cap, and Balance approach. We need to cut spending, cap it and live within our means by producing a balanced budget. Majority of America supports a balance amendment. Even if we were to increase taxes on the wealthy, we still wouldn’t have enough money to tackle our debt. It will have to come from the governments end to lead by example. Tighten their belt, because we know the federal government retains its control through taxation and social programs. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I ask you, what voice holds more weight that of “We the people” or “I’m from the federal government”? Below I have listed the D.C. office phone numbers for the highly praised bipartisan group The Gang of Six. Please call and let them know America is in support of a balanced approach, not higher taxes. God bless our great nation.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

H. Pinley</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> “This is not a game. Debt has become a part of who we are. It's become that spoiled child in the grocery store with their lip stuck out: 'I want it. I want it. I deserve it because I breathe air.' And, well, that's an uphill climb in our culture right now, to go against that and say, 'Hey, let's be grownups here. Let's be mature, learn to delay pleasure, save up and pay for things.” Dave Ramsey</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">First the NFL and now the NBA, what will be next, D.C.? What direction will our nation go? Will we go the road that led to many nations in Europe went that broke them or will we do what needs to be done and bring to an end the out of control spending. Congress has at best two weeks to construct a bill that will cut spending and show that it will work on bring down the deficit, but the means of getting there is the issue. The President wants to raise the debt ceiling, plus raise taxes on the wealthy and the Republicans want to cut spending, plus lower taxes. What makes more sense, you be the judge?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I find it amusing to listen to sports lover defend how much an athlete makes, but despises how much a corporate man or woman makes. Athletes want more money for what? Don’t they make enough already? Well it is not up to me to say how much is too much, so why the same can’t be said about the job creator. Sure the athlete has created jobs, you have an agent, maids, gardener and maybe a driver, but no one is talking about the owners of theses professional teams. The owners have a business to run. They are not in business to insure every player that ever steps out on the field or court will be a millionaire. They are in the entertainment business and they need to make money in order to keep it running. If they were to separate themselves from every dollar they make they would be broke in one season. That is not how you run a business. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In the case of President O’Bama and his fifth round or sixth round or seventh, how rounds is this? On his most recent attack on the private sector O’Bama is stirring up emotions against the job creators, for what, because his nearly $1 trillion stimulus didn’t work? In 2006 then Sen. O’Bama voted against raising the debt ceiling, but now sounds like a good idea. The economy was better then, but I think he was just playing party politics. In 2007 the Democrats regained control of the House and Senate only to increase spending, these are the Blame Bush crowd that is saying the Republicans are obstructionist. What because we can not sustain this debt no longer?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">December 2010, O’Bama signed into law the extension of the Bush Era tax cuts. After all of the arguing that Bush 43’s tax cuts were the culprit of our nations decline, O’Bama extends them, because it was good for the American people. During that time he threatened the private sector that he will not renew them again as if the top wage earners were the only ones to benefit. The tax cuts were not only for the top, but for the bottom wage earners as well. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">O’Bama wants our elected to show more leadership when O’Bama himself should show a little more by showing more fiscal restraint. We Americans can’t spend our way out of private debt, nor can the government. Lower the corporate tax rates to draw more jobs to our shores and ask that our elected lead by example by demanding to cut spending in a serious way.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Only in the dictionary does success come before work.” Author Unknown</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">People call for cuts across the board, everything is on the table. One side wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, which I ask define wealthy, and the other side wants to cut spending and balance the budget. The problem we run into is how to get there? Who will make the cut? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">First allow me to start off by asking this simple question, when did Americans stop wanting to work or earn a living and began to dependent on the government for support by means of taking from others? It says in the Bible that if one doesn’t work they starve. We as private citizens need to make cuts as well in our own lives. That means get rid of the cell phones, internet, and cable TV. If you smoke, well right now would probably be good time to quit. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I find it alarming that on one side of the aisle we find them declaring war on the wealthy, the rich as if these blessed individuals took this capital (money) by force or at gun point, but they fail to see the economic impact they would have if all of a sudden out of nowhere decided to close up shop and bring their ball to another court. The rich need the middle class, and the middle class need the rich. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The Greenland shark would be legally blind as far as our standards are concerned, but God have given this mighty creature a much needed companion, a worm. Now this worm plays a very powerful role in this shark’s daily life. This worm feeds off the cataract like clouding that takes place in the Greenland’s eye, thus permitting the shark to maneuver around. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The same can be said about another mighty creature found in the ocean, found on the bodies of mighty hunters the Remora fish clings to the sides or underbelly of sharks, feeding on scraps and possibly eating bacteria found on the skin of the shark. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Taking into account the small creatures and the roles they play on the bigger players in the game of life, couldn’t we agree that the same can be said about those that feel they are less fortunate? In the Ten Commandments it say not to covet, and here’s society coveting others fruits. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">President O’Bama shortly after taking the Oval Office enacted an $800 billion stimulus plan that was to prevent unemployment from surpassing 8%. Well I guess the Czar in charge of that department used the wrong formula. The only jobs we are left to assume benefited from this small ($800 billion) amount of dough are the public sector government jobs, leaving the private sector to fend for themselves (i.e. shovel ready).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So heading into his third year in office we continue to pile debt on top of debt ($14 trillion plus), dish money out to colleges so they can study the drinking habits of college students, build squirrel suspension bridges and mating habits of the bark beetle, we can’t find places to cut money from? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We need jobs for Americans. We need to cut those from the public dole that are able to work, but not willing to work and yes they can find things to cut in the military, but not the size. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Where does the Astroturf ‘No Labels Party’ stand on the social issues? Pass a balance budget amendment, cut the size of government and lower taxes by laying out a clear proposal that will help eliminate uncertainty. These are things that were suppose to be taking place over the last three years, but I guess we’re still on our honeymoon. <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></div>A.

Drinking it up thanks to a man named Guinness and just having a down right great time, while Joplin, Missouri is acting out of initiative, because that’s what Americans do, to pull the community together. President O’Bama had to break away from a trip to make a camera appearance one week after the fact. Obvious the speech was not earth shattering, because the media is not replying it over and over. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">New jobs report came out last week showing that the economy is not as great as O’Bama would have liked. Most of the jobs created on the report were by McDonald’s, the company the First Lady is trying to get the toys out of the Happy Meals. So the unemployment rate ticked up to 9.1% and here are the Democrats trying their best to make themselves look good by blaming the Republicans for the up tick. Cut the uncontrolled spending, lower the corporate tax rate and then the jobs will come. But those greedy politicians want the hard earned money of the working man rich or middle-class. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It was briefly reported on that the American tax-payer stands to lose $14 billion dollars. This will be $14 billion dollars that will not be paid back used in O’Bama’s desperate attempt to save union jobs. There was one U.S. auto maker that did not take the tax payer dollar, and that was Ford. They showed they will weather the storm and come out strong and they did. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">The era of federally crafted parental controls finds another way to shut the parent out of their children’s life. Maybe the federal government should muster up some tax dollars and mandate all children under the age of 26 to spend their time in a plastic bubble and watch Richard Simmons 24/7. I find it funny and quite sad that we the people voluntarily vote away our rights to guardian or parent our children. The federal government is basically saying that we don’t know what we are doing when it comes to living our lives. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Recently in the City of Brotherly Love, some bright inspiring legislator thought it would be a great idea to start handing out condoms to 11 year old males, since a recent study uncovered that 25% of those surveyed were engaging in sexual activity. Like Planned Parenthood and their attack on the unborn, now we have a group that is encouraging kids, because that is what they are…kids, to engage in sex at such a young age before they even know and understand what love is. The parent(s) are the last to find out. When are parents going to put the boot down? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Common sense would tell you, which parents across the nation have abandoned and left in the grip of the ever expanding federal government to keep the parents best intention in mind when giving 11 year old KIDS condoms, that is what they are kids, posses a bigger problem than that of giving kids toys in the ‘Happy Meal’. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Now we turn our attention to The Center for Science in the Public Interest. A group made up of behavior control freaks that would want nothing more than having the toy in Happy Meals removed because it encourages obesity. This group wants to force McDonalds hand in removing the toy from their meal by means of suing them. I can speak of my own account. We child and I sometimes go to the Golden Arches for lunch. Of course the little one wants a Happy Meal. What is nice these days is they do offer a healthy selection for the child. We usually get chicken nuggets, apple slices, and milk. Now, that doesn’t sound too unhealthy does it? Well according to this group McDonalds is in violation of the consumer protection laws in four states and one district. Much like Obamacare is in violation of consumer protection laws. <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Parents know what is right (healthy) and wrong (unhealthy) when it comes to living. Parents know that if you give a child a box of hard candy, the child will eat the whole box. So what does a parent do when sending their child to school no long entails them playing dodge ball, tag or red rover? Should parents feel that their kids are now safer because the court system of the Great State of New York stepped in? People act as if you were to put foam bumpers up on every corner of the house and throughout the entire school a child will not get hurt. Parents are scorned if their child is caught riding a bicycle without a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads, but the child could fall off this two wheel machine and impale their eye on a stick. So are we going to require children in order to ride a bike will have to wear goggles? Absurd!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So in closing, it is not okay for kids to eat ‘Happy Meals’, but it is okay for kids to get condoms without their parents consent and engage in sexual activity. With kids being pushed to act in an irresponsible manner, then the results will reflect. Higher STD reports in later stages of the disease will wipe out a good percent of our youth. Bottom line, parents need not be afraid to parent. It takes courage and drive. God bless Our Great Nation. <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/City-Gives-Condoms-to-11-Year-Olds-119769714.html">http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/City-Gives-Condoms-to-11-Year-Olds-119769714.html</a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><u>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/24/mcdonalds-lawsuit-group-w_n_623908.html</u></div><div class="MsoNormal"><u>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6535954/ns/us_news/</u></div>A.

You saw me before I was born.” <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Psalms 139: 15-16</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Abortion! How would you describe abortion to a five year old that by chance heard the word in school? Would you attempt to put it in simple explanation form like “Wrong place at the wrong time” or “UNWANTED”? Neither explanation would give the child a clear picture of what abortion is. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You could take the stance that then Presidential Candidate Obama took in 2008 while attending a forum at Saddleback Church “It was above his pay-grade” or “wouldn’t want to burden one of his daughters with an unwanted pregnancy”. With that statement, not much hope for an unborn child exists. If you were to take into consideration the background President Obama has under his belt you would think he would be a strong supporter of life, but that seems to not be the case. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Many providers (Planned Parenthood) of this heartless practice also deliver new life into the world. Having had read some comments of some the abortion doctors, they feel no positive feelings about their practice or any sense of reward. Why be in practice if the work you embrace offers no sense of reward? The reason people pursue a career in medicine or the medical field is to make a difference. A passion is present that drives the individual to make a difference in society. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Abortion has been referred by some as a “necessary evil”. If the ones that practice this medical abuse feel guilty but stay in the practice for the money then doesn’t that say something? So is the encouragement of abortion really fought out of bringing in more money to a clinic since the legal practice of abortion is not done in hospitals?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">At one abortion clinic in Texas, every other Saturday of the month would perform anywhere between twenty-five to thirty-five abortions at $800 a pop, big money for ten minutes worth of work that took 13- week to create. Sure the clinic offers other services like breast exams, STD (sexually transmitted diseases), and family planning, but it is the abortion service that brings in the money. The other services were reported as to making Planned Parenthood lose money. <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">At one time before Roe v. Wade abortion was legal in the United States, but then deemed as illegal just to be legalized again by the courts in 1973. So the argument then was, why not bring this sensitive subject before the people of the United States and have a vote. Could it be that many politicians were banking on this so called land mark decision, backed by lobbying groups such as Planned Parenthood to keep the anti-abortion bill from ever seeing the light of day before the American People? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Just who is Planned Parenthood? Well Planned Parenthood has a dark creation. Margaret Sanger was an advocate for American Eugenics Society (Eugenics- forced sterilization) and founder of Planned Parenthood. She saw the poor and those with disabilities as “weeds” and “morons”. Even Hitler praised her work to the point of crafting most of his Eugenics work after America’s distasteful law. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In 1939, Sanger headed “The Negro Project”. Which I’m sorry to say was geared to eliminating the black population from the American soil. Sanger is not a woman for human rights, but just the opposite. <span> </span><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">How is abortion any different than let’s say…cutting or self mutilation? Abortion activist state that a woman has a right to do to her body as she pleases, right? Well for those individuals that want to cut or self mutilate have a right to destroy their bodies as much as a woman has the right “by law” to destroy the life inside her womb. The difference is in the case of cutting or self mutilation the individual is met with intervention by family and physicians. In the case of abortion, family is strongly encouraged to stay out of the loop and the patient is not likely to be well informed on what she is carrying inside her body. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">As of late legislation is being drafted that will require any abortion provider to provide an ultrasound of the unborn child as a part of the counseling process. Many “Pro-Choice” supporters say that this is an infringement of their constitutional rights. What to inform? To help the young, scared, pressured lady make an informed decision that will greatly affect the rest of her life? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Abortions are big money. Planned Parenthood made $200 million in profit last year (2010), while receiving federal money to run their mill. At a time of shrinking the belt of soaring budgets and de-funding programs that really aren’t out to promote a better America, Americans all across the fruited plains reserve the right to de-fund Planned Parenthood. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">President Obama’s healthcare bill funds abortion simply by providing monies to Planned Parenthood. If you are a woman or know a woman that is contemplating abortion or abandonment I strongly encourage you to call Project Cuddle 1-888-628-3353 or visit their web site www.projectcuddle.org. Help protect the miracle of life and bless a family that is unable to bare their own. God bless the United States and the Warriors that defend Her.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'- Ronald W. Reagan<br />
<br />
So the out of control spending comes to a head. No restraint, no concern. The federal government is on the brink of shutting down by the very work of their hands. It wasn’t the tax payer that created this gridlock. It was the unchallenged, unchecked spending practices of our elected officials.<br />
<br />
Many would argue that this is politics, or the way sausage is supposed to be made, but when does the spending stop. The federal government has made it their purpose to have their finger or stake in everyone’s pie, when they should focus on what their function should be, national defense, the creation of laws (constitutionally) and the defense of those laws, but the government has ballooned too big to even do the latter of the three.<br />
<br />
The federal government has put themselves in a position that the essentials in life are no longer mentioned. The federal government has placed themselves in a position that snares over 40% of our U.S. Citizens in a life of dependency on the federal government. For starters, dependency of the government is like slavery and secondly, these social programs are not tooled for Americans to stay on them indefinitely.<br />
<br />
Now that a group of politicians want to cut the trees back, a lot, another group of career politicians are crying foul. America is in deep financial trouble and it was of no concern for when the Democrats held majority in both chambers last year. The threat of government shutdown should rest on the shoulders of every Democrat, and yes even President Obama’s.<br />
<br />
The credit cards are beyond maxed out, and the Democrats want to apply for another card only to do the same, max it out. Some social programs will have to be cut, i.e. Head Start Program, free breakfast and lunch at school, certain Medicaid recipients and the list goes on and on. This was something the President said he would address, entitlements, but failed to do so. The President also said when taking office he would go through the budget line-by-line, but I guess he was too busy for that.<br />
<br />
So if when the clock strikes 12 midnight and the carriage and glits and glam return to their real form, pumpkins and mice, will Americans be doomed? I doubt it. Carry on with your lives and let the smartest people in America figure out that raising taxes still leave the Federal Government in a troubling situation. If they fail to address the underlining issue, spending, their can be no budget proposal or tax increase that will fix their problems. Last November America voted for smaller government and lower taxes, and that is what the elected that ran on those issues are doing, cutting the government down to size. God Bless The United States of America. </div></div>A. H.

Now that President Barack Obama has a record and can’t vote present, or has he, we will see the toughness of the young president that was hyped with so much favor. Don’t misunderstand me, regardless the person occupying the office I would continue to proudly serve our great nation.<br />
<br />
The Chief has no clothes. Then Candidate Obama, traveled to Germany to apologize for the United States in turn motivated the Norwegian Nobel Committee to consider the new President of the Free World for the Nobel Peace Prize. Remember Obama said he is a citizen of the world, so does that make him the president as well? I am citizen of the United States, not the world. I don’t live under the leadership of a world government. That very well may be Obama’s doctrine. <br />
<br />
Obama wanted to approach foreign policy differently than his predecessors. He didn’t like the cowboy approach and he didn’t like the ‘Exceptional America’ approach. Obama wanted to craft a foreign policy that would require the United States to take a more backseat approach. This policy was on display for all to see, even for our foes and potential foes.<br />
<br />
Obama wanted the world to see him as kind of like Cool Hand Luke. So this lead him to believe that being a more passive America would be a stronger and more respected around world America, but the opposite happened. Since Obama has telegraphed or exposed his hand, our nation’s enemies know what to expect out of him. Russia drew his inexperience out of him when during the Presidential Election Russia went into the once satellite state Georgia. His response to how he would handle the situation was viewed as weak.<br />
<br />
So now what we are seeing unfold around the globe is a world that harbors evil men that see America as no serious player in the world today. Obama is seen as no action till he has to react. In my opinion when you have to react, it is already too late. It is better to be proactive than reactive.<br />
<br />
I seriously believe that Obama changes his policy according to what is poll friendly at the time. Libya was intended to show Obama’s strength on corrupt regimes. Well how about Iran, Palestine or North Korea? Avoiding a lead role on the ‘No Fly Zone’ over Libya, Obama punted the lead role to France.<br />
<br />
It would be less painful and less costly if the Norwegian Nobel Committee would offer a Nobel Peace Prize to Gudofi, like what they did for Yasser Arafat in 1994. Or maybe all Gudofi wants is a Pepsi, just one Pepsi or beer summit. This would all hold well in Obama’s foreign policy roadmap for America.<br />
<br />
It strikes me strange that Gudofi went underground for many years, especially during Bush 43’s ‘War on Terror’. Now that America shows weak leadership he has resurfaced as a threat to world peace again? What would cause that? Maybe you can tell me.<br />
<br />
Now onto the media that built this president. They continue to say how courageous President Obama is by handling Libya the way he has, but pounced on Bush 43 for taking a tough stance on Saddam. The problem the news media is in today is they have invested too much resources and money into Obama. They can not allow his short comings or failures to be seen on the public stage. It is almost like they are saying “We’ve come to paint Obama’s mule.” Obama in the media’s eye is too big to fail.<br />
<br />
I do want to thank The Commander In Chief for adopting, begrudge, President George W. Bush’s foreign policy and his reason for keeping Club Gitmo open for service. President Obama has really justified President Bush’s actions in Iraq. If Obama’s actions in Libya are viewed as courageous and well thought out, then should we all be recognizing Bush for his unwavering leadership on the war on terrorism? The media portrayed, along with many Democrats, Bush mishandled the war, but yet we see Obama copy many of Bush’s practice.<br />
<br />
President Obama thought that it would be good for his re-election campaign to show off his toughness, and so we have Libya. It worked for Bush, why not Obama. Obama approached the handling with a no leadership role what so ever in case the campaign in Libya gets messy. Obama has compromised U.S. foreign policy. <br />
<br />
In closing, when committing troops to any foreign conflict at any degree you do so to win. Our men and women in uniform are too precious to be used in half ass ways. If Obama is doing this political jockeying for re-election it will not work and oh yeah, while you were out Mr. President, we took the liberty of changing the locks on the White House.<br />
<br />

Education is an exercise by means of which enough men, it is hoped, will learn to want what is worth having.”- Ronald Reagan</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I know it seems like many moons ago when then candidate Barack Obama was talking about how he was going to go through the federal budget line by line to scrap any needless programs, well did a budget come out of Congress last year for 2011? No they didn’t, they signed a extension to get them through I believe September, plus I guess it would be easier for them to plunge our country further in debt by spending money that isn’t there. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Unlike the federal government, states are required to operate within a balanced budget and the case in </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Wisconsin</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> is no different. Governor Scott Walker campaigned on reform and getting the state budget under control, well that is just what he’s doing. The same is being done here in the State of </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Arizona</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">. Now many “compulsive spending Democrats” would claim that the state that are asking for huge cuts are coming out of states that are governed by Republicans, but they would be wrong for thinking that, governors in California and New York are pushing for large cuts to their state budget.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Now onto the unfolding issue in </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Wisconsin</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> with the ‘Big Labor’ crowd. Everyone’s favorite VP, Vice President Joseph Biden said that “We all need skin in the game.” Now if I heard him correctly, that means labor unions as well, but labor unions are trying to get a pass on all these mandates that affect the budget as a whole. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Labor unions pleaded to get an exemption from participating in Obamacare, and now they wish not to chip in a little more for their great benefits. A friend of mine said that teachers don’t make all that much, but in the State of </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Wisconsin</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> on average make as much as I do. Plus how is the cost of living? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Now I do not want to come across as a man that is against the teacher union, because I do support great teachers and my daughter has one of them educating her. I feel that organized labor does not have the best intentions in mind for the employee or the employer and in this case it is the State of </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Wisconsin</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">. If the labor unions want to be more liked by the majority instead of being a “bully” that demands their way or the highway then they need to take a look in their trunk and consider a reform themselves, because they spend oh so much money asking the Democrat Party to their bidding. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The argument in </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Wisconsin</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> is that Gov. Walker is trying to destroy labor unions, but he is simply saying no collective bargaining at this time. Collective bargaining is like bipartisanship, both sides come to an agreement and in most cases one side is asked to compromise their principles in order to move the process forward. Gov. Walker stated that in order to get the state budget under control he will need for union members to pitch in more or face a massive lay-off. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I don’t know about you, but it appears that the teachers can careless where the money comes from. Teachers left the classrooms to ask the government to contribute to deficit spending, which is not a good lesson in economics. In order to save the organization, if it calls for me to contribute a little more towards my benefits and pension then I’m game. The labor unions do not create jobs, nor do they care about where the organizations budget lies. They fight for high wages and Cadillac benefits for everyone, but it is unsustainable over the long run. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">In closing, these labor union bosses need to go and allow the union be the strength of the business not the cancer. Profits are ate up by labor unions and not used for their needed purpose and that is for times like this, a slow economy. Big Labor needs to reform and think about the company they work for. If that company were to board up their doors one day, where is the labor union then, assed out of a job? God bless </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">America</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> and I pray that the protesters will come to a sensible resolution and not demand to have their cake and eat it too. <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">“Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.” <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Benjamin Franklin</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Following the news that broke Friday afternoon stateside, it took the people of Egypt eighteen days to force the sitting president that was re-elected in 2005 to step down and retire his powers to the vice president and the military. The military has come out saying that they will insure fair and free elections this coming September in which would have marked the end of Mubarak term. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">This is a big victory for liberty and people for freedom, but now the tough road in protecting liberty and freedom lies ahead. With Muslim Brotherhood wading in the wings, the People of Egypt need to set their sites on what is best for their nation. Muslim Brotherhood can be detrimental to the movement towards a country of free peoples. Groups like the Brotherhood will use revolts to usher in their ideology, phasing in their radical form of control, government, almost without the citizen knowing that the corruption is taking place. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">If it is a free country not pinned down by the fist of a heartless tyrant they want, then the Egyptian people need to be very careful on who they elect into office. If the people want to continue to have positive relations with surrounding nations then electing the right person is very important. They also need to consider electing cabinet members that will represent districts in Egypt, and not allow them to be appointed. Representation. <span> </span><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Should the United States have any role in Egypt picking their next president? No! President Obama misstep when getting on television broadcasting to the world that Mabarak needs to step down, when only a few short weeks prior praising this man.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I have said that the road towards a free nation will be rough, but worth while. Like in Iraq, Egypt may encounter resistance towards democracy. There will be those that will see their influence stomped out by this new hopeful way of governing and do everything in their power to disrupt this progress. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">If Obama wants to be of any help, he would be the needed support this country hungry for reform needs by supporting them behind the scenes not on television. Keep in mind, Egypt along with Israel are among the few strong allies we have in the region. With the latest news coming out of Pakistan, anti-America protesters will be encouraging Egypt to support their cause. Only time will tell if the vacuum created by the ouster of Mubarak will show signs of positive change or begin to look like what we saw in Iran. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">My prayers are with the people of Egypt. My prayers are for their courage to stand for freedom and not fall for shady tactics that will further repress them. <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.” Margaret Thatcher<br />
<br />
<br />
Man, woman and child set out leaving all that was familiar to them to come to a land that was untamed and filled with many unknowns. There are those that hate the fact that the white man came to what is now known as the United States to colonize and develop, but we have become a place where people aspire to be like. When I say “like” I mean similar. The United States is like no other nation on God’s green earth.<br />
<br />
Through the times of human history we have seen similar stories. One that comes to mind is when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt which you can read for yourself in the Book of Exodus chapters 5-13. Living under the hands of a tyrant was not living at all and that is what we are witnessing in today’s events. We Americans did it during the Revolutionary War 1775. The colonist had a yearning that is in all men, a yearning to be free.<br />
<br />
Many nations around the globe today find that element of freedom a foreign concept. I will allude to the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan a bit for my analogy. Think of freedom being a foreign food or candy. At first taste you don’t like or afraid to admit you like in fear of being ridiculed over becoming to much like those that offered the treat, but over time after being exposed to this foreign treat you begin to like the taste of it. You begin to notice all the flavors of culture and heritage that went into producing this treat called freedom. Not wanting this experience to end you want to have some for yourself so you can share with others knowing that they will respond like you once did, unsure.<br />
<br />
Freedom is mans every desire. We saw this reaction in 2009 with the re-election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The people felt that their voices were not properly considered, so they took to the streets to voice their outrage with the results. The people felt they were cheated by this tyrant, dictator and now wanted the free countries around the world to stand with them in protest, well where was the United States in matter? Obama chose not to get involved even after Ahmadinejad turned off all internet connections and TV broadcasting showing the riots in the streets.<br />
<br />
We are seeing people wanting to be free. With the continual development and unfolding of events in Egypt, Jordan, Yemen and Syria following suit, Americans need to support Democracy. President Obama did take an admirable approach to the issue, but his lack of American foreign policy experience left him in a bad position due to his past comments when he gave a speech in Cairo before winning the election in 2008.<br />
<br />
Allow me to use an example I learned when taking a class in world perspectives. When serving in the missions’ field you must allow those that give their lives over to Christ to worship the way they are lead to worship. We can not expect people in the Amazon to worship Christ like those in a Baptist church located in the Heartland of America. Freedom in Christ is what these believers in the Amazon are living out, so must democracy.<br />
<br />
All America can and should do is encourage the people of Egypt to demand fair elections this September. If they want democracy then they should practice it now. Prospective leaders or candidates should be groomed and vetted to ensure the peoples desires are met and free of any pressure made from terror groups that see an opportunity to capitalize on the situation. Egypt needs to hold elections that will elect a man or woman that best represents Egypt.<br />
<br />
How President Hosni Mubarak stayed in power this long, 30 years, is beyond me. Who elected him in the last 30 years? Mubarak needs to be a man of his word and not run for re-election, on the other hand appointing a president because he is a face in the crowd could also be equally bad for Egypt.<br />
<br />
Mohamed ElBaradei may be a Nobel Peace Prize winner, but does that make him president material? If he truly believes in a free democratic Egypt then he needs to show a degree of tolerance to Israel and that he is willing to allow the sitting president to finish out his term, which ends in September. Then and only then if the electing body of Egypt concludes that he is what they want, then the throne of the presidency is his for the time being.<br />
<br />
Freedom takes responsibility from all that enjoy it. Freedom can come at a cost that many do not want to put up. Freedom is still a foreign substance in many regions around the globe and America needs to be that model of freedom. My prayers go out to those that want freedom, but don’t know how to get it. My prayers go out to those that find themselves in leadership positions that require them to protect freedom. Man was created to be free, not enslaved or repressed. <br />

It's a tradition which dates, of course, from George Washington, but it has evolved enormously since the Father of Our Country gave his first report to Congress, in 1790.” Schlesinger, Robert (January 2011)<br />
<br />
Was this State of the Union Address Obama’s William Jefferson Clinton moment? During President Obama’s historical campaign for the Oval Office he said this, “Just words, just speeches”. Going through the motions but no real passion was on display. Dog and pony show, all caught on prime-time television. One more thing to check off Obama’s bucket list, rule a nation.<br />
<br />
I find it a great privilege to live in a nation that allows its citizens to watch and hear their elected president speak on live television. I also find it a great privilege to retrieve the transcripts of ‘The State of the Union Address’ on my computer and then further comprehend it.<br />
<br />
Tuesday night, January 25, 2011 was one of those days that we as a nation tuned into our local or cable channel to watch and listen to the 44th Commander In Chief address the nation. Listening closely to every word that communicated from the teleprompter before dropping out of Obama’s mouth I asked myself how different will this State of the Union differ from last years? Unemployment is still too high to show any real economic rebound and the housing problems continue to rear its ugly head. Difference is, Obama was not attacking the GOP every other statement.<br />
<br />
In light of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords strong recovery, our nation is known for its direct, face to face contact with our elected officials. Many nations around the globe do not share this right hard fought right. So debate will continue regardless how the Left Wing try to spin the media and yes civil debate is healthy.<br />
<br />
President Obama mentioned that, “At stake right now is not who wins the next election -– after all, we just had an election.” But it seems to me that he is not a student of his own words. He is in full throttle election mode and only picking up speed. Any word yet on his birth certificate?<br />
<br />
Obama, “It’s whether we sustain the leadership that has made America not just a place on a map, but the light to the world.” Again, Obama is not a student of his own words. Before taking office he bad mouthed America and continued to due so after his Inaugural. Sitting a church for what twenty years with the message structured around how ‘White America’ has robbed the world of its wealth. It doesn’t sound like a healthy message to hang your hat on to me, let alone a philosophy of principles to govern by.<br />
<br />
June 2009, modern-day recession ended and recovery began. During the latest State of the Union Obama touts that the recession is over and the market is roaring back, but he stated that the market will not be used as an approval index and we seen the market take a hit Friday, January 28th due to the unrest in Egypt. We are still in a recession. People are still losing jobs in great numbers and houses are still being foreclosed on in record amounts.<br />
<br />
Obama likes to say progress is measured by the progress of the American people, but wants to confiscate hard working Americans wealth. I don’t know what to believe about Obama, will he punish the hard workers and reward the loafers? I don’t know, but it sure does sound like it taking into account the words that dressed the pages of his two books.<br />
<br />
Everyone would like a good paying job, now more than ever, but it is unrealistic to think that it would only be fair if everyone made the same amount on money. It is like saying that it would only be fair if the wealthy would pay more in taxes, and then again define “WEALTH”.<br />
<br />
If we as a nation of revolutionary ideas are going to win the future, government needs to allow the private sector do what it does best, innovate. The federal government is the one that sets tax rates for corporations not the corporation. If Obama would like to see nations around the globe invest in America, then he needs to show America that he is serious in bringing jobs back to our shores.<br />
<br />
Obama has a hard time cutting the budget by axing social programs, but has no issues of axing defense. Now in the defense budget we’ll find NASA. Well for many that didn’t know already, NASA is conducting there last couple of space missions. Will NASA be funded by private investors? Your guess is as good as mine. On the social program, in the Bay Area, doctors are conducting sex changes on the taxpayer’s dollar. Should the tax payer be paying for such procedure?<br />
<br />
Obama found it to be the appropriate time to attack Big Oil. You know how Americans hate Big Oil, but I find Big Government more of a threat to American Society than Big Oil. It is the federal government that has the spending problem while mounting record deficits, not the oil companies. I’m for clean energy, but I like choice and it is not the governments place to demonize corporations in hopes to gain lobbing support from Big Envio.<br />
<br />
For Obama to state that our education system is failing, he would be right. Every year we Americans throw more and more money towards education and still have children not meeting the standard. Is it the teachers or is the curriculum? Every school is different and this is an area I agree with the President. We should reward those teachers, those schools that excel at educating our children and put on notice that are not performing to standard. It’s not a regional issue. All teachers go to an accredited school to get their teaching degree, so they have the tools, but rather fight for more money in their pockets and forgetting who they are, an educator.<br />
<br />
College is expensive partly due to the professors. So when professors are willing to take less money then tuition will fall. I can only speak for the community college here in Phoenix, but we have a very good community college program. I wish that the community college offered more degrees, but I’m very happy with the community college system.<br />
<br />
Obama went on to talk about lobbying groups, when members of his own staff have resigned to take up the title “Lobbyist”. Like earmarks, Obama said last year that he would shutout lobbyist from the legislative process and the same was said about earmarks, but the evidence is throughout the Obamacare 2000+ page bill. <br />
<br />
It is funny to see how many at the Republican Presidential Candidate ideas Obama is trying to make his own today, tax holiday, simplifying the tax code and so on. How about creating another a program that would allow Americans to stay with the current Social Security Program or go to another program that will not be raided by politicians to suit their pet projects?<br />
<br />
It is always time to act. Why wait two years to create a spending cut budget, a budget that will reduce the size of government, and not reduce the saving of the American taxpayer. Obama says he cut taxes, but in reality he only kept in place current taxing levels, which in two years time plans on raising taxes.<br />
<br />
In closing, I am not in the position to grade the Presidents Address, but I can assure that we Americans do not hate people based on their skin color, race, or religion. This past year was sickening to hear how politicians’ character assassinates a movement, political figure or idea by using the word racist. If Americans can not express their opinion without being labeled a racist, then we have lost the freedoms that so many have laid down their lives to protect.<br />
<br />
May God protect and bless our Great Nation and the men and women that defend Her.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Today marks a very grim stake in our American History. </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">January 22, 2011</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> will celebrate 38 years of women being able to do what they will to their delicate bodies per Supreme Court ruling in the Roe v. Wade trials </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">January 22, 1973</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">. This stance that has been widely politicized has resulted in millions of aborted births simply for the means of birth control. </span></em></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Throughout the course of world history men have taken it upon themselves to terminate life as if of no value. American Soldiers witnessed the aftermath of horrid acts of a society that felt it was within their right to exterminate millions of Jews known as The Holocaust. In </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Asia</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">, </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">America</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> learned that millions were killed in </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Cambodia</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> for what is now known as “The Killing Fields” under the direction of Pol Pot. Not that any one of these terrible cases is greater than another, the sad fact is, how these evil dictators valued other peoples lives. <span> </span></span></em></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Though the number of reported abortions in The United States has declined along with the national birth-rate, we still witness the holocaust that has been declared on the unborn. Plan Parenthood on their home page promotes the termination of in their words “Mistake” with the morning after pill. Nowhere on their site can you find anything directing young ladies to hold on to their virginity till marriage or if you conceive life after having “SEX” then put the new life up for adoption. You would think this would be an option that many would want to explore. </span></em></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Just a few days ago a doctor in </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Philadelphia</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">, </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Pennsylvania</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> was arrested for the killing of newborns with scissors. With Liberal activist groups fighting to keep Roe v. Wade in power, we fail our society for allowing such unnecessary acts to take place. There are many Americans that are unable to have children that would love to adopt a newborn. </span></em></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Just last month here in </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Phoenix</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">, </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Arizona</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> the Catholic diocese disassociated the Catholic Church with a local hospital for performing an abortion at their facility. Though the fight for whom was right is long from over, one would think that medical advances are advanced enough to not run into the argument that the mother will die if we do not terminate the unborn child. Besides the unborn have no rights yet, right? </span></em></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-style: normal;">In closing, this shameful issue comes down to responsibility. As a society, groups that want to make it easy for individuals to wipe their slate clean by erasing their actions or justifying their unwise decisions have hurt our society. We are eliminating the future President of the </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">United States</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> or the next Michael Jordan or how about the person that discovers a cure for A.I.D.S. When will it stop? Where will it stop? Who will stand up and put an end to legalized abortion? </span></em></div><div class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-style: normal;"><span> </span><span> </span></span></em></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
