Take Power from the People, and the People Chant: “President Wonderful!”

President Wonderful, as Barack Obama is described by the Washington Post this morning, has shown emphatically by Day 64 of his presidency, that the United States is no longer governed by the Constitution that was bequeathed by our forefathers. President Obama has proven that we are no longer the nation that our Founding Fathers birthed just 233 years ago. The Founders rebelled against a tyrannical monarch. Barack Obama’s 64 day reign as President has shown that the President now has the absolute power to change America more than anyone thought possible under a government that was “originally” created and structured to give power to the people.

President Wonderful has turned “We the People” into “We the Sheep.”

What a pity that we cannot return our nation to Britian, which today has more feedom and better leaders than do we as shown by this “right on” video at The Anchoress.

Is This Poetic Justice for Billy “The Weatherman” Ayers?

The friend and Chicago neighbor of President-elect Barack Obama, William “Billy” Ayers has to flee to Canada to tell his sob story of how the terrorists in America are out to get him: The Star.com.

While writing blatant lies in his Canadian Op-ed piece, how can Bill Ayers expect that anyone will believe anything else he says? If a person would plan to murder his fellow countrymen, why would anyone believe any words coming from his mouth? If a person would tell his followers to murder their parents in the 1960s, why should anyone believe he is now a warm fuzzy-wuzzy because he is a grandfather? Fortunate it be for him that HIS children did not follow the teachings he taught to other parents’ children: “Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents.”

How rich is it to see this creepy man who was a member of a group that murdered policemen in the 1960s, now frantically call upon the Chicago police to protect him from a Fox News reporter? Did Bill Ayers think that “America is a great country”when he went to the very same polling place where both his friend Barack Obama, who wrote a blurb for Ayers’ 1997 book, and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan voted, considering that he, Bill Ayers, tried to destroy America and deny other Americans the right to vote by planning and executing 25 bombings against them, and attempting to kill American military officers. “America is a great country,” says Ayers, while stamping on the American flag, when all charges against him were dropped because of improper FBI surveillance.

“Our neighbors include Muhammad Ali, former mayor Eugene Sawyer, poets Gwendolyn Brooks and Elizabeth Alexander, and writer Barack Obama. Minister Louis Farrakhan lives a block from our home and adds, we think, a unique dimension to the idea of ’safe neighborhood watch’: the Fruit of Islam, his security force, has an eye on things twenty-four-hours a day.” ~~Bill Ayers from his 1997 book “A Kind and Gentle Parent.”

Bill Ayers repeats the vicious lie that Barack Obama told America in the Presidential Debates - that supporters at a McCain rally shouted “kill him.” That statement by Obama was a lie then and it is a double damnable lie now as it has been proven by all non-partisan attendees at the event, as NOT ONE HEARD IT! The only person who did hear it was the virulently partisan Washington Post “journalist” who made it up, and never corrected himself, Dana Milbank. And oh yes, Barack Obama, who was not there. (More Obama Lies)

American Terrorists and Obama friends, William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn were members of the Weather Underground, a group that plotted to murder Americans who were pro-America. Bill Ayers taught his young followers to “Kill all the rich people. … Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents.” When Bill Ayers escaped murder charges on a technicality, he gloated “Guilty as sin, free as a bird, America is a great country.” When the Attack on America happened in 2001, Bill Ayers applauded the success of Al Queda!

Hat Tip to Gates of Vienna

UPDATE: Now the Marxist Ayers is Capitalizing on Capitalism While There is Still Opportunity! Bill Ayers is a great American!

During the last presidential debate with John McCain, Candidate Barack Obama accused a Republican supporter at a Palin rally of shouting “kill him” when Sarah Palin mentioned Obama’s name. It was a lie, and a slur upon the good people who put their lives on the line to protect the presidential candidates, the Secret Service. Obama condemned Sarah Palin for not repudiating the “kill him” scream, but did not condemn the Secret Service for ignoring a threat to a presidential candidate. It is against the law to threaten physical harm to a presidential candidate, much less death! The Secret Service is being paid by the American people to protect ALL of the candidates.

Further investigation reveals that Barack Obama lied. He created a false story. No one, not Sarah Palin, not the Secret Service, not the local police force, not any attendees at the rally heard any threat to “kill him” from anyone.

There is one Washington Post reporter who claims to have heard the “kill him” remark that no one else heard. His name is Dana Milbank and he is a darling of Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC because Milbank is 150% in the toilet tank for Barack Obama. He wrote the about the “kill him” remark in a hit piece on Sarah Palin and has never retracted it, although the Post has closed down comments on his so-called reporting. Why should he correct his lie, as it hurts Republicans and that is what journalists are out to do, aren’t they? That is why journalists like Dana Milbank are despised! That is why no one believes media like the Washington Post anymore.

So what does the “In the Obama Tank Media” have to say about Obama’s false and outrageous charge? Not much, as they are too busy digging up dirt on Joe the Plumber, a guy who thought as an American that he had a right to question Barack Obama about his policies.

Who is Sally Quinn? For starters, she is not a “self-made” woman, like Sarah Palin. Oh no indeed. Sally Quinn is a “man-made” woman.

“Who is Sally Quinn? Someone who got her career in a decidedly different way than Sarah Palin.

“Who is Sarah Palin? Decidedly not Sally Quinn.

“Thank God.”

Let’s have some of that “Straight Talk” about the “condescending arrogance” of the liberal media and Washington’s insiders.

“The problem for Ms. Quinn and what she freely concedes she is part of (”what one would call the liberal media elite,” as she described it the other morning on the CBS Early Show) is that in the world of the New Media (not to mention the wired world of America) everyone — everyone — is on to how Ms. Quinn and her friends operate. Rank-and-file conservative Americans look at this old media campaign to destroy the life of Sarah Palin and remember what was done to people like, say, Clarence Thomas. They get it. They understand condescending arrogance when they see it, have a very real understanding of just who these Palin critics are and what they are really trying to do. By the grace of talk radio, the Internet, and Fox, they also know that the Bastille that was once the liberal media fortress has been overrun — and the key is in their hands. The once powerful ability of Ms. Quinn and her friends to set the American agenda has vanished, leaving behind a crowd of angry would-be power brokers with not much power left to broker.” (American Spectator)

The Mean Women Versus the Moms

Now that Governor Palin has publicly announced the pregnancy and upcoming marriage of her seventeen-year-old daughter, can we expect the attacks from Obama supporters upon the young girl to cease? I doubt it. The Palins and their teenaged daughter have been under unrelenting unfounded speculation which forced them to have to publicly reveal this personal information. See The Washington Post.

“The despicable rumors that have been spread by liberal blogs, some even with Barack Obama’s name in them, is a real anchor around the Democratic ticket, pulling them down in the mud in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their ‘campaign of change,‘” ~~A Senior Aide to Senator John McCain.

Reaching Out to HAMAS to Win the U.S. Presidency

Add this to the reasons Kerfuffles has already given (see “Black Hole in Dallas“) that Obama cannot be elected President of these United States: He offends Muslims. First he bounces two women from an audience where he is speaking because his campaign was fearful and or offended by their Muslim head coverings. Then his campaign brings on board a “Muslim Coordinator” to help with “Muslim Outreach.” However, the Muslims he is “reaching out to” are NOT your so-called mainstream Muslim-Americans.

According to today’s WaPo, he hired a Chicago lawyer, Mazen Asbahi to coordinate relations between followers of Islam and the Obama campaign. When the media inquired about Mr. Asbahi’s relationship with Jamal Said, Mr. Asbahi promptly resigned from the Obama campaign. Why? Obama’s Muslim Coordinator had served with Jamal Said on a board of a subsidiary of the North American Islamic Trust. It seems that the innocent-sounding trust, which owns mosques, Islamic centers, schools, and other United States real estate, was named in an investigation of alleged Hamas fund-raisers, which ended in a mistrial last year.

But I know he did - I read it on a bumper sticker: “Bush Lied, People Died.“

If Bush didn’t lie - who did? JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER … that’s who!

The news is out all over town. Bush never lied about the intelligence he received after the Attack on America. It was West Virginie’s good Senator John D. Rockefeller the Fourth, chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, who LIED!

Senator Rockefeller lied through his teeth when he said that the Bush administration “repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when it was unsubstantiated, contradicted or even nonexistent.”

Bush told the truth; Rockefeller lied. “‘Bush Lied’? If Only It Were That Simple,” by Fred Hiatt of the Washington Post proves it.

The 100% phony “Bush lied” story was concocted by Rockefeller to distract from his own prewar incompetence and failure to lead. The intelligence upon which the brand new President Bush and his administration relied was horrifically false. After eight years of the Clinton administration’s stewardship of the CIA and Senator Rockefeller’s overseeing of the Select Committee on Intelligence, we were doomed.

So … what else was left for Senator Rockefeller to do but to cover his sorry rear? He came up with the bumper sticker slogan - “Bush Lied” and the rest is a sad chapter of rewriten history, as many Americans believed Rockefeller’s outrageous subterfuge. Read the story at WaPo and weep. Then be man enough to scrape that lying bumper sticker off of your car. Here’s a new bumper sticker for ya: “ROCKEFELLER LED - 3000 DEAD!”

In a country originally settled by religious extremists from Europe, there are apparently Americans who are espousing the same type of hatred of other Christian religions that raged after the Protestant Reformation centuries ago. Who are these religious bigots and what is the religion they hate so?

These religious bigots are “America Haters.” Kerfuffles proclaims this to be fact because the religion they hold with hatred in their hearts is the only truly American-made religion. The founders of Mormonism, and a large number of present-day American Mormons are literal descendants of the Pilgrims and Puritans who settled New England in the early 1600s. The children and grandchildren of those original settlers in Massachusetts had religious dissent imprinted into their DNA, as in very short order they began joining up with the Baptists and other outlaw Protestant denominations. As generations passed some of the “wild ones” left the Methodists and Baptists to became followers of the brand new Christian religion of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. Both Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint leaders, Smith and Young, were themselves descendants of Massachusetts’ early Separatist founders.

Robert Novak writes about this religious bigotry in the Washington Post of today.

If you are one of these religious bigots, you need to ask yourself why. Is this bigotry taught in your “so-called” Christian church? When I was a little child, I remember the religious bigotry that was abroad in the land then. Even though I had never heard of the Latter-day Saint church nor the Mormons, I observed religious bigotry directed against Jews, of course, as they were not even Christians. However, the most intense bigotry was directed against the Catholic church, that is the “original” Christian church of Jesus Christ. The bigotry in those days was from other “so-called” Christian churches. Today, those same churches have deigned to co-exist with Judaism and Catholicism and now it is Mormonism they rail against, claiming it not to be Christian.

In reality, if you are one of these religious bigots, my educated guess is that you have been taught said bigotry by your preacher, pastor, minister or whatever title you give to the head of your congregation. These religious leaders are intensely jealous of the Mormons’ success in proselytizing and converting members into their religion. Even more galling to these Protestant leaders is that the Mormon church has no paid clergy.

That’s right folks. NO PAID CLERGY! Just like in the time of Jesus. And because of this, you have been taught lies about the Mormons; you have been taught to hate the Mormons; you have been turned into a religious bigot by your own “so-called” Christian church. To sum up: It’s all about the MONEY; money that some Christian churches fear losing to the LDS Church.

When buying the best in America, you are not necessarily buying the best, as America’s pampered pet owners are just now discovering.

Pet Food Claims Animal Lives

Pet food contaminated with rat poison has been linked to the deaths of at least 15 cats and one dog across the United States, according to The Washington Post

A healthy ten month old puppy, Lucy, died mysteriously after becoming gravely ill, which resulted in $8,000 of veterinary bills. When Lucy’s owner learned about a nationwide recall of contaminated pet food, she checked Lucy’s cans of expensive dog food. Lucy was fed on Nutro Ultra -"Nature’s Very Best Ingredients."  Lucy’s owner, a college student had always driven from West Virginia to Maryland to buy the more expensive dog  food, as it was not available near her university.

New York agriculture officials have tested several samples of pet food eaten by the sick animals and found them to be tainted with rat poison. The toxin in dispute is a chemical, aminopterin, that is not permitted to be used as a rodent killer in the United States, as it can cause severe kidney damage in dogs and cats. Great going U.S.! However … how did aminopterin get into cans of America’s pet food?

The FDA seems to be pinpointing its investigation at an  Ontario, Canada -based company, Menu Foods, which has  announced an extensive recall of  "cuts and gravy" cans and pouches, sold under 95 brand names, including Safeway, Wal-Mart and Giant. One possible route for the contamination is the company’s imported wheat gluten.

The total number of pets that have died or become sick is not now known, however there are fourteen confirmed pet deaths. The Web site http://www.petconnection.com has been taking case reports and is expecting that the number will be more than 500 dead animals.

Another dog, a 9-year-old toy poodle named Jasmine, of Easton, Maryland, suffered kidney failure and was euthanized. Jasmine’s veterinarian suspects her illness resulted from eating tainted Iams "cuts and gravy" dog food, another expensive brand.

With world trade as extensive as it is now, there seems to be limited protection from our own laws, such as banning a certain type of chemical, when those same chemicals are used in the third world and elsewhere, and imported into the United States to be used as food ingredients. Wheat gluten? Cannot we get wheat gluten from Kansas? Or is it a manufactured food stuff that Chinese labor can produce more economically?

I had an interesting experience lately, although in no way was it a dangerous one. I ordered some "Maryland-style" crab cakes from a high-end mail order establishment. Because the business was located in the Chesapeake Bay region, and they seemed to claim that the cakes were made of "blue crab" from Maryland, I assumed these were authentic Maryland crab cakes. This is what their catalog advertises:

Maryland-Style Crab Cakes

Sweet Blue Crab makes all the difference

The best known and best loved seafood delicacy from this part of the country is Blue Crab. There’s nothing that compares. That’s why we use only Blue Crab in these Maryland-style Crab Cakes. It’s the finest crabmeat available, prepared in the traditional manner to create perfectly seasoned Crab Cakes with a genuine Maryland-style flavor. Ready to serve in as little as 15 minutes. Your choice to deep fry, pan fry, broil or bake. Six or sixteen 2 3/4 oz. Crab Cakes.

Nowhere in this ad does it advise that the delicacy is in fact, made in Thailand. When I received the package, that is what I found written on the box. Even more contradictory was a written statement on the box that the crab cakes were made from authentic Maryland crabs by a well-known Maryland-based seafood company. Knowing that I would not have purchased them if I had known they were made in Thailand, instead of Maryland or Virginia, I was a bit perturbed. However, I immediately prepared them, and they turned out to be very tasty indeed and did seem to be authentic Maryland crab meat. I assume that shelling Maryland crabs is too labor-intensive for Marylanders to perform anymore. The hard crabs are probably shipped off to Thailand where the crab picking is accomplished and sent back to the Chesapeake where they are marketed as “Maryland-style Crab Cakes.”
