Then what makes me even more upset is the fact that when he gets back to Libya, the greet him like he is some national hero! What is this world coming to? Compassion for terrorists who have killed hundreds…this is really a step back for the free world’s War on Terror. Releasing a convicted terrorist on compassionate grounds is like giving terrorists a free card for murder. It is disgraceful and no human being in their right mind can have compassion on someone who murdered 270 innocent people.

Where was the compassion for the 270 lost lives?

“I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see this truth–that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writing, that ‘excet the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it.’ I firmly believe this. I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel; we shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our porjects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and byword down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing governments by human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest. I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven and its blessings on our deliberations be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business.” -Benjamin Franklin

“No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand which conducts he affairs of men more than the people of the United States. Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency.” -President George Washington (Inaugural Address)

“I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the gloom I can see rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth more than all the means.” -John Adams (in a letter to Abigail Adams, July 2, 1776)

“We have this day restored the Sovereign, to Whom alone men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and…from the rising to the setting sun, may His Kingdom come.” -Samuel Adams (in a speech to the Continental Congress, July 4, 1776)

“Is it not a saying of Moses, Who am I that I should go in and out before this great people? When I consider the great events which are passed, and those greater which are rapidly advancing, and that I may have been instrumental in touching some springs, and turning some small wheels, which have had and will have such effects, I feel and awe upon my mind, which is not easily described. Great Britain has at least driven America to the last setp, complete separation from her; a total, absolute independence.” -John Adams (in a letter to Abigail Adams, his wife, May 17, 1776)

“Whilst sun and moon endure, America shall remain a city of refuge for the whole eart, until she herself shall play the tyrant, forget her destiny, disgrace her freedom, and provoke her God.” – Rev. George Duffield (pastor of Pine Street Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, May 1776)

“If God be fore us, who can be against us? The enemy [the British Army] has reproached us for calling on His name and professing our trust in Him. They have made a mock of our solemn fasts and every appearance of serious Christianity in the land…May our land be purged from all its sins! Then the Lord will be our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble, and we will have no reason to be afraid, though thousands of enemies set themselves against us round about.” -Rev. Samuel Lanagdon (President of Harvard College, in address to the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts, May 31, 1775)

[All quotes taken from "Under God" by Toby Mac and Michael Tait]

Time and time again, Patriots acknowledge that this nation is under God. Our leaders today may deny that we are a Christian nation, but our Founding Fathers declare it in timeless declarations of dependence upon God.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Millions of Americans are turning out for Town Hall Meetings both angry and opposed to nationalized health care. However, Liberal Democrats still deny that a majority of Americans are against Obama’s Health care “reform” plan. Unlike these liberals, a majority of Americans are not fooled by Obama’s smooth talk and are really against nationalized health care. We have heard the horror stories from people in countries with Socialized health care, such as Canada (Obamacare Yay or Nay? The Truth About Canada). We have seen people from other countries come to our country in order to get the health care that they cannot receive in their own country. Yet, many people are blinded by the “great” President and his sidekicks’ rhetoric, to see the facts of the matter.

Seven Myths About ObamaCare
[A Dangerous Cure: Seven ObamaCare Health Myths by Stephen L. Bloom, Author, the Believer's Guide to Legal Issues]

Doctors start their careers with an oath: “First, do no harm.” Obviously, politicians don’t take an oath like that, because President Obama’s healthcare reform plan is the classic case of a “cure” that’s worse than the disease. But, tragically, misplaced belief in seven dangerous myths about the plan is deceiving many well-meaning people into supporting ObamaCare:

Myth #1: Everyone will have access to good healthcare.

It doesn’t take an economic whiz-kid to predict what happens when government gets involved in providing anything for free, or at a below-market price. The laws of supply and demand kick in and, next thing you know, more people want more of that thing. But, at the new low price, fewer people are willing to supply as much of that thing. So there is a shortage. And so there will be a shortage of medical care under the Obama plan. And when there is a shortage but prices aren’t allowed to rise, there is only one way to decide who gets the care: rationing. Some will get access to the care they need, but you may not.

Myth #2: Healthcare costs will be brought under control.

There is no economic or historical reason to believe more government entanglement in healthcare will lower the actual cost of providing the care. Yes, it is possible under ObamaCare for costs to patients to be lower in some cases, but that’s only the cost billed to the patient and it’s not the whole story.  As proven time and time again by the government’s massive involvement in healthcare through existing Medicare and Medicaid programs, artificially low costs to patients only end up driving costs to taxpayers higher and higher. Even the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office is warning that costs will skyrocket if Obama’s plan is enacted. Under ObamaCare, costs will rise and you will pay.

Myth #3: Healthcare will be fairer.

Right now, the vast majority of us get all the healthcare we want. We pay for that care out of pocket or indirectly, through medical insurance. We have a giant safety net (Medicare, Medicaid, and related programs) to provide care for our poor, our elderly, and our children. Still, under the current system, a small minority of people fall through the cracks and have trouble getting care. Under ObamaCare, everyone will have access to care in theory, but in reality, because rationing is always necessary in any economic system that won’t let prices do their usual job of deciding who gets what, some people will still fall through the cracks. But under ObamaCare, administrators and bureaucrats will decide who falls through the cracks and you or your loved ones may be arbitrarily forced onto endless waiting lists or denied the treatments you need, even though you have diligently saved and planned to afford your own care.

Myth #4: Patients will have freedom of choice.

The notion that patients will have freedom to pick their own doctors, treatments, and procedures under a highly regulated government imposed healthcare system is simply naïve. Freedom is the opposite of what happens in every centrally planned government-run enterprise. Over the long haul, ObamaCare will take away your rights to choose the medical care you want.

Myth #5: Our healthcare system will still be the best in the world.

America’s healthcare system has been so successful for so long that we’ve come to expect constant improvement. We’re accustomed to a never-ending stream of new discoveries, lifesaving advances, and miraculous treatments. But the driving force behind our astounding progress has always been the opportunity to earn profits, to be financially rewarded for successful innovation. Whether they know it or not, when short-sighted politicians like those supporting ObamaCare say “get the profit out of healthcare,” they are really saying “get the innovation out of healthcare.” Without strong profit incentives, you can be sure American healthcare will stop leading the way for the rest of the world.

Myth #6: We can afford ObamaCare.

It’s hard to get a handle on the cost of an ever-changing plan so big that powerful Congressmen and Senators just laugh when asked whether they’ve read it, but reasonable estimates of the cost of ObamaCare fall in the ballpark of $1,000,000,000,000 (yes, a trillion bucks). Our country is already in crippling debt, to the tune of $11 trillion. Businesses, municipalities, and states are already staggering under the weight of recession and declining revenues. Jobs are being lost and essential services cut. On the national level, our Federal Reserve is literally printing money in a desperate (and risky) last ditch effort to keep our economy from systemic collapse. Now is simply not the time to launch the most expensive, most complex, and most intrusive government program in the history of our country. You can’t afford it. None of us can.

Myth #7: Healthcare reform is our most urgent need.

Even if we could afford to spend a trillion dollars, and even if we had a reform proposal that helped rather than harmed our healthcare system, would it be wise to spend that trillion on healthcare reform? Our healthcare system is already the envy of the world. Our life expectancies are already the longest they’ve ever been. We are already among the healthiest people ever to walk the planet earth. Meanwhile, children in other parts of the world are dying for lack of the most basic vaccines and medicines. Others subsist without decent shelter or adequate nutrition. At home, our own cities are increasingly rampant with violent crime, cutting short otherwise healthy lives. And much of the infrastructure that supports our economic prosperity (including, incidentally, our ability to provide and consume any healthcare at all) is crumbling around us. If you had a trillion dollars to spend, where could you do the most good with it?

My opinion: The government needs to stay out of it. If they can’t run Social Security or Medacare, what makes you think that they can run an efficient health care system for all? Answer is: They can’t. Socialism has never worked before and it won’t work now or ever. So let us stick to a system that does work. “If it isn’t broke, don’t ‘fix’ it.” Capitalism is the ONLY system that works.

IF THIS ISN’T COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM, THAN I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS!!! DON’T LET THE “BIG BROTHER” WATCH YOU! DON’T CASH IN YOUR CLUNKER!

A perfectly legal usurpation of your computer is crossing the line. I’m sorry, but even Liberal Democrats should think so. The government has absolutely NO business tapping into people’s personal computers. Unfortunately for us, there is nothing that we can do about it other than not vote for those who would do this again.

Inform your friends by passing this video on. Cash For Clunkers is only a trick to get in and takeover. Keep the GOV. out of your personal life and put them back in their place.

God Bless AMERICA! (not THIS government!)

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Surely Mr. Obama, there is more going on in this nation than just the Swine Flu. How about talking about your meetings with foreign Presidents’ this coming week? How about talking about your stance on some very important legislature coming through Congress?

Am I the only one who thinks something is up that the Democrats aren’t telling us? Are they trying to distract us with all this Swine Flu talk?

You look at the facts and you be the judge. Remember, the government works for YOU!

Today in the Senate, ten bills and one resolution were introduced.

To look at May 1st’s Congressional Daily Digest (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/B?r111:@FIELD(FLD003+d)+@FIELD(DDATE+20090501) copy and paste into the address bar the previous link.

I would go into depth with the Congressional Report, however, I believe that it is best to look the information yourself and draw your own conclusions.

Every month, I will choose ONE Politician, of any party, who has exemplified true patriotism in their personal life. This special will be known as Beyond The Politician.

Every week, I will choose a speech or quote from a great American patriot. This special will be known as Words of Great Americans.

Also every week, I will choose to highlight ONE great American tradition (e.g. Sports, Food, Entertainment). This special will be known as Great American Traditions.

There will also be special posts that are not included in these three main groups. The goal is to inspire you to be a great American and to show you why America is the greatest nation on Earth.
