Maybe We Didn't Appologize Enough
5 Killed in Violent Riots Over Koran Burning on U.S. Air Base in Afghanistan
I was going to post the video here but to tell you the truth I'm embarrassed by it. Maybe he should try kneeling, facing Mecca and offering his neck to the sword. Either that or he missed the pregnant suit training.

Tolerance, Schmolerance: Kill Everyone Who Disagrees
Iran court convicts Christian pastor convert to death
A trial court in Iran has issued its final verdict, ordering a Christian pastor to be put to death for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity,Pray for Christians around the world, I think many of us take the peace and safety we have in America for granted. The world is not a friendly place.

I Think We Are Done For
Soldiers don fake belly, breasts to better understand pregnant troops' exercise concerns
The Army is ordering its hardened combat veterans to wear fake breasts and empathy bellies so they can better understand how pregnant soldiers feel during physical training.
We are almost here:
America has become a Monty Python skit. I do not blame the soldier, they don't want this, they want no part of this. I blame the leadership - military and government.

Steve Jobs the Capitalist
Here is an very early (1980) speech by Steve Jobs and it is very interesting. I will never understand why he is the hero of the left - he is full-on capitalist - except maybe it is because his products appeal to their elitism. The website I found the video on even calls him a hippie.
He did what every American should dream of doing - find an untapped need and fill it.

Seeking God's Face
But you, when you pray, enter into your room. And shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly. - Matthew 6:6
The world, not seeing God or knowing God, but hearing about Him only - and mostly lies at that - reject what they hear. They are angry because they do not understand why a loving God could allow so much suffering in the world. If He exists, why doesn't He do something, why doesn't He intervene? And rejecting what they do not understand, they have decided to take matters into their own hands. They will intervene, they will control you, they will make you act like they think you should. By any means necessary. But it never works, it cannot work.
"God is in secret. He is hidden from the world. The world does not see Him, neither knows Him. You can never reach God in your prayers unless you shut out the world. Shutting the door means something more than closing the door of your literal closet. Persons may enter the literal closet and close the door, and yet have the world in their hearts and thoughts. Such have not closed the door in the true sense."The Kindle version of that book is free - can't beat that.
--Charles Ebert Orr, How to Live a Holy Life

The Dangers of Being Green
A BRIT was bitten "down under" by a killer snake while answering a call of nature in the Aussie bush.
"I went into the garden at four in the morning after a night in the pub to save flushing the toilet because water is precious in the outback."
I Feel Safer Already
Feds shut down Amish farm for selling fresh milk
Says a customer:
"I can't believe in 2012 the federal government is raiding Amish farmers at gunpoint all over a basic human right to eat natural food,"Sadly, I can.
"In Maryland, they force taxpayers to pay for abortions, but God forbid we want the same milk our grandparents drank."No, god (government) forbid.
Look on the bright side, you can still practically walk across our southern border unimpeded, get a fake social security number, have your kids in American hospitals, enroll them in American schools, and feed them with American foodstamps - just don't try to bring fresh milk or unsafe hairdryers with you.

Buy Our Cars With Other Peoples Money
Obama hikes subsidy to wealthy electric car buyers
The White House intends to boost government subsidies for wealthy buyers of the Chevy Volt and other new-technology vehicles — to $10,000 per buyer.I'm surprised they're not giving them away free with each substantial contribution to the Obama campaign.
That mammoth subsidy would cost taxpayers $100 million each year if it is approved by Congress, presuming only 10,000 new-technology autos are sold each year.
The extra money for wealthy buyers will be borrowed funds, eventually paid off by future taxpayers in all income brackets.

Preschooler's Homemade Lunch Replaced with Cafeteria "Nuggets"
A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious.
The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day.

Make sure to watch this full screen. Awesome.
What you see is real, but you can't see it this way with the naked eye. It is the result of 20-30 second exposures, edited together over many hours to produce the timelapse. This allows you to see the Milky Way, Aurora and other Phenonmena, in a way you wouldn't normally see them.

You Can't Make This Stuff Up
If you are Muslim you can opt out of the Obamacare health care reform laws with no penalties
If you are of the Muslim religion, you don't have to give all the new Obamacare healthcare reform regulations and penalties another thought. Because the concept of being compelled to participate in such a healthcare program offends Islamic sensibilities, Muslims are specifically exempt.You mean to say Muslims don't have a "right" to healthcare? Are they exempt from car insurance? Home insurance if they have a mortgage? Insurance on their businesses?
As a matter of fact if you are Amish, American Indian or a Chistian Scientist you do not need to participate or pay the taxes associated with healthcare reform. That means not having to be forced to buy healthcare insurance, not paying the taxes or the penalties if you don't get it.

It All Boils Down Pretty Much to Race
I'm still continually shocked to hear some of the ignorance and stupidity that comes from some peoples mouth.
"I voted for Barack because he was black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them," Jackson said. "That's American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn't mean sh-t to me. In the end, he's a politician. I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do."Very disappointing. He just doesn't get it at all.
"It's not politics. It is not economics. It all boils down to pretty much to race. It is a shame."

He's Right, You Know
Birth control is available everywhere, I hear they even give them away at colleges, probably even some high schools - in California and New York City maybe even grade schools. Availability is not a problem, getting people to use them - and correctly - is the problem.

Crime Wave?
Amscot employee kidnapped from home, forced to rob store
A family's Sunday morning had just gotten underway inside their Osceola County home, when several men stormed into the family's home around 9:00 a.m. and tied everyone up, except for one man.We have home invasions around here so often it's almost blasé. Here's one from Saturday. If it happens so much here, how much is it happening across America? And there are people who want to disarm us to make us even more helpless? I'm seriously beginning to think the authorities want a certain amount of crime so we look to them to help us. Perhaps even to slowly create a police state. Police are more and more equipping themselves and acting more like soldiers than a civilian "Protect and Serve" police force.
Deputies told WFTV the suspects tied up everyone in the home and took off with the man.
The employee was then driven to the Amscot location at John Young Parkway and Town Center Boulevard by the suspects, according to deputies.
Investigators say the suspects forced the employee to rob the store.
And this kind of stuff - Man exposes self to kids at Titusville Walmart - same thing, you can't leave your kids alone for a second. How can you have a society where you can't trust anyone?

The Anti-Human Agenda
The Coming of the New Ice Age: End of the Global Warming Era?
The "solutions" prescribed to solve both Global Warming and the looming Ice Age are exactly the same.
In both cases, proponents of the theory-du-jour say that in order to stave off disaster, we must reverse the march of civilization, stop our profligate use of carbon-based fuels, cede power and money from the First World to the Third World, and wherever possible revert to a Luddite pre-industrial lifestyle.
I realized: The solution (commit civilizational suicide) always remains the same; all that differs are the wildly divergent purported “crises” proffered up to justify the imposition of the solution.
They Do It All For YOU
American Tyrants
No tyrant looks in a mirror and sees an oppressor. Tyrants are always protectors of the people. And our own American Tyrants are equally certain that they are the protectors of a people who would otherwise run off cliffs, throw lawn darts at each other, tear the tags off mattresses, make racist jokes, open pill bottles too easily, have inappropriate opinions and reinforce the oppressive heteronormative patriarchy which they have thoughtfully replaced with a vast echoing bureaucratic state in which everyone is free to be different in the same way.
The tyrannical impulses were always there in American liberalism and like water on lilies, power brought them forth. Now we live under a system which strangles us to protect us from ever getting rid of it. The men and women strangling us smile awkwardly and tell us that it is for our own good. This tyranny for our own good requires that they toss aside our laws and replace them with their own. It requires that they spend us into bankruptcy, with much of the proceeds going to them, but in the name of a higher cause. And it demands that we praise them and if we won't do that, then it demands that we shut up and stop broadcasting our dissatisfaction. There is no place in their ideal national community for people like us.

Allen West for President?
Allen West to Obama, Reid, Pelosi: 'Get the Hell Out of the United States of America'
"Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else," he continued. "You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America."
As the audience cheered and many rose to their feet, West added, "Yeah I said 'hell.'"
Red is the New Green
Yet Another Green Energy Stimulus Recipient Hits the Skids (the third this week!)
Earlier this week, Stimulus beneficiary Evergreen Energy bit the dust. Then, Ener1, a manufacturer of batteries for electric vehicles and recipient of Stimulus largesse, filed for bankruptcy. And today, the Las Vegas Sun reports that Amonix, Inc., a manufacturer of solar panels that received $5.9 million from the Porkulus, will cut two-thirds of its workforce, about 200 employees, only seven months after opening a factory in Nevada.
Strong Foundations a Strong Society Make
Amazon seller accused of five star fix
I wanted to highlight the opening paragraph from this article because it is hitting at the problem we are facing as a society.
While most of us object to politicians or law enforcement officials taking bribes, it turns out that the public is quite happy to be complicit in corrupt behavior.If the individual citizens cannot govern themselves, the government will have to do it for them. That is why we now have things like "the Peacemaker" rolling out into South Florida neighborhoods. It could be coming to your neighborhood next.
God starts with the healing of the individual, building society from the individual up - and it's completely voluntary. Strong people, strong families, strong society. Man takes the opposite approach, masterminding the great society and forcing the individual to conform - which never truly happens, even after all the bloodshed which inevitably ensues.
We've had many years of top down planning in the United States and it is beginning to fall apart. The people are corrupt, families torn apart, and the strong hand of government trying to keep it together. May we repent - realize our errors and turn it around - before it's too late.
Edit: After writing the above, before going to bed, I was reading a book called 'Friend of God' by Ray Stedman, and came across this paragraph:
The spiritual freedom that Christ brings always produces social and political freedom. Those who try to bring about social and political justice without laying a foundation of freedom in Christ are doomed to fail. No amount of political action and organizing will ever succeed in setting people free until the gospel of Jesus Christ has planted the seeds of freedom in human hearts.I believe the closest this world has ever come to that freedom - at least since ancient Israel - has been in the United States whose foundational principles were based on Judeo-Christian values. As we lose those values, we lose the blessings that result.

Old School American
Armed 64-year-old woman says to suspect "I will shoot you!"
Investigators said Roderick Willis was a wanted fugitive and was being tracked by a sheriff's helicopter.He didn't move, she didn't shoot, suspect apprehended.
The helicopter had a spotlight on him as he ran along the side of Karen Granville's home and into her backyard.
However, before he could climb the fence, Willis came face-to-face with Granville, who pointed a gun right at his face and said, "Don't you move mother f*****, I will shoot you! I will shoot you where you stand!"

Culture of Corruption Update
Store owners busted after stealing millions in food-stamp scheme
Money quote:
"What's going on here is to the tune of $2 million in a four-block area, imagine what's going on throughout the rest of the state and the rest of the country,"They couldn't do this without the willing participation of food stamp recipients. The article says they are stealing from "the area's poorest residents" as if they have no control. But, "the area's poorest residents" know what they are doing, they are not ignorant of what is going on here.
I'm not excusing the store owners - no way - but let's not pretend they are without willing accomplice.

We Don't Need No Stinkin' Budget
1000 Days
What am I'm referring to? It has officially been 1000 days since the Senate has passed a budget. Arguably one of the most important functions the Senate has to perform every year .. and they have failed to do this for 1000 days. And not coincidentally, the Senate has been controlled by Democrats for 1000 out of those 1000 days. At one point early last year, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that it would be "foolish" for the Senate to consider a budget. They didn't pass one through committee let alone put one on the floor.

Making Air Travel Safer
I've been thinking about this problem from the perspective of the Obama administration. We need to tax the airline industry out of existence. Sure you can start an airline, but you'd go broke doing it. At the same time, loan billions of dollars to the teleportation industry. Can you imagine how wonderful it will be to just 'beam' to where you need to go? No dirty jet fuel, no worrying about terrorists on airplanes, no airport parking. Sure, you'd have teleport parking but at least it's not airport parking.
Yes, it might be a bit expensive - at first, but this approach worked wonders for solar and wind energy, not to mention ethanol production. Yes we can.
