I hope citizens will wake up to the threat that political Islam poses to the U.S. and the rest of the world. Islamofascists do not want to coexist with people of other faiths. They want people of other faiths (or no faith at all) to be treated as second-class citizens. They don't believe in freedom. They want to rule over us and the whole world and they will use violence to achieve their goal. Tolerance must be reciprocal and many who believe in Islam do not reciprocate with tolerance. </span><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Mda4h1YGMM0" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399606665949169997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625461771634492759.post-76803345515674464772012-10-20T03:51:00.000-07:002013-01-10T05:09:20.855-08:00Andrew Napolitano asks What If There Was Tyranny?<br />Has the United States come face-to-face with tyranny? Do you think that we as a nation have just touched the surface of tyranny - at the beginning of dealing with tyranny - or are we knee deep in it now? In this election it is the citizens time to decide whether they want freedom or tyranny of the government? If Americans do choose a tyrannical government - big government - this election would it be possible for citizens in the future to bring back a return to freedom, small government freedom-loving policies? Or would are constitution be so torn apart that it would be irreparable?<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Pqb97gtsyYc" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399606665949169997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625461771634492759.post-91465790892677127422012-10-18T04:34:00.000-07:002013-01-10T05:09:20.865-08:00The President Said " Acts of Terror" in a Lawyerly Weasel Kind of Way <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I waited a day for the dust to settle so to speak before I decided to write on the Libya debate question kerfuffle. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the statement that President Obama said in the Rose Garden the day after the Benghazi attack: </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for."</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">At the beginning of his <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/09/12/transcript-president-obama-remarks-following-deadly-attacks-at-us-consulate-in/" target="_blank">speech</a> the President condemns the attack calling it "outrageous" and "shocking". Then a few lines later he goes on to call the attack "senseless" and "brutal". Then later on his speech Obama talks about the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. It is after this part of the speech when he states "acts of terror". Nowhere in his speech did he specifically label the attack on Benghazi as an act of terror. It is not far off that one make an inference and conclude that when he stated "acts of terror" he was including the attack on Benghazi in that generalized statement since in his speech he was talking about the attack on Benghazi. But Obama did not specifically call out the Benghazi attack as "terrorism" or "an act of terror". Obama used the words "acts of terror" in a lawyerly weasel kind of way giving himself wiggle room so later on he could either claim yes I did call the Benghazi attack an act of terror if it did turn out to be a terrorist attack or deny it if the attack didn't turn out to be an act of terrorism. I would call this political CYA. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Here are <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/10/16/Crowley-Saves-Obama-with-false-fact-check" target="_blank">some other opinions</a> on the tenuously heated exchange: </span></span><br /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><br /><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Politico's <a href="http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=6E99CE27-FF15-40E5-AAF9-4422A6981193" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 85, 0); text-decoration: none;">Dylan Byers</a>: "After the debate, even Crowley seemed to acknowledge that she had erred."</span></em></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even Politico's Mike Allen <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYl57y7IKyk&feature=youtu.be" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 85, 0); text-decoration: none;">is questioning </a>Crowley's call.</span></em></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Even Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler says Crowley <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/wp/2012/10/16/fact-check-libya-attack/?wprss=rss_campaigns" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 85, 0); text-decoration: none;">got it wrong</a>: Obama "did not say terrorism."</span></em></div><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Candy Crowley did admit both during the debate and in an interview with Anderson Cooper afterward that Mitt Romney 's main point was correct. The Obama administration went around for almost two weeks claiming that the attacks happened because of some obscure movie trailer on Islam which was posted on YouTube when it was in fact a planned attack which happened on the anniversary of 9/11. Obama and the rest of his team consistently blamed the YouTube video for causing a spontanious uprising and it wasn't until about two weeks after the attack on Benghazi that the Obama administration admitted that the killing of our U.S. ambassador in Libya along with three other Americans was in fact an act of terrorism. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/athcyCTnTTs" width="640"></iframe></span></span><br /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">In the context of a debate a moderator's job is to monitor the minutes a candidate speaks, tell them time's up, keep the debate moving, to ask the questions, and could be to try and make sure the candidates actually answer the question that was asked. But it is not in the moderator's purview to make declarative statements as to what is true or false during the debate. She is not supposed to be a "fact checker". But after listening to her explanation yesterday as to why she reacted the way she did I can sympathize with her feeling like she was dealing with two children who demanded to know who was right. But I still think the correct response would have been to say we will look up the transcript to see who is right and post it on our website later on. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399606665949169997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625461771634492759.post-40891567663165631692012-10-16T15:42:00.000-07:002013-01-10T05:09:20.876-08:00Eagle Freedom Links -- Interview With Thomas Woods on His Book How The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEYNNuzY2IcxleiYjndQxROZWK05mW-JVAtV1cGMl7YlFtrFYCbNzg6RzTYEd9JzIkR-cN8FcEGvuUR2kt_rvwV2qIKsqmFXjpd5F44ro2Ve6BJdmTJtKibOahp716t4AMLMVwCI1vrqw/s1600/eagle-on-us-flag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEYNNuzY2IcxleiYjndQxROZWK05mW-JVAtV1cGMl7YlFtrFYCbNzg6RzTYEd9JzIkR-cN8FcEGvuUR2kt_rvwV2qIKsqmFXjpd5F44ro2Ve6BJdmTJtKibOahp716t4AMLMVwCI1vrqw/s1600/eagle-on-us-flag.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />I am temporarily changing the format of my Eagle Freedom Links.

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which he who fought that gasbag has thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from this honored candidate we take increased devotion to that cause for which he gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that this candidate shall not have felt like he died, devoured by a vast, shark-like maw, in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.</span></div><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399606665949169997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625461771634492759.post-17058880654211769372012-10-11T15:04:00.000-07:002013-01-10T05:09:20.916-08:00Firewall with Bill Whittle: Bewitched! <br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/el15bdzKBlQ" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399606665949169997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625461771634492759.post-41931346514857578702012-10-10T19:37:00.000-07:002013-01-10T05:09:20.927-08:00Swim With a Tiger Cub? <div><br /></div><iframe height="360" id="kaltura_player_1349922493" src="http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/wid/0_5x46eely/uiconf_id/3775332/st_cache/76061?referer=http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/florida-animal-sanctuary-kids-swim-tigers-17441089&autoPlay=false&addThis.playerSize=392x221&freeWheel.siteSectionId=nws_offsite&closedCaptionActive=true&addThis.playerSize=640x360&closedCaptionsOverPlayer.fontsize=18" style="border: 0px solid #ffffff;" width="640">Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.</iframe> <div style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><div style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/video">Watch More News Videos at ABC</a> | <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/">2012 Presidential Election</a> | <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/entertainment">Entertainment & Celebrity News</a></div><div style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></div>From <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/10/swim-with-a-tiger-cub-at-fla-private-zoo/" target="_blank">ABC: </a><br /><br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If swimming with dolphins is not exciting enough for you, how about a tiger cub?

Brian Williams defended PBS's subsidy on Friday misleading the public by saying that an end to the subsidy would mean an end to children's programming. CNN went into hysterical hype mode on Friday morning making a Big Bird out of a small egg pretending that this was a key debate issue.<br /><br />Does stopping federal funding of PBS automatically mean no more Big Bird? Seems to be what the MSM - Left Stream Media - thinks. The MSM is acting if PBS loses funding we will see the end of the world as we know it. Do liberals fear that PBS will meet the same fate as Air America? So in essence progressives are admitting that PBS is unable to hack it in the real world - unable to fund their progressive propaganda on their own. Private investors wouldn't support Big Bird? Oh no! The world might see armageddon if Big Bird isn't on TV anymore. Liberals want us to continue to go further in debt to China over Big Bird. Why should taxpayers be forced to fund PBS, the Progressive Broadcasting of Sewage? Big Bird is apart of the 1% so he needs to give some of his profits over to PBS for funding so we can start the process of stopping borrowing unnecessary money from China.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtvsOmz84AH74-Grhmun-c8EzNjjq5r9TPXfixJpif5D7ZPmr8XBev_TxnnsXAX4dFvpt1uDoXTtzqZ8aR6mPQYz0NfwF1wg5svh_yPpwRqKHY8LdjblPE2-BhM_NjPEiqXzYl3sgFNy0/s1600/Big+Bird2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtvsOmz84AH74-Grhmun-c8EzNjjq5r9TPXfixJpif5D7ZPmr8XBev_TxnnsXAX4dFvpt1uDoXTtzqZ8aR6mPQYz0NfwF1wg5svh_yPpwRqKHY8LdjblPE2-BhM_NjPEiqXzYl3sgFNy0/s1600/Big+Bird2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />This is the problem. If we can't even have a meaningful or serious conversation over such a minor budget issue without having people acting like hysterical loons how the heck are we going to tackle the big stuff? PBS funding may makeup a pittance amount of money compared to some things but the question should be does PBS really need the funding? Is it possible for them to make up the loss of subsidy with private donations or private investing? Should they be able to make it on their own or should they be reliant on taxpayers to fund their programming? And if PBS isn't able to fund their own programming don't you think there should be much better oversight on what we fund - no freaking progressive propaganda - only do kids programs which are like the type of programming of learning before the liberal propagandizing days started and simply report the news in a neutral manner without any spin. Otherwise look to Ted Turner, Al Gore, or George Soros if your going to use PBS to promote a Marxist agenda instead of simply informing the public of news and showing good, wholesome learning shows to children.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIVJAoKu4zzC47KlBFvHPbTNDSKqC5v8aMAb3GRRqwptqJhDcxn_6rDPN9NuAuP-5Bo0urSWGQWidiwItR_JqE5YxaKHMVuqqu2353XGSxXBTtDsy1AMtXfmScNdz_aAh2ZxEUtWjuLXM/s1600/Big+Bird.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIVJAoKu4zzC47KlBFvHPbTNDSKqC5v8aMAb3GRRqwptqJhDcxn_6rDPN9NuAuP-5Bo0urSWGQWidiwItR_JqE5YxaKHMVuqqu2353XGSxXBTtDsy1AMtXfmScNdz_aAh2ZxEUtWjuLXM/s1600/Big+Bird.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399606665949169997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625461771634492759.post-67206930556876178252012-10-07T14:26:00.000-07:002013-01-10T05:09:20.979-08:00Paul Ryan with hard-hitting religious freedom message to 'fellow Catholics' Religious liberty is a fundamental right of all Americans.

Here is one of the poems I created. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></div><h3 style="color: #265e15; font-family: Georgia, Verdana, Arial, serif; font-size: 1.4em; font-weight: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #3366ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Life’s Detour </span></strong></span></h3></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A long road I have been on</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">One that now has taken a bit of a curve</span><br /><span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Not the end but a new beginning with truth beside us and light ahead</span><br /><span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">We know God is with us on our new journey </span><br /><span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">We are called to be strong people of faith in both good times and bad times</span><br /><span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">We follow God’s will as hard as it might be as we forge ahead on our new journey </span><br /><span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">We know that with God all things are possible</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.450000762939453px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.7em; margin-top: 0.7em; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">© 2012 Teresa Rice This work is copyrighted, as is everything published under my name in this blog and elsewhere.

This same group of women are going across the country talking to women about Mitt Romney. </span><br /><br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Frankly, we were completely, totally, absolutely fed up. That’s what we told a reporter from the Milwaukee Sentinel today who asked us why a group of female executives are traveling the country telling women about our former boss Mitt Romney. We were frustrated that so many women were getting a picture of Mitt from the media and negative ads that just doesn't match up with the man we all know and worked with in Salt Lake and Massachusetts. We’re smart women; we know it’s a big country; and we know we’re only a few voices. But we also know we have insights and stories that women voters want to hear before they make up their minds – so we decided to hit the road and tell as many women as we can what Mitt Romney is really like from the perspective of the women who worked with him every day.</div><img src="https://www.blogher.com/files/womenMitt.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;"></span><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><center style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Image Credit: Zumapress</em></center><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;" /><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Amazingly, most women don’t know that Mitt had women at his side helping him turn around the Olympics in Salt Lake and fix the economy in Massachusetts. It doesn’t surprise me because I know how Mitt puts together his team. He hires the strongest talent he can find, so naturally he ends up with a lot of women. Mitt says he hires people who will “go through walls” to get the job done; the women who have worked with him over the years definitely fit that description. I worked with him for nine years and can tell you that my colleagues in Salt Lake and Massachusetts are as talented and incredible as any group of women in America. </div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: magenta;"><a href="http://www.blogher.com/what-women-should-know-about-our-old-boss-mitt-romney?page=full" target="_blank">CONTINUED </a></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399606665949169997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625461771634492759.post-21477044746125493182012-10-02T14:18:00.000-07:002013-01-10T05:09:21.107-08:00ActsFive29, A Group of Pro-Life Defenders, Were Arrested While Praying Outside White House <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh79xTs6xrtLRqQCY7J-RDPFlcKcivAZEzHLgweMDuwDi71Fol7HU2WJh0zbJSlSalFTdbsZhyphenhyphen7mA3QLIKkTX8dEWuTvWfFKYSWCl_8RfTa6Pr0mNxvK0RVYZeN69Oj3yCU9J5hyphenhyphenVb986A/s1600/kingobama.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh79xTs6xrtLRqQCY7J-RDPFlcKcivAZEzHLgweMDuwDi71Fol7HU2WJh0zbJSlSalFTdbsZhyphenhyphen7mA3QLIKkTX8dEWuTvWfFKYSWCl_8RfTa6Pr0mNxvK0RVYZeN69Oj3yCU9J5hyphenhyphenVb986A/s1600/kingobama.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Okay.... WTH?!? These pro-lifers were outside of the White House on their knees praying in protest against the HHS mandate. According to the Constitution as citizens we have a right to peacefully assemble. I guess not under this despot of a president. Because he treats the Constitution as if it were a piece of trash. His actions have shown that he has utterly no respect for the Constitution. In fact Obama treats our Constitution with disdain and with every action he's shown he wants to undo all our Founders fought for. So yes, I will call anyone who wants to "transform" America to undo our Founders' vision an anti-American jacktard. And that includes our Liar-in-Chief, the King of all Anti-American jacktards. He and his ilk believe government should have all autonomy over our lives. Obama and his minions are not for either the individual or for groups since you cannot be for one and not the other. They are inextricably linked. They are for having power and control over our lives. And stupid progressive ordinary Joes are handing it to them on a silver platter. They would rather be told what they can and can't do by the government instead of choosing for themselves. Progressives are against choice.<br /><br />Our Founders fought against a persecutorial King in Great Britain to make sure every individual would not be tread on, recognizing that individuals are granted certain rights by our Creator. With the HHS mandate in place Obama should be known as the new persecutorial King, one who doesn't give a crap about peoples' rights or consciences especially if they disagree with him. He says to hell with your conscience. He doesn't respect differences of opinion. The Left only wants those on the Right to respect their opinions which differ with ours but disrespect us with unfounded accusations, accusing us of being racists, hating women, not caring about the poor, when in fact they fabricate a war on women, the race hustlers take advantage of minorities all for political and personal advancement. The truth is liberals are the ones who promote the abject killing of innocents, both females and males babies in the womb. Progressives have started the war on our constitutional rights, more recently specifically have waged a war on our right to religious liberty, our right to follow our consciences at our jobs, schools, et al. They can shove their immoral crap all over the place propagandizing kids and whoever else with hurtful stuff encouraging kids to challenge their parents to go behind their parents backs to disobey their teachings on various issues, advocating the undermining of the parental duty as mothers and fathers and that's considered A-Okay. Hell NO!!! We need to take a stand for the children. Stop corrupting our children!!! Stop violating our constitutional rights!! No more Mr. or Mrs. Nice Guy. We need to take a stand for the future of our country. We are called to be civilly disobedient when injustices are involved. Progressives and in particular the Obama administration have perpetrated multiple grievous injustices upon this nation and our citizens and we are called to stand up and say hell no we won't take this anymore and even go to jail for our beliefs. We need to fill the jails across the nation and let these corrupt tyrants across the U.S. know that we mean business and we aren't going to let the Obamanation of America to continue.

In one way yes, in one way no. I do not believe in government dependency and I am not voting for Obama just so I can get "free stuff" so with regards to the first part of his comment, most of his comment, I am not on board. I am voting for Mitt Romney because he believes in religious liberty, a more limited government and policies which will spur economic growth. But as far as the income taxes go .... okay just listen to the last third of what Romney says.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nvqHERTcytI" width="640"></iframe><br />(if this isn't the full video of his remarks please do let me know. This is what I could find.)<br /><br />As a lower middle-class citizen I have only had to pay federal income taxes at tax time once during my lifetime. If you take a look at the main idea that Romney conveyed I totally agree with it. If a person is government dependent and you have a politician who is going to enable that mode of thinking and even encourage it then the person is most likely going to support that politician. But there are people in an in-between status who aren't on government assistance but are struggling to makes ends meet or to meet their bills month-to-month and that's the category that I'm in. This can be due to lack of skills, lack of education, lack of opportunity, lack of education, lack of employment available, credit issues which sometimes jobs base their hiring, high rate of college tuition payment, or even because of health problems. All I am saying is that there is a good number of citizens out there who don't receive government assistance and who are struggling to meet their bills each month. We need to make the case to these people that high taxes is in fact going to hurt them, not help them. We need to explain to them sound fiscal economics and that the financial pie is not limited to a certain amount of growth but can grow by leaps and bounds. If the correct economic policies - the policies which were instituted during Reagan - are put into place each person can help to make their own destiny.<br /><br />Every person has a chance to change their situation for the better. Citizens do not have to be stuck in a rut. Citizens do not have to be dependent on the government. We just need to show them a way out. My husband is in the midst of trying something new which I hope benefits us financially. I have dealt with so many health problems over the years that I've either had to work retail, fast food, or my low paying landscaping job. And when I was given the chance to work in a doctor's office by my ophthalmologist back in Maryland office politics or jealousy by the office ladies got involved. I knew computers, copiers, fax machines but didn't know the insurance programs or some other medical office procedures but was willing to learn. The owner (the doctor) of the practice gave me a chance or tried to but others weren't so willing. He gave me a chance but the office ladies weren't happy that he went over their head and actually made a staff decision. He was willing to train me, even to send me away to take a class but the office ladies weren't willing to go along with his plan. They lied and said that I wasn't learning the office procedures. I know that I was. A couple of the medical staff couldn't understand what the office staff's problem was, they said that I was doing just fine for only being there a month. So, after a month I was let go. Believe me I let my doctor know how I felt that I was wronged. I just had a hysterectomy because of having severe endometriosis and issues surrounding that disease. I have dealing with issues related to endo for over 16 years. But now I can begin anew and am planning on taking courses starting in the spring of 2013 to become a medical assistant. I love working with people and have been interested in the medical field for quite awhile. This will also help to better my finances. I also have other ideas for hobbies or side jobs which will hopefully better my income as well.<br /><br />I heard the percentage of people who are on food stamps, Medicaid or some type of government program is 33% (not sure where I heard this or whether the number is accurate). So IMO that number would have been more appropriate for Mitt to refer to.<br /><br />Is it true that citizens on government programs don't pay income taxes? While looking through information on Medicaid I didn't see any mention of them paying taxes on this so I'm guessing that those on Welfare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Disability don't pay federal income taxes. Those on Social Security may or may not pay federal income taxes on their income. It depends on the person's or couple's income. But for purposes of simplicity I'll just use the 33% number for those people on government assistance who don't pay federal income taxes.<br /><br />This chart is from 2010:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOOevQ0qTQiyMzhL6eTaUc_xssNPyJ4CGvo4kzPwqYKAIN1-Dqae6E4hWcO2HXzwTsCn8am898L38C_RZw1PZmFHaaty-ocNz1jIABJFLFq4EuliZ2vaa18tLydoHnwaXeXTDV5GfZbCM/s1600/governmentassistanceexpands.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOOevQ0qTQiyMzhL6eTaUc_xssNPyJ4CGvo4kzPwqYKAIN1-Dqae6E4hWcO2HXzwTsCn8am898L38C_RZw1PZmFHaaty-ocNz1jIABJFLFq4EuliZ2vaa18tLydoHnwaXeXTDV5GfZbCM/s1600/governmentassistanceexpands.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br /><a href="http://money.cnn.com/2012/02/07/news/economy/government_assistance/index.htm" target="_blank">Government Assistance Expands: </a><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">More than one in three Americans lived in households that received Medicaid, food stamps or other means-based government assistance in mid-2010, according to a new report. </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">And when Social Security, Medicare and unemployment benefits are included, nearly half of the nation lived in a household that received a government check, according to the analysis of third-quarter 2010 Census data done by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, a libertarian-leaning think tank.

No. I am not saying that these people should be his primary focus for getting votes but many of these people are really struggling and see Obama as not doing enough for them or having abandoned them. This is a time when we need to reach out to these people, those people who are willing to listen, and explain to them conservative principles and give them some of the historical background of the United States. It is a high probability that these people haven't been taught the Constitution or the Founding of our country nor about the idea(s) that the United States of America was founded on.<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399606665949169997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625461771634492759.post-6863312768096486142012-09-29T08:33:00.000-07:002013-01-10T05:09:21.187-08:00#Pa Vote for Tom Smith Make Him Our Next U.S. Senator, Vote Casey Out of OfficeTom Smith is the GOP candidate in Pennsylvania challenging Sen.

Obama Campaign Redesigns American Flag, Foreign Policy Run By Dr. Phil?, and The Hobbit<span style="color: #b45f06;">Every time I've tried to write something on politics in the past few days I have had a brain freeze or something so I haven't written anything. Maybe its a bit of nerves due to my having the hysterectomy on Monday. Yes, its this Monday. For real. No practice run this time. LOL! I was also going to write a links post but unfortunately I just don't have the time to do so before tomorrow. So I have decided to cover some of what's been in the news lately. </span><br /><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span><span style="color: #b45f06;">For some reason the Obama campaign doesn't think our American Flag is good enough for them. They see it as divisive. Is this yet another "change" that Obama promised? Is this yet another sign of his "transforming" America? Obama has shown contempt for the Constitution, our liberties and the citizens of the United States. Now the Obama campaign has chosen to show contempt to the American Flag. This is because Obama and his ilk don't believe in the Founders vision for the U.S. They believe in government, that government grants rights to the people and can tell you what you can & can't do. The Founders of our great Republic believed in the individual and that individuals rights come from our Creator. They did not believe that government granted rights. This is why our Founders left Great Britain. Our great Constitution outlines our rights that our granted by God - Right to Free Speech, Right To Bear Arms, Free Exercise Of Religion, Right To Peacefully Assemble et al. With the Obama administration's assault on religious liberty with the institution of the HHS mandate which forces religious institutions to provide abortion pills, sterilizations, contraception and to violate their consciences it is self evident that Obama & Co doesn't believe in religious freedom. </span><br /><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span><span style="color: #b45f06;">Here is the insidious flag: </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwHCqsmjbLhbdiYgMeUSadV4eQKh5VRIp0DbxiXRnnE81Pt8QkyLppz6hd28D8Y7O0MefgiREglsSvty49NMEfqr4GiD1UbgvmchnGrBCoOQzWV4hqeOvgvLan9y2TvEke1EhmgraFyxM/s1600/flag-500x281.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwHCqsmjbLhbdiYgMeUSadV4eQKh5VRIp0DbxiXRnnE81Pt8QkyLppz6hd28D8Y7O0MefgiREglsSvty49NMEfqr4GiD1UbgvmchnGrBCoOQzWV4hqeOvgvLan9y2TvEke1EhmgraFyxM/s400/flag-500x281.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Obama wants the U.S. to be in his own image. This is sick and perverted IMO. The Obama campaign has hit a new low. I knew they disrespected America and all she stand for but this really takes the cake. What a demented bunch of individuals they must be to give their version of the American Flag. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">I prefer to keep Old Glory, our flag of honor. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIIYef0pVhmhTmRF9B4Qt7qjbEJ6e9jRAkdri9FUjIDoV2S1BJxEQZAJ4C9PGMMP7qKJzkxT3xiiHJlSRBLyKyrHouPpFxPGpEX2eVq4kkofSvEN_Fc5X3_xNAgqbNo3db5MLVSh-e1iY/s1600/americanflagclipart1cf3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIIYef0pVhmhTmRF9B4Qt7qjbEJ6e9jRAkdri9FUjIDoV2S1BJxEQZAJ4C9PGMMP7qKJzkxT3xiiHJlSRBLyKyrHouPpFxPGpEX2eVq4kkofSvEN_Fc5X3_xNAgqbNo3db5MLVSh-e1iY/s400/americanflagclipart1cf3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">The title "Stars and Stripes Forever" is what drew me to this picture.

Born amid the first flames of America's fight for freedom, I am the symbol of a country that has grown from a little group of 13 colonies to a united nation of 50 sovereign states. Planted firmly on the high pinnacle of American Faith, my gently fluttering folds have proved an inspiration to untold millions. Men have followed me into battle with unwavering courage. They have looked upon me as a symbol of national unity. They have prayed that they and their fellow citizens might continue to enjoy the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, which have been granted to every American as the heritage of free men. So long as men love liberty more than life itself, so long as they treasure the priceless privileges bought with the blood of our forefathers; so long as the principles of truth, justice and charity for all remain deeply rooted in human hearts, I shall continue to be the enduring banner of the United States of America. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="color: #b45f06;">I normally don't agree with Kirsten Powers but on this rare occasion I agree with her article which condemns the Obama administration's response to the attack on our embassy in Libya. </span><br /><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">In fact, what is "disgusting and reprehensible" is that there are people in the world who think they are justified in attacking and killing people because someone hurt their feelings or offended their sensibilities. The US government should not act as a validator or enabler of this upside down worldview, which is exactly what the Obama administration has done repeatedly as they have responded to these abhorrent attacks against the United States. </span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Worse, our leaders shouldn't let our enemies know that when they kill our people and attack our embassies that the US Government will act like a battered wife making excuses for her psychotic husband. Wake up: we weren't attacked because of a movie made by an American. We were attacked because there are crazy religious fanatics who hate the United States. We didn't ask for it.</span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Apparently our foreign policy is now being run by Dr. Phil. Someone needs to explain to the White House that our Constitution protects freedom of religion from government interference, not the protection from people who say mean, critical or offensive things about one's religion. </span></blockquote><span style="color: #b45f06;">Kirsten adds reasons why the Obama administration should be outraged at offensive religious treatment right here in the United States. I recommend you read the<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/09/14/president-obama-stop-blaming-victim-for-mideast-violence/#ixzz26TLIdNnm" target="_blank"> entire article</a>.

This is the prequel to the Lord Of The Rings. The LOTR is my favorite set of movies so I am really looking forward to seeing the film The Hobbit when it comes out in mid-December. If you enjoyed watching the LOTR you are sure to also like The Hobbit.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NHIGc3fk1pA" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />Have a great week my blogging friends.

This is one more example of Obama's campaign of appeasement and apologies around the world. The man has exuded weakness right from the start of his term in office. There is absolutely no reason for the Obama administration to apologize for Muslims killing four U.S. officials. That is absurd. Beyond absurd. Beyond logic. And, why would they jump so fast to assume that a movie on Muhammed caused the attacks? Oh boy the illogical nature of liberals these days. With a smattering of dhimmitude cast alongside their absurd and illogical notions.

Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”</span></span></blockquote><span style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Very sad and pathetic. This statement couldn't be further from displaying confidence and leadership. Obama is doing a complete 180 and not following Ronald Reagan's example of peace through strength but rather is producing chaos in bedlam via appeasement, fear, and weakness. I prefer a person who understands the concept of national security threats as well as having the ability to recognize and call out our enemy. This is a sign of a true leader. Here are some words from a true leader who knows when to condemn attacks on Americans instead of apologizing for freedom of speech. </span></span><br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/o5f0IC3tWyU" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br />The Obama administration continued their statement of appeasement with this "<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions." When has this administration stood up for another religion (besides Islam) and condemned those who have offended those believers? The <i>Catholic League</i><a href="http://www.catholicleague.org/protecting-muslim-feelings/" target="_blank"> points out</a> that a movie which shows a woman masturbating on a crucifix was given an award at a Venice Film Festival.

Then I thought to myself what constitutes justice? Is it possible for revenge or avenging one's injustice to fall under the virtue of justice? Or is revenge a dirty, ugly concept which can never coincide with justice? So I thought taking a look at a few of the great philosophers explanations on what constitutes justice was in order.

Each part of the soul has its own particular and appropriate function, and the imbalance of the soul or the state is found in one part ruling over another where ruling is not the particular function or virtue of that part.</b><br /><b> The parts of the soul and the state are:</b><br /><b>1. Rational</b><br /><b>2. Spirited</b><br /><b>3. Appetitive</b><b></b><br /><b><br /></b> <b>In both the state and the individual, justice is achieved with a harmony of these elements where the rational rules over the spirited which rules over the appetitive. Justice is achieved in a sense by taking all the three virtues (wisdom, courage and temperance) and understanding their proper balance as constituting justice, which is the good of the individual being and the good of the state.</b><br /><br /><b> Justice is thus a matter of knowledge (related to the notion in Plato's *Apology* understood as ethical determinism) such that knowing the good implies doing the good. It is necessary for Plato that the ruling element of the soul be rationality, which is the highest faculty. Further, in the political state, the wisest and best persons should rule, and so it is that those who are most fully acquainted with the real, and who can distinguish reality from appearances, are the best to rule. In fact, they will be best to rule in part because it is what they least want to do. But they will recognize their duty in ruling and will do well at it.</b><b></b><br /><b><br /></b> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjayb7PqSg_A-MDeFHcw21nkhGSCiVHHthIy90eI81D5WjSFIvo3_CQ82NrCuySCrkd9N2z7-YEWMu6qyYVTvR5zEj8UbIyB2IavFub0lRPhkr-HyFcn9z-6Bb2dKIttnR8JgDEmhJQbNg/s1600/aristotle_altemps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjayb7PqSg_A-MDeFHcw21nkhGSCiVHHthIy90eI81D5WjSFIvo3_CQ82NrCuySCrkd9N2z7-YEWMu6qyYVTvR5zEj8UbIyB2IavFub0lRPhkr-HyFcn9z-6Bb2dKIttnR8JgDEmhJQbNg/s200/aristotle_altemps.jpg" width="167" /></a></div><b>Aristotle on Justice:</b><b></b><br /><b> Justice is a virtue practiced toward other people, and it is the whole of virtue, not just part of it. Just as the state is prior to the individual, so justice, being a virtue that is practiced toward others, is more related to the community than a particular virtue of some other name might be.</b><br /><b> The ways in which people associate with other constitute particular justice. It is seen in distribution and in rectification.</b><br /><b> Distributed justice involves geometrical proportion. If the unjust is unequal, then the just is equal. What is equal is a mean, so justice is a mean and it always involves at least 4 terms: 2 people with 2 shares. Shares are equal in the same ratio as the persons are equal. If unequals recieve equal shares, or equals recieve unequal shares, it causes "quarrels and complaints.</b><br /><br /><b> Rectificatory justice is found voluntarily and involuntarily. In the voluntary sense, it is in selling, buying, interest and lending. In the involuntary sense, it is found in theft, adultery, killing and assault, among other things. Rectificatory justice involves arithmetical proportion. The unjust action involves an unfair gain which the judge in an affair attempts to equalize. So rectificatory justice is the mean between loss and gain.</b><br /><b> The function of a judge in a case is to restore equality that is lost in some sort of unfair transaction or occurrence.</b><b></b><br /><b> </b><br /><b>The most imortant point of inquiry is political justice in particular. Political justice is a shared life for the satisfaction of needs as persons free and equal arithmetically or proportionately. To be free is to be an end in oneself. Justice only exists where mutual relations are controlled by law and law is found only among those liable to injustice. This is why it is not a person who rules, but the law - because a person is likely to rule for his own advantage, not for justice - and justice is meant to be to the advantage of all.</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOLGf42FE6oFDOLvRWJLfrRp_93HEZwvMT0iSCbI91rn8fkHMvBEVXAPPnDYLhQOkz9UME-qsILZVv8Ak-rGEbXUmc_8P77v1JSV62o11kGEmqAbge6zqvCmAYyI50xSWOMaHUw9HnVeY/s1600/StThomas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOLGf42FE6oFDOLvRWJLfrRp_93HEZwvMT0iSCbI91rn8fkHMvBEVXAPPnDYLhQOkz9UME-qsILZVv8Ak-rGEbXUmc_8P77v1JSV62o11kGEmqAbge6zqvCmAYyI50xSWOMaHUw9HnVeY/s200/StThomas.jpg" width="175" /></a></div><b>St. Thomas Aquinas on Justice</b><br /><b> Continues in some sense the work of Aristotle in many ways, but combines with it the notion of an ultimate God as the highest object of happiness. Aquinas does not deny that Aristotle was right in claiming that the highest good was happiness, but where Aristotle saw it as being possible to achieve happiness in this life, Aquinas held that true happiness will only be achieved in another life. Of course, Aristotle didn't hold with the notion of there being another life.</b><br /><b> For Aquinas, justice is the highest of all moral virtues. It is concerned with external actions and is found in the will for dealing with every aspect of our dealings with other people.</b><b></b><br /><b> </b><br /><b>Justice is a constant will to render to each person his right. This refers to our relations with others and it is consistent with Aristotle's notion that a virtuous action must be done voluntarily, from a stable character, for the right reasons, and in the mean.</b><b></b><br /><b> </b><br /><b> Justice is a relation to another implying equality. A thing cannot be equal to itself, but must be equal to something else. So justice requires community of others. Justice is only found in one person toward another.</b><b></b><br /><b> </b><br /><b> Justice is a virtue that makes the human being and the human act good. Acts are good when they are rational and justice regulates actions, so it makes our actions good.</b><b></b><br /><b> </b><br /><b>Justice does not direct cognitive power because justice is not a matter of knowing. It is instead a matter of doing, and doing is from appetite, so justice has to do with the will.</b><b></b><br /><b> </b><br /><b>Justice directs us to the common good, and so it is a general virtue.</b><b></b><br /><b> </b><br /><b>Justice is not about the passions, but about action.</b><b></b><br /><b> </b><br /><b> Justice is foremost among all the virtues because it concerns others and it is rational.</b><br /><br /><br /><b></b> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">What do you think is a just punishment for the Muslims who killed four U.S. diplomats?

Well, in a freak circumstance my hysterectomy didn't happen. My surgery date had been rescheduled for the 24th but neither the scheduling nurse nor my doctor informed me of the change. I put much more of the onus on the nurse who schedules surgeries since that is her job. This means that on Sunday I had only clear liquids and did the bowel prep, and the enema on Monday before I had to be at the hospital at 6am. This means I have to do this again with some minor adjustments - no enema due to bleeding but one additional day of only clear liquids. <br /><br />Monday I was really bummed out and a little miffed. I would have been back to blogging sooner if those were my only issues but Monday evening I became pretty ill with major stomach issues and a sinus and/or a migraine headache. It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that I started to feel half-alive again. <br /><br />On Monday the nurse scheduler called me and apologized. My doc had taken a vacation day on Monday which was unusual for him. Immediately after getting into his office he found out about the surgery scheduling fiasco and called me to apologize. <br /><br />Since I was MIA for the 11th anniversary of the September 11th attacks I am posting a video below in remembrance of all those who lost their lives that tragic day.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-x-kTEE19BU" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16399606665949169997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625461771634492759.post-86511455292383927422012-09-08T12:39:00.000-07:002013-01-10T05:09:21.543-08:00Fighting Back Against The Radicals <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>As I was riding to work one day this week I heard a clip of Bill Clinton's speech where he says that the Republican Party is controlled by the Far Right-Wing extremists thus referring to the Tea Party.

Guess which year is the only year that there was a decline in the number of people on food stamps? Gee... Did it just so happen that this success in lowering the number of people on food stamps occurred under President Bush's term? Yes, his policies were working to help the poor. Under Obama welfare funding has skyrocketed while the number of people on welfare has stayed the same. Whenever something doesn't work liberals just throw money and more money at the problem. That is their solution to pretty much everything. Throwing away our money without getting at the root cause of the problem is not a real solution. Liberal policies have failed so many Americans. Progressive policies with government intervention in the private sector is what caused the financial fiasco. Obama's policies is what is causing the slowest recovery since the Great Depression.

Or do they want government controlled businesses? Government to control the pay? Sounds like socialism/Communism to me. Its been tried before and has always failed. But we have a new set of socialists in town who live in a fantasy land ignoring history, willing to repeat the mistakes of the past and wreak havoc on our lives while attempting a farcical charade.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmTPDdxpn-NmRTu4D7h3INWLX8x3QVF0YKqe9HB0dHl-wAHvUuZLn6BJiJjG0Sx8XfDRk_sh5FXIvVcne4MIbFiS5nnweFTBEdZZR_xIr1RypNH5Yr2WMYbDxFASHfwF-9B4erE5RUPuE/s1600/Osociatlist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmTPDdxpn-NmRTu4D7h3INWLX8x3QVF0YKqe9HB0dHl-wAHvUuZLn6BJiJjG0Sx8XfDRk_sh5FXIvVcne4MIbFiS5nnweFTBEdZZR_xIr1RypNH5Yr2WMYbDxFASHfwF-9B4erE5RUPuE/s1600/Osociatlist.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br />Progressives want to dismantle America and transform it into a socialist democracy.

Last October I had surgery to remove my endo and was really hoping it would give me relief for a longer period than it did. So with few options left I made a very important decision, to have a hysterectomy. I will be having my surgery on Sept. 10 and will be spending at least one night in the hospital so after Sunday I'm not sure how long I will be out of commission from blogging and visiting blogs. If you don't see a link for your blog here you will probably see it in my first <a href="http://teresamerica.blogspot.com/2012/09/mini-eagle-freedom-links-rnc-convention.html" target="_blank">Mini Eagle Freedom Links Posting</a> this week.<br /><br />Michael Voris points out how divided the Catholic Church is now - Paul Ryan Catholics versus Joe Biden Catholycs. He mentions how Republicans as far as morality goes are Catholic minded whereas the older generation of Catholics are not so Catholic minded, but in fact dissenting on certain doctrinal issues, therefore working to undermine the Church. Therefore that means Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden types of Catholics are NOT faithful Catholics.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D_a1ovukdSw" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />Here are some movies I recommend you see:<br /><br />I just saw the Act of Valor movie. This an excellent movie which shows our U.S. Navy Seals bravery and sacrifice for our country.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8XafGgftqyg" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />I first saw China Cry as a child with my mother. For some reason this movie had come to my mind recently. Then I saw it at a Christian store and just had to grab it up. I just saw it again a couple weeks ago. This is an extremely powerful and inspirational movie.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/V_eW72A8Ldw" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />Joyful Noise is a very enjoyable movie to watch.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3Ah_cvbd7DA" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />Adrienne's Corner --<a href="http://adriennescatholiccorner.blogspot.com/2012/09/its-thursday.html" target="_blank"> It's Thursday ...</a><br /><br />A Patriotic Rottweiler -- <a href="http://mymichtaxparty.blogspot.com/2012/09/no-hope-and-no-change.html" target="_blank">No Hope And No Change </a><br /><br />American Perspective -- <a href="http://mainfo.blogspot.com/2012/09/omg-40-massachusetts-adoptions-are-to.html" target="_blank">OMG! 40% Massachusetts Adoptions Are To Homosexual Couples</a><br /><br />American Power --<a href="http://americanpowerblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/democrat-values-are-not-american-values.html" target="_blank"> Democrat Values Are NOT American Values - 'How Will You Answer?'
