I thought you might like to see who some of the endorsers of this rally.                                            According to the One Nation Working Together site, “more than 400 organizations, representing tens of thousands of individuals who have endorsed the One Nation Working Together campaign” have signed on as partners for the Oct. 2 rally in Washington, D.C.

This movement includes human and civil rights organizations, unions and trade associations, nonprofit organizations, youth and student groups, religious and other faith groups, educational, peace, environmental, and ethnic associations, and any other groups and individuals who are committed to pulling our country back together now.

President Barack Obama’s own Organizing for America has praised the effort, calling it the “biggest progressive demonstration in decades.” The list of organizations offering their official endorsements for Saturday’s “One Nation” rally reads like a who’s who of the far-left in America, including some usual suspects:

Killing Black With Abortion Is A Progressive Plan

Many in the Progressive community have pushed for abortion rights. The Democratic Party has been a champion of this black genocide under the banner of "it's a women's right to kill her baby". While 80% of all abortion clinics are in black and minority communities. This is by design as this video points out. As the book Freakonomics points out it is used as a tool to curb crime by killing potential criminals. Now the Progressive never come out and say it. But their actions speak greater then words. Look at the Progressives actions not their words. They lie about everything. Some pro-death Progressives try and say they are against abortion but they want a women to have the choice to kill the baby inside her. That is nothing more then a copout and we aren't buying it. When Jesus asks you what you did about the murder of innocent babies will you say "nothing it's the women's fault"? Will you place the blame on someone else? If you are pro-choice then you are for the killing of babies, mostly black.

Why do you on the left think that killing a baby is a right? Are you evil or do you just do evil's bidding?

Congresswoman: Taxpayers Have an ‘Obligation’ to Fund Abortions

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., not only believes that women should be able to choose whether or not to terminate a pregnancy, but also favors a full repeal of  existing federal policy which limits taxpayer funding for abortions.  According to the Illinois Democrat, “there’s no evidence” that  increasing access to abortion services encourages people to get abortions.
CNSNews.com‘s Nichola Ballasy caught up with the congresswoman today during an event on Capitol Hill sponsored by the Center for Reproductive Freedom to ask her about call for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment.  When asked about whether access to abortion may encourage more women to take the drastic step, Rep. Schakowsky replied, “No, there’s no evidence of that around the world, where access to abortion is more available but somehow women are more inclined to get one.”
“What happens is that women who don’t have access resort, as we heard today, to very dangerous, self-inflicted kinds of things in order to end, terminate the pregnancy,” she said. “And so, you know, we go back to back alley abortions. We go back to coat hangers. And, I mean, is that what we want?”
“Women who are desperate enough to do that to themselves are going to somehow – going to try to abort that pregnancy. We don’t want to do that. We don’t want to put women at greater risk.”

First they told us that abortions weren't covered in obamacare. And now they are telling WE THE taxpayers that we are obligated to pay for a "women's right to an abortion". They have become nothing less then baby killers. And it is all God fearing people in Americas obligation to point out that that is what the Democratic Party has become. We must stand up for the rights of the unborn given to them by God not Congress.

WATCH: Out-of-Control Councilwoman Bullies, Intimidates, and Shouts-Down Citizens

This is what we have gotten from the Democratic Party since they have taken over. It's time WE THE PEOPLE start putting these government employees out on the streets. Her name is Jeanne Harris and she is nothing less then a dictator. She needs help and to be thrown off the Vancouver City council.

 

Matthews Spews Paranoid Conspiracy Theory About Obama Getting 'Screwed'

 

Chris Matthews thinks American businesses are refusing to spend money in order to intentionally harm the economy as part of a long-term plot to "screw" President Obama.
Such political paranoia was actually uttered on Monday's "Hardball" as the host chatted with Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post and Charles Mahtesian of Politico.
Readers are strongly advised to prepare themselves for the kind of conspiracy theory normally reserved for the likes of Michael Moore, Oliver Stone, and members of the far-left who actually believe George W. Bush and Dick Cheney had a hand in the 9/11 attacks (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):

The left wing is just as crazy as you can imagine. The MSM needs to clean house of all these idiot liberal commentators before they take down every news media other then Fox News. It is entertaining watching them flail like a bunch of flounders.

Union Chief Goes on Socialist Tirade

From Gateway Pundit:


Woah! Radical AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is calling for the left to take control of private industry.


Can we call them “socialists” yet?



“We need to fundamentally restructure our economy and re-establish popular control over the private corporations.”

The AFL-CIO blog reported:

    With the economy continuing to stagger and job creation not moving quickly, “working people are justifiably angry and frustrated” as they approach the Nov. 2 elections, says AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.

    Trumka and Working America Executive Director Karen Nussbaum, New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, Eric Alterman, journalist and senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, and moderator Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of the Nation, led a panel discussion—Which Way for the Working Class? Elections 2010 and Beyond—Friday afternoon in New York City.

    More than 400 people attended the event at the Great Hall at Cooper Union.

Trumka said it is vital to channel working-class anger away from Fox News and Tea Party extremists who are delivering a cynical, deeply dishonest and incoherent message—that big government is somehow to blame for the current crisis that the budget deficit will eat our children, and that illegal immigrants took all the good jobs.

However, he added, “The good news is they haven’t bought into right-wing ideology. They are just confused about who to blame.”

Hundreds Protest FBI Raids on Anti-War Activists

MINNEAPOLIS (The Blaze/AP)— Protesters gathered outside FBI offices in Minneapolis and Chicago, bearing signs and shouting chants condemning the agency’s searches of anti-war activists in both cities.
About 150 people protested in Minneapolis on Monday, holding signs reading: “Stop FBI harassment. Opposing war is not a crime.” Roughly 120 people marched in Chicago.
Search warrants had indicated investigators were looking for connections between the anti-war activists and radical groups in Colombia and the Middle East.
Many of those searched tell The Associated Press they’ve had ties to activist groups and have traveled in the Middle East or Colombia. All denied contributing any money to terrorist groups.
A leader of the Minnesota Anti-War Committee, Jess Sundin, says at least 13 people have been subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand jury in Chicago.

From Chicago:

A home video of Mick Kelly (seen in the Minnesota clip above) explaining the raid, his position, and why he’s been arrested in the past. This video appears on the website “Marxist-Leninist: a revolutionary communist website”:
 The left wing wanted big government and now they've got it. It's a shame that the same big government that the Progressives so love and trust is now coming after them. I hear chickens, do you? I hope the Progressives see what happens when you give someone power over you. All the power that the Progressives have taken from WE THE PEOPLE will change hands come Nov and again in 2012. It's things like this that we conservatives warned you about. Good luck my Progressive friends, you will need it. There is always a law or two broken that they will get you on if they really want to.

Laughter Erupts After Congressman Claims Social Security 'Stable'

 

The laughter says it all. Is this the new plan for the Democratic Party, just deny the problem?

Dems Worried GOP House Will Subpoena Birth Certificate

 

From The Blaze:

Obama, beware.
That’s the warning from the House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC). In an interview with TheGrio.com, Clyburn said that should Republicans retake the House this fall, Congress will be “gridlocked” and the White House will be busy responding to subpoenas from Republicans.
Clyburn is refering to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the ranking Republican on the House Oversight panel, and his statement that he will issue “subpoenas everywhere” should Republicans prevail. But Clyburn goes a step further and speculates on the content of those subpoenas:
The White House will be full-time responding to subpoenas about where the president may or may not have been born, whether his mother and father were ever married, and whether his wife’s family is from Georgetown or Sampit.
The question of Obama’s citizenship is usually referred to as the “birther” argument. The Hill reports that Issa‘s office calls Clyburn’s hypothesis “ridiculous.”
“The Democratic Caucus doesn’t take Jim Clyburn seriously — Americans shouldn’t take his ridiculous claims seriously either,” said Issa spokesman Kurt Bardella in an e-mail to the Washington-based paper.
A call to the Majority Whip’s office seeking comment about what Clyburn is basing his claim off of was not immediately returned.

Who's Behind the Two Counter-Beck 'Honor' Rallies at the Mall?

The left keep chasing Beck and Fox News like they are the enemy. It's so sad that this is what the left have become in just 19 months. WE THE PEOPLE need to listen and see what comes out of these counter protests. See what they are planning on doing. See how they veiw us in their political world. Lets see what they want to control of ours next.

‘Pulpit Freedom Sunday’: Pastors Defy IRS by Talking Politics

About 100 pastors plan to “bait” the IRS today by making political statements during their church services. Something expressly forbidden by the IRS.

ADF Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley argues that tax-exempt status is not a government subsidy:

“Churches were completely free to preach about candidates from the day that the Constitution was ratified in 1788 until 1954.  That’s when the unconstitutional rule known as the ‘Johnson Amendment’ was enacted. Churches are exempt from taxation under the principle that there is no surer way to destroy religion than to begin taxing it.  As the U.S. Supreme Court has noted, the power to tax involves the power to destroy.  The real effect of the Johnson Amendment is that pastors are muzzled for fear of investigation by the IRS.”

‘Pulpit Freedom Sunday’ does have some significant detractors:

“It puts congregations in an awkward position. It’s not a wise thing for churches to endorse candidates. We think candidates should endorse us,” said Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.
Land said the church endorses many of the defense fund’s initiatives, but “we think the mixing of the sacred nature of the church with the exceedingly worldly nature of politics is. .. unseemly.”
USA Today talked to the ADF’s “polar opposite“:

Americans United for Separation of Church and State, issued a statement this week calling pulpit-based lawbreaking “the worst idea ever.”
“Clergy serve as spiritual advisers, not political bosses. Pulpit politicking violates federal tax law and offends the vast majority of church-goers,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, the group’s executive director.
“The nation is already bitterly divided over politics this year.. .. Now, Religious Right political hacks want to haul that divisiveness into America’s houses of worship.
“Clergy should just say no.”

Last month Glenn Beck talked with David Barton of Wallbuilders about the message of the day:

And Alan Sears of the ADF presented his case for Pulpit Freedom Sunday at the Values Voters Conference:

The ADF plans to release a list of participating pastors later this week. In the American Thinker, Cindy Simpson writes: “I can see November from my pew. What I hear about November from the pulpit is another story.”
If we don't stand up for our own religion then who will stand up for us? It's time we fear and respect God rather then man.

Ahmadinejad, Black Panthers & Farrakhan Hold ‘Secret’ NY Rendezvous

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s trip to New York City reportedly expanded beyond meeting with foreign dignitaries at the United Nations.  According to the New York Post, the Iranian president’s six-night stay also included a “secret sit-down” with militant Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan and members of the New Black Panther Party:

The president shared a hush-hush meal with Farrakhan and members of the New Black Panther Party Tuesday at the Warwick Hotel on West 54th Street.
The meeting of the podium smackers took place in a banquet room, where the fiery leaders presumably exchanged theories on what’s wrong with the world.                                                                                         

Suicide By Muslim

Well the jury acquitted the 4 Christian missionaries, Acts 17 Apologetics, that got arrested at the Dearborn Arab fest. The Muslim  police chief Ron Haddad, that arrested these innocent Christians said that he was trying to stop potential violence from the Muslim crowd. So is this what we have to expect in Muslim cities? Will we start arresting women for being raped? Or will Muslims start arresting women in mini-skirts in Dearborn for provoking rape by a Muslim man? If we as a society have to worry about Muslims committing violence just because of free speech then we need to look at that religion and the people in it as the threat. The police chief of Dearborn need to be fired for not upholding all Americans Constitutional rights. I predict that a lot of depressed people will see suicide by cop as obsolete. And who needs Jack Kevorkian when all you have to do is preach the Word of God in Dearborn? I'm still looking for those "moderate Muslims" the left keep telling us about. Well when the left think they have found those "moderate Muslims" let me know. We will challenge the "Moderate Muslim" theory with a Mohammad Sucks T-shirt on the lefty as a test of their theory.

These Cry Baby Liberals Need Mental Health Care

 

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Keith Olbermann noted on Countdown tonight that “this is the day health care reform began to take effect.” He then quickly added the Democrats celebrated the enactment of the bill today by saying…nothing. It’s safe to say he wasn’t thrilled by this…and (surprise!) it’s even safer to say his guest Michael Moore isn’t enamored of Democrats currently, either.So Olbermann and Moore took their turns taking shots at Democrats for being spineless (and some shots at Republicans for good measure), with Olbermann asking, “Where is the leadership?” and Moore saying, “We look ridiculous.” Moore even, in a sly bit of cross-promotion, said the day so discouraged him that he rather watch NBC’s Thursday night comedy lineup. It's so sad that these liberals are taking all these massive liberal bills and crying about them not being liberal enough. I'd like to know what percent of their checks they give to the uninsured? Why don't they do something other then bitch about it like a bunch of helpless pigs? This whole time the Democratic Party was making the Tea Party conservatives their enemies they forgot about the Progressive enemy within the Democratic Party. The parasite always destroys the host.

'Mom's Gone Crazy:' 4 Killed In Seattle Shooting

Neighbors look on at the scene of a shooting that left four people dead and another... (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)  It seems like almost every day I'm reading a story about someone killing themselves and taking their family with them. The number of people falling on desperate and depressing times is raising. These people that feel that they have lost all hope to the point of suicide are people no different then you and I. "Only by the grace of God go I" do you remember that saying? It's true. Who knows what brings people to the point of killing themselves or other. These are hard times for all Americans and we need to be vigilant in caring for our fellow man/women. If you could please take the time today to think of people that seem like times are getting overwhelming for them. Take your mind off yourself and your problems for just a moment and think of some people that might be having a hard time of things. Once you have some people in mind let them know that you care and that they are not alone. Just reach out to people and listen to them. You'll never know if you 'saved' them but you will know that you effected them in their life. We can make things better with just a loving, "how are you doing" and mean it. Just taking the time to notice them may be all it takes. And if someone tells you they are depressed or suicidal believe them and get them the help they need. It only takes a moment to save another persons life. And don't forget to pray for all those suffering in these hard times. May God bless you all and I pray all is well with you and yours. If you need us on this blog to pray for anyone please let us know.

This Is The UAW I Remember

DETROIT (AP) — Chrysler says it has suspended some plant workers caught by a Detroit television station drinking alcohol and smoking what appeared to be marijuana during breaks.
Chrysler manufacturing chief Scott Garberding told WJBK-TV in a report that aired Wednesday night that the automaker has identified some of the workers.
WJBK said it received a tip from a worker at Chrysler’s Jefferson North plant and followed about a dozen men for 10 days during their lunch breaks. It filmed them going to a convenience store to buy alcohol and taking it to a nearby park to drink and smoke.
Garberding says the workers’ “behavior is totally unacceptable.” The United Auto Workers said it strongly opposes the use of alcohol or controlled substances on the job.

This has become what the unions are all about. The best part is these union members will not get fired. They will get saved by the union and we the tax payers will bail them out again. It's time that the unions throw workers like this out the door instead of getting them payed leaves.  

Democrats Pledge To America

SPEND SPEND SPEND, your money like there is no tomorrow. They will promise things they can't deliver. They will obligate your children to a life of servitude to pay off our debts. They will bow to our enemies and the unions. They will go after the businesses that create jobs like they are an enemy of the state. They will treat our friendly nations as a 'red headed step child'. They will print money faster then ever in our history and they will hide our full debts. They will raise taxes while growing government. They will screw you over in order to give more to the uber-wealth Soros' and unions. If you like class warfare then vote for the Democratic Party. And if you make over $45,000 a year then you are too rich to vote for this party of "spread the wealth".
The DemRapidResponse team calls their’s “Same Old Agenda:”

The House Majority Whip James Clyburn was even more blunt:

'Pledge to America' Unveiled by Republicans (Full Text)

Republican 'Pledge to America':

CBS News has obtained a final draft of House Republicans' legislative agenda for the next Congress, a 21-page "Pledge to America" that they will formally unveil Thursday morning at a Virginia hardware store.

"The need for urgent action to repair our economy and reclaim our government for the people cannot be overstated," the introduction says.

It continues: "With this document, we pledge to dedicate ourselves to the task of reconnecting our highest aspirations to the permanent truths of our founding by keeping faith with the values our nation was founded on, the principles we stand for, and the priorities of our people. This is our Pledge to America."

Below are some highlights, and the full document is at the bottom.

Jobs:
- Stop job-killing tax hikes

- Roll back non-discretionary spending to 2008 levels before TARP and stimulus (will save $100 billion in first year alone)
- Establish strict budget caps to limit federal spending going forward
- Cancel all future TARP payments and reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Reforming Congress:
- Will require that every bill have a citation of constitutional authority
- Give members at least 3 days to read bills before a vote

Defense:
- Provide resources to troops
- Fund missile defense
- Enforce sanctions in Iran                                                                                                                                                            

Tell the Truth

HOT VIDEO:

Now WE THE PEOPLE know better and the truth is coming out without the help of the MSM. It's about time someone like the MRC tells the truth that the MSM and Washington wont tell us. It's time WE THE PEOPLE take back what Washington has taken from us. It's time we have control to engineer our own lives instead of letting Washington do it for us. It's time we get up off our duff's and fight for what is ours.

And the only way we can do that is with our votes. We need to push all Progressives out. That includes the RINO's in Washington and local politics. I'd like to see the choices be between a libertarian candidate and a conservative candidate instead of the Progressive and Progressive-light candidates we have been getting. We are moving closer to this but it is still the beginning. We need to control who represents us not the (D) or (R) pick who we should vote for. We sent a message to the (R) party the last couple elections and they seem to have gotten the message that WE THE PEOPLE will abandon the (R) if they abandon conservative principles. It's time the old school (D) voters do the same to their party or risk loosing their party for good. I don't understand why the Democrats are so attached to a name when the principles are nothing like the principles of the old Democratic Party.

Waiting For Superman: Why Does Our Education Suck In America

If you value the future of this country then you value education. It's a shame that the Democratic Party has put the power of the many teachers unions above our future. But it is evident that the Democratic Party only cares about the unions and the backing of those unions. If you care about our children and the future of this once great nation then it is up to you to not vote for the party that puts our children's future below the unions. I'm not saying that the Republican Party has all the right answers but at least they don't put the teachers unions about the students. It's time we introduce a private option when it comes to education. If we don't do something soon then how can we expect those children to pay off our debt? Let's give our children a leg up in the world instead of holding them back. What do you think we should do to fix education?

Is Sarah Palin Going To Run In 2012?

Sarah Palin’s keynote speech at the Reagan Dinner in Iowa has set off the left and the MSM as to weather she will be running against President Obama in 2012. It sure does look like she is going to run, but who isn't? I would like to see what kind of interest Palin will bring to the conservative movement. All I know is that she sets off the left like no one else. But the left tend to not hold back when it comes to attacking conservative women. I'm sure the Democrats will over step their 'politically correct" bounds when dealing with her and that will put a bad taste in the mouth of most women voters. We will see what the Democratic Party really thinks of women if she chooses to run in 2012. All you women are you ready to watch what kind of hell the Democratic Party will unleash on this poor women? Just remember what the Democratic Party did to Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin the last election. Let's see how low they will go in their sexist treatment of these women again in 2012. I wish them both luck and Gods speed in their indevor. She will make things interesting win or loose.

Disillusioned Obama Supporter: 'I'm Exhausted of Defending You'

I know a lot of Obama/Democratic Party voters that feel the same way as this women. I know technically we have been out of the recession for 18 months now but it doesn't feel like it. All the money the government has indebted us with to get us out of the recession has only 'technically' ended the recession. It's done a great deal for the many unions that organize and fund the Democratic Party and Big Business that employes the unions. If you are a union member I wouldn't blame you for voting Democrat. Now for all those non-union employees and small business owners that are feeling all the pain of this recession it's time you do what is best for you and not vote for the Democratic Party. If you want higher taxes and bigger Big Brother then vote for the Democratic Party. If you want to punish the businesses that give you employment then vote for the Democratic Party. If you want to stick the next generation with higher debt and deficit spending then vote for the Democratic Party. If you think Christine O'Donnell's admission to "dabbling in witch craft" is worse then Obama's dabbling in cocaine,Islam,Black Liberation Theology and all the other questionable things he did in the past when he was an adult. Then vote for the Democratic Party. If you don't respect the 9/11 families feelings on the ground zero mosque then vote for the Democratic Party.  If you think obamacare,cap and trade,stimulus 1,2,3 and 4 are good for America then vote for the Democratic Party. But if you don't like these things then you better get over your prejudice when it comes to voting for the Republican Party for then next few years or you will get what you voted for. We know what the Democratic Party has become and we know what the Republican Party has become and it's high time we stop defending the Democratic Party when they don't defend us. Things are not over for the middle class and the average American citizen. People are in pain and they are losing hope for a better tomorrow. There are only 2 Party choices and it's time you vote for the choices that best reflect your views and not a Party line.                                   

WASHINGTON — It was billed as “Investing In America,” a live televised conversation between President Obama and American workers, students, business people and retirees on the state of the economy, a kind of Wall Street to Main Street reality check.

But it sounded like a therapy session for disillusioned Obama supporters.

In question after question in Monday’s one-hour session, which took place at the Newseum here and was televised on CNBC, Mr. Obama was confronted by people who said, in short, that they had expected more from him. People from Main Street wanted to know if the American dream still lived for them. People from Wall Street complained that he was treating them like a piñata, “whacking us with the stick,” in the words of a former law school classmate of Mr. Obama’s who now runs a hedge fund.

“I’m exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for,” said the first questioner, an African-American woman who identified herself as a chief financial officer, a mother and a military veteran. “I’ve been told that I voted for a man who was going to change things in a meaningful way for the middle class, and I’m waiting, sir, I’m waiting. I still don’t feel it yet.”

A 30-year-old law school graduate, Ted Brassfield, told Mr. Obama he had hoped to pursue a career in public service — like the president — but could barely pay the interest on his student loans, let alone think of getting married or starting a family.

“I was really inspired by you and your campaign and the message you brought, and that inspiration is dying away,” Mr. Brassfield said, adding, “What I really want to know is: Is the American dream dead for me?”

And a third-generation business owner from Pennsylvania, Walter Allen, told Mr. Obama that his biggest challenge as an entrepreneur was a fearful, negative public. “How can you regain the political center?” Mr. Allen asked plaintively. “You’re losing the war of sound bites. You’re losing the media cycles.”
The extraordinarily personal tone of Monday’s conversation, coupled with more substantive policy questions from the session’s host, John Harwood of CNBC and The New York Times, reflects the erosion of support for Mr. Obama among the constituencies that propelled him into office two years ago.

As he leads his party into a midterm election that many analysts expect to be devastating for Democrats, the president faces overwhelming skepticism from Americans on his handling of the economy. A recent New York Times poll found that 57 percent of respondents believed that the president did not have a clear plan for fixing the nation’s broken economy.

Mr. Obama sought on Monday to address those concerns, telling his business critics that he was not anti-Wall Street and his middle-class questioners that “there are a whole host of things we’ve put in place to make your life better.” He cited his administration’s health care overhaul bill; a financial regulatory reform measure that imposes tougher requirements on credit card companies; and an education bill that makes student loans more widely available.

The president also laid down a challenge to the Tea Party movement, whose candidates have been defeating more mainstream Republicans in a string of recent primaries in Alaska, Delaware and other states. He said it was not enough for Tea Party candidates to campaign on a theme of smaller government; he tried to put them in an uncomfortable box by prodding them to offer specifics about just what programs they would cut.

“The challenge for the Tea Party movement is to identify specifically: What would you do?” the president said. “It’s not enough to say ‘get control of spending.’ I think its important for you to say, ‘I’m willing to cut veterans’ benefits,’ or ‘I’m willing to cut Medicare or Social Security,’ or ‘I’m willing to see taxes go up.’ ”
Mr. Obama hinted that he was open to considering a payroll-tax holiday to spur job growth, saying he would be willing to “look at any idea that’s out there. ” But he went on to say that some ideas that “look good on paper” are more complicated then they appear. And he ducked a question from Mr. Harwood about whether he would be willing to debate the House Republican leader, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the way President Bill Clinton debated Newt Gingrich, then speaker of the House, 15 years ago.

Students Pray to Allah on Mosque Field Trip

Wellesley’s school superintendent apologized today for allowing middle school students to participate in a prayer service during a field trip to a Roxbury mosque last spring.The apology to parents came after a group that has been critical of the Islamic Society of Boston Community Center — New England’s largest mosque and Muslim cultural center — released a 10-minute long video featuring footage of Wellesley students bowing their heads during a prayer service.The group, Americans for Peace and Tolerance, received the footage from a mother of one of the students, its director, Dennis Hale, said today. The woman, whom they will not identify, went on the May 27 trip as a chaperone for her son’s sixth grade class, he said.Wellesley School Superintendent Bella Wong said that allowing the children to participate in the prayer service was ‘‘a mistake,’’ and apologized to parents in a letter.

Five middle schoolers participated in the Muslim midday prayer at the mosque, she said. Some can be seen in the video imitating some of the prayer movements.
I don't care to what god you pray to or what religion you are. The school does not have the right to make students pray. I don't care if the students visit a mosque or learn about different religions in public schools. But to worship is another thing all together. I ask why is it OK to make children pray to Allah at a Mosque for a school event? Why is the left so excepting of this? Will we see the ACLU get involved in this? Or does the ACLU only remove Christian Prayer while adding prayer rugs in public schools? Is this the 'social justice' the left have been talking about?

Christians Around The World Are Being Persecuted By Muslims

This video is Al Jazeera coverage of the church dispute by Muslims: We are seeing a lot more of this kind of treatment by Muslims. It's not just Christians and Jews that are being persecuted by Islam. It seems that the common denominator with all these disputes is Islam.

Obama Omits ‘Creator’ While Quoting Declaration

Two days before the country was set to celebrate Constitution Day, President Obama decided to invoke the words of another founding document: the Declaration of Independence. Except he changed the words.
Towards the end of a speech on September 15 to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, Obama began quoting the famous “rights” line from the founding document. But partway through, he omitted where those rights come from: a Creator.The line is supposed to read: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”But Obama’s recitation left out an important part: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are crated equal. [Long Pause] Endowed with certain inalienable [sic] rights: life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”As the American Thinker points out, it could well be that Obama intentionally ignored his teleprompter:

After President Obama says “created equal..”, there is a long pause during which he scowls and blinks several times. For once, he may actually have opted to not read something that was on the teleprompter. It looks like he is disgusted and decided it would be better not to read what the [Declaration] actually says.

So, did he just forget the words, maybe couldn’t see the lines, or did he leave them out intentionally? What do you think? It's no wonder why most Americans don't know what religion Obama is.

We Are All Enemies Of Islam According To The Koran: Open Thread

In the new exclusive video, a mosque representative can be seen describing Jihad to the children:

Holy war is a false definition of Jihad, and it actually is not anywhere in the Koran that war is holy or that Jihad means holy war. The meaning of Jihad is actually struggle or striving.

Yet in the video, APT points out several passages in the Koran, as well as quotes from Muslims, that seem to contradict that assertion.

A high quality version of the video will be officially released by ATP on its website on Sunday afternoon.

More Left Wing Racism Coming Out

Newsbusters underscores this companion line:

“There’s a white man in him holding him back because everything is half-assed.”

Noel Sheppard slams the double standard:

What’s really hysterical about this is earlier in the program, Maher accused members of the Tea Party of being racist.
I guess it isn‘t racist to say there’s a white man inside the president holding him back.
On the other hand, just imagine the uproar if Maher said Obama’s problem is that he was half white and that “there’s a [black] man in him holding him back because everything is half-assed.”

Chris Coons Is A Marxist In Democratic Clothing

An article Democrat Chris Coons wrote for his college newspaper may not go over so well in corporation-friendly Delaware, where he already faces an uphill battle for Vice President Joe Biden’s old Senate seat. The title? “Chris Coons: The Making of a Bearded Marxist.” In the article, Coons, then 21 years old and about to graduate from Amherst College, chronicled his transformation from a sheltered, conservative-minded college student who had worked for former GOP Delaware Sen. William Roth and had campaigned for Ronald Reagan in 1980 into a cynical young adult who was distrustful of American power and willing to question the American notion of free enterprise. Coons, the New Castle County executive who is running against GOP Rep. Michael Castle for the state’s open Senate seat, wrote of his political evolution in the May 23, 1985, edition of the Amherst Student.The source of his conversion, Coons wrote, was a trip to Kenya he took during the spring semester of his junior year—a time away from America, he wrote, that served as a “catalyst” in altering a conservative political outlook that he was growing increasingly uncomfortable with.  It's time Delaware voters look into the person that the Democratic Party has running for them. The American voters need to stop looking at the (D) and (R) after each name and learn what the candidate values and ideologies truly are. Don't let the MSM tell you that someone is too far to the right to vote for them when the other candidate is as far to the left as thery could go. This man would have to cross his finger if he made a pledge to uphold the Constitution. And it's time WE THE PEOPLE start looking into what the candidates think about the Constitution. The Tea Party is all about the Constitution and they use it as a referance when making desisions that will effect the American people. That is how it has been done since the begining of this the greatest nation the world has ever known. What do the left wing Democrats use as their guide in making decisions? It ain't the Constitution.

Could The Liberals Pick A Bigger Buffoon Then Alan Grayson?

This looks like it'll be as dumb as Alan Grayson. How can anyone take a man with a perma-smirk seriously? He thinks his over the top antics are cut and funny but he is more like Jerry Springer then a real politician. For some reason they think that Republicans think of Gayson as "Enemy #1". That can't be farther from the truth. We think of Gayson as "Enama #2".

Street Fighting Man: The Political Mind of Alan Grayson is a documentary feature about the re-election campaign of Congressman Alan Grayson (D - FL), who famously said the Republican’s health care plan was simply, “don’t get sick, and if you do, die quickly.” In the traditional sense, the film is a non-partisan look at Grayson’s bid to become the first Democrat to ever win a second term in Florida’s conservative 8th District. In the not-so-traditional sense, it is a satiric look at the political state of our Union.
Republicans are calling Grayson “Enemy Number 1” in the mid-term election. Defeating Grayson is viewed not only as a win for their party, but a symbolic blow to the Democratic Party. This fight for the 8th, with all its competitiveness, juvenile, and in-fighting, is a microcosm of politics in America in 2010.

Science Czar: We Need to 'De-develop' the U.S.

What do you think he means by 'De-develop' the U.S.A.? Is 'de-development' what this administration is shooting for? Because if it is then they have hit the mark dead on. We have the highest % of Americans now living in poverty then ever before since they started taking records in the 50's.

In a video interview this week, White House Office of Science and Technology Director John P. Holdren told CNSNews.com that he would use the “free market economy” to implement the “massive campaign” he advocated along with Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich to “de-develop the United States.” In his role as President Barack Obama’s top science and technology adviser, Holdren deals with issues ranging from global warming to health care.

MUST WATCH FILM: 'Fire From the Heartland'

 

Fire From The Heartland from Citizens United on Vimeo.

The first-ever film to tell the entire story of the conservative woman in her own words, "Fire from the Heartland" is a powerful statement about America at a crossroads and the women who have awakened to the crisis. With role models such as Clare Boothe Luce, Margaret Thatcher, and Phyllis Schlafly as inspiration, these women are the unintended consequence of the liberal feminist movement. There is a perfect political/social storm coming from both the right and the left. What side will you be on?

I just wanted to show you what the public unions are gearing up to do. I found this add and many others on Craigslist.com. If you conservatives and moderates think that the public unions and other progressive organization will just lay down for what WE THE PEOPLE are planning to do to Washington and the Progressive machine then you have another thing coming. This would be a great job for a conservative informant or reporter to take. Learn what they are doing or planning to do and shed a light on these organizations. I'm sure if you look in your areas www.craigslist.com you will find another "Progressive community organizer" position. You can also email them for upcoming events,meetings and other planed rallies. The public unions have been pushed by the Democratic Party to be the strong arm of their Progressive machine. We have seen what the public unions have done in the past and their intentions to destroy the Tea Party/conservative movement has become job one for these greedy unions. The public unions have the money and the manpower to try and do some real harm to our movement. But we are not without abilities. We will have conservatives among them. Like the the song goes "I'll be watching you". From what I've gathered the public unions are looking at this as war. They know that if conservatives take over there will be cuts made. The Tea Party has become a conservative machine that is smaller then the unions but a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the future design of Washington. At this point the unions have the greatest amount of power in Washington DC ever. Like any group they do not want to loose that power to influence policies that greatly benefit the public unions over private citizens. And seeing what the public unions have done to citizens in the past I wouldn't doubt that the flames of intimidation aren't fueled using these Progressive activists. Let's catch them in the act on camera or audio. Shed a light on this anti-tea party agitators. And if you catch them doing something wrong, expose it. "Know your enemy."    P.S. this isn't a high paying union job with union bennies. They only want the public or private companies to pay fo9r union labor. What hypocrites.

Tea Party Conservatives Are Making Waves In Washington

“Ladies and gentlemen, the people of Delaware have spoken.” This is great news for conservatives. We the people are throwing out the RINO's and bringing in common sense conservatives to replace them. To some Republicans that tow the Party line in the beltway this Tea Party conservative is scary. But the Republicans will adjust themselves to a less "politically savvy" politician. But it seems like the MSM s touting this as "civil war" within the Republican Party. It's so nice to see the liberals dreaming of a fallen Republican Party like they used to do when the Democratic Party took over both houses of Congress and then they dreamed big with B.H.Obama as our most liberal President ever. They said the Republican Party was dead and that it would never recover from G.W.Bush. That seems so long ago. Heck all the Republicans have to do is point out all the things the Democratic Party promised and what they delivered. And we can forget about the effects of their liberal governance. But all in all this is just the Progressive death role. The Progressives are afraid of the future and they are trying to hold it together with a little hope. The only hope they have is that she is too far right for most voters in Delaware. The problem with that theory and false hope is that Democrat running against her is a Progressive far left Democrat. This isn't about Republican and Democrat any more. We Conservatives gave up on both parties in the past. But thanks to so many American conservatives making a real strong effort to get conservatives back in the two party system we are forming the future of Washington and politics as usual. And the liberals know that when we take back Washington from the Progressives we will cut all the fat out. Let the Progressives dance for this faux hope of a civil war within the Republican Party. Because when we cut back the massive government they will be rioting in the streets like they always do.
