The left still think babies don't have a right to life in America. But sea turtle eggs should be protected at any cost. And the left wonder why most people think they are bass ackwards.

Conservatives Think This Is Amazing And Beautiful. Liberals Think It's A Group Of Cells That Don't Have A Right To Life.
A French couple recently captured their unborn baby doing what appears to be somersaults in its mother’s stomach. You can see the dough-like movement below:
Why Is The World Coming Apart Under The Democratic Party?
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired artillery barrages onto a South Korean island near their disputed border Tuesday, setting buildings alight and prompting South Korea to return fire and scramble fighter jets. At least one South Korean marine was killed and 13 wounded, the military said.
The skirmish came amid high tension over North Korea’s claim that it has a new uranium enrichment facility and just six weeks after North Korean leader Kim Jong Il unveiled his youngest son Kim Jong Un as his heir apparent.
One South Korean marine was killed, three were seriously wounded and 10 slightly wounded, a Joint Chiefs of Staff official said.
YTN TV said several houses were on fire and shells were still falling on Yeonpyeong island, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) west of the coast. The station broadcast pictures of thick columns of black smoke rising from the island, which has a population of 1,200 to 1,300.
President Lee Myung-bak ordered officials to “sternly respond” to North Korea’s action but also called on officials to make sure that the “situation would not escalate,” according to a presidential official. He asked not to be identified, citing the issue’s sensitivity.
Lee was holding a security meeting in a presidential situation room, the official said.
In a message to North Korea’s armed forces, South Korea’s military urged the North to stop provocations and warned of strong measures unless the North stopped, another Joint Chiefs of Staff official said.
The JCS official said dozens of rounds of artillery landed on the island and in the sea. The official said South Korea fired back. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of JCS rules, said South Korea’s military is on alert. He could not confirm the reports of casualties.
Tensions between the two Koreas have remained high since the sinking in March of a South Korean warship in which 46 sailors died. Seoul blamed a North Korean torpedo, while Pyongyang has denied any responsibility.
North Korea’s actions “are illegal and a violation of the 1953 armistice agreement” that ended the Korean War, the JCS official said.
South Korea responded by firing K-9 155mm self-propelled howitzer, but the JCS official declined to say whether North Korean territory was hit by the South Korean artillery.
JCS said island residents are escaping to about 20 shelters in the island.

‘Exhausted’ Woman Who Pleaded With Obama for Hope…Loses Her Job
WASHINGTON (AP) — The woman who told President Barack Obama that she was “exhausted” from defending him and his economic policies and waiting for the change she expected after voting for him has another reason to be put out: She’s lost her job.
Velma Hart, the chief financial officer for Am Vets, a veteran services organization based in Maryland, said Monday in an interview with CNBC that she was laid off as part of the nonprofit’s effort to cut expenses.
“I want to focus on the positive and be optimistic,” said Hart, who lives in Upper Marlboro, Md. “And assume that somehow things will work out, that there‘s an opportunity out there with Velma’s name on it that’s right around the corner.”
Am Vets executive director Jim King told The Washington Post that the nonprofit was looking for ways to survive financially.
“It’s not anything she did,” King told the Post for a story that appeared online Monday. “She got bit by the same snake that has bit a lot of people. It was a move to cut our bottom line.”
In September, during a town hall-style meeting on the economy televised by CNBC, Hart told Obama: “Quite frankly, I’m exhausted. Exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the man for change I voted for, and deeply disappointed with where we are right now.”
Hart said that the recession had taken an enormous toll on her family and left her and her husband worried about their finances. “And quite frankly, Mr. President, I need you to answer honestly,” she said, “Is this my new reality?”
Obama responded, in part: “As I said before, times are tough for everybody right now. So I understand your frustration.” He went on to cite examples of administration policies that he argued were helping families cope financially.
Hart told CNBC that she still supports Obama and noted that the economy is improving, though she finds the prospect of unemployment “scary.”

Why Don't Liberals Have To Play By The Same Rules They Inforce?
Remember when the head of the Bergen County Education Association put out an email praying for the death of Chris Christie? Well after that email was sent out, the President of the Teachers Union offered an official apology and called the Governor's office to apologize. At that point Christie says that instead of taking the call, he decided to invite her to the Governor's office for a face to face apology. And that's when the awesomeness starts:
Why is it that unions and liberals as a whole feel they don't have to abide by the rules they enforce on us so readily? Chris Christie makes a valid point on unions not having a code of honor but are more then willing to enforce this code on the right. We have every right to expect the same of them as they expect of other. The unions will destroy themselves with this kind of double standard. It's a shame because the unions,when done right, can do a lot of good for workers.

Mich. City Begs Tax-Exempt Organizations for Donations to Cover Debt
Mount Clemens, Michigan sits just 25 miles Northeast of Detroit. Like its big sister, it has a problem: debt. Desperate, the city is now begging tax-exempt organizations to donate to its general fund, which covers fire services, streetlights, and roads.
Mount Clemens Mayor Barb Dempsey made the request in a letter to 35 such groups this week. According to the New York Times, Dempsey said the town of 17,000 has already made cuts, such as disbanding its police department. But still, it’s facing a budget deficit of $960,000 that she says will reach $1.5 million next year.
“As the County seat and land base of many religious properties, hospitals, schools, and non-profit charitable organizations, one of the most challenging dilemmas the City faces in trying to balance its budget each year is that 42% of the property in Mount Clemens is tax exempt,” Dempsey writes in the letter. “These properties receive the same services as the tax paying properties which places a tremendous burden upon the 58% of property owners that pay taxes.”
“The 42%,” the Times says, includes 26 churches, a hospital, and several schools. That’s taken its toll on the 4.2-square-mile city, which, as the letter says, is also the headquarters of Macomb County, the third largest in Michigan.
If all that property were not exempt, Dempsey told the Times, the properties would pay at least $1.2 million, enough to erase the deficit.
The letter hopes to make up for some of that lost revenue by asking, not telling. “We figured it can’t hurt to send out letters,” Dempsey told the Times. “If you don’t ask, you never know.” She’s hoping it works. Hamtramck, a Detroit suburb, just asked the state for permission to file for bankruptcy, something no Michigan government has ever done before.
For now, at least one group is stepping up to the collection plate: First Presbyterian Church of Mount Clemens. The church gave $1,000 five years ago when the city considered a similar request. Pending approval from the church board, it will do it again.
“If we can help the city in a time of need we definitely should do that,” First Presb. Rev. Bill Davis told the Times. “We need the city, and the city needs us. If we can help financially, I think that’s right.” Writen by Jonathon M. Seidl Here comes the begging for money my liberal city has spent. Soon they wont beg but they will demand that tax exemption go the way of the dinosaurs.

Why Is the TSA Strip Searching This Young Boy?
So what do make of the newest viral video purporting to show a young boy being stripped searched:
Lets get the facts straight first. Before the video started the boy went through a metal detector and didn’t set it off but was selected for a pat down. The boy was shy so the TSA couldn’t complete the full pat on the young boy. The father tried several times to just hold the boys arms out for the TSA agent but I guess it didn’t end up being enough for the guy. The enraged father pulled his son shirt off and gave it to the TSA agent to search, that's when this video begins.

Is this America any more? We aren't aloud to profile terrorists even though all the terrorist have been Muslim. But to be PC they strip down a young boy. If I remember correctly the left went nuts when we started the Patriot Act that aloud us to spy on terrorists phone conversations. Now that we have Democrats in power anything goes. I think that this is sick when the TSA tip toe around Muslims but have cart blanch with our children... It's time to stop this treatment of Americans and start profiling for real criminals. I don't blame the TSA agents for doing their job. But I do think that the government isn't above the law. My wife and I have made the decision to not fly until this treatment of Americans ends. If there is another attack on this country while our government is playing candy man with our children and our citizens, it will be the fault of our current leaders that have put the TSA's noses in our britches for no other reason then to be politically correct. It's only a matter of time before we see how the TSA has been trained to tread lightly with the Muslims. What do you think about the use of this power over We the people? Could this just be another political ploy to contol us? Or is this a rope-a-dope move by our politicians to divert our attention away from something else?

Today The Boys And I Went To River Of Glass To Make Christmas Gifts
Today the boys and I went to http://www.river-of-glass.com/ in Mt.Clemens,Michigan to blow glass Christmas bulbs. It was so much fun for my two sons. They both blew glass bulbs for their mom and grandparents. They also made a glass flower. These bulbs will be priceless for both the giver and the receivers. I took a lot of pictures to go with the gifts. The man that owns this company,Chris Winn, made the chandelier at Greektown Casino. He made this experience for my sons worth a million dollars. If you are in Mt.Clemens stop on by River Of Glass and make something for someone you love or just look at the art.
