Time to take North Korea to the wood shed

The Lunatic Leader of north Korea

The time has come for the idiotic leader of North Korea to be taught a tough and painful lesson. It's time for the United States and South Korea to take o'l Kim -Ill in the head- Jung to the proverbial wood shed.

In the good old "great fly over country" when a child acts like a defiant brat that child is grabbed up by the scruff of the neck and given a good sound whipping!

Yeah I can hear all the left coasters and the wimps on the east coast saying "my God that's child abuse" ,but, by golly it's usually pretty effective,and, you likely won't have to do it again!!

Well guess what folks for some time now the chicken s@#t country that we call North Korea has been acting like a sorry little spoiled brat bully,and, the only way to deal with a bully is to haul off and let him have it right in the face! That is exactly what needs to be done to North Korea. They a need a good swift kick right between the legs.

Some time ago in an earlier post I had this to say concerning this low life thug Kim Ill...

"The only thing thugs like him, and Saddam Hussein, and Al quida, or however the hell you spell those freaks name,understand is force,brutal, unrelenting, merciless force."

North Korea has used merciless force on unarmed innocent civilians!! Without any warning at all they loaded up their artillery and senselessly started shelling a portion of the sovereign nation of South Korea!!! Enough is enough. Our President has called for the South to "exercise restraint".

Would Mr. Obama exercise restraint if someone started shelling the U.S. mainland? I hope the hell not!! North Korea has been threatening the world for too long it is way past time to take the tin horn dictator known as Kim Ill and his lousy little horror show of a backward country to the wood shed and whip their butts with the full force of the combined military might of this country, South Korea, and any one else who cares to get a piece of the action!!!

A Thanksgiving tribute

The Mayflower Compact

In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc.

Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together into a Civil Body Politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape Cod, the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France and Ireland the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Domini 1620

As our thoughts begin to turn to the the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday most of us are preoccupied with travel plans,thoughts of turkey and all the trimmings, and getting together with family and friends. Most of us will take little time to think about the Pilgrims-outside of some stereotypical images we have of them-who held the first thanksgiving-and- what bearing their lives and sacrifices mean to us.

The first Anglo Saxon colonists to this country were a hardy and intrepid bunch of deeply devoted Christians, seeking freedom to practice their faith unfettered and unadulterated by European culture. They also set the stage for American self determination. Their "May Flower Compact is the first of this county's founding document. It was a compact among them selves-a contract if you will with each other-to lay a framework for how they would deal in and amongst themselves, to create order,secure tranquility, and set up a mode of self governance that would eventually find it's culmination in our Constitution.

It is only fitting- at this time of giving thanks for all we have-that we reflect on the great gift of freedom and self determination that these men and women suffered and sacrificed for,and,handed down to us. So this Thanksgiving take time to give thanks for them,the Mayflower Compact, and the example of liberty and freedom that they set for us all. 

We need tax reform now! The FairTax plan for national prosperity

As was pointed out in a previous post the direction of the debate in America over the "Bush tax cuts" needs to be turned toward the real problem which is the need to scrap the current tax code and replace it with a fairer,more viable, alternative!

Some are proposing that we reduce the income tax, impose a consumption tax, and increase the cap on the amount of income to be taxed for social security. This is just plain wrongheaded and dangerous. We don't need to add another tax on top of the income tax,and,we sure as heck don't need to increase the amount of our incomes that is taxed for social security, Medicare, or anything else. Proposals such as these will do absolutely nothing to grow the economy,and return this country to prosperity.

What will work is the simple seven point plan for economic security,and,prosperity proposed by Fair Tax.org

This plan calls for...

• eliminating individual income tax.
• eliminating payroll taxes.
• eliminating estate,and,gift taxes.
• eliminating capital gains taxes.
• eliminating the alternative minimum tax.
• eliminating the self employment tax.
• eliminating corporate income taxes.

and replacing them with a national consumption tax of 23 percent of new retail spending.

If individuals are allowed to keep all the money they earn more will be available for discretionary spending.

If the rich and poor alike are allowed to keep what is theirs more dollars will be available to be spent on purchasing new goods and services,creating more wealth,investing in business, etc etc

Most importantly if individuals and corporations are freed from capitol gains,and,corporate taxes billions more will be available to build plants, create jobs,lower prices, and the list goes on and on. Further more if this country were to abolish corporate income taxes this country becomes the most attractive place on the face of the globe to do business. It could well be that "Made in America" could replace the "Made in China" logo.

That is a plan for national prosperity-as well as -real change that we all should be able to agree with!

Tax reform now! Forget the Bush tax cuts!!

The big question of the day-since the midterm elections has been- "will the Bush tax cuts be extended?" Why even ask this question? The real issue is that the entire tax code needs to be scrapped! In fact,instead of stressing over whether or not to extend the Bush era tax cuts, why not take a look at revolutionary reform of the current tax code,as well as ,abolishing the I.R.S. as we know ?!!

This nation was founded because the people grew sick of the tax burden imposed upon them by the King of England and the abuse of power that was used to collect the  taxes imposed upon them by the King.

Today we find ourselves in a similar situation-hence the Tea Party movement-the King of England had turned a deaf ear to the concerns of the Colonists-much as our present government has ignored the will of the people-and he paid a dear price-much the same as those politicians who most recently  chose to ignore the people-both of them lost power.

The history of this nation is one of a people wary of taxation. In fact Thomas Jefferson had this to say about taxes...

"To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his father has acquired too much, in order to spare to others who (or whose fathers) have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, "to guarantee to everyone a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."

Prior to the Tea Party movement another movement had already begun in America. A movement who's aim was to scrap the current tax code,abolish the I.R.S. and, totally reform the way taxes are collected in America!

That movement is the FairTax movement. We The People have spoken! now is the time for the newly minted representatives of the people to consider a whole new course for this nation! A course based on fairness. A course based on traditional American principles. A course based upon the idea that the people do not exist to support the government, but, that the government exists to serve the people!

The time has come to consider the FairTax!!

Rockmelt the melding of browsing and social networking!

For the past week their has been a new browser available that promises to revolutionize the way a significant number of people view the web-as well as -social networking sights that browser is Rockmelt.

Backed by the creator of Netscape,Marc Andreesen,Rockmelt is the brain child of two plucky entrepreneurs Tom Howe and Eric Vishria.

According to Rockmelt's blog... 

"RockMelt does more than just navigate Web pages. It makes it easy for you to do the things you do every single day on the Web: share and keep up with your friends, stay up-to-date on news and information, and search. And of course, RockMelt is fast, secure, and stable because it’s built on Chromium, the open source project behind Google’s Chrome browser. It’s your browser – re-imagined and built for how you use the Web."  

and the experience of this blogger  is that it delivers quite well on this promise. Given that fact that Rockmelt is still in beta form -from the perspective of this very thrilled user-it does a wonderful job of melding the social networking power of facebook and twitter into a totally new web browsing experience

The two greatest attributes of-Rockmelt are what are called edges-one on the left the on the right-that bring together your favorite RSS feeds on the right and your favorite facebook friends on the left. Now one can see what your friends are face booking about-as well as tweeting- and never leave the page you're working on.

There are also other features-too numerous to mention in this post- that make this new kid on the block worth checking out. However -in the humble opinion of this blogger- if you are a regular user of facebook and twitter and do a lot of research and work on the web you will not be disappointed in Rockmelt. In fact I like it so well it has become my browser of choice for posting my blog,as well as,surfing the web.

Indeed Rockmelt is the melding of browser and social network into a whole new animal the "social browser"!!

Salute to veterans 2010

This video is posted to say thank you to our brave men and women who have sacrificed so very much so that we and even other peoples can live free!
                                 Thank you all so very very much.

The mystery missile. Could it have been fired accidentally?

An apparent missile launch-caught on tape-has turned into an event that can only be described as "bizarre".

Yesterday evening a CBS affiliate in Los Angeles caught on tape a missile-what some are calling an ICBM-being launched 35 miles off the west coast near Los Angeles.

At the time of this writing no one in the Pentagon  is admitting that any branch of our armed services was behind the launch. What they have said is that it was not a "threat to our national security",and, that it was not from a "foreign military".

The Pentagon is now saying that what was caught on tape was likely an "aircraft". Please! There is no way that what -even the casual observer can tell is a rocket-was caught on tape is an "aircraft"!!

This is obviously a missile case closed! What is not apparent is why was it launched,and, who launched it? It seems that this may well have been an accidental launching of an American ICBM,and if so, that means that it was destroyed sometime after launch,and, that there may well be a warhead lying somewhere at the bottom of the Pacific ocean somewhere between California and Alaska!

Examine the evidence. Absolutely no one in the U.S. military is claiming this thing,yet the government services are saying it is not a threat and didn't come from a foreign military. That leaves-by default-only one other source the U.S. military.

If this missile had been launched by a private organisation-as some have suggested- they would surely have put out a press release by now. If it had been hobbyists surely they would have been noticed before they could launch simply because this thing is obviously a very large rocket. The foreign component seems unlikely because there is just so much hi tech gadgetry on the floor of the Pacific Ocean-that is designed to track subs- that it would seem impossible that an enemy sub could get that close to our shores!!

Time will likely show that this was an unintended launch of -what could well be a nuclear-missile. This sort of thing has happened before-remember the cruise missile carried by a B52 over Iran-this is likely a scandal,as well as, a cover up in the making

We The People give the Democrats a drubbing of historic proportions

That's right-We The People-gave the liberal Democrats in the house of Representatives a drubbing, nay, a beating that they should not soon forget! If they do forget it will be at their own political peril. Come to think of it those who got elected last night would do well to heed the lessons of this election!!

We the people are a very tolerant,forgiving, and long suffering people. We are,and,always have been more likely to suffer abuses than to turn to revolution. However when pushed to a certain point the people of this country always have ,and, will rise up and push back against a government out of control.

The founders of this nation chaffed for a long time under the yoke of British tyranny until they could take it no longer and were forced by circumstances to rise up and violently throw off the chains of the oppressor.

Thank God that in their wisdom-as well as being guided by God- they gave us the Constitution that we have today which makes possible a bloodless revolution like we witnessed last night-Nov. 3,2010-and make no mistake a revolution it was.

After a long series of abuses by the Democrats in the house-as well as the Senate-lead by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid the people said enough is enough and threw the bums out!!!

The Founding fathers sought to constrain and regulate the Government. Theses people sought to constrain and regulate us!!

The founders felt that Government existed to serve the people. They thought the people exist to serve them!!

They were oh so wrong and learned a very hard lesson . DO NOT IGNORE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!

Take heed Republicans and Tea Party politicians who will soon be heading to Congress the eyes of the people are upon you. The people of this great nation have spoken ,and, they have said take heed of the Constitution, respect the will of the people, and most of all, do what is in the best interests of this nation,and, not your own narrow political interests.

So now we work for them: Scary new national ad from Citizens Against Government Waste

Citizens Against Government Waste-or C.A.G.W.- has produced a new campaign add that should scare the beejeezus out of us all! It deals with the fact that all the money we have recently borrowed for so called stimulus came from the Chinese.

The name of the video is "Chinese Professor".  It shows a smug Chinese college professor-from the not so distant future- lecturing his students about how three great civilizations fell,these being the Greek, Roman and American civilizations. His premise is they fell because they forgot the "principles" that made them great!

Never was a truer statement made-especially as it concerns present day America-this country in recent years has almost totally abandoned the principles upon which it was founded. These being the principle of limited government,almost unbridled individual freedom and the freedom for anyone or organization with a good idea and capital to create products and services for profit.

We became the envy because individuals were free to dream,create, and strive for the stars without interference from the government. We became the envy of the world because the government got off the backs of the people and allowed them to work, produce and create and keep the fruits of their labor for themselves. We became the envy of the world because individuals were allowed to pool their capital and create goods and services that satisfied the needs of the public at large without the government taxing, and, regulating it to death.

Today however is a different story now the -all knowing- government seeks to guide and control every aspect of our lives. Those in power think that government creates jobs,and that, throwing money at any problem will solve it. That basically is the whole premise of the failed stimulus,that the government can borrow tons of money from China,take over the economy,dictate to the individual, and miraculously the economy will heal itself and prosperity will break out everywhere.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. We have began the trip down the road to fascism-the condition where corporations are privately owned but dictated to by the government-and it cannot end well.

The Chinese are becoming what we used to be at the beginning of the twentieth century. They are becoming the economic powerhouse of the world and they must be laughing their arses off at us.

If their is not a radical change in the direction of this country we will indeed be working for them,not as free men, but as slaves,and they will be laughing all the way to the bank!!

Time to tell the New National Socialists to "Pack up and get out!!"

TPBF found this at another Blogspot blog "Our Lives,Our Fortunes,Our Sacred honor" It's a video produced by Sharp Elbows St Louis.

Seems these intrepid bloggers-and I'm proud to say fellow Missourians-had the moxie to send Russ Carnahan a Representative from Missouri three hundred boxes so he could "pack up and get out"!!

Conservatives rejoice! Our time has come. The "New National Socialists"-A.K.A. the Democratic Party-have revealed themselves for what they are,scheming,lying,kniving,elitist snobs. They hold the average citizen in disdain,and look down their noses at us common peasants.

For much too long they have arrogantly ignored the will of the people. However the people will be heard. Come November third quite a  few of these folks will-God willing-be packing up and getting out of Washington to make room for a new class of Citizen Legislators. The American Revolution lives on!!

Long live Our republic. Long live the Constitution. Long live the United States of America!

An open letter to NPR concerning the unjust firing of Juan Williams

I would like to preface this by saying I am a conservative. Juan Williams and I would have some very strong differences of opinion. However I have always had a great deal of respect for Mr. Williams.

He has always-from what I have seen and heard-spoken what he believed to be the truth. He is a man of his convictions and does not shift positions depending on the prevailing political winds. What NPR has done to this man-for simply speaking honestly- is unconscionable!

Political correctness is a cancer that is eating away our freedom. Political correctness came out of Leninist and Stalinist Russia. It is an idea that you dare not speak an opinion that is contrary to what the "Party" line is. That party need not be the "Communist Party". It can be modern American Liberalism,current progressive thought or even conservative orthodoxy.

If I were on an airplane and saw some folks of Mideastern descent dressed up like jihadi's I would be nervous too!

I was once on a flight from San Diego shortly after Sept. 11. In fact it was one of the first flights after the no fly ban had been imposed following Sept. 11

There were six men on that flight of obvious Arab,or,Mideastern descent. Two were seated at the front of the cabin,two in the middle,and two near the rear. I was most definitely nervous. The flight crew were nervous too. About forty minutes into the flight all the passengers were ordered to stay in their seats for the rest of the flight and then the flight crew chose what they deemed to be loyal citizens to stand in a criss cross pattern in the isle to prevent anyone from storming the cockpit.

Bottom line it wasn't little old ladies from Pokeepsi that are spreading death and mayhem around the world,it is,Muslim fanatics,and it is only natural to be nervous about wondering if the guy in a white robe with a turban,or,a woman with a burka on your flight might want to kill you for being an infidel. After all it is a prime directive of Islam to kill the infidel wherever you may find him!!

Nancy Pelosi:My Job to get Democrats elected

In the video above one can see- Nancy Pelosi-a woman I once called a tyrant in "An open letter to Nancy Pelosi"-say her "priority is to get Democrats elected to congress! It seems she has all but forgotten that Her job is to Represent and serve the people of her district in California! Her first,foremost,and, ever present priority should be serving and representing her constituents,not,scoring points for fellow Dems.

After that outlandish statement she goes on to state that Her time is money and-with what can only be described as hubris and arrogance-say's..."whether I get a larger majority in my district is beside the point"...this is arrogance in the extreme!!

It appears that Nancy is taking for granted that she will get a majority of the vote in her re-election bid. Does Queen Nancy know something the rest of us don't? I know all the pundits of the MSM seem to think their is no sense in covering this race-after all how could John Dennis possibly win-and it is quite apparent that Pelosi thinks she has been anointed to that position,but, it ain't over till it's over!

There is still plenty of time before the election,and,the only poll that really counts is the one on November second. Pelosi's arrogance-and apparent lust for power-may well be her undoing

In recent times Pelosi's favorable rating have been dropping like a rock and it appears that Dennis may have as high as a 22 percent backing by likely voters with 17 percent undecided. Keep in mind that what poll results are available may be underestimated. The major organizations seem to be ignoring the race.

In recent elections the polls have often been wrong  with challengers delivering stunning upsets to incumbents that the pollsters and pundits thought were shew ins.

Ms Pelosi would do well to reign in her arrogance-as well as taking her re-election for granted- this is an election year like none seen for a very long time. The natives are restless-so to speak- and Queen Nancy could well find herself in the unemployment line!!
One can only hope

Strange that no one seems to be following John Dennis vs Nancy Pelosi

http://birchtreesustainablestudios.blogspot.com/2010/09/results-of-poll-for-ca-8.html

It seems that no one has the time or inclination to follow the race for California district 8 the house seat held by Nancy Pelosi! Just try finding poll results for John Dennis vs. Nancy Pelosi. They are virtually nonexistent.

(By the way be sure and watch the Queen of arrogance in the video at the bottom of this post)

The most recent poll to be found at the time of this writing comes from a site called Birch tree Sustainable Studios. This is a poll done by an amature and the individual that did it even gives this disclaimer...

"I want to state up front that this poll is an extremely tiny sample size for an amateur poll of 14 surveys. A little background on how I conducted the poll, I placed ads in the 8th Congressional District via Facebook linking it to SurveyMonkey. As you can see by the ad to your left it was well designed, as I achieved a 16% survey completion rate which is very good for a randomized survey. I targeted that ad to San Franciscoians over the age of 18. I had to cancel my survey before it achieved 'scientifically' valid results because it was getting expensive running an ad in a market where CPMS were routinely over $3"

It seems a little odd that it is so hard to find information about the campaign of John Dennis against Nancy Pelosi. One would think by watching the Marxist propagandists in the MSM that Pelosi wasn't even running for re-election this year much less being opposed!!

Why has there been such silence about this race? It seems there was a bit of a dust up over a Dennis campaign commercial likening Pelosi to the "Wicked Witch of the West" from The Wizard of Oz...



However for all intents and purposes it seem john Dennis is a nonperson. Could it be that the queen of arrogance has worked with her minions in the liberal press to spike this story? It's enough to make on wonder.

Take time to watch "Her Arrogance" proclaim that she hasn't got the time to debate her opponent! Rather HER priority is to get Democrats elected to national office.

Whatever happened to representing the people of your district Queen Nancy? Watch Her Arrogance in the video below!!

Thirty eight black Republicans running for national office the most under reported story of the 2010 political season

In what is without a doubt the most under reported story of the 2010 political season it seems that there are no less than 38 black Republicans running for national office. That's right 38-three for Congress thirty five for the House-how is it that the "Old Media" has missed this? Then again how is it that the "New Media" hasn't picked up on this?

This blogger has to admit he missed it himself. If not for the Laura Ingraham Show-and her guest today Michael Steele-this blogger would have been clueless! In fact Steele made a statement in June concerning the historic amount of black Americans running for office this year on the federal,state,and local level...(click here for the full list).

This is amazing! The Republican party historically was the party of black Americans until the 30's when somehow the party of slavery-the Democrats-managed somehow to win them over to their side. What followed is a sad story of liberal philosophy and theories almost singlehandedly destroying the fabric of the American black social community. In fact through the endless entitlement mentality of the Democrats black Americans-as well as a multitude of other races-have been enslaved by dependency on the all-mighty government!

Hoorah! for these great Americans of color who have rejected the victim mentality of the Marxist Progressives-regressives actually- and have taken a stand for freedom,individual liberty,and the founding principles of this nation!

These are truly historic times that we are living in. It is clear that the people of this nation have had enough and after-the only poll that counts in- November the political discourse in Washington is quite likely going to change radically. We have the chance to have a whole new class of citizen legislators going to Washington and when they arrive-the professional political elite of- both parties are going to have a rude awakening as  these new representatives of the people make their mark!

The American people are a long suffering people-however-they will not tolerate abuses endlessly. The pols in Washington have awakened a sleeping giant and they are going to learn a valuable lesson in democracy from none other than "We the people"

Yes "We the people" red,black,yellow,white,what have you are rising up and taking OUR government back!

Long live freedom, long live democracy and long live the United States of America!!

MTV's phony Obama townhall meeting:Actors wanted

Obama gets book thrown at him. Where is the media coverage on this?

What has American politics come to? It seems that Barack Hussein Obama is so desperate for followers that he has actually turned to Hollywood to provide him with a receptive audience for a scheduled MTV town hall meeting.

The Drudge report had this link this morning to a site called casting.backstage.com with a job posting seeking actors for....

" PRESIDENT OBAMA TOWN HALL, DC MTV, BET, and CMT (prods.) are casting the audience for A Conversation with President Obama, a town hall meeting with President Obama."

As of this posting Drudge is showing a link to Jake Tapper's ABC News page titled "Casting Call for Audience of Obama’s MTV Town Hall?"

Is this what it has come to for "O"? Traditionally Presidents have had their party hand out tickets to the general public for this sort of thing, but, not Barack, seems the Prez is so insecure that he has to have the audience vetted ahead of time to make sure no one asks any- what can we say-uncomfortable questions.

Barack Obama is a one term wonder. He is another Jimmy Carter! This guy knows that He and his minions Pelosi and Reid -as well as- a large number of incumbent Democrats have had it come November.

It is truly sad that it has come to this. Having to handpick what amounts to actors to stage a phony "town hall event" in order to prop up his failed socialist policies.

The American people are waking up. They will no longer be hoodwinked by this pretender and his lackeys in the Democratically controlled Congress.

By the way... the pic at the top of this page shows a book being thrown at Obama during a rally in Philadelphia! Where oh where is the MSM on this one?? When W had a shoe thrown at him-by a disgruntled Iraqi- the media was all over it!! However Barack gets a book thrown at him by an American audience and not a word!!

This blogger had to depend on a British news source "Mail Online" for this information. Can anyone say "LAPDOG PRESS"!! That is what the "traditional American Media" has become a lapdog for Obama.

It used to be that the MSM used to claim to be fair and unbiased. I say I prefer "Fair and Balanced".

One Nation March now that's astroturf

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

I'm almost ashamed to admit that this morning i was watching msnbc when Tameron Hall brings on Ed Shultz to talk a bout an event that he is going to host called the "One Nation March"-asked by Tameron what it was about Ed responded-is a chance for progressives to show "they oppose everything the Tea Party stands for"!!

Wow! I so wish i could have recorded this unbelievable comment by this liberal,progressive,nut. I take his statement to mean that he-Ed Shultz- also opposes all that the Tea Party stands for. Lets take a look at that. What exactly has the movement called the Tea Party-or taxed enough already-stand for?

Number one:  lower taxes! evidently old Ed and his robots on the left like giving their money to the government to be thrown down a rat hole.

Number two: A return to the Constitution and the founding principles of this nation,individual freedom,religious liberty,and freedom of speech, to name but a few.

Number three: This is the most important limited government tightly controlled by the people,and, therefore more responsive to the people!

Yes it appears Ed and his fellow liberal lackeys in the labor movement-like the guy in the video above-the NAACP-and all the other so called progressive organizations that will round up their members and use some of Soros's billions to bus them to Washington hate freedom, want more taxes, and believe that "group rights"  trump "individual rights" . Worse yet they obviously think that it is okay for the government to totally run roughshod over the American people,ignore their voices, and cram any thing they damn well please down the voters throat!!.

Well from where I stand  all I can say about all these progressive loons,and, their "One Nation March" is now that's AstroTurf!!!

Is the future of journalism government control

Once again our all knowing government in Washington is considering another bail out. This time it is a bailout of the aged and dying print media.

What a crock of baloney! In May the Federal Trade Commission  issued what it calls a "staff discussion draft titled "Potential Policy Recommendations To Support The reinvention Of Journalism".

What the hay! The government didn't invent journalism why in the world do they have to have a hand in "reinventing journalism"?

I have posted on this subject before in a piece called "Bail out Mania". I can't believe we are even having this discussion. In the old days when an industry or service or whatever became obsolete,outmoded or outdated they went out of business.

Not any more-today if what you produce becomes obsolete - the government will come to your rescue to blame the innovators and to prop up the flawed product that you produce that no one wants anymore.

This is basically the case with the print media. Hard copy-hold in your hands- newspapers are obsolete!! Besides that the majority of the nations newspapers have become nothing more than mouthpieces of the liberal progressive movement. They are extremely biased and the public is sick of it.

People don't trust the main stream media any more. Now the FTC wants to prop these shysters up. This is an open invitation for corruption of all sorts. Ultimately this will lead to government control of the media in one way or another. How critical are news organizations going to be if they are counting on the government dole to survive?

Fortunately for those who cringe at the idea of the Feds bailing out the media they have provided a way for those concerned to give them feedback about this ill conceived notion at this( link click to learn more) the subject category is "From Town Criers to Bloggers: How Will Journalism Survive the Internet Age?"

Here is the answer.Journalism-as it is known in America-is a child of the free market and capitalism. Journalism doesn't need the government to save it! True journalism will survive on it's own.

It's interesting that in their subject matter they mention town criers and bloggers.This country came into existence as a result of people who took advantage a a new phenomena -in their time- cheap printing presses. Seems every body started producing their own broadsides and news sheets.

Well that is what is happening today! Social media and blogging software and sites have brought new life to an old American tradition of "Citizen journalism" However the powers that be -both in government and the old media-don't like this new re-empowerment of the people. In fact it is my opinion that they want to kill it!

That is what all this hand wringing about "saving journalism" is all about!! For years a hand full of newspapers and three television networks had a strangle hold on information-but alas no more- and they hate it.

Now their "saviors" at the Federal Trade Commission are trying to repay the liberal media for all their years of support for big government by bailing them out!!

It is high time for all of us to take advantage of the opportunity to oppose this trash go to their "Town Criers to Bloggers" page today and voice your opposition to them today!!

Great new addition to The Music of Freedom page

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."

The Son of God considered us to be his friends and laid down His life so we could be free. Our soldiers have laid down their lives for an entire world so that they could be free.

Contrast that with the terrorists who kill in order to enslave.

Indeed where would we be without soldiers and Jesus!

New report on dangers of Sharia alarming

The past week saw the roll out of a shocking new report from the Center for Security Policy which should be must reading for any American who loves this country and prizes his or her freedom!

According to the Center for Security Policy's home page this eye opening report is...

"the result of months of analysis, discussion and drafting by a group of top security policy experts concerned with the preeminent totalitarian threat of our time: the legal-political-military doctrine known within Islam as "shariah." It is designed to provide a comprehensive and articulate "second opinion" on the official characterizations and assessments of this threat as put forth by the United States government."

The American people have been indoctrinated since 911-by the Main Stream Media-to believe that Islam is a tolerant religion of peace. A candid look at the facts shows this assertion to be false. Islam as practiced in the vast majority of Islamic nations is not tolerant in fact it is totally intolerant to any religion other than Islam.

Take a moment to google "Muslims killing Christians" and one will find numerous stories of Islamic intolerance of other faiths. Another good one is "Indonesian Christians attacked"!

The fact is that many Muslim nations like Saudi Arabia forbid the importation of Bibles and actually will kill any of their own people who happen to convert to a religion other than Islam.


So what is Sharia? According to this report from C.S.P sharia is....

"Shariah is characterized as a “complete way of life” (social, cultural,

military, religious, and political), governed from cradle to grave by Islamic law."

Islam-and by extension Sharia-is a comprehensive program of government that is in total contradiction-and-opposition to the Constitution of this country and the values of freedom and personal autonomy we hold dear. Islam seeks to order and control every aspect of personal life-as well as-political and religious life.

As I mentioned before we have been told numerous times that the majority of Muslims are moderate. I question this very seriously consider this quote from an article titled "Why Sharia"...

"In the Muslim world, on the other hand, the reputation of Shariah has undergone an extraordinary revival in recent years...Today, 66 percent of Egyptians, 60 percent of Pakistanis and 54 percent of Jordanians say that Shariah should be the only source of legislation in their countries."

For the devout Muslim sharia is to be sought through any and all means either "Dawa" which is the call to Islam."Civilizational Jihad" which is to transform a culture from within,or, direct Jihad, and we all know what that is. Even as I write this there are numerous examples right here in America of Muslims practicing civilizational jihad by seeking to have judges impose sharia law in certain court cases.

On  page 5 of "Why Sharia" the author makes this assertion...

"The Islamist movement, like other modern ideologies, seeks to capture the existing state and then transform society through the tools of modern government. Its vision for bringing Shariah to bear therefore incorporates two common features of modern government: the legislature and the constitution"

Take heed America there is a movement afoot today-as shown by the video at the top of this page- to transform America into an Islamic state. The Islamic movement in America is using a gradualist policy to make slow incremental changes in our society. However if the day comes that they become a significant force within this country they will likely become quite bold in their actions and demands-and most likely- violent.

In closing I urge the reader to take a moment and also watch this video. Three Things about Islam.
