An Australian artist who filmed her Holocaust survivor father and family dancing to Gloria Gaynor hit "I Will Survive" at Auschwitz said Thursday she was surprised but unbowed by criticism.

Melbourne woman Jane Korman said she had not anticipated such a negative backlash to her clip, which has gone viral since hitting video sharing site YouTube, but was not deterred from exploring the Holocaust through art.

"The response has definitely not put me off. In fact, it has been very encouraging, even if it might be negative," Korman told AFP by telephone from Israel. "It has kept this topic alive, and that was my point."

"Dancing Auschwitz" was shot in June 2009 and originally formed part of an exhibition at a Melbourne university.

It shows Korman, her 89-year-old father Adolk and her three children dancing in the infamous Nazi concentration camp, along with other sites linked to the Holocaust in Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic.

The footage ends with the elderly survivor describing the family's visit as "really a historical moment."

While Korman said she began creating performance art in an effort to combat negative public perceptions about Jews and Israel, the most strident criticism of the clip had come from the Jewish community.

"There has been a range of opinions -- most against," said Vic Alhadeff, chief executive of the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies.

"(Auschwitz) is the largest Jewish cemetery in the world, and many people believe it is inappropriate to dance in a cemetery."

Alhadeff said that while people could never presume to suggest to a Holocaust survivor how they should celebrate survival, there was a need to consider the feelings of other survivors.

"One has a right and a duty to celebrate survival, and there are infinite ways of celebrating this," he added.

Korman said she understood the response, but believed her intentions had been misunderstood.

"If I did it somewhere else it wouldn't have the power to bring people to think, to contemplate about the Holocaust and to think about it, and to make the Holocaust alive in a fresh way."

Auschwitz was built by the Nazis regime in 1940 and became the largest centre for the extermination of Jewish people during the so-called "final solution of the Jewish question."

A total of 1.1 million people perished at the camp and it became an enduring symbol of the Holocaust.

Another liberal who could not care less about the people who are being killed,

nor about the land the U.S. has given over to the drug lords.

Once again, our Internationally embarrassing excuse of a leader, is caught in a lie.

In other words, the land that is being taken and the folks that are being killed by the wetbacks are of no concern to Obama.

They are just collateral damage of his political ambitions.

This clown has no idea what to do, so he surrenders.

Our President is such a COWARD!!!

He needs to removed from office !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is truly sad, to see these young people, fixate on a loser as a hero.

I wonder if they will grow up to be losers as well.

The problem is, Liberals are never truly sorry for their actions.
They only express sorrow after their transgressions are made public.
It is like they think it is OK to do these types of things as long as they don't get caught,
but when they do get caught, they pull out an excuse from their 'oops file'.

It makes me wonder which is closer to who he truly is, the guy that went postal on the street, or the guy that sat down and thought about how he should explain away his actions.

Apology unacceptable.

Tax Scam Uncle Sam? You Oughta Be Fired! Says Utah Rep. Chaffetz

Chaffetz Wants to 'Ferret Out' Federal Workers With Unpaid Taxes

By DEVIN DWYER

WASHINGTON, March 18, 2010—

Working for Uncle Sam comes with some great perks, like job stability, posh benefits packages, and in many cases, average salaries that are higher than what the same job pays in the private sector.

That's why Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, is irked that nearly 100,000 civilian federal employees owe the IRS $962 million in back taxes. He thinks they should pay up or be fired.

Chaffetz has introduced a bill that calls for the federal government to "ferret out" civilian employees who have "seriously delinquent tax debt" and prevent the hiring of other tax delinquents.

More than 3 percent of the 2.8 million federal civilian employees owed the Treasury unpaid federal income taxes in 2008, according to the IRS. If you include retirees and military service members, the numbers go from nearly 100,000 up to 276,000 current or former workers who owe $3 billion in taxes.

"If you get to the point where the government is putting a lien on their property and they've exhausted their appeals & the right thing to do is fire them as a federal worker," said Chaffetz. "If you're going to take federal tax dollars, you should be paying your federal taxes."

Currently, only IRS employees can be terminated for non-payment of federal income taxes -- a measure Chaffetz wants extended to all federal agencies. The IRS has the lowest level of tax delinquency among its employees than at any other federal agencies, according to the most recent statistics.

But skeptics of Chaffetz's plan argue firing the delinquents en masse circumvents due process and could only hamper efforts to recoup the cash.

Firing federal employees as soon as a lien is imposed by the IRS would be "prior to any due process hearing," said Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on the federal workforce.

"We have a system that's in place. For a federal employee, we have the [IRS] garnish their pay at 15 percent -- which is higher than for the regular taxpayer," he said. "We're getting the money back."

Wade Morrow, assistant general counsel for the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employees union, said workers should be held to account for back taxes but that Chaffetz's rule would not accommodate the complexities of individual cases.

"There may be other facts and circumstances that you should consider," he said, adding that some individuals may have become delinquent due to sickness or divorce complications or due to a mistake in tax filings. Morrow also said the most serious offenders could face termination under existing guidelines if the tax delinquencies interfere with their jobs.

"Getting them to pay back what they owe is preferable to having them all fired, in which case you're not going to get anything at all," said Morrow.

Chaffetz: Firing Federal Employee Tax Delinquents Aligns With Obama in Principle

Chaffetz conceded the terminations would probably make it harder for the individuals to pay their tax bills and said employees appealing to the IRS or "making a good faith effort" to repay them should be spared.

But he said a broad purge of tax delinquents is still justified and consistent with a principle laid out by President Obama for contractors employed by the federal government.

Earlier this year, Obama ordered federal agencies to terminate contracts with companies who don't pay federal taxes.

"It's simply wrong for companies to take taxpayer dollars and not be taxpayers themselves," the president said Jan. 20. "We need to insist on the same sense of responsibility in Washington that so many of you strive to uphold in your own lives, in your own families and in your own businesses."

Democrats in both the House and the Senate have introduced legislation codifying new rules for federal contractors who don't pay their taxes. Chaffetz is the first and only Republican so far to co-sponsor the House version.

"I think the president's right in the case [of companies] and now I'd like it expanded to federal workers as well," he said. "If you're going to take federal tax dollars, you should be paying your federal taxes."

The bill is currently under consideration by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

 "The word 'God' can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on one's spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is acceptable to replace the word 'God' with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate."

Here is the whole story

The City Government of Gilbert Arizona feels a need to regulate who you have over to your place, and what it is you talk about.

I am not kidding.

They felt a need to pass a law that says if you have some of your friends over, you are not permitted to talk about God.

You can talk about anything else you want to, but not about God.

If you do, you would be breaking the law.

You see the Law says that you can't hold a Bible Study in your Home.

- Ronald Reagan

When Obama talks about the economy, keep in mind this video, and what his history is.

‘Work’:

When I use the term below, please understand, that when I am talking about the private sector, it refers to doing a task at or below the amount of money being paid to have it done. In other words, an action.

When used about the public workers, this definition cannot apply since the concept of earning what they get paid does not apply. Therefore the term ‘work’ to these workers, means showing up. In other words, a place.

There is one thing that really bugs the heck out of me about all this talk about taxes, budget problems, and fiscal woes our government is going thru. No one, has ever brought up one of the simplest ways of helping to solve it. How about being more productive?

How about being more efficient?

In the private sector, people need to earn their way, or they are out, or the company folds. People know, that if the company does not make money, it is over and everyone loses their jobs. There is no tax increase  there is no take money from another agency or slush fund.  It is over.

The public workers however see none of this. They have no concept of having to be as productive as possible in order to keep their job. They work under an umbrella of a seemingly endless supply of money that they are entitled to no matter how inefficient they work. They feel secure in the knowledge that with their Union contracts in hand, that the idea of being held accountable for actually earning the money (producing more than they are taking) is not their problem. It is not their job to make sure that the agency they work for is financial stable and self sustaining.

Public workers have no concept of what it means to earn the money they get. They are indifferent, lazy, and about as productive as a dead jackass.

Along with that, they are arrogant elitists that feel they deserve every penny they get. To them, it makes no difference if they actually do something or not.  They walk around bellyaching and whinning  about having  to be there for eight hours, and that is what they are being paid for, 8 hours, and if people want them to actually do something, then by god, they should be paid more.

They feel nothing about taking money for days they do not work.  And, if by chance they happened to be called in on one of their off days that thet get paid for in full, then all hell breaks loose and they feel imposed upon.

Crying about having to earn their money. That attitude goes back to childhood. Crying about having to pick up their room.

People in government tell us about how wonderful it is going to be when the government is taking care of all our problems, all of our needs.

“Government” is not the epitome of higher intelligence. It is not a physical, caring, singularity that has as a purpose to ‘care for’ the people. It is not some all seeing, all understanding mystical incomprehensible devine establishment that is be inherently worshipped, revered, admired and respected.

Government, by its very nature of being comprised of people that have chosen to get onto the public payroll, is a gathering, or coven of like minded individuals that actually care very little, if any for the underlings that have voted them into government.

The idea, that the public, by electing these selfish, self serving individuals can place them into this arena of public service, will somehow morph them into a glowing halo adorned saint of public trust, worthy of nothing less than respect, admiration, and complete sevitude, is at least some sort of mind control that goes way beyond what anyone could comfortably handle thinking about. And even though we do not know what it is in particular, we are indeed getting tired of it.

It seems to me, that rather than place more tax burden on people who work, it would be better to simply make people on the public payroll, earn what they get. And by earn, I mean they should produce more than they make.

By the way, here is an example of government workers not doing their job, and costing someone their life.

 Climategate U turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995

By Jonathan Petre
Last updated at 5:12 PM on 14th February 2010

• Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing
• There has been no global warming since 1995
• Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes

Data: Professor Phil Jones admitted his record keeping is 'not as good as it should be'

The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.

Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers. 

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.

The admissions will be seized on by sceptics as fresh evidence that there are serious flaws at the heart of the science of climate change and the orthodoxy that recent rises in temperature are largely man-made.

Professor Jones has been in the spotlight since he stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit after the leaking of emails that sceptics claim show scientists were manipulating data.

The raw data, collected from hundreds of weather stations around the world and analysed by his unit, has been used for years to bolster efforts by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to press governments to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

 Following the leak of the emails, Professor Jones has been accused of ‘scientific fraud’ for allegedly deliberately suppressing information and refusing to share vital data with critics.

Discussing the interview, the BBC’s environmental analyst Roger Harrabin said he had spoken to colleagues of Professor Jones who had told him that his strengths included integrity and doggedness but not record-keeping and office tidying.

Mr Harrabin, who conducted the interview for the BBC’s website, said the professor had been collating tens of thousands of pieces of data from around the world to produce a coherent record of temperature change.

That material has been used to produce the ‘hockey stick graph’ which is relatively flat for centuries before rising steeply in recent decades.

According to Mr Harrabin, colleagues of Professor Jones said ‘his office is piled high with paper, fragments from over the years, tens of thousands of pieces of paper, and they suspect what happened was he took in the raw data to a central database and then let the pieces of paper go because he never realised that 20 years later he would be held to account over them’.

Asked by Mr Harrabin about these issues, Professor Jones admitted the lack of organisation in the system had contributed to his reluctance to share data with critics, which he regretted.

But he denied he had cheated over the data or unfairly influenced the scientific process, and said he still believed recent temperature rises were predominantly man-made.

Asked about whether he lost track of data, Professor Jones said: ‘There is some truth in that. We do have a trail of where the weather stations have come from but it’s probably not as good as it should be.

‘There’s a continual updating of the dataset. Keeping track of everything is difficult. Some countries will do lots of checking on their data then issue improved data, so it can be very difficult. We have improved but we have to improve more.’

He also agreed that there had been two periods which experienced similar warming, from 1910 to 1940 and from 1975 to 1998, but said these could be explained by natural phenomena whereas more recent warming could not.

He further admitted that in the last 15 years there had been no ‘statistically significant’ warming, although he argued this was a blip rather than the long-term trend.

And he said that the debate over whether the world could have been even warmer than now during the medieval period, when there is evidence of high temperatures in northern countries, was far from settled.

Sceptics believe there is strong evidence that the world was warmer between about 800 and 1300 AD than now because of evidence of high temperatures in northern countries.

But climate change advocates have dismissed this as false or only applying to the northern part of the world.

Professor Jones departed from this consensus when he said: ‘There is much debate over whether the Medieval Warm Period was global in extent or not. The MWP is most clearly expressed in parts of North America, the North Atlantic and Europe and parts of Asia.

‘For it to be global in extent, the MWP would need to be seen clearly in more records from the tropical regions and the Southern hemisphere. There are very few palaeoclimatic records for these latter two regions.

‘Of course, if the MWP was shown to be global in extent and as warm or warmer than today, then obviously the late 20th Century warmth would not be unprecedented. On the other hand, if the MWP was global, but was less warm than today, then the current warmth would be unprecedented.’

Sceptics said this was the first time a senior scientist working with the IPCC had admitted to the possibility that the Medieval Warming Period could have been global, and therefore the world could have been hotter then than now.

Professor Jones criticised those who complained he had not shared his data with them, saying they could always collate their own from publicly available material in the US. And he said the climate had not cooled ‘until recently – and then barely at all. The trend is a warming trend’.

Mr Harrabin told Radio 4’s Today programme that, despite the controversies, there still appeared to be no fundamental flaws in the majority scientific view that climate change was largely man-made.

But Dr Benny Pieser, director of the sceptical Global Warming Policy Foundation, said Professor Jones’s ‘excuses’ for his failure to share data were hollow as he had shared it with colleagues and ‘mates’.

He said that until all the data was released, sceptics could not test it to see if it supported the conclusions claimed by climate change advocates.

He added that the professor’s concessions over medieval warming were ‘significant’ because they were his first public admission that the science was not settled.

Judicial Watch Files Lawsuit against LA County Sheriff for Denying Press Interview with Inmate

The "Full Disclosure Network" Seeks Interview with Richard Fine, Incarcerated During Legal Battle against Corruption in Los Angeles Judicial System

Contact Information:
Press Office 202-646-5172, ext 305

Washington, DC -- February 4, 2010

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that fights government corruption and judicial abuse, announced today that it has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Leslie Dutton and the American Association of Women against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Sheriff Leroy D. Baca for denying Dutton’s “Full Disclosure Network” an opportunity to interview inmate Richard Fine.

Mr. Fine is under incarceration indefinitely for contempt of court in Los Angeles County’s Men’s Central Jail stemming from his legal efforts to counter alleged corruption in the Los Angeles County court system.

Plaintiffs allege the Sheriff’s Department and Baca have violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

Since April 2009, the Full Disclosure Network, an Emmy Award-winning public affairs program available on public access channels and over the Internet, has been attempting to interview Mr. Fine for its “Judicial Benefits and Court Corruption” series.

The Full Disclosure Network and Mr. Fine have been highly critical of a “double dipping” scheme by Los Angeles County to compensate judges with benefits and perks they are already receiving from the state. (Judicial Watch has filed a separate lawsuit over this same issue.)

The Full Disclosure Network has also been critical of the decision to incarcerate Mr. Fine.

According to Judicial Watch’s complaint, filed on January 27, 2010: “Defendants Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Baca have repeatedly denied Plaintiff Dutton’s and the American Association of Women’s requests to interview Mr. Fine at the Men’s Central Jail.

[These denials] have been arbitrary and capricious, and, on information and belief, also have been unlawfully based, at least in part, on Plaintiff Dutton’s and the American Association of Women’s coverage and criticism of Mr. Fine’s continuing, indefinite incarceration for civil contempt.”

As the complaint notes, while Sheriff Baca has repeatedly denied the Full Disclosure Network’s requests for interviews, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times was granted access to an interview with Mr. Fine for an article published in the June 7, 2009 edition of the newspaper.

In April 2009, a deputy for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department informed Dutton no interview with Mr. Fine could take place because “the judge said so,” despite the fact that no copy of a court order to that effect was produced.

In September 2009, Sheriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said that no interview could take place “because it was the policy of [Sheriff Baca] not to allow interviews of Mr. Fine.”

“It certainly appears Sheriff Baca was playing favorites with the press, denying our client the opportunity to interview Mr. Fine because he didn’t like what the network’s editorial content,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

“Obviously, it is constitutionally impermissible for law enforcement officers to target citizens because of the opinions they express.

We hope other media rally to our cause in this fight to uphold the First Amendment.”

DENVER —
Mike Hermanstorfer was clutching his pregnant wife's hand when her life slipped away in a Colorado hospital on Christmas Eve, and then he cradled his newborn son's limp body seconds after a medical team delivered the baby by Cesarean section.

Minutes later he saw his son come to life in his arms under the feverish attention of doctors, and soon he learned his wife had inexplicably come back to life.

"My legs went out from underneath me," Hermanstorfer said Tuesday. "I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me."

Hermanstorfer's wife, Tracy, went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing during labor on Thursday, said Dr. Stephanie Martin, a maternal fetal medicine specialist at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, where the Hermanstorfers had gone for the birth of their son.

"She had no signs of life. No heartbeat, no blood pressure, she wasn't breathing," said Martin, who had rushed to Hermanstorfer's room to help. "The baby was, it was basically limp, with a very slow heart rate."

After their miraculous recovery, both mother and the baby, named Coltyn, appear healthy with no signs of problems, Martin said.

She said she cannot explain the mother's cardiac arrest or the recovery.

"We did a thorough evaluation and can't find anything that explains why this happened," she said.

Mike Hermanstorfer credits "the hand of God."

"We are both believers ... but this right here, even a nonbeliever — you explain to me how this happened. There is no other explanation," he said.

Asked about divine intervention, Martin said, "Wherever I can get the help, I'll take it."

Tracy Hermanstorfer, 33, was getting prepped for childbirth at the hospital Thursday morning and her 37-year-old husband was by her side when she began to feel sleepy and laid back in her bed.

"She literally stopped breathing and her heart stopped," her husband said. Pandemonium erupted as doctors and nurses tried to revive her with chest compressions and a breathing tube, but nothing worked.

"I was holding her hand when we realized she was gone," Hermanstorfer said. "My entire life just rolled out."

Doctors told him, "We're going to take your son out now. We have been unable to revive her and we're going to take your son out," he recalled.

After the Cesarean section, some of the team rushed his wife to the operating room while the others attended to Coltyn.

"They hand him to me, he's absolutely lifeless," Hermanstorfer said. The doctors went to work on Coltyn as Hermanstorfer held him, and soon he began to breath.

"His life began in my hands," Hermanstorfer said. "That's a feeling like none other. Life actually began in the palm of my hands."

Martin said Tracy Hermanstorfer's pulse returned even before she was wheeled out of the room and into surgery. She estimates Hermanstorfer had no heartbeat for about four minutes.

Hermanstorfer remembers getting sleepy and closing her eyes in her hospital bed, then awakening in the intensive care unit.

Friends have asked if she saw a light or had other experiences described by others who have survived near-death experiences, but she didn't.

"I just felt like I was asleep," she said.

When doctors told her what happened, "I'm like, 'Holy cow, was it that bad? Wow."'

The Hermanstorfers returned Monday to their home in Security, just outside Colorado Springs about 65 miles south of Denver.

Both Mike and Tracy Hermanstorfer worry that she might have a recurrence. Martin said she can't offer the Hermanstorfers much advice because she doesn't know what caused the original problem.

On Tuesday, the couple celebrated a delayed Christmas with their 3-year-old son Kanyen and Tracy Hermanstorfer's 11-year-old son, Austin, from her previous marriage.

She plans to tell Coltyn about his birth when he's old enough to understand.

"I'll tell him everything ... that he's my miracle baby. That he had a tough time coming into this world, that he's my miracle baby and he's still here with us," she said.

She said Austin is worried and confused but the experience is improving his already-close relationship with Mike Hermanstorfer, his stepfather.

Kanyen doesn't understand much except that doctors had to work on his mom in the hospital, she said. His reaction was, "OK, we got the baby, let's go home now."

My daughter sent me this:

John Gebhardt's wife, Mindy, said that this little girl's entire family was executed.

The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her in the head...but they failed to kill her. 

She was cared for in John's hospital and is healing up, but continues to cry and moan. The nurses said John is the only one who seems to calm her down, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both slept in that chair.

The girl is coming along with her healing.

He is a real Star of the war, and represents what  America  is trying to do.

This, my friends, is worth sharing.  Go for it!!  You'll never see things like this in the news.  Please keep this going.  Nothing will happen if you don't, but the American public needs to see pictures like this and needs to realize that what we're doing over there is making a difference..  Even if it is just one little girl at a time.

Listen carefully.
Even though the names have changed, the tactics of the liberals have not changed.
They want to get this Health Care Bill (Socialized Medicine) passed, so it will be impossible, as it is in England, to remove it.

It is absolutely amazing how even though this was recorded years ago, it continues to show how dishonest, and how deaf to the people the liberals are and have been about shoving the idea of Government Run Health care down our throats.

By JOSEPH L. GALLOWAY McClatchy Newspapers

Over the last 12 months, 1,042 soldiers, Marines, sailors and Air Force personnel have given their lives in the terrible duty that is war. Thousands more have come home on stretchers, horribly wounded and facing months or years in military hospitals.

This week, I'm turning my space over to a good friend and former roommate, Army Lt. Col. Robert Bateman , who recently completed a yearlong tour of duty in Iraq and is now back at the Pentagon.

Here's Lt. Col. Bateman's account of a little-known ceremony that fills the halls of the Army corridor of the Pentagon with cheers, applause and many tears every Friday morning. It first appeared on May 17 on the Weblog of media critic and pundit Eric Alterman at the Media Matters for America Web site.

"It is 110 yards from the "E" ring to the "A" ring of the Pentagon. This section of the Pentagon is newly renovated; the floors shine, the hallway is broad, and the lighting is bright. At this instant the entire length of the corridor is packed with officers, a few sergeants and some civilians, all crammed tightly three and four deep against the walls. There are thousands here.

"This hallway, more than any other, is the `Army' hallway. The G3 offices line one side, G2 the other, G8 is around the corner. All Army. Moderate conversations flow in a low buzz. Friends, who may not have seen each other for a few weeks, or a few years, spot each other, cross the way and renew. Everyone shifts to ensure an open path remains down the center. The air conditioning system was not designed for this press of bodies in this area. The temperature is rising already. Nobody cares.

"10:36 hours: The clapping starts at the E-Ring. That is the outermost of the five rings of the Pentagon and it is closest to the entrance to the building. This clapping is low, sustained, and hearty. It is applause with a deep emotion behind it as it moves forward in a wave down the length of the hallway.

"A steady rolling wave of sound it is, moving at the pace of the soldier in the wheelchair who marks the forward edge with his presence. He is the first. He is missing the greater part of one leg, and some of his wounds are still suppurating. By his age I expect that he is a private, or perhaps a private first class.

"Captains, majors, lieutenant colonels and colonels meet his gaze and nod as they applaud, soldier to soldier. Three years ago when I described one of these events, those lining the hallways were somewhat different. The applause a little wilder, perhaps in private guilt for not having shared in the burden ... yet.

"Now almost everyone lining the hallway is, like the man in the wheelchair, also a combat veteran. This steadies the applause, but I think deepens the sentiment. We have all been there now. The soldier's chair is pushed by, I believe, a full colonel.

"Behind him, and stretching the length from Rings E to A, come more of his peers, each private, corporal, or sergeant assisted as need be by a field grade officer.

"11:00 hours: Twenty-four minutes of steady applause. My hands hurt, and I laugh to myself at how stupid that sounds in my own head. `My hands hurt.' Christ. Shut up and clap. For twenty-four minutes, soldier after soldier has come down this hallway - 20, 25, 30. Fifty-three legs come with them, and perhaps only 52 hands or arms, but down this hall came 30 solid hearts.

"They pass down this corridor of officers and applause, and then meet for a private lunch, at which they are the guests of honor, hosted by the generals. Some are wheeled along. Some insist upon getting out of their chairs, to march as best they can with their chin held up, down this hallway, through this most unique audience. Some are catching handshakes and smiling like a politician at a Fourth of July parade. More than a couple of them seem amazed and are smiling shyly.

"There are families with them as well: the 18-year-old war-bride pushing her 19-year-old husband's wheelchair and not quite understanding why her husband is so affected by this, the boy she grew up with, now a man, who had never shed a tear is crying; the older immigrant Latino parents who have, perhaps more than their wounded mid-20s son, an appreciation for the emotion given on their son's behalf. No man in that hallway, walking or clapping, is ashamed by the silent tears on more than a few cheeks. An Airborne Ranger wipes his eyes only to better see. A couple of the officers in this crowd have themselves been a part of this parade in the past.

"These are our men, broken in body they may be, but they are our brothers, and we welcome them home. This parade has gone on, every single Friday, all year long, for more than four years." Did you know that?

The media hasn't told the story.

Woman's Lawsuit: She Yelled Stop, Practitioner Continued With Forced Abortion
by Steven Ertelt

November 18, 2009

 
Flint, MI (LifeNews.com) -- Alberto Hodari owns six abortion centers in Michigan and LifeNews.com has delivered multiple reports on how he has three of them up for sale.

A new lawsuit from a woman who says he forced her to have an abortion could explain why Hodari is quickly moving to divest himself of his abortion business.

  
Hodari, who has killed at least two women in botched abortions, put a for sale sign on his Flint, Michigan center last week and also on his facilities in Livonia and Southgate.

  
Local pro-life advocate Judy Climer of Flint Right to Life told LifeNews.com that there is a "a fresh lawsuit against him, the clinic and former employee(s)," filed by Caitlin Bruce.
Climer noted Bruce says Hodari forced her to have an abortion after she declined.

  
Today, Operation Rescue president Troy Newman provided LifeNews.com with more details of the lawsuit based on the records filed in court.
Bruce filed a suit against Hodari and his assistant, "Victor" on June 17 over an incident that took place at Hodari's Flint abortion center in April 2008.
     
Bruce alleges that she went to Hodari's clinic seeking an abortion, but, before the abortion began, she changed her mind, decided against it and told Hodari. However, Hodari and his assistant forcibly restrained Bruce and held her down, according to her suit.
Bruce screamed "Stop, stop, I don't want this," but her mouth was covered to muffle her pleas while Hodari forced her to have the abortion.
 
The lawsuit notes six counts against Hodari including lack of informed consent/medical malpractice, battery, fraud, misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and ethnic/gender intimidation.
  
Also, Bruce believes that Hodari forced the abortion on her because she is black, even though Michigan law forbids intimidation based on gender or ethnicity.
 
"This man should be in jail," Newman said. "To avoid having to pay for his crimes, it looks like Hodari is trying to liquidate his assets, take the money, and run."
 
Newman also notes that this is not the first time Hodari has been accused of forcing a woman to have an abortion.
In February, former Hodari patient Jennifer McCoy told Operation Rescue of her 1988 abortion at age 16.
McCoy never intended to get an abortion and was lured to Hodari's clinic under the false pretenses that she would be receiving her first obstetrical examination.

Instead, Hodari forced an abortion on her, she told the pro-life group. He then returned her to her 40-year old high school teacher who had fathered the baby in a relationship that qualified as statutory rape.

McCoy attempted unsuccessfully to have Hodari criminally charged.
  
Newman added: "Over a twenty year period, we can only imagine how many times Hodari has done this to women. If we know of two, you can bet there were more that we don't know about. It is one depraved man that could do that to women."

  
Hodari has also killed women in failed abortions and, in June, Hodari was fined $10,000 by a state board in connection with a woman's botched abortion death.
One of Hodari's staff did an abortion on Regina Johnson who, afterwards, suffered respiratory and cardiac arrest.
   
Staff at Hodari's abortion center allegedly failed to help her or call for an ambulance and she was deprived of oxygen for an extended time. She died a short time later at Hodari's Womencare clinic in Lathrup Village.
 
Johnson's death is one of several women to have died over the years under Hodari's care.
The September 17, 2003 abortion saw Milton Nathanson, then employed by Hodari, do an abortion on Johnson. She died the next day from "anoxic encephalopahy due to cardiac arrest" resulting from the abortion, according to official reports.
  
In addition to Hodari and Nathanson, anesthesiologist Barry Thompson and the abortion clinic's nurse, Cathy Litchig were also implicated in Johnson's death.
   
The Michigan Attorney General imposed the fine on Hodari on March 4, 2009.

   
This finding of the Attorney General's office comes just one year after members of Citizens for a Pro-life Society discovered the remains of aborted babies in Womencare clinic trash dumpsters as well as bio-hazard waste and hundreds of patient records.
   
Hodari was investigated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and received a warning from that office.
He was also prosecuted by the Oakland County District Attorney's Office for violating Michigan statutes regarding the improper disposition of patient records. Hodari pled “no contest “ to the first of 12 counts and is currently on probation in that case.
  
A complaint filed by Miller's group with the Michigan Bureau of Health Professions regarding the patient records issue is currently under review by the Attorney General.

  
At least two other women have also died from failed abortions at Hodari's abortion centers and many more have been injured.
Tamia Russell was only 15 years old in January of 2004 when her 26 year old boyfriend paid Hodari $2,000 in cash to abort her baby at over 26 weeks gestation.
She died less than 24 hours after obtaining an abortion at Womancare of Southfield/Lathrup Village.
Her guardian was unaware she was pregnant, and had no knowledge of the abortion - until it was too late.

  
Chivon Williams received a suction abortion by Hodari at an unknown clinic. An hour and forty minutes later, she was discharged even though she was complaining of pain in her stomach and chest. Soon after she arrived at her home, she "became unresponsive." At 5:17, on the same day as the abortion, she was pronounced dead.

Congressman Blasts White House for Faulty Job Data on Government Web Site

The government Web site -- Recovery.gov -- is under fire for posting a number of jobs created in congressional districts that don't exist and for accepting unrealistic data from several reporting outlets.

The Democratic chairman of the House Appropriations Committee is demanding greater accountability from the the Obama administration after gross inaccuracies were found on a government Web site that tracks jobs purportedly saved or created by the $787 billion stimulus plan.

In a statement late Monday, Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin, chairman of the House committee, called the inaccuracies "outrageous" and said the administration owes the American public "a commitment to work night and day to correct the ludicrous mistakes."

"Credibility counts in government and stupid mistakes like this undermine it," Obey said. "We designed the Recovery Act to be open and transparent and I expect the the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, who oversees the recovery act Web site and data to have information that is accurate, reliable and understandable to the American public."

The site -- Recovery.gov -- is under fire for posting a number of jobs created in congressional districts that don't exist and for accepting unrealistic data from several reporting outlets.

For instance, the Web site reported that 30 jobs were saved or created with $761,420 of federal stimulus spending in Arizona's 15th Congressional District. One problem with the claim -- the state has only eight districts

The site also lists 12 other non-existent districts in Arizona where jobs were reportedly saved or created. It also lists imaginary districts in at least three other states, including Oklahoma, Iowa, and Connecticut.

One recipient of stimulus funds, Talladega County of Alabama, claimed that it had saved or created 5,000 jobs from only $42,000 in government money -- which would amount to $8.40 in annual income per job if each position received an equal amount of funding.

ABC News reported Monday that the White House slashed 60,000 jobs from its most recent report on the recovery program as a result of the faulty data.
Officials with the Recovery Board reportedly told the network that the mistakes were caused by human error.

"We report what the recipients submit to us," Ed Pound, communications director for the board, told ABC. (Do you see how they pass the buck?)

Meanwhile, groups like the NAACP and Hispanic advocacy group National Council of La Raza are expected to speak on Capitol Hill Tuesday to urge President Obama and Congress to pass a new jobs creation package aimed at minority communities. Unemployment among African Americans is at 15 percent, higher than the 10.2 percent nationwide.

So what this means is that if you have a problem, even a chronic reoccurring problem, and need to be readmitted to the hospital, the Hospital is going to take a hit of 20% for that readmission.

And, being a business, that cost will be divided up among other patients, and services and the end effect will be higher costs to you and me, and a onetime admission policy implemented by health care facilities.

And by the way, all this comes from Obama's cronies.

You voted for him, you get his cronies.

It was a package deal.

The nice part is, if and when he is removed from office, so are his cronies.

The 287(g) Program: Protecting Home Towns and Homeland

Jessica M. Vaughan is the Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies. CIS Fellow James R. Edwards, Jr., PhD, is coauthor of The Congressional Politics of Immigration Reform.

Shortly after midnight on September 9, 2001, Maryland state trooper Joseph Catalano pulled over a red Mitsubishi rental car traveling 90 mph in a 65 mph zone on I-95 north of Baltimore. The driver, Ziad Jarrah, had a Florida driver’s license and quietly accepted the $270 fine issued by Catalano before continuing on to join his friends at a hotel in New Jersey. Two days later, Jarrah boarded United Airlines flight 93, which he would later pilot into a field near Shanksville, Pa., killing everyone aboard. 

In 2001, Trooper Catalano had no way of knowing that Jarrah was an illegal alien who had overstayed his business visitor visa. But in the years since 9/11, dozens of state and local law enforcement agencies have been able to join ranks with federal immigration authorities under the auspices of the 287(g) program to help identify and remove foreign nationals who commit crimes or otherwise pose a threat to our well-being. These state and local agencies are making a significant contribution to public safety and homeland security, not just in their jurisdictions, but for us all.

Yet the Obama administration, in a move consistent with other recent steps to scale back immigration law enforcement, recently announced its intent to impose new rules for the 287(g) program that unduly constrain the local partners and could allow too many alien scofflaws identified by local agencies to remain here. But even with these changes, which seem to be based on unsubstantiated criticism from ethnic and civil liberties groups, the 287(g) program still remains an effective tool in immigration law enforcement and local crime-fighting. To ensure its continued success, Congress should provide additional funding and guidance to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), so that the program continues to meet the needs of local agency partners and the communities they protect.

Dozens in Congress under ethics inquiry
AN ACCIDENTAL DISCLOSURE
Document was found on file-sharing network

By Ellen Nakashima and Paul Kane
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, October 30, 2009

House ethics investigators have been scrutinizing the activities of more than 30 lawmakers and several aides in inquiries about issues including defense lobbying and corporate influence peddling, according to a confidential House ethics committee report prepared in July.

The report appears to have been inadvertently placed on a publicly accessible computer network, and it was provided to The Washington Post by a source not connected to the congressional investigations. The committee said Thursday night that the document was released by a low-level staffer.

The ethics committee is one of the most secretive panels in Congress, and its members and staff members sign oaths not to disclose any activities related to its past or present investigations. Watchdog groups have accused the committee of not actively pursuing inquiries; the newly disclosed document indicates the panel is conducting far more investigations than it had revealed.

Shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday, the committee chairman,  Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), interrupted a series of House votes to alert lawmakers about the breach. She cautioned that some of the panel's activities are preliminary and not a conclusive sign of inappropriate behavior.
"No inference should be made as to any member," she said.

 Rep. Jo Bonner (Ala.), the committee's ranking Republican, said the breach was an isolated incident.

The 22-page "Committee on Standards Weekly Summary Report" gives brief summaries of ethics panel investigations of the conduct of 19 lawmakers and a few staff members. It also outlines the work of the new Office of Congressional Ethics, a quasi-independent body that initiates investigations and provides recommendations to the ethics committee. The document indicated that the office was reviewing the activities of 14 other lawmakers. Some were under review by both ethics bodies.

Ethics committee investigations are not uncommon. Most result in private letters that either exonerate or reprimand a member. In some rare instances, the censure is more severe.

Many of the broad outlines of the cases cited in the July document are known -- the committee announced over the summer that it was reviewing lawmakers with connections to the now-closed PMA Group, a lobbying firm. But the document indicates that the inquiry was broader than initially believed. It included a review of seven lawmakers on the House Appropriations defense subcommittee who have steered federal money to the firm's clients and have also received large campaign contributions.
The document also disclosed that:
-- Ethics committee staff members have interviewed House Ways and Means Chairman  Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) about one element of the complex investigation of his personal finances, as well as the lawmaker's top aide and his son. Rangel said he spoke with ethics committee staff members regarding a conference that he and four other members of the Congressional Black Caucus attended last November in St. Martin. The trip initially was said to be sponsored by a nonprofit foundation run by a newspaper. But the three-day event, at a luxury resort, was underwritten by major corporations such as Citigroup, Pfizer and AT&T. Rules passed in 2007, shortly after Democrats reclaimed the majority following a wave of corruption cases against Republicans, bar private companies from paying for congressional travel.

Rangel said he has not discussed other parts of the investigation of his finances with the committee. "I'm waiting for that, anxiously," he said.

The Justice Department has told the ethics panel to suspend a probe of  Rep. Alan B. Mollohan (D-W.Va.), whose personal finances federal investigators began reviewing in early 2006 after complaints from a conservative group that he was not fully revealing his real estate holdings. There has been no public action on that inquiry for several years. But the department's request in early July to the committee suggests that the case continues to draw the attention of federal investigators, who often ask that the House and Senate ethics panels refrain from taking action against members whom the department is already investigating.
Mollohan said that he was not aware of any ongoing interest by the Justice Department in his case and that he and his attorneys have not heard from federal investigators. "The answer is no," he said.

-- The committee on June 9 authorized issuance of subpoenas to the Justice Department, the National Security Agency and the FBI for "certain intercepted communications" regarding  Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.). As was reported earlier this year, Harman was heard in a 2005 conversation agreeing to an Israeli operative's request to try to obtain leniency for two pro-Israel lobbyists in exchange for the agent's help in lobbying  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to name her chairman of the intelligence committee. The department, a former U.S. official said, declined to respond to the subpoena.
Harman said that the ethics committee has not contacted her and that she has no knowledge that the subpoena was ever issued. "I don't believe that's true," she said. "As far as I'm concerned, this smear has been over for three years."
In June 2009, a Justice Department official wrote in a letter to an attorney for Harman that she was "neither a subject nor a target" of a criminal investigation.

Because of the secretive nature of the ethics committee, it was difficult to assess the current status of the investigations cited in the July document. The panel said Thursday, however, that it is ending a probe of  Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.) after finding no ethical violations, and that it is investigating the financial connections of two California Democrats.
The committee did not detail the two newly disclosed investigations. However, according to the July document,  Rep. Maxine Waters, a high-ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, came under scrutiny because of activities involving OneUnited Bank of Massachusetts, in which her husband owns at least $250,000 in stock.
Waters arranged a September 2008 meeting at the Treasury Department where OneUnited executives asked for government money. In December, Treasury selected OneUnited as an early participant in the bank bailout program, injecting $12.1 million.
The other, Rep. Laura Richardson, may have failed to mention property, income and liabilities on financial disclosure forms.
File-sharing

The committee's review of investigations became available on file-sharing networks because of a junior staff member's use of the software while working from home, Lofgren and Bonner said in a statement issued Thursday night. The staffer was fired, a congressional aide said.
The committee "is taking all appropriate steps to deal with this issue," they said, noting that neither the committee nor the House's information systems were breached in any way.
"Peer-to-peer" technology has previously caused inadvertent breaches of sensitive financial, defense-related and personal data from government and commercial networks, and it is prohibited on House networks.
House administration rules require that if a lawmaker or staff member takes work home, "all users of House sensitive information must protect the confidentiality of sensitive information" from unauthorized disclosure.
Leo Wise, chief counsel for the Office of Congressional Ethics, declined to comment, citing office policy against confirming or denying the existence of investigations. A Justice Department spokeswoman also declined to comment, citing a similar policy.
Staff writers Carol D. Leonnig and Joby Warrick and staff researcher Julie Tate contributed to this report.

Intelligent Design Is True Science

01.10.2009     Source: Pravda.Ru     URL: http://english.pravda.ru/science/tech/109609-intelligent_design-0

By Babu G. Ranganathan

The scientific method is used every day in forensic science to determine whether an event in a crime scene was an accident or by design and intention. Mathematical probability is a scientific argument and is frequently used in determining many issues of scientific inquiry.

The scientific method cannot be used to prove events which occurred outside of human observation. No one observed the origin of the universe by either chance or design, but scientific evidence via mathematical probability can be used to support either a chance or design origins for the universe.

If you went to an uninhabited planet and discovered only one thing, a cliff carved with images of persons similar to what we find on Mt. Rushmore, you cannot use the scientific method to prove that these images came about by design or by chance processes of erosion.

Mathematicians have said that any event with odds of 10 to the 50th power or over is impossible even within the entire time frame of the supposed billions of years popularly assigned for the age of the universe.

The odds of an average protein molecule coming into existence by chance is 10 to the 65th power. That's just one protein molecule! Even the simplest cell is composed of millions of them.

Protein molecules are made of smaller molecules known as amino acids. In order for a protein molecule to work the amino acids have to be together in a precise sequence, just like the letters in a sentence. If they are not in the right sequence then the protein molecule won't work.

What's even more amazing is that there are left-handed and right-handed amino acids. In life all the protein molecules have to be made up of left-handed amino acids as well as be in the right sequence. If a right-handed amino acid gets into the mix the protein won't work.

DNA, the genetic code, also is made up of various smaller molecules (nucleic acids) that have to be together in a precise sequence in order for the DNA to work. There are left-handed and right-handed sugar molecules making-up nucleic acids. In order to get a working DNA molecule the various nucleic acids have to be not only in a precise sequence but they also have to contain only right-handed sugar molecules. If a nucleic acid with a left-handed sugar molecule gets into the mix then the DNA won't work.

The great and well-known British scientist Frederick Hoyle showed that the probability of the simplest form of life coming into being by chance is 10 to the 40,000th power. You don't have to be a theologian to respect such numbers!

In the midst of arguments over evolution and intelligent design, it is amazing how many in society, including the very educated, believe that scientists had already created life in the laboratory. No such thing has ever happened.

All that scientists have done is genetically engineer already existing forms of life in the laboratory, and by doing this scientists have been able to produce new forms of life, but they did not produce these new life forms from non-living matter. Even if scientists ever do produce life from non-living matter it will only be through intelligent design or planning so it still wouldn't help support any theory of life originating by chance or evolution.

If the cell had evolved it would have had to be all at once. A partially evolved cell cannot wait millions of years to become complete because it would be highly unstable and quickly disintegrate in the open environment, especially without the protection of a complete and fully functioning cell membrane.

Natural laws are adequate to explain how the order in life, the universe, and even a microwave oven operates, but mere undirected natural laws cannot fully explain the origin of such order.

Of course, once there is a complete and living cell then the code and mechanisms exist to direct the formation of more cells with their own code and biological mechanisms. The problem is how did life naturally come about when there was no previously existing directing code or mechanisms in nature.

What about natural selection? Natural selection cannot produce anything. It can only "select" from what is produced. Furthermore, natural selection can only operate once there is life and not before. Natural selection is a passive process in nature.

Even the recent news of artificial (or synthetic) life is not creation of any life. In artificial life, scientists, through intelligent design, build a DNA molecule from "scratch" and then implant that DNA into an already living cell. Genetic engineering and artificial life projects all happen by intelligent design - not by chance. Just ask the scientists behind the projects!

Again, science cannot prove that we are here by either chance or design, but the scientific evidence can be used to support one or the other.

It is only fair that evidence supporting intelligent design be presented to students alongside of evolutionary theory. No one is being forced to believe in God so there's no real violation of separation of church and state.

Hi-Ho, the Derry-O
By Dana Milbank
Friday, September 18, 2009

Let's say you're preparing dinner and you realize with dismay that you don't have any certified organic Tuscan kale. What to do?

 
Here's how Michelle Obama handled this very predicament Thursday afternoon:
   
The Secret Service and the D.C. police brought in three dozen vehicles and shut down H Street, Vermont Avenue, two lanes of I Street and an entrance to the McPherson Square Metro station.

They swept the area, in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs, with bomb-sniffing dogs and installed magnetometers in the middle of the street, put up barricades to keep pedestrians out, and took positions with binoculars atop trucks.
Though the produce stand was only a block or so from the White House, the first lady hopped into her armored limousine and pulled into the market amid the wail of sirens.

   
Then, and only then, could Obama purchase her leafy greens. "Now it's time to buy some food," she told several hundred people who came to watch. "Let's shop!"
   
Cowbells were rung. Somebody put a lei of marigolds around Obama's neck. The first lady picked up a straw basket and headed for the "Farm at Sunnyside" tent, where she loaded up with organic Asian pears, cherry tomatoes, multicolored potatoes, free-range eggs and, yes, two bunches of Tuscan kale. She left the produce with an aide, who paid the cashier as Obama made her way back to the limousine.

    
There's nothing like the simple pleasures of a farm stand to return us to our agrarian roots.
  
The first lady had encouraged Freshfarm Markets, the group that runs popular farmers markets in Dupont Circle and elsewhere, to set up near the White House, and she helped get the approvals to shut down Vermont Avenue during rush hour on Thursdays.  

But the result was quite the opposite of a quaint farmers market. Considering all the logistics, each tomato she purchased had a carbon footprint of several tons.
     
The promotion of organic and locally grown food, though an admirable cause, is a risky one for the Obamas, because there's a fine line between promoting healthful eating and sounding like a snob.
  
The president, when he was a candidate in 2007, got in trouble in Iowa when he asked a crowd, "Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?" Iowans didn't have a Whole Foods.
   
For that reason, it's probably just as well that the first lady didn't stop by the Endless Summer Harvest tent yesterday.
The Virginia farm had a sign offering "tender baby arugula" -- hydroponically grown, pesticide free -- and $5 for four ounces, which is $20 a pound.

Obama, in her brief speech to the vendors and patrons, handled the affordability issue by pointing out that people who pay with food stamps would get double the coupon value at the market.

Even then, though, it's hard to imagine somebody using food stamps to buy what the market offered: $19 bison steak from Gunpowder Bison, organic dandelion greens for $12 per pound from Blueberry Hill Vegetables, the Piedmont Reserve cheese from Everson Dairy at $29 a pound.
Rounding out the potential shopping cart: $4 for a piece of "walnut dacquoise" from the Praline Bakery, $9 for a jumbo crab cake at Chris's Marketplace, $8 for a loaf of cranberry-walnut bread and $32 for a bolt of yarn.

The first lady said the market would particularly appeal to federal employees in nearby buildings to "pick up some good stuff for dinner." Yet even they might think twice about spending $3 for a pint of potatoes when potatoes are on sale for 40 cents a pound at Giant.

They could get nearly five dozen eggs at Giant for the $5 Obama spent for her dozen.
But whatever the socioeconomics, there can be no doubt that Obama brought some serious attention to her cause.

Hundreds of people crowded the market entrance on I Street as police directed pedestrians to alternative subway entrances. Hundreds braved a light rain and gave a hearty cheer when Obama and her entourage took the stage. "I can't imagine there's been a day in the history of our country when people have been more excited about farmers markets," Mayor Adrian Fenty, Obama's warm-up act, told the crowd.

The first lady, in gray slacks and blue sweater, marveled that the people were "so pumped up" despite the rain. "I have never seen so many people so excited about fruits and vegetables!" she said. (Must be the tender baby arugula.)
   
She spoke of the global reach of her cause: "The first thing world leaders, prime ministers, kings, queens ask me about is the White House garden. And then they ask about Bo."

   
She spoke of the fuel fed to the world's most powerful man: "I've learned that when my family eats fresh food, healthy food, that it really affects how we feel, how we get through the day . . . whether there's a Cabinet meeting or whether we're just walking the dog."
And she spoke of her own culinary efforts: "There are times when putting together a healthy meal is harder than you might imagine."
     
Particularly when it involves a soundstage, an interpreter for the deaf, three TV satellite trucks and the closing of part of downtown Washington.

EMILY BAZELON of the NY Times met with and talked to Justice Ruth Ginsburg. According to the article, Justice Ginsburg was under the impression, that when Roe V Wade was adopted as law, that there were concerns about population growth, especially growth in  "populations that we don’t want to have too many of".

Here is an excerpt:

Q: If you were a lawyer again, what would you want to accomplish as a future feminist legal agenda?

JUSTICE GINSBURG: Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that had changed their abortion laws before Roe [to make abortion legal] are not going to change back. So we have a policy that affects only poor women, and it can never be otherwise, and I don’t know why this hasn’t been said more often.

Q: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of Medicaid for abortions for poor women?

JUSTICE GINSBURG: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.

Here is the entire interview

Here is a PDF of the story

I read yesterday, that some people in England, who had access to a murdered baby, cannibalized parts from that baby to use in an experiment.

Now, a lot of people would not be bothered by this, because the child was dead anyway, and besides, transplants are done all the time from donors.

However there is one thing that makes this story wrong.
The baby was killed just for the parts.

Society has degenerated so low, as to honesty think that the killing of a child for experimental purposes is ok.

What is it they say? If you do or say something that is wrong, long enough, loud enough, by enough people in that society, then it begins to sound ok?

There was also a video clip of the story. The announcers were all giddy and happy, as though they did not know a child the butchering of a child was involved. Maybe they did, who knows?

Some people say that an embryo is not a child, yet.

I ask, do the number of individual cells within a child, or where that child lives, determine if it is a child?
How many cells does a developing baby have to have to obtain personage?
 
What if he or she is one cell off?  
Does that one cell mean the difference between ‘bio mass’ and ‘Bobby’ or ‘Becky’?

When a child is conceived, it begins a growing process that does not end, until it is an adult. All during this growth period, cells are dividing and growing.  The person grows, gains weight, and develops. It makes no difference where it lives, it continues to develop. That’s what people do.

What right do we have, as fellow humans to determine that chosen individuals, at a certain point in their life, at a certain point in their maturation process, are to be put to death, for the purpose of medical experimentation?

Can no one see that this is murder?

Isn’t that what Hitler did as well? Didn’t he use children in obscene experiments? Didn’t he have them put to death, just to see what he could do with them?

Does a Childs’ dependence on its mother stop at birth?  No
Can a baby who is outside the womb, fend for itself?     No

Can people not see, that all arguments in defense of these actions serve only one thing purpose; to anesthetize peoples’ minds, to the unspeakable horror that kids go through each and every day.

A lot of people feel that they have a soul. Do you?
When did you get it?  Was it at birth? Was it before birth? Was it when you were conceived as the Bible says?

And, what is birth? At what point, exactly, is one born? Is it a sliding out process? Does 95% out mean born? What about 99.9%.  Will ¼ “be enough to withhold the rights of being a person? Does it occur when the cord is cut? What if the cord is cut while the child has not left the mother?

Does anyone see how utterly silly the location of a child as the determination factor of Birth is? NOTHING ABOUT THE CHILDS’ MAKEUP OR GROWTH, CHANGES WITH THE CHANGE OF ADDRESS.
If Jimmy has 13,876,876,87 cells prior to being ‘born’, and he has 13,876,876.87 cells after he is ‘born’ then what is about Jimmy has changed other than location?

Is where he lives the determining factor? Is the method of receiving nourishment the factor? 

Maybe it his or her eye color that is the factor. Maybe that is why, when kids are murdered in the womb, they are allowed to have their bodies hang out of the womb while their heads remain partially inside, as some S.O.B. jabs and prods a tool inside their skull to kill them.

That way, the Doctor doesn’t have to see their face. After all why would he want to see them looking at him. That way, some legal argument is met. That way, at least for a little while, the Doctor can live with himself. 

How would it be, to have the job title of executioner?

I wonder, do scientists and abortion Doctors, mount their first kill over their fireplaces?.

I agree, too much hype over insignificant dead people.

Here is the Original Story

 here is the screen cap

They call it the patriot act. It is suppose to help protect citizens.
It is supposed to be used as a tool to assist law enforcement in determining who and who is not a threat to the U.S. 
It was meant to be an aid, in protecting the Freedoms that all American have.

But there is nothing patriotic about how a bunch of law enforcement idiots have misused it to come down on a 16 year old citizen from North Carolina.

They determined that Ashton Lundeby was a threat due to information they got from the net that was supposed to have come from his system, but in reality did not. It was later determined, that his system was used a one of many false links to mislead these pea brained idiots.
And it worked.  Somewhere there is someone who is guilty of whatever it was that they thought this kid did, and he, or she, is having a really good laugh.

But authority figures don’t like being exposed as buffoons.  So they closed their ears, put on their blinders and slammed the door and the kid sits to pay the price for their stupidity. To them it does not matter. This kid is sitting in jail, because the good ol’ boy system of the courts and law enforcement feel it is better to falsely sacrifice a citizen’s right to due process, than to reveal their own incompetence. 

It seems they feel that perpetuating a lie about a child, and having him ripped away from his family, is better for this country, better for society that revealing their lack of balls and their lack of righteousness.

It is too bad, that when people go into law enforcement, they are indoctrinated into a system where the protection of the agency, is paramount to the protection of people and the peoples’ rights.

Too bad this country does not have an agency that sole purpose is to protect citizens against governmental misuse of power. To protect people from a corrupt government that sees nothing other than its own agenda.

It is a shame, when misuse of entrusted power is perpetuated and condoned.

I was told once, if you ever want to see how to fix a problem, just look back in history and learn from what was done before. 

So I looked up a story about a people who were oppressed by a tyrannical government. About a group of citizens who felt their rights were being taken from them. What measures did they use, to help replace, an otherwise wicked government from unjustly imposing its will, above and proprietarily to the will of the people. What was it they did to show that the will of the people, will never be subject to the will of government, that the will of government will always be subjected to the will of the people.

It was the history of the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

And, history has revealed that what the people stood for, that what the people fought and died for,  that their cause of eliminating an unjust government was a just and righteous cause.
At that point of time in our history, it was the ‘right thing’ to do.

But back then, people cared about their freedom, more than they do now.
People back then, had traveled to America to get away from tyrants.
They still had the taste of subjugation in their mouths.

We on the other hand, as long as we can have our Starbucks, and some way of being entertained, or our egos stroked, we’re cool.
Sorry Kid.

It amazes me to what lengths people will go to in order to try and invalidate the truth.
 The Shroud is said to be the Burial Cloth of Jesus. Maybe yes, maybe no. To believers, it is not important. To non-believers, it represents their hope and their fears.
Anyway, when they did the dating tests back in 1988, the guys involved knew they were testing a repaired area of the Shroud done hundreds of years after the resurrection of Christ. But did they happen to mention this? When the media exploded with stories about how the Shroud was too young to have been the actual Shroud, did any of the knuckleheads correct them? Nope. These men of science kept quiet. They did not want the truth to come out. They felt they knew what was best. They felt it was best to lie.
What a bunch of clowns.

 Here's the Story

 The University of Delaware has been exposed as a place where Orwellian indoctrinational methods of 'teaching' have been uncovered. Students were told what to think, what opinions to have, and what not to think or do. This was all done not as some sort of voluntary curriculum, but was used as a mandatory method of training the students as to how and what to think. You will be surprised at how easily some people will follow anything placed in front of them by people of authority.
Ever hear of Obama’s mandatory Civil Service to America?

Here's the video clip 

Imagine that.  We need a law, that states it is ok to use deadly force, to stop the killing of someone else.

You may have to wait for it to count down to play.

Stem cells taken from a murdered child and injected as some sort of experiment goes ‘wrong’ when the cells begin to grow as a mutated child in the host’s Brain.

Note the arrogance Dr. John Gearhart of Pennsylvania has when in trying to explain what went wrong he says: “Cell are not drugs. They can misbehave in so many ways, it just is going to take a good deal of time”

I don’t think the parts taken from the child were misbehaving.

I think they were doing just what they were supposed to be doing. Growing, maturing, and trying to develop. That is not misbehaving.

I think it was the arrogant SOB who killed the child to cannibalize the stem cells in the first place is the collection of cells that was misbehaving.
Here is the Story

Every now and then, I read a story that seems to destroy the envelope of reason.

That takes things that I hold as right, and just, and shatters them.

Hollywood would be laughed out of town, if they wrote this stuff.

It is almost a foretelling of what we have to look forward to.

Where is that fence???

I was recently asked by one of my kids, why it is, that I can’t just look at the good things Obama does and be happy with that. Why can’t I just let it go.
I told (him-her) that as far as I was concerned, nothing is more important, than exposing people,  who’s ideas on abortion, are something other than let the kids live, and Obama is one of these people.
I could go on for hours about this, but the bottom line is this.
As far as I am concerned, kids, animals, everything alive begins a journey to adulthood, as soon as they are conceived. Children are dependent on their mothers, while in the womb, growing more and more cells, getting them closer to adulthood.
Once delivered, they continue to rely on their mothers for nurturing, and care. As they could not live without their mothers pre-delivery, nor could they live without care post delivery.
Once delivered, their cells continue to divide and grow, and they continue on the road to adulthood. There are only two stages. Either you are an adult, or you are on your way to becoming one. You become one by growing.
And that growth, starts at conception. When your first two cells come together. 
How is it, man can make up word games, that places parameters on how many cells are legally a person, and how many are not. Some say time is the difference between the two. Why? Time has no special cut off point. Kids are aborted all the time, long after viability. Growth of a child, whether inside mom or not is what determines a child. Are we using a geographic location to determine when a child is or isn’t a person?  The growth part of a person’s life, begins at conception. Call it what you will. Bracket it as you will.
Oh, and by the way, do people have souls? Do you? When did you get it? And who gave it to you? Was there a moment in time, that you lived thru that made it permissible to have one, and before that time, you were ineligible? Since a soul is usually associated with God, or whatever you may think of as a higher being, may I offer what the Bible says:
Jeremiah 1:5  "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."
This indicates, if not flat out states, that  'personage' begins at conception. At the ‘formation’ of an individual.
Man can say whatever he wants. Physiology in the growth to adulthood from conception, has no cut off point. No border to pass thru from being a non-person to a person. No beginning, other than conception, and no ending, other than death. Life of anything, or anyone, is a process of passing through different stages of growth. Not through morphing in and out of different planes of existence as first this type of being, then that type. We were always, only one type. Just at different stages of growth. Our cell count from the moment of conception, is the only thing that changes.

Here is a story about one of those screams.

This clown will say, whatever his current audience wants to hear. He has no more commitment to any ideals than a wad of phlegm.
Obama retracted  the ban, on our money going overseas to help pay for killing unborn babies. He says it is the right thing to do.
However today, at the National Prayer Breakfast he made this statement : there is  "no God who condones the taking of an innocent human life."
Proof that in one manner or another, this man is a liar.
We evidently, like being lied to, as long as the lies make us feel good. Make us feel like everything is ok.
We are such fools.

Isn't it wonderful how more and more people, are finding Obama nothing more than a joke?

 I can only hope we find God again before it is too late!!  
 
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning
Commentary.

My confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish.  And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees..  I don't feel threatened.  I don't feel discriminated against. T that’s what they are: Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me.  I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto.  In fact, I kind of like it.  It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu .  If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians.  I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.  I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country.  I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him?  I guess t hat's a sign that I'm getting old, too.   But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different : This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.  She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.  And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.  How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.  I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.  Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself.  And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr Spock's son committed suicide).  We said an expert should know what he's talking about.  And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.  I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell  Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.  Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding Jesus Christ or God, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

My Best Regards,  Honestly and respectfully,
Ben Stein

“Animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives, to prevent violations of current law … Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe guardian like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients’ behalf.” This appears in the introduction of a book entitled  ‘Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions’  co written by Cass R. Sunstein and his girlfriend Martha C. Nussbaum. 

“We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn’t a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law.”

“eliminating current practices such as greyhound racing, cosmetic testing, and meat eating, most controversially.”

Current treatment of animals should be considered   “a form of unconscionable barbarity not the same as, but in many ways morally akin to, slavery and mass extermination of human beings.”

Someone has posed the question as to whether or not Barry or his staff will be previewing Rick Warren's prayer to the Lord.  What Rick prays about to the Lord, is no ones business. Prayers are 'A & B' conversations. So Barry and his boys, can 'C' their way out.  However, seeing how much Barry thinks of himself, I would not put it past him, to place himself as an authority on what one can or cannot talk to the Lord about.

One of the great things Prop 8 has done, was to reveal what is really going on.

Before the courts said earlier this year, that homosexuals can get married, they were nothing more than deviants of society. Fornicating homosexuals.

Then the court said, it is lawful for them to marry. This, in their minds, elevated them, morally speaking. They were now equal, acceptable, respectable and no longer dirty.  It made no difference to them that some people still felt repulsed by the whole idea. The courts were their friend. The courts loved them.

Oops, then came prop 8. And what prop 8 did, was to serve notice that the people of California do not want the homosexual lifestyle to be validated with the term married. 

Now, once again, they are nothing more, than fornicating homosexuals without the recognition they so need to make themselves feel better about what they do. 

Look around. Since prop 8 went through, there has been an increase in hateful, foul, disgusting, loud protests by the homosexuals. They continue to whine, cry and vandalize. 

Would it not be better, would they not have a better chance, of getting others to see their side, and perhaps gain some sympathy the next time it comes up for a vote, if they would just shut up, stop their whimpering, and work within the system.

Work to convince people they are not nuts. 

People on the fence, who are watching them go all nutso and such are not going to say, gee, these are nice people who got a raw deal. They don’t appear to be so bad.

Nope. They’re going to see them as screwballs and want nothing to do with them.

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years.

It's time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God.

If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up.

Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of.

You might be a redneck if:
It never occurred to you to be offended by

the phrase, 'One nation, under God.'

You might be a redneck if:
You’ never protested about seeing the 10

Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a redneck if:
You still say ' Christmas' instead of

'Winter Festival.'

You might be a redneck if:
You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a redneck if:
You stand and place your hand over your

heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a redneck if:
You treat our armed forces and veterans with

great respect, and always have.

You might be a redneck if:
You've never burned an American flag, nor

intend to.

You might be a redneck if:
You know what you believe and you aren't

afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if:
You respect your elders and raised your kids

to do the same.

You might be a redneck if:
You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

 Question: What on this planet (or universe) is not natural?

Nothing. The air is natural. It moves, it swirls, it raises and lowers.

The water is natural. It moves, evaporates, freezes.

Animals are also natural. They scurry, they roam, fly, kill, fertilize.

Even the things we make, is just rearranging things we already have.

We (natural) can find a rock (natural) crush it up (still natural), separate parts of it (nothing added or created), compact it into a tight ball, and make it go boom.

So, what was un-natural? The process? Nothing we did it and we are natural. Being natual, our actions, are also natural. everything we do, or can ever do, is natural.

So why do people think that what we do is unnatural? 

That is silly and arrogant in my book.

We are here. We were created here. What we do, or not do may not be as other creatures do, but does that mean we are not natural.

Would some space guy cruising by, look down on us and our planet, and say, "since they do this or that different from other animals down there they are not natural"?
No. They would not. Their point of reference, would dictate that they see everything on Earth as natural.
 
We are indigenous to this planet.

No more and no less than anything else here, and yet, we are the only ones who have been pegged as having done something unnatural.

Being on Earth with everything else, places us in the same boat with everything else. With equal rights to be, and to do as we see fit, as does everything else.

What we do, compared to what other animals do, cannot be unnatural due to the fact, we are equal with all things natural..

Sure, we do things that harm. But everything that is natural on this planet, in some way or another, will and does do harm.

It's called nature. Deal with it. What we and every other natural things does on this planet do or not do, is called NATURE. It is the NATURE of the creature or object.

That being said, if we are affecting the climate, then isn't that as natural as it being effected by cow flatulence, polar shifts, or meteor impacts?

Some black leaders think the only qualification that is important about who fills Obama’s senate seat, is the color of his or her skin.

That the persons has to be black.

 Isn't this going above equality?

Isn't this saying a person who is white, or any color other than black, isn't qualified? 

Aren't they sounding like reverse rednecks from the 50's?

For years I have heard how people shouldn't judge other people by the color of their skin. Are they exempt from those anti-racist ideals?

How is it, they are  allowed to spew racist remarks and racist ideals with impunity? 

If the person who gets the job, turns out to be Black, how will all this BS about the color of their skin going to make them feel?

Like they "Are Somebody?"

I think not. I think they will feel like the 'black skin' reason they were chosen, will make them, and their talents, their qualifications, their ambitions, and their reasons to serve the people, of no consequence. 

Thank you Laura, you made me feel better about myself.

Seems like there may be fewer law breakers in Arizona soon.

According to this article, Barry’s religious ideals are similar to what we use to call goulash. A mixture of different ingredients and flavors that do not necessarily go together, but put together, they do fill the pot. For instance, he was asked what is sin. His reply was "Being out of alignment with my values". This interview of Barry and his religious views was conducted by Cathleen Falsani in March of 2004. To some the interview will sound ‘ok’. It will sound politically correct. But to others, it may reveal how truly manipulative Barry is. He seems to say what he feels people want to hear. To me it shows several things. He may not be a Christian. He expressed no discernable knowledge of what the Bible says a follower must do or not do, for salvation.  He expressed the generally accepted notion, that as a Christian, one has to accept the idea that several roads lead to salvation, and personal efforts, or good works are required to obtain a Righteous after life. It is indeed, a shame, that he is now our leader. And what is also hard, is that we obligated to be led by him. But only after we weigh what he wants, against what He wants.
