I'm assuming a lot of my readers already know what hashtags are, but in case anyone from Rio Linda happens to be reading this, I'll give you a quick rundown. ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;On Twitter, you may see certain phrases like #balloonboy #phillies, etc. If you click on #phillies, or type it in Twitter search, you'll be shown everyone on Twitter who mentioned the #phillies. It basically serves to organize different tweets, and it makes them easier to find in Twitter search. It also means that if YOU use the #phillies hashtag in your tweet, anyone searching under that hashtag will see your message.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Now, I've compiled a list of conservative hashtags that are used on Twitter, along with their definitions.&amp;nbsp;I'll even show you which hashtags get the most use. Once you're done reading, please feel free to pass this along to any conservatives you know who want to get more involved on Twitter!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;#tcot : stands for Top Conservatives on Twitter.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;Very Heavy Usage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;#icon : stands for Independent Conservatives (my personal favorite).

If you know of any others currently being used, please comment and I'll add them to the list. Now for a bonus part about a lib hashtag!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;#p2 is used by progressives, so if you're looking for liberals to enlighten or infuriate(I know you would NEVER do that ), you should be able to find some there. Another way to find liberals is to simply look at @shoq 's Twitter feed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Anyway, I hope &amp;nbsp;you found the article useful, and if you have any more questions about Twitter, &amp;nbsp;feel free to send me a message at @jedimaster_ops on Twitter.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;God bless!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-2653635475413147307?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/2653635475413147307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2011/01/navigating-maze-of-conservative.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/2653635475413147307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/2653635475413147307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2011/01/navigating-maze-of-conservative.html' title='Navigating the Maze of Conservative Hashtags'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-6508286444774550216</id><published>2010-12-10T12:43:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-12-10T12:43:32.590-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Israel'/><title type='text'>Why Mohammed and Hitler Would've Been Best Buds.</title><content type='html'>'Jews are descended from pigs and apes!&lt;br /&gt;No, this isn't Nazi rhetoric. This is Mohammed's.&lt;br /&gt;Those sentiments are found in the Quran, and in the mouths of Muslims even to this day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's look at both Islam and Nazism, and you'll see the similarities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why was Islam so attractive to Arabs? It established Ishmael's precedence over Isaac. The Arab race has been defined by Abraham choosing Isaac in Ishmael's stead. They felt abandoned, castoff, and rejected. That's where Mohammed enters the scene. He told them that they were superior to Jews, and to anyone else. He promised them greatness at the expense of others. Mohammed went to great lengths to dehumanize Jews, and his enemies in general. He claimed that Allah had turned Jews into apes and pigs. He massacred an entire Jewish settlement, claiming that Gabriel had appeared to him and told him to do so. That's just ONE example. The Quran itself is full of commands to kill 'infidels'(usually Jews or Christians), and to slaughter them wherever they are hiding. Sounds pretty similar to the relentless hunting of Jews practiced by the S.S.&lt;br /&gt;The Quran also says that those Muslims who do not join the fight are 'hypocrites', and that they will burn in hell for not doing so.&lt;br /&gt;Ironic isn't it? Christianity says you'll go to hell if you don't accept the sacrifice of Jesus, who gave His life for you. Islam threatens to send you to hell for refusing to kill infidels.&lt;br /&gt;But you say, that was a long time ago! Islam is much more civilized now!&lt;br /&gt;Really?&lt;br /&gt;Even today, despite years of white-washing by historians to hide Islam's brutal history, the truth still slips out, usually from the mouths of Muslims themselves.&lt;br /&gt;In 2005, a popular Saudi lecturer repeated the claim that "Jews are the sons of monkeys and pigs". In 2009, a prominent Egyptian political figure took it a step further(or mixed up his history) when he claimed that the pigs living today are descended from Jews, and as such, should be killed. A Syrian official made a similar statement in 2007. Most damning of all, the highest ranking cleric for the Sunni Muslims(their pope, basically) called Jews the "T&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;he enemies of Allah, descendants of apes and pigs."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;Very tolerant indeed!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;Now, what about Nazism?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;The German nation wast quite possibly at its lowest point in their history. They had lost World War I, been forced to give up vast amounts of territory, military power, etc. They were under a crushing burden of debt, and faced a terrible depression. Their self-esteem as a people was at an all time low. Then Hitler came. He told them that they were the master race, that they were genetically superior, and that as such, they should rule the Earth. Everyone who wasn't Aryan would either serve them, or be killed, as was the case with Jews. He possessed an especially strong hatred for Jews.&lt;br /&gt;The Nazis, like Mohammed before them, tried to dehumanize the Jews. They were considered as low as animals, and Himmler, head of the S.S, had this to say, "&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3028859268005400579&amp;amp;postID=6508286444774550216" name="16"&gt;Antisemitism is exactly the same as delousing.

Thereafter, Germany's only remaining objective in the region would be limited to the annihilation of the Jews living under British protection in Arab lands."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in both Nazism and Islam before it, Jews and those who support them are compared to animals, and in both cases, they were treated like animals. The &amp;nbsp;methods, beliefs, and goals were the same, and the results were only different because Hitler had the means and the technology to kill and enslave more Jews than Mohammed and his followers ever could.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who knows though? Hitler is dead, and the few Nazis that still remain are essentially powerless.&lt;br /&gt;There's still plenty of time for Islam to catch up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-6508286444774550216?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/6508286444774550216/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/12/why-mohammed-and-hitler-wouldve-been.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/6508286444774550216'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/6508286444774550216'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/12/why-mohammed-and-hitler-wouldve-been.html' title='Why Mohammed and Hitler Would&apos;ve Been Best Buds.'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-4288533355964058294</id><published>2010-10-08T09:47:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-10-08T09:47:44.748-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Week'/><title type='text'>Veritas Report</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Fist Pump&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a big victory for Republicans, Democrat Henry Waxman abandoned his effort to ram through his controversial net neutrality bill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more we can keep the government out of the internet, the more freedom will flourish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;LOL of The Week. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've probably seen far too many teens with saggy pants. Its annoying, its gross, and it looks horrible. Someone finally decided to vent their frustration regarding this troubling cultural trend...with a semi-automatic. Memphis police report that a teen was shot in the butt after engaging in an argument with a man angry over the teen's laughably absurd style choices and his insolence to walk down said man's street. The man has been charged with aggravated assault charges, which is a great shame. This guy deserves a medal, not a jail sentence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Weekly Activities by Our Peaceful Muslim Friends.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our good friends the Muslims have carried out at least 44 reported jihad attacks this week, which resulted in 157 deaths, and 250 severely injured. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The high and civilized Muslims meanwhile, are having troubles of their own, what with the report that a Saudi prince raped and murdered his male servant. This story is so reviling that I'm not going to elaborate further. The BBC ran a story on it &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/2d7274e"&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in the news this week, is the heart-breaking story of a 12 year old girl in Bangledesh who committed suicide after being forcibly married to an older man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, we're allowing a mosque dedicated to this farce of a religion to be built in New York, blocks away from where Muslim terrorists killed thousands of innocent Americans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's screwed up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;What the...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well isn't this prophetic. In the middle of one of Obama's boring monologues to some group nobody's heard of, his presidential seal falls off the podium and clatters to the floor. This is even better then the flag nearly falling on Hillary! Check out the &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/2clrmdg"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Top News Story the Media Threw Under the Rug&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gallup released a report on October 7th that the employment rate is now 10.1%. That's nearly a full percentage point higher than its 9.3% number in September. Now, if a Republican were in office, what do you think the media would be saying? In all likelihood, they'd be raking the Republican incumbent over the coals over his failed economic policies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, a Republican isn't in office, so this goes basically unreported. Aside from talk radio, and Gallup's own website, I haven't seen a single media story on this. Its sad, but hey, what do you expect? Its circle the wagon time in D.C, and the media is playing their part to defend the Democrats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-4288533355964058294?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/4288533355964058294/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/10/veritas-report.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/4288533355964058294'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/4288533355964058294'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/10/veritas-report.html' title='Veritas Report'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-8058173194505135889</id><published>2010-08-07T17:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-08-07T17:14:25.281-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Constitution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><title type='text'>Kagan In.

They'll tell you that America wasn't founded on Christianity, and that the Founding Fathers were all either deists or outright atheists. This view is touted in public schools and universities across the country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Even some Christians, growing up in this environment, have to come to believe it. Others may not believe the founders were secular, but they certainly don't feel like they have enough evidence to refute the statement either. So, they remain silent, and the statement continues to ring out, unchallenged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;What I want to talk about today, is this: Is what they say really true? Is America indeed a godless Republic?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;To answer this, I won't quote modern philosophers or verbose politicians. I'm going to go back to the beginning, when the harbinger of freedom first dawned on the shores of America. When such people as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson lived and gave their lives and their livelihoods to see America rise. What do they say have to say about America?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;First of all, let's look at a sage and very well known document, namely, the Declaration of Independence. This document was written by the supposed deist, Thomas Jefferson. Well then, why did the Deist find it necessary to mention God 4 times in the relatively short document? He makes reference to a "Creator" in the famous line about human rights, and even before that, Jefferson mentions "Nature's God". In the latter statement, he elevates God above nature, or natural law! Even more damaging to the 'deist' cause, Jefferson appeals to the "Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions...". Now clearly, if Jefferson was in fact a deist, why would he be appealing to a God that he clearly calls a "Supreme Judge". Those aren't the words of deist or atheist by any stretch of the imagination. If that wasn't enough, later in the document, Jefferson makes this statement, "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Divine Providence is defined as the "Activity of God in world affairs". If Jefferson was a deist, why would he use such language? The truth of the matter is that Jefferson mentions God pretty often! I was at the Jefferson Memorial a couple of weeks ago, and even there, most of his quotes mentioned God, in one form or another.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Now some might say, "How do you know he was talking about a Christian god"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Who do you think he was talking about? Buddha??? Allah??? Thor??? I think not. The God almost universally believed in at that time in America was the Judeo-Christian God. To try to claim otherwise is downright silly, to say the least.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Now, what about the rest of the Founding Fathers? According to Adherents.com, ALL of the Founding Fathers professed to belong to one Christian church or another. The majority, 57.1%, belonged to the Anglican church, while 23.2% and 21.4% considered themselves Congregationalist and Presbyterian, respectively. Now, what about Ben Franklin? Many revisionist historians like to tout him as the man of reason, &amp;nbsp;and as a deist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The truth is far from that image. During the Constitutional convention, the delegates had reached a stalemate. There were deep and profound disagreements between the 2 sides, and it looked as if it would be impossible for them to reach agreement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A man stood up, and requested that before the business proceedings of each day commenced, that it be opened in prayer to God. Not only that, he requested that a chaplain be appointed for the duration of the convention! The man who requested this was none other than Ben Franklin. The question begs asking, why would a deist recommend that the convention open its day praying to God to "enlighten our minds"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Another argument revisionist historians and anti-God people use is to claim that there is no mentioned of God in the Constitution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;While it is true that God's name is rarely mentioned in the Constitution, the reasons behind that are far different from what leftists would have you believe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Founders believed that religion was a matter best left up to the individual, and to the states. Most state constitutions defined the role religion played in civil affairs, and as such, the Founders did not want the federal government to usurp that power. As Daniel Dreisbach puts it, "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Constitution, in short, can be fairly characterized as "godless" or secular only insofar as it deferred to the states on all matters regarding religion and devotion to God.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Imagine that. The lack of God in the Constitution, far from being the result of the anti-religious bias of the Founding Fathers, was simply an example of the Constitution's support of states rights. Take that, ACLU!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The truth is undeniable. The feverish attempt by radical leftists to revise and secularize our history cannot keep the truth from ringing out. They've tried to deny the devout religious beliefs of the founders. They've tried to explain away the Constitution and America's profound success as being simply the result of reason. To some extent, they've succeeded. They've offloaded their rhetoric and frenzied arguments to our children, via the public school system and the leftist media.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;They've done all that, and yet, they've failed. The truth cannot be hidden anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Now you know. &lt;b&gt;They are the ones who are wrong.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hot Links: Discover the truth regarding America through this website.

Leftists want to 'spread the wealth around', and make everyone the same. If that would ever happen here, the effects would be disastrous. American ingenuity would be gone, stifled under the rising tide of mediocrity that socialism inevitably brings.

Except for the War till the day he retired He worked in a factory and never got fired, But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc. Yet he wasn't a scab or odd in his views, For his Union reports that he paid his dues, (Our report on his Union shows it was sound) And our Social Psychology workers found That he was popular with his mates and liked a drink. The Press are convinced that he bought a paper every day And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way. Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured, And his Health-card shows he was once in hospital but left it cured. Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Instalment Plan And had everything necessary to the Modern Man, A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire. Our researchers into Public Opinion are content  That he held the proper opinions for the time of year; When there was peace, he was for peace:  when there was war, he went. He was married and added five children to the population, Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his    generation. And our teachers report that he never interfered with their    education. Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd: Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, 'lucida sans', helvetica, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, 'lucida sans', helvetica, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, 'lucida sans', helvetica, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, 'lucida sans', helvetica, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, 'lucida sans', helvetica, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;i&gt;Another Time&lt;/i&gt; by W.

Its about votes. Both parties have been courting the Hispanic vote for years, and as such, they've refused to pass any bill that actually does something about illegal immigration. Arizona finally got tired of this, and passed a bill of their own that actually DOES SOMETHING. We can't have that, can we!  A state actually does what the federal government was supposed to be doing all these years, and they get slammed for it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt;This is what 'amnesty' is about also. The heart of the issue isn't about the 'well-being' of the illegals. Its about votes for leftist politicians. If the illegals were 70-80% Republican, do you think the Democrats would be so interested in making them citizens?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Also, for those crying 'racist' at Arizona, this bill is supported by conservatives, liberals, blacks and whites, and by young people! Over 70% of the entire population supports it. If that wasn't enough, 60% of the national population supports the bill as well.  Wow.

So last week I put this sign up in my yard after one of his anti-gun rants at a neighborhood cocktail party. The sign wasn't up more than an hour before he called the police and wanted them to make me take down the sign. Fortunately, the officer politely informed him that it was not their job to take such action without a court order and that he had to file a complaint "downtown" first, which would be reviewed by the city attorney to see if it violated any city, county, or state ordinances, which if there was a violation a court order would be sent to the offending party (me) to "remove the sign in seven days".&lt;br /&gt;After several weeks he was informed that the sign was legal (by a quarter of an inch) and there was nothing the city could do, which obviously made him madder. I tried to smooth things over by inviting him to go shooting with me and my friends at the hunt club but that seemed to make him even more angry. I then asked him if he wanted to go to a Tea Party rally but again he declined my outreach efforts to bring about a better understanding between political and social opponents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18pt;"&gt;I am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship (notice I did not say friendship), any suggestions would be welcome.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18pt;"&gt;Anyway, that's life in our neck of the woods, how's about yours? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/S83xT7svATI/AAAAAAAAAE8/gl9_WwVLbUE/s1600/image001+(2).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 249px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/S83xT7svATI/AAAAAAAAAE8/gl9_WwVLbUE/s400/image001+(2).jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462287247815409970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    I tried to make this as large as possible, but here's what the sign says if you have a hard time reading: "My Next Door Neighbor wants to ban all guns.

After all, both have a few extremists nuts here and there, but overall they're both peaceful. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;I cannot tell you how tired I am of hearing this drivel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;First of all, the people who claim this conveniently leave out that there might be a so-called "Christian" terror attack every 5 years or so, while Muslim terrorist attacks occur almost every week, if not more. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Some may try to tell you that Timothy McVeigh was a Christian, and then use that as an example of Christian terrorism. You wanna know who propagated that falsehood? Louis Farrakhan. In the aftermath of 9/11, he used that claim as a defense for his own religion. The sad part is that the truth is so easily discovered, yet many today still attempt to use this failed argument. Timothy McVeigh himself said that, "Science is my religion". Leave it to Farrakhan to deduce "Christian" out of that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;We could argue further over the different attacks and plots that have occurred on both sides, but let's get down to the heart of the matter.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The difference is in the beliefs of the separate faiths, not in the actions of people who supposedly adhere to it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The word "Christian" by definition means a Christ follower, or one like Christ. Would Jesus condone murdering police officers? No. Would Jesus condone blowing up innocent children as a way to protest government? Everything Jesus did was an act of love, and clearly, what this militia group was planning had nothing to do with it. They can call themselves Christians all they want to, but their actions were anything but Christ-like. Jesus lived His life, and He killed no one. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;On the other hand, let's look at Muhummad. Can you see him killing innocent people  and raping small children? Oh wait...he did that. Can you see him creating a religion that is fueled by hate and a lust for conquest?

The two don't go together, anymore than conservatism goes with liberalism, common sense goes with Keith Olbermann, and Hillary Clinton goes with...eh, we won't even go there. (Insert Rush Limbaugh's age joke about Hillary here)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Now  you might say, come on, how bad can he be? I'll show you how bad. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;For starters, he wants to cut off all aid to Israel. He also wants to entirely get out of the Middle East, even though that will leave the place in abject disarray. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;He also apparently has problems with calling Hamas a terrorist organization, and he went so far as to deplore Israel's 2009 Gaza offensive and our verbal support of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Citing that the 3,000 rockets fired into Israeli territory were just "a few small missiles", he condemned the House resolution that expressed strong backing for Israel in its invasion of the strip. So not only does he have a problem with us helping Israel, he even opposes us saying anything derogatory about terrorists!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;In other words, he agrees with Cynthia McKinney, but I digress. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;His brilliant plan for the Middle East is this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;We should abandon our ally Israel, the only stable, western democracy in the Middle East to its power-hungry Muslim neighbors, and if Paul has his way, a nuclear armed Iran. Never mind that said country's leadership has already claimed that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. That's the other part of Paul's stance that is pathetic. Not only does he oppose helping Israel in any way whatsoever, he sees no problem with Iran having nukes. His skewed logic is that if we possess nukes, so can the Iranians! If we have it, we shouldn't stop the terrorists from having them either! After all, they need them to defend themselves against us evil westerners. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Never mind that it may lead to a nuclear war that could destroy the Middle East. Never mind that thousands of Israelis and millions of Iranians may die. Never mind that Iran might decide to give those nukes to Al Queda to use on our cities. If we hide behind our borders, they'll never attack us if as long as we leave them alone and let them do what they want unopposed! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;This reminds me of a poem written by a pastor in World War II. I've modified the wording just a little. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;When the Nazis came for the communists,&lt;br /&gt;I remained silent;&lt;br /&gt;I was not a communist.&lt;br /&gt;Then they locked up the social democrats,&lt;br /&gt;I remained silent;&lt;br /&gt;I was not a social democrat.&lt;br /&gt;Then they came for the trade unionists,&lt;br /&gt;I did not protest;I was not a trade unionist.&lt;br /&gt;Then they came for the Israelis,&lt;br /&gt;I did not speak out;&lt;br /&gt;I was not a Israeli.&lt;br /&gt;When they came for me(the Americans),&lt;br /&gt;there was no one left to speak out for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Be silent if you want. Let evil march around the world unopposed while you hide behind your borders afraid that even speaking against it might offend them. See what it gets you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;I won't be. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-7467289805650357451?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/7467289805650357451/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/02/supporting-ron-paul-supporting-israel.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/7467289805650357451'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/7467289805650357451'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/02/supporting-ron-paul-supporting-israel.html' title='Supporting Ron Paul &amp; Supporting Israel are Mutually Exclusive'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-3253263872384108185</id><published>2010-02-01T12:56:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2010-02-01T13:08:09.066-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conservatism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Racism'/><title type='text'>Black History Month is RACIST!</title><content type='html'>Yes that's what I said.&lt;br /&gt;Black history month is nothing more than an attempt to concentrate on a particular ethnic group and elevate them above all the others. True civil rights is about equal treatment, not preferential treatment! (A nice long discourse on the stupidity of affirmative action would go quite nicely here.)&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, I think many in the civil rights movement aren't interested in that. They're more interested in living off of the past, and jamming their policies down our throats to such a point that REVERSE discrimination is now a serious problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its the left who tries to divide us into various groups based upon our ethnicity. Discrimination based on race was what the civil rights movement set out to stop. Now, the left and the new leaders of the civil rights movement are doing the very thing their cause originally set out to stop. Its ironic, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;We don't need a black history month, an hispanic history month, or a white history month. What we need, is an American history month.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-3253263872384108185?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/3253263872384108185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/02/black-history-month-is-racist.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3253263872384108185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3253263872384108185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/02/black-history-month-is-racist.html' title='Black History Month is RACIST!'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-6263227525860101181</id><published>2010-01-06T13:37:00.007-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-06T14:01:28.687-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Election HQ 2010'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healthcare'/><title type='text'>Healthcare Reform Continues to Take Its Toll on the Democrats</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/S0Tpx4E-CgI/AAAAAAAAAEk/m0ZKB1hT78w/s1600-h/chrisdodd24.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 212px; height: 262px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/S0Tpx4E-CgI/AAAAAAAAAEk/m0ZKB1hT78w/s320/chrisdodd24.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423716894337010178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                                                                                                                                                   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;    The Democrats were hit with yet another round of casualites today when Senator Dodd(pictured above), the head of the Senate Banking Committee,  announced his retirement. Another Democrat senator and a state governor announced their retirement earlier this week. Both Dodd, and Senator Byron Dorgan(the other Senate retiree) would've faced difficult campaigns had they sought re-election. Healthcare reform is continuing to take its toll on the Democrats. If this keeps up(and all indications say it will), the Democrat party will be the one needing healthcare, not the American people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some more good news heading into 2010. :) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-6263227525860101181?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/6263227525860101181/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/01/healthcare-reform-keeps-taking-its-toll.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/6263227525860101181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/6263227525860101181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/01/healthcare-reform-keeps-taking-its-toll.html' title='Healthcare Reform Continues to Take Its Toll on the Democrats'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/S0Tpx4E-CgI/AAAAAAAAAEk/m0ZKB1hT78w/s72-c/chrisdodd24.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-4888383019127900599</id><published>2010-01-01T10:22:00.012-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-07T14:28:05.630-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Election HQ 2010'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><title type='text'>Only Believe</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#0000EE;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#0000EE;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;    ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;    THOSE THAT BELIEVE!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;    &lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/Sz4ippVpGUI/AAAAAAAAADk/UTEC0F2yrPk/s320/space+glory%5B1%5D.JPG" /&gt;                                                 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;￼&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;    WILL YOU BELIEVE?

This is my first one, and I would really appreciate your thoughts on it.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.   I will comment on and share links about what's going on in current affairs.

They wrote and signed a 4,700 page document that has been called "The Manhattan Doctrine: A Call of Christian Conscience." This is encouraging in so many ways. First of all, we finally have Christians willing to take a stand against the blatant immorality that liberal politicians are attempting to legalize and incorporate into our culture. This is a really gutsy step on the part of these leaders. The other positive aspect about this is the unity that took place in the signing of this document. Evangelicals, Catholics, and Orthodox leaders joined together in this. Christians put aside their doctrinal issues for what it really important. A house divided against itself cannot stand, and that rule applies to Christians as surely as it applies to anything else. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/ydz2zxo" class="tweet-url web" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/ydz2zxo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Issue of the Month&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Healthcare is crucial, and will continue to be so, but I want to focus on Afghanistan this month. Obama, after months of waffling in indecision, finally announced his decision earlier this week. Essentially, Obama sets a withdrawal date in 2011(close to an election year, by the way), but increases our military force in the country by 30,000.  In his speech, he made no mention of either defeating the Taliban, or capturing Bin Laden. Instead, he said the plan is to bring this war to a "successful conclusion". One of the goals he laid out was to "reverse the Taliban's momentum". Sadly, he didn't use the word "victory" once in his speech. I personally am not sure he even knows the meaning of the word. Maybe he's right about not using the word in his speech, because I very much doubt his plan will end in any type of victory whatsoever. That is, except for the Taliban. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;What the...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;A woman may be charged with a "Hate Crime" for TUGGING on a Muslim woman's head covering. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;This isn't happening in Sudan , this is happening in Illinois!! Its happening in the United States of America!! As shocking as this story is, should we really be that surprised? The libs are in charge. Political correctness reigns supreme. You can't do anything remotely offensive to any minority or religious group unless they're Christians. Not only that, when you add on the fact that we have a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Muslim president&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; Muslim sympathizer in the White House, it makes a little more sense.Notice that this happened in Illinois, which just happens to be the location of Obama's previously held Senate seat.

Its no less than the expose' of the man-made global warming scam, and the main-stream media as a whole has ignored it. Instead, the AP actually started running pro-global warming propoganda news stories around the same time this broke! Thankfully, its been picked up by the conservative media outlets, and the UK Telegraph posted a number of excellent pieces on the subject.. Its not like it used to be. We now have outlets like Fox, Newsmax, the Drudge Report, talk radio, etc. that allows the truth to be heard. There's a reason so many people are turning to those sources I just mentioned for their news coverage. Below is a link to one of the pieces on Climategate, and there is another related story in the Hot Links section below. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100017393/climategate-the-final-nail-in-the-coffin-of-anthropogenic-global-warming/" style="color: rgb(85, 26, 139); "&gt;http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100017393/climategate-the-final-nail-in-the-coffin-of-anthropogenic-global-warming/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:16px;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;Hot Links:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Still think Islam is a religion of peace?

So what is the solution put forward by the liberals in Congress? Let's make a LARGER government program to fix the previous two. This is their solution to everything! More money, more taxes, and inevitably, more government control. Forget about reforming the last 2 programs, let's just throw them away and make an even bigger one! The timing of the bill is pretty idiotic as well. Our economy isn't exactly booming right now, and we are continuing to field massive deficits every year. However, that doesn't seem to stop the liberals from trying to pass a bill that will add trillions of dollars of added debt onto our already struggling economy, not to mention putting many in the medical field out of work. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Of course, liberals try to defend this by citing how we have a "moral obligation" to pay for other people's health insurance. Do we also have a moral obligation to destroy the  America we know and love?? That, is what all this will lead to. If this bill passes, we will have lost a huge chunk of our freedom and individual liberty, and no amount of "free healthcare" will be able to make up for it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;God bless you and God bless America&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-4052233535075305385?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/4052233535075305385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/11/do-we-have-moral-obligation-to-bankrupt.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/4052233535075305385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/4052233535075305385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/11/do-we-have-moral-obligation-to-bankrupt.html' title='Do We Have a Moral Obligation to Bankrupt America?'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-4240953986707402547</id><published>2009-11-04T07:50:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-04T08:35:18.695-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Racism'/><title type='text'>The House of Representatives, Is It Racist?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Politico reported yesterday that all current House Ethics investigations are being directed at African-American lawmakers, which not surprisingly has drawn the ire of the Congressional black caucus.

If there is any racism here, (and I'm not convinced that there is), it's being shown by Democrats, not Republicans. After all, this is the House of Representative run by Nancy Pelosi and Stennie Hoyer.  Liberals have made it their staple over the years to accuse conservatives of racism, sexism,  etc. when they are doing it themselves over and over again! Remember what they did to Palin in the last election? What about the vicious attacks leveled at Justice Clarence Thomas of being a sexual predator? The number of racist and sexist remarks uttered by Democrats is simply unbelievable. Yet, you'll usually find them on their high horse accusing conservatives of those things. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As for the probes themselves, I'm honestly not sure. It could be racism, or it could just be we have a bunch of big city Democrats being nailed on ethics violations.(that in itself isn't very surprising) What do you think? Is it racism, or is it just a coincidence?

Are You Paying attention GOP??</title><content type='html'>Today, Gallup released a groundbreaking new poll that reported 40% of Americans consider themselves conservative, and 20% call themselves liberal. Moderates took the middle with 36%. &lt;div&gt;Despite this, we currently have a president with Marixist views, and a Congress  run by the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. These people aren't even moderates, they're full-blown leftists!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The reason they are in power is two-fold. We as Americans needed to do more. We needed to get out there and promote conservative values, and most importantly, we needed to vote. In many cases, that didn't happen in 2008, and we are now paying dearly for it. The good news is that in many ways we as conservatives are finally getting our act together. Through tea parties, town hall meetings, etc. we are making our voice heard.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What we now have to do is translate these ideals and values into election results. To do that, we need candidates who run their campaigns on conservative values. The Gallup poll numbers back up this premise! If the Republican party wants to regain power, it needs to realize this: A conservative GOP is what will be successful. We don't need a "hip-hop" party, as Michael Steele put it, and we surely don't need a moderate GOP. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For those who say the Republican Party should be more moderate, WHERE WERE YOU IN THE LAST ELECTION?? John McCain was the personification of the "moderate" candidate, and he got his butt kicked. Yet somehow we get these idiotic news stories about how Republicans need to appeal to the moderates and the fence sitters. That was what we did in the last election, and it didn't work! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Republican Party leadership needs to wake up, and get in line with the American people on this. We don't want moderates, liberals, or marxists, we want conservatives!! Then, and only then, will the Republican party be doing things right. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To leave a comment, click on the box at the top right of the blog post. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-1755443695257662689?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/1755443695257662689/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/10/conservatives-40-libs-20-are-you-paying.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/1755443695257662689'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/1755443695257662689'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/10/conservatives-40-libs-20-are-you-paying.html' title='Conservatives, 40%, Libs, 20%.

Joe Wilson of racism. He arrived at this earth-shattering conclusion despite the fact that Joe Wilson essentially only said two words, "You lie" to President Obama.&lt;br /&gt;What are we to assume from Carter's words? That calling Obama a liar equals racism against black people? Is he saying black people are all liars? That is in essence what he is implying. If calling a black man a liar is racist, it obviously implies that lying is associated with his ethnic background.&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure Carter didn't think about that before he made his outrageous claims, which is a problem with most politicians these days.&lt;br /&gt;They don't think about what they say, and worse, many, including our President often don't do what they said they would.&lt;br /&gt;In other words, they lied.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God bless you, and God bless America&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-3972980775228175907?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/3972980775228175907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/09/jimmy-carter-strikes-again.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3972980775228175907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3972980775228175907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/09/jimmy-carter-strikes-again.html' title='Jimmy Carter Strikes Again!'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-8451004403742377256</id><published>2009-09-08T12:25:00.010-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-11T11:21:29.927-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='9/11'/><title type='text'>In Remembrance of Michael P.

As the Vice President of an energy trading company who's offices were located at the WTC,  husband to his wife Michelle, and as a father to their 10 month old son, Michael had many responsibilities both at the office and at home. He lost his life at the young age of 37 during the terrorist attacks that destroyed the Twin Towers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Please take a moment to pray for his family, especially his wife and son. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;And let us make sure, as Americans, that what happened on 9/11 will NEVER happen again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;You can sign his guestbook &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.legacy.com/gb2/default.aspx?bookID=100773&amp;amp;page=4"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The following is the article that was posted in the NYT in his honor, and after that what some of his family, friends, and fellow Americans wrote about him &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Michael P. Lunden's friends always said he was worth waiting for, an assertion he tested frequently. "They called him the Human Rain Delay," said Michelle Lunden, who married him even though he was 20 minutes late to their first date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People would wait for Mr. Lunden, 37, because, basically, no event could start without him. He was the constant center of an ever-widening social circle, a member of 26 wedding parties, a hyperfriendly guy in a loud Brooks Brothers shirt who introduced himself to each and every waiter, bartender and vineyard keeper he came into contact with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Mr. Lunden was not cocooning (loudly) with Michelle and their 10-month- old son at their Manhattan home or their weekend place on the North Fork of Long Island, or playing Friend's Best Man for the umpteenth time, or touting a new merlot, he was an energy trader at Cantor Fitzgerald.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The night before Mr. Lunden's memorial service, a few of his pals — about 85 of them, actually — got together at his favorite steakhouse, Smith &amp;amp; Wollensky. "Somebody said that only Michael would have a rehearsal dinner for his funeral," Ms. Lunden said. Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani happened to be eating there. He went over to see what all the noise was about and ended up donning a baseball cap that said "Lundo!!" and giving a speech about the indomitable spirit of the city. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The following is some of the things that were said about him by his friends and family:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div class="TextEntry" id="ctl00_ctl00_Main_Main_Book_EntryView_ctrl0_Entry_StandardEntry" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;To Michael and his family --&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with no doubt many others, Mike touch my life in a sort of indirect way. My brother and I, Pat, played ice hockey with Mike in the 80-81 Loyola Academy school year. No offense, but Mike was a terrible hockey player. I was not much better, but his spirit, good nature, and constant comedic presence made the season bearable and every practice something to look forward to. I look back at the picture of the team, Neil H, MIke P, Ziggy, etc. And there is Mike, the one guy I knew who perished on that terrible day. May his spirit, craziness, good-heartedness, and all of the rest live on. Go Ramblers, Go Holy Spirit, and Go Mike.

According to some so-called "scientists", trees are now a cause of global warming. The researchers claimed that the vast forests of Canada actually contribute to global warming. So much for the "Plant a tree, save the planet" idea. Seriously though, if trees cause global warming, then humanity is doomed. After all, according to evolutionists, trees have been around for millions of years, and all this time they've been warming the Earth..according these *cough* "scientists.

Back in April, David Leonhart, who writes for the New York Times business column, had this to say about Hitler and Nazism:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;In the summer of 1933, just as they will do on Thursday, heads of government and their finance ministers met in London to talk about a global economic crisis. They accomplished little and went home to battle the crisis in their own ways.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;More than any other country, Germany--Nazi Germany--then set out on a serious stimulus program. The government built up the military, expanded the autobahn, put up stadiums for the 1936 Berlin Olympics and built monuments to the Nazi Party across Munich and Berlin.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;The economic benefits of this vast works program never flowed to most workers, because fascism doesn't look kindly on collective bargaining. But Germany did escape the Great Depression faster than other countries. Corporate profits boomed, and unemployment sank (and not because of slave labor, which didn't become widespread until later). Harold James, an economic historian, says that the young liberal economists studying under John Maynard Keynes in the 1930s began to debate whether Hitler had solved unemployme&lt;/i&gt;nt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then went on make this brilliant statement:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Here in the United States, many people are understandably wondering whether the $800 billion stimulus program will make much of a difference. They want to know: Does stimulus work? Fortunately, this is one economic question that’s been answered pretty clearly in the last century. Yes, stimulus &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;works. "&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In essence, the NYT essentially cited the so-called success of Hitler's stimulus plan as support for that of Obama's . What's ironic is that its the  liberals who have falsely accused those on the right of racism, anti-semitism, (Ann Coulter ring a bell?) and now we find them turning to the Third Reich for support of their plans. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Nice double-standard Mr. Leonhart. What will you think of next?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Sources&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  font-weight: bold; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px;"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/kr7k8h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://tinyurl.com/oy82ez&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-2414787557968037897?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/2414787557968037897/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/08/ny-times-sites-hitlers-stimulus-as.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/2414787557968037897'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/2414787557968037897'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/08/ny-times-sites-hitlers-stimulus-as.html' title='NY Times Cites Hitler&apos;s stimulus as support for Obama&apos;s.'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-8066618873337701277</id><published>2009-08-04T21:09:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T21:12:47.054-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='USA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>Who Am I?

My mother died at an early age from cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Later in life, questions arose over my real name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a&lt;br /&gt;legitimate, reliable birth certificate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as&lt;br /&gt;it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional&lt;br /&gt;beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under&lt;br /&gt;scrutiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I work ed and lived among lower-class people as a young adult,&lt;br /&gt;disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my&lt;br /&gt;life and I embarked on a new career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to&lt;br /&gt;those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father&lt;br /&gt;abandoned me as a child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I became active in local politics in my 30's then with help&lt;br /&gt;behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for&lt;br /&gt;national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk&lt;br /&gt;anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and&lt;br /&gt;no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful&lt;br /&gt;speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they&lt;br /&gt;were small roofing tacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This&lt;br /&gt;bolstered my ego.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign&lt;br /&gt;policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every&lt;br /&gt;opportunity to bash my country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* But what launched my rise to na tional prominence were my views on&lt;br /&gt;the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we&lt;br /&gt;could do better and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.&lt;br /&gt;It was the free market, banks and corporations. I decided to start making&lt;br /&gt;citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan&lt;br /&gt;was clinched tight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all&lt;br /&gt;people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the&lt;br /&gt;traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular&lt;br /&gt;support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we&lt;br /&gt;could change our country and the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf&lt;br /&gt;of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like&lt;br /&gt;the Jews. My true views were not widely known and I needed to keep them&lt;br /&gt;unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily&lt;br /&gt;found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and&lt;br /&gt;examined those people I associated with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the&lt;br /&gt;world. And the world learned the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Who am I?*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ADOLF HITLER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHO WERE YOU THINKING OF?&lt;br /&gt;Scary isn't it?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-8066618873337701277?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/8066618873337701277/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/08/who-am-i-stunning.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/8066618873337701277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/8066618873337701277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/08/who-am-i-stunning.html' title='Who Am I?

I’ll focus specifically on the applications that allow you to update your status, and to perform the bread and butter of Twitter. There are literally thousands of Twitter “apps” but these focus mostly on stream-lining how you see your followers and their tweets. I'd like to thank my fellow tweeters for the input that they provided.  I’ve included links to each of these applications, so by all means check them out for yourself!Note: Screenshots were taken from Mashable.com and toddjordan.com  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p face="arial" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p face="arial" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p face="arial" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center; font-family: lucida grande;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;                                           Tweetdeck&lt;/span&gt;-simple and effective&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p face="arial" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SnHriYLfTwI/AAAAAAAAACA/f-n5wSRr6HM/s1600-h/tweetdeck-26.2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 237px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SnHriYLfTwI/AAAAAAAAACA/f-n5wSRr6HM/s400/tweetdeck-26.2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364327607013691138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;This app caused quite a stir when it was released, and I think it has lived up to the hype about it. I use this application often, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their Twitter experience. One of its  features allows you to group certain Twitter users into different columns. That way, you'll have a better chance of catching the tweets of your favorite people, and its useful in sorting out the flurry of information from Twitter. Tweetdeck also has a feature that allows you to update your Facebook status at the same time you tweet. So far, you can only update your own status and see that of your friends.  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;   &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Tweetdeck also has a filter option, which I haven't used, but its available should you want it. (If you want to learn more about filters, check out &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/brooksbayne"&gt;@brooksbayne &lt;/a&gt;‘s article further down the page). Tweetdeck also has plenty of other services, including 12 Seconds(video recording feature), and Twitscoop, which shows you the top trending words on Twitter The designers  recently released an I-Phone app for Tweetdeck, so you can synchronize your groups and preferences with your desktop. Best of all, this app is simple and easy to use. Its smooth interface, catchy layout, and superior performance has made it the second most popular Twitter app on the web.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p face="arial" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Here's a link to the site: &lt;a href="http://tweetdeck.com/beta/"&gt;http://tweetdeck.com/beta/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p face="arial" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://tweetdeck.com/beta/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center; font-family: lucida grande;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center; font-family: lucida grande;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;                  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Seeismic Desktop&lt;/span&gt;-a little bit of everything&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p face="arial" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SnHrxK9J3gI/AAAAAAAAACI/bn3zAsHQ2XI/s1600-h/seesmic-desktop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 218px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SnHrxK9J3gI/AAAAAAAAACI/bn3zAsHQ2XI/s400/seesmic-desktop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364327861161942530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;                                                                                                                                                                      &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Seesmic is the crossover Twitter application, even more so than Tweetdeck. Mashable reports that the app is “hands down the best Facebook  integration we’ve seen”. Its practically loaded with features, and actually, that’s its weakness. Many users have reported that Seesmic is difficult to organize, and its massive array of features take up  a considerable amount of CPU space, more so than Tweetdeck. I would recommend Seesmic for more Twitter-savy users who don’t mind the more complicated features and controls, but you won’t lose much, if anything by using Tweetdeck. Here's the link to the site: &lt;a href="http://seesmic.com/"&gt;http://seesmic.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p face="lucida grande" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p face="lucida grande" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;                             &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p face="lucida grande" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p face="arial" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;                      &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Destroy Twitter&lt;/span&gt;-Small but efficient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center; font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SnHukuNSW7I/AAAAAAAAACQ/VofaTa-Xlb8/s1600-h/destroy-twitter.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 242px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SnHukuNSW7I/AAAAAAAAACQ/VofaTa-Xlb8/s400/destroy-twitter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364330945821432754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;If you’re looking for a pure performance app, than Destroy Twitter is for you. Its basically a stripped down version of Tweetdeck, so it works well for those with lower-end computers who need as much CPU space as they can get. It comes in a smaller startup window than Tweetdeck or Seeismic, but it also allows you to expand the window if necessary. It has no Facebook integration , and most of the added features of Tweetdeck and Seesmic are missing from Destroy Twitter. It does allow groups, which helps it compete with Tweetdeck. So basically, if you’re looking for a pure performance app that takes up little memory, Destroy Twitter is a good app to use.

I won't judge the man, but it seems our president has had past dealings with this very same Cambridge police department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is from World Net Daily:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama, who targeted the Cambridge, Mass., police department with his comment that one of its officers acted "stupidly" in the arrest of a black man, has a history with the department dating from his college years to as recently as the launch of his presidential campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;According to the Somerville Times in 2007, as a Harvard Law School student, Obama got parking tickets during 1989-1991 from the Cambridge Police Department that he left unpaid until just weeks before he announced his bid for the presidency. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"In other words, as a practicing lawyer in Chicago, he allowed these tickets and penalties to remain unpaid; as an Illinois state senator he allowed these tickets and fines to remain unpaid; and as a United States senator he allowed these almost-two-decade-old signs of his disdain for the law to remain unpaid," commented John LeBoutillier on Newsmax.com. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Washington Post said two years ago that the tickets included parking without a proper permit and parking in a bus stop.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Associated Press reported in 2007 that Obama's "healthy stack" of parking tickets was finally paid, including late fees, "two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Said Jen Psaki, spokeswoman for Obama's campaign during his race to the White House, "He didn't owe that much and what he did owe, he paid. … Many people have parking tickets and late fees." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The White House press office did not respond to a request for a comment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WND&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting...to say the least.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source&lt;br /&gt;http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=104935&lt;br /&gt;Thanks also goes out to &lt;span class="status-body"&gt;&lt;span class="entry-content"&gt;@&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/patriotroom"&gt;patriotroom&lt;/a&gt; for tweeting this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-4247126034234602508?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/4247126034234602508/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/07/obama-and-cambridge-police-have-met.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/4247126034234602508'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/4247126034234602508'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/07/obama-and-cambridge-police-have-met.html' title='Obama and the Cambridge Police Have Met Before'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-3356097319265184625</id><published>2009-07-11T17:47:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-16T14:02:53.751-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>America is a land of freedom- Let's Keep It that Way.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;America is the greatest nation on the planet. The freedom that exists here is unparelled to the rest of the world. In other countries, people wake up in the morning concerned for their lives. They live in fear, afraid that some terrorist may kill them, or that they may not be able to find anything to eats. Many Americans on the other hand wake up in the morning with their biggest concern being whether they should order Cafe un Lait or a Cappuccino at Starbucks on their way to work.  Sure, we may face challenges and tough situations, but how often do Americans face starvation or bands of genocidal terrorists? Even the poor among us aren't in any danger of starving, and I've noticed that some Americans living in what I would consider abject poverty have tv satillites. That may be part of the reason why they live in poverty...but nevertheless, they'd be considered rich by some countries' standards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;              So why is this the case? Why is America so much better off than most of the world? The answer lies in our founding as a nation. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and others, envisioned an America where everyone would be able to use their God-given ability and creativity without being constantly interfered with by government. A place where people could be creative and improve themselves without being concerned that it would be taken from them by thieves, in government or otherwise. The government's role in fact was to ensure that this wouldn't take place! American government was supposed to protect our freedom, not infringe upon it! We've come a long ways from that place of liberty, unfortunately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Over the years, as our nation has grown more prosperous and successful, government has slowly increased its role in our lives. Even worse, a  growing segment of the population has come to believe that government, and not the individual, should be responsible for the welfare of the individual. We see this in the demands for universal healthcare, welfare, and housing projects. These are all ways in which people, refusing to take responsibility for their own lives and their own problems, resign them to government. Sadly, they then become little more than slaves to government. They are provided for, but they live lives of terrible mediocrity and misery, and without purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Al Kaltman once said that, "Without meaningful work, life stinks". When people live their lives as simple wards of the government, they have no vision to succeed, no vision to prosper, and no vision to improve themselves.                                                                          The Bible states even more powerfully that , "Without vision, a people perish". I know of a young boy raised in the slums who my parents tried to help. They asked the little boy about what he wanted to do in life, and do you know what he said? He didn't say he wanted to be a firefighter, or an astronaut, or an athlete. Instead, his whole vision in life was to fake injuries and problems so he could get more money from welfare!&lt;br /&gt; That is the future of the liberal ideas that we see around us. That is the future in surrendering our responsibility, and our lives to the control of government. Things like this don't happen instantly. It takes time, and slowly, our liberties and our freedoms erode away until in the end, we have lost all that we are.&lt;br /&gt;Its a dead-end road my friends, and I pray God that America does not stay on this path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So don't shirk your responsibility! Don't surrender the God-given ability you have to create wealth and improve your life to the whims of bureaucrats in Washington D. C. They  can't do a better job than you at running your life, I guarantee it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Jedimaster_OPS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-3356097319265184625?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/3356097319265184625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/07/two-americas.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3356097319265184625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3356097319265184625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/07/two-americas.html' title='America is a land of freedom- Let&apos;s Keep It that Way.'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-1583890074374792423</id><published>2009-07-04T11:02:00.010-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-13T13:29:57.827-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conservatism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>Independence Day...lest we forget.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;On July 4, 1776, 56 men placed their signature on the Declaration of Independence, knowing that in doing so their lives would be in jeopardy.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.&lt;br /&gt;He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.&lt;br /&gt;He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.&lt;br /&gt;He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.&lt;br /&gt;He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.&lt;br /&gt;He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.&lt;br /&gt;He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:&lt;br /&gt;For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:&lt;br /&gt;For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:&lt;br /&gt;For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:&lt;br /&gt;For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:&lt;br /&gt;For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:&lt;br /&gt;For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences&lt;br /&gt;For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:&lt;br /&gt;For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:&lt;br /&gt;For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.&lt;br /&gt;He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.&lt;br /&gt;He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty &amp;amp; perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.&lt;br /&gt;He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.&lt;br /&gt;He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 10px;

It now will face the Senate. I could go into why the cap and trade system itself is flawed, but what it will do to the American consumer by design is an even greater problem. In short, it is simply a backdoor tax plan authored by liberals in the Democrat Party. This isn't a small tax increase either, its massive. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Heritage has studied this and reported that by 2035 these commodities would experience the following massive increases in price:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gasoline prices by 58 percent&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Natural gas prices by 55 percent&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Home heating oil by 56 percent&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Worst of all, electricity prices by 90 percent&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Notice who this will hit the most...the middle and lower classes, the people the Democrat party always says its helping. The companies and major businesses, as is always the case when the rich are excessively taxed, won't be the ones suffering the most. They'll simply pass the tax increases on to the American consumer, typically your average middle-class citizen. The gas prices will rise because the oil companies have to pay the added tax mandated by Congress and supported by President Obama. To pay it, they will tack the extra price onto every gallon you buy. When the total costs and taxes are added up, an average family of four will pay nearly $3000 extra dollars per year because of the cap and trade system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I personally believe that if this bill passes, it will be the death knell of our free market economy. Could we recover from it? Yes, but America shouldn't have to repeat the mistakes of all the other countries who tried cap and trade, and it didn't work for them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Why do Democrats in Congress and the White House think it will work for us?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Contact your senators, and ask them to vote no on cap and trade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Pray that they will not be pressured by liberal activists, the president, or their own party.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;God bless you and God bless America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-5530205313704422354?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/5530205313704422354/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/06/cap-and-trade-backdoor-tax-plan.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/5530205313704422354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/5530205313704422354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/06/cap-and-trade-backdoor-tax-plan.html' title='Cap and Trade, the backdoor tax plan.'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-6044650748110087941</id><published>2009-06-20T17:55:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-20T21:57:05.221-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Father's Day</title><content type='html'>To all you Dads out there, Happy Father's Day!

For that I am forever grateful. Thank you for your love, and for being my Dad. You are the best Dad I could ever have.&lt;br /&gt;I love you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the time tomorrow to thank your Dad, and to honor him.

While that's true, the power of the presidential office in Iran is really quite limited. The real leader of Iran is not the president, but the Supreme Leader who hold supreme(tough guess huh?) and unlimited authority. Guess who the Supreme Leader supported in this election? Ahmadinejad. Guess who won by a large margin? Ahmadinejad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the Supreme Leader actually decides who can run for the office of  president in the first place. The president is actually little more than a mouthpiece who regurgitates what is given to to him by the Supreme Leader. Kinda like the main-stream media with Obama.                         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is that there is a large number of Iranians who are tired of the extremist views of their radical leaders and who yearn for a freedom like that being experienced in Iraq and in a lesser sense Afghanistan. Whether they'll be able to overthrow the oppression anytime soon remains to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing is for sure though, Iran is not a democracy. It is instead a totalitarian regime controlled by a group of Islamic extremists determined to at whatever cost complete their goal-the destruction of Israel, and in a greater sense, the Western world as we know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God bless.&lt;br /&gt;Remember to pray!&lt;br /&gt;Links&lt;br /&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran&lt;br /&gt;http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/iran_election_Ahmadinejad/2009/06/13/224802.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-3117975265362686665?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/3117975265362686665/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/06/irans-election-surprise-not.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3117975265362686665'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3117975265362686665'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/06/irans-election-surprise-not.html' title='Iran&apos;s Election Surprise-NOT!'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-6355893837639492505</id><published>2009-06-06T16:48:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-06T17:26:06.402-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Absurdities of Obama's Cairo Speech</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;In&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;his speech addressed to the Muslim world, Obama said the following: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; "a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam.  It was Islam at places like Al-Azhar that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's renaissance and enlightenment.  It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra, our magnetic compass and tools of navigation, our mastery of pens and printing, our understanding of how disease spreads and how it could be healed.  Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires, timeless poetry and cherished music, elegant calligraphy, and places of peaceful contemplation -- and throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;What is amazing about this piece of rhetorical gibberish is that half of it is completely false! Algebra was discovered by the Sumerians thousands of years before Muhammed ever penned the Koran(or as Obama calls it, the "holy" koran. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Rush Limbaugh commented on Obama's stunning piece of oratory with this observation: Now, what am I supposed to say? I'm not supposed to say this stuff.  Now, let's see, let's see. "Our mastery of pens and printing..."  Has anybody ever heard of Gutenberg?  I didn't know Gutenberg was a Muslim.  "Our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed..."?  Are there Nobel Prizes for Medicine awarded to Muslims I have missed?  "Islamic has given us some majestic arches and soaring spires..." Well, sorry, folks, but arches and spires predate the arrival of Islam by centuries.  I mean, come on, folks. Arches?  Anybody heard of Rome?  He also talked about the great gift, "timeless poetry and cherished music."  The only problem there is that music -- and musical instruments especially -- are forbidden in most Islamic traditions.  And it should be unnecessary to have to note Islam's "religious tolerance" has been demonstrated. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;This brings me to the most absurd line of Obama's speech. After praising Islam's contributements to our architecture, he said that Islam gave us "places of peaceful contemplation" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Really???? Where are those places? Is it Jerusalem, which has been plagued by Islamic suicide bombers for the last 20 years? Is it India, which has suffered from Islamic extremists for literally hundreds of years? How about Indonesia, which has been turned into a seabed of violence through Islamic unrest? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;There isn't much peace in regular Islamic countries either. Women are brutally oppressed, some even put to death for accidentally showing their arms in public. Where is the peace and tolerance? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;The only place that really fits Obama's description is Ground Zero, where in the aftermath of 9/11 millions of Americans honored the valiant firefighters, police officers, and citizens who lost their lives because of Islamic terrorism. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;The words Islam and peace just don't go together. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-6355893837639492505?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/6355893837639492505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/06/absurdities-of-obamas-cairo-speech.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/6355893837639492505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/6355893837639492505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/06/absurdities-of-obamas-cairo-speech.html' title='The Absurdities of Obama&apos;s Cairo Speech'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-1260570921230145940</id><published>2009-05-27T13:45:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-27T13:48:34.939-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A New Perspective on violent criminals.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/Sh2KzacoPFI/AAAAAAAAAB4/DrHvc6dgzyw/s1600-h/image012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The liberals are defaming the professionals in the CIA who have dedicated their lives to keeping this country safe. Even worse than that, a blatant double-standard that has existed in liberalism for a long time has been pushed to the forefront.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As   I watch Democrats ranging from Pelosi to Obama furiously talk about our responsibilities and the importance of sticking to our morals, I think, what of the babies? What about their rights?   The liberals are willing to give terrorists rights, but not babies! Such is the morality of the Democrat party and liberals in general, and to me, the word to describe it is "sickening".&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conservatives think differently. We consider the lives of the innocent unborn to be precious, certainly far more important than the inconveniencing of a few terrorists. Unlike liberals, we truly live up to our morals, by saving the innocent, and at the same time, respecting the lives of enemy combatants.                &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;That is one of the things that has made our country the bastion of freedom and morality that it is.

Are the oceans overheating? Are the little polar bears in the Artic losing their icebergs? Are we ruining the planet with our cars and use of fossil fuels?&lt;br /&gt;Here is the answer. These are cold hard facts...Not fiction. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;The first view held by supporters of global warming is that the increased jump in carbon dioxide caused by cars, factories, etc. traps sunlight on the Earth, thus causing a temperature increase. Is this fact or fiction?&lt;br /&gt;Well, scientific charts conclusively show that with the sudden jump in carbon dioxide emissions, the ocean's temperture, and earth temperture in general did not increase at a level anywhere near the level of the increase in carbon dioxide. It is true that ocean levels are increasing, but at a extremely slow level. This level has not changed in the past 5,000 years. Carbon emissions only jumped with the advent of the automobile and factories. The ocean, and the temperature has not spiked in the last century. Now this is scientific data, and for a link go to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/comment.php?comment.news.83"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/comment.php?comment.news.83&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A second view held by global warming supporters is that the polar ice capes are melting. This is where global warming supporters claim that the polar bears are losing their natural habitat. The truth about this though, is that it is simply not true. In fact, Artic ice has grown in the last year or two. Every change the ice level is simply the Earth adjusting, not humanity destroying it...You want evidence... Here it is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/comment.php?comment.news.81"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/comment.php?comment.news.81&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now for the scientific evidence:&lt;br /&gt;I have been given pro-global warming sites to look at by certain people, and I found no scientific evidence! The meager evidence for global warming was Al Gore mistaken assumption that Mt. Kilomanjaro's ice was melting because of global warming. Now it was true that the total ice level decreased, but even global warming advocates say that he went overboard. Even the evidence he provided was rather sketchy. First of all, Kilomajaro is a volcano! Even though it is extinct, I would think that any decrease in snow could be easily explained. Furthermore, it just happens to be on the continent with the most vegetation and the least man-made carbon emissions! Even more important, Kilomanjaro is an isolated incident. Decrease in snow has not been detected on any other of the mountains in the world as far as I know. For scientific backing on the subject, go to the link below&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2008/07/28/back-to-africa-kilimanjaro-update/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2008/07/28/back-to-africa-kilimanjaro-update/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now for the funny part:&lt;br /&gt;I found this intensely amusing...Some global warming advocates claim that cattle droppings is a cause of global warming! Now seriously, according to the evolutionary theory which most these people seem to believe, cows have been around at least a 100,000 years before man was here. Would not global warming have occurred during that long period without man to dispose of the waste? Well it didn't, thats very plain to see. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;Another thought: Humanity expells carbon dioxide when we breathe. Exactly how do we put limits on that?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;More recently, some global warming theorists claimed that trees now cause global warming! How crazy can you get?&lt;br /&gt;Some of the most extreme global warming activists want to give you an enviromental card, so that you could only cause so much damage to the enviroment everyday. Once it runs out, you have to pay fines or borrow off of someone elses card! (this has actually been put forward by liberal lawmakers in the U.K.)&lt;br /&gt;Now, does global warming exist? The answer is yes, but global cooling exists as well. Do you want to know what causes warming and cooling(it's really very simple). The Sun does! . Now this should be obvious!! The Sun generates heat, so if it cools a little bit or warms a little, the Earth experiences slightly colder or warmer temperatures!&lt;br /&gt;Right now though, global warming has effectively stopped! Temperature charts by NASA, and other organizations all show that the temperature levels actually decreased. Uh oh, now we have global cooling! Now maybe we should start burning up more fossil fuels to heat up the planet! Scientific evidence is given below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/monckton/global_warming_has_stopped.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/monckton/global_warming_has_stopped.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now why is this? Well, NASA reported that the Sun has entered a period of cooling. So guess what happens? We get cooler temperatures! Once again a link is provided below. And note that these people provide factual links to their stuff, unlike certain global warming sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/comment.php?comment.news.84"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/comment.php?comment.news.84&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sites that I have given you are good examples of anti-global warming sites. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;This site is typical of global warming advocates. No evidence...just mass hysteria. http://www.stopglobalwarming.org/sgw_learnmore.asp&lt;br /&gt;In closing, changes in global temperature are caused by the Sun, not by anything man-made. The doctrine of man-made global warming is a outright fallacy, as evidence conclusively shows. Unlike what you may have heard, not everyone believes in global warming. More than half of the websites on the internet regarding Global warming are in opposition to what global warming activists claim. Plus, there are numbers upon numbers of scientists that oppose it. 31,000 scientists have signed a petition against global warming-and that vastly outnumbers the scant 2500 that signed the IPCC report that liberals tout as evidence of man-made global warming. I am willing to put forward that the doctrine of man-made global warming is just another way for liberals in power to gain even more control over people, business, and over anything they can get their hands on..&lt;br /&gt;The doctrine of man-made global warming is a bold-faced lie that relies on the gross manipulation of data and the ignorance of the people to succeed. Do not let that be you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;God bless you, and God bless America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-3842280427002985645?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/3842280427002985645/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/04/fallacy-of-man-made-global-warming.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3842280427002985645'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/3842280427002985645'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/04/fallacy-of-man-made-global-warming.html' title='The Fallacy of Man-made Global Warming'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-7777070037903436132</id><published>2009-04-04T12:16:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-04-04T12:25:52.936-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><title type='text'>Obama's Bow...Gaffe or not?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SdeXs3WrNzI/AAAAAAAAABo/rTStaQvVOx0/s1600-h/bowing+to+Saudi+King.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 254px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SdeXs3WrNzI/AAAAAAAAABo/rTStaQvVOx0/s320/bowing+to+Saudi+King.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320888281790625586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;           The main-stream media considers President Barrack Hussein Obama's bow to the Muslim king of Saudi Arabia a gaffe.

According to some so-called "scientists", trees are now a cause of global warming. The so-called study was done on Canada's forests, and the researchers claimed that the vast forests of Canada "once huge help on greenhouse gases, now contribute to climate change. Now seriously, if trees actually contribute to  global warming, then we're in big trouble. After all, according to evolutionists, trees have been around for millions of years, and all this time they've been warming the Earth. What say ye tree huggers to that?&lt;br /&gt;The very trees that you fight for so desperately are the very ones that are destroying the environment. That's if carbon dioxide based global warming existed, which I'm happy to say it doesn't.&lt;br /&gt;However,  for those of you who like the woods...&lt;i&gt;and &lt;/i&gt;believe in global warming...you'll never be able to take a hike the same way ever again. You'll feel too betrayed by the trees that are destroying your planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully for the rest of us, and in the end even you, global warming as put forward by Al Gore simply doesn't exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;God bless you and God bless America&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.&lt;br /&gt;In case you still are shaking your heads in disbelief, here's a &lt;a href="http://www.courant.com/chi-canada-trees_wittjan02,0,1942058.story" _fcksavedurl="http://www.courant.com/chi-canada-trees_wittjan02,0,1942058.story"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-9175195634842750128?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/9175195634842750128/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/03/trees-cause-global-warming.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/9175195634842750128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/9175195634842750128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/03/trees-cause-global-warming.html' title='Trees Cause Global Warming'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-192079966086776962</id><published>2009-03-03T17:35:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-03T17:53:12.478-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rush Limbaugh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Taxes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Big Government'/><title type='text'>Do we want Obama to fail?</title><content type='html'>The media went nuts when Rush Limbaugh said this. On his radio program, and in an interview with Shawn Hannity, the talk-show host said, "I want Obama to fail". While some were saying that Rush wanted the president personally to fail,  if you'd actually take the time to read the context of Rush's words you would realize what he was saying. What he meant was Obama's policies, and I think that's a question we need to ask ourselves, "Do we want Obama to fail?&lt;br /&gt;     The economy is tanking even I speak. The DOW has plunged 3000 points since Obama's inauguration, and despite media assurances that it will improve, it has continued its downward spiral. Nothing has been done to inspire confidence anywhere, and the new solution appears to be tax hikes!  The stimulus is having little effect, especially where it matters-on Wallstreet.  Actually the stimulus &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; having an effect, but its not improving the economy. What the stimulus, and the various government takeovers of corporations begun last year are doing, is drastically increasing the power and oversight of government. If Obama's plan succeeds, America  will be little more than a massive socialist democracy. So do we want this to succeed? Can we actually get behind the man and say I want his plans to succeed? Do we want him to succeed in the agenda of turning the United States into a socialist democracy? Will we violate our principles just to supposedly "get behind" the president?&lt;br /&gt;I for one, cannot. So yes, I want Obama to fail. Not the man personally, but his policies and his socialist agenda that threatens the greatness of America.&lt;br /&gt;I for one will not be a party in "remaking America"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God bless you and God bless America&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JediMaster_OPS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-192079966086776962?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/192079966086776962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/03/do-we-want-obama-to-fail.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/192079966086776962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/192079966086776962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/03/do-we-want-obama-to-fail.html' title='Do we want Obama to fail?'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028859268005400579.post-7697227101861056013</id><published>2009-02-25T18:04:00.006-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-25T18:09:15.993-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The New Face of the UK</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaXdjWlnUVI/AAAAAAAAAAw/-GmCiJl7QTc/s1600-h/protest1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 198px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaXdjWlnUVI/AAAAAAAAAAw/-GmCiJl7QTc/s320/protest1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306891335354503506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read an article about this a few days ago. The UK, and especially London, is experiencing a massive influx of foreign immigrants who are mostly Muslims. Roughly 1/3 of London's total population is Muslim. Just to show you how bad it is, the Muslims now outnumber the Anglican church. Muslims are now being sworn into government positions...on the Koran no less. This is what you get with multi-culturism, and lax immigration laws...two pet projects of the Liberals everywhere. It has the capability to destroy a nation. We're seeing the results in the UK, and in France as well...the important thing is, will the United States wake up before its too late?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3028859268005400579-7697227101861056013?l=jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/7697227101861056013/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-face-of-uk.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/7697227101861056013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3028859268005400579/posts/default/7697227101861056013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jedimasterofpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-face-of-uk.html' title='The New Face of the UK'/><author><name>JediMaster_OPS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11618160207351643732</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaSg2b0wj4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/RhrEBKkr6ag/S220/Star-Wars-Icons-star-wars-3663970-100-100.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6YL_L9_D-s/SaXdjWlnUVI/AAAAAAAAAAw/-GmCiJl7QTc/s72-c/protest1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
