Germany and Europe were rebuilt into today's economic powerhouses by the United State's Marshall Plan. Japan saw its after war military occupation overseen by America's General McArthur which placed that nation on a path to success in just a few decades. Reconstruction in America's South was nothing like the Marshall Plan nor Occupation of Japan. It was basically designed to punish, not help and its legacy continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Mississippi ... is an economic black hole, and it shows in the way people suffer there. And, as is true with black holes, it is nearly impossible for the residents of Mississippi to escape their difficult financial situations. There is a dearth of federal programs that target specific states and cities based on local economic need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more: &lt;a href="http://247wallst.com/2011/09/14/americas-poorest-states/#ixzz1YJX62foR"&gt;America’s Poorest States - 24/7 Wall St.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-8651504087246597421?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/8651504087246597421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=8651504087246597421' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/8651504087246597421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/8651504087246597421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/09/south-and-legacy-of-reconstruction.html' title='The South and the Legacy of Reconstruction'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-6511806287930295994</id><published>2011-09-15T15:25:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-09-15T15:25:17.777-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='capitalism'/><title type='text'>Hydrogen Barackcide - Kills Capitalism on Contact</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.tobytoons.com/td/cartoon/20090609/hydrogen-barackside.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.tobytoons.com/td/files/toons/2009/color_barackside.jpg" alt="Barackcide" Title="Barackcide"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-6511806287930295994?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/6511806287930295994/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=6511806287930295994' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/6511806287930295994'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/6511806287930295994'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/09/hydrogen-barackcide-kills-capitalism-on.html' title='Hydrogen Barackcide - Kills Capitalism on Contact'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-5732040458192447651</id><published>2011-09-15T09:41:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-09-15T09:46:21.460-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ignorance'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='slavery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kkk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='civil rights'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democrats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='american history'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ku klux klan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='al gore'/><title type='text'>The Real Democrats</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"&gt;First Off - President Barack Obama is completely owned and licensed by Liberal Progressives&amp;nbsp;and Democrats.

We need to remind ourselves as Americans, especially those who be not Evangelical, that when any Christian sect is persecuted, religious freedom for all Christians is in peril. If a publicly funded organization condemned and accused Jews or Muslims because of the "weird" beliefs of their religions, said entity would be called out as anti-Semitic or Islamophobic. Now, virtually no one speaks up for persecuted Christians in America, as National Public Radio seeks to overthrow the U.S. Constitution's guarantee to protect the religious freedom of all Americans. &lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/08/24/139781021/the-evangelicals-engaged-in-spiritual-warfare"&gt;NPR.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also need to remind ourselves that &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/11/13/taxpayers-provide-percent-nprs-funding-analyst-says/#ixzz1WLYFKBzS"&gt;Taxpayers Provide More Than 25 Percent of NPR's Funding&lt;/a&gt; and undoubtedly, a majority of those taxpayers are Christians. Hence, American Christians are funding the very ones who persecute them and attempt to overthrow the United States Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALL Christians believe in what non-Christians and NPR interpret as weird, unscientific tenets of faith. All Christians! Catholics, main-line Protestants, and other NPR-approved, acceptable Christians, have not yet been Fatwaed by National Public Radio, but those churches should feel threatened nevertheless. To be a Christian is to believe in the narrative of Jesus, and from His birth to His death there is mysticism which cannot be explained by science. Taxpayer-supported National Public Radio (NPR) has gone to war against Evangelical Christians because they are "weird" Christians. NPR seeks to convince their uneducated listeners that "weird" Christians are unqualified from holding public office in the United States of America. NPR and its listeners are oblivious to America's history and its founding by radical Christians from Europe, including the Puritans and Pilgrims, who like Evangelicals today, were Fatawed in their time and driven from their native homes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If NPR wants to continue to discredit, ridicule and attempt to disenfranchise Christians, it should learn to do so on its own dime, instead of beggaring public funds from taxpaying Christians who are currently FORCED to send their hard-earned dollars to the government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read what the self-described kind, tolerant, erudite NPR Listeners have to say about their fellow Americans because of their weird belief in Jesus: &lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/08/24/139781021/the-evangelicals-engaged-in-spiritual-warfare#commentBlock"&gt;Evangelicals are Engaged in Spiritual Warfare&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(*) Fatwa, meaning severe denunciation, usually of religious issues, is a Semitic root word, which has been used in the English language since 1625.&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/10949814-3334939749657302001?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/3334939749657302001/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=3334939749657302001' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/3334939749657302001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/3334939749657302001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/08/npr-decrees-fatwa-on-evangelical.html' title='NPR Decrees Fatwa on Evangelical Christians'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-4676321635344425834</id><published>2011-08-15T21:46:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-15T21:56:28.629-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tina brown'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the daily beast'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='michelle goldberg'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dominionism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='theocracy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christianity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political islamism'/><title type='text'>Dominionism - Christian Bigotry from Leftists</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Dominionism is Christian Bigotry straight up!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dominionism has been made up by Leftist journalists (Wikipedia ♥ Leftists) to smear Conservative candidates who are of the Christian Faith.

Lee. He quotes the supposedly RACIST™ writings of "J. Steven Williams" and then deduces that since Bachmann reads Williams, she too is a RACIST™. Problem is - there is NO such person as "J. Steven Williams." If only Serwer could spell - but that would be too much to expect of Leftist writers who appear in "The American Prospect."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;She is also a fan of Robert E. Lee biographer J. Steven Williams, whom Lizza describes as a "leading proponent of the theory that the South was an orthodox Christian nation unjustly attacked by the godless North." Wilkins "approvingly" cites Lee's conviction that abolition was premature because it was necessary for "the sanctifying effects of Christianity” to take their time “to work in the black race and fit its people for freedom.” Not only that but as Lizza reports, Williams hates abolitionists and thought slavery was awesome: &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;b&gt;Bachmann's Views On Slavery Are Worse Than You Thought&lt;/b&gt;", except that Adam Serwer is not honest enough to tell you that they are not Bachmann's views, but are the views of the fictional "J.

In numerous television appearances, Obama’s counter-terrorism chief John Brennan didn’t and his deputy national security adviser Denis McDonough didn’t. Despite the numerous news reports that named the SEALs, none of the anonymous briefers from the CIA and Pentagon would confirm it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Who was it who spilled the beans and put the life of every Navy Seal in danger?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Here’s what "&lt;i&gt;legendarily verbose and loose-lipped Vice President Joe Biden said at a dinner at Washington’s Ritz Carlton Hotel&lt;/i&gt;" a few days after Obama Bin Laden was killed by American forces in Pakistan: "&lt;i&gt;Admiral James Stavridis is a, is the real deal. He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.&lt;/i&gt;" &lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyharnden/100086416/joe-biden-opens-his-mouth-about-us-navy-seals/"&gt;The Telegraph, May 4th, 2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Today, in KABUL, Afghanistan, Taliban Insurgents shot down a U.S. military helicopter killing 30 American warriors&lt;/span&gt;, most of them belonging to the same elite Navy SEALs unit that killed Osama bin Laden, as well as seven Afghan commandos. It was the deadliest single loss for American forces in the decade-old war. "&lt;i&gt;The downing was a stinging blow to the lauded, tight-knit SEAL Team 6, months after its crowning achievement. It was also a heavy setback for the U.S.-led coalition as it begins to draw down thousands of combat troops fighting what has become an increasingly costly and unpopular war.&lt;/i&gt;" (&lt;a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/AS_AFGHANISTAN?SITE=AP&amp;amp;SECTION=HOME&amp;amp;TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&amp;amp;CTIME=2011-08-06-06-27-19"&gt;30 U.S. Troops Killed in Afghanistan&lt;/a&gt;) News updates are describing that 22 of those 30 (or 31) warriors were members of SEAL Team 6.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Who Was It Who "&lt;i&gt;Spiked the Football&lt;/i&gt;" Rather Than Protect the Anonymity of Seal Team 6?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the National Security Beans were Spilled, it was "&lt;i&gt;Katy Bar the Door&lt;/i&gt;" if you can, as Obama, his aides, the CIA and the Pentagon practically tripped over one another in their zeal to have their President bask in the glory of Seal Team 6. It is described today of all days by &lt;a href="http://www.startribune.com/opinion/otherviews/127067228.html"&gt;Maureen Dowd, of the New York Times&lt;/a&gt;, August 6, 2011:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;[Obama] personally refocused the mission to capture the 9/11 architect after W. dropped the ball. He has told people what a thrill it was to meet SEAL Team 6 — and the dog Cairo — which pulled off the hit, noting that the men looked less young and fearsome than he expected, and more like guys working at Home Depot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House clearly blessed the dramatic reconstruction of the mission by &lt;a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/08/08/110808fa_fact_schmidle?currentPage=1"&gt;Nicholas Schmidle in The New Yorker&lt;/a&gt; — so vividly descriptive of the SEALS' looks, quotes and thoughts that Schmidle had to clarify after the piece was published that he had not actually talked to any of them. "I'll just say that the 23 SEALs on the mission that evening were not the only ones who were listening to their radio communications," Schmidle said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House is also counting on the Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal big-screen version of the killing of bin Laden to counter Obama's growing reputation as ineffectual. The Sony film by the Oscar-winning pair will no doubt reflect the president's cool, gutsy decision against shaky odds. Just as Obamaland was hoping, the movie is scheduled to open on Oct. 12, 2012 — perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost to a campaign that has grown tougher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moviemakers are getting top-level access to the most classified mission in history from an administration that has tried to throw more people in jail for leaking classified information than the Bush administration. It was clear that the White House had outsourced the job of manning up the president's image to Hollywood when Boal got welcomed to the upper echelons of the White House and the Pentagon and showed up recently — to the surprise of some military officers — at a CIA ceremony celebrating the hero SEALs.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Connecting the Dots - What Really Happened?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-487936904286895791?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/487936904286895791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=487936904286895791' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/487936904286895791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/487936904286895791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/08/who-outed-seal-team-six.html' title='Who Outed Seal Team 6?'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-7846541021313657236</id><published>2011-08-05T11:14:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-05T16:45:48.976-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='&quot;corporate jet owners&quot;'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democrats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='&quot;hostage taking&quot;'/><title type='text'>Democrats - The REAL Hostage Takers</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Hostage Takers!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although President Barack Obama has been accusing the Republicans in Congress of holding "&lt;i&gt;a Gun against the Heads of the American People to extract tax breaks for corporate jet owners&lt;/i&gt;," the real "Hostage Takers" in America are the leaders in the Democrat Party. They showed their "Hostage Taking" bonafides in the 2008 Obama Presidential campaign when they threatened America - &lt;b&gt;"Vote for Barack Obama or else we will continue to call out America as a RACIST™ nation."&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate Magazine, in a 2008 article titled "&lt;i&gt;If Obama Loses&lt;/i&gt;" wrote that &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121968110578569543.html"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;racism is the only reason McCain might beat&lt;/i&gt;" Obama&lt;/a&gt;. So ... Americans capitulated to the "Hostage Takers" and elected Barack Obama as their President, rather than be accused of RACISM™ by voting for a genuine American military hero, John McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then of course, as "Hostage Takers" will do you, Democrats did not keep their promise. Immediately after the 2008 Election of the promised "Hope and Change" President who would transcend Race, the Obama White House and its army of acolytes called out Americans as RACIST™, even those Americans who had cast their votes for Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IMol7h2CRmA?fs=1" width="425"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hostage Takers!

"&lt;i&gt;Pursed lip breathing is done to reduce anxiety. It restricts the flow of air and thus slows your breathing, heartbeat, and mind. It's a 'cooling' breath. ... The pattern is a long, slow inhale through pursed lips, and a long, deep exhale with a relaxed open mouth.&lt;/i&gt;" Many people learn this breathing relaxation in Hatha Yoga, but many others learn it early on as "&lt;i&gt;the Cigarette Breath&lt;/i&gt;." It is a perfect relaxation trick for smokers stuck in a non-smoking environment. Purse your lips, Mr. President and "&lt;i&gt;Just pretend you're smoking a cigarette.

And liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength" — while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn't violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. &lt;a href="http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0811/steyn080111.php3"&gt;--Mark Steyn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-452199471932141227?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/452199471932141227/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=452199471932141227' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/452199471932141227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/452199471932141227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-is-multiculturalism.html' title='What is Multiculturalism?'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-2584398641842755473</id><published>2011-07-21T08:22:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-21T08:32:50.480-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='india'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Taliban'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistani army'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='war on terror'/><title type='text'>America's Pakistani Army</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="display: block; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;The Pakistani army has been the beneficiary of vast amounts of American assistance and money; $11 billion since 9/11. The Pakistani army diverted much of those resources to arming itself against its most hated enemy -- India. To insure the flow of American aid to Pakistan, its army has convinced the United States that it is an ally in fighting the war on terror, intent on continuing that war rather than winning it. The army's duplicity was exposed last May, with the killing of Osama bin Laden in the Pakistani army's own garrison town of Abbottabad, Pakistan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"All this time the army kept alive a double game, in which some terror was fought and some—such as Laskhar-e-Tayyba's 2008 attack on Mumbai—actively supported." &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304911104576445862242908294.html?"&gt;The Wall Street Journal 16 July 2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="display: block;

But those few people who have actually read Obama's biographies know how Barack Obama truly feels about the white blood that courses through his veins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Only Malcolm X's autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; ... even as I imagined myself following Malcolm's call, one line in the book stayed me. He spoke of a wish he'd once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might somehow be expunged.&lt;/i&gt;” (&lt;u&gt;Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance&lt;/u&gt; by Barack Obama, page 86)&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-1570560903290340241?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/1570560903290340241/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=1570560903290340241' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/1570560903290340241'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/1570560903290340241'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-obama-really-thinks-of-his-irish.html' title='What Obama Really Thinks of His Irish Roots'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-697218596314947843</id><published>2011-05-22T13:12:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-23T19:33:27.772-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='israel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='netanyahu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack hussein obama'/><title type='text'>A Tale of Two Leaders</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lucianne.com/images/lucianne/DailyPhoto/2011-05-22-WOAJZ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="294" src="http://lucianne.com/images/lucianne/DailyPhoto/2011-05-22-WOAJZ.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;BiBi Netanyahu and Barry Soetoro in their early twenties&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

Although Bin Laden had immediately been buried at sea, photographs would soon be released to prove his heroic deed, promised CIA director Leon Panetta. He revealed that&amp;nbsp;the photos had been made to ensure the world that it was Bin Laden who had been killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the President of the United States soon overruled his CIA Director and others in his administration who had promised the same, and squelched the idea of photographs of Bin Laden being provided to the American people. In addition, Barack Obama mounted his High Horse and went on to Sixty Minutes to preach his morality lesson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;“We don’t trot out this stuff as trophies, ... we don’t need to spike the football. Given the graphic nature of the photo it would create a national security risk.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, there are good reasons for releasing or not releasing the photographs, most people would agree. However, President Obama sees his decision as the only clear-cut and moral call, and intolerant Liberal that he is, he implies that all who disagree with him and want to see the photographs, are ghoulish and un-American. Once again we puzzle at the great sensitivity Barack Obama shows for the Muslim World in not releasing pictures that might offend, while displaying no sensitivity to the beliefs of his fellow Americans. In fact, Obama sees Americans wanting such photographs released as motivated only by a desire to “&lt;i&gt;spike the football&lt;/i&gt;” and “&lt;i&gt;trot out trophies.&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After hearing the "Seventy-two Versions" of events provided by the Obama White House, Americans were not totally convinced that Osama Bin Laden had actually been taken out. They wanted further proof than words from the Obama White House and the Obama-controlled American media. Incredulously, who should come forth to verify Obama's claim but Al-Qaeda itself. Five days after President Barack Obama announced he had killed Osama bin Laden, but providing no tangible proof, comes forth Al-Qaeda verifying President Obama's claim that Osama bin Laden is indeed dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now America rests assured and finally believes that Bin Laden is dead. But is it not historic and troubling that the American people trust the words of Al-Qaeda over the words of its own President and American Media?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-2551645445078052450?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/2551645445078052450/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=2551645445078052450' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/2551645445078052450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/2551645445078052450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/05/spiking-football.html' title='Spiking the Football'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://members.cox.net/neddy/catface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-1180861913249580935</id><published>2011-05-07T10:09:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-07T12:37:08.471-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='osama bin laden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='operation geronimo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack hussein obama'/><title type='text'>A White House Coup?</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MZ6PdsvXP8k/TcVSH9AJ_1I/AAAAAAAAAM4/0YOl_l8HCRo/s1600/879590binladenobamawarroom_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MZ6PdsvXP8k/TcVSH9AJ_1I/AAAAAAAAAM4/0YOl_l8HCRo/s400/879590binladenobamawarroom_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Barack Obama - The SMALLEST Person in the War Room&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"JUST RELEASED PHOTO OF THE WHITE HOUSE “WAR ROOM” DURING THE OSAMA BIN LADEN ASSASSINATION OPERATION SHOWING A SEEMINGLY ANGRY BARACK OBAMA STILL WEARING HIS GOLF ATTIRE AND BILL DALEY, HILLARY CLINTON, AND ROBERT GATES ON OPPOSITE SIDE OF ROOM. THIS PHOTO APPEARS TO FURTHER SUPPORT THE DESCRIPTION OF THAT DAY’S EVENTS BY INSIDER… "&lt;/blockquote&gt;This photograph tells us everything we need to know about the mission to Kill Osama Bin Laden. President Obama, the smallest person in the room, dressed in golf clothing with a water bottle in hand, (just in from the golf links) looks mad as Hell. Why? Probably because he sees a success that was initiated by someone else - like Leon Panetta. The truth will eventually come out. It always does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A White House Insider claims &lt;a href="http://thesundowner.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/white-house-insider-obama-hesitated-%E2%80%93-panetta-issued-order-to-kill-osama-bin-laden/"&gt;"Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued The Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Top Secret Report: &lt;a href="http://thesundowner.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/top-secret-report-geronimo.pdf"&gt;JSOC/USSOCOM Operation "Geronimo"&lt;/a&gt; -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.16667px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;What Valerie Jarrett and Barack Obama did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a covert operation ground attack against Osama Bin Laden. Panetta had obviously decided it was too dangerous to leave that momentous decision to a dithering Commander-in-Chief and his closest political advisor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The following day, and with Panetta’s permission, Clinton met in private with Bill Daley and urged him to get the president’s full and open approval of the Panetta plan. Daley agreed such approval would be of great benefit to the action, and instructed Clinton to delay proceeding until he had secured that approval. Daley contacted Clinton within hours of their meeting indicating Jarrett refused to allow the president to give that approval. Daley then informed Clinton that he too would fully support Panetta in his actions, even if it meant disclosing the president’s indecision to the American public should that action fail to produce a successful conclusion. Clinton took that message back to Panetta and the CIA director initiated the 48 hour engagement order.

A private-sector labor dispute is a clash between management (shareholders) and unions (workers). In the public sector, the taxpayers (shareholders) are usually denied a seat at the table. Hence, collective bargaining in the public sector is less of a negotiation than a conspiracy to steal money from taxpayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, those who work in the public-sector are performing jobs that are essential to the well-being of society at large and the threat of their stopping work can be dangerous to society. No police today, as there is a strike. No school this week, as teachers are picketing. Unions may be necessary to protect private-sector workers from profit-centered management. Public-sector workers do not need protection from taxpayers and government. In fact, we the taxpayers need protection from public-sector unions and their followers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unions, most of whose members are public employees, gave Democrats some $400 million in the 2008 election cycle. &lt;b&gt;$400 MILLION!!!&lt;/b&gt; Where does the money come from? The money comes from taxpayers. Taxpayers provide every penny of dues paid to public employee unions. You cannot expect public-sector union members to pay their own dues, can you? They won't even pay their own health care or fund their own retirement plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We the taxpayers need to elect more leaders that will protect us from assault by Public-Service Unions; leaders like Ronald Reagan and Governor Scott Walker.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-8655922979565493212?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/8655922979565493212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=8655922979565493212' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/8655922979565493212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/8655922979565493212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/02/shakedown-taxpayers.html' title='Shakedown the Taxpayers'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-7071613615942239836</id><published>2011-02-10T10:01:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2011-02-10T10:10:03.923-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='msnbc'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='misogyny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chris matthews'/><title type='text'>Chris Matthews &amp; MSNBC Misogyny</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Is Chris Matthews a Misogynist and is MSNBC his enabler?&lt;/b&gt; The man cannot be on air for more than sixty seconds without mentioning the name Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman in one slur or another. &lt;i&gt;Misogyny is a mental disorder that requires therapy.

Instead, the press has almost entirely ignored Obama's ignorance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMAGINE Media Reaction -- If Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman had said such a thing, even though neither one of them is the leader of the Free World, as is Barack Obama.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-1427672622917231458?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/1427672622917231458/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=1427672622917231458' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/1427672622917231458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/1427672622917231458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/01/obama-confuses-iraq-war-with.html' title='Obama Confuses Iraq War with Afghanistan'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/etaCRMEFRy8/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-5864126427858702011</id><published>2011-01-18T09:37:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2011-01-18T10:07:09.300-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Americans Rewrite Their Own History</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neddy/5354913667/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img alt="Revolutionary War Image" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5010/5354913667_ed2965c211.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;President Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, was NOT impeached. It was seventeenth President Andrew JOHNSON, who was impeached. Only two US Presidents have ever been impeached: Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, and both were acquitted in the Senate. However, it is Revolutionary War soldier and War of 1812 hero, Andrew Jackson, who is now castigated as "impeached" and it cannot be corrected, as modern-day Americans have concluded that if President "&lt;i&gt;Old Hickory&lt;/i&gt;" Jackson was not impeached, he should have been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrew Jackson overcame an early life of adversity to triumph, becoming an American legend as both a warrior and a president. Although President Andrew Jackson was NEVER impeached, he was historically known for being:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The first president born in a log cabin.&lt;br /&gt;• The first president nominated by a political party.&lt;br /&gt;• The first president to ride on a railroad train.&lt;br /&gt;• The first president victimized by an assassination attempt.&lt;br /&gt;• The only president to have been a prisoner of war.&lt;br /&gt;• The last president who was a veteran of the Revolutonary War.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://patriots.wordpress.com/2006/08/05/andrew-jackson-in-lafayette-square/"&gt;More on President Andrew Jackson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: .9em; margin-top: 0;"&gt;The image, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neddy/5354913667/"&gt;Andrew Jackson&lt;/a&gt;, is subject to copyright by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/neddy/"&gt;Edna Barney&lt;/a&gt;.

Then when the wacko buys a gun and massacres other citizens of said Sheriff's community, the Sheriff immediately places the blame on Talk Radio, Rush Limbaugh, Republicans, Sarah Palin, all Conservatives and anyone else in opposition to the progressives' agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;They knew about this guy (Jared Lee Loughner).

The police department picked him up five times and let him go and nobody screened him for getting a weapon...&lt;/i&gt; -- Roger Ailes of Fox News.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik is far more guilty of contributing to the bloodshed, death and mayhem that occured on his watch, than anyone else in this country. Sheriff Clarence Dupnik deserves a nation's scorn for he was aware that 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner was mentally unstable, and feared by fellow Arizonans who had come in contact with him, yet Sheriff Dupnik did nothing to keep him from obtaining the firearm and ammunition necessary to assassinate political leaders and kill and maim innocent Arizonans including a nine-year-old child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what Sheriff Clarence Dupnip himself told Diane Sawyer of ABC News:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"I can tell you this is a somewhat dysfunctional family." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many have reported that Loughner behaved bizarrely in his community college classes, some even going to school officials in fear of their safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All I can tell you is that teachers and fellow students were concerned about his bizarre behavior in class to the point where some of him were physically afraid of him," Dupnik said. "He was acting in very weird fashion to the point where they had several incidents with him to the point where law enforcement at Pima College got involved and they decided to expel him. And they did."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dupnik maintains that it was Loughner's own demons, not his state's relatively lenient gun control laws, that caused the tragedy on Saturday. "He could have purchased this gun in any state. It's not just Arizona," said Dupnik, who owns a gun. "There are too many people who have temper problems who have troubled personalities. This isn't an unusual individual. There are hundreds just like him in our community."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/arizona-sheriff-blasts-rush-limbaugh-spewing-irresponsible-vitriol/story?id=12583285"&gt;Sheriff Clarence Dupnik Blasts Rush Limbaugh&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-4654323108458052363?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/4654323108458052363/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=4654323108458052363' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/4654323108458052363'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/4654323108458052363'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/01/sheriff-clarence-dupnik-deserves-blame.html' title='Sheriff Clarence Dupnik Deserves Blame'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-3645880848293244955</id><published>2011-01-09T12:29:00.026-05:00</published><updated>2011-01-18T17:41:49.409-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guns'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gun sights'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daily kos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giffords'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democrat hypocrisy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bullseye'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gabrielle giffords'/><title type='text'>Dems Targeting Republicans with Gun Sights</title><content type='html'>Once upon a time there was a man from Chicago running for President who explained to a Philadephia audience how he planned to vanquish his Republican opponents: “&lt;i&gt;If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;” Remember? That was in June 2008.

Long before Sarah Palin came on the national scene, Democrats, including the Democrat Leadership Council, were using ads with gun sights to target Republicans. The Media never said one word against them. &lt;a href="http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ci.cfm?contentid=253055&amp;amp;kaid=127&amp;amp;subid=171"&gt;DLC Gun Sights Ads Against Republican Candidates&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know it is hard to believe after all the outrage at big game hunter Sarah Palin's use of gun sights, but the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) website also used gun bullseyes to target Republicans they were planning to defeat. Afterwards, the leader of that same DCCC rushed on MSNBC to denounce Sarah Palin for doing what he had already done. It is too precious. &lt;a href="http://www.verumserum.com/?p=13647"&gt;DCCC Bullseye Map&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another example of Democrats using Gun Sights targeting their Republican opponents, this time J. D. Hayworth of Arizona:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=488424633171&amp;amp;set=a.48476273171.59889.568588171"&gt;Gun Sight Ad against Republicans&lt;/a&gt; (Facebook Link). Here is the YouTube version: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epdJWNA65oY"&gt;AZ Republic Endorses Harry Mitchell&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Democrats have even targeted Democrats with Gun Sights for not being Liberal enough. In fact, in June 2008, the Liberal blog Daily KOS put a bullseye on Representative Giffords herself, because she was a Blue Dog Democrat (Conservative). &lt;a href="http://hillbuzz.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/screen-shot-2011-01-08-at-3-05-33-pm.png"&gt;DAILY KOS Bullseye on Gabrielle Giffords&lt;/a&gt; Two days before the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords the "lovely" Daily KOS made a post about her entitled &lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=249273"&gt;DAILY KOS - "My CongressWOMAN voted against Nancy Pelosi! And is now DEAD to me!"&lt;/a&gt;. Immediately after the assassination attempt on Giffords' life, Daily KOS removed those posts from its site and began blaming Sarah Palin for the carnage in Arizona which was actually committed by a Leftist, anti-God pothead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;One veteran Democratic operative, who blames overheated rhetoric for the shooting, said President Barack Obama should carefully but forcefully do what his predecessor did. “&lt;i&gt;They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers,&lt;/i&gt;” said the Democrat. “&lt;i&gt;Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people.&lt;/i&gt;” Another Democratic strategist said the similarity is that Tucson and Oklahoma City both “&lt;i&gt;take place in a climate of bitter and virulent rhetoric against the government and Democrats.&lt;/i&gt;” &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/47294.html"&gt;Politico&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;If history is prologue, expect a big speech from Obama (State of the Union?). Five days after the April 1995 Oklahoma City bombings, Bill Clinton delivered a speech in Minneapolis blaming conservative commentators with “&lt;i&gt;loud and angry voices&lt;/i&gt;” who he said “&lt;i&gt;spread hate&lt;/i&gt;” and “&lt;i&gt;leave the impression ... by their very words, that violence is acceptable.&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;At the same time, Clinton political advisers privately embraced a ghoulish reality: The tragedy had been good for the president’s standing. Dick Morris, then Clinton’s top consultant, wrote the president a memo shortly after the bombing about how to maximize the advantage: “&lt;i&gt;A. Temporary gain: boost in ratings. B.

The average American family gets by on one-third of what they were taxed to provide to Robert Gibbs. The President who has proclaimed that no American should garner more than $200,000 in yearly pay, describes the government pay of his aide as "modest?" It is the Audacity of Obama, so get over it and tax the $200,000 rich, not the "relatively modest" $172,000 ordinary pay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In bidding a sort-of farewell to White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, he noted the "relatively modest pay" for which Gibbs has labored.&amp;nbsp;In fact, he earns $172,200 in a nation where the average family income hovers around $55,000, unemployment is high, record foreclosures persist and wages for most folks are at best stagnant. &lt;a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/01/no-pity-for-robert-gibbs-and-his-modest-salary/68943/"&gt;The Atlantic Monthly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;People who were once willing to work for the wages of political public servants, leave their elected or appointed positions behind and go off to demand $50,000 to $75,000 for a one-hour appearance regaling Americans with the anecdotes of what they had learned on the taxpayers' dime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the Clinton administration, Hillary's loyal friend Lanny Davis was brought in as an official aide to the President. From that so-called modest salary of three to four times what the average American family earns, Lanny Davis was able to enhance his family's income with gigs assisting unseemly clients like third-world strongmen, bringing in another $100,000-a-month. Another Clinton appointee, Rahm Emanuel, was rewarded with a $16 million fortune in just one year&amp;nbsp;after trading his government service position for "helping" the &amp;nbsp;private market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to be reminded now that we have a new crop of Tea Party legislators arriving in Washington of the following truism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;So it's natural to labor hard in government, see what goes on a few blocks away and feel entitled to same. People who came to town to change the world, and fight for the working guy, wind up thinking that a salary that would be a king's ransom to most of their constituents is chicken feed. It's partly because they inevitably contrast themselves not with others in government, or cushier locales in the nonprofit world, but with the mightiest denizens of corporate America. &lt;a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/01/no-pity-for-robert-gibbs-and-his-modest-salary/68943/"&gt;The Atlantic Monthly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-8998932565924915312?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/8998932565924915312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=8998932565924915312' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/8998932565924915312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/8998932565924915312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-can-we-respect-our-politiicans.html' title='How Can We Respect Our Politiicans?'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-6438893565822115518</id><published>2010-12-05T22:50:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-12-06T09:25:20.023-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslim'/><title type='text'>Why the World Believes Obama is Muslim</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;"&lt;i&gt;My father came from a Kenyan family that includes many generations of Muslims.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In both of Barack Obama's autobiographies he states precisely that both of his fathers were Muslim, and that he, himself, was considered born into the Muslim faith because of his fathers' religion. He also wrote about his mentor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who was an open practicing Muslim at one point. In addition, a disproportionate percentage of Obama's close friends are or were practicing Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After being elected President of the United States, Barack Obama went overseas and explained to the Muslim world that he was a Muslim and he did it by describing his Kenyan father and the generations before his father as all Muslims. That is why Muslims believe that he is of their faith and why many Americans do also.

In contrast, when Republicans engage in dishonest dealings, we will hear about it immediately and continually because the Media will revert to their Watchdog status.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-6161731229926130287?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/6161731229926130287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=6161731229926130287' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/6161731229926130287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/6161731229926130287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/09/media-watchdogs-and-lapdogs.html' title='Media Watchdogs and Lapdogs'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-4394249355447008935</id><published>2010-09-13T22:42:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-09-13T22:43:24.229-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ray stevens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god save arizona'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='arizona'/><title type='text'>God Save Arizona</title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="295" style="background-image: url(http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/jWpOcZVnBrc/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jWpOcZVnBrc?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jWpOcZVnBrc?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" width="480" height="295" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-4394249355447008935?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/4394249355447008935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=4394249355447008935' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/4394249355447008935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/4394249355447008935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/09/god-save-arizona_13.html' title='God Save Arizona'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-7016710989402404798</id><published>2010-09-13T21:27:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2010-09-13T22:14:05.693-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreams from my father'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack hussein obama'/><title type='text'>Obama - Implementing Dreams From His Father</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: #29303b;

A cloud of mystery surrounded the administration's returning of an official state gift back to the Brits, rather than finding a space for it somewhere in the people's house. Churchill was the half-American British leader who shared our struggle against evil during World War II, and was beloved by Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently reading Churchill's book on his military experiences in the Sudan, "The River War," I think I now understand why President Obama could not abide the sight of the Sir Winston bust. More than one hundred years before Muslim terrorists waged an horrific Attack on America, Winston Churchill wrote of his personal adventures with and thoughts about Mohammedanism. Churchill appreciated the longing for liberty among the inhabitants of Sudan, but was frustrated by the native defects in their government to protect its subjects' desires to be free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_River_War"&gt;Winston S.

The families of these heroes are now being labeled by America's media such as the New York Times and NBC as "&lt;i&gt;bigots&lt;/i&gt;" and "&lt;i&gt;Islamophobes&lt;/i&gt;" for objecting to the installation of a Victory Mosque on the grounds where their loved ones were viciously murdered. Even the President of the United States, Barack Obama, has lectured them and the nation that it is un-American to reject an Islamic mosque at the site. The Iman who is leading the construction of the Victory Mosque, Feisal Abdul Rauf, is a believer of Sharia law in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;We tend to forget ... the U.S. has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaida has ... of innocent non-Muslims.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;" --Feisal Abdul Rauf, 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has called for an investigation of those who are opposed to the building of the Ground Zero Mosque. &amp;nbsp;Her investigation would include the families of the 9/11 heroes who lost their lives in defense of America. Speaker Pelosi told San Francisco's KCBS radio: "&lt;em&gt;There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how ... this opposition to the mosque is being funded. How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about ...&lt;/em&gt;" However, calls to investigate the funding of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauffor and his $100 million Cordoba House Victory Monument have fallen upon deaf ears, as New York's Mayor Bloomberg has described such requests as "&lt;i&gt;un-American&lt;/i&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/08/is-it-bigotry-to-oppose-bigots.html"&gt;Is It Bigotry to Oppose Bigots?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;The image, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neddy/3942664589/"&gt;New York City&lt;/a&gt;, is subject to copyright by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/neddy/"&gt;Edna Barney&lt;/a&gt;.

Fast forward a few years and we find the New York Times most favored Muslim, Anwar Al-Awlaki, had been the theological mentor to two of the 9/11 hijackers, to Nidal Malik Hassan, the murderer of the Fort Hood soldiers, to the Christmas Day 2009 bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, and to the Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad. How about getting it wrong New York Times? Any apology to the American people for your terrible advice?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 9 December 2004, NBC Newsman Brian Williams was gushing about "&lt;i&gt;the TV industry's newest experiment, 'Bridges TV,' the new 'American-Muslim lifestyle network,'&lt;/i&gt;" the brainchild of   banker Muzzamil Hassan and his wife to portray positve images of Muslims. Brian Williams even broadcast the domestic bliss of their Muslim home. That certainly ended when Mr. Hassan beheaded Mrs. Hassan when she filed for divorce, and then claimed he was justified because of his wife's unlawful behavior towards him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1993, an earlier controversy erupted when residents opposed a mosque in a suburb of Washington, D.C. They wanted it shut down claiming they were subjected to rude behavior and ill will from the Mosque attendees. "&lt;i&gt;Worshipers of many faiths said closing the popular mosque . . . would amount to discrimination against one of the area's fastest growing religions&lt;/i&gt;". That mosque was Dar al-Hijra, now known as the "&lt;i&gt;9/11 mosque&lt;/i&gt;," for its role in the murders of thousands of innocent Americans on American soil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 4 August 2010, the Boston Globe editorial proclaimed: "&lt;i&gt;The simple fact is there's nothing threatening about the proposed Islamic center, which is being spearheaded by Feisal Abdul Rauf, one of the most respected moderate Muslim leaders in the country.&lt;/i&gt;" &lt;b&gt;Are you still going to listen to America's Media when they call you bigots?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704868604575433214247852860.html?mod=googlenews_wsj#"&gt;Our 'Moderate Muslim' Problem&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FLASHBACK to a Muslim Victory Celebration One Year Ago: Mass Murderer Al-Megrahi was convicted in 2001, to serve 27 years in prison for the 1988 bombing of 272 souls, mostly Americans, over Lockerbie, Scotland. Last year the Scottish government freed him early on compassionate grounds as he was said to suffering from cancer.

Why, yes, we are indeed.&lt;/i&gt;”&amp;nbsp;Hawaii Muslims began by choosing to celebrate the founding of Islam and coerced a proclamation for November 22nd. Then they decided they would rather celebrate the day their Prophet Mohammad migrated to Madinah on September 24th of the "Gregorian" calendar. Read on to understand why Muslims were comparing the Gregorian and archaic Julian calendars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Islam Day in Hawaii - September 24, 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;State of Hawaii House Concurrent Resolution 100 HD 1 proclaims September 24, 2009 as Islam Day in Hawaii. The first version of the proclamation declared November 21, 2009 as Islam Day in Hawaii because that date is considered by some to be the anniversary of the founding of Islam. The date of Muslim Day in Hawaii was changed to September 24, 2009 after the Muslim Association of Hawaii noted that the Prophet Mohammad migrated to Madinah on September 24th of the Gregorian calendar, so that is a better date to mark the birth of Islam. (&lt;a href="http://www.hawaiiforvisitors.com/about/islam.htm"&gt;Hawaii for &amp;nbsp;Visitors&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hawaii has no Christianity Day, no Judaism Day, and no Buddhism Day — but in 2009, Hawaii’s Senate passed the resolution to create Islam Day with a 22-3 vote.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Islam Day to be “&lt;i&gt;November 21, 2009, marks the anniversary of the founding of Islam….&lt;/i&gt;” But that was soon amended to HCR100HD1 which intones, “&lt;i&gt;the Prophet Mohammad left his house to migrate to Madinah and reached Quba in the vicinity of Madinah on the 12th day of Rabi ul-Awwal according to the lunar calendar, or September 24th according to the Gregorian calendar, thereby marking the birth of Islam….&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is false. September 24th is the date of Mohammad’s arrival in Medina according to the old Julian calendar—which is 13 days behind the modern Gregorian calendar. The fact that “&lt;i&gt;Gregorian&lt;/i&gt;” is mentioned in the resolution implies that somebody was considering the two calendars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had the Hawaii legislature intended to mark the Julian date September 24 they would have picked the Gregorian date October 7, 2009 for Islam Day. Had they wished to mark the date celebrated each year by Muslims, that would have been the “1&lt;i&gt;2th day of Rabi ul-Awwal&lt;/i&gt;”— March 9, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But instead they picked the modern Gregorian date September 24, 2009. This day corresponds to no holiday in the Islamic calendar.  But on the Julian calendar it is September 11, 2009. &lt;a href="http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/10972"&gt;Canada Free Press&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately after the passage of the bill creating Hawaii's Islam Day, Muslim web sites across the Internet began celebrating the victory, while laughing at  the Kufr (Muslim derogatory term for non-Muslims).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Islamists—including the webmaster of the Hawaii “&lt;i&gt;Islamic Information Office&lt;/i&gt;” (IIO) website are on line celebrating the Hawaii Legislature’s vote to designate September 24 as &lt;i&gt;“Islam Day.&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;i&gt;City of Brass&lt;/i&gt;" blogger Aziz Poonawalla of Madison, Wisconsin May 19 writes: “&lt;i&gt;Naturally, there are some (conservative, Republican) people who see this as dhimmitude incarnate. This fellow for example warns starkly of burkas and bikinis (maybe he should read my essay...) and intones seriously, "the muslims are laughing". Why, yes, we are indeed.&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first commenter on Poonawalla’s blog post identifies himself as Hawaii IIO webmaster Abdul Rashid Abdullah.

It has been gathering converts since the end of the French Revolution or the American Civil War. Its hold on its adherents is as strong as the hold Christianity, Judaism, Islam have upon their believers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leftists consider themselves more erudite, progressive, educated than those superstitious masses strung out on the opiates of Jesus, God, sacred texts. Just as the Church of Leftism is the most dynamic of all world religions, it is also the most intolerant. It derides and lampoons those old-fashioned religions of yesteryear. The Leftist faithful publicly label any who disagree with their Leftist creed and beliefs as Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, Xenophobic, Islamophobic, Ignorant, Bigoted, Intolerant, Mean-Spirited, Primitive, Hateful, Anti-Choice, Anti-green polluters, etcetera. For example, think back to how many times Leftist politicians in America have accused their non-Leftist counterparts as colluding to starve children, abuse women, mistreat the poor, pollute drinking water, destroy the environment and so on. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus rarely if ever slam their fellow world faiths with such unbelievably cruel slurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2010/03/30/where_do_jews_and_christians_on_the_left_get_their_values/page/full"&gt;Where Do Leftists Get Their Values?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-1724083305479394041?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/1724083305479394041/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=1724083305479394041' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/1724083305479394041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/1724083305479394041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/08/worlds-most-dynamic-religion-leftism.html' title='The World&apos;s Most Dynamic Religion - Leftism'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-3351972335446043831</id><published>2010-08-09T09:27:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-09T09:31:54.812-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flotus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='michelle obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='michelle antoinette'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack obama'/><title type='text'>Michelle Antoinette Obama</title><content type='html'>News Flash!

Barack Obama himself wrote about the connections in his two autobiographies, and news reports were readily available of a United States Senator campaigning for six days in Kenya for a self-proclaimed Communist and supporter of Sharia Law against Kenya's pro-American candidate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama’s father was a Kenyan Muslim and a communist. He was a member of the Luo tribe, whose leader, Jaramongi Oginga Odinga, was a raging communist who bitterly opposed the pro-Western, pro-American Kenyatta government. Obama’s father wrote a paper – which the press in this country refused to report about during the 2008 election – that was called “Problems Facing Our Socialism.” The paper was a communist (or “scientific socialism”) critique of Kenyatta’s economic policies, placing Obama Sr. firmly in the Odinga camp. In many ways, Pres. Obama seems ambivalent about the father he hardly knew, but he has effusively praised Obama Sr.’s academic accomplishments in economics and what he euphemistically calls the “promise” his father had to fulfill to Africa. That “promise” was Marxism – that was Obama Sr.’s ideology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Odinga’s son, Raila Odinga, is a committed communist – so much so that he named one of his sons after Fidel Castro. ... Odinga was also complicit in a plot to overthrow Daniel arap Moi, Kenyatta’s pro-American successor, in a violent coup in 1982 – for which he spent eight years in prison. In the insidious world of African politics, this did not disqualify him for future advancement. Odinga became energy minister in 2001, which enabled him to strike very lucrative personal arrangements with Colonel Gaddafi in Libya and with Sheikh Abdukeder al-Bakari of the Al Bakari oil dynasty in Saudi Arabia. By the way, al-Bakari’s name appears on the “golden chain” list of wealthy donors to Osama bin Laden during the Afghan mujahideen’s jihad against the Soviets. (The list was seized from an al Qaeda safehouse during a 2002 raid in Sarajevo.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notwithstanding this history, when Raila Odinga decided to run for president in 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama – who did very little in America during his brief stint in the senate – spent six days in Kenya campaigning for and with Odinga. During their barnstorming, Obama lambasted the incumbent, pro-American government as corrupt and in need of … wait for it … Change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It later emerged that Odinga had made a deal with Kenya’s Islamist faction (a turbulent minority) to impose sharia law and Islamic courts if he won the election. He lost the election and (surprise!) the Islamists revolted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This plunged Kenya into chaos, with thousands displaced and many killed. Odinga capitalized on the violence, and on his close relationship with Obama, to extort the Kenyan government into creating a powerful position for him: prime minister, an office no one had held in Kenya since Kenyatta occupied it in the brief transitional phase before he became president of the new republic.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the above posting Andrew McCarthy reminds us of how the voters of 2008 threw caution to the wind and willingly endangered the security of their own nation in "The Grand Jihad," the story of how Islam and the American Left are destroying America.

Obama believes that America is a fatally flawed nation because it built its success upon the colonial exploitation of enslaved black peoples. In Elkhart, Indiana, on 6 August 2008, a 7-year-old girl asked Senator Barack Obama why he wanted to be president. This was his answer: "&lt;i&gt;America is – is no longer, uh, what it could be – what it, it once was. And I say to myself, I don't want that future for my children.&lt;/i&gt;" Obama has arrived in this time to deliver the required historic justice to America, which is similar to Adolf Hitler's historic ideology for Germany prior to World War Two. Hitler's goal was to provide the justice due for the German people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;The economic aspect of racial historic justice requires a redistribution of wealth through subverting the present government from within using  taxation, Unions, industry, banks, and Presidential executive powers to redistribute America's wealth to racial and ethnic minorities. Providing government services to ALL of the people of the nation comes secondary. Obama's snubbing of our most valued international ally, Great Britain, results from his view of that nation as an historic colonial power who exploited the "black man" in not only America, but more importantly, in his father's native land of Kenya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Obama is a Nationalist Socialist which translates into -- FASCIST.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama comes from the land of Saul Alinsky's political thuggery - Chicago.&amp;nbsp; He believes that the Black elitists he associates with are racially and biologically superior to Whites in every  way. Both he and his wife have distain and contempt for traditional American values evidenced  long before the election by their close association with Reverend Jeremiah Wright's Black Liberation Theology. Obama's conduct in office on racial and ethnic issues such as his condemnation of the Boston police, the New  Black Panther party prosecution, his refusal to secure our Southern  Border, and his prolonged conflict with Arizona's attempts to control illegal aliens within its confines show exactly where his priorities lie in governing America.  As Senator, Obama travelled to Kenya to campaign for the presidential candidacy of Raila Odinga, a Communist who supported Islamists and the expansive imposition of sharia law in Kenya. Just today, Barack Obama showed his passion when al Qaeda targeted Black Africans in the recent Uganda bombings, calling them RACIST for the murders. In contrast, when an American, Nidal Hasan, with known ties to Islamic terrorists, shot up a group of American soldiers on American soil at Fort Hood, President Barack Obama show no such passion against terrorism and in fact declared Hasan to be but a lone wolf killer with no links to Islam. What a difference the color of one's skin makes in the Obama world of Black Nationalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: small;"&gt;I think of Obama's  liberal fascism as a cancer that attempts to kill the two birds of  American exceptionalism with one stone. It is a deviously appealing Third Way that in the end, if allowed to triumph completely, kills both individual liberty and Judeo/Christian religion with its single stone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: small;"&gt;And, indeed this was the precise  goal of Adolph Hitler.&amp;nbsp; Unlike the outspoken hatred of private property  and religion espoused by communists under Lenin and Stalin, Hitler preferred the more moderate-seeming incremental takeover of private enterprise in the interest of the "common good," and the slow-death of  Judeo/Christian religion by chipping away at it and replacing the  people's dependence upon God gradually with reliance on the state  (Hitler). ~~"Barack Obama, the Quintessential Liberal Fascist" by Kyle-Anne Shiver, May 2009: &lt;a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The above post was inspired by a comment at the Washington Post online by  someone named "&lt;i&gt;Candor7, July 14, 2010.&lt;/i&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/10949814-3838190958769889578?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/3838190958769889578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=3838190958769889578' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/3838190958769889578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/3838190958769889578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-is-national-socialist.html' title='What Is A National Socialist?'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-4809328340146570879</id><published>2010-07-13T20:28:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-09-13T15:29:52.674-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='msnbc'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='racists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='racism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tea party'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chris matthews'/><title type='text'>Chris Matthews Hurls Hateful Epithets on MSNBC</title><content type='html'>DANGEROUS &amp;amp; INCENDIARY EPITHETS FROM MSNBC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jonathan Swift invented the word "&lt;i&gt;Yahoo&lt;/i&gt;" for the non-humans in his novel &lt;i&gt;"Gulliver's Travels&lt;/i&gt;."

Bush. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the 2008 Election the following business leaders of America encouraged voters to support their man, Barack Obama. They knew well that Obama's spiritual advisor of twenty-five years, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, was a Marxist who preached Liberation Theology. Listen to what these business leaders are now saying about their most favored candidate ever, and you will realize why the economy of this nation is in such terrible shape. It cannot be the fault of Barack Obama, it cannot be the fault of those business leaders who put him into office, so it has got to be the fault of President George W. Bush. &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/dailybeast/8874_aspenideasfestivalobamalosessupportofnationselite"&gt;What Obama's Most Prestigious Supporters Think&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of the State of the Nation, July 2010:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;The real problem we have are some of the worst economic policies in place today that, in my judgment, go directly against the long-term interests of this country.&amp;nbsp;We are, without question, in a period of decline, particularly in the business world. The real problem we have … are some of the worst economic policies in place today that, in my judgment, go directly against the long-term interests of this country."&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;~~Mort Zuckerman who added&amp;nbsp;that he detects “&lt;i&gt;hostility to the very kinds of [business] culture that have made this the great country that it is and was. I think we have to find some way of dealing with that or else we will do great damage to this country with a public policy that could ruin everything.&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;If you’re asking if the United States is about to become a socialist state, I’d say it’s actually about to become a European state, with the expansiveness of the welfare system and the progressive tax system like what we’ve already experienced in Western Europe.&amp;nbsp;The curse of longterm unemployment is that if you pay people to do nothing, they’ll find themselves doing nothing for very long periods of time. Long-term unemployment is at an all-time high in the United States, and it is a direct consequence of a misconceived public policy.&amp;nbsp;The critical point is if your policy says you’re going run a trillion-dollar deficit for the rest of time, you’re riding for a fall … Then it really is goodbye.&amp;nbsp;I can’t emphasize strongly enough the need for radical fiscal reform to restore the incentives for work and remove the incentives for idleness.&amp;nbsp;Do you want to be a kind of implicit part of the European Union? I’d advise you against it.&lt;/i&gt;” ~~Harvard business and history professor Niall Ferguson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;From an industry standpoint, it’s below what a lot of people in industry have viewed as the solution to the jobs problem. When I talk to venture capitalists, their companies are starting to move their manufacturing operations out of the United States … Our corporate tax rate, on a worldwide competitive basis, is just not competitive. Taiwan is lowering their rate to 20 to 15 percent in order to stay competitive with Singapore. These countries have made it their job to attract industry. You don’t get that sense here in the United States.&lt;/i&gt;” ~~Silicon Valley guru Michael Splinter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;He said jobs were going to be his No. 1 priority—there’s a huge disconnect between Washington and what’s going on out in the country.” The president’s economic team kept talking about a ‘cyclical’ problem. Larry Summers said jobs were a lagging economic indicator. All these things are simply wrong. The president put all his trust in the wrong economic team—an economic team that didn’t understand what was happening.&lt;/i&gt;” ~~Arianna Huffington&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;By reaching into virtually every sector of economic life, government is injecting uncertainty into the marketplace and making it harder to raise capital and create new businesses.&lt;/i&gt;” ~~Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of Barack Obama, “&lt;i&gt;business did not like the U.S. president and the president did not like business.&lt;/i&gt;” ~~Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman, CEO of General Electric (&lt;a href="http://blog.heritage.org/2010/07/09/morning-bell-anti-business-obama/"&gt;The Anti-Business Obama&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-4981012312035957334?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/4981012312035957334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=4981012312035957334' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/4981012312035957334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/4981012312035957334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/07/still-blaming-bush-after-all-these.html' title='Still Blaming Bush After All These Months'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-2331281232660189125</id><published>2010-06-15T10:39:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-15T10:59:08.775-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil spill'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gulf coast'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bushwacker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack obama'/><title type='text'>The Obama "Suck It Up"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/slideshow/photo//100614/480/urn_publicid_ap_org_b46f4efd32b7448f9d622aaa3a9917b6/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="254" src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100614/capt.b46f4efd32b7448f9d622aaa3a9917b6-b46f4efd32b7448f9d622aaa3a9917b6-0.jpg?x=400&amp;amp;y=318&amp;amp;q=85&amp;amp;sig=QmUT3LJ4_NHCADSuvNM8sA--" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;'&lt;b&gt;I can't suck it up with a straw&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;/i&gt;' President Obama said of Gulf oil spill - &lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/can_suck_gulf_oil_with_straw_president_tFrmodpGRn8TdRBpGe2kYJ"&gt;New York Post&lt;/a&gt;.

Later Obama clarified that he was in fact speaking of an uncle. But which uncle? His American mother had no brothers. To be magnanimous, one could posit that Candidate Obama was confused and actually was speaking of his White grandfather who raised him and who indeed served during World War Two. However, Barack Obama  wrote an entire book about his Kenyan-born father Barack Obama, Senior ("Dreams From My Father"), but wrote nothing of substance about his mother and grandparents who in fact raised him, so it is doubtful he would have misspoke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, Candidate Obama, speaking from the pulpit of an historic black church in Selma, Alabama, told the heart-warming story of his parents meeting: &lt;i&gt;"There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and  Barack Obama Junior was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama."&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2007/03/obamas_selma_speech_text_as_de.html"&gt;Obama's Selma "It's All About Me" Speech&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is just a bit of trivia that no one cares about, but ... in case you didn't notice, the Edmund Pettis Bridge incident Barack Obama was referencing occurred four years after President Obama's birth on August 4, 1961. By 1965, President Obama's polygamous Kenyan father, Barack Obama Senior, had already divorced (March 20, 1964) the President's American mother and taken up with another American woman.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-7952272896773808328?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/7952272896773808328/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=7952272896773808328' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/7952272896773808328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/7952272896773808328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/06/little-white-obama-lies.html' title='Little White Obama Lies'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-307270473784965272</id><published>2010-06-13T09:49:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-13T12:19:31.314-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='winston churchill'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alien'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='churchill'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack obama'/><title type='text'>The Alien in the White House</title><content type='html'>"&lt;b&gt;We wanted something thoroughly and uncompromisingly foreign ... &lt;/b&gt;" wrote Mark Twain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"&lt;i&gt;We wanted something thoroughly and uncompromisingly foreign — foreign from top to bottom — foreign from centre to circumference — foreign inside and outside and all around — nothing any where about it to dilute its foreignness — nothing to remind us of any other people or any other land under the sun.

The bust of Winston Churchill was a gift to the American people from Tony Blair. Barack Obama mysteriously sent it packing - back off to the Britain from when it came. It would seem that Barack Obama would have found kinship with the British leader who was half American on his mother's side, as was Obama also. The Winston Churchill of history admired America and shared America's values. To Barack Obama, Winston Churchill's American-British heritage was alien, and he banished the great leader from the American people's house with no second thoughts raised in his conscience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American people elected an Alien to serve as the leader of their nation. Obama lives in the White House but his focus is not upon the nation that elected him. Instead, he views himself as a leader of the world community from which he originates, not America, where he ended up. Perhaps Americans will learn a lesson - always elect a Homeboy (or Home Gal) as your leader. Elect someone who grew up amongst you and understands your distinct American values, not a mysterious figure who suddenly appears on the scene proclaiming himself to be "The First African-American" this and that. I thought Bill Clinton had already been awarded title to being the First African-American President anyway, by African-Americans themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A great part of America now understands that this president's sense of identification lies elsewhere, and is in profound ways unlike theirs. He is hard put to sound convincingly like the leader of the nation, because he is, at heart and by instinct, the voice mainly of his ideological class. He is the alien in the White House, a matter having nothing to do with delusions about his birthplace cherished by the demented fringe. &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703302604575294231631318728.html"&gt;The Alien in the White House&lt;/a&gt; by Dorothy Rabinowitz&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-307270473784965272?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/307270473784965272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=307270473784965272' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/307270473784965272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/307270473784965272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/06/alien-in-white-house.html' title='The Alien in the White House'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-5450975541396138571</id><published>2010-06-10T13:51:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-15T08:44:32.004-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='military'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christopher hitchens'/><title type='text'>Hitchens Unhitched</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=neddsnookonth-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=0446540331&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;"&lt;i&gt;To be honest, the most idealistic and brave and committed and intelligent young people I know have joined the armed forces and they're now guarding us while we sleep in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere.

He was then showing his anger over the Vietnam War by throwing brickbats from the political left, and accusing the United States of nuclear proliferation, racism and "oligarchy," including capitalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Communism, Marxism and all the other Isms that were the scourge of the last century espoused creeds that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of humans. The spirits and dreams of at least that many more men, women and children were crushed and destroyed by the jack-booted thuggery of the followers of the Isms. During the Vietnam era, while some Americans were putting their lives on the line to save their fellow humans, Christopher Hitchens and his ilk chose to ridicule and diminish the selflessness of those who took a stand against human enslavement. Somehow, under the leadership of a true Cold Warrior, Ronald Reagan, we who fought against Communism won that battle. Afterwards, we discovered that the Communists of the twentieth century made the Nazis (six million jews murdered) look like pikers, as the followers of Lenin and Marx did not limit their victims to Jews, but destroyed every race, religion, belief, that sought freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, under the leadership of Ronald Reagan, we thought we ran the Communists out of the Free World. We were wrong and unprepared for what happened next. While Americans were captivated by the sordid details of a Presidential blue dress, jumping up and down with joy at the election of the first black President, the Communists returned with a vengeance. They took over the universities, the minds of the dumbed-down electorate, and now the government whilst the aging Freedom Fighters were inattentive. VOILA -- We are all Communists now. But ... careful, don't say the forbidden word "Communism," as you will be horrifically ridiculed, à la the Saul Alinsky playbook.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-5450975541396138571?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/5450975541396138571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=5450975541396138571' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/5450975541396138571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/5450975541396138571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/06/hitchens-unhitched.html' title='Hitchens Unhitched'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-5151252827528245627</id><published>2010-05-31T23:56:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-01T00:00:03.373-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illegal immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='arizona'/><title type='text'>The Arizona Solution</title><content type='html'>Arizona should take a page from the Book of Rahm Emanuel.

You know, like the Fourteenth Amendment and the clause defining requirements for the President of the United States to be a "&lt;i&gt;natural born&lt;/i&gt;" citizen? When Obama runs for President again in 2012, he faces a new hurdle. The state of Arizona will demand he show his birth certificate before it allows his name on the ballot. &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hmY0QbztBYUfvaCiGkFPJ-enKz_wD9F8COKO0"&gt;Arizona to Candidates - Prove Your Citizenship&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And matters worsen for poor beleaguered Obama as other uppity states are following Arizona's lead. No wonder Barack Obama and the Obamabots really, REALLY hate, hate, hate all those "N&lt;i&gt;atural Born&lt;/i&gt;" citizens of Arizona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-37620-Conservative-Examiner~y2010m4d24-Obama-eligibility-a-birth-certificate-alone-does-not-prove-natural-born-citizenship"&gt;Obama eligibility: a birth certificate alone does not prove 'natural born' citizenship&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone who reads the U.S. Constitution knows that a certificate of a United States birth alone does not prove '&lt;i&gt;natural born&lt;/i&gt;' citizenship. However, according to Democrats, Obama's Birth Certificate does just that.&amp;nbsp;The Obama campaign released a statement from "Hawaiian officials" who personally verified that they saw the original Obama birth certificate and even went further --"&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, ... verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you have it America. Hawaii officially certifies Barack Obama as a "&lt;i&gt;natural-born&lt;/i&gt;" citizen, and it has the "original" birth certificate to prove it.&amp;nbsp;So citizens of Arizona ask, why cannot we see it for ourselves? Well, funny you should ask. Unfortunately ... Hawaii law prevents Hawaiian officials from releasing Obama's "original" birth certificate to you, the masses.&amp;nbsp;So sad. So ... NA NA NA NA NA NA!&amp;nbsp;What they don't tell is that there is no prohibition against the President himself obtaining a copy and releasing it to America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama supporters twist logic into knots as they justify reasons for Barack Obama's decision not to show America his original birth certificate. The usual one is to quote State Department regulations on citizenship. Some whip out an old moldering birth announcement published in a Hawaiian newspaper at the time. A birth announcement qualifies one for the U.S. Presidency? None of Obama's apologists ever mentions the U.S. Constitutional requirements for President, except to remind you that Senator John McCain was so NOT a "&lt;i&gt;natural born citizen&lt;/i&gt;" that the Congress passed special legislation for him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. of A. is supposedly governed by a Constitution which spells out qualifications for the President. It is not what you think, or I think, or the polls say, or state-run media MSNBC and Chris Matthews' slander of Americans as "Birthers," it is a matter of law. The Constitution is a simply written, concise document, not 2400 pages of ObamaCare legalese, which you can find on the Internet: "&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key phrase is "&lt;i&gt;natural born citizen&lt;/i&gt;" because Obama certainly was NOT "&lt;i&gt;a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution...&lt;/i&gt;" None of the Founding Fathers who were our first Presidents was born in the U.S.A. but they qualified as citizens and served as Presidents. They were exempted from being "&lt;i&gt;natural born citizens&lt;/i&gt;." Obama is not exempted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being born in Hawaii does not make a person a "natural born Citizen." Having one parent who is a "&lt;i&gt;natural born citizen&lt;/i&gt;" as obviously was the mother of Obama, does not qualify one as &lt;i&gt;"natural born." &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The legal problem is not the birthplace of Obama which seems to be the U.S., but that Obama's father was foreign-born and a British Citizen at the time of his son's birth. This fact is what calls into question the "&lt;i&gt;natural born&lt;/i&gt;" status of President Obama. And guess where this fact originated? From crazy Birthers you scream? No! It was Obama himself who told us so in his books about his father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That he was sworn into office by the Supreme Court suggests they were probably unconcerned. But the Founding Fathers certainly were concerned about handing over the Presidency to a person of questionable loyalties. They feared someone who had been a citizen of another land, (Obama was born with dual citizenship) or had been influenced in childhood by foreign-born parents, or had grown up in other  lands (Indonesia), speaking foreign tongues. Such a person would not truly understand American history and culture, would be oblivious to American Exceptionalism, would bow before foreign potentates and apologize to the world for the sins of America. The Founders were correct in their thinking, weren't they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://kerfuffles.blogsome.com/2008/12/07/obama-a-natural-born-citizen/"&gt;Is Obama a "Natural Born" Citizen?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What exactly is the meaning of the phrase&amp;nbsp;"&lt;i&gt;natural born citizen&lt;/i&gt;"&amp;nbsp;that establishes the eligibility for the office of President of the United States? &amp;nbsp;"&lt;i&gt;Natural born citizen&lt;/i&gt;" means anyone born on American soil whose parents are citizens of the United States.

That is understandable, for the Feds and President Barack Obama were preoccupied bashing the state of Arizona and Wall Street's Goldman Saks. NINE DAYS after the oil rig exploded, the Obama Administration finally decided to try and take charge of the situation.   An awful lot of oil was pumped into the Gulf of Mexico during those nine days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOT TO WORRY. &lt;a href="http://alobama.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/melrose-avenue-in-la/"&gt;Super Obamaman&lt;/a&gt; to the Rescue. At 4:37 pm this afternoon,  President Obama strolled into the Rose Garden of the White House and promptly blamed BP for everything and promised that "&lt;i&gt;under the law&lt;/i&gt;" he will see that BP be responsible for the clean-up operation.  Man, It's a good thing George Bush is not the President in charge of this Man-made Disaster, or we would really have a big mess on our hands. Thank God for Barack Obama, it is all in his hands now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama never mentioned that he recently announced plans to open large swaths of the U.S. coast to offshore deep-well oil exploration. But he did say "&lt;i&gt;Let me be clear: I continue to believe that domestic oil production is an important part of our overall strategy for energy security.&lt;/i&gt;" Oh, thank goodness, but too bad he won't allow drilling in Alaska where there is more oil and the means of obtaining it are easier and less dangerous to the environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But President Obama did explain why he was AWOL from the Gulf Coast for ten days. It was a big misunderstanding. For nine days his staff suggested that he check out the happenings on the "Gulf." So for nine days straight, Obama headed out to play another nine holes of "GOLF."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bye, Bye Miss American Pie, Drove my Government Motors Chevy to the Levee and the Levee was gone.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-5338679908856206483?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/5338679908856206483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=5338679908856206483' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/5338679908856206483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/5338679908856206483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/04/americas-greatest-environmental.html' title='America&apos;s Greatest Environmental Disaster'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://members.cox.net/neddy/catface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-8451342332857640063</id><published>2010-04-30T07:37:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-30T22:47:45.751-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='insanity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illegal immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illegals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><title type='text'>Wishing for a Constitution</title><content type='html'>Has our nation driven itself insane? This new Arizona Immigration Law makes a normal person question the sanity and logic of the people who govern us.

Then this same American president and his supporters along with the power of the same Federal Government turn around and cry FOUL, &lt;i&gt;"Horrible Civil Rights Violations,"&lt;/i&gt; when a State Government asks residents to show an ID card.

As they began singing the Star Spangled Banner, they were marched upon by Quincy, Illinois police dressed in riot gear. Many of these Tea Party people were older grandmothers and the police were undoubtedly sent there to intimidate them. It was a heartbreaking sight to see in our America - a line of Gestapo-looking police facing down peaceably assembled families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the event, the Quincy Police Department reported the Tea Party people as disorderly and willfully disobeying commands from the police. That police report was obviously not true, unless the police consider anti-Obama speech as disorderly conduct. Everything was captured on video by various participants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is serious and dangerous stuff. The role of the police in America is supposed to "protect" the people. This was an attempt by government to separate citizens from the police, to make the people fear the power of government. The police officers involved were abusing their power, and in the long run they were harming themselves, for the people will no longer respect their leadership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/04/oops-quincy-pd-releases-bogus-statement-lashes-out-at-violent-granma-protesters-forgets-about-army-of-videographers/"&gt;Quincy, Illinois Police Department turns Gestapo against Tea Parties&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/04/obama-swat-teams-ordered-to-rooftops-to-quash-radical-tea-party-protest/"&gt;Obama's Sniper Team Manning the Rooftops&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, at the same time that Quincy, Illinois ordered their Riot Police to stand down a gaggle of Tea Party grandmothers, there are sons and daughters of America risking lives and limbs in a foreign land to keep us free. Many of these soldiers have family members who are Tea Party supporters. If we are no longer free, what are our military forces fighting for?

In 1950, on the playground of my grammar school in Baltimore we had to choose sides. "&lt;em&gt;Are you a Reb, or a (spit, groan) Yankee?&lt;/em&gt;" I now live in Northern Virginia where one cannot drive ten miles without passing through a once bloody battlefield. "&lt;i&gt;Are you a Reb or a Yankee&lt;/i&gt;" has become "&lt;em&gt;Are you a right-wing conservative Nazi, or a loving, compassionate (spit, groan) Commie Lib?&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last Friday the state of Arizona passed a law requiring local police to report undocumented workers (illegal aliens) to the Federal government. Although much of the Arizona law was crafted word for word from Federal law governing immigration, it is being condemned by other states as unconstitutional and racist. The people of Arizona support the law saying it is needed to curb crime in the border state, which is a key corridor for the smuggling of illegal drugs and humans from Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/A-carefully-crafted-immigration-law-in-Arizona-92136104.html"&gt;"A Carefully Crafted Immigration Law in Arizona" by Byron York&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minnesota is one state in opposition to Arizona's act and is contemplating shunning the desert state. The mayor of the city of Saint Paul, Minnesota has already banned publicly funded travel to Arizona. The state law set a "&lt;em&gt;dangerous example to the rest of the country by creating a culture that made racial profiling acceptable&lt;/em&gt;," he said. A number of cities in the bankrupt state of California are threatening boycotts against Arizona for vowing to enforce the law. California's San Francisco has practically cut off diplomatic relations with Arizona, as Mayor Gavin Newsom announced a moratorium on all official city travel to anywhere in Arizona. Los Angeles is planning a boycott, its Catholic Cardinal Roger Mahony wrote that  Arizonans are "&lt;i&gt;reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation.&lt;/i&gt;" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While other states are planning severe punishment for Arizona, Georgia and Texas and other State Legislatures across America are planning to propose similar state immigration enforcement laws. A Texas lawmaker plans to introduce a tough immigration measure similar to the new law in Arizona. Rep. Debbie Riddle of Tomball said she will push for the law in the January legislative session, according to Wednesday's editions of the San Antonio Express-News and Houston Chronicle. &lt;em&gt;"The first priority for any elected official is to make sure that the safety and security of Texans is well-established. If our federal government did their job, then Arizona wouldn't have to take this action, and neither would Texas"&lt;/em&gt; said Rep. Riddle. Republican Alabama gubernatorial candidate Tim James has vowed that if elected, he will require English to be the only language of  Alabama's driver's license exam. "&lt;em&gt;This is Alabama; we speak English. If you want to live here, learn it&lt;/em&gt;" he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there are the looming shadows of the secretive militias all across the land who do believe that federal border laws should be enforced: &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE63R2O020100428"&gt;The Militias&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the famous poem on the Statue of Liberty, America once opened her doors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Give me your tired, your poor,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Now the cry is "&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE63R5HP20100428"&gt;MAY DAY, MAY DAY.&lt;/a&gt;" as Latinos plan massive May Day rallies in more than Seventy American cities. "&lt;em&gt;The marches and demonstrations are going to be far more massive than they otherwise would have been,&lt;/em&gt;" said Los Angeles rally organizer Juan Jose Gutierrez. Meanwhile, the federal government of the United States, formerly known as "The Union" is coming down against Arizona and other states following Arizona's hubris in lawmaking. Is Arizona the second South Carolina?

He belittles anyone who thinks such trivialities are important, and why not? He has over three-quarters-of-a-million Fans at Facebook. His fans are absolutely hilarious as they answer his posts day after day asking "&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/How-about-we-stop-blaming-Barack-Obama-for-everything-George-Bush-did/308174364861?v=wall&amp;amp;story_fbid=112606195443091"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How about we stop blaming Barack Obama for everything George Bush did&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" &lt;b&gt;WITHOUT&lt;/b&gt; a question mark. ??? ROTFL! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is almost two years since Barack Obama was elected, but fans of this Facebook page still get thrills blaming all that is wrong with this country on President George W. Bush. Former President Bush has been quietly riding the range down in West Texas with nary a peep, but he is still the punching bag on Facebook. The most shocking thing at this page is when someone credits George Bush for something good, he or she is immediately called a "hater" and condemned for participating in the group. If female, she is also labelled with the "B-word." If you want to see the thinking process, education, vulgar language, sexism and RACISM™ of the typical anti-Freedom Obama supporter, "&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/How-about-we-stop-blaming-Barack-Obama-for-everything-George-Bush-did/308174364861?v=wall&amp;amp;story_fbid=112606195443091"&gt;How about we stop blaming Barack Obama for everything George Bush did&lt;/a&gt;" is the place to visit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just be prepared. If your photo icon shows a face of European heritage, be prepared to have the epithet "Nazi" hurled at you. You could even be a devout Jew, but if you're of the White race, to these unbelievably ignorant Obama supporters, you are still a Nazi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, it is Facebook's most hilarious page, but it is also Facebook's most heart-breaking. Here are the young people of America who have never been educated on the history of their own land.&amp;nbsp;I made a comment about George Washington and the Founding Fathers and I was labeled an ignorant old biddy, because any "educated" person knows that those Black-hearts were all Crooks and Rapists who killed the "Native Americans" and enslaved all black people. In the next post they went to my profile and started ridiculing the name of my home-place, which honors an ancient Indian tribe in Virginia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These people will go to the polls and vote for little godlings  of one race or one gender or another who promise them the rich man's wealth, until rich men are no more and the little godling becomes the slavemaster of the ignorant, the dictator of the once beloved land that was America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*The words&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"&gt;RACIST™ and&amp;nbsp;RACISM™ are Trademarked by Barack Obama and his supporters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-3253716821103413173?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/3253716821103413173/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=3253716821103413173' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/3253716821103413173'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/3253716821103413173'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/04/facebooks-most-hilarious-page.html' title='Facebook&apos;s Most Hilarious Page'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-3392743859452950686</id><published>2010-04-11T14:09:00.014-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-11T16:17:02.343-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iguevara'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='app store'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='che guevara'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='che'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liberals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='glenn beck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='apps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fox news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fascists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='apple'/><title type='text'>Apple Has an APP for Che Guevara</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;THERE's AN APP for THAT! But Apple Boycotts ALL of FOX NEWS Programming.&lt;/b&gt; iGuevara on your iPhone, iTouch and iPad from Apple. "&lt;i&gt;Free Speech for Che Guevara, a Muzzle for Glenn Beck and ALL of Fox News&lt;/i&gt;" is the new Apple Mantra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apple is promoting Che Guevara in its App Store by offering Apple consumers an App of Che Guevara sayings such as “&lt;i&gt;The revolution is not an APPLE that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall." &lt;/i&gt;At the same time, Apple is boycotting all of the Fox News network and Glenn Beck in particular. Isn't this strange behavior for an American Company? No, not when an American company is run by Liberal Fascists who honor a man who, while a guest of the United Nations in New York City,  plotted to blow up the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and the Washington Monument whilst allowing members of the Black Liberation Army be the dupes for it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Che Guevara was Castro’s bloodthirsty butcher. Che never saw military combat. Che assassinated only "bound and shackled" men, women &amp;amp; children who disagreed with the Communist Revolution. What a Liberal - Progressive hero! Glenn Beck, on the other hand, disagrees with Barack Obama and criticizes Democrats. What a Bastard to Apple's Liberal - Progressive - Capitalists!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Sayings of Che Guevara:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“The Negro is indolent and spends his money on frivolities and booze, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood… Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any surrendered enemy that falls in my hands! With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Hatred as the central element of our struggle… Hatred that is intransigent… Hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold- blooded killing machine… We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish Socialism rivers of blood must flow. The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind! Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination! If the nuclear missiles had remained (in Cuba) we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City!”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;After a hero’s welcome in New York City, Che Guevara spoke to the United Nations and bellowed: “Executions? Certainly, we execute! And we will continue executing as long as it is necessary!”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“We must never give him a minute of peace or tranquility. This is a total war to the death … the imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves” Che Guevara explained to Americans of his plot with the Black Liberation Army to blow up the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and the Washington Monument.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“I’d like to confess, Papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.” from Che Guevara's Letter to His Father&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“The negro has maintained his racial purity by his well known habit of avoiding baths.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Mexicans are a rabble of illiterate Indians.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iphonenano.net/hasta-la-victoria-che-guevara-iphone-app/iphone"&gt;Apple's Che Guervara App&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-3392743859452950686?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/3392743859452950686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=3392743859452950686' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/3392743859452950686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/3392743859452950686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/04/apple-has-app-for-che-guevara.html' title='Apple Has an APP for Che Guevara'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-3798097739962760994</id><published>2010-03-24T11:41:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2010-03-24T12:23:30.133-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='decline'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='socialism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obamacare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='american heritage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democracy'/><title type='text'>The American Trinity</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;The American Trinity of Powerful Presidents&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8c8282; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;George Washington fought to FREE America.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8c8282; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Abraham Lincoln FREED the slaves.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8c8282; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Barack Obama enslaved the FREE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;The 23rd of March - A Historic Day in American History, A Day That Will Live in Infamy!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Why stand we here idle?

Congress</title><content type='html'>"&lt;a href="http://whiskeyandgunpowder.com/fannie-freddie-fraud/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Fannie and Freddie, both government-sponsored enterprises that are guaranteed and funded by U.S. taxpayers, committed fraud so massive it dwarfs the Enron scandal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far back as 1993, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were investing in risky subprime and Alt-A loans, but routinely misrepresenting them as "Prime."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s U.S. Government certification of millions of bad loans as safe, other banks, both domestic and foreign, would not have bought them. More importantly, world financial markets would not have relied on those packaged subprime loans as collateral which resulted in the collapse of those world markets when their U.S. investments went bad. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were United States government-sponsored, government-backed enterprises, guaranteed and funded by the taxpayers of the United States, that committed fraud so massive that it left the world's financial markets in ruins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The warnings of economists who saw this coming decades ago went unheeded by the all-knowing U.S. Congress. Even President George W. Bush warned the Democrat-controlled Congress that such massive government involvement in the housing market would inevitably produce catastrophic results and he pleaded for reforms. Senator Barack Obama and the Democrats voted down the pleadings of President Bush, attacking him as an enemy of home ownership for poor minorities. Democrats like Senator Barack Obama and Congressman Barney Frank used Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as a piggy bank to buy votes for themselves and to keep the Democrat majority in power. It worked as they schemed to give homes to low-income individuals who had no capacity to repay the mortgages on the homes. So, here are we, the world, in a government-created financial calamity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the story line of the Barack Obama administration is that this a “Great Recession” caused by President George W. Bush and Capitalism. No one tells the American taxpayers of the many high-ranking officials currently running the Obama administration who themselves profited immensely from that same mortgage fraud business. The man at the very beginning of the Fannie and Freddie fraud that brought down the world's financial system was  Jim Johnson, who is now a “trusted adviser” to Barack Obama, and in fact helped him pick his running mate, Senator Joe Biden. And the list of villains continues to now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, in American democracy of today, the villains who cause the greatest suffering for their fellow countrymen are the very ones who are anointed to profit from the very catastrophes they cause for others. That is because in American democracy today, the incumbent villains always get voted back into office.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-7653860577269438663?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/7653860577269438663/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=7653860577269438663' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/7653860577269438663'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/7653860577269438663'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2010/01/fraud-of-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-us.html' title='The Fraud of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, &amp; the U.S. Congress'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-8671374697381737152</id><published>2009-11-27T18:09:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T18:12:41.617-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democracy government'/><title type='text'>Why Democracies Fail</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;"&lt;i&gt;A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.

And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the divine author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation.

We are so PC that we euphemize Sharia Law as "Political Correctness." Under Sharia Law it is forbidden for anyone to insult Islam. We self-censor ourselves to always speak respectfully of anything to do with Islam; we disrespect ourselves, our culture, our religions and our nation in order to uplift Islam as our nation enforces Shariah law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week, when we discovered that at least one Islamist Terrorist had openly infiltrated the Officer Corps of the United States Army, we stood in stunned silence as those who rule over us immediately attempted to convince us we did not see what we saw. They said we did not see a Muslim Radical gun down 44 unarmed American soldiers in their homeland. They explained that Major Hasan was just another deranged individual, whose religion was of no consequence as he committed workplace violence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our elitist betters have practically twisted themselves into pretzels to spin Major Nidal Hasan's act of warfare into something that they say American Christians do every day - massacre their fellows. America's media, military, society, law enforcement, authorities and politicians from the State House to the White House have been working overtime explaining, denying, excusing, dodging, blaming, and deceiving the American people. The treacherous lies of America's elites in defense of Radical Islam demonstrate their dedication to the enforcement of Shariah law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since September 11th, 2001, there have been 14,363 world-wide attacks by Islamists. Fifty percent of Muslims believe that Americans should be murdered because of their wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, under American Sharia Law, we are forced to not notice the Jihadis amongst us. We are silenced into submission and forced to  turn our heads and look away as the evil-doers wage warfare against erstwhile free people, for to speak against the favored faith is a crime under Sharia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/it_isnt_political_correctness.html"&gt;It Isn't Political Correctness, It's Sharia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://insidecatholic.com/Joomla/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=7200&amp;Itemid=121&amp;ed=1"&gt;Be PC and See NO Evil&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-9024762067246119454?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/9024762067246119454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=9024762067246119454' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/9024762067246119454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/9024762067246119454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2009/11/selling-sharia-as-political-correctness.html' title='Selling Sharia As &quot;Political Correctness&quot;'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-788201962149520578</id><published>2009-11-10T21:50:00.023-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T22:31:56.615-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political correctness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nidal malik hasan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='u.s. army'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politically correct speech'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='radicalism'/><title type='text'>Bury Political Correctness at Fort Hood</title><content type='html'>It was a cold-blooded murder committed by a Jihadi follower of a wretched ideology who, because of his favored religion, had been PC-protected for many years by the United States Army.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened to our brave soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas is a national outrage and the American people must rise up and kill, once and for all, the evil that is political correctness. Our government, our schools, our media, all of our institutions, and even our military are infested with the scourge which silences reason and paralyzes common sense. Political correctness killed our soldiers on American soil, where they should have been safe from the enemy they have sworn to protect us from. Instead, America's restrictive politically correct speech codes allowed the enemy within our own borders to form a fifth column which at this very moment flourishes, placing our fighting men and women in grave peril.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this very time, a few days after a United States military doctor gunned down the very people the Army had placed under his care, most of America's media is still too politically correct to investigate the Islamist connection with the massacre and is continuing to come up with defenses for Major Hasan's treachery. Americans must await news coming from the overseas "London Guardian" which is not fearful of investigating and exposing the evil actions of Major Hasan. We watch with disgust as our our government, the U.S. Army and America's supposedly mainstream media institutions furiously attempt to cover up any inklings of terrorist connection to the massacre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Political Correctness is a far greater danger to America than Al Qaeda and Radical Islam. Al Qaeda can kill our people, but the goal of Political Correctness is to exterminate the heart and soul of our nation. Wake up America! Plunge a stake through the wickedness of Political Correctness once and for all. Speak freely the truth and demand the same from your government!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Demand that treacherous journalists like Evan Thomas of Newsweek and Chris Matthews of MSNBC who ridicule Americans and spread untruths be punished. It was especially galling that Chris Matthews told viewers it was not a crime for a United States Army officer to make contact with America's enemy, Al Gaeda. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/11/11/p-c-in-the-u-s-a-a-deadly-bipartisan-infection/"&gt;"P.C. in the U.S.A.: A deadly, bipartisan infection"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.redstate.com/gamecock/2009/11/11/honor-veterans-by-declaring-war-on-pc-ie-cowardly-liars/"&gt;Honor Veterans By Declaring War On PC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-788201962149520578?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/788201962149520578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=788201962149520578' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/788201962149520578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/788201962149520578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2009/11/bury-political-correctness-at-fort-hood.html' title='Bury Political Correctness at Fort Hood'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-287868008444910194</id><published>2009-11-08T21:17:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-08T21:48:03.882-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democracy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom'/><title type='text'>Democracy Is Not Permanent</title><content type='html'>Freedom is not an endless list of rights: right to education, right to health care, to food, to housing.

A democracy survives until a majority of its people discovers it can vote itself largess from the public treasury.

The mosque was led by a radical Imam who was a "spiritual adviser" to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Septeber 11th, 2001. Hasan was attending this controversial mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, at the same time as the three terrorists. His mother’s funeral was held there in May 2001. The Imam at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London last August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organizations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been three days since Major Malik Nadal Hasan, calmly executed twelve soldiers, one civilian, and gunned down 38 others as sitting ducks at Fort Hood, while chanting "&lt;em&gt;Allahu Akbar&lt;/em&gt;." Since then, our politically correct government and media have been excuse-making for his actions since then.

"&lt;em&gt;If you don't believe, you are condemned to hell&lt;/em&gt;" -- Koran 4:140; Koran 9:49; Koran 9:68; Koran 9:73&lt;br /&gt;2.

That is the Arabic word for what is commonly written as 'Koran', 'Quran', or 'Qur'an' in English. Apparently, for some unknown reason, only the latter is the correct English translation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The University of Virginia refers on-line to al-qur'anu l-karîm, as the Koran and has turned it into an electronic version: &lt;a href="http://etext.virginia.edu/koran.html"&gt;The Koran at the Electronic Text Center, University of Virginia&lt;/a&gt;. The University of Michigan also has an &lt;a href="http://www.hti.umich.edu/k/koran/"&gt;electronic version of the Koran&lt;/a&gt; which is searchable at its website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The University of Southern California has &lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/qmtintro.html"&gt;three translations&lt;/a&gt; of the Qur'an at its website, where they note: &lt;em&gt;"any translation of the Qur'an immediately ceases to be the literal word of Allah, and hence cannot be equated with the Qur'an in its original Arabic form. In fact, each of the translations on this site is actually an interpretation which has been translated. The first-time reader is &lt;strong&gt;strongly&lt;/strong&gt; advised to read the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/qmtintro.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;introduction to the translations&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; we have made available. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/corrections.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Corrections&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; and suggestions are appreciated.&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08692a.htm"&gt;Catholic Encylopedia&lt;/a&gt; has a synopsis of the "Koran", from a Roman Catholic viewpoint of course, which is described as; "&lt;em&gt;The sacred book of the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10424a.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Muslims&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, by whom it is regarded as the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13001a.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;revelation of God&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.

Some spell it with a 'K' others with a 'Q' and -- perhaps most offensive to Muslim sensibilities -- some insert a meaningless apostrophe in the middle of the word.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First published by Edna Barney, Tuesday, May 17th, 2005.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-1362137304665232187?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/1362137304665232187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=1362137304665232187' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/1362137304665232187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/1362137304665232187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2009/11/holy-book-of-islam.html' title='The Holy Book of Islam'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04643502016287878191</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-9191509237453862760</id><published>2009-11-06T10:55:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T12:09:13.230-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='H.R. 3962'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health care'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='medicare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tricare for life'/><title type='text'>TRICARE for Life</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;ObamaCare to Eliminate TRICARE for LIFE?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is the question!

The new Health Care Bill is putting TRICARE for Life on the chopping block - Higher deductibles, Co-pays and even Premiums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am trying to&amp;nbsp;find the Health Care Bill that the Democrats promised to post on the Internet so that I can read these changes they say are on pages 77, 172, 189, 218, and 434.

I did find the ObamaCare Plan posted at the his web site (Rep. Gerry Connolly, VA 11th District,&amp;nbsp;"H.R. 3962" and I went to pages 77, 172, 189, 218, &amp;amp; 434.

Not anymore in today's America. This year when citizens organized themselves into modern-day Tea Parties in honor of their patriot ancestors of the Revolution, journalists of America's corrupt media immediately began deriding them with a very obscene and vulgar word describing a homosexual sex act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anderson Cooper was among the first of the so-called "journalists" who set the example for the rest of the rabid pack to follow. It was he who used the word meaning a&amp;nbsp;homosexual act in April when Tea Parties were first being announced. Over and again Cooper gleefully injected the vulgar slang as often as possible into his derisive comments on the tea party protests. When his professionalism as a national journalist was questioned for such offensive language, Anderson Cooper eventually was forced to apologize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Anderson Cooper set the example that virtually all television networks and Democrat politicians today continue to use to ridicule American citizens exercising their constitutional right to assemble and protest.&amp;nbsp; These journalists and Democrats have no shame at all in referring to grandmothers, stay-at-home moms, babes in arms, children in strollers, disabled veterans, and whoever else dares to protest the government, with a homosexual expletive so vile, that most citizens at Tea Parties&amp;nbsp;have never heard before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kerfuffles.blogsome.com/2009/05/20/americas-ignorant-media-and-tea-bags/"&gt;Media Ignorance of Tea Bags and Tea Parties&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2009/20090414140746.aspx"&gt;MSNBC - America's Sleaziest Television Network&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10949814-423640088311219107?l=kerfuffles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/feeds/423640088311219107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10949814&amp;postID=423640088311219107' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/423640088311219107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10949814/posts/default/423640088311219107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kerfuffles.blogspot.com/2009/11/tea-parties-too-american-for-americas.html' title='Tea Parties - Too American for America&apos;s Media'/><author><name>Edna Barney</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://members.cox.net/neddy/catface.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949814.post-437345809884241692</id><published>2009-11-05T08:29:00.016-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-05T10:28:32.236-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='one-party'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='redistributionists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flag'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='socialism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obamanation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='big o'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='radicalism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama disses dar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obamunism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democrats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='leftists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ussr'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='russia'/><title type='text'>ObamaNation - A Single Party State</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tofz4u/2974707335/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/2974707335_a15e228ec2.jpg" style="border-bottom: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ObamaNation is a single-party state. Single-party states usually arise from Leninist, fascist or nationalist ideologies. When the ruling party subscribes to a form of Marxism-Leninism, the one-party state system is usually called a communist state. However, communist states do not like to use the failed term of "Communist" to describe themselves, so they adopt more acceptable words. The Democrats of the ObamaNation call their nation a "democratic republic."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama was elected to the Office of Presidency with the votes of university-educated youths who had been indoctrinated by Leftist professors with socialist and communist-leaning ideologies, and immigrants and ethnic minorities whose interests lie with the furtherance of the Socialist Welfare State. Obama proclaimed that his political and cultural views could be judged by the people he appointed to run his government. We now see that a large number of Obama's appointees are unabashed communists, Marxists, Maoists, anti-Americans and NAMBLA members, as are many of the official visitors to the Obama White House. ("&lt;a href="http://kerfuffles.blogsome.com/tell-me-who-your-friends-are/"&gt;Tell Me Who Your Friends Are&lt;/a&gt;")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who believe in single-party rule believe that it strengthens the sense of unity and commonality found in single-party states. Allowing additional political parties to have an input into the government would introduce division and stymie economic and political development. This one-party type of government was responsible for the great success of transforming the backward, agrarian country of Russia into the superpower nation of the Soviet Union (USSR).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democrats of the single-party ObamaNation believe that one-party rule enables them to legislate "good" long-term policies, such as nationalized health care that opposition parties would block if they were able to obtain power. They consider a single party system to be truly democratic, as their candidates are popularly elected with the help of government-sponsored entities, such as ACORN, government-run media and state-endorsed unions such as SEIU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The One-Party ObamaNation has its own national ensign which is usually displayed with the face of Barack Obama superimposed over the flag of the former United States of America.
