When The Inmates Run The Asylum

  In January, I published a couple of sequential articles entitled, Why Airline Safety Can't Be Insured (Jan-4) and Morons Of America Please Stand Up (Jan-5). Shortly thereafter, a very dear friend took me to task about my comments against the futility and invasion of modesty that full body screening will bring to air travel, not to mention further loss of revenue to an already deeply troubled airline industry as travelers eschew this mode of travel for yet another reason. The position that I advocated in these two previous articles, has not changed. For reasons that cannot be ignored by a rational person, the only way to improve security at the airport is to very specifically profile, and to disallow commercial flight to those who would deny our citizenry the freedom to fly in peace. We must not continue to allow ourselves to be subjected to ever increasing, and futile attempts to screen out weapons of mass destruction that have only been carried onboard by individuals of a certain profile.

 

I will not spend a great amount of time making the obvious case but before Middle Eastern Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 40 began high jacking airplanes and killing the passengers, or committing suicide by blowing up entire planes; Before Middle Eastern Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 40 began flying airplanes into prominent buildings, or attempting to destruct the Pentagon and the White House by crashing pirated airplanes into them; Before Middle Eastern Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 40 began attempting to ignite explosives stashed in their shoes or in the cavities covered by their underwear; Yes, before all that there was deemed to be no need to even screen passengers. Back then, people considered air travel a social occasion which allowed whole families to gather at the gate without passing through any screening device, and have a drink or dinner or just visit together with the arriving or departing traveler(s), or to arrange for a happy greeting to an arriving friend or loved one.

Please feel free to go back and read my two referenced articles but in synopsis I stated therein that neither metal detectors nor full body screening nor strip searches nor X-Ray nor MRI, nor any other technique currently known to mankind would insure a high probability of safety in air travel. No!! Only rational profiling will accomplish that.

I am writing this article today to further illustrate what I stated in my blog last month. The following is an excerpt of what was printed this morning on WorldNetDailyä :

"Women suicide bombers recruited by al-Qaida are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery. The lethal explosives – usually PETN (pentaerythritol Tetrabitrate) – are inserted during the operation inside the plastic shapes. The breast is then sewn up. Similar surgery has been performed on male suicide bombers. In their cases, the explosives are inserted in the appendix area or in a buttock."

 

"Properly inserted the implant would be virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines. Given that the explosive would be inserted in a sealed plastic sachet, and would be a small amount, would make it all the more impossible to spot it with the usual body scanner."

"Explosive experts at Britain's Porton Down biological and chemical warfare research center told MI5 that a sachet containing as little as five ounces of PETN when activated would blow "a considerable hole" in an airline's #skin which would guarantee it would crash."

But, in order to be politically correct, our leaders in their dubious wisdom have determined that all travelers will continue to be subjected to futile metal scans, requirements to remove their shoes, jewelry, belts and coats, to empty all their pockets and throw away their toothpaste, bottled water, coffee, shampoo, hair spray, deodorant, etc. Furthermore, because a Muslim terrorist caught himself on fire during a failed terror attack in flight on Christmas Day, and was found to have explosive material carefully stored inside his underwear (which would not have been caught by anything except a body cavity search anyway), we are all soon to be subjected to extremely invasive full body scans that will certainly turn many travelers away from the airport. Meanwhile, those who have the potential and desire to harm us may walk blithely onboard with their C4 or PETN safely stored in a body orifice or organ, to be activated during what should have been (and used to be) a pleasant and statistically safe mode of travel.

The same governmental leaders wish to disarm all of the law abiding citizens of America under the guise of protecting (us?) from law breakers?

They are spending billions of dollars, and have created a billion dollar industry in it's own right, to protect the world from global warming, which has itself been proven to be a lie based upon fraudulent data and other outright lies. Furthermore, and incredibly I might add, the leader of this movement, Al Gore, has been proven to have one of the largest personal carbon footprints of any other individual, and is doing nothing to change that.

Through Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac programs, they forced the investment community, and the nation into an unprecedented financial crisis by requiring banks and other lenders to extend sub-prime mortgage loans to individuals who did not have the means to pay, and who subsequently defaulted in record numbers.

And though they have proven to possess minimal credible business experience, they believe that they can run the auto industry, the banking industry, healthcare, etc, better than people who have spent their lives in corporate achievement.

Our president, in cooperation with the trade unions, believes that they can turn out better citizens by re-writing the history books the way that they wish it had been, instead of the way it was; that by purging Christianity from our culture they can create a better society; that by attacking industries and companies that are not organized, and forcing them to adopt union policy they will make the playing field more level for average Americans. It is not so. Advancement based upon individual merit, which is foreign to union labor, and the competition between corporations and other businesses are the hallmark of the free enterprise system that made America the envy of the rest of the world. Furthermore, it is the unions that have destroyed whole industries in America and the auto industry is the new “poster child” for the failure of union dominated companies to compete in the global marketplace.

Irrational conduct such as this can be expected to occur, when the inmates run the asylum my friends, and the politically correct, irrational and futile attempts to protect us in the air are just further evidence of that analogy. We cannot continue to accept leadership in Washington that is so obviously inept. We deserve better.

Wake Up, America...........Wake Up Before It's Too Late!!!

Morons Of America, Please Stand Up!

After listening to a couple of hours of talk radio this morning, I just have to add a few more comments regarding the aftermath of activities by the Christmas Day Panty-Bomber.

Please people,.........let’s stop sounding so ridiculous!! To prevent terrorism on air flights we're going to randomly screen passengers via full body imaging and not let people read, hold anything in their hands or go to the bathroom during the final hour of a flight?? I mean, Come on!!!

We have morons running our Homeland Security program. I'm sorry!! I wish that there was another name for it but......there isn't!! Mark Levin said on his radio program yesterday, "I feel like I'm living near a giant Jim Jones commune" (sic), and I know what he means. Think people..........think........or you may one day find yourself in a village somewhere drinking the arsenic laced Kool-Aid.

Every time I hear someone like even popular conservative talk show host Dennis Prager saying, “I’m all for full body scanning. It will make our air travel a lot safer”, I just want to say, “People go put on your moron hats and sit quietly in the corner somewhere and do........ whatever morons do”, no offense intended Dennis.

The only way that enforcement of the quiet hour prior to arrival at a destination, or random full body scanning prior to the flight will make anything safer is if another moron is the one who is traveling with the bomb and/or being scanned prior to boarding. Considering these new and enhanced security measures, it goes without saying that on any flight lasting over 60 minutes the terrorist will have to use the remaining duration prior to the final 60 minutes to activate his package (I can’t believe I am explaining this). Furthermore, random full body scans will not catch the Arab/Muslim terrorist, most of the time. Profiled full body scans won’t either because if the terrorist wedges it in his.....you know........, which he very happily will, it won’t be seen by the imaging machine anyway.

These notions will be no more effective in actually providing security for air travelers than requiring infrequent flyers from say, Oklahoma, to throw away their toothpaste, shampoo, bottled water and a $4.00 cup of Starbucks coffee prior to entering the ’security’ area, when finally taking that rare flight to see their children who now live in California.

I wonder, how dumb we have to be before we truly become the laughing stock of the world. I’m sorry but surely I’m not the only one who sees the wry humor in our ridiculously misguided attempts to secure air travel. Take my shoes off ?? Don't make me laugh!!

The kind of explosives being used by Arab/Muslim terrorists will not usually be caught by any current screening techniques. The only way to maximize safe air travel is to deny boarding rights to anyone who fits a profile that has been known to be a threat to the safety of air travelers, i.e. Arab/Muslims whose fathers have reported them as possible terrorists, are traveling without papers or luggage and paying $3,000. cash for a one way ticket to America. If some very simple and rational rules of logic had been applied, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab would not have even been on Northwestern flight #253 on Christmas Day where ~300 travelers narrowly escaped death when the detonator that , Umar had brought onboard merely set his pants on fire instead of igniting the bomb that he had wedged into his...........you know........

Wake up, America!! Wake up, before it's too late!!

Why Airline Safety Cannot Be Insured

On Christmas Day, 2009, a Yemeni Muslim Terrorist successfully executed a bomb attack upon Northwest Airline flight #253 while in route from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan. No one was killed, no thanks to Homeland Security or TSA, only because the bomb’s ignition system failed, after which other alert passengers seized the moment and subdued the terrorist.

No security screening technology that is currently in use, or is planned to be put into use would have prevented this act, so to pretend that we are going to take drastic measures (by adding full body scans), and by doing so will assure airline safety, is either purposely patronizing and deceptive, or just plain stupid.

Three days after the Christmas Day attack, Mr. Obama came out with a statement which implicated Al Qaeda. To which my daughter responded, “Thank you, Captain Obvious”!!

Quite frankly, I don’t give two hoots whether it was the act of the Taliban, Al Qaeda or simply the random act of yet another Middle Eastern Muslim terrorist. It does not even matter to me that our Homeland Security is so ineffective that it let a man whose own father had turned him in as a potential terrorist, a man who showed up at the airport in Amsterdam with no luggage and no travel papers, and paid $3000 cash to purchase a one way ticket to Detroit, and did so with no problems. It is irrelevant to me that 23 year old Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, in spite of all the evidence that would seem to have justified it, received no special scrutiny or screening whatsoever because to be politically correct, we refuse to profile in order to protect our citizens from harm,....but even if we did, we must face the inescapable conclusion that even that would not really secure the safety of air travel.

And so yesterday, we were requiring all passengers and their carry on items go through metal detectors, and today we plan to add random full body scans using the long threatened imaging technology that looks through clothing but does not inspect body cavities or crevices. When that proves to be ineffective, which indeed it will, and anyone but a moron can determine that for himself, what will we do next? Begin strip searching passengers so that body cavities and crevices may be "looked into"? And when that doesn’t suffice, will we add MRI or X-Ray scans performed on passengers to find ingested or surgically implanted WMDs?

None of these actions will be effective unless we begin barring Arabs/Muslims from integrated flights and so, what if we do that? Well, airline safety will be dramatically improved but, the Arab/Muslim terrorists will simply shift their focus to football domes, or malls, or some other target of their venom.

I’m sorry, but after having my personal freedom trampled upon more and more, and year after year, and after waiting over 8 years since the September 11, 2001 attack on America for someone in the Arab/Muslim community to step up and condemn the behavior of Muslim terrorist in the world, to act like real Americans, I have become radicalized against their continued presence and impact upon my personal freedom and the lives of my family members and friends.

Islam is not really so much a religion as a radical ideology which tolerates nothing less than total societal change.  The changes that they desire are backward, ugly, dangerous and intolerable to civilized people, and those who follow it are destroying every modern culture around the world that acquiesce to their desires.

It is therefore my view that Muslims, and the Muslim religion itself must be purged and totally banned from this country, and that if we don‘t urgently take such radical action, we place the future of our children in the greatest of jeopardy.

Wake up, America!! Wake up before it’s too late!!

Well, Everything Just May Be Fubar!!

On this New Year's Eve, with so many things off base as we witness a legislative and judicial system out of control (and the Supreme Court itself legislating from the bench), unabashed distribution of Socialist propaganda by the Establishment Media, habitual glorification of immorality under the guise of entertainment, genocide being committed against helpless children while still in the wombs of their mothers, celebration of the abominable practices of homosexuality, government takeover of private industries and health care, suppression of free speech, gun control, phony environmental legislation, inappropriate, ineffective and inaccurately portrayed information being disseminated within our public schools, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, one cannot escape the very real possibility that everything may just be Fubar!! That is to say, in the nicest way that I possibly can, Fouled Up Beyond All Repair!!

 Maybe it is too late to close the gate, since the cows are already out. Perhaps it isn't possible to put the Genie back in the bottle but one thing that we can know for certain, trying to maintain a status quo that is a moving target, as we continue to witness the ongoing devolution of our national heritage is not going to suffice. When degeneration of a culture is considered progress, and loss of morality a sign of societal maturation then just saying ‘enough is enough’ is simply and decidedly inadequate if salvation of the culture is to be accomplished.

It is my view that a grassroots movement by 'we the people', that calls for major reform in Washington is both urgent and long overdue. Sitting here waiting for the next election dates with the intent of somehow voting out the old (representatives) and voting in the new (representatives) , without making any philosophical adjustments is, to put it bluntly, lame, ineffective and foolish! Let's instead begin a movement that brings before the people topics to vote upon that allow for reformation of behavior and rules that have crept into our government and that now clearly threaten our very freedom. But personally, I'm not sure that at this late stage of devolution even that will be sufficient to turn back the clock or repair the destruction of America that we continue to witness.

There is just cause, and immediate need for the following to be put to a vote before 'we the people' of the United States:

*Term limits for all public servants [read: elected officials and those whom they appoint]. No longer than 8 years for any elected official, not a career in public office.

 *No golden retirement plans; No tenure, No pensions for any of these individuals. Social Security, when eligible, just like every other ordinary citizen. A salary while in office but no continuation of payment burdening the public afterwards. Said salary should be determined by the will of the people, not by Congress, especially with regard to Congressional salaries and benefits. We need to put an end to the practice of allowing the 'weasel to guard the hen house', so to speak. We need to return to the practice of sending patriots and public servants (those who wish to serve) to Washington, not mercenaries.

*A Requirement for our lawmakers to live by the same laws, measures and benefits they impose upon 'we the people' during their terms in public office(no elite sector s that live above the law and the masses).

*Move to end the ridiculous practice of lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court, and of allowing this high court to reinterpret the intent of our Constitution.

*Demand appropriate action from those who we send to Washington to represent our interests. That they immediately consider non-exhaustive activities such as:

 *The rollback of all laws that have been enacted that are contrary to the intent of the Constitution of the United States.

*The rollback of all laws that are contrary to the Biblical fundamentals upon which this nation was founded .

*The rollback and/or deregulation of some of our societal changes and a restoration of reason . ( includes a long list of inexplicable regulations that have been imposed upon us without sound logic having been applied)

*Ending subsidization of illegal immigrants and their children

*The prosecution of any individual who commits treason

*Reinstatement of the concept of "Don't Tread On Me"

 

On November 7th, 2008, I advanced these thoughts and questions:  Generations before us, all the way back to colonial times, have given their blood, sweat and tears to preserve our culture and protect our freedom. I wonder if we are up to the challenges that we now face? I wonder what any American generations that exist in the future will say about us?

On November 9th, I added:  With over half of the voting population of America casting their votes in support of the most immoral agenda in the history of America, in blind support of the intrinsic moral wickedness that is currently being advanced by the far left, it is time to for all of us to 'get off the fence'.

On April 10th, 2009, I observed:  My dear friends, . . . 'We The People’, . . . our national complacency, and acceptance of moral decay is palpable, and astounding!

Then on April 15th, I implored you:  I pray that right thinking Americans will resist the slide to Socialism, to their last breath. And beyond personal and community based charity for those who are truly in need, as opposed to those who simply believe themselves to be entitled, I pray that we will fight to preserve what conservatives for generations have called the American way: Capitalism based on the competition of free enterprise, and of a free market system augmented by abiding, personal and relentlessly ambitious commitment to personal excellence.

On April 22nd, I made this impassioned plea:  We are, one nation of united states by design, under God by His creation and sovereign will; But the reigning liberals, and their followers, are putting this great nation at risk of losing it all, when they blindly, and ignorantly, interpret evil as good and good as evil; when they don't want to face the ugly truth, even when they see it with their own eyes, preferring rather to ignore the facts; when they defend what is evil and condemn what is good; when they refuse to call those who have repeatedly attacked us, terrorists, but are more than willing to call God fearing American citizens, "right wing extremists", and "a security threat to the nation" because we have the audacity to express outrage, at the outrageous conduct and attitudes of those very same liberals.

On April 29th, I observed: I hear frustrated people every day who agree with the description of the problem, but complain, "What can I do, I'm only one person without significant influence". Well, once again the perhaps rhetorical question, "What are you willing to do?" You may answer the question now, if you like, or you can answer it later, but answer it you will.

On June 10th, I offered this perspective:  My dear friends, it is not difficult to understand why the people who give unconditional support to the socialist goals of Obama do so, (the Black Americans, Sodomites, Abortionists, Labor Unions, Muslims, Welfare Recipients, Illegal Immigrants, Hedonists and the like), but when I begin to hear a softening of tone, a rationalizing of standards, a move toward the left and compromise of substance from those who have been the public face of American conservatism, how can I not feel a little confused and demoralized. When I also hear a left shift from my personal friends and fellow conservatives toward a more moderate view, and an underlying criticism of those who would boldly speak out against the tyranny of socialism and yes, against this administration, it is difficult to believe that our national heritage is not at great risk. When we become like sheep, the wolves will devour us.

On June 16th, As I told a tale of the battle between a good and a bad wolf, and closed with the following:  ..........in Turkey last week (on June 3), as he has done before, Barack Hussein Obama declared that we are not a Judeo-Christian nation. On June 4, he paid homage to Islam, repeatedly calling the Koran Holy, and quoting from it over and over for emphasis.  Asked last year to clarify his remarks on America’s spiritual heritage, Obama repeated them to the Christian Broadcast Network: “I think that the right might worry a bit more about the dangers of sectarianism. Whatever we once were, we’re no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers,” Obama wrote in an e-mail to CBN News senior national correspondent David Brody.“We should acknowledge this and realize that when we’re formulating policies from the statehouse to the Senate floor to the White House, we’ve got to work to translate our reasoning into values that are accessible to every one of our citizens, not just members of our own faith community,” wrote Obama.

"Grandfather which wolf will survive?"

"The one that is fed, my son."

On November 9th, commenting on the Fort Hood massacre, I stated:  It is time for the ‘I'm OK, your OK’ generation that are trying to destroy the moral values of this country, the Establishment Media, the ObamaNationistas, Homeland Security, the FBI, politically correct military officers like, General Casey, and Fort Hood base commander Lt. General Cone (who said that “the evidence did not point to terrorism” sic), to stop making excuses. What has happened in this country that we are no longer willing to call a spade a spade, for fear that we may hurt our careers or appear to be politically incorrect? Even the doctors who worked with Major Hasan were said to be so "creeped out" by him that they purposely steered patients away from him, but were afraid to report his behavior to their superiors. As a collective consequence of reluctance, pacifism or apathy, on the part of those whom we rely upon to protect us, 13 souls departed this life last week, 30 more lay wounded, some critically, and 43 families are grieving. And every true patriot in this nation grieves with them.

On November 18th, I ventured the following:  Where did we think all of this would lead us? Barack Obama is the most transparent president in history. He never felt the need to disguise his intentions and is doing exactly what he said he would do, should he be elected president.  This nation did not elect one that it believed to be the Messiah and then later find that in reality he had evil intentions that are contrary to what was expected. No. What has become, and is rapidly becoming an ever more evil and foolish nation elected him for just what he is now proving himself to be: an Abortionist, a Muslim, a Blasphemer, a Marxist, a Racist, a Narcissist and a Tyrant, who despises American capitalism and the free enterprise system that has made it the most powerful and envied nation upon the earth. He and all those who align themselves with him are resolute in their determination to destroy the moral basis upon which this great nation was founded, they intend to deprive us of the freedoms guaranteed to us by our Constitution, and are bent upon the destruction of our very way of life.

The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men. Psalms 12: 8
 

 And now, as we witness the close of the 2009th year of our Lord, do we conclude that this nation is irretrievably Fubar? As I look back over this, another year, I find myself to be even more convinced than ever that unless a change in direction is initiated, this nation is headed toward a great peril.

 May 2010 be a year that is blessed by God on our behalf, and may we find within ourselves the answers to the questions: What are we willing to do, which wolf will we feed, and what will any American generation that may exist in the future say about us?

 Wake up America!! Wake up, . . . . .before it's too late!!

A Modern Day Declaration Of Independence

Tyranny, even when it comes from within our very nation, is tyranny all the same. In order to further emphasize this point, I would ask that on the heels of my November 16 article entitled , “A Modern Day American Crisis”, you also consider the following words from the writings of another of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, who would later become the president of the United States. The general content of this document has been preserved, but in order to make the blunt point, the specifics are herein modified for your sober reflection upon:

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of (these states); and such is now the necessity which constrains them (to protest the changes to) their former systems of government. The history of (this president, Barack Hussein Obama), is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world:

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has refused to present birth evidence that establishes his legal right to hold a congressional or executive office in the United States.
He has (identified so called czars) dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has conspired to enlist a private civil militant entity for undetermined use.
He has attempted to indoctrinate our children, through our public schools, with doctrine that does not consider or represent the beliefs of non Socialist homes and families
He has attempted to destroy our dedication to the Christian faith upon which this nation was founded.
He has filled his cabinet and other government agencies with known criminals and Socialists without proper vetting or concern as to possible consequences..
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For the bailout of failing businesses;
For redistribution of wealth under the guise of economic stimulus;
For regulation of industry using "cap and trade" terminology under the guise of planetary defense;
For the nationalization of whole industries;
For the nationalization of health care;
For severe regulation and restriction of private gun and ammunition ownership, in violation of our Constitutional rights;
For restriction of free speech under the guise of a "fairness doctrine";
For imposing taxes on us without our consent;
For taking away our charters, abolishing (or ignoring) our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments.
He has excited domestic insurrection among us.
He has incited racial discrimination among us.
He has conspired to relinquish our national sovereignty to a world government.
He has given aid and comfort to enemies of the state during a time of war.
He has refused to support the recommendations of his military leaders during a time of war, putting the army of our government unnecessarily at higher risk.
He has conspired to force corporations into unionizing their labor forces, an act that will destroy our international competitiveness.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A (leader), whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in our attentions to our (Socialist) brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of (that preceded the) emigration and settlement here (of our forefathers and national founders). We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity; and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, (as) representative (citizens) of the (United States of America), appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the (expressed ) authority of the good people of these (states) solemnly publish and declare, That these United (States) are, and of right ought to be, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the (Socialist form of government of the Obama administration and those like it), and that all political connection between them and the (aforementioned government entity or entities) is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Wake up America! Before it is too late!!

Where did we think all of this would lead us? Barack Obama is the most transparent president in history. He never felt the need to disguise his intentions and is doing exactly what he said he would do, should he be elected president.

This nation did not elect one that it believed to be the Messiah and then later find that in reality he had evil intentions that are contrary to what was expected. No. What has become, and  is rapidly becoming  an ever more evil and foolish nation elected him for just what he is now proving himself to be: an Abortionist, a Muslim, a Blasphemer, a Marxist, a Racist, a Narcissist and a Tyrant, who despises American capitalism and the free enterprise system that has made it the most powerful and envied nation upon the earth.
 
He and all those who align themselves with him are resolute in their determination to destroy the moral basis upon which this great nation was founded, they intend to deprive us of the freedoms guaranteed to us by our Constitution, and are bent upon the destruction of our very way of life.

The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men. Psalms 12: 8
Wake up America!  Before it's too late!!

One Nation, Under God, In Denial

This article was first published on April 28, 2009 at: http://denniskey.blogspot.com and is herein updated:
 
What has happened to sensibility in America? Every day, as I listen to the maniacal comments made by congressmen, the Establishment media (TEM) news commentators and even a president, I am dumbfounded. Have they all completely lost their minds, along with the drones who follow along after them, excusing and defending every irrational and idiotic statement that they make, every incomprehensible action that they take? Or are they simply living in denial?

What horrible act must occur, before they wake up and realize that we are, and have been, under attack by Muslim terrorists for 20 years or longer, and that they(the terrorists) don't play by anyone's rules but their own? Seemingly oblivious to this, even in the shadow of the events of September 11, 2001, liberals spend their time "straining out gnats, while swallowing camels". They cower, yield and wither under verbal assaults at our airports, from Muslims who object to security scrutiny, yet practically strip search some little old grandmother, a blond teenager or a soccer mom, so as not to appear to be profiling. They repeatedly detain a handicapped dwarf like Matt Rolloff, who has sufficiently demonstrated to a national audience that he is a wonderful and patriotic American role model, scrutinizing the equipment that he must use, and travel with, in order to remain mobile. At the same time, in order to be politically correct, they wave through robed and bearded Arabs in turbans, with their burkha wrapped female companions, without even a nod. If you will pardon my language, "What a bunch of crap!"
Just for the record:
 
This is what terrorists look like: The 9-11, suicide bombers.



This is not what terrorists look like: Matt Rolloff


Earlier this year, the TEM was filled with commentary, on the release by President Barack Hussein Obama of the so called ‘torture memos', outlining details of Bush-era interrogation techniques. The memos were released on the order of a US federal judge, in response to a request that was submitted by the ACLU.

"Unbelievably, here is what the so called 'torture memos' were talking about. The descriptions would be laughable, if not for their stunningly misguided treatment by liberals:

Interrogation tactics detailed in torture memos:

Walling: Shoving the detainee into a false wall. "...the false wall is in part constructed to create a loud sound when the individual hits it, which will further shock or surprise the individual."

Insects: "..place (the detainee) in a cramped confinement box with an insect....tell (the detainee) that you intend to place a stinging insect into the box with him. You would, however, place a harmless insect in the box (like a caterpillar)."

Insult Slap: "...the interrogator slaps the individual's face or abdomen, with fingers slightly spread...The interrogator invades the individual's personal space... the purpose of the facial slap is to induce shock, surprise, and/or humiliation."

Cramped Containment: "The confined space is usually dark. The duration of confinement varies based on the size of the container...Confinement in the larger space can last up to eighteen hours. For the smaller space, confinement lasts for no more than two hours."

Waterboarding: Simulates the sensation of drowning. Not painful but scary.

Forced Nudity: Causing the individual to be seen. . . . without clothes on?

Sleep Deprivation: An effort to induce the prisoner to reveal his knowledge of terrorist activities?

Dietary Restrictions: Causing the imprisoned Arab terrorist to eat food that is not to his liking?

Sitting in Stress Positions: Requiring the prisoner to sit in one of three "stress positions," such as sitting on the floor with legs out straight and arms raised in the air.

Water Hosing: Dousing the prisoner for minutes at a time with a water hose.

I don't know about you, my dear readers, but by my estimation, the ultra obvious, politically motivated, use of the word "torture", to describe activities that barely rise to the level of college fraternity hazing is patently ridiculous. This is again, the gross misuse of an old English word, similar to that which has been applied to the word 'gay', which really means happy, but now is commonly used as the description for something that is, detestable(I'm sorry. I wish there was a better word for it but...there isn't). In reality, there is nothing gay about the homosexual lifestyle. Neither is there any act of coercion in these memos, sufficient to merit the use of the word torture to describe it. Slapping and shoving, not so long ago, was preferred over a whipping(or spanking, something we eventually called-corporal punishment).
 
Keeping someone awake against his will, or spraying him with a water hose was once simply deemed to be obnoxious behavior, but "torture" is a word that throughout time has been reserved to define gross affliction of the body, as has been very properly illustrated by the disembowelment, and dismemberment of the William Wallaces of history or by the burning, stoning, scourging and crucifixion of Christian martyrs, and of Christ Himself. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines it thusly:

torture: 1 a: anguish of body or mind : agony b: something that causes agony or pain
2: the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding).

During his first week in office, Obama issued an executive order banning the use of what he called, "these harsh interrogation methods", and ordered the CIA to abide by rules laid out in the US Army Field Manual. But on releasing the memos yesterday, he said CIA agents acted "in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice", so would not be prosecuted. "This is a time for reflection, not retribution, "Obama said, adding that nothing was to be gained by laying blame for the past. In condemning what he called a "dark and painful chapter in our history," he said these interrogation techniques would never be used again.
Oh really? I wonder what techniques he intends to use in the future? Perhaps "timeout", or "grounding" will work. Or maybe he can have them write,"I will not commit any more atrocities" on the chalk board 500 times.
What a bunch of hogwash!! To the president and his staff, and to my misguided liberal acquaintances I would like to say, "If you are going to throw around words like, "torture" to defame and discredit Americans, in favor of Muslim terrorists, then please, at least try to present some logical reasoning!" For edification, lest you remain in perpetual denial of reality, here are some comparatives that I hope you will find useful:

A correct use of the term "torture" is demonstrated, when innocent non-combatant citizens are forced to choose between being consumed by a 2000 degree inferno, or leaping to their death from an 80th story window.



"Torture" is not demonstrated, by slapping a militant terrorist in the face, or making him sit for a while in a stressful position!

Another correct usage of the term "torture" is demonstrated, by the fear mongering threat of death which leads up to, and culminates with, the beheading of innocent and non-combatant citizens without cause, under the pretense of religious fervor.


Paul Johnson, American contractor in Iraq
Nick Berg, American contractor in Iraq

A 16 year old Christian girl in Indonesia

"Torture" is not demonstrated, by depriving a militant terrorist of sleep, or shoving him against a hollow wall for effect!

Another correct usage of the term "torture" is demonstrated, by the use of box cutting blades to slit the throats of innocent non-combatant flight attendants, and letting them bleed out, or strangle on their own blood.

"Torture" is not demonstrated, by manipulation of the dietary regimen of a militant terrorist or by exposing his nudity to others! Neither is it demonstrated when he is threatened with drowning, but never drowned, nor when he is confined in a dark and cramped room for a few hours.

But by definition, another correct use of the term" torture" is clearly demonstrated, when airplanes full of innocent and non-combatant citizens are terrorized and abused for an hour or two, and then purposely flown into large buildings or into the ground, having their peaceful lives snuffed out in massive explosions.



"Torture" is just as clearly not demonstrated, when a militant terrorist is sprayed with a water hose for several minutes at a time, nor when he is confined in a 6 x 6 box and threatened with the possibility that a non-poisonous bug , or a caterpillar may be placed in there with him!




By definition, "torture" is also graphically demonstrated, when an innocent non-combatant infant citizen is murdered in utero, or is violently ripped from his mother's wombs, with her complicity, causing instant death; or when a child who refuses to die during an abortion is allowed to endure a slow death of intentional neglect in a hospital closet or a wash basin. Yes indeed, dear friends, acts of "torture" such as this, are happening every day right here in America, and the perpetrators of these heinous crimes against humanity are not Muslim terrorists, but every day liberal Americans; the same ones who naively believe that showing our weakness and our unwillingness to act forcefully in the face of terrorism, will make Muslim terrorists, and terrorist nations, our friends.

We are, one nation of united states by design, under God by His creation and sovereign will; But the reigning liberals, and their followers, are putting this great nation at risk of losing it all, when they blindly, and ignorantly, interpret evil as good and good as evil. When they don't want to face the ugly truth, even when they see it with own eyes, preferring rather to ignore the facts. When they defend what is evil and condemn what is good. When they refuse to call those who have repeatedly attacked us, terrorists, but are more than willing to call God fearing American citizens, "right wing extremists", and "a security threat to the nation", because we have the audacity to express outrage, at the outrageous conduct and attitudes of those very same liberals.
 
Wake up America!! Wake up, . . . . .before it's too late!!

A Modern Day American Crisis

Tyranny, even when it comes from within our very nation, is tyranny all the same. In order to make this point, I would ask that you consider these words from the writings of one of our founding fathers, Thomas Paine, which are being herein modified and reapplied for your sober reflection upon:

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.

Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated. [Barack Obama], with an army to enforce his tyranny, [has demonstrated that he believes] he has a right not only to tax, but "to bind us in all cases whatsoever" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.

Many today by there complacent attitudes seem to be saying, no matter what they do "Well! [Just] give me peace in my day." [redacted] A generous parent [might well say], "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace;" and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.

There are cases which cannot be overdone by language, and this is one. There are persons, too, who see not the full extent of the evil which threatens them; they solace themselves with hopes that [this administration], if [it] succeeds, will be merciful. It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf, and we ought to guard equally against both. [Barack Hussein Obama's] first object is, partly by threats and partly by promises, to terrify or seduce the people to deliver up their arms and receive mercy. [redacted] This is what the [Socialists] call making their peace, "a peace which passeth all understanding" indeed! A peace which would be the immediate forerunner of a worse ruin than any we have yet thought of. Ye men of [America], do reason upon these things! Were [we and our neighbors] to give up [our] arms, [we] would fall an easy prey to the [criminal elements, including corrupt government agencies], who will all be armed: this perhaps is what some [Obamanistas] would not be sorry for. [redacted]

Mutual fear is the principal link in the chain of mutual love, and woe be to that state that breaks the compact. [Barack Obama] is mercifully inviting you to barbarous destruction, and men must be either rogues or fools that will not see it. I dwell not upon the vapors of imagination; I bring reason to your ears, and, in language as plain as A, B, C, hold up truth to your eyes. Yet it is folly to argue against determined hardness; eloquence may strike the ear, and the language of sorrow draw forth the tear of compassion, but nothing can reach the heart that is steeled with prejudice.

Quitting this class of men, I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light.

Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it? What signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other. Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a wh*re of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a stupid, stubborn, [arrogant, self serving] man (indeed, a narcissist and an avowed follower of Marxist priniciples). I conceive likewise a horrid idea in receiving mercy from a being, who at the last day shall be shrieking to the rocks and mountains to cover him, and fleeing with terror from the orphan, the widow, and the slain of America.

This is our situation, and who will may know it. By perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by cowardice and submission, the sad choice of a variety of evils — a ravaged country — depopulated cities — habitations without safety, and slavery without hope — [redacted] Look on this picture and weep over it! and if there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it not, let him suffer it unlamented.

On Radical Muslim Faith

There are Christians and then.... there are Christians. To paraphrase the intent of an oft repeated comment , "sitting in church doesn’t make one a Christian, any more than sitting in a henhouse makes one a hen". Truly devout Christianity, in these enlightened times, causes one to pursue a life that is based upon all the words and teachings of the Bible. It is a life long dedication to learning what is written there, and attempting to put that which is learned into practice. What one finds within those many pages is a consistent message of faith, hope and love; a dedication to peace and goodwill toward one's fellow man; and instruction to persevere in doing good, instead of evil (the golden rule).
Devoted Christians aside, there are many more who claim a Christian faith but do not truly practice it in their daily life, but rather simply go through the ceremonial motions. Go to church a couple times a year on Easter Sunday and during the Christmas holidays, or maybe attend every Sunday, maybe even Sunday evening and Wednesday evening .
 
Singer Amy Grant once had a song make popular in religious circles that said:
 
I know a man maybe you know him too,

You never can tell, he might even be you,

He knows the books of the bible, and John 3:16,

He's got the biggest King James that you've ever seen.

Spiritual tummy, he can't take too much,

One day a week he gets a spiritual rush,

On Sunday he puts on his spiritual best,

And gives his language a spiritual rest.

You are probably asking your self right now, "Where is he going with this? I thought he was going to talk about Muslims." Well in case you missed it, that is exactly what I am doing.

There are Muslims, and then......there are Muslims. If you listen to the Establishment Media (EM) or the ObamaNationistas, you may be led to believe that Islam is either a religion of peace, or that the only kind of Muslim that we have in the United States is the ceremonial kind, the ones who may or may not bow to the east five times a day, but who otherwise, for all intents and purposes, are just everyday American citizens with the same values, goals and sentiments as the rest of us, and in some, (maybe even many) cases, this is no doubt true, but to trivialize the Muslim faith by assuming that there is no real devotion to the writings of their bible, the Koran, is reckless and dangerous presumption. Like it or not, the problem that we must deal with sooner or later in this country is not associated with the ceremonial group, but rather curiously with the truly committed to all the writings in the Koran, the ones that share a similar devotion to faith and guiding principles with our most faithful Christians. Unfortunately, however, the writings that these radical and devout Muslims follow, which are found in the Koran, do not promote the same values as the Bible but rather, are filled with a dedication to anger, malice, violence and destruction, even to the murder of all non Muslims,............who they call Infidels.

Much of the evidence that has thus far been uncovered clearly indicates that Major Nidal Malik Hasan committed the Fort Hood atrocities because he is a radical and devout follower of Mohammed and yet, the EM have hardly even mentioned it. Instead, they prefer to look for the blame for his heinous acts somewhere else. He was unable to find a wife. He felt angry because someone once called him a "camel jockey". He was upset because he may have been deployed to the Middle East (He's a psychiatrist, he would not have been a combatant, and the media is still unclear as to whether or not he was even considered for deployment). Whatever! The good folks within the EM and the ObamaNationistas are desperately trying to make us believe that something other than his radical faith in the teachings of the Koran caused him to just "crack".

 In the American justice system, if a man and his wife have a strong disagreement that escalates into violence, and he ends up killing her, a good defense may be that he just "cracked". The media term is, ‘a crime of passion’. On the other hand, if that same man goes out and buys himself a couple of hand guns, gives away his most precious possessions, says goodbye to his family and then goes home and shoots his wife to death, that my friends, is called premeditated murder or murder in the first degree.

 If Major Hasan had spontaneously lashed out in anger at someone who called him a "camel jockey", or a "rag head", one might accept that he simply “cracked” , and committed ‘a crime of passion’. But when a man who is reputed to be a devout Muslim, who for months, or even years, has been professing support for terrorists and acts of terrorism against America follows this same pattern, and then uses those purchased hand guns to murder, indiscriminately, fellow soldiers at an American military facility while shouting, "Allahu Akbar" (God is great!), That my friends is premeditated murder, and another blatant act of terrorism on American soil.............by another Muslim terrorist.

In yet in an obvious attempt to ignore the plight of the victims while excusing and/or justifying the conduct of the murderer, Army Chief of Staff, General George Casey Jr. stated on Meet the Press yesterday morning, "Loss of diversity, would be worse than jihad murder: “Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse". Spoken like a true politician General Casey!! Why don’t you make that speech to the families of the fallen?

It is time for the ‘I'm OK, your OK’ generation who are trying to destroy the moral values of this country, the Establishment Media, the ObamaNationistas, Homeland Security, the FBI, politically correct military officers like, General Casey, and Fort Hood base commander Lt. General Cone (who said that “the evidence did not point to terrorism” sic), to stop making excuses. What has happened in this country that we are no longer willing to call a spade a spade, for fear that we may hurt our careers or appear to be politically incorrect? Even the doctors who worked with Major Hasan were said to be so "creeped out" by him that they purposely steered patients away from him, but were afraid to report his behavior to their superiors. As a collective consequence of reluctance, pacifism or apathy, on the part of those whom we rely upon to protect us, 13 souls departed this life last week, 30 more lay wounded, some critically, and 43 families are grieving. And every true patriot in this nation grieves with them.

 Wake up America, before it's too late!!

Give Me A Break!!

I heard about the afternoon carnage at Fort Hood yesterday, while driving in from Plano and, upon arriving home, went straight to the computer and sent the following little note out to my wife and some of our friends and family:

"Sooooo U.S. Army Major Malik Hassan (now deceased), with the possible assistance of two other American soldiers, kills 12 and injures another 30+ at Fort Hood and it is uncertain whether it is a political act or just a case of some Arab Muslim in an American uniform who just cracked after having served in Iraq? I would laugh at the ridiculously implied denial if it were not such an undeniable, serious and tragic act of terrorism on U.S. soil. Wake up America!! "

She instantly fired back:

"YES!!!! They immediately come out with, "It isn't an act of terrorism...but we are not releasing the name right now..." I knew right then it was a Muslim.....AND the FBI went in right away....that doesn't happen on military bases....even Fox...won't "speculate" on whether it was terrorism or not....GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! The mall shootings...the guy who blew himself up outside the stadium...the freeway killer....GEE...they're all Muslims but it isn't terrorism."

Although the establishment media initially reported that Major Hasan had been killed, it has since been reported by CNN, ABC and others that he is in fact not dead. Rather, his condition is now described as stable.

This incredible act which apparently was perpetrated upon these, and all of the other innocent victims by Major Nidal Malik Hasan (and possible accomplices) is horrific, but it is just another in a series of incidents of domestic terrorism (yes by Muslim terrorists) that the establishment media and this current administration continue to deny the existence of.

Let’s give a quick factual review of what led up to this atrocity:
Nidal Malik Hasan was born about 1969 in Arlington Virginia. He apparently graduated from high school about 1988. He joined the army about 1988-89. By 2003 he had received a bachelors degree from Virginia Tech and a doctorate from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD., graduating with a degree in Osteopathy and later finished his residency as a psychiatrist at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. (all paid for by the U.S. Army -courtesy of 'we the people') He was promoted to the rank of Major in May 2009 after completing a fellowship in Disaster and Preventive Psychiatry at the Center for Traumatic Stress. He was subsequently advised that he would be deployed to Iraq in November , and that's when the (you know what) hit the fan . Major Hasan immediately hired an attorney in an attempt to get out of the military. He was soon advised by his attorney that he was unable to accomplish this, even if the Major paid back the money for his education, one that most other Americans could only dream of obtaining, he would still have to fulfill his current enlistment obligations which included deployment in Iraq. Major Hasan's response to this conclusion was yesterday's rampage.

According to establishment media news reports, Fort Hood base commander, Lt. General Cone, said the motive for the attack, which took place just after 1:30 p.m. CT, is unclear. While he said he could not rule out the incident as an act of terrorism, evidence does not support that theory.
That same media quoted Hasan's cousin Nader Hasan saying that she believed it was his upcoming deployment combined with the wartime horror stories he heard from his patients that set him off. Those same media sources also recorded cousin Nader Hasan saying that mass murderer Nidal Hasan was harassed after 9/11 because of his ethnicity, and was called a "camel jockey".

So some people may have called him names because he was an Arab Muslim,.......and that is more important for the establishment media to talk about than the fact that he has received a full ride education courtesy of the government (read taxpayers) with several years of applied medicine under his belt by the age of 39. Yeah,... this country has certainly not been very good to people like Nidal Malik Hasan. Unbelievable!!!! I cannot find the words to express the outrage that I feel when I read these transparent attempts to rationalize, or even justify acts such as this when they are committed in these modern times by Muslims. I agree with my wife. Give me a break!!

Why I Can't Pray For The Success Of This President, (part 4 of 4)

This updated article was originally published on March 20, 2009 at: http://denniskey.blogspot.com
                 
  
         Subtitle:  And Do We Still Not Dare Call It Treason?


The first time I was in Italy on business, I noticed that people in the major cities frequently did not stop at an intersection when the light was red. I don't mean that they tried to get through before it turned red, like we sometime see (or do) in the US, I mean that coming up to a light that was completely red, they frequently did not stop, especially taxicab drivers. My German colleague, with whom I was traveling, said that the practice had become so pervasive that at especially busy times in the day, some cab drivers would stop when the light was green, for fear that other cab drivers might not stop at the red.  I found the same non-stopping practice in Taiwan, and my Taiwanese colleague explained that in his country, the color of the traffic signal was viewed only as an advisory, not as an imperative.

In an interestin parallel, distinguishing in the behavior and quotes, both written and oral, of Barack Hussein Obama, is his disregard (even contempt), for the US constitution, the content of which he seems to view, "only as an advisory, not as an imperative".

Let's review the following excerpts from the Constitution:.........
Article I, Section 3: No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States. . . . . . . .
Article II, Section 1: 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;. . . . . . . .
...........and consider these points:
***His African grandmother has said that she was in the room in Kenya when Barack was born. (Her
input is being completely ignored by the courts and by main stream media).
***He claims to have been born in Hawaii, but cannot, or will not, produce legal verification. (So far the
courts have refused to hear, and main stream media has ignored or ridiculed the evidence against him).
***He has spent mega $$$ (reputed to be over two and a half million dollars to-date), to deny anyone access to his birth records, (or
any of his school records) anywhere in the world, (which blatantly suggests that he has premeditated to hide the facts of his national origin, how his ivy league education was funded and how he fared in any educational endeavor, from the elementary grades through law school ).
***His mother was maybe only seventeen when he was born; meaning, she was under the legal age to pass on US citizenship to her son if she gave birth to him while out of the country. (The courts and main stream media have completely ignored or ridiculed this suggestion as well).

The outright refusal by Barack Hussein Obama to produce legal birth records, and the preponderance of evidence against his natural citizenship, suggest collusion by Obama, some federal judges, and perhaps even Supreme Court justices, to defraud the nation, by violation of Article 1, Section 3 of the Constitution during his candidacy, and ultimate election to the Senate, and violation of Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, during his candidacy, and ultimate election to the Presidency. Why would so much detail have been applied to the Constitution by our nation's framers if we were to be allowed to ignore the requirements, or simply take the "word" of the candidate, no questions asked?

Article II, Section 1: Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Although he has sworn to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, Obama's written and oral statements before, and after his election, testify to his real intentions regarding that hallowed document.  From his book, The Audacity of Hope, pages 89-92, we read the following excerpt:
“When we get in a tussle, we appeal to the Founding Fathers and the Constitution's ratifiers to give direction.
Some, like Justice Scalia, conclude that the original understanding must be followed and if we obey this rule, democracy is respected.
Others, like Justice Breyers, insist that sometimes the original understanding can take you only so far--that on the truly big arguments, we have to take context, history, and the practical outcomes of a decision into account.
I have to side with Justice Breyer's view of the Constitution--that it is not a static but rather a living document and must be read in the context of an ever-changing world. I see democracy as a conversation to be had. According to this conception, the genius of Madison's design is not that it provides a fixed blueprint for action. It provides us with a framework and rules, but all its machinery are designed to force us into a conversation.”

I don't know about you, but this ridiculous distortion of the intent of the founders and ratifiers, in particular Madison, sounds very much like, ". . . . . . the color of the traffic signal (or the US Constitution) is viewed only as an advisory, not as an imperative".

Article III, Section 3: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Once again, his written and oral statements before, and after his election, testify to his real intentions regarding his respect (or lack thereof) for the words of our Constitution.

In his book entitled, The Audacity of Hope, Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, by Barack Hussein Obama, published October, 2006, we find written:
"In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

The Obama camp has dismissed reports claiming that he said in the book, "If the political winds shift in and ugly direction, I will stand with the Muslims." From the direct statement quoted above, it would seem that people have rightly concluded that in summary, Obama was actually saying, yeah you guessed it, “should the political winds shift in an ugly direction, I will stand with the Arabs and Pakistanis (Muslims)".

Sooo we find another Democrat president arguing semantics with the American people:

January 21, 1998-Bill Clinton's telephone interview with Roll Call
Q: You said in a statement today that you had no improper relationship with this intern. What exactly was the nature of your relationship with her?
A: Well, let me say, the relationship was not improper, and I think that's important enough to say. But because the investigation is going on and because I don't know what is out – what's going to be asked of me, I think I need to cooperate, answer the questions, but I think it's important for me to make it clear what is not. And then, at the appropriate time, I'll try to answer what is. But let me answer – it is not an improper relationship and I know what the word means. So let's just –
Q: Was it in any way sexual?
A: The relationship was not sexual. And I know what you mean, and the answer is no.

And now let us consider some more troubling facts:
During his initial week in office, after having been sworn in as President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, deliberately addressed his first official telephone call to Mahmoud Abbas, a Muslim, and leader of the Fatah party in the Palestinian territory of Gaza.  Later that same day he ordered the closing of the Guantanamo Bay Muslim terrorist holding facility, the cessation of all military trials of the Muslim detainees at that facility, including those implicated in the 9/11 bombings, withdrew all charges against the Muslim masterminds behind the terrorist attacks on the USS Cole and 9/11 and ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
Then, in the same deliberate manner, he then granted his first official, one-on-one interview, as President of the United States, to Al Arabia television.
We subsequently learned that the Obama administration had earmarked $20M of additional aid to Palestinians in the Gaza region, bringing the total US commitment to $60M, (some have said that as much as $800M has been committed to the Palestinians), after the Democrats gained control of Congress and the White House. This in spite of the well publicized fact that Gaza militants rained thousands of missiles upon Israel until the only reasonable response by Israel was an offensive, then the Palestinians asked the international community for aid, and they responded favorably, and now in spite of the fact that Hamas continues to hijack the aid trucks, keeping them from reaching their intended targets, the civilian 'victims'. Furthermore, a generous part of this new commitment of US aid is specifically intended to assist in the migration to America of thousands of Palestinian Muslim 'refugees'.

His association with terrorists, Muslim terrorists, terrorist organizations, communists, socialists, and others that wish to do America harm are well documented, and he has indeed given aid to the enemy, by word and deed, during a time of war. What more does one need to do in order to be in violation of the clause which states: Treason against the United States, shall consist . . . . . . in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. (see also Introspection: Show Me The Company You Keep, And I'll Tell You Who You Are 11/4/2009)

Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,. . . . . .
The Constitution guarantees to every state in the Union a Republican Form of Government, yet the Obama administration, by principle, by statement and by actions, advocates a system of socialism; Such things as providing universal health care, taking aggressive action to take away from those who have earned the most while producing the most and redistributing to those who have produced the least (or nothing), a plethora of entitlement programs, systematic nationalization of corporations such as banks and other industries such as auto makers, increasing social welfare, attempting to force industry in America into unionizing all labor (Where employed, the irrefutable, and greatest contributor to the downfall of American competitiveness in many world markets is US trade unions.), etc.
republicanism (guaranteed by the Constitution):A system that is based upon a state or nation in which the supreme power rests in all the citizens entitled to vote , and is exercised by representatives elected directly or indirectly by them and responsible to them.
socialism (in Communist doctrine): The stage of society coming between the capitalist stage and the communist stage, in which private ownership of the means of production and distribution has been eliminated, as in the Soviet Union , and the production of goods is sufficient to permit realization of the slogan, from each according to his ability, to each according to his work.
Article VI: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution . . . . ..
When Obama was sworn in as president, as all presidents before him had done, he said "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Article VI clearly states that he is bound by that oath or affirmation to support the Constitution. By his conduct and comments it would seem to be his view that this oath is perhaps irrelevant to the 21st Century as well.

Excerpts from the Bill of Rights:
Article III: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The continual, and unprecedented, public attacks by Obama upon private citizens like Joe the plumber, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and public companies like Fox News and Conservative talk radio in general, is a indicative of his disdain for the principles that were the foundation of Article III.

Article IV: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Obama is intent upon restricting and/or denying citizens the right of the people to keep and bear arms, by registration, by taxation , by confiscation, or by the redefining of the intent of Article IV to mean "guns for hunting", all this in direct violation of the expressed intent and verbiage of Article IV, which was to insure the defense of the nation, with such defense capability growing from the smallest unit, the family domicile.

Article XII: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Obama is intent upon creating and/or expanding central government power beyond anything ever before conceived in American history.

And so in summary we must conclude the following:
****Barack Hussein Obama is not a natural born citizen and therefore, his election to Congress and to the Presidency violated Article I, Section 3, and Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.
****Obama, promotes a socialist form of government , in violation of Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution, which guarantees a republican form.
****He promotes the expansion of central government control, in violation of states rights, as defined in Article XII of the Bill of Rights.
****He has attacked the free speech of American citizens and threatens to deprive them of the right to dissent, (with actions such as those found in the so called "Fairness Doctrine"), in violation of Article III of the Bill of Rights.
****He is determined to disarm America’s law abiding citizens, in violation of Article IV of the Bill of
Rights.
****He has given (and continues to give) aid and comfort to our enemies, even now when we are at war, in
violation of Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution, which defines his actions as Treason!

As we review all of the many ways that Barack Hussein Obama, his liberal administration, the majority liberal Congress and the liberally dominated Supreme Court ignore or disrespect the purposes and directions of the Constitution, it is easy for the lay person to conclude that this noble document is no longer being enforced or revered by those who have sworn to uphold it's integrity.

"I might love, but never emulate, white men and brown men whose fates (do not) didn’t speak to my own. It (is) was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that (I've) I’d packed all the attributes I (seek) sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm , DuBois and Mandela. (Barack Hussein Obama, Dreams From My Father, A Story Of Race And Inheritance! )

And so I wonder, what shall America do with one who would continually, and pervasively, spit upon our freedom, our faith, our national heritage and our history? He does so because, as you see in his own words, he does not regard these things to be his freedom, his faith, his national heritage or his history.

Obama has frequently declared that Abraham Lincoln is the president that he most wants to emulate, but Lincoln’s intellectual hero was, Thomas Jefferson! From the biography, Thomas Jefferson, published by Mr. R.B. Bernstein, we find the following view of Alexander Hamilton: "Jefferson feared that Hamilton had plans radically at odds with the Constitution. As [Jefferson] saw it, Hamilton wanted to warp the federal government out of constitutional shape, converting it into a copy of the British government, built on debt, corruption, and influence. Hamilton's goal, Jefferson charged, was to ally the rich and well-born with the government, at the people's expense, creating a corrupt aristocracy leagued with the government against the people and destroying the virtue that was the basis of republican government."
This view of Alexander Hamilton, just attributed to Jefferson, clearly describes the objectives of Barack Hussein Obama (but not Lincoln or Jefferson). It is also the view of advisors, colleagues and appointees that he has brought into close association within his administration, including his own Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geitner. Jefferson wanted a strict interpretation of the Constitution, to give more power to the states, while Hamilton favored a broad interpretation to strengthen the central government. Jefferson wanted to give the common people more opportunities to participate in government, while Hamilton believed that ‘commoners’ were too ignorant, and therefore incapable of self-government.

In 1776 A.D., Patrick Henry, a great patriot of the American Revolution, uttered this passionate and immortalized statement, "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death. He was captured. . . . . and hanged. . . . . during the Revolution, one of many who fought and died for my freedom . . . .and yours. I will not willingly give up my freedom, which those who came before us protected with their very lives. From American history books, we can read of the great sacrivices that were made so that we could live as we have lived, in Freedom. True, and profound, is the well known statement, "All gave some; and Some gave all"

Nor will I give up my faith in the God of Creation whom I serve, or side with those who stand for everything that is contrary to Him.
In (~) 1452 B.C., Joshua, a great patriarch of the Bible, said, "If serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, . . . But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord".
And so, I must pray that Barack Hussein Obama's evil plan to destroy all that we hold dear, will fail. I will surely pray that he will, "let us live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness". And though I may pray that God will change Obama's heart, and that he will turn to Him for guidance, I cannot and I will not pray for the success of one who heads such an onerous agenda, which is wrong in every way!

Why I Can't Pray For The Success Of This President, (part 3 of 4)

 This article was originally published on March 13, 2009 at: http://denniskey.blogspot.com 
          
      Subtitle:  Show Me The Company You Keep, And I'll Tell You Who You Are

Was it comedian Richard Pryor who once quipped, “Are you going to believe me, or are you going to believe your lying eyes”? No matter, but the thought immediately has put me in mind of a cartoon that I once saw, in which a wife came home unexpectedly and caught her husband in bed with another woman. As the wife stood in stunned silence, the adulterous couple quietly dressed and she (the other woman), slipped out the front door while he (the husband), simply sat down and began to read the paper. After a few more moments of silence the wife finally spoke.
“Well”, she emphatically asked?
“Well what”, calmly answered the husband?
“Well, are you going to tell me about that woman”, she cried?
“Am I going to tell you about what woman, dear”, he replied?

These two attempts at humor are perhaps analogous of the real facts of our lives today. No matter what treasonous thing Barack Hussein Obama says (or has said), either orally or in print, no matter what he does (or has done) to harm or destroy the moral and/or ethical values of America, no matter what destructive action he has already taken (or plans to take) and no matter what disturbing , unsettling, or outright unconstitutional thing that is revealed about him through independent investigation or in the course of evolving events, his handlers, his rabid supporters and the complicit main stream media find some way to either justify or dismiss the obvious truth, in favor of a lie. To ignore the associated negative.

We have found that Obama and the new administration do not like to be called, socialists or communists, but someone once said, "Birds of a feather, flock together", and we find this statement to be broadly accurate. Christians seek the association of other Christians, Muslims seek the association of other Muslims, Conservatives seek the association of other Conservatives, Liberals seek the associations of other Liberals, (I could go on and on), Canadian geese seek......well, you get the point! But really, ...white horses even prefer the company of other white horses, and colored horses like to hang with other colored horses. I know, I once raised them. And it is surely, and emphatically true as well that Socialists seek the association and company of other Socialists.

In his first book, Dreams From My Father, A Story of Race and Inheritance, by Barack Hussein Obama, published in August, 2004, we find written:
"I might love, but never emulate, white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm , DuBois and Mandela.

Malcolm X was a black racist leader of the "Nation of Islam" who in
denouncing capitalism and the American free enterprise system once said : "It is impossible for this system, this economic system, this political system, this social system, this system period, to produce freedom for the Afro-American”.
 
DuBois, an outspoken black American Communist, was recruited by Soviet agents in 1926 and spent the better part of his life supporting the violent overthrow of America. In 1959, he was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize by the Soviets. He later renounced his US citizenship and moved to Ghana.

Nelson Mandela was the leader of the African National Congress (ANC) , a terrorist group that waged a guerrilla insurgency against the white regime in South Africa for decades. The ANC was formally allied with the South African Communist Party and collaborated with the Soviet Union. At his trial for sedition during 1963-64, the prosecution produced pages from a Mandela essay titled, “How To Be A Good Communist” . In it, Mandela wrote: “Under a Communist Party government, South Africa will become a land of milk and honey. . . . Without a hard, bitter, and long struggle against capitalism and exploitation, there can be no Communist world. The cause of Communism is the greatest cause in the history of mankind” . (Source:
ANC: A Soviet Task Force, National Review, March 13, 1987). The African National Congress became notorious for the heinous tactic of “necklacing” its opponents and detractors. A person who was 'necklaced' typically had a tire pushed down over his head and arms, was drenched in gasoline and then set on fire. Winnie Mandela, a former wife of Nelson, once bragged: “With our boxes of matches and our necklaces we will liberate this country.”

To my knowledge, Barack Hussein Obama has never recanted his statements , and if he considered, and still considers, the character traits of these three Socialist, Communist and/or America hating figures as ‘attributes’, and “attributes which he sought (seeks) in himself”, how can he ever produce a national environment that fosters the continued opportunity to “live peaceful and quiet lives, in godliness and holiness", as has been suggested in Romans 12: . As president, how can he ever do anything other than destroy, unless he somehow becomes someone completely different than he has thus shown himself to be?

It is difficult, however, to imagine how Barack could have grown up to be anything other than what he is. The family that he was born into, and raised by, was the antithesis of a typical family, (as we who are Americans know a typical family to be). His mother, Stanley Anne Dunham, was said to be married to the Kenyan Muslim, Barack Obama Sr. when she was only seventeen, and studying at the University of Hawaii, and had Barack Jr shortly thereafter. Sr. abandoned them within two years and shortly thereafter Jr’s mother was said to have married an Indonesian Muslim, Lolo Soetoro, and moved, to be with him, in Jakarta, Indonesia, where mother and child adopted Indonesian citizenship, and Jr became known as Barry Soetoro. By the time Barry was 10, however, he was no longer living with either of his birth parents but rather, back in Hawaii with his white maternal grandparents, who raised him through his adolescent years.

It was Barry’s maternal grandfather who introduced him to his own good friend, a black man by the name of Frank Marshall Davis. Davis was to become Barry's first, and perhaps his most influential mentor. So close was their association that Barry began to call him, Uncle Frank. In spite of his friendship with Barry's white grandparents, the infamous Davis, a Communist activist
(and self confessed Hedonist and bisexual pedophile) taught the youth that white people were consummate demons and that blacks were hapless souls, being eternally "victimized" by whites. In his memoir, Obama recounts how he visited Uncle Frank on several occasions, apparently at junctures when he was grappling with racial issues, to seek his counsel. In 1979, Obama is said to have graduated with honors from the esteemed Punahou Academy high school. During the time that he pondered his advanced academic plans, "Uncle Frank" explained to him that securing a degree from a university included accepting, "an advanced degree in compromise" that was designed to keep blacks in their place. Obama quoted him as saying: "Understand something, boy. You're not going to college to get educated. You’re going there to get trained." He added that "they'll ......let you know that you may be a well-trained, well-paid ni***r, but you're a ni***r just the same."

Obama claims to have studied at Occidental College in Los Angeles for two years, and then to have transferred to Columbia University in New York, where he is said to have graduated in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in political science. He took a corporate job for a couple of years and then moved to Chicago in 1985, where he has said that he worked as a community organizer with low-income residents in Chicago’s Roseland community and the Altgeld Gardens public housing development on the city’s South Side. During this time, he also visited relatives in Kenya, for the first time, to meet his paternal family and while there, visited the graves of his father and paternal grandfather.

Along the way to the presidency, young Barry Soetoro, who eventually reverted to the use of his birth name, Barack Hussein Obama, was befriended by a strange group of people, including the hate-spewing radical, Rev. Louis Farrakhan, and the raving Father Michael Phleger, the radical Islamist Khalid Rashidi, his close friends (and neighbors) the William Ayers, and to equally-close friends “Tony” and Rita Rezko – Tony being the notorious “fixer” , who was convicted and is now serving time in a federal prison for fraud, bribery, and money laundering. What did (does) the seemingly mild-mannered Obama find so irresistible in these angry and/or crooked people and others like them?

Obama entered Harvard Law School in 1988. In February 1990, he was elected the first African–American editor of the Harvard Law Review. Obama says that he graduated magna c*m laude in 1991. It has been suggested, and there seems to be a good deal of evidence to test to the veracity of the suggestion, that Obama’s acceptance at Harvard Law – and payment for his tuition – were facilitated by "friends" who had taken an unusual interest in the young community organizer.Among them was Percy Sutton, a former Manhattan borough president and ardent leftist, who was also Malcolm X’s lawyer. In an interview last year, the octogenarian Sutton stated: “I was introduced to [Obama] by a friend". The friend’s name was Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, and the introduction is said to have occurred about 20 years ago.” Sutton described al-Mansour as “the principle adviser to one of the world’s richest men” and suggested that al-Mansour was raising money for Obama. Knowing that Sutton had friends at Harvard, al-Mansour asked him if he would write a letter to Harvard recommending Obama, which Sutton did most agreeably. This took place about 1988 when 27-year-old Obama was applying to Harvard Law.

After law school, Obama returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer, joining the firm of Miner, Barnhill & Galland. He also taught at the University of Chicago Law School. And he helped organize voter registration drives during
Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign.

In 1995, Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district's influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. While
Ayers and Dohrn may be thought of in Hyde Park as local activists, they are better known nationally as two of the most notorious, and unrepentant figures from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement, as charter members of the underground Weather Men terrorist organization. I say unrepentant without danger of being refuted, since as late as 2001 William Ayers was quoted by the New York Times as saying, "I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough". The Ayers eventually became neighbors and close friends with the Obamas.

During Obama's unsuccessful bid for the US House of Representatives in 2000, a fundraiser was organized and hosted in the home of the radical Islamist, Rashid Khalidi, who was at the time, a Middle East professor at the University of Chicago, but later transferred to Columbia University. The Pro-Palestinian movement on Columbia’s campus is now led by Khalidi, who holds the Edward Said Chair for Middle East Studies, and was previously a director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982 (this was at a time that the US State Department considered the PLO a terrorist organization). Therefore, Columbia now has a “former” terrorist employed as a professor. Khalidi was a major factor in Columbia’s decision to bring the Iranian leader and Islamist, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to speak on campus. Both men call for the destruction of Israel with Khalidi praising the 4-year Palestinian second intifida which left hundreds of Israelis dead. He has also called Israel an “apartheid system in creation” and a “racist state”. At a going away party for Khalidi in 2004, to celebrate his new professorship at Columbia, Obama gave a glowing testimonial on his behalf. Subsequently, Obama’s friend Khalidi, on his second try, succeeded in bringing his friend and ideological ally, Ahmadinejad, a modern day Hitler-like Jew hater, to a world stage at Columbia University.

Raila Odinga, of Kenya, is said to be Obama's first cousin. He is also a Marxist and a Muslim who engaged in ghastly atrocities against Christians in 1982 and served 8 years in prison for his part. In 2006 he ran for president of Kenya. He was backed by the Muslim community in Kenya. In return for Muslim backing, Odinga promised to impose a number of measures favored by Muslims if he were elected president. Among these were recognition of "Islam as the only true religion," Islamic leaders would have an "oversight role to monitor activities of ALL other religions [emphasis in original]," installation of Shariah courts in every jurisdiction, a ban on Christian preaching, replacement of the police commissioner who "allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists," adoption of a women's dress code, and bans on alcohol and pork. He also received the support of (you guessed it, didn't you), Senator Barack Hussein Obama, who took time out from his congressional duties to travel to Africa and stump for Odinga as he tried and failed to win in 2007, being defeated by President Mwai Kibaki who sought, and was re-elected to, a second term. Odinga and Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya, and Obama spoke on behalf of Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Obama announced. "Kenyans are now yearning for change," he declared. The intent of Obama's remarks
and actions was transparent to Kenyans - he was firmly behind Odinga. The day after the election, machete wielding terrorists who supported Odinga began a blood letting against Christians that ended with over
1500 dead and 500,000 displaced from their homes. In exchange for his agreement to stop the violence, Odinga was made Prime Minister of Kenya, second only to the president of the country, like our Vice-President.

Barack Hussein Obama, is a man who has said that his mother's family was not religious, and whose father and stepfather were both Muslim men, and who by his own admission remembers being schooled in the Koran but not the Holy Bible. But wait, he “converted” to Christianity didn't he? In Chicago, Obama joined the all black, Trinity United Church of Christ, which was led by the radical racist, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose decades-long anti-American and anti-Semitic rants apparently resonated in Obama, and augmented his search for "the attributes that he sought in himself". Incredibly, Obama has said that in over 20 years of regular attendance, he heard nothing inflammatory or anti-American, from the "right reverend" Wright, and never saw the videotapes of any sermon, although each one was unfailingly recorded. At his first opportunity after the terrorist attacks of September 11, Wright raged from the pulpit, “God damn America. The chickens have come home to roost,” to the absolute delight of his whooping and hollering congregation,.......... but Obama is said to have heard nothing.

In the case of his relationship with Rezko, (an Arab) Obama has also been slow to acknowledge the full extent of his relationship. Recently, he revealed that Rezko had raised some $250,000 in campaign contributions for him. The campaign had initially claimed Rezko connected contributions were no more than $60,000, an amount the campaign donated to charity. Then the figure grew to around $86,000, and there were additional revelations that put the amount at about $150,000. Obama’s $250,000 accounting was a substantial jump and clearly contradicted earlier campaign statements that Rezko was just one of “thousands of donors.” Obama was initially vague about Rezko’s role in helping him buy a new home on Chicago’s south side. Unable to afford an adjacent vacant lot the seller wanted to sell at the same time as the house, Obama approached Rezko. Rezko’s wife bought the lot on the same day Obama bought the house, and then later, Mrs. Rezko sold the Obamas a strip of the lot which gave the Obamas a larger backyard. Obama called it a “bone-headed” mistake but never revealed, until much later , that Rezko had actually toured the house with him and been deeply involved in the transaction.

Since beginning his run for the presidency, Obama has tried to distance himself from his ties to Islamic activists, socialists, communists, felons, terrorists and “former” terrorists,.... and the mainstream media, along with his blinded drone-like followers, seem to simply give him a free pass on all of it.

Nevertheless, as my Cherokee great-grandmother used to say in her revision of an old quote,

"Show me the company that you keep, and I'll tell you who you are".

Why I Can't Pray For The Success Of This President, (part 2 of 4)

 This article has been excerpted from one that was originally published on March 6, 2009 at: http://denniskey.blogspot.com  
           
Subtitle:  If It Walks Like A Duck, And Quacks Like A Duck.......

Sam Vaknin, Ph.D., considered by many to be the world's leading expert on narcissism, and the author of a 2003 book release entitled, Malignant Self Love, Narcissism Revisited, states that, “Barack Hussein Obama's language, posture, demeanor, and the testimonies of those who are closest to him suggest that (this president) may have a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) , which is characterized by the projection of a grandiose but false image of oneself.”

The now infamous Jim Jones, charismatic leader of the People's Temple, who led over 900 of his followers to murder their own children and cheerfully commit mass suicide, was a classic narcissist. So was Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, Kim Jong Ill, Saddam Hussein, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara, Idi Amin, and even David Koresh, and Charles Manson, all of whom, by manipulation of the emotions and character of their followers, eventually reeked havoc upon them, and upon many others around them. These dubious men from world history, created adoring cult mentalities round about themselves and, with blazing speeches elevated their admirers, filling their hearts with enthusiasm and instilling within their minds a new zest for life. They gave them hope! They promised them the moon, but invariably brought them to their doom. Alas, when you are a victim of a cult personality, you don't know it until it is too late.

Dr. Vaknin continues, “One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse. Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations. His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant (two years old). Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident. Then his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia, a foreign land with a radically foreign culture. At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979. She died of cancer in 1995.”

Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract, and (a cash) advance, to write a book about race relations. His subsequent work eventually morphed into, not a scholarly paper focusing on race relations for which he had been paid but instead, his own autobiography. He entitled the book, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance. Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography, when he was still a nobody. So did Joseph Stalin. For a narcissist, no subject is as important as his own self.

Dr. Vaknin continues, “I must confess I was impressed by Senator Barack Obama from the first time I saw him. At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He (was) youthful, (well spoken), confident; a wholesome presidential package. But I was soon put off, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling. His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words. Obama's speeches are unlike any political speeches we have heard in American history. Never has a politician in this land had such quasi "religious" impact on so many people. The fact that Obama is a total incognito with zero accomplishment makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming.

“Obama is not an ordinary man, neither is he a genius. In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects. Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objective (they are just distractions), says Vaknin. They are focused on one thing , (and one thing alone), and that is power. All other issues are meaningless to them and they (are unwilling) to waste their precious time on trivialities. Anything that does not help them, is beneath them, and does not deserve their attention.”

Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no real threat to others, but are simply self serving and self indulgent. These traits are clearly evidenced by Obama's lack of interest in his own brother, and Kenyan grandmother, who each are said to live on only one dollar per month. A man who lives in luxury, who not so long ago traveled by private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who is said to have raised over $800M, for his presidential campaign, a feat unprecedented in American history, has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? Because, his brother was of no use to him in his ascent to power.

“(Different in the case of ) Barack Obama is the evidenced symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is (quite) different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or a Bill Clinton for example. This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw, (and this is what makes a pathologic narcissist dangerous, even treacherous), says Dr. Vaknin. One must never underestimate the manipulative (power) of (a) pathologic narcissist. (He) projects such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around him, and charmed by his charisma , people become like clay in his hands. They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service.”

“What (could) be more dangerous than having a man bereft of conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world? I hate to sound alarmist, says Vaknin, but one has been fooled if one is not alarmed.”

My dear friends and family, I do not apologize for allowing the content of this message to rely so heavily on the writings of Dr Vaknin, for I cannot presume myself to be an expert on the mental health issues, that he is noted for. But from my own perspective, the colloquialism that states, 'If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, then it is probably a duck',  formed the basis for the intent of this written piece.

The peace of this world depends on the strength of America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations. It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castroists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists, and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled to have “their man” in the White House. Can there be a worse insanity than electing a pathological narcissist as president? Someone once said, “What we learn from history is that we do not learn.” Pray for our country; that we will be allowed to continue living “peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness”, but don’t pray, and don’t ask me to pray, for the success of this president, because his success, the success of his unconcealed agenda, surely portends dire consequences for all freedom loving Americans.

Why I Can't Pray For The Success Of This President, (part 1 of 4)

This article was originally published on February 27, 2009 at http://denniskey.blogspot.com

“We must pray for Obama to succeed, after all he is our president now”.

This exhortation has been voiced by a number of my friends in the aftermath of the 2008 presidential election. It is generally accompanied by a reference to bible scriptures such as Romans 13, or Titus 3:1. Contextually, the scriptures found under the aforementioned passages, which instruct us to submit to authority and follow the law, actually say nothing about praying for the success of evil (or of an evil person), even if (sadly) those who perpetrate evil intent have been placed into a position of authority over us. However, I do recognize that other text, such as is found in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, urges us to pray for those in authority, but more specifically to pray that they will "let us live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness", and furthermore, because, "He desires all men to.....come to the knowledge of the truth". In Matthew 5:44 we read and hear Jesus saying, "Love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you," and again in Luke 6:28, "Bless those who curse you and pray for those who mistreat you," but once again, the scripture does not say pray that their vile intentions will succeed, but only to pray for that person, and what could we pray for a person such as that, unless we were praying solely for his/her redemption. Certainly not for the success of evil schemes!!

Therefore, after careful study of these and other bible exhortations, I have become convinced that it would be entirely wrong to pray for the success of Barack Hussein Obama, and his unprecedented new regime of misfits, losers and felons, unless miraculously they alter their well documented course in favor of one that restores, not destroys, our nation to the God fearing basis upon which it was founded. But for now, the undisguised Muslim favoring, Anti-Christian, Socialist history, and present agenda of this administration will clearly do nothing but bring harm to this nation, and to the people of this nation. Unchecked, the success of Obama’s adamantly stated goals will just as clearly make it difficult, if not impossible, for 'we the people'  of this nation to, “live peaceful and quiet lives, in godliness and holiness”.

And so, to my fervently Christian friends and family I make this request, "Indulge me as I present my thoughts". And to my complacent Christian friends and family I shout, "Wake up!" And to my blind, deaf and still unbelieving friends and family I can only say, "Wake up-----or else-----".

In a commentary on pages 201-202 of a book entitled, The Audacity of Hope, Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, by Barack Hussein Obama, which was published October, 2006, we find the following excerpt:
“Today, white evangelical Christians are the heart and soul of the Republican Party's grassroots base. It is their issues-abortion, gay marriage, prayer in schools, intelligent design, Terri Schiavo, the posting of the Ten Commandments in the courthouse, home schooling, voucher plans, and the makeup of the Supreme Court-that often dominate the headlines and serve as one of the major fault lines in American politics. The single biggest gap in party affiliation is between those who attend church regularly and those who don't. Democrats, meanwhile, are scrambling to "get religion," even as a core segment of our constituency remains stubbornly secular, and fears that the agenda of an assertively Christian nation may not make room for them or their life choices.” He continues, “The evangelists' success points to a hunger for the product they are selling, a hunger that goes beyond any particular issue or cause. They need an assurance that somebody out there cares about them, is listening to them.”

Please notice, my dear friends, what a clear and unashamed distinction he makes,  what an indelible line he draws, between white evangelical Christians, who he affirms as 'the heart and soul of the Republican Party', and a “stubbornly secular (non-Christian) constituency,” who he affirms as, “the core segment of the Democratic Party”.

He then goes on to define a basic principle, that was later used very successfully in his campaign for the presidency: He would capture the support of the majority by using what he had characterized as the evangelical Christian tactic of, 'selling a product', thereby addressing the ‘hunger' of the majority, for personal attention.

And so successful was his sales job, that just the thought of him is said to have sent a chill up Chris Matthew’s leg; and once caused an eerily animated Oprah to repeatedly shout during a segment of her television program, “Is he the one? Could he be the one?”, to the delightful shouts, cheers and applause of her loyal studio audience.

I was uncertain, and remain so today, which “one” Oprah was referring to. Surely she could not have meant ‘The One,’ in view of opinions and attitudes found in Obama’s own book, The Audacity of Hope, wherein he had described “white evangelical Christians” as “the heart and soul of the Republican Party”, and Christian issues such as abortion, gay marriage, prayer in schools, intelligent design, Terri Schiavo, the posting of the Ten Commandments in the courthouse, home schooling, voucher plans, as “major fault lines” in American politics. And wherein he had further asserted, “the Democrat’s fear that the agenda of an assertively Christian nation may not make room for them or their life choices.”

In Romans 13:1 the apostle Paul wrote “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.” And earlier, in Romans 12:18, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” And so, because so many of this nation have ceased to follow God, or have drifted away and refused to turn back, he has now placed it under the authority of an abominable anti-Christian assembly led by, Barack Hussein Obama. And He has closed the minds, ears and eyes of those who inexplicably elected this president, and now fervently support him, such that no matter what he does, or what he says, they are unable to see the wrong. And so I pray, and I will continue to pray that God will have mercy on us, that we might be rescued from the harm that now seems sure to come. I will pray for revival, so that this nation will turn back to the fundamental morality upon which it was originally based. That it will turn back to the One who made America such a great and powerful nation, to the One who has blessed us without fail, while protecting our freedom, for over 200 years.......... And although I too wonder who Barack Hussein Obama really is, and what his place in the will and purpose of God might be? One thing I am very certain of is that he is not......The One!

He Said We're Gay, Not.......Gay!

Back in the early 70s, my aunt Wanda and her very laid back husband, Howard, ran a wedding chapel right on the strip in Las Vegas. Uncle Howard took a phone call from a man one night who said that he and his fiancée wanted to get married that very hour, and were on their way over . My uncle said that the guy had acted a little nervous and wanted to know if it was alright if they were both gay. Howard said he told them that most people in Vegas were and my Aunt Wanda went into orbit.. “Howard, “ she said, “are you so clueless. Do you not know what he was asking ? Don’t you know that gay means they are homosexual.”  Uncle Howard rushed out to meet the taxi at the curb and said, “No!! Don’t get out. No can do?” You see, my uncle Howard knew what the word gay meant, he just didn’t know what the gay guy meant when he said, “we’re both gay.”

Merriam-Webster Online defines the word, gay, in the following manner:
gay: 1 a: happily excited ;
merry ; in a gay mood b: keenly alive and exuberant ; having or inducing high spirits; a bird's gay spring song 2 a: bright; lively; gay sunny meadows b: brilliant in color 3: given to social pleasures ; also : licentious

Is it just me or is the practice of redefining the meaning and use of common words a relatively new thing? The English language is complicated enough without the meaning of a word arbitrarily shifting and changing until it means something entirely different than its original definition. I pondered this subject as I began this article because for a long time now I have refused to use the term "gay" when talking about homosexual behavior, even though it has become the preferred and politically correct form of reference. The reason for my resistance is not mean spirited or hostile, but rather simply that I can find nothing "gay" about the terrible circumstances that result from a homosexual lifestyle, and therefore find it to be a complete misuse of the term itself.

There is nothing in the Merriam-Webster definition of gay that properly defines a homosexual lifestyle, homosexual behavior or the result thereof except the curious addition of; also: licentious.  The definition of licentious is found elsewhere in that same reference file and is stated as follows:
licentious; 1: lacking legal or moral restraints ; especially : disregarding sexual restraints2: marked by disregard for strict rules of correctness
Indeed, this use of "also" adds a contrasting dark side to the otherwise bright and joyous description of the word, “gay” , as it was originally stated.

In 2002, Raphael Kazmann released the now famous results of a five year study entitled: "Homosexuality - A Public Health Problem”, which found that the average age of homosexuals who were dying with AIDS in the United States was 39. Further, that the average age of homosexuals who died of all causes was only 41. The Kazmann study thereby concluded that homosexual conduct reduced life expectancy, when compared to the general population, by at least 30 years. Studies that have been done by other parties have suggested a reduction of life expectancy for homosexuals of as much as 40 years. Upon review of several thousand case studies, the Kazmann report recorded that only about one percent of homosexuals live to the age of 65.

According to studies done by Kazmann (and others), statistically significant factors which contribute to early death for homosexuals include the following:
A homosexual is:
......literally thousands of times more likely to contract AIDS than a heterosexual......
......up to14 times more likely to contract syphilis......
......up to 23 times more likely to contract one or more of a host of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)......
......up to 45 times more likely to die in a fatal automobile accident...... A homosexual woman is twice as likely to suffer from genital warts, and four times as likely to contract scabies as a heterosexual woman. A homosexual man is 50 times more likely to be murdered than a heterosexual man.

A doctor who was quoted in the New York Times Magazine stated that, “the average homosexual is a tropical island of exotic diseases". Homosexuals make up about 4% of the total US population, yet, they contribute :
......44% of all male syphilis cases......
......50% of all venereal disease cases......
......53% of all intestinal disease cases......
......43% of all hepatitis cases......
......88% of all AIDS cases......

"Gay Bowel Syndrome" is named because of the common bowel problems they have. Including intestinal parasites, chronic infections, ulcers, and oozing blisters in or around the intestinal tracts.

Merriam-Webster Online defines homosexuality in the following manner:
homosexuality: 1 : of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex
2 : of, relating to, or involving sexual intercourse between persons of the same sex

I suggest that we stick to this unemotional, straightforward description of one who is defined by this lifestyle, and stop trying to be, “politically correct”, by giving a finer name to it , in the hope of making it more appealing

I will not call those who are living such tragic lives “gay”, because, they are not...........no matter how much they try to make us believe otherwise. My Cherokee great-grandmother used to say, “Show me the company that you keep , and I will tell you who you are.” If homosexuals were, or if they kept company with people who were, ‘happily excited’, ‘keenly alive and exuberant’ , ‘having or inducing high spirits’, they would not commit suicide at a rate that is over 60 times higher than the general population.
