WHAT HAS AMERICA BECOME?

Attached is an editorial from a Michigan newspaper that kind of covers

it all......excellent observations.

What Has America become?

Editor,

    Has America become the land of the special interest and home of the double standard?

    Let’s see: if we lie to the congress, it’s a felony and if the congress lies to us it’s just politics; if we dislike a black person, we’re racist and if a black dislikes whites, it’s their 1^st amendment right; the government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims; in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is okay, but better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it’s wrong to execute a mass murderer; we don’t burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of the communist and socialist threat by renaming them progressives; we are unable to close our border with Mexico, but have no problem protecting the 38^th parallel in Korea; if you protest against president Obama’s policies you’re a terrorist, but you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy it was your 1^st amendment right.

    You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; we have eliminated all criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus for medical research, but it’s wrong to use an animal.

    We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don’t want to work; we all support the constitution, but only when it supports our political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of opportunity is now the land of hand outs; the similarity between hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.

    And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who’s at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their re-election campaign.

    What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?

America Wants Congress to Repeal Obamacare - Now It's Time to Get to Work

By Rep. Steve King

The American people have spoken, and the message they have sent to Washington is clear: Americans want Obamacare ripped out of the U.S. Code by the roots. With their actions, America’s voters have shown that they want the 112th Congress to make Obamacare repeal a reality.

In fact, a strong case exists that the historic gains made by Republicans on Election Day were driven primarily by the American public’s determined desire for Obamacare repeal. Consider the following facts:

• An exit poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports indicates that 59% of those who voted favor repealing Obamacare, including 48% of voters who strongly favor repeal.

• As reported by Roll Call newspaper on December 3, even Democratic Senator and Obamacare supporter Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) believes that when voters went to the polls in November “voters did say ‘repeal health care.’”

• Sarah Palin’s “Take back the 20” effort targeted 20 House Democrats who had voted for Obamacare. After the votes had been counted, 18 of these Democrats had been defeated.

• National Review reports that 32 House Democrats who voted for Obamacare lost, while many of their successful Republican challengers made Obamacare repeal a cornerstone of their campaigns.

• Sixty-five% of Oklahomans and 55% of Arizonans simultaneously voted in favor of state referendums protecting their state’s citizens from Obamacare’s mandate that individuals purchase government-sanctioned health insurance.

None of these results comes as a surprise to those of us who have been active in the effort to repeal Obamacare. The election results are simply the manifestation of what we have been hearing in town-hall meetings since the legislation was forced through Congress by the leftist trio of President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid.

Having been entrusted with control of the House of Representatives, how should Republicans address the public’s unquestionable call for repeal? The answer is simple: Republicans should prove we have heard America’s message by making the passage of a clean, stand alone, 100% Obamacare repeal bill the top priority in the new Congress.

Republicans can align themselves with the voting public by quickly adopting two positions that will show the public we are serious about repealing Obamacare. 

1. We must begin by making a clean Obamacare repeal bill the first piece of legislation introduced and passed in the new session of Congress. The virtue of a “clean repeal” bill is obvious: it allows all Americans favoring repeal to successfully unite around a common goal. 

Repealing Obamacare is a difficult task even as a united team; we certainly don’t need to hamper our efforts at the beginning by drafting a clumsy “repeal and replace” bill which can only divide repeal proponents into smaller groups with conflicting “replacement” policy preferences. 

I have drafted a clean, 100% repeal bill which has garnered the support of House Republicans. This legislation, H.R. 4972, could serve as the basis for a clean, 100% repeal bill in the 112th Congress. In fact, 173 Members of Congress have already signed a discharge petition I introduced that would have forced an up or down vote on this bill.

2. The second thing that Republicans need to do is to lay the groundwork for defunding any and all efforts to implement Obamacare. Thankfully, the American people delivered the House of Representatives into Republican hands, giving Obamacare opponents the power of the purse. 

Americans expect the new Congress, bolstered by new members who made Obamacare repeal the hallmark of their campaigns, to oppose the legislation with every tool at our disposal. 

Not only should Republicans in the House zero-out any Obamacare related item in the budget, we should further protect our efforts from Democrats in the Senate by including language in every appropriations bill we pass explicitly barring any money allocated therein from being spent on implementing or enforcing any part of Obamacare.

On this latter point, we know full well that President Obama will do whatever he can to preserve the socialized health care system that now bears his name. This means that he will not only threaten to veto any successfully passed repeal bill, but that he may even threaten to shut down the government by refusing to sign individual appropriations bills that contain anti-Obamacare language. 

If Republicans include spending prohibitions in every appropriations bill, we will ensure that the president will have to explain to the American public why he places a greater priority on protecting the unpopular Obamacare bill than on ensuring the regular functioning of government. That is a political argument President Obama cannot win, and the election results of November 2 should quell any doubts about who the public will side with should such a scenario unfold.

By returning the House of Representatives to Republican control, the American people have clearly expressed a desire to turn Obamacare repeal into a legislative reality. It is time for Republicans to validate this faith by making clean, stand alone, legislation that repeals 100% of Obamacare the top priority of the 112th Congress.

Republican Congressman Steve King represents Iowa’s Fifth Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.

A CASE FOR PROFILING

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ, By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez

I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the Chosen People, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.

The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world.

These are the people we burned. And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism, and lack of tolerance, crime, and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.

And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.

We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.

What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.

A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.

Absolutely No Profiling! Pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple choice test.

These events are actual events from history. They really happened! Do you remember?

a: You guessed it - A Muslim male extremist between the age of 17 and 40.

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling. Do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

We can not allow the socialist transformation being brought on by the current administration to continue. Look at what it has done to Europe.

We all must stand together before it's too late and everything America stands for is lost.

The Jews are NOT promoting the brain-washing of children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non-Muslims. The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.

The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.

Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.

Muslims must ask what can they do for humankind before they demand that humankind respects them.

Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's part, the following two sentences really say it all:

"If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel." Benjamin Netanyahu

General Eisenhower Warned Us.

It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:

"Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened."

Recently the UK debated whether to remove 'The Holocaust' from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population, which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.

Now more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be a myth, it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center 'NEVER HAPPENED,' because it offends some Muslim in the United States?

WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST VIDEO

This is without a doubt the best video that has come out and apparently 6 Million others think so too because there have been 6 million hits in 4 days.  Please watch it again and again and send it on to others.  I believe the pendulum has started to swing so let's keep it going.   This is very well done.

IS THIS AN INSULT TO AMERICA? YOU DECIDE.

Pictured below is one of the new .44 cent stamps.

OK, you probably noticed the Islamic writing, but, what about the upper left corner? EID, which translates to oath or vow. Gee, what oath or vow did Islamic extremists take. Would it be to kill infidels, (Americans and Christians). Very fitting for an Islamic Stamp. Also, is it coincidence that EID is DIE spelled backwards? Or, is it a coincidence that EID is an anagram of IED, (Improvised Explosive Device)?

I do not believe these are coincidences and will refuse these stamps at the post office and will return to sender any mail with these stamps on it.

Is this insulting to you as an American and/or Christian? You decide.

God Bless,

HANOI JANE IS BACK !!

Never Forgive A Traitor.

For those of you too young to remember, Hanoi Jane is a bad person and did some terrible things during the Vietnam war. Things that can not be forgiven!!!! For those who served and/or died. .  .

NEVER FORGIVE A TRAITOR. SHE REALLY WAS A TRAITOR!!

And now OBAMA wants to honor  her......!!!!

In Memory of LT. C. Thomsen Wieland who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton.

This is for all the kids born in the 70's and after who do  not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our  fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to  bear. Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the '100 Women of the Century.'

BARBRA WALTERS WRITES:

Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam.

The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name  is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.

In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison the 'Hanoi Hilton.' Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and  dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a  visiting American 'Peace Activist' the 'lenient and humane treatment' he'd received.

He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward on to the camp Commandant 's feet, which sent that officer  berserk. In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.

From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the 'Hanoi Hilton', the first three of which his family only knew he was 'missing in action'. His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a 'peace delegation' visit.

They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When  paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: 'Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?' and 'Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?' Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.

She took  them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POW's, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper. Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.

I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs) We were Jane Fonda's 'war criminals....' When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with  her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POW's received, and how different it was from the  treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as 'humane and lenient.'

Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with large steel weights placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.

I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.

These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should  be honored as part of '100 Years of Great Women.'  Lest we forget....' 100 Years of Great Women' should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.

There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that we will never forget.
