  • Take off the blinders

    I received the following via email ... I already knew this and hoping you do as well

     

    Obama's Not Exactly's:

    1.) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

    2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

    3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

    4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more.
    Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

    5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

    6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
    Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....

    8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
    February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'

    9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.

    10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

    21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass - NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.

    22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill - NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation - mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

    26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

    27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

    28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Candian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

    29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction off Israel .

    30.) I Want All Votes To Count - NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.

  • I've always known this

    You're 6:49 a.m.

    You're the time of day right around sunrise, when the sky is still a pale bluish gray. The streets are empty, and the grass and leaves are a little bit sparkly with dew. You are the sound of a few chirpy birds outside the window. You are quiet, peaceful, and contemplative. If you move slowly, it's not because you're lazy ? it's because you know there's no reason to rush. You move like a relaxed cat, pausing for deep stretches that make your muscles feel alive. You are long sips of tea or coffee (out of a mug that's held with both hands) that slowly warm your insides just as the sun is brightening the sky.

    16% of the people who took this quiz got the same evaluation.

  • Dream Big

     

    When I was a little boy
    I swore that I would change the world when I grew up.
    Nothing else would be enough

    I see it everyday
    We settled for safe
    And lose ourselves along the way

    but if u dont dream big whats the use of dreaming.
    If u dont have faith theres nothing worth believing.
    It takes wild hope to make the stars worth reaching for.
    So reach out, for something more

    Took a well perfected plan
    For me to finally understand
    But its not me
    Faith is something you can't  see

    Ive wiped my tears away
    now its time for a change
    No I cant waste another day

    Coz if u dont dream big whats the use of dreaming.
    If u dont have faith theres nothing worth believing.
    It takes wild hope to make the stars worth reaching for.

    Coz if u dont have faith whats the use of dreaming.
    If u dont have faith theres nothing worth believing.
    It takes wild hope to make the stars worth reaching for.
    So reach out, for something more

  • The Haps

    Serious:  Call to Repentance Night -- read more here http://ministriesofnewlife.com/

     

    Appalling:  I got this book because the title caught my eye.  10 things your minister wants to tell you, but can't because he needs the job.  I finally cracked it open and on the first page was appalled.  The guy went to cemetary, uh seminary, and was saying that Genesis tells the story of 2 different creations, that itis not a literal 24 hour period, and how was it possible for light to be created before the sun on day 4.  What a moron.   Please do TorahClass Genesis covers it all.  As a parent I am more able to relate to how YHVH teaches us things.  YHVH could have created this planet and all it's wares in less than 6 days but HE our Father was setting up a pattern for us to follow- an example - if you will.  6 days of labor and 1 day of rest.  I know many of us moms ((dads)) try to teach our children that work comes before play.  We get up, get ready, do chores and home education before we play or go fun places.

    Funnies:  or at least to me. 

    #1 - drill in anwar -- the environmentalist that have never been there say "it will harm the moose and kill them"  but savage said that the heat from the pipe will be a nice mating ground because if you're a moose looking to "paw" your female moose where would you rather do the "pawing" at ... in the snow or under a nice warm pipe?  so actually there will be more moose born.

    #2 - watching the first 3 episodes of Firefly -- the trainjob at the end when they try to reason with the big tough guy and he refuses so they let him get sucked into the engine and then bring another smaller guy out to give him the deal and he immediately says "it's good I'll do it"  to save his life -- LOL

    #3 - more Firefly -- bushwacked episode and she won't talk about her marriage because she says they are private people and when he's questioned he talks non-stop about what attracted him to her...LOL

    Ponder: I hear the following on the radio at least once a month...it's something to think about  ((I'd like to see it side by side with Anna's plan))

    The Savage Manifesto [plan to save America]  copied from http://michaelsavage.wnd.com/?pageId=404  because I'm not sure if it will always be up to view and I would like to be able to view it even if they ever take it down.

    H. Close all houses of sex and massage.

    I. Expand the DEA, while decriminalizing most drugs.

    J. Regarding the media; one, eliminate all foreign ownership of any American media entity. Two, break up overly large conglomerates, like News Corporation.

    K. Encourage child bearing among tax paying citizens. Create a marriage incentive, through lower taxes for married heterosexual couples. And a government subsidy for each child conceived and carried to birth. Increase the subsidies for each year the couple remains married.

    L. Repatriate all illegal immigrants now incarcerated. Encourage all other illegals to self-repatriate through double taxation on wages and fines on employers.”

    International

    A. Iraq. Send in Iraqi troops to mop up pockets of resistance. Make Iraq pay with their oil for the cost of the war. Cordon off Sadr City, force all residents to leave, then go in and mop up all resistance fighters. Divide Iraq into three to four sectors; Sunni, Shiite, Kurd, and International. Next, remove all U.S. troops after above achieved.

    B. Iran. One, sanctions embargoes and mine their harbors. Nothing goes in, nothing comes out.

    C. North Korea. Destroy their launching platforms, impose a Naval blockade on all goods coming in or out, except food.

    D. Israel Arab Entities. Give Israel four years to become self-sufficient. Cut off all foreign aid to all nations.

    Bush signs bill to take all newborns’ DNA

    President Bush has signed into law a bill which will see the federal government screen the DNA of all newborn babies in the U.S., a move critics have described as the first step towards the establishment of a national DNA database. It is being described as a "national contingency plan". The new law S. 1858, known as The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007, is meant to represent preparation for any sort of "public health emergency." Sections of the bill make it clear that DNA may be used in genetic experiments and tests. Twila Brase, president of the Citizens’ Council on Health Care, says it represents the first program of populationwide genetic testing.

    For Those Tears I Died

    Words and Music by Marsha Stevens

    And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by My side,
    I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied;
    I felt ev'ry teardrop when in darkness you cried,
    And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died."
