I urge you to share this information with everyone you know, regardless of their religious or political perference, and it might be especially important to print this and hand-it to your pastor, priest or rabbi.

 

America Historian, and Christian, David Barton compiled this list and you can see his fact-source footnotes at http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=106938

 

If you are not familiar with David Barton, you owe it to yourself to know who he is and what he does.

Many of the actions listed below are literally unprecedented in American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president. While most of these news stories have been seen before, seeing them all laid out in one list is pretty astonishing.

 

The Most Biblically Hostile President Of All Time

(8)

THE WAR ON......WHITE MEN aka DESTROYING AMERICA

I thought about titling this piece "Destroying America." Either way, there's a dismantling going on, one brick at a time.

Leftist judges continue to go against the will of the majority of American voters. They are crafting artificial minorities in an attempt to create an artificial majority. The latest sling sent against  us is the war against the Boy Scouts of America and the Defense of Marriage Act. Each brick represents the strength of America being deceitfully removed.

I see a time coming when homosexuals, if we allow it, will be given preference in all matters. Fill in the dots.....hiring.....military service.....teaching.....  Get the picture?

One's sexuality does not belong in the public eye. However, I must speak out when I see film of their public displays. Disgusting.

I declare myself in rebellion against what's being imposed on us by Leftist Judges,  a Leftist White House and a Leftist Political Party.

We have once chance and once chance only now to end the madness. I warn Americans though - they don't go easily. Expect power moves in some guise from them before the election. It wouldn't surprise me that there will be event created by the Left, something that would appear to be justified and open the door to the declaration of martial law.

I like to be wrong about some things. I hope I'm wrong about this and the real  American majority will speak up with their vote.

An armed Hitler-type Youth Corps being formed here?

http://www.whiteoutpress.com/articles/q42012/homeland-security-graduates-first-corps-of-homeland-youth/

The Buck Stops......where?

THE BUCK STOPS…..WHERE?

Now that Hilary Clinton has fallen on the sword as relates to Benghazi, Libya and the murders of four Americans, what has changed? Harry Truman, while President, said “The buck stops here.” Evidently in 2012 the buck stops at the State Department to shield inept leadership.

Facts of the matter have not changed. The White House knew within 24 hours that the attack was NOT because of a video yet they persisted in saying so. Our Ambassador to the United Nations continued to say it. White House spokespeople continue to say it.

What looks and smells like a cover up IS a cover up. And it is being done because of the upcoming election. Democrats are attempting to portray Presidential candidate Romney as politicizing the American deaths. Damn right he is!  And rightfully so. After all, aren’t THEY doing the same thing by their denials?

A Letter from Hobby Lobby Stores CEO

By David Green, the founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn't much bigger than most people's
living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God's word. From there,Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation's largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.

We're Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I've always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God's laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that's what we've tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week's biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest. We believe that it is by God's grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees. We've not only added jobs in a weak economy, we've raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage.

But now, our government threatens to change all of that. A new government healthcare mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance. Being Christians, we don't pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don't cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes
against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one. If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million  PER DAY in government fines.

Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that's raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its
business according to its beliefs. It's not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it's the
same for everybody. But that's not true. The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won't exempt them for reasons of religious belief.

So, Hobby Lobby — and my family — are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this
mandate before it hurts our business. We don't like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important
than turning a profit.

My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult. The
government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that's a choice no American — and no American business — should have to make.
The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.Just remember this in November !

Since you will not see this covered in any of the liberal media, pass this on to all your contacts.

Sincerely, 

David Green, CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. 

Joe Biden? Alarming!

I saw Joe Biden's performance last night in his debate with Paul Ryan. Obnoxius, disrespectful and alarming. To think he is first in command in the event of the President's demise?

What a dope!

PINOCCHIO LIVES

JC Sullivan

This former Democrat watched the comings and goings of the 2012 Democratic National Convention and I would use the “Shock and Awe” term to describe the sideshows that were created.

The Washington Examiner reported DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) falsely quoted Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. “We know, and I’ve heard no less than Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel.” She added, “They’re undermining Israel’s security by suggesting that the United States and Israel don’t have anything other than a unique and close and special relationship. It undermines Israel’s security to its neighbors in the Arab world and to its enemies. And we need to make sure that the fact that there has never been and will never be daylight between the two parties or the support for Israel that we have in the United States, that that is conveyed to Jewish Americans across this country. That’s our responsibility. It’s the responsibility we’re asking all of you to take on.”

Following the conventioon FOX News asked her about the comment and the fact that Oren denied saying it.  “I didn’t say he said that. And unfortunately, that comment was reported by a conservative newspaper. Not surprising that they would deliberately misquote me.” Unbeknownst to her, the Washington Examiner’s Beltway Confidential blog had posted audio (http://washingtonexaminer.com/dws-attacks-examiner-for-deliberately-misquoting-her-but-heres-the-audio/article/2506980#.UEnyz7JlQY7). She now has the distinction of having earned “4 Pinocchios” by Pinocchio Tracker.

As of this writing I’m still waiting for any other American media outlet with integrity to report the story. Locally, there hasn’t been any mention of it in Cleveland’s Plain Dealer daily newspaper.

Through Sullivan’s Eye it’s perpetuation of “The Big Lie.” 

Political Correctness from Political Generals

PENTAGON FIRES INSTRUCTOR FOR HIS COURSE ON RADICAL ISLAM

A 19 year Army veteran and West Point graduate has been “flagged” for a course he was teaching on radical Islam. According to Fox and Friends Sunday, U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Dooley was fired after his teachings at the Joint Forces Staff College were said to be “objectionable” by top military brass. Dooley believes what has happened is “political correctness.” And he has support. Richard Thompson, President of the Ann Arbor Michigan Thomas More Law Center has come to his defense.

“In October last year,” Thompson said, “fifth-seven Muslim organizations sent a letter to the Department of Defense demanding the purging of all instructive material that may be deemed offensive to Muslims and Islam, and they demanded all instructors using those materials should be punished.” In May of this year General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, alongside the Secretary of Defense, publicly “excoriated” Dooley. He was fired from his teaching position and given a negative Officer Evaluation Report (OER), a death knell to a military career.  

Thompson believes what has occurred amounts to appeasing a Muslim group and sees political correctness permeating the upper echelons of the military. The course being taught was not low level; it was being taught to upper echelon military officers. The purpose of this course was to engage in a dynamic discussion to think the unthinkable, to expect the unexpected, because these officers one day will find themselves in a position say on a nuclear attack on the City of New York. And if the President turns to this officer and says ‘what should be our response?’, this officer can’t say ‘give me two weeks and I’ll come back to you.’ This officer has to have a response. And THAT’S what Lt. Colonel Matthew Dooley was teaching.”

 According to the website cited below, OERs are required at least once a year and are normally completed by two superiors, namely, a rater and a senior rater. “The rating officer on an OER is usually the rated officer’s immediate supervisor, an officer of higher rank, who is most familiar with the rated soldier’s specific duties and performance. The senior rater is a leader who occupies the next higher duty position up from the rater and is best positioned to assess both the rated soldier’s performance in comparison to his peers, as well as the rated soldier’s future potential to serve in higher ranks and increased levels of responsibility. 

The OERs clearly demonstrate that LTC Dooley’s raters and senior raters all considered him an outstanding officer and advocated his rapid promotion and advancement to the highest levels of responsibility.  Like many of his peers serving alongside him in the military, LTC Dooley has served honorably and with distinction through a number of complex operating environments. Nevertheless, he has become the latest victim of the “Great Purge” to appease the 57 Muslim groups which demanded that instructors using materials offensive to Islam be disciplined.

In fact, after General Dempsey’s public rebuke, a negative OER was ordered and prepared with direction from the Pentagon covering the period from June 2011 to June 2012.   In contrast to the inaccurate and unjust comments in the Pentagon-directed negative OER, the excerpts from earlier OERs describe LTC Dooley’s outstanding performance.” For further details visit http://www.thomasmore.org/news/muslims-offended-soldier-s-career-destroyed-official-army-records-show-loss-nation

“What happened to LTC Dooley is more than a personal miscarriage of justice.  When instructors are prohibited from teaching military officers about the true threat posed by Islamic Radicalism, it is a threat to our national security.”
