Evil in America

Paul Harvey from 1965. Our Priest read this verbatim in church Sunday. While the libs and media will spend the next year using the tragedy in Newton to attempt to ban guns, Father Cebula knows what the essence of that story and many stories across our country are: Satan is continuing to weave his web in America. The media will never discuss this evil as part of these stories, because to recognize the evil of Satan in our country goes against everything they believe. They believe there is no God. God requires things. They want no requirements placed on them. They believe all men can be subjugated to their wishes if they have no God to tell them otherwise. They will decide what is good and what is evil. And in modern America, what has always been good is bad and what has always been bad is now good. Make the state man's god and man can be controlled. Those of us who believe will never be controlled by man, nor will the evil. Only the followers of God can rise up and stop evil in this world. Government and the media can only help Satan stay in the ballgame. And in this, they are giving their full effort.

"My Plan Worked!"

When we watch the speech in which Obama claims his plan worked, we all scratch our heads and wonder just WTF he is talking about. But, we must realize that he has always laid out for us exactly what he was going to do and this is just a celebration of his success. "I will fundamentally transform this country." The transformation of our country into not something we all envision, but into something Obama and the socialist, communist, atheist friends of his have been working towards for the last 100 years is nearly complete. We are all soon to be dependent on our new masters for our existence.

Context

This is like catching a little kid with his hand in the cookie jar, and he tries to tell you it wasn't him, it was his sister. Amazing how brazen these people are. Now his own words: Brazen

Democrat War on Moms, Motherhood, and Women!

What do liberals and democrats really think about women, motherhood, and children? Watch and learn:

The Master Plan

What this video describes is a part of the master plan. This is reminiscent of what Hitler learned and exercised after his setback caused by the beer hall pustch. Rather than force people to do something, which may result in anger and a pushback, convince them to do it to themselves. In his case, the elevation of Hilter to power by the free choice of the people. While this is not a discussion of whether Obama and his team are Hitler, it is a discussion of the use of the people against themselves. From global cooling in the 70's to global warming now and many other "threats" to our existence, they continue to feed us the "evil things" we are doing to the planet and to each other and then sit back and wait until we do exactly what they want us to do by our own choice. Then end result will be placing others in total control of every decision we make, which is exactly what they want.

Democrat Playbook

This sums up the Obama campaign for the next 6 months. He is the worst President in history and has not one positive accomplishment to run on. He will continue the Clinton originated style of dividing Americans by race, class, religion, and demagogue. He will never discuss his exponential debt accumulation, his ramming though of Obamacare, that no one still wants, his dismantling of the military...Never. The media will comply and allow him to do this. Just watch this RNC video and realize as you watch the next six months, that he is trying to fool enough idiots to vote for him to get reelected.

People that vote for this guy are straight up idiots!

Senior Researcher, Institute for Local Self-Reliance Another Shocking Fact About the Walmart Heirs Posted: 12/ 9/11 02:32 PM ET

The Waltons currently own 49 percent of Walmart stock. That's right. The six Waltons, heirs to Walmart founder Sam Walton, not only have a net worth equal to the combined wealth of the bottom 30 percent of Americans, as we learned this week from University of California economist Sylvia Allegretto, but they also own and control nearly half of Walmart, the world's largest corporation. That's an astounding fact. Last year, Walmart had sales of $422 billion and generated $16 billion in profits. That's quite a cash stream for a single family to be able to dip into, year after year. While one could argue that other wealthy corporate founders made their money by producing something that benefited society as whole -- the founders of Google, Apple, and Microsoft, for example, introduced products that fueled the creation of many new businesses and jobs -- that's not the case with the Waltons. Sure, Walmart built a more efficient system for distributing goods, but that accounts for only a small portion of its profits. The main way the Waltons got their wealth is by squeezing workers at every point along Walmart's supply chain. The Waltons are a fitting face for the 1% (actually the 0.000006%), because Walmart has arguably done more than any other company to undermine the American middle class and force an ever-growing share of the population into working poverty. As Walmart has grown, it has eviscerated two key pillars of the middle class -- small business owners, who have lost their livelihoods by the tens of thousands, and union-wage manufacturing workers, more than 3 million of whom have seen their jobs shipped to low-wage countries, thanks largely to pressure from Walmart and other big-box retailers. In exchange for all the family-supporting jobs Walmart has take away, all it has given us in return are very low-wage jobs working in its stores. The average Walmart worker makes just $8.81 an hour, data from IBISWorld show, and requires $943 a year in Medicaid and other public assistance, according to information from the state of Ohio. This is how the Waltons made their billions and, indeed, continue to profit every time someone shops at Walmart.

Well, well, well Stacy, where do I start? Heaven forbid the family that started the company own the company! What kind of socialist drugs are you taking. Evil Wal-Mart has killed small business?? Really?? What really is frustratin­g is the deception that anti-capit­alist liberals like you continuall­y use. Here's how it worked: Wal-Mart opened it's doors, and people chose, yes CHOSE, of their own free will, to shop there. Then they expanded, and more people CHOSE to shop there. Then they expanded again, and more and more people CHOSE to shop there. The side effect of these choices is that they CHOSE not to shop at other places. Basic scarcity and opportunit­y cost. Who are the vast majority of people who shop there?? Why your beloved 99% of course. I'm waiting for you 99%ers to camp out at the White House. All things combined, where do you figure your little man Barack and and his queen rank? They are the richest of the rich. Go get 'em baby!!

I've always loved the Michael Moore's and Sean Penn's of this country that think every other country is better than ours. We all know the reality of that, but the compliant media always helps them paint the same picture. This video paints the truth!

We are the make or break stages of the Alinsky end game

I watch this and, anger, disbelief, and understanding fills me. The clarity came before this, but this might be the best example I have seen of the smugness of those who worship at the decomposed feet of Saul Alinsky. They have developed a compliant media that allows them to say anything they wish and even a unbelieving interviewer will be polite and on the defensive with an Alinsky acolyte like Dick Durbin. This will end in total victory for the Alinskyites that make up the breadth and width of this administration and their stooges in congress and the media, or it will end in total immolation of everything they have worked for for the last 50 years. They know this is it and is why they keep pressing forward. Watch in horror:

America's Mayor-Michael Bloomberg

Forever irked that Rudy Guliani is considered "America's Mayor" for what he did during and after the 9/11 Terrorist attacks, Michael Bloomberg has issued a fatwah that he will be America's Mayor at all costs. Along these lines, the Mayor has launched a sting operation in Arizona to protect the citizens of New York City from the mass of "gun show guns" that infiltrate his city and cause massive amounts of violence. He has proven that thugs who try to get around the glorious gun laws of New York do so by driving 80 hours round trip or plunking down a few hundred dollars and flying 8 hours round trip to pick up a handgun so that they can rob their nearest 7-11 immediately upon their return. He also proved that some of the illicit "gun show guns" drive or fly themselves from Arizona and locate a thug who doesn't have the means to drive or fly there and convince them to adopt the gun at which point the gun convinces the otherwise law abiding thug to commit crime. Said one unnamed thug, "I sat here day after day not knowing how I was going to be able to find a gun to rob someone. I was at my wits end and thinking about looking for a job. Then, I heard there were these gun shows in the AZ, that barely checked anything. So I went a stole me a car, splashed and dashed at the gas station and robbed the ATM. I was all set for 3 days of driving to get me to the AZ!" said the thug. Fortunately Mayor Bloomberg has alerted us all to the ease of NYC thugs obtaining these guns, which will allow the NYC City council to enact a ban on the use of Arizona gun show guns in the commission of crimes in NYC. Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona announced her gratitude to Mayor Bloomberg in a statement which read, "Bloomberg is such a Nancy girl!"
In further news, Mayor Bloomberg is set to announce the results of a new sting in which he has exposed the source of illicit salt entering New York City. Says the Mayor, "For too long we have fought the war on salt in my fair city. The people of New York have been subjected to increased high blood pressure and hypertension by the malicious mining of salt from beneath Lake Erie. We call on the governor of Ohio, and residents of the region to issue better screening requirements for those loathsome profiteers looking to make a buck on the back of the people who eat in this country by poisoning their food with salt." Governor Kasich responded by saying, "Bloomberg is such a Nancy girl."

The Gingrich File

As I was reading Internet news one day recently, I came across an item in which Newt Gingrich proclaimed that if he ran in 2012, he would be one of the favorites to win the Republican nomination. In 1995, after the revolution, he may have had a point. In 2010 and beyond, Mr Gingrich doesn't have a prayer. Shortly after the 1994 revolution, Gingrich very quickly fell into the Washington trap of power and privilege and did things that took his effectiveness away. Since Gingrich left the House, he has done numerous things to position himself as the conservative we were all looking for, speeches, books, television appearances... But then once again, he did things that showed he is not a conservative, but a politician trying to "position" himself as an enlightened Republican. Two recent events have solidified that: His position on global warming,

America Rising

The New Obama Populism

After Republican Scott Brown pulled off the improbable drubbing of democrat Martha Cokely in the most blue state in the nation, Team Omnipotent said from now on, they would attack all of their key issues from a "populist" angle.  We'll let's look at who that populism might be targeted at:

Republicans? Nope


Bankers? Nope

President Barack Obama wasn’t in a mood to hear them out. He stopped the conversation and offered a blunt reminder of the public’s reaction to such explanations. “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.”


“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”…

“The only way they could have sent a more Spartan message is if they had served bread along with the water,” says a person who attended the meeting. “The signal from Obama’s body language and demeanor was, ‘I’m the president, and you’re not.’”…

The president spoke of public outrage over the high flying executive lifestyle. “The anger gentlemen, is real,” Obama said. He urged pay reform and said rewards must be proportional and balanced, and tied to the health and success of the company.

Chrysler bondholders-or people who oppose Obama? Nope



Anyone who doesn't support Obama? Nope.



News network that isn't in the tank for Obama and it's viewers? Nope



People who support knowing what is in the bills taking control of their health care? Nope



Tea Party participants? Nope



Religious people or gun owners? Nope



Pickup Truck owners? Nope





Not many people left other than left wing nut jobs and the foreign leaders he keeps bowing to. Good luck with that populism thing!

Downfall of America

This exemplifies who the democrat party is and, with groups like ACORN, shows their blatant, and increasingly public, desire to bring about the fall our our republic to achieve their goals.  One of which is I guess, bringing down the republic.

Where's Waldo?

Somebody please explain the difference.  Like Waldo, it's tough to find.

"I'm Sorry Mr. Gergen, Was There a Question in There?"

Ah, yes the unbiased media just looking out for the voters of Massachusetts!

Is There A Pattern Here?

If 78% of the residents of Washington DC want to retain the School voucher program and the Obama administration goes against them...If 67% of the residents of Arkansas are against the Obamacare plan and their Senator votes for it...If 63% of the residents of Nebraska are against the Obamacare plan and their Senator votes for it...If 63% of the nation is against the Obamacare plan and the house and Senate vote for it...If 57% of the nation is against the bailouts and 56% are against the stimulus and Congress still votes for them...The question must be posed:  Does our current government resemble the representative Republic that our founders established, or does it more resemble the  rubber-stamp Reichstag led by Adolf Hitler in the 1930's?

I Wish I Was So Lucky

It must be a wonderful feeling knowing that if you are a liberal, you can say ANYTHING, no matter how ludicrous, and no one will call you on it.

The Enemy Within

On January 20th, America let the enemy in the door. We can't imagine him not being our friend. We can't imagine him not wanting the best for us. We can't imagine him wanting us to fail. These are things that Americans, as eternal optimists, don't possess the ability to admit to ourselves. But it's there. The enemy has entered our house, like the vampire movies of old. We were safe as long as we didn't invite him in. Now there is nothing we can do until we have driven a symbolic stake throught the heart of his philisophical beliefs. The America that the founders gave of was one of liberty, freedom. Freedom to succeed or fail. Freedom to be. When declaring our independence from the tyranny of King George, Thomas Jefferson wrote this, "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." The PURSUIT of happiness. Our founders did not GUARANTEE happiness, only the ability, thorough our liberty, to pursue whatgeach of us deem to be our version of happiness. For many decades, but now culminating with "the rising" our government has moved to guarantee "happiness." If you have the nerve to have found happiness, you are doing that at the expense of those who are not happy. As such, the government has decided that your happiness needs to be diminished to make those who are not as happy, feel better. All of our institutions are under attack to make this happen. The government, led by Barack Obama and his minions, are very swiftly creating a fascist dictatorship. Fascism? Isn't that a little extreme?? Here's the definition of fascism:
A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship. What part of that definition doesn't fit the current administration?

Heaven

Love this song. Especially the chorus, for obvious reasons.

Stand Up Now

America is at a crossroad. Will we let the vision of our Founders fade away?

Scary on SO many levels!

This woman epitomizes everything that is wrong with our current "leadership." Incompetence-She can't seriously be third in line for the presidency or running the House of Representatives can she. Elitism-The confidence to know that she is fully able to come out and hold multiple press conferences in which she says something that is immediately proven to be a fabrication, without consequence due to a compliant media. Obfuscation-It was the CIA's fault. It was George Bush's fault. It was Dick Cheney's fault. Again with a fully compliant media, the question is being asked today in news outlets, "Did the CIA lie?"

Shazaam!! I never made the connection Mr. Obvious!!

Obama Says U.S. Long-Term Debt Load ‘Unsustainable’

By Roger Runningen and Hans Nichols

May 14 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.
“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”
Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”
Earlier this week, the Obama administration revised its own budget estimates and raised the projected deficit for this year to a record $1.84 trillion, up 5 percent from the February estimate. The revision for the 2010 fiscal year estimated the deficit at $1.26 trillion, up 7.4 percent from the February figure. The White House Office of Management and Budget also projected next year’s budget will end up at $3.59 trillion, compared with the $3.55 trillion it estimated previously.
Two weeks ago, the president proposed $17 billion in budget cuts, with plans to eliminate or reduce 121 federal programs. Republicans ridiculed the amount, saying that it represented one-half of 1 percent of the entire budget. They noted that Obama is seeking an $81 billion increase in other spending.

This guy talks about it like it's someone else doing the spending.

As one of my favorite subjects, I will continue to revisit it to please me and enlighten my readers who might not be clear as to who the world's dominant football program is.

Indoctrination

As I watched Nickelodeon's "Kids Choice Awards," I was amazed at the brazenness of the left's continued indoctrination of our youth. Leonardo Dicaprio received the Big Green Help Award. His prepared thank you speech included the following: "Right now, our mother — our mother — all of our mothers, Mother Earth is hurting,” said Leonardo DiCaprio. “And she needs a generation of thoughtful, caring and active kids like all of you to protect her for the future. You can help us win the battle to clean up our air, our water, our land, to protect our forests, our oceans and our wildlife.” Sorry, but my Mother is not mother earth. But if we can make the kids believe that mother earth trumps our own mothers, we can mold them into any shape we want!! This reminded me of any earlier quote along the same lines: "This morning we were told at the assembly that our parents are nice, old-fashioned people who don't understand the new ways of thinking. We should leave them alone and not bother. We are the hope of the nation, the hope of the whole world." Recognize that one? If you're thinking Al Gore, you're wrong. This is a quote from Maria Augusta Trapp, in "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers," described how the Nazis de-Christianized their schools and trained students to scorn their parents values. Here is the rest of her quote: "The teacher said Jesus was only a naughty Jewish boy Who ran away from his parents. That's all. ... In school we are not permitted to sing any religious songs with the name of Christ or Christmas. We can hardly sing any Bach for that reason." Sound familiar? Here now is the recent Al Gore quote: "There are some things about our world that you know that older people don't know," he continued. "Why would that be? Well in a period of rapid change, the old assumptions sometimes just don’t work anymore because they're out of date," Gore said. Schools across this country continue to show Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth." This movie is so factually inaccurate that the British High Court ruled that it can only be shown with guidance notes to prevent political indoctrination. To be clear, Britain is about as liberal on Global Warming as you can get. Here in America, teachers continue to show it unfiltered. Why? Specifically, to indoctrinate the young. Hitler learned after his failed attempt to seize power in Germany that you don't destroy democracy and in essence freedom by violence. You destroy it from within through the acquiescence of the people. The young are the easiest to help accomplish this.

Top 10 High School Football Rivalries


Josh Katzowitz
Special to Rivals High




1. Massillon Washington vs. Canton McKinley



No matter the records the Tigers and Bulldogs do not like one another
This game is so big, it - unlike so many rivalries on this list - doesn't need a special nickname.

The two names of the school say it all.

This year's meeting will be the 117th matchup of a rivalry that began in 1894, and it's a game that is always played on Saturday afternoon in the last weekend of the regular season.

The Ohio communities sit about seven miles apart – think Duke-North Carolina in basketball – and both focus their energy the entire week of the game into topping their counterparts.

This game is so big, it is the only high school football game that gets a betting line in Las Vegas.

Prostration of America

Anybody but me notice that since Obama was elected he has tried his hardest to make America look like the weakest country on earth that deserves none of it's greatness? Whether it's sending love letters or please don't hate me videos to Iran, or ANNOUNCING ahead of time that there is NOTHING we will do about North Korea launching a missile, or apologizing to all of the G20 for, well, everything, it's been disgusting. The worst though might have been him BOWING to the Saudi King. I'm reminded of an incident at the opening ceremony for the 1908 Olympics, at which a man named Martin Sheridan was to be the American flag bearer. Martin Sheridan was a Patrolman with the New York City Police Dept at the time. It was felt that with his strong Irish feelings, Patrolman Sheridan would not show proper respect to the King of England during the “Parade of Nations.”Protocol of the day was to dip a country’s flag as it passed the royal review stand. Irish American Ralph Rose was selected as his replacement. It is said that another Irish American named Matthew McGrath then told Ralph Rose “dip that flag and you’ll be in a hospital tonight.” Needless to say, the flag was not dipped which caused an international incident. During a news conference Martin Sheridan spoke for the entire Olympic team and said “this flag dips for no earthly king” as he pointed at the Stars and Stripes. This is still done today. Unless you are Barack Obama, then you just dip yourself.




PATHETIC
WHICH AMERICA DO YOU WANT? THAT GREAT AMERICA OF IRISH IMMIGRANT MARTIN SHERIDAN OR THAT OF OBAMA? I OPT FOR THE FORMER.
UPDATE FROM "THE MESSIAH SAYS IT IS SO" DEPARTMENT: The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.
"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Bailout Mania

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.-

Sun Tzu, the Art of War

We are at war in America. It's a civil war and most of us aren't aware or are too oblivious to care. We are on an orchestrated path to socialism. Not European Socialism as some are rationalizing, but unadulterated total governmental control of our lives. Fascism might be a more apt description. The word economy will be out of the lexicon, because their will be no economy. This is all woven deeply into the flooding of money from the government to as many entities and individuals as possible in the quickest possible way. With the acceptance of federal dollars comes the ability to dictate conditions attached to those dollars. I don't believe constitutionally the executive branch has the ability to do this, but no one challenges them, so it becomes common law. As the Obama administration weaves their tentacles into the economy, they are using Sun Tzu's art of deception. AIG outrage is the prime example of this in practice. The democrat congress overwhelmingly passed a "stimulus package" that had inserted in it language that specifically allowed the bonuses to be paid, knew about it well ahead of time, and loudly feigned outrage and unconstitutional punitive measures against those who collected their approved bonuses. This administration has been a flurry of activity to implement it's socialist agenda as fast as possible before people can react to it. Once anything is implemented by government, it NEVER goes away. Obama knows this. The socialists know this. George Soros knows this. So distract. Deceive. Don't allow a full examination of anything that is being implemented. Move it through, blitzkrieg style, and force the opponents to push it all the way back. We are in the most dangerous time in possibly our history. America is on the brink of changing in ways that will make it unrecognizable. This must be stopped.
