Making a list: Who is most to blame for America's decline? Feminsm, environmentalism or the unions by Susan Smith Dale I am presently in a terrible conundrum. I can't figure out whether it is feminism, environmentalism or the unions that is responsible for the near destruction of America. Demographically, of course, feminism is the culprit. Not only has it been directly responsible for the lack of progeny in America and the west in general, but it is primarily responsible for women leaving the home and doing whatever, most of which the members of the feminist community, forced ot otherwise, don't seem to like; in fact, they are an angry lot, very angry. Women, because ...

Showdown Between Texas and the Obama Administration February 27, 2012 by da Tagliare Did you know that Texas is the only state in the country that has a clause in their state constitution that says that they have the right to secede from the union? I wonder what would happen if they decided to choose to exercise that clause and declare themselves to be a free and sovereign country of their own? I don’t think it will come to that, but they are on the verge of starting a political war that just may make some Texans start to think about seceding. Thomas Suehs, Commissioner of Texas Health and Human Services signed a new state regulation that will formally prohibit all abortion ...
Corrupt Lying Sack Of Shit, Hypocrite Obama using Espionage Act to 'silence and prosecute federal workers'...

Last Wednesday in the White House briefing room, the administration’s press secretary, Jay Carney, opened on a somber note, citing the deaths of Marie Colvin and Anthony Shadid, two reporters who had died “in order to bring truth” while reporting in Syria. Jake Tapper, the White House correspondent for ABC News, pointed out that the administration had lauded brave reporting in distant lands more than once and then asked, “How does that square with the fact that this administration has been so aggressively trying to stop aggressive journalism in the United States by using the Espionage Act to take whistle-blowers to court?” He then suggested that the administration ...
Hypocrite Michelle Lets Governors Gorge on 2,000 Calorie Dinner

The White House Sunday epically failed to practice what its first lady preaches, serving the nation’s governors a more than 2,000 calorie dinner even as Michelle Obama traverses the country promoting health eating. While Michelle lectures children to cut out the fat and eat their vegetables unadorned with caloric sauces, she served the governors – who are in Washington for their annual meeting – a feast that included adipose-marbled steak, vegetables slathered with dairy enhancements, and dessert. The White House has proposed mandating meals for elementary school kids that include none of these items, or anything like them. Here, for example, is the Wednesday lunch from a ...

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) warned that Israel could become the site of a "second Holocaust" if the United States does not provide military cover against Iran, a local Jacksonville, Fla., radio station, WOKV-AM/FM, reported on Monday.“You’re looking at a second Holocaust … [if Israel doesn't] know they can trust and depend upon the stars and stripes … to provide them support,” said West, who was speaking at the First Baptist Church in West Palm Beach.

Our Depraved Future of Debt Slavery- Parts I & II

PART 1: It is almost surprising that the concept of slavery is very foreign to those living in the developed world, especially the U.S., since it was extensively practiced as recently as 70 years ago. What’s more disturbing about this ignorance is the fact that the system of post-Civil War slavery in the U.S. was not so different than the systems of slavery many Americans and Europeans will be experiencing in upcoming years. Indeed, I’m sure many people will probably take offense to such a comparison even being made, as they feel it demeans the atrocious acts committed in the past. I would argue, however, that we demean history by failing to understand it and learn from it. Many ...

(02-27) 09:11 PST Chardon, Ohio (AP) -- A gunman opened fire inside a high school cafeteria at the start of the school day Monday, wounding five students, one of whom later died, authorities said. A suspect — believed to be a student — was arrested a short distance away. The suspect was taken into custody near his car about half a mile from the suburban Cleveland school, said FBI agent Vicki Anderson. Students screamed and ran in panic through the halls when gunfire broke out around 7:30 a.m. at the 1,100-student Chardon High School. Heather Ziska, 17, said she was in the cafeteria when she and other students heard popping noises in the hall. She said she saw a boy she ...
Are the Payroll Tax Cuts Being Paid for With Your Home Mortgage?

Are the Payroll Tax Cuts Being Paid for With Your Home Mortgage? The payroll tax cut extension is being paid for by increases in fees associated with home mortgages. That’s the story making the rounds these days. I’ve been asked about it a number of times, starting with a piece from CBS News from February of this year that was posted on my Facebook page with the comment: “ I have to ask: With all the polemic about extending the payroll tax cut and how to pay for it, how did we all miss this? When I saw the comment, I had to scratch my head. I’ve read the payroll tax cut legislation (downloads as a pdf) and I didn’t recall a word about mortgages paying for the ...

A banker left a 1% tip in defiance of 'the 99%' at a Newport Beach restaurant the other week, according to his dining companion and underling who snapped a photo of the receipt and posted it to his blog, Future Ex Banker. (Update: the blog is now offline.) In posting the photo, the employee gave some background on his boss and the receipt: Mention the “99%” in my boss’ presence and feel his wrath. So proudly does he wear his 1% badge of honor that he tips exactly 1% every time he feels the server doesn’t sufficiently bow down to his Holiness. Oh, and he always makes sure to include a “tip” of his own. The "tip" of his own in this case was ...
Lawyer: Lesbians’ assault on gay man can’t be hate crime

Three women identified by their lawyers as lesbians were arraigned yesterday on a hate crime charge for allegedly beating a gay man at the Forest Hills T station in an unusual case that experts say exposes the law’s flawed logic. “My guess is that no sane jury would convict them under those circumstances, but what this really demonstrates is the idiocy of the hate-crime legislation,” said civil liberties lawyer Harvey Silverglate. “If you beat someone up, you’re guilty of assault and battery of a human being. Period. The idea of trying to break down human beings into categories is doomed to failure.” Prosecutors and the ACLU of Massachusetts said no matter ...

You should never hire this lawyer in my opinion. The reason is this article right here. www.wired.com/threatlevel...rney-threatens-take-down/ You see Adrian doesn't like free speech. He got some really crappy reviews about his skills as a lawyer. Now he is crying like a little bitch and wants to sue and close the lawyer review website. I say we need more lawyer review sites and less whiny little bitches like Adrian.
The face of an idiot!

'Jewish Earmark' Program Faces Big Cuts

Washington — A government program tailored to provide security grants for Jewish institutions is facing deep cuts and changes that will eliminate the advantage those institutions had in bidding for the federal grants. Guidelines issued on February 17 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security eliminate a built-in preference for religious groups that was among the reasons that Jewish organizations were the top recipients of grants under the program. Funding for the entire program was slashed to $10 million in 2012 from $19 million in 2011. Even with the new guidelines, Jewish activists contend that the program will still provide funding for the community’s security needs because ...

The wife of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was assassinated in Tehran in January, said Tuesday that her husband "sought the annihilation of the Zionist regime wholeheartedly," according to Iran's semi-official Fars news agency. "Mostafa's ultimate goal was the annihilation of Israel," the agency quoted Fatemeh Bolouri Kashani as saying Tuesday. Bolouri Kashani also underlined that her spouse "loved any resistance figure in his life who was willing to fight the Zionist regime and supported the rights of the oppressed Palestinian nation." The report belies attempts by Iran to claim that its nuclear program is not military in ...

At long last, it appears that the USA is still a country of laws and not a country of big banks and corporations. Military foreclosures A New York Federal Bankruptcy Judge named Grossman has finally ruled that the illegal scheme called MERS, that has defrauded both homeowners and large investors is nothing more than a scheme developed by bankers and mortgage brokers to also bilk the county recorders out of the fees due at title transfer. MERS is the method the bankers preferred to quickly and illegally to evict millions of homeowners from their homes. In the process MERS allowed the Banks to separate the note from the security. This allowed the securitization and bundling of millions of ...

We soon won’t have Buddy Roemer to kick around in the GOP any longer — if we ever did. Today, Roemer will announce his withdrawal as a candidate for the Republican nomination for President, and instead campaign for the American Elect party. If you haven’t heard of the American Elect Party, well … Frustrated and largely ignored, Buddy Roemer is ending his bid for the Republican nomination and will instead seek the presidency on a third-party ticket. The former Louisiana governor will make his plans official Thursday at a news conference in Santa Monica, within hours of another Republican debate that he’s been excluded from. It’s that fact that is driving his ...
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles join the Army

The United States Army is looking at hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, hoping that sometime in the near future they'll play some important military roles, maybe even on the battlefield. The military has been looking at alternative fuels like this because of the difficulty, expense and danger of securing oil and gasoline supplies. Hydrogen fuel cells, in particular, seem promising because of their design flexibility, said Major General Roger Matthews, Deputy Commanding General of the U.S. Army Pacific. Unlike an ordinary car's engine and transmission, fuel cells and batteries can take various shapes and be arranged inside the vehicle in a number of different ways. That allows for ...
Republican Indiana Lawmaker Bob Morris: Girl Scouts Promote Abortion, Homosexuality

INDIANAPOLIS — Undaunted by ridicule from the leader of his own party, an Indiana lawmaker is standing by his allegations that the Girl Scouts is a radical organization that promotes abortions and homosexuality. The scouts and Planned Parenthood have dismissed Rep. Bob Morris’ comments as absurd, as did Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma. But Morris, a Republican, told The Associated Press his critics need to do more research into the 100-year-old scouting organization. “My family and I took a view and we’re sticking by it,” Morris said Tuesday, adding that his daughters were joining an alternative group for young girls run by conservative Christians. “My ...
"Let Newt be Newt" Gingrich Is Urged to Be Himself

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — As Newt Gingrich prepares for what may be the last debate of the primary season, much in need of another comeback, his campaign has a new saying born of frustration with two earlier lackluster debates: “Let Newt be Mr. Gingrich, more than any other candidate, has seen his fortunes ebb and flow with debates, and there is a consensus in his team that his big loss in Florida’s Republican presidential primary last month was in no small part because of debates in which he strained to look above the fray. According to one top aide, Mr. Gingrich’s two daughters had advised him to strike a presidential pose, but that was not the Newt Gingrich voters craved. ...

WASHINGTON — Hacker group Anonymous strongly rejected suggestions on Tuesday that followers could cause a power outage by staging a cyberattack on an electricity grid. The Anonymous statement came after The Wall Street Journal quoted the head of the US National Security Agency (NSA) as warning that hackers could have the ability within the next year or two to cause a limited power outage. The newspaper said General Keith Alexander has not publicly expressed such a concern about the power grid but has provided his assessment in meetings at the White House and in other private sessions. Anonymous, on various Twitter feeds used by the group, accused the NSA director of "alarmist ...
Atheist Teen Who Sued Over School Prayer Banner To Get $40,000 Scholarship

An atheist blogger said this week that his online fundraiser has brought in more than $40,000 to support a scholarship fund for a girl in Rhode Island who sued over a public prayer display at her state-run school and won. The Cranston School Committee voted last week against an appeal of a U.S. District Court’s January decision, which determined that a banner promoting Christian theology would not be allowed to remain. The girl, 16-year-old Jessica Ahlquist, told the court the banner made her feel “ostracized and out of place,” according to The Associated Press. School officials had argued that since the banner had been in place since 1963, it was “historical” and ...

The Stimulus Chart Obama Doesn’t Want You to See Congressman Jim Jordan Three years ago today, President Obama signed his infamous stimulus package into law. In exchange for $1.2 trillion (including interest), liberals said their plan would bring the unemployment rate down to about 6% today. It hasn’t fallen below 8% at any point in the last 36 months. There has been a recent drop, though, which some Democrats claim as proof that their stimulus plan finally worked. But if that’s true, then where are the jobs? As more and more people have learned recently, the official unemployment rate doesn’t actually count unemployed people who have given up looking for work. ...
Obama Unemployment Figures Purposely Skewed

Obama Unemployment Figures Purposely Skewed The White House’s latest unemployment figure of 8.3% has been touted as proof that the nation is recovering and Obama’s programs are working. However, these figures have been purposely falsified to make a failing presidency look good in an election year. In 2009, the national unemployment level was reported to be 10%. The latest White House figure reports that the unemployment level has dropped to 8.3%, indicating a positive sign of recovery. However, these are not true figures nor do they reflect the truth. Let’s look at the percentage of working age Americans that have formal jobs. In 2000, that figure was 64.4%. In 2007 this ...
