Should there be limits on serving in Congress?
Let me first say this is nothing to do with party or affiliation.
But I'm going to use Ted Kennedy as my prime example.
He knew he was dying, he knew he wouldn't be able to serve out the rest of his term most likely. I think he should have resigned in January when he had a seizure at the Inauguration Luncheon.
He missed more votes than he was able to make this session. I understand why, however, I fully believe that if he couldn't do his job that he should have stepped aside and let someone be nominated, or a special election held before he passed on.
Which bring me to what I'm rambling about. Before these people in congress get to the point where they are trying to serve with severe health issues, wouldn't it be better for them to step down, and resign? Ted Kennedy could have remained a very visible part of congress mentoring and helping a new person take his place, but he chose to stay, now his state is scrambling for a special election.
Who is to say what a good term number would be?
But I can't help but think that Sen. Edward Kennedy missed an opportunity to help shape his party further. Now, I feel like a huge part, backbone, of the party is gone, and right now an empty seat remains.
Five or six months is not a long time for a state to hold a special election.
Who will take his place?
How will a person feel having to step into the shoes of filling the slot no matter which party he comes from of Sen. Edward Kennedy.
The Constitution limits presidents to 2 terms or 8 years, but there is no provision in the constitution limiting people in Congress, or on the Supreme Courts. These people are lifers, they retire when they want and there is no pressure to do so. Look at Chief Justice Rehnquist, his death left Bush scrambling to replace 2 seats on the court at the same time.
I strongly feel that there should be a clause or something, and I don't know how it should be written, that if a congress member or Supreme Court Justice is unable to do his job the majority of the time he should step down. Health problems like brain cancer is not something people would judge Kennedy for, or Rehnquist, and his health problems. People would rally around them and support them, and help them to the best of their ability.
The voters have the ability to not return someone, however, I am thinking a maximum of 20 years? I dunno I'm flexible with the numbers, I'm just thinking how we can try prevent another vacant seat caused by a death in Congress or the Supreme Court due to long term health issues.
Just some rambling thoughts I would appreciate some input on.

We need to change America! And here's why!
The GOVERNMENT.
Here are the song lyrics
http://www.musicloversgroup.com/toby-keith-american-ride-lyrics-and-video/
Winter gettin colder, summer gettin warmer
Tidal wave comin cross the Mexican border
Why buy a gallon, its cheaper by the barrel
Just don’t get busted singin Christmas carols
That’s us, That’s right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin
Funny how the world keeps turnin
Look ma, no hands
I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride
Momma gets her box off watchin Desperate Housewives
Daddy works his can off payin for the good life
Kids on the YouTube learnin how to be cool
Livin in a cruel world, pays to be a mean girl
That’s us, That’s right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin
Funny how the world keeps turnin
Look ma, no hands
I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride
Poor little miss, Americas town
She gained five pounds and lost her crown
Quick fix plastic surgical antidote
Got herself a record deal, cant even sing a note
Plasma getting bigger, Jesus getting smaller
Spill a cup of coffee, make a million dollars
Customs caught a thug with an aerosol can
If the shoe don’t fit, the fit’s gonna hit the shan
That’s us, That’s right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin
Funny how the world keeps turnin
Hot dog, Hot damn
I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride
Oh yeah,
na na na na na na na na
Song Information
The song was titled “American Life” when the two songwriters It submitted the demo to Keith. According to Keith, Dave Pahanish and Joe West said that Keith was “the only guy in the world that could get away with cutting it”. He also said that he considered the song “so different” and had it on his iPod for a year before recording it.
It speaks of everything that we see going wrong in this country from Bush to Obama, Bailouts, foreclosure, the war, you name it, how this country has become sue happy.......And through it all its funny how the world keeps 'turnin'.
How God and religion keep getting pushed out of this country, and how people seem to keep coming across the border.
You name it, it shows what's wrong with this country and how we need to wake up before its too late.
And what's worse is most people don't see this happening, they don't see how this is going to effect us all until its too late.
God has everything in control, from the climate problems, to disasters, to the idiot (yes that's what I think he is) that we have in the White House. No its not racial, it's political.
As I listen to the song and read the lyrics to this song, I can't help but see that America needs to start fixing itself, and it needs to start with its own government!
Its time to get back to the basics, to what this country was founded on. God and Freedom.
I'm not afraid to say I believe in God, but as I watch what is happening, I see that Jesus is getting 'smaller' as this video sings about. People want God and Jesus out of this country. People will find a way to attack any way they can, and a person's religious values is one of the first things they go after.
I'm 100% behind the reasoning of the Tea Parties. Since Obama didn't know they were happening or so he said, there are advertisements on TV announcing a coast to coast run of Tea Parties happening, and I truly hope to be able to go to one this time.
Its time to take what Toby Keith sings about, what someone wrote for Toby Keith, and change it.
Before its too late.

Can the Kopechne family finally have closure?
However there is belief that it was more than an accidental drowning....Blood on clothes that was turned over to the funeral director from the family discovered blood. And an exhumation of the body would have been needed. And that request was denied.
What really bothers me the most is Edward Kennedy's actions after the accident, he didn't try to seek help that could have saved her life. He didn't question her, he walked away and went about his life as if they were never together.
Are these the actions of an innocent man? Just as I look at many criminals and things like this really peak my interest and give me insight to humans in general, I can't help but think Sen. Edward Kennedy took a secret to his grave. And in my opinion it looks like there was a cover-up.
The Kopechne family didn't go after Sen. Kennedy, and they had every right to! They didn't want it to look like they were out for blood money, but a man swam away from a car that flipped into the water, and lived, while he neglected to get help for his passenger.
It makes me wonder if she was dead or dying before they hit the water! (That is purely my speculation)
The 'scandal' followed Sen Kennedy and prevented him from ever winning the nomination of presidency. I'm sorry but if this man had ever gotten a nomination for president the press would have eaten him alive. He was content to be a lifer in the Senate.
Everyone talks about what a great man Edward Kennedy was, however, this man had a LOT of skeletons in his closet. A past that he probably didn't want dug up again.
I can NOT understand his reckless regard for life life shows in how he voted on abortion issues.
http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Ted_Kennedy.htm
> * Voted NO on defining unborn child as eligible for SCHIP. (Mar 2008)
* Voted NO on prohibiting minors crossing state lines for abortion. (Mar 2008)
* Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. (Apr 2007)
* Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions. (Jul 2006)
* Voted YES on $100M to reduce teen pregnancy by education & contraceptives. (Mar 2005)
* Voted NO on criminal penalty for harming unborn fetus during other crime. (Mar 2004)
* Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions except for maternal life. (Mar 2003)
* Voted NO on maintaining ban on Military Base Abortions. (Jun 2000)
* Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions. (Oct 1999)
* Voted NO on banning human cloning. (Feb 1998)
* Rated 100% by NARAL, indicating a pro-choice voting record. (Dec 2003)
* Expand embryonic stem cell research. (Jun 2004)
* Sponsored bill for emergency contraception for rape victims. (Sep 2006)
* Rated 0% by the NRLC, indicating a pro-choice stance. (Dec 2006)
* Ensure access to and funding for contraception. (Feb 2007) <
When he voted he voted with his party 100% of the time.
While he was from a very high profile family, I have to say right now, I am about as far right and conservative as Ted Kennedy is Liberal. He lost my respect when he supported pure murder and voting not to ban partial birth abortions. No one has given me any sound medical reason that this procedure be performed. Its murder pure and simple but legal, and politician or doctor who supports this disgusts me.
As a man, I admire the battle he fought with cancer. However as a politician I will NOT miss him.
He met God last night, and God has forever decided the fate of Sen. Edward Kennedy, and all I can say based on what I have seen of this man..............
May God have mercy on his soul.

More Drama for Birthers, the ebay seller produces birth certificate
On You Tube
Ok I can't help but wonder why he disappeared off the face of the earth for 1 - 2 months after having his auction pulled 3 times by ebay.
My initial reaction was he's a fraud trying to make money.
He swears its the real thing....
What do I think, I don't know, but its one more reason Barry Soetoro should provide the hospital generated LONG form, unless of course its fake or incomplete, because he wasn't born in the U.S, as he claims, would it be a shocker to you to find out he's lying about one more thing?
How can congress and millions of people expect this man to truthfully run the country when he won't provide the piece of paper that the democrats forced McCain to provide, a LONG form birth certificate!
Yes I'm a birther, yes I believe that Barry Boy is hiding something. Yes I believe he was born in Kenya, and there are many many more questions that are unanswered about his past.... all which he claims are secret....simply because he has locked his past away, and he pays lawyers big bucks to keep ti that way.
He refuses to answer questions about his dual citizenship, and about his Indonesian citizenship.
He uses his grandmother and her illness when it suits him, but outside of that I see him as a pathological liar.!
Nowhere does WND say this is his birth certificate, and they never said that with the one Orly Talitz turned up with, there have been many forgeries and fakes just to try to fool the American Public, and through it all I'm sure Barry Boy is sitting in his office laughing his but off how he fooled the Americans into thinking he's a natural born citizen.
His rise to power is nothing more than an ego trip, he has no blasted experience, and I sure as heck didn't vote for him. I don't like him as a politician. He's from one of the most corrupt states, politically corrupt in the country.
He refuses to divulge why his wife lost the right to practice law, but yet John McCain's wife life was fair game to the press? More double standards!
So once again I call for Barry Soetoro, Barrack Hussein Obama to provide his long form Birth Certificate and put these claims to rest or prove for once and for all where he was born.
This is going to follow him, just like it followed Bush for 8 years that he stole teh election in 2000. HOGWASH, if the Supreme court didnt' intervene, we'd still be counting hanging chads.
The thing that piques my interest in this birth certificate is teh foot print on it. That alone should be able to prove or disprove by markings if it is Barry's or not.
In my honest not so humble opinion, Barry, Barrack, is nothing more than a fraud!

How movies and what they hear influences kids
About a week ago we rented Beverly Hills Chihuahua, my kids watched it and liked it, I thought no problem it was ok for them to see.
Right?
Wrong?
Last night I called my son who ignored me, so I sent my oldest downstairs, to get him and tell him I wanted to see him, I was in the middle of doing something, but when my oldest told my son that I wanted to see him, he said 'Talk to the Paw'..........I have never promoted this kind of talk in my house, and I don't intend to star allowing it now.
Let's look at the phrase talk to the paw, and someone else had to explain it to me, that it could be considered another way of saying 'Talk to the Hand', people on the street and in gangs often say talk to the hand, when they don't want to talk to someone, a paw on an animal would be considered the hand. So in the way he used it, it was pure disrespect to me in saying that.
And people wonder why so many kids have disrespect for adults and others in today's world?
This was a Disney Film!
Lets take a look at the history of Disney films, villians, killing, theft, you name it, good wins over evil, almost always, if not alway.
But now?
We can expect that a supposedly family oriented company to teach our kids the language of the street and gangs, and when that is said to someone else in an authority position isn't going to be looked favorably upon.
I'm sorry but this is just one instance.
I really believe that the movie and gaming industry is responsible, in part, for the attitude of kids today. That and parents don't take the time to tell their kids that what they see and hear in movies, and on the streets is wrong.
So now I'm wondering if I have to screen everything that my son watches to ward off anything like this and determine if its suitable for watching or not.
Companies that make movies like this for kids, should really watch the street lingo in it. Not every kid will understand the meaning of something, but still repeat it back. Or they'll just think its a kewl thing to say, or a neat phrase, regardless.
My son knows my displeasure on this matter, as he is missing both church and youth group today because of it. And I told him if I hear it again, he'll be grounded for a month.

I may not like or Agree with the President, but he does have compassion
Is that what this is coming down to?
This is where I don't think Capital Punishment is used enough. For me this is the perfect situation of an eye for an eye punishment being meted out.
Strap the guy in a plane by remote, no way to escape, chain him down. Remotely control the plane and have it blown to bits while in flight. Yes I think that should be done. Some will see him as a martyr, but many will see it as a fitting end to a person who caused many people endless suffering.
Today upon returning home, to Libya, he was greeted and cheered by flag wavers. This is NOT how a convicted felon, a terrorist should be treated. If I had my way a firing sqad would have greeted him, not flag wavers, not a hero's welcome. British leaders also expressed sentiments the same.
With cancer leaving him 3 months to live, I have to say that he has had longer to live than any of his victims. And what if this is just a ploy to get him out and use him in a terrorist attack that leaves him a martyr, and dead? Is this a ploy for more people, innocents to be killed?
If this is the kind of welcome that they gave a convicted terrorist, then Libya can expect nations like the U.S and Great Britain not to be to welcoming to them as a country or nation.

Why does Congress think we "inherited' a mess when they are the ones that created it!
>Thanks for writing to me about President Obama's policies. It's good to hear from you.
We have inherited a terrible mess, our economy is teetering, and we need to work together to get out of it. I think it is important that we work together to address these problems. You have a right to be heard and to be represented. Please know that my goal is to meet the day to day needs of Marylanders and the long-term needs of our nation. While we may not agree on all issues you have a right to be heard and to be represented. That's why I appreciate learning your views on these issues.
Thanks once again for writing. Please let me know if I can be of assistance in the future.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator
Please do not respond directly to this e-mail. The originating e-mail account is not monitored.
If you would like to get in touch with me again, please visit my Webform at http://mikulski.senate.gov/
<
So being the hothead that I am especially in Politics, I used the above link and responded to her office with this!
>I really didn't appreciate your form letter.
For the Record, BOTH my husband and I believe that we DID NOT inherit a mess,
CONGRESS CREATED THE MESS.
YOU HELPED CREATE THE MESS!
And Barry Soetoro Underwriting loans because his pal has 811 million invested in the company is down right WRONG!
I'm sick of the socialism YOU are pushing down our throats!
CONGRESS created the housing mess! NOT BUSH!
Congress passed Barry's stimulus bill, which was not supported by any Republicans, you HELPED shove this country futher into debt, and my kids don't appreciate it.
You are not working for your constituants, and I look forward to the day you leave politics.
You support abortion, specifically partial birth abortion! Wrong
Barry told us it is our moral obligation to fund abortions, WRONG
he says what people want to hear, and his past is coming to haunt him
You didn't Vet him like you were supposed to do.
He Has yet to PROVE HE'S a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, that crap copy he provided is not a substitute for a long for birth certificate!
PROOF BARRY SOETORO is a SOCIALST, a wolf in sheeps clothing
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=107418
Proof Socialized Health care DOES NOT WORK!
http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5jbjzPEY0Y3bvRD335rGu_Z3KXoQw
And if you'd like my 2 cents?
http://moochette.blogspot.com/2009/08/who-does-president-really-support.html
You are helping Barry Soetoro ruin every MORAL ETHIC this country was founded on.
And I wish you would take the time to give a REAL Answer to us, who tell you what we don't like that YOU and BARRY are doing!<
I really find it amazing that Senators like Barbara Mikulski are so brainwashed by their political party that they actually think that Bush caused this mess.
I find it even more amazing that they can't look beyond the figures and see what Barry Soetoro's health care plan will do to people. There is a proposed 700 Billion cuts in the program. Now in order to make those kind of cuts, I have to say that someone will have to go without care. Will it be the elderly, the people who are to sick, old, and disabled? Or will it be the children born prematurely who need intensive NICU care? My bet is that the old will not get the care first and then the children. But democrats deny it.
In my letter to Mikulski, I documented just one news sight that is from Canada and showing how the Canadian Health Care (government health care) is imploding. They don't have enough money.
I am not below reminding them who they supported for the presidency, A wolf in sheep's clothing', and I sent them the link that WND has been digging on Barry Soetoro's past! A true socialist, not a democrat a socialist. And its apparent that he lied about this during the campaign and the election.
And just for good measure I gave them the link to my blog I wrote the other day saying how I questioned Barry's Loyalties.
I am but a simple person, and I speak out when I feel the need to speak out, His Health Care, Obama-Care, Death Plan, no matter what you call it needs to be stopped. The Left will say that has been debunked but when you look at the numbers, no it hasn't been debunked.
And if Congress would stop and look at how people have voted and polled in the past they will find that Americans don't trust Government health Care! It's not working in Europe, not matter who says it is. Statistics shows its not. One example I read is how 15,000 French people died one summer during a heat wave! You guessed it, the majority if not all of them were elderly people. Why wasn't care given to them or tried to be given to them? The answer which they won't admit, was it was cheaper to let them die.
I don't like the direction that this country is taking politically, and I wish Congress would wake up to what Barry is doing!

Who does the President really support?
This is the same country that the United States has forgiven debt to in the past, several times, and now we are likely to end up doing it again. How about instead of loaning money to other countries, we start getting some of what we loaned back? How about lowering the national debt.
Why not drill off-shore here in the United States?
Because that is tied up in courts and will not be resolved for years.
What good did letting a ban on offshore drilling expire do? None for America and Americans!
The court ordered ban, was only for Alaska, which left plenty of other place that could be drilled to include in the Gulf of Mexico, but Barry had to give the business to Petrobas, which is said to be one of the largest corporations in the Americas!
So I guess my first question would be how does Barry benefit from this new loan. And why didn't he look to off shore drilling in the U.S. The treasury claims to be broke, or running short, we're in the depths of a recession, housing is still in the slumps, unemployment isn't improving, so why not benefit the Good ole U.S.A.
Could it be that he's in the white house for glory only and has an agenda to send us so far down that we end up a Socialist Country? His administration has made no secret about him wanting us to go towards socialism!
Lets back up to the campaign, and the election, do you remember that his very own wife said that she was the first time proud to be an American when her husband was nominated? And the second time she claimed her pride was when he 'won' the election? Do you ever wonder why she only was proud of her country twice in her life?
Lets look back to his pastor and mentor Reverend Wright. Do you ever think that a lot of his 'love' (cough cough) came from a person who criticized America themselves? I know I do. He sat under this mans teaching for years, and yet never denounced his Muslim faith. I know I have some serious questions about his loyalty.
I have looked at blogs that have pointed out lie after lie after lie, and I can not begin to believe how so many people hold this man in high esteem. Almost like a 'god'.
Seeing this news in the Wall Street Journal, no less, really made me step back and think about where does this mans loyalty lie. And I begin to question does he really care about the United States and its Citizens, We the People?
And then I think back to the world summit where he gave a full waisted bow to the King of Saudi Arabia. And again I wonder is this man's loyalty with America or with other countries.
And as I watch this mans actions, I really am beginning to question his loyalty the the United States, and the people of the United States. I only wish Congress would wake up to what he is doing.
Bankrupting this country!
Barry Soetoro (AKA Barack Obama) should take care of this country before trying to help other countries out.

Are people who support Tea Parties Terrorists?
Great just great, because we as Americans stand up for what we believe in, I have not gone to a tea party, however I do support the movement and the cause, doesn't mean we are terrorists.
There are some that have emailed editors and reporters with hate filled emails, but just because they may be racist or against Obama doesn't mean they are terrorists.
Lets look at how Dean Powers compared these Americans to Terrorists.
The Terrorists took over 4 planes on September 11th, using scare tactics and box cutters. Now I've been to a town hall protest, and many of these people are the same people that have been to the tea parties. I didn't see anyone wielding box cutters, I didn't see anyone wielding any weapon or using scare tactics. These people were protesting bailouts, the birth certificate, spending, taxes, 'health care' reform. Never once was a protest anything but peaceful. So how can people who show up to protest and stand for what they believe in be terrorists?
The growing movement against Health Care Reform was not manufactured by a party, it was manufactured by the people who wrote it. And as the 'bill' was more and more interpreted the more and more outraged people were getting.
When you have people who are influential in congress and revered by the Democratic Party, like Nancy Pelosi, say that people who are protesting the health care are 'Un-American' you are more than likely going to see the movement against Socialized Health care grow. Instead of trying to reach out to the protesters the democrats did the only thing they could think of, bus plants in. Which only got people more upset, because it was obvious that they were plants, they couldn't even take the time to memorize their question.
When a father spent time talking to his congressman privately about the health care bill and the care his son would receive gets harassed and stalked at home, then yes I say that people are here to try to imtimidate those that don't think their way.........Just like Dean Powers.
The tactics that Dean Powers describes is not the majority of what is being done by the people protesting. Yes there will be some email, some hate mail, some cursing, some calling names, but out of how many thousands of protesters send that kind of mail. How easy is it for one person to get 100 emails and send the same message out to the same person under different aliases? All to easy.
Dean Powers and many democrats have lumped all people who protested under the same heading as the pepole that are voicing their anger directly to editors and news people. These same people are the ones that use the term 'Tea Baggers' in the offensive way, most of the time.
I stand here and challenge the democrats to say how many different people have said these things to them. Anger is raw. Look at what Obama has done in the 7.5 months he has been in office, spend spend spend spend, and the economy is no better for it, if anything its the same or worse. But the democratic party won't admit that at all. All they can see is their hero is undoing what Bush did.
Lets talk about Bush, his last 2 years were bad, but not near as bad as Barry's first 7 months. Bush's spending was bad, but Congress approved it. In fact from the looks of things once it became apparent that Barry was going to win the election, Bush started with his agenda. Because that's when Bailouts started happening. The transition phase was nothing more than a vision of what was to come.
If Bush was led to believe that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, then Congress bought the lie hook line and sinker as well, because they approved the invasion, and they kept approving the war budget.
So who are the terrorists? Not the American people but the people sitting in Congress that is approving things like the 'stimulus package'
The terrorists are the ones who keep sending our troupes over seas after decrying the war in Iraq, and promising to double the efforts in Afghanistan. These are the same people that said the war was not necessary, but yet they are continuing to support it, send our men and women over there, and continue to let our citizens get killed.
The people that Dean Powers is calling terrorists are not the terrorists. He needs to look no further than Capital Hill to find the terrorists!
I find it very ironic what the Democrats opposed under Bush, is what they are supporting under Obama!

Obama's Myspace page touts he is the age 52 not 48!


Oh dearie me the plot surrounding Obama his age and his birth certificate thickens
, unless this is a page made where someone is impersonating Obama, then that would be a whole different ball game.
Ok lets take a look at Barry's Myspace page, a screen shot that was taken of his page is posted below the screen shot of his certification of live birth.
It clearly states that he is 52! NOT 48!
So, if he is 52 years old that would mean the Certificate of Live Birth that he says is his 'birth certificate' is incorrect! Which would mean if he was born in Hawaii, it was while it was still a territory, but a record, birth certificate, his long form would verify that. Unless as I've said before he's hiding something, which would be a reason that he's locked everything up.
Now if someone, is doing this, other than Barry, I have some very choice words for them, to include, in my book it would be fraudulent to make a page like this purporting to be the President of the United States.
However I have to say this is one more reason that I think Barry Soetoro, or whoever he is should show his long form birth certificate.
So clearly there is an issue here, and possibly a very very big one. Which is true, is Obama 52, or 48 (and the White House has made a big deal of this being his 48th birthday).
Please reveal who you are Barry Soetoro, and people like me would let this go, but until then you have given me and many others indications you are not being truthful as to who you are and where you were born.

How can Pelosi even consider people Un American for protesting
When the going gets tough, its obvious that Nancy Pelosi doesn't get tough, she just resorts to name calling.
And backed by the Majority House Leader, Steny Hoyer, they announced that people who were protesting the health care and town hall meetings, were just 'Un-American'.
Lovely?
This is about as good as Dean Powers calling 'tea baggers terrorists'. Comparing anyone who protested at a Tax Day Tea Party a terrorist......more name calling more mud slinging.
Last time I read the constitution we had freedom of speech, and freedom to protest. There are rules to follow, however, I have not seen a tea party get out of hand and people take to the streets trying to force people what they need to believe.
Yes there may be some racially charged emails to people, but the majority of the people don't go around emailing editors and calling names. We want our voices heard, because People Like Nacy, and Steny are ignoring us. They want what they want and they don't care how they get it. Just like after the election they threw out on the floor more than once, we won and you lost. That behavior is so first grade. Is this what we have to look forward to for the next 3.5 years? Gads I hope not, because if it is I think we are seeing a clear case of open mouth insert foot syndrome. And I though Biden was bad? Pelosi takes the cake there.
I think Nancy Pelosi and her fellow congresspeople should go read the Constitution of the United States. I think they would clearly see that they (not just democrats but ALL PARTIES) have been abusing the power they have been given.

Is Obama 'potentially' the second president to lie about his citizenship?
| http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32440943/ns/politics-more_politics/ There are those that will believe anything they hear, and there are those that will demand proof until the day Obama dies to see that long form birth certificate. I'm sure it does exist, but how it was obtained and what it says is the real story. That piece of paper that Obama has paid millions to keep locked away tells where he was really born. And if he were really born in Hawaii, he would not be paying millions to a lawyer to shoot down every court case any way he can, even dirty tactics....but that's what he's paid for. But here's an interesting story, that the United States may have had another person as president that was not born in the U.S. Chester A. Arthur. Once again a lack of documentation, and a political foes claim kept the rumor alive that he was born in Canada. However with Obama its not just his political foes, his own GRANDMOTHER said herself she was present at his birth in KENYA, not Hawaii. Something sure isn't right and its why people, even myself keep insisting he provide his long form birth certificate.....but I doubt it will happen, I'm just persistent. Just like so many Gore Supporters will say that Bush 'STOLE' the election. That will rage on as long as any birth certificate war, I can guarantee that. The hanging chads, blah blah blah....I listened to it for 8 years, and trust me this isn't about paybacks. Its about protecting the integrity of the constitution. Rumor for Arthur was he was born in Canada, but appriated the name and records of a baby brother that died while an infant. Lack of records, for Chester....Vermont claims that he was likely born there, but lied about who he was and did appropriate his brother's identity...but why? With Obama its not a lack of records, its a matter of sharing them. Every president in my memory has had the media dig through their life looking for the dirt, but with Barry Soetoro, AKA Obama, he locked every record here and abroad away. Not only did he lock them away, he refuses to answer questions about who he is and a past. He's not the first president to possibly not be a Natural Born Citizen, and my guess is that he won't be the last. I just came across this on MSNBC, and thought how ironic this happened in the 1800s, and how this could be fueled even back then without the service of the internet. There are many that Pooh Pooh me for wanting Barry to reveal his long form birth certificate, and Hawaii is working on legislation that would release the records to media personnel that asked for it and had a legitimate reason to ask for it. I truly think there are many like myself that will NOT sign petitions anymore, asking it to be revealed, but still believing that Obama is NOT who he says he is; a natural born citizen. But we won't let you forget that we don't think he's a U.S. Citizen, until he proves he is by his long form birth certificate. Obama has an Obligation of morals and ethics to tell us who he really is! There are too many questions surrounding his birth that supposedly took place in Hawaii, right down to where his mother lived. Because his address was occupied at the time by another couple..... copyright ©2009 m.muccioli Please provide details below to help Gather review this content.

Nationalized Health Care is it Constitutional?
The argument?
What powers are given to the federal government by the Constitution.
http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8
Lets take a look at what Article 1 section 8 of the constitution says the powers granted to congress are: (this is a direct cut and paste from the above link)
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and Post Roads;
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
Where does it say that Congress can establish health care, or nationalized health care. And if it is out of Congress's limits to do heath care, what about Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare? Should these programs be slowly turned over to the states to handle individually instead of the government.
I am sorry but Social Security is bankrupt with no thanks to the Federal Government, years of mismanagement and borrowing against it.
Do people in Congress take the statement literally in the first clause? And believe that they are responsible for every citizen of this country. I would ask that does that mean that when our founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence that our pursuit of happiness is guaranteed?
No it doesn't, and I don't think Congress should take interpreting this as a blessing to take on the task of managing millions of people's health care.
Over the years this document has been interpreted in many different ways by many different people.
An interesting question has been posed by some conservative web sights, asking if Nationalized health care is constitutional. And if I were to read the constitution and take what it said literally I would have to say no.
But how do you feel that the phrase 'general welfare' applies to Nationalized Health care.

More freedoms slipping away before our very eyes?
Is the White House and Obama lifting the ban on cookies? Going back to a spy effort that was in style in the mid 1980's?
How far should the government be able to go in order to spy on us?
I remember the HUGE outcry of protest when Bush authorized domestic spying. Where is that same outcry now? Because if what I read is true we will have absolutely no privacy, and any government sight we go to will be subject to being spied on...Where are these protesters now?
But now, according to the article on World Net Daily, Obama and his staff are seeking to reverse the ban that allows tracking cookies on government web sights.
But, it doesn't stop there, the article goes on to say how many federal agencies have already negotiated contracts that are in blatant violation of a person's privacy. And these agencies are included; Department of Defense, Department of Defense, as well as NSA! Great these people are spying on us without our permission. Where is the outcry that was happening under Bush? Why are the same people not making the same noise?
Is it because that 'their leader' is now in office, so what wasn't ok under Bush, is now OK under Barry Soetoro, AKA Barrack Obama?
Our live and our privacy is at stake here, if we don't agree with Obama, and we visit the White Hosue pages or any government page, will we be subject to harassment by the government? Subjected to problems by IRS or Homeland Security?
Think about it, if what is said is true about these cookies, and according to O'Leary, and his exact words to WND were " A cookie is nothing more than a spying device'. Many sights use them, and they gather information so they know how their sight is being used, but most people don't use them to spy on others, and if they do, it is supposed to be made know that they are doing so.
In short, If Barry and his minions reverse this, nothing we say or do will be private. Any Government web site that we visit we could be punished for visiting, and this is how this country is headed towards a socialist state, not a democracy.
One more freedom, and this is a big one is in jeopardy of being lost.
Or do we have hope that Congress will step in and prevent to much power from being given to the POTUS?

Obama Quadruples the Deficit!
Someone made a comment to me that he had to do this to get us out of the 'mess' that Bush left.
But lets look back to BEFORE Bush and lets look at Clinton. Another DNC 'hero'.
When Bill Clinton was in office he signed NAFTA, as well as borrowed money from Social Security funds so that there would be a surplus. Times were 'good' or so people thought. Not once giving thought to what borrowing money from a near bankrupt program would do to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. No Bill Clinton is not the only person to blame for the bankrupting of Social Security, many past presidents have borrowed money from that fund, and left IOU's in its place.
Bush comes into office, and states he will NOT take money out of that fund, maybe he could have and things would have looked better on paper, but he kept his word, and times weren't quite as good, and things got worse.
Bush every year presented budgets and spending to Congress, the last 2 years were Democrat controlled congress, and they kept approving the spending, now if they didn't agree with it, why did they keep approving it? Why did they keep funding wars that they didn't support, and programs that weren't behind?
I truly think that NAFTA was a reason this country headed into a recession, now we have cap and trade agreements, bailouts, more money being spent than we can every make in a lifetime, so it will be passed down to our kids, and their kids. Not fun.
But Obama has been in office since January, and he, with his democrat controlled congress, have quadrupled the deficit, yet no one seems to notice......it's their 'god' their hero that is doing this. Its good for the economy.
I have one word for that
HOGWASH!
Just like Americans, we can't spend what we can't afford, this country and government shouldn't be doing it either.
Obama when he took office promised to cut the deficit in half......well I guess we now know how he plans to cut the deficit in half. By cutting his own spending in half, that would do it, and everyone will forget that he spent more than Bush ever spent. Their god will have pulled them through once more and eyes will look the other way.
Just like with his birth certificate. Eyes are ignoring the warning signs and looking the other way. There probably is a birth certificate, its a matter of what it says and how it was obtained.
Obama wants control, and if he gets control, I fear that he may try to not leave office. With his democrat controlled congress, we are seeing the Constitution, and every value, moral and ethic, this great country was founded on destroyed before our very eyes.
Obama is being given to much power and congress is to blind to see it or stop it!

Its Not Racial Its Political
I'm sorry to the Liberals who have fallen for their 'hero' hook line and sinker. Because the DNC orchestrated the Obama take over, because he has NO political experience, and they can mold and shape the policies to 'their desire'. To give them more control.
I just came from the Town Hall Protest in Bel Air Maryland, because our elected official, FrankKratovil, held the town hall in a room that only held a small number of people and would not allow everyone to be heard. Please note there was a school across the street that would have held many more people in the gymnasium or in the auditorium. Where was Frank today addressing the concerns of his 'constituents'? In hiding......People were not protesting Obama because of his skin color, they were protesting him because of his political policies, and how he is changing this country for the worse.
Fox 45 News, packed up their camera because they said it wasn't a politically motivated protest, it was a racially motivated protest. No one there called Obama names, no on there disrespected him......its becoming clear that more and more people are not liking the change that Obama is giving this country. And as I said before he's not doing it alone, he's got he likes of Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Mikulski and many others that think his change is good. It's not, it's Socialism.
There were many signs there disapproving of Obama and his policies, signs asking for Erlich to come back, kids there with their parents, chanting to stop spending their money for them. These are kids that were 8-10 years old. Good for them to speak up and voice their opinion.
What I saw was a peaceful protest, voicing our concern over Government health care, voicing concerns over the continued bailouts, voicing concern over Congress approving 550 million for 5 new luxury jets for them to be able to fly in. I don't see this making the economy any better. I saw people opposing Obama's words saying that 'every citizen is morally responsible to fund abortions'. I'm sorry many people don't feel that way.
I saw only ONE sign of the 'joker poster' of Obama. And while some may call that racist. You could also say that they are saying that Obama is a fool as a politician, not a person.
Obama and his cronies are ruining this country and there are people who are not afraid to take a stand for what they believe in.
We need our voices to be heard, because there will come a time when it will be too late and our voices may be silenced, and if Barry Soetoro, aka Barrack Obama, and congress keeps giving the government, especially the POTUS, the power, our voices will be silenced.
People don't want Obama-Care, the health bill, like the Stimulus Bill is so long that no one can read it before voting on it. No one can completely understand all of it, before voting on it. Once again we are going to see it pushed through without law makers knowing but a fraction of whats in it. And of course there won't be any pictures to help them out. Barrack Obama KNOWS he has the votes to push it through, and he's trying to paint a glorious picture of health care, and its going to turn out to a disaster.
People didn't want the Bailouts, or stimulus package because all it did was shove us deeper into debt. The people that benefited from the stimulus, how long will these 'new job' last. The Auto Bailouts just prolong Bankruptcy for Chrysler and GM, and we still have to pay for it!
Look at AIG, they took the money and paid bonuses with it. Granted many did give it back, however it wasn't right.
Congress chides the 'big 3' for flying in private jets when the economy is so bad, but its ok for them to take tax money and allocate it for just 5 new jets.
Something needs to be done to stop our government
Contact you elected officials and let them know that you are not going to stand for the direction the Government is taking this country.
As I said before, its not a racially motivated protest, its a politically motivated protests. And the news outlets, even Fox 45 and their reporters are too blind to see that!

Adobe Software Sales on Ebay
So while I was hammering this out with Adobe, I went back on Ebay and bought a SECOND copy of CS3, because CS4 is out you are finding it a lot cheaper, well I found one buy it now, and I bought it, a week later the seller's ebay account was suspended and ALL of their auctions were taken off ebay. Seems that they were selling pirated copies. So I go to install my copy of CS3 that I bought sure enough it didn't install, it wouldn't register properly, back on the phone with Adobe, all they could do was run me in circles, and not give me an answer of how to tell it was pirated. In fact their overseas customer support left me in tears and calling them a few choice names. I gave up with them. I had to contact corporate offices here in the United States, needless to say talking to someone from the U.S and being able to understand them helped my husband and I resolve the problem. I am no waiting for Adobe to contact me from the Piracy department, to return the software to them. I filed a claim but PayPal couldn't wait for me to get the information that they wanted from Adobe, so I lost 100.00, which I would rather loose the money than to have this software back on the streets.
Be careful when you buy expensive software off Ebay, because there are a lot of pirated copies out there. And its getting to the point that the fake software is getting so good, that people can't tell its pirated. The 2 copies of CS3 that I bought looked exactly like the real thing.
I would only buy from someone who is getting rid of a personal copy and one that they bought and registered themselves.
Trust me, having bought 2 copies of CS3 and having 2 copies turn out to be fake/pirated software, I'm not in a hurry to try a 3rd time.
Use caution. If its an open box of software ask the seller to call Adobe to verify the serial number before you bid.
Mooch
How do you mourn a person like George Sodini?
A life changing experience for many people.....people were killed and the man that was responsible for it all shot himself in the head.
The blog, ah yes, the blog that states he was planning this for months. The blog that was meant to make us all feel sorry for the gunman, the ultimate victim. At least so he thinks.
I've read the blog, although the original hosting site has taken it down, many sights have mirrored it or copied it.
One such news sight
http://www.nypost.com/seven/08052009/news/nationalnews/full_text_of_gym_killers_blog_183111.htm
The views on this blog are mixed. Its fake, its real.
What I see is a person that has issues, maybe, note the word maybe, even a mental disorder. How could people have missed this? Because if this were online someone would have reported it to someone as a person who was acting crazy. Did he write it and publish it the day he decided to commit the act?
Does he really believe that he will go to heaven having murdered people? What did he really believe that Jesus and God would say to him? Well done for killing people and yourself? If it was just him, I would tend to think that if he was a Christian, saved by the Blood of the Lamb, that God would understand depression, but he planned this, it was cold blooded murder not just his life but others as well.
There is no seeking justice for families and friends of those that were shot and killed, they are left asking why us God.
A quote from his blog about God and the church he went to:
>Tetelestai Church in Pittsburgh, PA – “Be Ye Holy, even as I have been Ye holy! Thus saith the lord thy God!”, as pastor Rick Knapp would proclaim. Holy shit, religion is a waste. But this guy teaches (and convinced me) you can commit mass murder then still go to heaven. Ask him. Call him at (xxx) xxx-xxxx. If no answer there, he should still live at xxx 9th Street, Oakmont, PA 15139. In any case, guilt and fear kept me there 13 long years until Nov 2006. I think his crap did the most damage. Their web site: http://www.tetelestai.org.<
I think that if this man really believe that he could go to heaven after doing a mass murder, he missed something in the messages, but who knows, I've never been to this church so I can't say first hand what they do and do not preach, and they don't take email submissions.
But how do you mourn a man, or feel sorry for him and his life, when he exits this world by his own hand, not only taking his own life with him, but the life of other innocent people? I guess all you can do is say a prayer for him, and pray that if he was suffering from a mental illness that God would have mercy on his soul.
I have not seen that he was under any care of a doctor or under the influence of any medications, however that doesn't mean he wasn't.
I think the best thing would to be not focus as much on George Sodini, and focus on reaching out to pray for the families of the people injured and killed.

Food Network Got it right last night
I have read several pages of comments on Bob Tuschman's blog on the food network website. And while I can appreciate that it was a very tough decision, had Jeffrey won I don't see myself as flocking to watch a show that implies stealing, Ingredient Smuggler? Just didn't sit well with me. Don't get me wrong he's got the cooking chops, he just doesn't come across as knowledgeable as Melissa.
I don't know how many times I've pleaded with the Food Network to bring on someone credible with the home-maker, stay at home, work at home mom, a show that brings out some ideas for picky eaters.
Think to the episode that the finalist had to cook for the renowned chefs of the world. Melissa started out with a Ratatouille. I've heard its not as easy to make as it sounds, but she made it sound so simple, EZPOT. Cooking the vegetables in order, Eggplant, Zuchinni, Potatoes, Onions, Tomatoes, hence, EZPOT. I watched that episode thinking I could actually one day try making a ratatouille. And throughout the competition she gave such great advice like this, making her fun to watch. It was like watching her evolve from the hectic mom into a star, and that is what brought her out to be a winner. She was a class act all the way.
People say she had inconsistencies in her stories, ok, I think they all did. She did what food network asked her to do, bring herself into her cooking true or false, its not a resume its life, truth or fiction she brought her charm to her style.
I never would have thought of putting raw brussell sprouts on top of food, but its an idea, you never know if kids will like it or not.
I loved how Bobby Flay was going to steal her idea, and well her 4 step chicken and its something that can be varied and done in so many ways, that you can take a protein and change it and mix it up, and change the ingredients, to make it different. I wanted to taste what she made right then and there....I didn't get that feeling with Jeffrey. I hope down the road Food Network could use him. And maybe even Michael in live demos where there isn't a camera shoved in his face.
Debbie Lee had a great concept, but her downfall was that of Teddy, she wouldn't be accountable for when she made an error. I'm sorry but the errors she made just didn't cut it with me or many people, she often played it too safe, as did Jamika.
So as I watched the finale last night with baited breath wanting Melissa to win, thinking Jeffrey would win, I can't help but think Food Network picked the right person.
So many people say that they picked the same old cookie cutter mold that they already have, I disagree with this simply because I feel more a connection with Melissa as a parent, and even though Jeffrey is a dad and parent, I didn't feel the connection with him that I got from watching Melissa.
