Ben Breedlove had a heart condition which resulted in his death at the end of 2011. He died at the age of 18 from a cardiac arrest. Before his death, he posted these videos sharing his story. He describes a near death experience he had as a result of his heart condition. Simply amazing....

Rep. Allen West: "Obama, Reid, Pelosi Get the Hell Out of the USA!"

2012-01-29T13:39:00.000-08:00

This man doesn't pull any punches. He lets the Democratic machine know exactly what he thinks of them. Rep. West is awesome! Liberals need to stop dragging down the USA and enslaving the American people into dependency. If they hate the U.S. so much and the ideals that America stands for then they should leave for a country that believes in the same socialist ideas as they do instead of ruining the land of the free and the home of the brave. I have posted part of his speech below. You can see the entire speech at The Daley Gator.

The Unvarnished Muslim Roundup: Egypt Extremism, TLC's "All American Muslim" Imam Exposed, Boko Haram Attacks in Nigeria, and Football Player Brutally Assaulted by...

2012-01-26T21:46:00.000-08:00

First, we have an Egyptian Salafi leader stating that Egypt's Christians can be dealt with like the Jews of Medina. Obviously Yassir Al-Burhami didn't get the memo from the moderate Muslims in the West that talk of the jizya and making Christians submit as inferiors to Islamic law is out of bounds for Muslims to say and believe. Intolerance run amok...

Yassir Al-Burhami said this:
'Can the Christians of Egypt be compared to the Jews of Al-Medina? The case of the Jews of Al-Medina is one example of the relations between the Muslims and the infidels. The Muslims can implement any form of conduct used by the Prophet Muhammad. When the Prophet Muhammad was still in Mecca, he dealt with the infidels in a certain way, and when the Muslims are weak, they should deal with the infidels this way. "Refrain from action, pray, and pay the zakkat."'

Second, the Muslim extremist group called Boko Haram continues to wreak havoc across Nigeria. In a recent violently deadly set of bombings across Nigeria that were committed by Boko Haram left at least 120 people dead in Kano.

Because of all the violence panic has ensued and many Catholics and Christians are fleeing Northern Nigeria.

From CNA: As many as 35,000 people have fled their homes in northern Nigeria after continuing attacks from the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram. Their numbers include a large number of Catholics who report that churches have been destroyed.

“There is panic. Many just leave everything behind, and run for safety, because they do not know when violence might flare up again,” a source told Aid to the Church in Need on Jan. 24.

Churches have also been destroyed in Maidiguri in Borno and the city of Bauchi, in Bauchi state.

“It is the stated goal of Boko Haram to make the whole of the north free of Christians,” one source told Aid to the Church in Need.

At the beginning of January, Boko Haram spokesman Abu Qaqa gave Christians a three-day ultimatum to leave the area.

Refugees are headed to where they believe it is safe, especially the city of Jos.

Boko Haram’s name means “western education is sinful” in Nigeria’s Hausa language. The group has killed at least 935 people since its 2009 uprising, and more than 250 since the beginning of 2012, Human Rights Watch reports.

The Catholic bishops of Nigeria have decried the actions of the group.

Next, we have a group of football players from high school who beat the crap out of another high football player, kicking him so hard they gave him a concussion. The police got involved and charged those who brutalized the quarterback with assault. Now the lawyers for the accused are crying ethnic profiling and claiming that the accused causing the victim to have a concussion after kicking the crap out of the football player is simply one of those 'skirmishes' in post play. Here we have Muslims who beat the crap out of a Christian football player trying to play like they are the victims. This Christianophobia needs to stop. This placating Muslims like there some type of especially protected group in the U.S. has to stop. They need to realize they are obligated to live by the same rules as everyone else who lives in America. This assault happened in the wonderful land of Detroit (sarcasm). There is more on the Muslim high school students charged with assault here.

TLC's "All American Muslim" Imam becomes unhinged again. He spews venomous hatred towards Jews.

From Atlas Shrugs:

" Sheikh Husham Al-Husainy, who appeared on All-American Muslim, recently debated the author of The Deception of Allah, Christian Prince, and revealed his hatred of Jews and Israel. He said that soon Muslims will destroy Israel. Thus the All-American Muslim imam again shows his true colors. Remember, he melted down on Hannity in 2007 after praying an Islamic prayer cursing Jews and Christians at a Democratic National Committee meeting. And last December 14 here at Atlas I posted Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack's expose about this supposedly "moderate" imam. "

"Imam Husham Al Husainy: soon the Islamic Army will attack Israel."

The so-called moderate Muslim Imam is exposed for the violence endorsing Muslim extremist that he really is.

Sen. Rand Paul Talks With Glenn Beck About TSA Detainment After He Refused Pat Down

2012-01-25T09:44:00.000-08:00

The TSA gropes grandmas, children, and senators while the real terrorists are planning new ways to skirt around our ludicrous security measures. The U.S. government has no right to authorize the sexual assault of those who simply want to fly a plane. If the machine picks people at random as Rand Paul suspects the X-ray scanners are useless pieces of equipment. I do think he is correct about that since the first time he went through he was tagged by the machine for a pat down and the second time he wasn't. When something is being used indiscriminately and isn't targeted to the problem, like who may or may not pose a threat, then the machine is doing more harm than good giving people a false sense of security. What a useless piece of junk.

Attack On Religious Liberty: Obama Administration Gives Non-Profit Groups One Year To Violate Consciences

2012-01-23T14:52:00.000-08:00

Obama Administration's attack on the Catholic Church is an attack on everyone's religious liberty.

Under Obamacare all hospitals including non-profit and religious hospitals will be required to provide no-cost contraceptives including the birth control pill, morning after pill, and sterilization services. The Obama administration has decided to give a one year exemption to some non-profit groups on religious grounds but after the year ends they will be required to provide the above mentioned contraceptive benefits. This is yet another example of Obama and progressives working to undermine the Constitution and of them violating our Constitutional liberties.

Archbishop of New York and Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan met personally with President Obama to talk about this matter. Dolan said this was the president’s way of saying, "we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences."

There is an exception but Archbishop Dolan says it’s too narrow. Donohue agreed calling it a catch-22 because only if you’re a Catholic university, hospital, any non-profit organization that services and hires only Catholics, then that institution can be exempt. “One of the great things about the Catholic Church is the catholic with the small ‘c’, it means universal. We service people who are not Catholic. We always have since the immigrants in this country going back hundreds of years ago.”

This is another example of Obama saying one thing and then doing the opposite, essentially saying to the person or group screw you. He doesn't give a crap that you have different beliefs than he does. So much for tolerance. Obama and progressives are the most intolerant of all, shoving their secularist immorality down our throats. It has become evident that he was lying when he promised Catholics that he would respect their "conscience rights" when he delivered his commencement address at Notre Dame in 2009. Of course citizens have become so accustomed to Obama lying he has been dubbed the Liar-in-Chief.

Will Post Rule 5 Tomorrow, "The Eye"

2012-01-21T18:08:00.000-08:00

I have been feeling under the weather for the past week and have had a huge headache since yesterday. Thankfully, my head has been feeling better since this afternoon. Plus, I think I have figured out what has been causing my huge headaches. I have had a prosthetic eye since I was a wee little one and I am not sure how many glass eyes I've had made for me over the years but I do know that I had the last one made for me about 15 years and it is well past due being replaced. Since my prosthetic eye only had two scratches on it my doctor said it was okay to keep. But, now I think the number of years I have had it has taken its toll on the eye. If you like scary thrillers I recommend both the original and remake of "The Eye".

Here Rick Santorum answers a question on the proposed bill, called SOPA. One blog over at RedState.com uses one section of his comment to promote the lie, that he supports SOPA. That is untrue. He does support some type of piracy legislation. He says that he is not familiar with the bill so he doesn't have an opinion one way or the other on it.

Here is a congressman who is familiar with the bill. Rep. Issa has concerns with regards to SOPA. He explains some basic flaws with the bill.

EAGLE FREEDOM LINKS -- Cartoon Edition -- 1-17-12

2012-01-17T15:42:00.000-08:00

I have a few thoughts on the state of the GOP primaries. For the past couple weeks I have been fatigued health wise but I have also gotten dog tired by all the infighting among the GOP candidates themselves and among the supporters of the various candidates. I don't know whether its because of my being sick and tired of politics or whether its because I have been extremely tired due to something health-related but I have been somewhat edgy in some of my comments lately. As of now I am fighting a cold and a fever so I will probably just take it easy for a couple days. I do have one post ready to put up on Catholibertarian, though. I was originally going to take a break from the blog and then changed my mind. Then, I had decided that I was going to post political cartoons, comedy, history, philosophy, and theology and stay away from the political scene a little while but now I am unsure what I am going to do, whether I will post on politics or not. We need to stop giving fodder to the Democrats and start focusing on our main goal which is to make sure that Barack Obama is a one term president. No matter who the GOP nominee is the person will most certainly be better than Barack Obama. Let's be cordial to one another and stop with the insulting labels like neoconservatives, Paleoconservatives etc.or ridiculing others who may believe in a different worldview of conservatism than you and realize that we are all conservatives who want to save our country from tyranny. We need to stand up together to save America and promote freedom and liberty. God Bless America.

Endorsements Galore for Santorum: Evangelical Leaders, South Carolina GOP Leaders and More...

2012-01-16T16:08:00.000-08:00

About 150 evangelicals gathered in Texas to vote on which presidential candidate they should rally around to support to be the GOP nominee. After the third round of voting the group decided to back Rick Santorum. They wanted an alternative candidate to Romney and ended up coalescing around Santorum. This is great news for Rick.

From Fox News: The call to back Santorum was only finalized after three rounds of ballots. On the third ballot, Santorum received 85 of 114 votes cast -- some conservative leaders who had been backing Gingrich changed their votes in the end to support Santorum. The group rallied around the idea that Santorum, and not Gingrich, is the candidate best able to beat President Obama in November.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, expressed surprise that the group agreed to back Santorum by such a wide margin, after failing to come together in support of a single candidate in 2008. In that race, the group didn't even meet until the primary race was basically over. This time, according to J.P. Duffy of the Family Research Council, the group wanted to come together "before it was too late."

Rick has received more endorsements from three South Carolina GOP leaders - Stephen Brown, Bill Connor, and Patrick Haddon - Maggie Gallagher of the National Organization For Marriage and the pro-life activist Abby Johnson.

It's Tebow Time.... Broncos versus Patriots

2012-01-14T16:37:00.000-08:00

The Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is an inspiration the way he shines forth the love of God. His birth is a true testament to God's ability to create miracles. His mother was advised to get an abortion when he was in his mother's womb but she chose not to get one. God protected her Little One and made sure that he had enough nutrients to survive even though only an extremely small portion of the placenta was attached to her son - Tim. Even the doctors deemed the fact that his mom gave birth to a healthy baby boy a miracle. God has given each of us gifts that hopefully we will use for good. Tim Tebow has a gift of having a magnificent throwing arm, as evidenced by not only the superb throw in overtime last week but also in some of his other throws through the course of last week's game. Those that talk to God and have a good relationship with him are given God's grace to be a force for good in the world. Tim is a very talented football player and hopefully he will be able to pull off an upset against the Patriots. Go Tim!

All-American Muslim that was Arrested For Massive Night Club Bomb Plot also Attacked,Bloodied Christian Street Preachers

2012-01-11T09:28:00.000-08:00

Atlas Shrugs has posted about the arrest of the Kosovo native who plotted Tampa bombings in her post titled All-American Muslim Arrested in Florida in Massive Night Club Bomb Plot: "We All Have To Die, So Why Not Die The Islamic Way?"

Kosovo native plotted Tampa bombings, feds say CNN

(CNN) -- A Florida man, arrested Saturday for allegedly plotting to bomb night clubs and the sheriff's headquarters in Tampa, Florida, faces a federal judge on a terror charge Monday afternoon, federal prosecutors said.

Sami Osmakac, a 25-year-old naturalized American born in Kosovo, planned a car bombing that would be followed by hostage-taking and the explosion of a suicide belt he planned to wear, according to a criminal complaint made public Monday.

"We all have to die, so why not die the Islamic way?" Osmakac allegedly told an undercover FBI employee, according to the complaint.

The federal investigation of Osmakac began in September when a "confidential human source" told the FBI that Osmakac, a resident of Pinellas Park, Florida, "asked for al Qaeda flags," the complaint said.

A law enforcement official, who asked not to be identified because the official was not authorized to talk about the probe, said the suspect does not appear to have any ties to al Qaeda, and early information indicated he was "self-radicalized."

[...] By November, the suspect was discussing potential terror targets in Tampa and asked for the confidential source's help in getting guns and explosives for the attacks, the complaint said.

The government's source introduced Osmakac to an undercover FBI employee, which led to a December 21 meeting during which the suspect said "he wished to acquire an AK-47-style machine gun, Uzi submachine guns, high capacity magazines, grenades and an explosive belt," the complaint said. He later allegedly gave the FBI employee a $500 down payment for the weapons, it said.

"The explosives and firearms that he allegedly sought and attempted to use were rendered inoperable by law enforcement and posed no threat to the public," the government said.

Osmakac, in a New Year's Day meeting with the undercover FBI employee, outlined his plot, it said. His alleged bomb targets were "night clubs in the Ybor City area of Tampa, the operations center of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Ybor City and a business in the South Tampa area of Tampa," the government said.

After the car bombing, he would retrieve guns and explosives stashed in a Tampa hotel room to begin the second phase of his attacks, the complaint said.

He told the FBI employee that "he wanted to use the explosive belt to 'get in somewhere where there's a lot of people' and take hostages," the complaint said. He would then demand that the FBI "release some prisoners," it said.

"Once I have this ... they can take me in five million pieces," he allegedly said, "an apparent reference to the explosive belt that would be attached to his waist," the government said.

FBI agents arrested Osmakac Saturday night, just after he "made a video of himself explaining his motives for carrying out the planned violent attack," the government said.

"Self-radicalized"?!? The politically correct dhimmified term borders on the absurd. No ties to al-Qeada? He asked for an al-Qaeda flag. How about digging a little bit deeper .... We wouldn't want to unearth that a Muslim who immigrated here from Kosovo was radicalized and followed Al-Qeada's Jihad Way would we? That could prove that we "Islamophobes" (as dhimmis like to call us) - the truth-tellers who reveal the violence of radical Islam - are correct in our views. Of course dhimmis, progressives, or the politically correct, ignore the facts and the reality just because it doesn't fit into their preconceived notions that have been robotically programmed into their brains by secularists in society today. We wouldn't want to discredit the "religion of peace" would we? Especially while our military and pro-lifers have been classified as "domestic terrorists" by Homeland Security even though there is no proof to suggest that those who are truly pro-life endorse violence. But the evidence that shows how violence has permeated the "religion of peace" across the globe is prevalent.

Atlas Shrugs has found a video which shows this same devout Muslim from Kosovo having attacked and bloodied Christian street preachers.

Does having a conversation and even possibly provoking with words equal battery? This is one ignorant, arrogant, dhimmi police officer.

From Atlas Shrugs:

New video has emerged that shows how pious and violent Sami Osmakac really was. Devout Muslim Osmakac attacked and bloodied Christian street preachers in the above video (minute 5:20). Please stay with the video if you have time, because it is important that you see the pious Osmakac, who was the complete aggressor, cry victim to the police (minute 8:14), saying he was "insulted," the same ficticious narrative we are bombarded with daily by Islamic groups and Muslim Brotherhoood organizations like CAIR.

The police, in what has become standard practice in dealing with Islamic supremacists, treat the perp and the victim with equal contempt, actually charging the bloodied Christian with battery. According to the youtube description:

They would not view the video nor did they talk to any of the witnesses. Here is the video you be the judge and then call the Tampa police department and tell them to drop these trumped up charges and do their job properly. Case # 11-217735, ORI# 0290200 The (I hate to give him this title) police officers name and badge number are Kevin Krupa Badge # 565.
Here is their number (813) 242-3800
You can also call the Chief of Police 813-276-3799
Or the Mayor at 813-274-8251

The charge made against the Christian protester is bogus.

Double Standard Exposed: MSM Consistently Cries Wolf on Racism

2012-01-09T19:49:00.000-08:00

The fact that progressives consistently make false accusations of racism when conservatives criticize the President has rendered the charge of racism meaningless and a joke. That is unfortunate for the times when racism actually occurs.

King Obama's Power Trip: ILLEGAL Non-Recess Appointments

2012-01-08T19:27:00.000-08:00

From Big Peace: In an editorial both Edwin Meese, the former U.S. Attorney General under President Ronald Reagan, and Todd Gaziano, Director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, stated that President Obama's unilateral appointment of three individuals to the NLRB and Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau while the Senate was NOT in recess is a “breathtaking violation of the separation of powers and the duty of comity that the executive owes to Congress.”

The authors asserted:

…never before has a president purported to make a “recess” appointment when the Senate is demonstrably not in recess. That is a constitutional abuse of a high order.

The beauty of this editorial is that Mr. Meese and Mr. Gaziano provide instruction to handle this rogue president who continues to thumb his nose at the Constitution. They continue:

President Obama’s flagrant violation of the Constitution not only will damage relations with Congress for years to come but will ultimately weaken the office of the presidency. There eventually may be litigation over the illegal appointments, but it will be a failure of government if the political branches do not resolve this injustice before a court rules…Congressional leaders of both parties must vigorously (though thoughtfully) defend their prerogatives. Senators could filibuster all presidential nominations, as Sen. Robert C. Byrd did in 1985 over a lesser recess appointment issue, until Obama rescinds these wrongful appointments. The House or Senate could condition all “must-pass” legislation for the remainder of 2012 on an agreement to rescind these appointments. The House also could require the attorney general to produce legal justification and testify at oversight hearings.

The authors conclude:

If Congress does not resist, the injury is not just to its branch but ultimately to the people.

Of course as long as Nancy Pelosi gets to advance her agenda, gets her way, she is totally fine with the President abusing his power - the Democrat President.

The Daily Caller points out that in an outrageous move, even more so than his appointment of Richard Cordray to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the President appointed two union lawyers to the NLRB even though the GOP never obstructed his nominees and weren't even given the chance to vet the normal paperwork or do background checks. These appointments are most certainly unconstitutional since Congress wasn't in recess.

Craig Becker, a radical union leader wrote that “Employers should be stripped of any legally cognizable interest in their employees’ election of representatives.” Unfortunately for Obama's pro-union radical agenda, Becker's term expired at the end of 2011. When Congress refused to go to recess so that they could block equally radical outrageous appointments Obama decided to go under the radar while people were fired up over his controversial appointment of Cordray and appoint two union lawyers to the NLRB.

Here is some information on the two new NLRB appointees from The Daily Caller:

The little we know about Block and Griffin is not encouraging. Block was a longtime staffer for Senator Ted Kennedy, and is almost certainly a lockstep vote for the Becker agenda of upending employer rights.

Griffin has the dubious distinction of being the second board member ever (Becker was first) to join the NLRB directly from a labor union. In Griffin’s case, it’s the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE), where he was general counsel.

The IUOE is an especially autocratic union that has been criticized by union activists for imposing strict Internet censorship on union members who have the temerity to run against current union leadership. Griffin justified the gag rule as necessary to protect the “union’s sensitive and/or confidential internal workings.” Griffin even tried to impose fines on his own union workers for challenging the gag rule in court.

In 1998 testimony to a House committee, Griffin argued for more expansive NLRB powers to order fines and other remedies, for allowing the board to enforce its decisions without a court order and for allowing unions to organize at single locations. Most significantly, in that testimony Griffin was asked directly whether unions and employers both engage in illegal conduct. He said: “The vast majority of illegal conduct is committed by employers, and therefore the vast majority of charges are addressed to employer conduct.”

Congress needs to pass a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act to send a message to Obama to stop ignoring the Constitution, bypassing the Constitution, to stop abusing his power and reverse his appointments.

A Rant on the Wussification of America

2012-01-06T19:33:00.000-08:00

Thank You Rick Santorum: If It Wasn't for Your Support of Specter We (most likely) Wouldn't Have Either Alito or Roberts on Supreme Court

2012-01-05T21:30:00.000-08:00

Senator Arlen Specter was the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee when Rick Santorum was in the senate. Being the sneaky opportunistic little devil that Specter was he pretty much blackmailed Santorum, saying if you support my reelection bid I will support whichever Supreme Court nominees that Pres. Bush picks. The fact that Specter was the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee meant that he had a lot of power over who was going to make it out of the committee. So, yes, Santorum supported Specter over Toomey. Santorum knew that his decision to do so would be a greater benefit in the long run to both conservatism and the pro-life movement. Now, we have Justices Samuel Alito and John Roberts, two conservative strict constructionists that will be on the Supreme Court for a very long time which will benefit us for years to come. What if Santorum had said no to Specter and there were two moderate wishy-washy types sitting on the bench today where would that leave us with Obamacare and other important controversial issues brought before the Supreme Court? So, I send a big thank you to Rick Santorum for supporting the greater good. Pennsylvania conservatives should be thanking Santorum for this, not chastising him and railing against him because of what you perceive as a mistake, a blemish on his conservative, pro-life credentials. His conservative, pro-life credentials are very much in tact. He supported Specter in exchange for two pro-life justices who are now sitting on the Supreme Court. He made a good deal. Santorum made the best decision he could have at that time. He turned a lemon into lemonade IMO because now we have two lifetime appointed, pro-life, strict constructionist justices on the Supreme Court.

Glenn Beck on Ron Paul: Soros Connection? 9/11 Truther?

2012-01-05T11:44:00.000-08:00

Apparently Barney Frank and Ron Paul partnered in a project called the Sustainable Defense Task Force in which the main purpose was to reduce defense spending by around $1Trillion over the next ten years. I am in favor of making some cuts to the defense budget but these type of deep cuts are irresponsible and will be detrimental to the safety of the U.S. Anything that says "sustainable" or has that in its title I am quite leery of. That usually means that the group follows progressive principles which seeks to undermine the Constitution and all that makes the United States good as a nation.

There is a difference between cutting and gutting the defense budget. Plus, the cuts that Ron Paul, Barney Frank, Soros & Co proposed is not limited to the reduction of the number of bases and/or military personnel overseas but rather it guts very important parts of defense that our integral to our national security.

Here is a list of the the individuals on the Task Force.

Sustainable Defense Task Force

Carl Conetta, Project on Defense Alternatives - Connected to George Soros
Benjamin H Friedman, Cato Institute -
William D Hartung, New America Foundation - Connected to George Soros
Christopher Hellman, National Priorities Project - Connected to Soros
Heather Hurlburt, National Security Network - Connected to George Soros
Charles Knight, Project on Defense Alternatives - Connected to Soros
Lawrence J Korb, Center for American Progress - Connected to Soros
Paul Kawika Martin, Peace Action - Connected to George Soros
Laicie Olson, Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation - Connected to Soros
Prasannan Parthasarathi, Boston College
Miriam Pemberton, Institute for Policy Studies
Laura Peterson, Taxpayers for Common Sense
Christopher Preble, Cato Institute
Winslow Wheeler, Center for Defense Information - Connected to George Soros

Front Page Mag provides more insight into those who have Soros connections.

The panel of experts who would decide how to best gut national defense featured such independent thinkers as William D. Hartung of the New America Foundation. Hartung’s main expertise was appearing in “Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire.”
Then there was Lawrence J. Kolb of the Center for American Progress and Miriam Pemberton of the Institute for Policy Studies. If you want to know what the Center, the Foundation and the Institute all have in common, it’s Hungarian and smells like stale cabbage and the death of nations.
The rather creepy Institute for Policy Studies issued a paper proposing that Obama act as king and rule through executive orders. The New American Foundation is not only backed by Soros but has his son on its leadership council. The Center for American Progress is run by the co-chair of Obama’s transition team and is, for all intents and purposes, the think tank of the White House. All three are Soros funded.
But it doesn’t end there. Also on the panel was Christopher Hellman of the National Priorities Project (NPP). If you are wondering what the NPP is, it’s a think tank whose objective is to “influence national spending priorities.” And if you’re in the mood for a double, Miriam Pemberton is also on the board of the NPP. The man behind the curtain at NPP? None other than our favorite Hungarian James Bond villain.
Going further down the list there’s Winslow Wheeler of the Center for Defense Information (CDI). The CDI’s goal is to strengthen “national and international security through international cooperation [and] reduced reliance on unilateral military power to resolve conflict.” CDI operates under the aegis of the World Security Institute, which is apparently the least creepy name they could think of. Wheeler is a Counterpunch contributor, a site which even Stalinists think goes a bit too far. CDI gets money from the Open Society Institute (OSI) where the stench of death and stale cabbage never goes away.
You can see additional information here.
Did you see that 9 out of the 14 members on the Task Force are connected to George Soros? I find that deeply troubling. I find that troubling on so many levels, especially since Ron Paul claims to be "principled". If he is so principled why did he allow so many people (or any) with connections to George Soros to sit on his Sustainable Defense Task Force?

From FrontPage Mag: "The task force’s proposals included cutting nuclear deterrence; reducing the fleet by 57 ships, including two carriers; canceling the Joint Strike Fighter; “severely curtail missile defense” — and that is a direct quote from the report — retiring four Marine battalions; reducing the military by 200,000 personnel; cutting defense research spending by 50 billion over ten years; and increasing health care fees for members of the military."

<p>&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Your browser does not support iframes.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;</p>

I agree with Beck's assessment of Ron Paul.

EAGLE FREEDOM LINKS -- Piano Rock Edition - 1-3-2012

2012-01-03T19:12:00.000-08:00

Now we have entered into the new year, 2012. I would like to wish all blessings, good health, and prosperity in the New Year. Does America seem alien to you? Like we have departed into another realm, far from how our Founding Fathers envisioned America would be? It may seem this way but God will always be with us and watching over us, especially in our times of need and in the tumultuous times we are living in today. God will guide us as we go through the peaks and valleys of life this year. As we all vie for our particular presidential candidates whom we support we must remember what our end goal is - to make Barack Obama a one term president. After the primaries end and our GOP nominee is chosen we all need to rally around the person and give him/her the support that will be needed due to all that misinformation being spread by the MSM. Our country is "lost in space" and this year we must bring our country back from the brink of economic disaster, fight against the tyranny that Obama & Co. throws at us, stand up for liberty, and return a sense of morality to our society.

Rick Santorum Schools NBC's David Gregory on Obama's Appeasement

2012-01-02T10:41:00.000-08:00

Santorum truly crushes David Gregory in this exchange. David Gregory is totally clueless to reality if he thinks that any person who looks at Obama's policies objectively wouldn't think that Obama's policies have included appeasement of our enemies. Gregory and his ilk must be living in some type of alternate reality - its called insanity.

Rick Santorum Surges in Iowa

2012-01-01T14:14:00.000-08:00

I am pleased to announce that Rick Santorum has broken from the back of the pack, is surging ahead and now is virtually in second place (if you add the polls in the last two days) in the Des Moines Register Iowa Poll. His message is resonating with people. We need someone as President who understands that both the family and economics are connected. We need someone with a strong foreign policy background. We need a person who has a record of getting things done in Congress. Rick Santorum is all this rolled into one individual. He is just the man we need to be President of the United States. I just hope his momentum continues.

In the recent weeks, Santorum has picked up two endorsements - one from Sam Clovis who is a Sioux City talk-show host and the other is from the bestselling thriller author Brad Thor. This is the first time Clovis has endorsed a candidate in the caucuses.

From abc News:

He said he’s supporting Santorum because he is an “ideal candidate” who believes in “a constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense and unflagging devotion to life and traditional marriage.” Thor said in a statement that Santorum is the “one presidential candidate who understands and can swiftly address the threats facing our nation.”

“Rick knows that the world would be forever changed by Iran getting a nuclear weapon, and he has sworn to keep this from happening. I am excited to add my endorsement to the growing list of prominent supporters who understand that Rick Santorum is the right man, at the right time to lead our nation,” Thor said.

Santorum has also received the backing recently of the state’s secretary of state, Matt Schultz, and several high-profile Iowa pastors.

More great news for Santorum - Iowa's evangelicals moving to Santorum.

The Wombat-socho at The Other McCain has listed some great links on the Santorum, Ron Paul, Iowa, and other great stuff.

Mark Steyn Calls Ron Paul's Worldview 'Sheer stupid, half-witted parochialism'

2011-12-26T14:12:00.000-08:00

During Mark Steyn's regular appearance on Hugh Hewitt's radio show he explained why the "truther-ism" aspects of Paul's and his supporters beliefs wouldn't hold up.

From The Daily Caller:

“This by the way is not an irrelevant thing because it gets to the heart of the most disfiguring aspect of Ron Paul’s campaign — leaving aside his unpleasantness to Michele Bachmann the other night and all the rest of it — which is this stunted parochialism.” Steyn said. “Let’s say for a moment 9/11 was an inside job. Does that also mean the Bali night club bombing was an inside job? That the Madrid train bombing was an inside job? That the Beslan school shooting was an inside job? That the London tube bombings were an inside job? In that case, that’s one hell of a sum to be hiding somewhere within the darkest recesses of Dick Cheney’s specific line items.”

And that, says Steyn, along with his isolationist view on foreign policy, is where Paul “meets the left.”

“So we’re getting here into what is the problem with Ron Paul, which is the sheer stupid half-witted parochialism of his view of what’s going on out on the planet,” he said. “And that’s why this is — this is a kind of utopian isolationism that fantasists on the right have embraced and at its darkest side, it meets the left coming around the other way in 9/11 truther conspiracy theories.”

Mark Steyn is spot on.

I have found further confirmation and explanation via Proof at Say Anything Blog that Ron Paul is much more of an isolationist than I had previously thought. In Proof's post Ron Paul On Foreign Policy: "Most Assuredly An Isolationist", Eric Dondero, a former senior aide for Ron Paul, reveals Ron Paul's radically rigid isolationist foreign policy views.

From Eric Dondero:

It’s his foreign policy that’s the problem; not so much some stupid and whacky things on race and gays he may have said or written in the past.

Ron Paul is most assuredly an isolationist. He denies this charge vociferously.

But I can tell you straight out, I had countless arguments/discussions with him over his personal views. For example, he strenuously does not believe the United States had any business getting involved in fighting Hitler in WWII. He expressed to me countless times, that “saving the Jews,” was absolutely none of our business. When pressed, he often times brings up conspiracy theories like FDR knew about the attacks of Pearl Harbor weeks before hand, or that WWII was just “blowback,” for Woodrow Wilson’s foreign policy errors, and such.
I would challenge him, like for example, what about the instances of German U-boats attacking U.S. ships, or even landing on the coast of North Carolina or Long Island, NY. He’d finally concede that that and only that was reason enough to counter-attack against the Nazis, not any humanitarian causes like preventing the Holocaust.
There is much more information I could give you on the sheer lunacy of his foreign policy views. Let me just concentrate on one in specific. And I will state this with absolute certainty:
Ron Paul was opposed to the War in Afghanistan, and to any military reaction to the attacks of 9/11. He did not want to vote for the resolution. He immediately stated to us staffers, me in particular, that Bush/Cheney were going to use the attacks as a precursor for “invading” Iraq. He engaged in conspiracy theories including perhaps the attacks were coordinated with the CIA, and that the Bush administration might have known about the attacks ahead of time. He expressed no sympathies whatsoever for those who died on 9/11, and pretty much forbade us staffers from engaging in any sort of memorial expressions, or openly asserting pro-military statements in support of the Bush administration.
On the eve of the vote, Ron Paul was still telling us staffers that he was planning to vote “No,” on the resolution, and to be prepared for a seriously negative reaction in the District. Jackie Gloor and I, along with quiet nods of agreement from the other staffers in the District, declared our intentions to Tom Lizardo, our Chief of Staff, and to each other, that if Ron voted No, we would immediately resign.
Ron was “under the spell” of left-anarchist and Lew Rockwell associate Joe Becker at the time, who was our legislative director. Norm Singleton, another Lew Rockwell fanatic agreed with Joe. All other staffers were against Ron, Joe and Norm on this, including Lizardo. At the very last minute Ron switched his stance and voted “Yay” (sic)…

I think this reveals a hard-core isolationism which is disturbing. How could Paul not see the legitimacy of the U.S. having entered WWII in order to stop Hitler from murdering countless Jews as well as other innocents? This is where Paul's rugged individualism -every man for himself - conflicts with justice and promoting the common good. We must protect those most vulnerable in our society. I guess this is another instance of his belief that states or a state has the right to do wrong, even if it is morally abhorrent. That is an unjustifiably morally unacceptable position. It would have been morally unacceptable for nations to allow the extermination of the Jews to continue. Paul's foreign policy views are too dangerous not only for me but for all Americans, America, and for him to be commander-in-chief. I cannot wrap my head around how any sane individual could hold these types of foreign policy beliefs.

Islamist Bombings Across Nigeria Hit Catholic Church On Christmas Day

2011-12-25T16:03:00.000-08:00

On what is supposed to be the most holy, joyous and peaceful days of the year a series of bombings has rocked across Nigeria. St. Theresa Catholic Church was hit in one of the blasts. A spokesman from the Islamist sect Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for the bombings. Between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day there were five bombings across Nigeria. According to The Telegraph Boko Haram is responsible for 491 killings across Nigeria just this past year. When are world leaders going to denounce this Islamist group along with other violent Islamist sects around the world? How much killing has to happen in order for the world to wake up and respond justly? We need to stand up for the defenseless in these countries where Islamofascists have spread intolerance and violence, and targeted Christians, Jews, and anyone who refuses to submit to Islam, specifically Sharia Law. The Boko Haram haven't been declared a terrorist organization? What?!?

The Telegraph reports:

"We have in these three vehicles (ambulances) 15 corpses," a rescue source told the AFP news agency at the scene on condition of anonymity. He said the toll was likely to be higher since he believed other rescuers were also pulling out bodies. People were inside the church at the time of the blast, but Mr Shuaib could not say how many. Nigeria's emergency agency said it did not have enough ambulances available to evacuate the dead and the wounded. A second explosion was subsequently heard in the central Nigerian town of Jos.

White House Condemns Nigeria Bombing: MyFoxNY.com

The White House has condemned the bombings in Nigeria. Hopefully more leaders will follow suit. Prayers for peace...

Smitty at The Other McCain has a good take on the plight of Christians in the Middle East and in Africa. He has also channeled Edmund Burke in his Edasurc post. It is quite apropos IMO.

Keeping Christmas. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Henry Van Dyke

There is a better thing than the observance of Christmas day,
and that is, keeping Christmas.

Are you willing…
to forget what you have done for other people,
and to remember what other people have done for you;

to ignore what the world owes you,
and to think what you owe the world;

     to put your rights in the background,
     and your duties in the middle distance,
     and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the foreground;

to see that men and women are just as real as you are,
and try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy;

     to own up to the fact that probably the only good reason
     for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life,
     but what you are going to give to life;

     to close your book of complaints against the management of the universe,
     and look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds
     of happiness—

Are you willing to do these things even for a day?
Then you can keep Christmas.

Are you willing to stoop down and consider
the needs and desires of little children;

to remember the weakness and loneliness of people growing old;

to stop asking how much your friends love you,
and ask yourself whether you love them enough;

to bear in mind the things that other people have to bear in their hearts;

to try to understand what those who live in the same home with you
really want, without waiting for them to tell you;

to trim your lamp so that it will give more light and less smoke,
and to carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you;

to make a grave for your ugly thoughts, and a garden for your kindly feelings
with the gate open—

Are you willing to do these things, even for a day?
Then you can keep Christmas.

Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world—
     stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death—
     and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago
     is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love?

Then you can keep Christmas.

And if you can keep it for a day, why not always? But you can never keep it alone.

Here are some Christmas tunes:

Wishing everyone the joy and peace of Jesus now and all year through.

This is SICK! - Food and Vaccines Contain Aborted Cells?

2011-12-20T22:40:00.000-08:00

~Together Post With Guest Blogger Kevin~

Enjoyed a Pepsi lately? How about some Tropicana orange juice? Or Gatorade? Nestle creamer in your coffee? Dentyne or Trident to freshen your breath, or Certs? No doubt you believed these to be innocent products and perfectly legitimate, morally irreproachable purchases. You will feel differently in a moment when you read what I am about to reveal to you. Many of these products have been flavor tested using fetal tissue, specifically taste receptor cells. Yes, you heard that right. There are companies using human cells from our innocent unborn babies which have been murdered at the hands of abortionists. This is SICK, folks. Our society has become so morally bankrupt it is so horrifying. As I write this I just got up from watching "The Debt" starring Helen Mirren. The Nazi doctor in that movie is based on Joseph Mengele, the Butcher of Birkenau. This hideous use of the body parts of murdered unborn infants reminds me of the sort of monstrous experimentation that Mengele performed. But this is not a movie. This is a disturbing reality, and it continues to unfold right before our eyes whenever we see someone drinking a Sierra Mist at a diner or taking a sip from a bottle of Aquafina as they stroll past us, pathetically oblivious to the crime in which they have become unwittingly complicit. Americans have sunk to a whole new low. How much lower can we sink?

Some of the companies and products include: Lipton, Frito-Lay, Aunt Jemima, Rice-A-Roni, Kraft, and Cadbury. Some companies even use fetal cells as a product ingredient in vaccines, skin creams, and other items. I will be boycotting these companies products. We need to send them a loud and clear message that this methodology for testing products taste is unacceptable. They are experimenting with unborn babies flesh. What a bunch of amoral psychopaths to think doing this is an acceptable practice.

Many claim that people reporting on this are spreading rumors but even PepsiCo's shareholders have "filed a resolution with the government office, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to demand they stop using fetal cell derived products because it was unnecessary and hurting business."

For a list of products to avoid like the plague you can look here and here.

My Thoughts on Federalist Paper Number 6: The Tenth Amendment and Dissension Among the States

2011-12-19T17:15:00.000-08:00

After reading Federalist Paper No. 6 which was written by Alexander Hamilton I noticed that he was concerned with disunity among the states. After thinking, doesn't his concern for disunity among the states present a case against the tenth amendment? I realize some may think that different states can be laboratories for experiment with various policies such as health care or education but Franklin's concern for dissension among the states gives me pause when I think of the tenth amendment. Shouldn't the states be uniform in their policies so as to not cause confusion either morally, politically or financially? But, isn't dissension and disagreement among the states what gave the federal government more power? Or was it due to man's lust for power, ambition, or vindictiveness? Maybe their wouldn't be dissension or discord among the states morally if they held different policies? The federal mandates we have today are far reaching and uniform among the states so this would be a case made for the tenth amendment. We do need to take power away from the centralized government - federal government - and return it to the states. I am glad that some states have made progress in instituting pro-life laws. That is another case in favor of the tenth amendment. There needs to be a healthy balance between which programs are relegated to the states and which are relegated to the federal government. It is extremely unbalanced now, where the federal government has been granted too much power.

Do Palestinians Really See and Treat Jerusalem as Holy?

Palestinians claim that Jerusalem is a "Muslim holy site" but dishonor it with irreverence and disrespectful actions. Jerusalem is considered a holy site by both Jews and Christians, who treat it with reverence.

Will SOPA End The Internet As We Know It? Does The Manager's Amendment Protect Citizens Free Speech?

2011-12-18T07:31:00.000-08:00

If SOPA is passed will there be extensive, crippling internet censorship? According to Opie's son SOPA will cause massive internet censorship. Last night I learned of the Manager's Amendment which was added to the bill. Does this amendment address the concerns that citizens have about this anti-piracy legislation indiscriminately targeting American citizens First Amendment rights on the internet? The ACLJ seems to think that the Manager's Amendment to SOPA addresses this issue. Our congress critters are way too willing to give up citizens liberties in the name of "protection" or "safety". David Gorodyansky of Forbes says that SOPA is the "equivalent of the Great Firewall of China here at home."

Here is a video on the internet censorship bill, SOPA.
