Planned Parenthood protecting child rapist ..AGAIN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

While about yet another cover-up of "Child Molestation", I sit here and sadly remind myself that Obama has pleged to let young girls such as this get an abortion without parental consent. In other words he will give Child Molestors a free pass to molest our children and if the children don't tell even if they end up gettting pregnant than no one will ever know, no one accept, a counselor that doesn't care, a nurse just doing "her job" and a doctor that daily breaks his hypocratic oath.

Yes Obama has pledged to pass the Freedom of Choice Act that will allow the above to happen and WILL happen on a daily basis. No matter how much we want to be be there for our children through the good and bad and all the mistakes, the goverment is about to make it legal for them to have a surgical procedure with life altering effects without our permission.

From OneNewsNow.com

The incident happened at a Planned Parenthood clinic in the nation's capitol. Information on the incident comes from American Life League's Katy Walker.

"Counselors in Washington, DC, encountered a 13-year-old girl going into a Planned Parenthood in the downtown DC area [who] was accompanied by her mother and her aunt," Walker explains. According to the pro-life activist, following the abortion the aunt shared some information with sidewalk counselors outside the clinic. "[S]he informs them that this little girl has been raped by the mother's boyfriend, and the mother wants to keep the boyfriend," says Walker.
Police were called, but the frightened girl would not provide information.

Walker contends similar cases are commonplace. "[T]his kind of stuff happens every day in Planned Parenthoods across the country -- every day," she argues. "They're covering for statutory rapists."

All states have laws requiring reporting of child abuse to authorities, and abortion facilities for the most part are not complying. That was the conclusion of an extensive investigation several years ago by Life Dynamics, Inc., a Texas-based pro-life group.

Obama's New School Chief Supported Creating Gay High School in Chicago

You have to ask yourself, wouldn't a "Gay High School" be a step backwards for us? It took us years to get our Disabled students back in the main stream and they are doing quite well in the Public School System in their specialized classes. So now Obama's new Secretary of Education is noted for his supported of a "Gay High School" and is looking forward to some more "change". I hope that I am not the only one that finds this just a little scary.

Warner Todd Huston@ NewsBusters.org writes

So, how often do you think that the Old Media will mention that Barack Obama's choice for Secretary of Education, Chicago schools chief Arne Duncan, supported to be opened in Chicago a gay, lesbian and transgender high school? Any takers?

I have looked over many of the stories on Obama's pick for Sec of Ed, but seen mention of his support of the gay high school only a few times. Only three stories mentioned it out of the first 20 I checked. Even the Wall Street Journal didn't mention it in their announcement of the Obama pick.

Education Week reported that Duncan also has ties to Chicago Annenberg Challenge organization employing terrorist William Ayers

So, there is another unsavory aspect of Duncan's connections. Will the media report it?

Read the Article in whole from Newsbusters.org HERE

Molly lynch at the Columbia Chronicle writes:

"While Duncan’s concern for gay students is commendable, segregating these individuals from the rest of their student body is only sending one message: Don’t bother to take the time to demand decent behavior from other students." "True, some teens who are open about their sexual identity at a young age often pay violent consequences. But one thing is certain-hate breeds hate, and singling out LGBTQ students would only increase the open hatred toward them. While there’s no doubt that something has to be done to put an end to violence and bullying of gay and lesbian teens, hiding these students away in their own schools is not the answer." "Just as schools strive to set high standards for academic achievement, the same should be done when it comes to setting the bar for model behavior. For students who have prejudices against gay and lesbian individuals, how is it possible for these students to ever learn from their peers if they are placed in a separate environment? It’s common knowledge that bullying has a negative impact on learning. Removing gay students from a potentially hostile environment may provide safety, but it is ignoring a larger issue. If the goal of CPS is to create a culture of tolerance, that starts by turning the focus to kids who need the real attention-those who bully."

Lame Stream Media still "Stuck on Stupid"

The Lame Stream Media is at it again, Back in November I wrote about how it took a Retired NY Cop to do what ZERO of the MSM would do, dig up the truth. But Ironically it only took them a few days to "prove Obama innocent" of any wrong doing in the Blagojevich Scandal.
Ken Shepherd @NewsBusters.Org reports

With apologies to the creator of the famous evangelical Christian bumper
sticker, "Obama said it. The media believe it. And that settles it."

Get a load of the first two grafs from AP's December 15 article, "Obama:
Probe shows no contact in Ilinois gov scandal.":

President-elect Barack Obama said Monday a review by his own lawyer
shows he had no direct contact with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about t
he appointment of a Senate replacement, and transition aides did
nothing inappropriate.

Obama pledged to make the review public, but said he decided to hold off because prosecutors asked for a delay and "I don't want to interfere with an ongoing investigation." U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald released a statement confirming the request.

By contrast, back in October when Gov. Sarah Palin (R) released her own report denying impropriety in her firing of Alaska's public safety commissioner, the AP noted that "Palin Pre-Empts State Report, Clears Self in Probe." As e-mail tipster Matt Healy observed in his e-mail:

No matter how hard the Lame Stream Media tries to ignore Sarah Palin, they cannot ignore the facts. She was still the top search at Google for 2008 and I believe that she will continue to stay in the top ten for quite a while.

Score one for Pro-Life - Catholic University of San Francisco Drops Abortion Coverage From Health Plan

From Life News.com

San Francisco, CA (LifeNews.com) -- After strong protest from pro-life Catholics, the University of San Francisco (USF) has dropped abortion coverage from a new student health care plan. A top USF official says the Jesuit college supports the pro-life teachings of the Catholic Church and made a mistake in including abortion in the package.

Gary McDonald, the director of Communications and Public Affairs, released a statement on Friday that LifeNews.com obtained.

"A new health plan for students at the University of San Francisco included a provision for the voluntary termination of pregnancy," he said. "It was not the University's intention to offer this coverage."

"We regret this mistake, and we take full responsibility for not adequately reviewing the contract. We are grateful to those who brought this issue to our attention," he added.

McDonald also promised that, "USF supports the Catholic Church's views on the sanctity of life, at all stages, and we will remove this provision from our student health plan."

The decision to include abortion caused a controversy not only because of the school's Catholic affiliation but because full-time undergraduate students at USF are automatically enrolled in the university's plan unless they request a waiver and prove that they have other, comparable insurance.

Obama picks another Pro-Abortionist to his Administration

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)

Barack Obama has named yet another abortion advocate to a key administration post that will oversee policy related to pro-life issues. Obama has chosen pro-abortion former Clinton administration official Jeanne Lambrew to become the deputy director of the White House Office of Health Reform.

Lambrew is a University of Texas professor and, from 1997 to 2001, she worked on health policy at the White House under pro-abortion President Bill Clinton.

She was the associate director for health at the Office of Management and Budget and the senior health analyst at the National Economic Council.

There she very likely worked with Clinton administration officials on the 11th-hour proposal to allow the sale and use of the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug that has killed more than a dozen women worldwide and injured thousands in the United States.

She also worked at the Department of Health and Human Services during the 1993-1994 health reform efforts that were abandoned in part because they promoted abortion coverage at taxpayer expense.

Pro-life advocates know Obama has chosen another abortion activist for a key position when Planned Parenthood issues a press release saying it is "excited" about the pick.

Be very worried about Obama's Abortion "Change".

Insidecatholic.com

The groups that have spent millions supporting pro-abortion members of Congress aren't in the mood to wait.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Inside Catholic) - Go to Change.gov, the Web site of President-elect Barack Obama, and you'll find a document titled "Advancing Reproductive Rights and Health in a New Administration." Signed by dozens of pro-abortion groups, including Catholics for Choice, this 55-page document provides an overview of the marching orders for the Obama administration in removing all present restrictions on abortions while dramatically increasing abortion funding.

Anyone who has bought into the myth that Obama is "moderating" his positions should notice that the first section is titled "Steps for the First Hundred Days." The groups that have spent millions supporting pro-abortion members of Congress, including Obama and Vice-President elect Joe Biden, aren't in the mood to wait.

Many of the recommendations are about who gets government support. The pro-abortion groups not only want more money -- nearly $3 billion -- but they also want the government to stop funding groups who do not share their ideology.

For example, notice the following four recommendations out of the many contained in the document:

• Provide $1 Billion for International Family Planning Programs

• Restore Funding to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

• Increase Funding for Title X Family Planning Program to $700 million

• De-fund Abstinence-Only Programs

“Right to life” vs. “License to kill”: A Libertarian Case for the Pro-Life Position

Those who perpetuate the "Pro Choice" argument and honestly believe it cannot in their heart of hearts consider a Fetus a human being. I say this because what kind of monster believes that murder is okay.

The "Pro Choice" supporters don't believe that a Fetus is a Human Being because it cannot live on its own outside of the Mother's body. But I have to ask this....If a Fetus is totally dependent on the mother, and therefore has no right at all. In other words it does not count! But if a pregnant mother is a victim of any violence or crime, which results in the death of both the mother and the fetus, the courts count the "value" of the fetus, and if the perpetrator is found guilty, he/she could be sentenced to, and meted out, "double" the punishment because of the two dead victims. So, why should the treatment and regard for the value of the fetus be different in the case of abortion?

In Beaglescouts article he states that Geneticists will tell that they believe life begins when "...the ovum is fertilized by the sperm. At that point the fertilized egg has the same genetic structure it will have for its entire life, and much of the course of its future life is set, unless interrupted by accident or violent attack."

I do realize the situation is not that simple and straightforward. But guided by our Christian sensibilities and sensitivities, by our education, and by our culture where the family is the basic structure of our foundation in society,
I am puzzled why there is even a debate on the matter at all.

By LJ "Beaglescout" Miller @RedState.com

The abortion issue involves vast deeps of confusion about the nature of rights, freedom and the lack thereof, choice, license, responsibilities, and obligations. In this essay I attempt to cut away all the confusion to get to the heart of things from a classical liberal approach.

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Hppiness. "

Until it gets to the First Amendment, the Constitution has nothing to say on the matter of Human Rights. This doesn’t mean they didn’t exist until then. Americans had Rights before the Bill of Rights passed. Our Rights descended from English common, statute, and chancery law, and before that from the ancient traditions of free Christian Englishmen (the 1689 Bill of Rights not least among these enumerations of rights). But those are peripheral sources of Rights for Americans. Most central to the American concept of Rights is The Declaration of Independence.The Declaration of Independence, in which our Rights as Americans and humans were so eloquently advanced, stated that all humans are created equal and endowed by their Creator with unalienable (intrinsic, non-severable) Rights. It does not state that humans are born equal, but created so. For this reason it matters when human life is created. For the answer we turn to science.

The right to life is the most basic, foundational right without which other rights mean nothing. So how is it that one person’s so-called rights can allow her to take away the foundational rights of another? The answer is they can’t. There are no such rights. This would be license. But license is not endowed upon humans by their Creator. It is claimed by those who wish to oppress others while claiming victim hood for themselves. By misusing the language of rights the proponents of a so-called right to abortion have invented a license to kill for the mother while denying the child any rights at all. This is hardly an example of human beings created equal. It is a much better example of human beings created different and at war.

Sarah Palin tops Google’s 2008 search charts

Hard to believe that this tumultous year is about to digress and progress int what will surely be another year of firsts. 2008 was surely full of unforseen events, memorable moments and emerging trends that captivated us all. The year was full of record breaking search queries in the billions and the people that typed into the Google search box gives us a glimpse into the zeitgeist — the spirit of the times. A list has been compiled with some of the highlights of Google searches from around the world, the internet and its technology will never cease to amaze me.

Ironically, Even Brittany Spears did not appear on the Google "fastest-rising" list which compares popularity of online searches in 2008 with their frequency the previous year.

From sify.com

London: She might not have won the election, but Sarah Palin – the defeated US vice-presidential candidate – has topped Google's 2008 chart of the most web searches.

While the Alaskan Governor topped the Google’s image search list, Beijing Olympics 2008 came in at number 2 in the Google list of “fastest rising searches” followed by "Facebook login" and "Tuenti," a Spanish social networking website.

Late Hollywood actor Heath Ledger came in at number 4 and US President-elect Barack Obama, who created history with his win, rounded of the top 5, reports The Telegraph.

Searches for "Nasza Klasa," a Polish social networking website, and "Wer Kennt Wen," a German one, were next followed by "Euro 2008" and the "Jonas Brothers."

In addition to providing a global view of what people were looking for on the Internet this year, Google also released search data for more than 30 countries.

Rules for Office Staff: Bank Behaviors 1854 from Reasoned Audacity

Thank you Jack for this great article, you have wonder, what happened?....Oh silly me the ACLU happened!! Anyone of these rules would now days be considered inhumane, especially #7 - No Talking. I personally would enjoy this, because then I wouldn't have to listen to everybody's woes and complaints and I especially wouldn't have listen to their Liberal Rhetotic. Thanks again Jack, Hat Tip!!

from Reasoned Audacity by Jack Yoest

Bank Managers of the 1800's would not recognize today's Banking-Finance ethics let alone the bailouts. "Bankers' Hours" would not come until over a hundred years later. Huddleston & Bradford was a bank that transferred large sums of money -- in safes on trains in London.

Edgar Trent was the bank owner and published "Rules for Office Staff" in 1854.

1. Godliness, cleanliness and punctuality are the necessities of a good business.

2. The firm has reduced the working day to the hours from 8:30 to 7p.m.

3. Daily prayers will be held each morning in the main office.
The clerical staff will be present.

4. Clothing will be of a sober nature.

5. A stove is provided for the benefit of the clerical staff. It is recommended that each member of the clerical staff bring 4 lbs. of coal each day during cold weather.

6. No member of the clerical staff may leave the room with out the permission from Mr. Roberts. The calls of nature are permitted and clerical staff may use the garden beyond the second gate. This area must be kept clean and in good order.

7. No talking is allowed during business hours.

8. The craving of tobacco, wine or spirits is a human
weakness, and as such is forbidden to the clerical staff.

9. Members of the clerical staff will provide their own pens.

10. The managers of the firm will expect a great rise in the output of work to compensate for these near Utopian conditions.

There is no mention of tattoos or body piercings.

The "near Utopian conditions" are actually enjoyed today. All staff these days are warm, well-fed, granted tobacco consuming smoke breaks and counter-consuming healthcare. +`Even without unions.

We are so lucky today.

Obama's Hell on Earth

from New York Post

IF President-elect Barack Obama goes through with his campaign pledge to sign into law the Freedom of Choice Act, "holy hell" is going to break loose. FOCA may be the most radical social legislation in decades. It seeks to strip every last restraint from abortion - outlawing states' requirements for waiting periods, informed consent or parental consent; preventing health and safety regulation of abortion clinics and abortionists - and even ending restrictions on partial-birth abortion.

With one stroke of the president's pen, it would nullify every one of the 330 or so federal, state and local abortion laws on the books, most of them supported by a majority of Americans. And that's just the start. The law would also compel taxpayers to fund abortions and provide abortions in military hospitals. Most provocatively of all, it would force religious hospital and health-care institutions to perform abortions in violation of their convictions.

The incoming president is all for this draconian bill. In the Senate, no one held more extreme views on abortion. Abortion-rights groups have given him a 100 percent rating for every year he has held public office.

When he began his White House run, back on July 7, 2007, he told a cheering Planned Parenthood conference, "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing I'd do . . . On this issue I will not yield."

The Catholic Church, for one, won't stand for it. The ranking American prelate to the Holy See, James Cardinal Stafford, denounced Obama's vision as "aggressive, disruptive and apocalyptic."

Hate is hate, in India or America

Pat Boone from WorldNetDaily

Pretty rotten thing that happened in Mumbai, huh?

Grand old hotel, in an increasingly progressive and prosperous India: Suddenly, hundreds of innocent, unsuspecting people are hostages, some of them being systematically murdered. Bombs are exploding, people are screaming, military are descending into the chaos, TV crews are coming from everywhere to broadcast the carnage worldwide.

Thank God, it couldn't happen here. Could it? Look around.
Watch your evening news. Read your newspaper.

Are you unaware of the raging demonstrations in our streets, in front of our churches and synagogues, even spilling into these places of worship, and many of these riots turning defamatory and violent? Have you not seen the angry distorted faces of the rioters, seen their derogatory and threatening placards and signs, heard their vows to overturn the democratically expressed views of voters, no matter what it costs, no matter what was expressed at the polls? Twice?

I refer to California's Proposition 8. You haven't heard about the well-oiled campaign to find out the names of every voter and business that contributed as much as $1,000, or even much less, in support of Prop 8? You haven't heard about the announced plans to boycott, demonstrate, intimidate and threaten each one – because they dared to vote to retain marriage as between one man and one woman? You haven't seen, on the evening news, prominent entertainers and even California Gov. Schwarzenegger, urging the demonstrators on, telling them they should "never give up" until they get their way?

No Child Molestor left behind

I really enjoy Sean Hannity, but I don't like myself when I am watching him. You see, a side of me that I don't like at all worms its way out when Alan Colmes opens his mouth, actually, it comes out when I see his face.

Yes, my Blood pressure rises, I squint my forehead, I do that squinty eye, snort through the nose thing and then I take a deep breath and remind myself he's just another "wind up toy" aka "sock puppet". Sock meaning everyone that watches the show wants to "sock" him.

Recently he took himself to a new level of lower than ever before. I'm talking about lower than the sludge that sits in the bottom of the sewer low. Kaslin at FreeRepublic.com really put it best;

Alan Colmes has changed a lot since the election of Barack Obama. To be specific, he’s gotten a lot dumber – so much so that I’m thinking about boycotting the “Hannity and the Other Guy” show that features him at 9 p.m. EST on Fox.

Does anyone know if Keith Olberman has a show in that time slot?

Colmes, whom I’ve always admired and respected (really), gave a disappointing interview to a couple of young women who work for an organization I admire called Students for Life America, or SFLA. By calling them a “radical anti-choice organization,” Colmes was arrogant and disrespectful to the young ladies, one of whom is only a teenager.

Colmes, like other so-called liberals, doesn’t understand that the pro-life position is not “anti-choice.” By opposing one choice (the choice to abort) pro-lifers are supporting the over one-million choices the fetus is likely to make if it can escape the scalpel and suction tube – a symbol as sacred to the feminist as the hammer and sickle is to the communist.

Margaret Sanger, Barack Obama& Planned Parenthood

Everytime I read about how Barack Obama supported legislation to let babies born alive die, I do the typical response, I say to myself "theirs no way", than I remember that I did the research and yes it did happen, then I cry and wonder how anyone could do that, let alone a parent, and then I get mad, how dare he take a tiny miracle in his own hands and take away its right to live after the person that gave it life wished it dead, but the baby fought and lived.

We all know the story of Jill Stanek and how she rocked the dying aborted baby in her arms as it died after they had refused to give it life saving measures. Do we really believe that with the hundreds of thousands of Abortions performed every year, that that was the only time these murders of an innocent child ever happened? If we do than we need to open our eyes. Believing that such an instance was one of a kind is like believing that a serial killer only killed once. The abortionist that continue to let this happen are legal "serial killers"

Jack Yoest @ReasonedAudacity.com writes

"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
-Margaret Sanger -Founder Planned Parenthood. Barack Obama voted against his state's Born Alive Infant Protection Act. His vote would allow babies born alive -- from a botched abortion -- to die by withholding treatment.

In 2003, Edwin Black wrote a national bestseller War against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign To Create A Master Race. War on the Weak, Author Edwin Black does not oppose abortion. But he is nevertheless horrified by the disgust that elite Americans feel for the weak, "the least among us." Elitists like Obama.
Edwin Black then guides us to Margaret Sanger's solution, Sanger was willing to employ striking language to argue against the inherent misery and defect of large families. In her book, Woman and the New Race, she bluntly declared, The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to "kill it."

Margaret Sanger said this:
"The emergency problem of segregation and sterilization must be faced immediately. Every feeble-minded girl or woman of the hereditary type, especially of the moron class, should be segregated during the reproductive period. "

It's Time to Speak Out Against The 'Mormon Boycott'

William Jacobson @AmericanThinker.com

The use of boycotts in support of gay marriage, including by some law professors, preceded the passage of Prop. 8. These boycotts, which aim at suppressing political speech, are distinct from the boycotts of the black civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. The civil rights boycotts sought not to suppress speech, but to provide access to goods and services by targeting those people withholding the goods and services.

Regardless of whether one supports the use of boycotts in the Prop. 8 context, the targeting of Mormons is gross hypocrisy considering that other groups, such as Blacks and Latinos, likely were the decisive electoral factor. A persuasive argument can be made that Mormons have been singled out because they are a relatively small group with
political power mostly in one state. The irony of singling out a religious group which has itself been the victim of discrimination appears lost on anti-Prop. 8 boycott groups.

While the web is filled with hate speech by fringe elements directed at many groups, the anti-Mormon efforts are openly embraced and promoted by a wide range of anti-Prop. 8 groups. Anti-Mormon hate speech no longer is on the fringe, it is at the heart of the post-election anti-Prop. 8 campaign. The examples are too numerous to list completely. This sampling reflects the breadth and increasing scope of post-election anti-Mormon activities:

• The creation of a boycott list of Mormon-owned hotels. The creator of the list states as follows: "I personally won't do business with any Marriott hotels, as they are owned by Mormons. I'm done with this shit. They just use the money against us."
  
• Additional calls for a boycott of all Mormons: "While much ado is being made about the overwhelming support of prop 8 by black voters in California, there is little ado being made about getting even with the Mormons...."
  
• A boycott of the entire state of Utah because of the high percentage of Mormons, and other efforts targeting Mormons as "hate's banker, and we need to make sure that their moral bankruptcy becomes a fiscal one as
  well."
  
• Protests at Mormon churches around the country, including New York City, Salt Lake City, and Los Angeles.
  
• Postings on Daily Kos and elsewhere calling for boycott of Mormon owned businesses: "Businesses owned by Mormons, who tithe to the Church, should also be boycotted. Large amounts of Church income comes from tithings. Vote with your wallets! Every dollar less that you give to a tithed Mormon is a dollar less that can be tithed and spent on anti-gay activity."
  
• Postings on YouTube of blatantly anti-Mormon videos calling on people to "Boycott the Utah Hate State and the Mormons."
  
• The creation of high profile websites devoted to portraying Mormons as having betrayed the U.S. by taking control of the Boy Scouts and other devices: "The Mormon people have been able to flourish because of this country's generous spirit. But now, history has reversed, and it is the Mormons who have become the oppressor."
  
• The production of an anti-Mormon musical by the creators of South Park, which is expected to start rehearsals soon.
  
• Calls not to tip Mormon waiters: "Now do not tip, hire, or do any business with a Mormon. 10% of their income goes to the church that worked tirelessly to take the civil rights away from people. They are a Nazi organization who only what their point of view followed. I asked my waiter if he were a Mormon, when he said he was I did not tip him, telling him, I was sorry but I can not support bigotry."
  
• Suggestions that Mormon businesses that do not wish to be harassed should post signs in their windows against Prop. 8: "Any business, Mormon or otherwise, can take the simple step of posting a sign on the premises urging the repeal of Prop 8, or make a public statement against it."
  
• Calls to fire a Mormon employed by the American Jewish Congress because he supported Prop. 8.
  
• The forced resignation of the Mormon director of the Los Angeles Film Festival for support of Prop. 8.
  
• The investigation by the State of California of the Mormon Church's tax exempt status, even though religious organizations routinely support or oppose political causes without losing their exempt status.
  
• A hotel in New Mexico luring visitors away from Utah by using a web address that incorporates the words
  "mormon-boycott-utah."
  
• A call to boycott businesses, including Macy's and Nordstrom, which plan to open stores at a shopping mall owned by the Mormon church: "The Mormon Church came after our rights, and if we don't stop them, they will be back again and again."
  
• A call to boycott businesses which have Mormons in senior positions: "Universely [sic], we need to avoid putting any more money into the Church's coffers by boycotting all companies where a Mormon church member holds an officer's position or a large majority interest."
  
• Efforts to create and distribute lists of businesses "either owned by the Church, owned by Mormons, having a Mormon in a high executive position, or generally benefiting Mormons," including on
  Facebook and elsewhere.
  
• The boycott of Mormon business has been likened to a war: "There is a war cry being sounded in gay communities all across America - Boycott Mormon owned businesses. This is a war cry that should be
  heeded."

The singling out of Mormons, and the hateful nature of the boycott, is not coincidental. Prop. 8 is being used as an excuse to vent pent-up anger at the Mormon Church, and the traditional lifestyle of Mormons. With each passing day, it seems that the web is filled with more and more hate speech directed at Mormons. As others have noted,
the attacks on Mormons would not be tolerated if directed at other religious or ethnic groups.

A Different Christmas Poem

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn’t loud, and it wasn’t too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn’t quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

“What are you doing?” I asked without fear,
”Come in this moment, it’s freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!”
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire’s light,
Then he sighed and he said “Its really all right,
I’m out here by choice. I’m here every night.”
“It’s my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I’m proud to stand here like my fathers before me.

My Gramps died at ‘ Pearl on a day in December,” Then he sighed,
“That’s a Christmas ‘Gram always remembers.”
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ‘ Nam ‘,
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I’ve not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he’s sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue… an American flag.

I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.”
“So go back inside,” he said, “harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I’ll be all right.”
“But isn’t there something I can do, at the least,
”Give you money,” I asked, “or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you’ve done,
For being away from your wife and your son.”

Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
”Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we’re gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us.”

GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY

Showing the Troops How Much We Appreciate Them

Moment of Thanks is a special website where anybody can personally thank America's Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines for their service and sacrifice. Soldiers’ Angels has teamed up with Shezoom.com to support their goal of sending 100,000 support messages via the Moment of Thanks website.

To ensure the troops themselves see the encouraging messages, Soldiers' Angels has been given postcards about the site from SheZoom, which will be included in the care packages sent to deployed service members.

Sponsored by Kodak and led by SheZoom.com, Moment of Thanks offers several ways for people to share their heartfelt wishes with the troops, including uploading videos and photos, and sending written messages. It also includes messages of gratitude for the troops from stars of the entertainment, sports and politcal world.

It's so important for our troops to know they are loved and appreciated for their service, so please check out the Moment of Thanks website and leave your message of thanks for all our service members do for us. If you're a service member yourself, please visit and take at look at all the grateful Americans who value your service!

Evangilizing Atheists

Adam Dyck @Politic.com

While Canada is caught up in its own “consititutional crisis”, the Americans seem to be having some trouble with lawn signs.

A group of atheists placed an “anti-god” sign near the nativity scene on the grounds of the Washington State legislative grounds, and now Christian groups are in an uproar.

I am a Bible believing Christian. I believe in God. I think it’s ridiculous to evangelize atheism. However, I don’t think the sign should be taken down. If we as Christians want our own religious views validated by the state in way of a nativity scene, then why can’t those with opposing views?

That’s what we call freedom of religion. Or, better yet, keep these things to our own yards.

Holiday Cheer not just for Holidays

Funny thing happened in the Dollar store this morning. Numerous people smiled and said "Have a Happy Holiday". Now I know your asking, "Why was that so odd or funny?, after all it is the Holiday Season." Yes you would be right, it is the "Holiday Season", but my question is, why does everyone wait untill the "Holiday Season" to wish others well?

I understand this custom, but having been raised to always say something "Nice", I truly "don't" understand it. Notice how I said that I was in the "Dollar Store", you see I proably spend a more proportionate amout of money there than just about anywhere else. It really is amazing what you can buy at the Dollar Store these days, some weeks I practically do my grocery shopping there.

But anyway back on point....anywho......Why do we have to wait till now, the "Holiday Season" to be "Nice" to people and "wish them well". Why don't we do it all year round. The reason I used the Dollar Store analogy was because I would venture to say that a large majority of us that shop at such stores do so out of neccessity. We don't have extra money laying around, and we are content to shop at the "Dollar Stores" in our community and very seldom do I ever come across a "rude" person in one of these stores, so I have to ask myself why is that?

I mean after all have you been to Walmart lately, how often do you run into happy, grateful, well wishers there? Honestly, I don't know if I ever have. Case and point was recently proven, sadly in a New York Walmart recently where an employee was mowed down and killed by Black Friday shoppers. The employee was trying to keep a pregnant woman from getting crushed by the Mob. This is the perfect example of of how comercialization has replaced "Holiday Cheer". Now undoubtably these shoppers that scooped up their HD TV fo $700 and $20 Video games sincerely believe they are doing their part in "Holdiay Cheer" with the giving of these gifts that now technically, are accessories to a crime, seriously, after all the shoppers took part in the rampage that resulted in the killing of one man and the maming of many more are the perpatrators. Bet they won't be sharing that little tidbit of "Joy" with the recipient of the gift they "had to have".

In my experience those that are labeled as "unfortunate" are usually the "fortunate" ones. We are fortunate enough to realize that the best things in life are free. It cost us nothing to say "thank you" or "God bless you".
It costs us nothing to hold a door open for a fellow shopper or let some one else have that parking space. It costs us nothing to hug someone having a bad day, or even just a smile and nod to someone that has greeted us as we walk in the store. Acknowledgment is a wonderful thing, we all like to be acknowledged, whether its a nod, a handshake, a smile or even a wink, acknowledgement makes us feels good it makes us feel important, its like saying "thank you" without ever opening your mouth. Sometimes the best present of all is just being present.

After this Holiday Season is done and gone and tree is on the curb and the garbage receptacles are full of tattered wrapping paper and handcrafted bows don't feel empty, feel blessed, because I promise you, you can always find someone worse off than yourself, I promise you that. So tommmorrow when the dawn awakes your soul take a minute before you rise and use all your senses.

Take a moment and take it all in. . . . Listen, what do you hear, maybe you hear a baby crying because your a Mother, or maybe a Dog whining to go outside, or maybe just some squirrel chatter or bird chirping, but they are all beautiful sounds. Now smell, what do you smell, coffee brewing, bacon cooking, puppy accidents (my house, LOL), whatever it is its all good. Now use your eyes what do you see, a soulmate, a friend-some furry-some not, a roof over your head, a beautiful child with messy hair and a toothless grin, whatever you see, its beautiful, isn't it? Now using your hands what do you feel, the covers that you want to pull over your head, the cheek of someone next to you, the paws of a furry friend, your warming hands on a hot cup of coffee or cocoa, it all feels so good, doesn't it?

Everyday we all have so much to be grateful for, but everyday we take it for granted and find something to complain about. The holiday season brings out the best in most people, but why wait till the the holiday season to bring out the best in yourself. The old cliche' "Today is the first day of the rest of your life" is a wonderful saying but I like the saying "Live each day like it was your last" so much better. We all have no idea how much time we have left on this earth, so take today to make a difference in someones life, take every single day to make a difference.

When the dawn awakes your soul and the day is still brand new
Do you look up to the heavens and say a soft "Thank You"
Each day is such a blessing A gift that's in disguise
He lets us follow in his footsteps from the moment that we rise

As your walking down the street and it's a sad face that you see
can you take the time to smile, that alone can fill a need
A need to feel we're loved as he so loved us so,

Is made to pass on to another these seeds of kindness that we sew

These seeds will bloom more along the way like the seeds from wildflowers
They spread more everyday, spread them every hour
Take the time each morning to thank the lord above

for giving us this chance to spread his everlasting love

Then reach inside your heart a little more each day
and give what you've been given to those along your way
Spreading random acts of kindness without prejudice or cause
All comes so very easily when your wrapped within his love

Recently I received one of Joel Osteens daily words where he had written about how the Bible states that the prayer of the righteous person is powerful, but if we aren’t treating others with honor, kindness, and respect, then we aren’t allowing His righteousness to operate in us. When we don’t treat others the way we should, it closes the door to God’s power and hinders our prayers. All the more reason to not wait untill the holiday season to spread some "Joy and Cheer".

On a lighter note, if your shopping list is fatter than your wallet you can always do like Bernard Manning was quoted as saying; "I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included."

Love, Hugs and Blessings to all!!
