President Obama Campaign redesigns American Flag

 Obama Campaign Redesigns American Flag

President Obama’s re-election campaign has re-designed the American flag … and it’s already making waves.

A new campaign poster wipes out all 50 stars on the flag, replacing them with Obama’s logo. The campaign is putting the flag up for sale, hoping people will dole out $35 for their own copy.
Reaction has been streaming in, including that of Fox News Radio’s Todd Starnes, whose Tweets haven’t concealed his own feelings on the poster:

In a recent Fox News Radio article, Starnes discussed the story, as well as what his listeners have had to say in response:

The Obama campaign is now selling copies of an American flag painting that replaces the 50 stars in a blue field with the president’s campaign logo. Critics are calling the artwork creepy and un-American…

…Reaction on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook has been overwhelmingly negative.

“This is so offensive,” one reader wrote. “I don’t know why I’m shocked, but I am. This stoops to new lows.”
 
Another reader offered this assessment: “Once again, very shameful. This is a disgrace.

“And just what was wrong with the flag with the stars and stripes?” a Facebook reader wondered. “Why must Obama create his own flag?”

Trust, Newspapers, News and Media

 Low trust— Government and Media

News Clips from American Family Association (Christian media)

Recent surveys from two major polling agencies indicate that Americans have a growing distrust in basic institutions such as government and media.  

A slim majority (51%) now view the U.S. government as a threat to individual liberties rather than a protector of those rights, according to a Rasmussen poll released in June. Only 34% saw the government as a protector of rights, while 15% were undecided. (See story, "Beware the camel's nose.")  

Another Rasmussen poll released last fall revealed that 20% of likely U.S. voters thought the government was operating with the consent of the governed, while 63% believed it was not. 

That poll found that the majority of likely voters felt the federal government had "lost touch with the people it represents," according to Rasmussen.   

According to Gallup's most recent annual Confidence in Institutions survey, 21% of Americans have much confidence in television news. Only 25% have confidence in news reporting of newspapers. The confidence in television is down seven points from last year and has continued in a steady decline of viewers who believe what the mainstream news is saying.

Some things aren't as large as they seem

Perhaps all those homosexual characters on television are paying off for the gay community. 

Less than 2% of the U.S. population self-identifies as gay or lesbian, according to the most reliable estimates. But a recent Gallup poll found that Americans significantly overestimate that figure. 

Gallup found that more than a third of adults believe that more than 25% of Americans are homosexual, with another 17% saying they think the percentage of homosexuals is in the 20-25% range.

Study: Fear of hell lowers crime

 

There is a relationship between a society's religious beliefs regarding heaven and hell and how much crime exists, or so says a psychologist from University of Oregon.  

Professor Azim F. Shariff said that his research indicated that a strong cultural belief in a God who punishes sin results in lower crime rates, while stressing a forgiving God tends to increase crime.

"It seems like there is a case to be made for the causal direction that religious punishment does actually lower unethical behavior, whereas forgiveness does seem to license people," Shariff told a local ABC news affiliate.

The study examined attitudes and actions of people in 67 countries over a 26-year period.

Global what?

Climate change 'deniers' not so dumb after all

The current environmental paradigm assumes that those who don't believe in man-made climate change are less scientifically savvy, while those who do are scientifically smarter.

According to one study, however, those assumptions just aren't true. 

"Seeming public apathy over climate change is often attributed to a deficit in comprehension. The public knows too little science, it is claimed, to understand the evidence or avoid being misled," said a report published in May in the journal Nature Climate Change. The study added: "We conducted a study to test this account and found no support for it."

Instead, the researchers found just the opposite: Those with the highest degrees of scientific understanding were less concerned about climate change, while those who were the most concerned scored slightly lower on tests of scientific knowledge.

"As respondents' science literacy scores increased, their concern with climate change decreased," the paper said. 

Rather than scientific literacy, the researchers said it was ideology that was driving the cultural battle over man-made climate change. Those who believed in individual interests were less concerned about climate change and its causes, while those who believed in pushing for social equality were more concerned.

The study was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Islamist promises Israel's destruction …

Islam still promotes terrorism

A radical Muslim preacher predicted that the new president of Egypt would construct a new Muslim caliphate - a single Islamic dominion - over the Arab world with its capital in Jerusalem.

  

In a May speech at a soccer stadium in Cairo, Muslim cleric Safwat Higazi told thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters, "The capital of the caliphate - the capital of the United States of the Arabs - will be Jerusalem, God willing."

  

He then led the crowd in chanting, "Millions of martyrs march toward Jerusalem," according to the Jerusalem Post.

  

Higazi claimed this would be accomplished by then-candidate Mohamed Mursi, who eventually won the Egyptian presidency in a controversial election victory. Mursi agreed with Higazi's sentiments regarding Israel.  

"Yes, Jerusalem is our goal," Mursi told the crowd. "We shall pray in Jerusalem, or die as martyrs on its threshold." 

Mursi has also said that Egypt-s Coptic Christian population must "convert [to Islam], pay tribute or leave" the country. The statement was made privately to a journalist but was publicized by the Egyptian news website El Bashayer.   

… and then the Vatican

The Middle East Media Research Institute released a video and translation of an interview with a prominent Muslim professor in which he predicted the Islamic re-conquest of Andalusia (Spain) and the subjugation ofz the Vatican, home to the Catholic Church. 

"The conquest of Andalusia is an old dream, something Muslims proudly hope for and will continue to hope for in the future," Dr. Subhi Al-Yaziji said in a May 25 interview on Al-Aqsa TV. He added: "We place our hopes in Allah and trust that the day will come when our triumph will not be restricted to Palestine. Our hopes go beyond that - to raise the banner of the caliphate over the Vatican, the 'Rome' of today, in accordance with the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad: 'Constantinople shall be conquered, and then Rome.'"  

According to MEMRI, Al-Yaziji is dean of Koranic studies at Islamic University of Gaza and former department head at the Ministry of Religious Endowments for Hamas.

Obama Birth Certificate, Social Security Number, a Fraud?

You be the Judge: Is President Obama's Social Security Number a Fraud?

Fraud Investigation

Someone did some research on this from public sources and a little history. The documentation links are listed below. What do you think? If there is no fraud involved, why has there been such an ongoing Cover-Up?

A MUST READ for every US Citizen

Patriots.....THIS IS SIMPLY FIRST CLASS EASY TO READ, EASY TO

UNDERSTAND, DETECTIVE WORK....AND IT INCLUDES THE

LINKS TO DOCUMENTATION

HOW NO ONE GETS
A REASSIGNED SS NUMBER


An intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whose Social Security number (SSN) is being used by President Obama: Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in France in 1890, immigrated to the United States in 1924, and was assigned SSN 042-68-4425 (Obama's current SSN) on or about March 1977.
Ludwig lived most of his adult life in Connecticut . Because of that,
his SSN begins with the digits 042, which are among only a select few reserved for Connecticut residents.
Obama never lived or worked in that state! Therefore, there is no
reason on earth for his SSN to start with the digits 042. None
whatsoever! Now comes the best part! Ludwig spent the final months of his life Hawaii , where he died.
Conveniently, Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, worked part-time in the Probate Office in the Honolulu Hawaii Courthouse, and therefore had access to the SSNs of deceased individuals. The Social Security Administration was never informed of Ludwig's death, and because he never received Social Security benefits there were no benefits to stop and therefore, no questions were ever raised. The suspicion, of course, is that Dunham, knowing her grandson was not a U.S. Citizen, either because he was born in Kenya or became a citizen of Indonesia upon his adoption by Lolo Soetoro simply scoured the probate records until she found someone who died who was not receiving Social Security benefits, and selected Mr. Ludwig's Connecticut SSN for Obama.

Although many Americans do not understand the meaning of the term "natural born" there are few who do not understand that if you are using someone else's SSN it is a clear indication of fraud.
Let's all get this information out to everybody on our mailing lists..
If the voters of this great nation can succeed in bringing this lying, deceitful, cheating, corrupt, impostor to justice it will be the
biggest and best news in decades for our country and the world.

****************************************************************************************************
Very Interesting Bit of Detective Work:
1.
Back in 1961 people of color
were called 'Negroes.' So how can the
Obama 'birth certificate' state he is
'African-American when
the term wasn't even used at that time?

2.
The birth certificate that the
White House released lists Obama's birth
as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack
Hussein Obama as his father.
No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth,
it also shows that his
father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's
father was born in
" Kenya , East Africa ". This wouldn't
seem like anything of concern,
except the fact that Kenya did not even
exist until 1963, two whole years
after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his
father's birth. How could
Obama's father have been born in a country that
did not yet exist? Up
and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was
known as the " British East
Africa Protectorate".

3.
On the birth certificate
released by the White House, the listed place of
birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity
Gynecological Hospital ". This cannot
be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961
were called "KauiKeolani
Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani
Maternity Home", respectively.
The name did not change to
Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital
until 1978, when these two hospitals merged.
How can this particular
name of the hospital be on a birth certificate
dated 1961 if this name had
not yet been applied to it until 1978?

Paul Ryan: Facts about Health Care, Budget

3 things every voter needs to know about Paul Ryan’s Medicare reform plan–in 100 words

By James Pethokoukis |

 

In his most excellent post on the Paul Ryan vice presidential pick, AEI’s Andrew Biggs highlights some key facts about Ryan’s approach to saving Medicare. 

These are clip and save:

1. No one over the age of 55 would be affected in any way.

2. Traditional Medicare fee-for-service would remain available for all. “Premium support”—that is, government funding of private insurance plans chosen by individuals—is an option for those who choose it. No senior would be forced out of the traditional Medicare program against his will.

3. Overall funding for Medicare under the Ryan-Wyden plan is scheduled to grow at the same rate as under President Obama’s proposals. Is this “gutting Medicare” and “ending Medicare as we know it”? In reality, it’s the market giving seniors cheaper, higher quality choices they can take if they wish, with the traditional program remaining an option.

Supreme Court, Immigration, and History Timeline

History Timeline

Dinner Topics for Tuesday: What do Leaders of Tomorrow have in common with Queen Esther of Ancient Times?

What can we learn from these moments on the history timeline? Consider the following three examples, then do an analysis. What would you do?

Old Testament Era

“For Such a Time As This”  Esther, by Elspeth Young.  Copyright 2003.  All Rights Reserved.  Used by Permission of Al Young Studios.

Mordecai, the Jew, refuses to do obeisance to Haman—Haman arranges a decree to kill all the Jews in the kingdom. Mordecai and the Jews mourn and fast because of the king’s decree. Mordecai asks his niece, Queen Esther, to petition the king on behalf of her people, saying, —. . .and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

Then Esther bade them [the messengers] return Mordecai this answer,

Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.  (Esther 4:14-16)

Esther, at the peril of her life, went in unto the king.

Esther, as the queen chosen by the King of Persia, found herself in a difficult position—it was necessary for her to oppose one of the king’s decrees, in order to preserve the lives of her people. Her uncle, Mordecai, urged her to petition the king for the protection of her people. She did so, even though it was dangerous, and not popular with the ruling regime. God was with her, and she was able to affect the law so that her people could protect themselves.

The Fall of Rome

The sack of 455, A.D. was the second of three barbarian sacks of Rome; it was executed by the Vandals.

Upon the Vandal arrival, according to the chronicler Prosper of Aquitaine, Pope Leo I requested that Genseric not destroy the ancient city or murder its inhabitants. Genseric agreed and the gates of Rome were thrown open to him and his men. Maximus, who fled rather than fight the Vandal warlord, was killed by a Roman mob outside the city, possibly together with his son Palladius.

It is accepted that Genseric looted great amounts of treasure from the city, and also took Lucinia Eudoxia and her daughters hostage. The sack of 455 is generally seen by historians as being more thorough than the Visagothic sack of 410, because the Vandals plundered Rome for fourteen days whereas the Visigoths spent only three days in the city.

The cause of most controversy, however, is the claim that the sack was relatively “clean”, in that there was little murder and violence, and the Vandals did not burn the buildings of the city. This interpretation seems to stem from Prosper’s claim that Leo managed to persuade Genseric to refrain from violence. However, Victor of Vita records how many shiploads of captives arrived in Africa from Rome, with the purpose of being sold into slavery. Similarly, the Byzantine historian Procopius reports how at least one church was burnt down. (Source: Wikipedia)

Arizona Immigration Law: What would you do?

The United States is faced with insecure borders.  American citizens have been violated, vandalized, and even murdered by immigrants who have not entered the country legally—essentially they have invaded this country. Children have had their identity stolen to create fraudulent papers. Many of these criminals are not being held accountable, as in the following example.

“Political correctness also does its best to affect the collective judgment of the American people when it comes to illegal immigration. There is no question it affects law enforcement agencies. I had one veteran police officer tell me when they stop illegal aliens for some violation, they often just send them on down the road after the same violation for which a lawful citizen would have been ticketed, fined or jailed.

Evidently this attitude also affects the feds in charge of enforcing our immigration laws. Did you see the story out of the state of Washington where an illegal immigrant was arrested after being caught in the act of raping a woman? He had been deported nine times. You read that right, NINE times.” ~ Tim Wildmon, director, the American Family Association.

Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona responds to questions regarding her efforts to secure the borders and protect her people from a growing criminal element among illegal aliens.

“The irony is that President Obama’s Administration has chosen to sue Arizona for helping to enforce federal immigration law, and not sue local governments that have adopted a patchwork of ‘sanctuary’ policies that directly violate federal law.”  ~Governor Jan Brewer

Question: What is the reaction of the majority of the population in Arizona to the federal government’s hostility toward the Arizona immigration law?

Brewer: They’re outraged. And rightfully so. These people are supposed to be protecting us. Not assaulting us.

Question: Your family must not like seeing you go through this.

Brewer: No. and they don’t like to see me under fire, and the nasty things that are said and the horrible things and the comments, and efforts made against me and the manner in which they are made.

Question: Most people probably don’t under stand what it’s like, either as a governor or a private citizen, which you also are—to be targeted by, demonized by, and aimed at by the President of the United States. Have you ever. . .been temped to say, “Forget it—it’s not worth it?”

Brewer: Well, sometimes I get a little bit down. But then I hear from so many people, and the encouragement and their support and their prayers have really taken me through all of this. Certainly it has been rigorous and it’s been difficult—and it has been something I would have never, ever anticipated that I would be in the position of doing. But I’m here, and I’m not going to back down. I’m going to keep going. I’m going to do it for every American. Because it’s the right thing to do. (Source: Limbaugh Letter, August, 2010, p.9)

 

Today

Would the States conceivably have entered into the Union if the Constitution itself contained the Court's holding? Today's judgment surely fails that test. "'The laws under challenge here do not extend or revise federal immigration restrictions, but merely enforce those restrictions more effectively. If securing its territory in this fashion is not within the power of Arizona, we should cease referring to it as a sovereign State.'" ~Supreme Court Justice Anton Scalia, regarding Supreme Court ruling on Obama regime’s suit against the state of Arizona

To American Young Adults: Who Knows Whether You Are Come. . .For Such a Time as This?

As college students and young adult Americans, you will be our leaders of tomorrow. You may find yourselves in situations similar to Queen Esther, Governor Brewer, or even the ruling powers of Rome in 455, A.D. Educate yourselves, prepare yourselves. What would you do if you were a leader?
