EVERY YEAR GOING BACK FOR YEARS AND YEARS GAYS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND IN NATIONS WERE ISLAM IS RUNNING THINGS ARE MURDER AND KILLED JUST FOR BEING GAY.<br>
<br>

NO ONE IN THE CONGRESS, SENATE, OR WHITE HOUSE WILL CALL THEM ON IT.  BUSH DIDN'T, CLINTON DIDN'T, CARTER DIDN'T, REAGON DIDN'T MANY REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSES HAVE NOT!!!<br>
<br>
STEP  UP AND CALL ISALM WHAT IT IS!! A MASS SEXIST, RACIST, AND MURDEROUS RELIGION!!!<br>
<br>
WHEN ISLAM STARTS CALLING OUT OTHER ISLAMIST FOR THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR AND STOPS THIS FROM HAPPENING THEN GAY PEOPLE. OTHER REILGIONS WHO ARE ATTACKED DAILY IN ISLAMIC NATIONS CAN LIVE IN PEACE!!<br>
<br>
ISLAM ALLOWS THE "KILLING OF DAUGHTERS" WHO DON'T GO WITH FIXED UP MARRIAGES!!!AGAIN WERE IS WOMENS MOVEMENTS?<br>
<br>
SEE WHAT HAS HAPPEN LIKE SO MANY THINGS IS DNC HAS SO MUCH POWER OVER THESE GAY, WOMENS, AND OTHER SPEICAL INTEREST MOVEMENTS THEY ARE CONTROLED BY DNC NOT "INDEPENDENT LEADERS"<br>
<br>
WE HAVE TO CHANGE AMERICA AND ALL THE BILLION DOLLAR SPEICAL INTEREST MOVEMENTS THAT CONTROL ALL THE $$$$ THAT IS GIVEN.  THAT IS WHY GAY MOVEMENTS, WOMENS MOVEMENTS, AND OTHERS WON'T SPEAK OUT.  FEAR OF BEING CUT OFF OF THOSE FEDERAL DOLLARS!!<br>
<br>
FUCK UNCLE SAM AND IT'S TRILLION DOLLAR WHORISH WAYS.  <br>
<br>
UNCLE SAM WON'T LET GROUPS SPEAK OUT ABOUT ISLAMIC FACISM, RACISM, SEXISM, GAY KILLINGS, AND ON.<br>
<br>
ISLAM NEEDS TO CLEAN IT'S SHIT UP BIG TIME TO GAIN RESPECT!!!<br>
<br>

<br>
DEATH TO ALL ISLAMIC FACIST USING BOMBS, MURDER, AND HATE TO MAKE OTHERS FEAR THEM!!!<br>

<description><![CDATA[Debating with a CONSPIRACY person is like sticking a knife thru your eye with rust, jagged edges, and no COMMON SENSE WHAT SO EVER!!<br>
<br>
Over 65% who post on here are anti-Jew, Anti-USA, anti-Capitolist, Anti-Christain, Anti-Gun rights, anti-low taxes, anti-any thing but hate for America!!!<br>
<br>
Do not bother going back and forth with nut bags that would be in a nut bag house but thanks to libby tards in the late 60's early 70's we closed those up!!!<br>
<br>
Just becasue you have a home pc and can post on craigslist doesnt' make you smart, informed on Islam, up to date on Iran, and open minded to get beyond radical anti-USA, Anarchy type thinking.<br>
<br>
Remeber gen-x typers go on and on about all kinds of lies with no facts to back them up.  The only area I agree with gen-x on is the two party system suck ass bad!!!<br>
<br>
The middle class are fucked by both trillionaire back parties.<br>
<br>
Even neo-podunk doesnt' get that.<br>
<br>
DNC has been at the helm for more wars, racism, slavery, invasions, and assasinations of other nations leaders.  Hell.  JFK/LBJ use to hold secret meetings were they would discuss who to shot with a sniper rifle in Latin America to gain power for USA and take on USSR type stuff.  <br>
<br>
Isalmic Facism is real.  I stayed 3 years in Abu Dabi.  NO SINGLE STORE THERE IS OWNED BY ANYONE OF JEWISH BIRTH.  NO ONE.  YOU COULD BE A CRIP FROM LA AND THE STORE IS YOURS FOR THE RIGHT MONEY.  IF YOUR A JEW YOU CAN'T OPEN UP A FREE CANCER CLINIC.  THE RADICALS OF ISLAM WOULD KILL YOUR FAMLIY, FRIENDS, AND ASSOCIATES.  ISLAM NEEDS TO CHIL THE FUCK OUT WITH ALL THE HATE AND SHIT.<br>
<br>
ISLAM HAS BEEN CONTROLING THE MIDDLE EAST FOR 1000'S OF YEARS.  THEY HAVE BEEN KILLING EACH OTHER LIKE THE TRIBES OF AFRICA.  HELL THOSE INDIANS IN AMERICA THAT YOUR HIGHSCHOOL TEACHER TOLD YOU WERE SMOKING PAOTI AND HUNTING DEAR.  THOSE INDIANS WERE KILLING, INSLAVING, AND MURDERING EACH OTHER FASTER THAN YOU COULD SHAKE A STICK AT.  THEY USE TO HOLD "PREEMPTIVE STRIKES"  "INVASIONS" AND SUCH.  TODAYS' WATER DOWNED WHITE GUILT TEACHINGS HAVE TOLD LIES ABOUT THEM.  THESE WERE WARRIORS WHO COULD FIGHT DOUBLE AND TRIPLE THE NUMBERS OF ARMED AMEIRCAN SOLIDERS IN MANY BATTLES.  YOU DONT' LEARN TO FIGHT LIKE THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE 1000'S OF YEARS OF BATTLES FOUGHT WITH OTHER INDIANS!!!<br>

<description><![CDATA[Another Harvard Ass. Yeah, that sounds really enlightening. See if you can get Islam on board with that one. How pathetic are you to keep up the fight for "A Grey World", all the while the barbaric monkeys of the world get stronger. They should close that "school" down, it's full of idiots. You're so stupid you dont even understand how to use a religion for your own good. I'm non-denominational but i'll stand by christianity anyday! Oh and if (pdx) is reading this, the Boogeyman is fictional, muslims are for real.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Greg Epstein: “Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe”<br>
<br>
       Greg M. Epstein, the Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University, will speak in Portland about his new book: an inspiring and provocative exploration of an alternative to traditional religion.	<br>
        In "Good Without God," Greg Epstein presents a balanced and inclusive response to current global crises: Humanism. With a focus on the positive, he highlights humanity's potential for goodness and the ways in which Humanists lead lives of purpose and compassion.

<title><![CDATA[Sean Hannity apologizes, kind of.]]></title>
<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pol/1463187806.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[<br>
<br>
<br>
So last night, Fox News host Sean Hannity did something many will call shocking, some will call phony and insincere, and I'll call, at the very least, uncharacteristic of his network and those it speaks for: he apologized.<br>
<br>
At the end of his show, which as usual featured an hour of unrestrained Obama-bashing and GOP cheerleading, Hannity copped to something he in many ways had no choice but to cop to -- at least if he wanted FNC to be able to maintain the illusion that it's a legitimate news network. He admitted that Jon Stewart was right when, two nights ago, the host of The Daily Show pointed out that Hannity and company had run video of a September Tea Bagger rally on Capitol Hill during a story about last week's Tea Bagger rally. The difference? Maybe 40 or 50 thousand people. Stewart's point was that it looked as if Hannity had used the old footage of the much bigger crowd to try to hype the numbers at the more recent protest; what made The Daily Show staff apparently think that Hannity's deception was deliberate -- aside from the fact that it would take a 6-year-old with Down Syndrome to mix up file footage with brand new video -- were the startlingly obvious differences in the images themselves: leaves still on the trees in the September clip, people in late-summer short sleeves versus mid-fall coats and scarves, etc.<br>
<br>
Regardless, Hannity now says he's sorry:<br>
<br>
"Although it pains me to say this, Jon Stewart, Comedy Central, he was right. Now on his program last night, he mentioned that we had played some inccorect video on this program last week while talking about the Republican health care rally on Capitol Hill. He was correct, we screwed up. we aired some video of a rally in September along with a video from the actual event. It was an inadvertent mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. So, Mr. Stewart, you were right. We apologize. But by the way, we wanna thank you and all your writers for watching."<br>
<br>
You've almost gotta admire Hannity for managing to come off as both contrite and a smarmy little prick to the end. More on that in a minute, though.<br>
<br>
If you're asking yourself right now whether Sean Hannity really is sorry that his show ran a bad piece of video -- one that regardless of intent would've mislead the viewer into thinking that last week's Frootloopalooza was on the scale of September's -- you're obviously not familiar with the Fox News Channel or right-wing punditry in general these days. True, Hannity made the somewhat surprising and magnanimous gesture of admitting to an error and crediting the right's mortal enemies at The Daily Show for busting him on it. Contrast that with Rush Limbaugh's response a few weeks ago when confronted with the news that he'd just spent an entire radio show angrily railing against Barack Obama for writing a college thesis decrying the Constitution, when in reality the paper in question had never even existed -- the article he got the story from was nothing more than satire. Limbaugh didn't give a crap that he'd just made what any well-adjusted person would consider a monumental ass out of himself; "I don't care if these quotes are made up, I know Obama thinks it," was his jaw-droppingly defiant response. So yeah, the fact that simply admitting you fucked up is such a big deal isn't so much a nod to, say, Fox News's reputation for honesty and respectability as it is proof of how far we've lowered the bar when it comes to what we expect from the right's obstinate mouthpieces.<br>
<br>
Once again, Hannity pretty much had to man up because he may not have a responsibility to the truth but, unlike Limbaugh, he has a responsibility to the illusion. He couldn't not concede that the video his show aired was essentially a lie because no matter how much we all know that it's bullshit, Fox still goes to great lengths to bill itself as an unbiased news network. There are some things that are beyond the pale, even for a nominal news outlet that slants drastically in one direction: You can't run one piece of video and say it's something else.<br>
<br>
Did Sean Hannity's show really make an "inadvertent mistake?" Probably not. Like I said, something like that is a very hard mistake to make. Is Hannity really sorry for the screw-up? No, of course not; he's sorry he got caught, and his less-than-humble admission that he'd been busted -- right down to getting in that last little barb in his retraction, the one that's the trademark faux-genteel "fuck you" of all official Fox responses to critics -- is the tip of the cards that lets Fox acolytes know that while he's conceding this battle to the enemy, it's being done with a wink and crossed-finger]]></description>

<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pol/1463172572.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Doug Hoffman of New Yorks 23 Congressional District Conceded the race the day after the election <br>
base on reports (from Democratic election workers) that he carried his Oswego county (his strongest county) by only 500 <br>
votes and that he was lossing by over 5000 votes with 93% of the votes counted.<br>
<br>
Well it now appears that all this stuff is a lie.<br>
<br>
Hoffman carrried Oswego by over 1795 votes and there are some 10,000 absentee ballots to be counted yet (considerbly <br>
more than the 7% of the total vote counted).   Since most of the absentee ballots are from military serving over seas, and <br>
those ballots generally got 3 to 1 in favor the more conservative candidate they just may swing the election to Hoffman.<br>
<br>
Base on preliminary vote counts (not certified) the Democrats did a hurry up swear in of Owens (The Democratic <br>
Candidate on the Friday Night before the Satureday Health Care Vote) so Nancy could have one more vote for Health care (Which Owens campaigned against)<br>
<br>
So here is where we stand.<br>
 <br>
A Democratic candidate sworn in on a election that hasn't been certified yet.<br>
<br>
A Democrtic Candidate once in office voting for what he told the voters he would vote against.<br>
<br>
Election Officials (AFSME Union members and Democratic Supporters) Telling the conservative<br>
candidate he had lost when they didn't even know them selves.<br>
<br>
Yeap Sounds Like another Democratic run election to me.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Obama's Real Enemies List]]></title>
<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pol/1463122166.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[By Mark Hyman on 10.26.09 @ 6:09AM<br>
<br>
Much has been made by the political left of Richard Nixon's infamous enemies list. The reality is most of those named were people who did not receive presidential Christmas cards or White House reception invitations. <br>
<br>
In contrast, Barack Obama has a real enemies list the peace prize-winner and his proxies have attacked during the past year, including the minority of news outlets that do not worship the media's latest false idol. <br>
<br>
In August 2008, the Obama campaign implored the Justice Department to levy criminal charges against those funding an American Issues Project commercial that proved embarrassing to Obama. Days later, the campaign sent an "Obama Action Wire" to thousands of liberal activists exhorting them to harass Chicago's WGN radio because an on-air guest unearthed university documents that contradicted Obama's claims about his long-time ties to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. <br>
<br>
In the autumn, state prosecutors and top sheriffs in the swing state of Missouri who were prominent Obama supporters complied with a chilling Obama campaign request. The officials threatened to prosecute media outlets that printed or broadcasted material they deemed to be inaccurate about the Democratic nominee. <br>
<br>
In the final days before the election, three newspapers that endorsed John McCain were booted from the Obama campaign bus. The New York Post, Dallas Morning News and Washington Times were unceremoniously shown the door immediately after their papers' endorsements appeared and were replaced with Jet and Ebony magazines. <br>
<br>
In only his third full day as president Obama personally went on the offensive against a media personality. Obama warned Congressional Republicans against listening to Rush Limbaugh. The man who offered to sit down with Holocaust denier and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad drew a line in the sand regarding a born-in-the-heartland radio talk show host. <br>
<br>
Earlier this year, Justice Department political appointees killed a six-month investigation by career DOJ lawyers into the most blatant voter intimidation case in 40 years. Last November, jack-booted, uniformed, baton-wielding thugs from the New Black Panther Party obstructed a Philadelphia polling location and behaved in an intimidating manner toward white voters, apparently for having the appearance of someone who might possibly vote for McCain. <br>
<br>
Only weeks into his term, Obama established several embarrassing presidential firsts including targeting private individuals by names, assigning Shauna Daly a well-known "partisan dirt-digger" and non-lawyer to the White House Counsel's Office to likely gain access to Bush Administration documents protected under attorney-client privilege, and moving the senior political advisor into the West Wing. Daly left the White House after a mere month and returned to the Democratic National Committee where using privileged attorney-client information in opposition research would set a new low in unethical practices. <br>
<br>
At the cost of denigrating the Office of the President, Obama's chief political strategist attacked a 21-year-old beauty pageant contestant whose public views were out of step with those of Administration allies. Fifty-four year-old David Axelrod appeared on National Public Radio last May and insisted Carrie Prejean was one of three finalists for the Obama family dog. An NPR studio audience showered Axelrod with cheers. Weeks before, Prejean was victimized by a militant homosexual judge who was angered she did not enthusiastically endorse gay marriage during the Miss USA competition. <br>
<br>
Earlier in the spring, the Department of Homeland Security circulated a document warning law enforcement of an alleged threat posed by "domestic rightwing terrorists." Included in the group of potential terrorists were individuals who are pro-life, support the Second Amendment and oppose the flood of illegal aliens. The DHS pamphlet also singled out military veterans as possible domestic terrorists in-waiting. <br>
<br>
White House targets include sectors of an entire industry. A common thread among the list of 789 Chrysler dealerships ordered closed by the White House is that the owners donated to GOP candidates, Republican-leaning causes or donated to Hillary Clinton or John Edwards during the Democratic presidential primaries. <br>
<br>
Apparently successful franchises such as Chrysler's highest-rated 5-star dealerships were ordered closed in favor of less successful car lots and the consistent discriminator was which political party the owners supported. Reportedly, the closure list was drawn up by the office of the then-car czar, Steven Rattner. It is no surprise that Rattner's wife is Maureen White, the former Democratic National Committee Finance Chair. <br>
<br>
Also targeted during the auto industry purge were financial institutions that did not willingly accept Obama's political demands in Chrysler's restructuring. One fund manager reported being on the receiving end of a profanity-laced tirade by Rattner that included threats to use the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange Commission in gangster-like enforcement roles. <br>
<br>
At mid-year, the White House ordered the firing of Gerald Walpin as Inspector General of the Corporation for National and Community Service after Walpin discovered a key Obama supporter misused federal grant money. Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson squandered $850,000 in grant funds to inflate staff salaries and pay for personal services instead of the intended purpose of tutoring impoverished schoolchildren. Walpin's firing was in direct violation of a federal statute barring the removal of an IG without first filing a 30-day notice with Congress. <br>
<br>
When the Tea Party movement was at its height, the White House publicized an email address, encouraging supporters to turn-in neighbors who opposed the Obama Administration's socialized medicine proposals. In a similar vein, the White House began collecting and archiving comments from social-networking sites without disclosing these practices to the public. <br>
<br>

<title><![CDATA[The Man Who Despises America]]></title>
<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pol/1463117239.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[The very next paragraph is going to make the nut jobs on the far left excitable beyond belief. I am not referring to all Democrats or even a majority of liberals. I am singling out the "they've-lost-all-touch-with-reality" crowd. This includes Media Matters for America led by the admitted hit-and-run, drunk-driving serial liar. The group includes the unshaven, bathrobe-clad unemployed who live in their mother's basement and are devout followers of MoveOn.Org. It is also the bitter, aging spinster working at the New York Times, the morbidly obese documentary film maker, and cable TV news' resident drama queen who hosts MSNBC's Countdown. They are about to simultaneously suffer from brain aneurisms. So without further delay, I'll say it. <br>
<br>
Barack Obama despises America. <br>
<br>
When people who voted for Obama in 2008 -- including registered Democrats -- start speaking in normal conversational voices at dinner parties, neighborhood gatherings and PTA meetings that the over-inflated ego from Chicago has it "in for America," then it's clear most reasonable people have reached the same conclusion. <br>
<br>
The central conviction of Obama's ideology is that America is guilty of limitless moral failures and is the chief architect of the world's ills. Obama has boundless enmity for America, its key institutions, and its longtime allies. Consider these facts. <br>
<br>
The 30-years of Obama's post-adolescent life are radical by any measure. First, he grew up listening to the ramblings of committed Communist Frank Marshall Davis. It had such a profound effect on him that he wrote fondly of Davis in his first book. In fact, that book is replete with statement after statement about how the U.S. is deeply flawed. Most Americans believe in American exceptionalism. Not so with Obama. <br>
<br>
Patriotic Americans would not have listened to the bigoted, anti-Semitic, hate-America rants of a fringe religious leader for 20 seconds let alone for 20 years. Yet, Obama who admitted he attended services at Trinity United Church at least twice a month for two decades called Jeremiah Wright his mentor and his moral sounding board. <br>
<br>
Nor would most Americans cultivate a close friendship with an admitted domestic terrorist and his wife whose most notable life's accomplishments were to set off bombs that killed and maimed innocent people. <br>
<br>
Joining Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright in organizing attendance at Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan's 1995 march on Washington is beyond imaginable. Especially after Farrakhan demonstrated public support for Colonel Muammar Qaddafi during the Libyan Leader's most bellicose years against the U.S., which included Libyan complicity in numerous terrorist attacks. <br>
<br>
Obama's view of America in national security and foreign affairs is profoundly disappointing to say the least. <br>
<br>
Americans overwhelmingly view the men and women who saved Europe and the Far East during World War II as comprising the Greatest Generation. By his comments and actions, President Obama obviously thinks otherwise. <br>
<br>
Obama did not honor American greatness on the 60th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift while on his first European trip. Instead, he accused "America [of having] shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive" toward its European allies. <br>
<br>
He also denigrated the accomplishments of the American G.I. during World War II in the Pacific theater when he offered a thinly veiled apology for the U.S. having dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those acts brought the war to a swift conclusion, perhaps saving hundreds of thousands of lives when it appeared Japan was prepared to wage an island-by-island battle to the last man. <br>
<br>
Obama ordered the release of the so-called CIA "torture memos," seriously damaging delicate intelligence relations with allied nations and placing at grave risk the safety of U.S. intelligence officers working overseas. The impact of his action handcuffs the ability of U.S. intelligence officials to protect the U.S. and American interests from acts of terrorism. <br>
<br>
In a matter of weeks last spring, Obama gave deference to a variety of belligerent leaders while stiff-arming longtime American allies. First, he called for closer relations with Cuba while ignoring that nation's long list of continuing human rights abuses. Then he warmly welcomed Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez at an Organization of American States summit. <br>
<br>
Next, he failed to respond and set the record straight after Nicaragua's Communist leader Daniel Ortega listed alleged U.S. crimes and atrocities during a nearly one-hour rant at the OAS meeting. It is unsettling that in his own remarks Obama incorrectly claimed the OAS has 36 members rather than the actual 34. Ortega and the hemisphere's other Socialist leaders claim the OAS would include 36 members if Cuba and an independent Puerto Rico were allowed to join. Mere coincidence or Freudian slip? <br>
<br>
Immediately following the OAS embarrassments, Obama ignored a request from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet. Obama would repeat this snub six months later before agreeing at the last moment to meet Netanyahu after the Israeli leader was en route the U.S. <br>
<br>
In his speech before the Muslim world, Obama made the patently absurd claim of equivalency between the status of displaced Palestinians and the slaughter of millions of Jews during the Holocaust. His claim that 7 million Muslims live in the U.S. is a figure inflated by as much as 700%. <br>
<br>
In an earlier speech, Obama claimed that the U.S. is not a Christian nation, which is at odds with the fact that 79% of Americans self-identify as Christians and the nation's founders were devout Christians. <br>
<br>
In less than six months in office, Obama apologized for Guantanamo Bay; for alleged mistakes committed by the CIA; for U.S. policy in the Americas; for America's history of slavery; for "sacrificing [American] values;" for "hasty decisions" in the war on terror; for "America's standing in the world;" for American errors in foreign policy; and for U.S. relations with the Muslim world. <br>
<br>
He pronounced Iran's pursuit of nuclear technology acceptable and he warned Netanyahu against targeting Iran's nuclear facilities. Obama's approach to Iran is eerily similar to that of Jimmy Carter, whose actions contributed to the fall of that nation into the control of Islamic radicals. <br>
<br>
This summer, the door to greater individual freedoms in Iran was firmly closed shut when Obama announced the U.S would not meddle in Iran's election and he offered no encouragement to democracy activists who protested the obviously stolen elections. His silence was deafening when regime security agents savagely attacked and killed countless Iranians who took to the streets. <br>
<br>
In contrast to his deference to anti-American leaders such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, and Daniel Ortega, Obama strong-armed Netanyahu on key Israeli matters. In addition to snubbing the Israeli Prime Minister's requests to meet, Obama demanded an end to Israeli settlements and insisted on the creation of a two-state Palestine solution. <br>
<br>
Obama abandoned NATO members Poland and the Czech Republic by canceling the central Europe missile defense plan just as rogue nations North Korea and Iran make advances in nuclear and ballistic missile production. The cancellation was demanded by Moscow authorities who have adopted a more confrontational posture toward the west. <br>
<br>
Solidarity with freedom-loving East Germans has been a staple of the American presidency for nearly 50 years. John Kennedy pronounced himself a Berliner. Ronald Reagan demanded Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev "Tear down this wall!" Yet, this bricks and mortar icon of first, Soviet totalitarianism, and then, second, the end of Soviet domination did not make the cut as Obama chose not to attend the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall. In the summer of 2008, Obama altogether skipped mentioning the role of the U.S. -- or even the West, for that matter -- in bringing down the wall, instead crediting "a world that stands as one." <br>
<br>
Obama's disagreement with American values and institutions is evident in domestic issues. He has stocked his administration with wild-eyed radicals who believe foreign law trumps the U.S. Constitution (Harold Koh); include an avowed Marxist and "truther" who believes George Bush was complicit in the 9/11 attack and is also an ardent supporter of cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal (Van Jones); and include a devoted admirer of Mao Tse-tung who slaughtered as many as 75 million people (Anita Dunn). (In contrast, George W. Bush's Attorney-General nominee John Ashcroft was savaged by the news media for being an Evangelical Christian.) <br>
<br>
Three weeks after America's first black president was sworn in, the nation's first black Attorney-General who was hand-picked by Obama, called America "a nation of cowards" for some perceived race relations shortfall. The understood meaning of Eric Holder's comments is that white people are still racists. However, the reality is the people most preoccupied with fomenting the racial divide are those who populate the ranks of the Obama Administration. <br>
<br>
Obama's Homeland Secretary designated military veterans as terrorists-in-waiting to be equally as dangerous as other domestic terrorists including pro-lifers and citizens opposed to the flood of illegal aliens. <br>
<br>
One of Obama's very few suggestions to cut into his $1.4 trillion budget deficit was to have servicemen and women pay for their own war injuries. He's all for providing free health care to illegal aliens but believes wounded warriors should foot their own hospital bills. In fact, the Defense Department is about the only sector of government in which Obama has proposed slashing spending. <br>
<br>
Hours after a belligerent "African-American Studies" Harvard professor engaged in behavior unbefitting anyone let alone a professional man, Obama accused the exceedingly tolerant Cambridge police officers as having "acted stupidly" and then digressed into how people of color have been unfairly treated by white America. <br>
<br>
Bush was prolific in quietly and privately visiting the military wounded and family of the fallen. In contrast, Obama attempted to make political capital of his one visit to Dover Air Force Base. Obama's motives were so transparent that families of 17 of the 18 fallen denied permission for Obama to engage in a photo-op alongside the returning caskets. <br>
<br>
In May, Obama immediately issued a statement that he was "shocked and outraged by the murder" of a Kansas doctor specializing in partial-birth abortions. He called it a "heinous act of violence." Attorney-General Holder mobilized U.S. Marshals nationwide to provide protection to abortion clinics. <br>
<br>
But Obama remained silent the very next day when two U.S. soldiers were gunned down by a Muslim extremist outside a Little Rock recruiting station. After repeated prodding for a presidential comment, the White House faxed an after-hours statement to select media outlets two days later offering a tepid remark that Obama was "saddened" without even mentioning the soldiers were murdered. <br>
<br>
Five months later, another Muslim fanatic gunned down nearly four dozen Americans, killing 13, at the Ft. Hood army base. It was an act that demanded the most serious demeanor of the military's Commander-in-Chief. Yet, Obama referenced the massacre in the most insincere fashion just seconds after a jocular shout-out to an audience member during a public speaking engagement. It was the equivalent of attending a funeral in swimwear while en route to the beach. <br>
<br>
The odd inadvertent comment or occasional verbal faux pas can be explained away as just that. However, Obama has a lifetime of comments and actions including 10 months as president that belie his real attitude toward the U.S. The difference between Obama and his immediate predecessors such as Ronald Reagan, the George Bushes and Bill Clinton who actually revere and honor the greatness of America and its citizens and institutions cannot be overstated.<br>

<description><![CDATA[I rarely get past the posting titles anymore.<br>
<br>
Brain dead, stupid to the point of treason morons are so glaringly obvious on this board.<br>
<br>
Why would I subject myself to reading some ALL CAPS run on sentence about nothing but fantasyland lies<br>
<br>
about war and religion? I wouldn't. But he was right about one thing.<br>
<br>
Israel is laughing at us. They Own our PROPAGANDA CORPORATE MEDIA and it's as simple as<br>
<br>
blow up a building or two or THREE and tell them a SCARY TURBAN MAN DID IT!!<br>
<br>
They will line up by the millions to go fight without asking any questions.<br>
<br>
Look at how well it worked for Pearl Harbor. 80% of the country wanted NOTHING TO DO WITH IT until<br>
<br>
the fleet was intentionally left ungaurded while simultaneously blockading and provoking Japan into an attack.<br>
<br>
I'm not saying that we did not need to stop Imperial Japan back then, we did need to. But we didn't need the <br>
<br>
big setup and "Surprise Attack" story and the gigantic debt that came along with yet another international war.<br>
<br>
I'm sure that none of the worlds bankers who PROFIT from international wars are Jewish or from Israel, Right?<br>

<description><![CDATA[God don't you just love the lefties and there slavish disreguard for facts when they try to make a political point.<br>
<br>
Like saying that there were 50,000 deaths on america's highways when in fact there were only 37,313 (in 2008).  His Inflation of<br>
that number by 30% didn't impress me much.  Then he forgot to add that most of the deaths were alcohol related, and I'll<br>
bet because of his/her superiour intelligence he/she wants to legalize pot so now we can have even more drivers impaired on <br>
the nations Highways.<br>
<br>
Then he went on his rant about infant mortality rates, but forgot to add that 25% of the neonatal deaths are linked to<br>
being born premature.   The premature birth rate increased over the past 20 years as function of, malnurishment,<br>
obesity, and drug and alcohol addicition.   Most premature births occure in Blacks, (17%), Native American (13.5%)<br>
hispanic (12%).  White premature births are at (11.5%) and asian-american at (10.5%).  Coincdenetally those numbers<br>
correlate nicely with drug and alcohol addiction rates.<br>
<br>
He keeps saying that we righties have to keep inventing boogy men, when we all know that is really false.  We have only<br>
one boogy man to worry about, posters like him.   I mean he doesn't hesitate to tell you that because of his superior <br>
intelligence he should have the right, to tell you, how much you should make, how much of your money you should keep,<br>
how big of a house you choose to live in, how much and what kind of food you should eat, what you should watch on <br>
television and hear on  radio, what kind of car you should drive, what kind of medical care you should recieve, and <br>
god forbid that you should own a gun of any type or kind.<br>
<br>
So now back to the rant of this superior intelligent member of our society.  Notice how he/she just made up a bunch of <br>
numbers or took a lot of public knowledge and didn't provide any facts or figures to put those numbers in a context that<br>
we could rally work with.<br>
<br>
Mean while because of his or her superior intelligence he/she gets to work at a government job with high pay, golden <br>
benifit package, no responsibilities and no productive work, or go to school for the rest of his life so he/she can continue<br>
to write inane posts on craigslest  to prove to the world how superior he/she really is.  Meanwhile us poor retarded righties<br>
must continue to go to work, to provide goods and services that our fellow man WANTS TO BUY;  (not forced to buy), go<br>
home to our house and loved ones, and carry on the best we can, with what little money all the governments let us keep so <br>
self deluded superior men (Ober-menchen, strike a memory in any one?) can continue to peddle their shit on an open forum.<br>
<br>
Just though I would add my $.02 worth.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Obama Finds Legal Way Around The 2nd. Amendment and Uses It.<br>
Wed Oct 14, 2009 11:56pm EDT Reuters News Service<br>
The Full Article Here<br>
<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE59E0Q920091015"  rel="nofollow">http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE59E0Q920091015</a><br>
Subject: Obama Takes First Step in Banning All Firearms<br>
On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States<br>
<br>
On Wednesday the Obama administration took its first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.<br>
<br>
The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment.<br>
<br>
This is not a joke nor a false warning. As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control.<br>

U.S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade<br>
<br>
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.<br>
<br>
The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush's administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.<br>

<description><![CDATA[Here's a perfect example of the rightie's need for a boogyman. Now I'm told the greatest danger to my safety is a muslim terrorist blowing me up in a mall somewhere. Never mind the 50,000 people a year who die on our highways, there's certainly no pressing need to improve safety there. 135 people every day loosing their lives, and that's just U.S. highways. How about our infant mortality rate, getting born is a risky business. Suicides are rising, we're a danger to ourselves. Now this goob wants us to believe our absolute greatest danger is some muslim extemest with a dynamite belt. And what these righties don't understand is that you can't beat these idiot ragheads conventionally, but the righties keep trying.  Thinking outside the box is not their strong suit. This poster is also a perfect example of the hordes of previous bush supporters, those most responsible for those eight horrific years, backpedaling with all their might. All of a sudden, none of this has anything to do with that idiot, george jr, that's so yesterday.  Don't fall for a single thing this poster has to say, more people will die TODAY on their way to work than will come to any harm in some mall, somewhere, someday. I'm not saying it won't happen, I'm just putting it into perspective. This bozo would have us spend all our national resources on safeguarding a hundred people while ignoring the safety of tens of thousands. This isn't just a misprioritization, it's a blatant attempt to make make his political point that the neo-cons would have kept us so much safer than Pres Obama.]]></description>

<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pol/1462683875.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Only 10 percent huh?  What a load of bullshit! Where are all of these "good muslims" at? How come we never hear from them? Where's the outrage? What kinds of community service are all of these "good muslims" doing to prove that they're decent Americans? Ever seen a muslim run food pantry or soup kitchen? These people are being given the benefit of the doubt, without doing anything to prove themselves worthy. The bottom line with Islam, is that they sympathize with their fellow muslims no matter what they do. We're supposed to kiss their ass because they go to work and pay taxes? We cant afford to "hope" muslims that cant get their shit together in their own countries, are going to somehow similate into our society. I dont buy it. And i just love how the media is downplaying the Ft. Hood terrorist attack by telling us there are "thousands" of muslims serving in our armed forces. I dont buy that either. If they're talking about american black men who want to identify with anything anti-white-guy, so when they were asked what to put on their dog tags, they say "muslim" then i believe that. I'm sure the first muslims that entered Britain were real "moderate" too. Now that they are growing in numbers they have become more bold. Is that what we're going to do here? Sit around on our political correct asses and let them build more mosques and send money back home to fund our ruin? Islam didn't contribute anything to the building of this nation and dont get a free pass in my world. Let em have their own civil wars back home to prove to the world that they dont agree with terrorism. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[FBI: 10% of U.S. Mosques Preach Jihad]]></title>
<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pol/1462523339.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[<br>
 <br>
<br>
Imams preach jihad and extremism in 10 percent of the 2,000 mosques in the United States, the FBI estimates. <br>
<br>
That sums up the problem facing us as we ponder the meaning of Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s slayings of 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas. Given his association with a pro-al-Qaida imam in northern Virginia and his preoccupation with radical Islamic Web sites, it’s clear that the radical element of Islam influenced Hasan. <br>
<br>
On the other hand, those who condemn Muslims in general because of the actions of Hasan and others like him are engaging in prejudice that has no place in America. Indeed, such stereotyping sets back the war on terror, because we need moderate Muslims on our side. <br>
<br>
The problem is not the Quran, which is no more incendiary than some passages in the Bible. (Deuteronomy, for example, prescribes stoning to death for those who “served other gods and worshipped them.”) The problem is the radical element that uses the Quran as an excuse to engage in terrorism and the failure of many moderate Muslims to condemn the extremists. <br>

<br>
About a quarter of the Muslims in America ages 18 through 29 believe that suicide bombings can be justified, according to a Pew Research Center poll. Generating those attitudes are imams who preach jihad and hatred in American mosques and postings on the Internet, according to FBI counterterrorism officials interviewed for my book “The Terrorist Watch: Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack.” <br>
<br>
Saying he is being conservative, an FBI counterterrorism official told me in interviews for the book that 1 in 10 imams preach jihad. Before 9/11, the number of mosques where imams preached jihad was even greater than today. <br>
<br>
“Those who actively support extremist causes, say America is evil and deserves what it gets, and celebrate the death of soldiers, know they may come to our attention,” an FBI official says. “So they don’t do it as openly now.” <br>
<br>
Before 9/11, he says, “There was much more of that because all of it was considered by Justice Department guidelines to be purely protected speech. We do not have incitement laws in America, but once an imam facilitates someone else taking action, he has crossed the line into material support and becomes our business.” <br>
<br>
An example was Ali al-Timimi, a spiritual leader at a mosque in Northern Virginia who preached jihad and provided contact information for those who went to Afghanistan for training in terrorist camps. Al-Timimi is serving a life prison term. <br>
<br>
The FBI has outreach programs to try to develop sources in the Muslim community and solicit tips, but FBI agents have found little receptivity. They find that Muslims often are in denial about the fact that the terrorists who threaten the U.S. are Muslims. <br>
<br>
“I had this discussion with the director of a very prominent Muslim organization here in D.C.,” a frustrated counterterrorism agent says. “And he said, ‘Why are you guys always looking at the Muslim community?’” <br>
<br>
The agent began laughing. <br>
<br>
“Okay, you know what I’ll do?” the agent said. “I’ll start an Irish squad, or how about a Japanese squad? You want me to waste my time and your taxpayers' dollars going to look at the Irish? They’re not killing Americans. Right now, I’m going to put my money and my people in a place where the threat is.” <br>
<br>
The agent tells them to take a look at the cells that the FBI has rolled up in the United States. <br>
<br>
“I can name the home-grown cells, all of whom are Muslim, all of whom were seeking to murder Americans,” the agent says. “It’s not the Irish, it’s not the French, it’s not the Catholics, it’s not the Protestants, it’s the Muslims.” <br>
<br>
In response, Muslim groups have told him he is rough around the edges. <br>
<br>
“I’m not rough around the edges,” he tells them. “You’re just not used to straight talk.” <br>
<br>
They respond by getting angry at him. <br>
<br>
Although Muslims occasionally condemn al-Qaida, “Rarely do we have them coming to us and saying, ‘There are three guys in the community that we’re very concerned about,’” one agent says. “They want to fix it inside the community. They’re a closed group, a very, very closed group. It’s part of their culture that they want to settle the problem within their own communities. They’ve actually said that to us, which I then go crazy over.” <br>
<br>
On the one hand, “They don’t want anyone to know they have extremists in their community,” the agent says. “Well, beautiful. Except do you read the newspapers? Everyone already knows it. That horse has left the barn. So there’s a lot of talk about engagement, but realistically, we’ve got a long, long way to go.” <br>
<br>
At one meeting, a Muslim group suggested having a photo taken of its members with FBI Director Robert Mueller to show their community isn’t a bunch of terrorists and that they are partners in the war on terror. <br>
<br>
An agent replied, “Let me make a suggestion: When you bring to my attention real extremists who are here to plan and do something, who are here supporting terrorism, and I work that based on your information, then I promise you, I will have the director stand up on the stage with you.” <br>
<br>
To the agent’s amazement, the answer was: “That could never happen. We would lose our constituency. We could never admit to bringing someone to the FBI.” <br>
<br>
“Well, we’ve just defined the problem, haven’t we?” the agent told them. <br>
<br>
To be sure, some individual Muslims have brought leads to the FBI. That led to FBI cases in Lackawanna, N.Y.; Lodi, Calif.; and Atlanta. But the FBI has found that imams and other community leaders are reluctant to do that. <br>
<br>
If the news media filmed imams preaching hated of America in mosques that are public, the number of imams publicly espousing jihad would dwindle to close to zero. Until that happens, Americans must learn to distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys. <br>
<br>
“In recent years, U.S. soldiers have fought a common enemy on behalf of and often alongside Muslims in Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Somalia, and elsewhere,” the Wall Street Journal pointed out in an editorial. “The U.S. is fighting a sworn enemy today, just as in World War II American Germans, Italians and Japanese fought sworn U.S. enemies of the same race and religion. Many American Muslims will do the same if we stay focused on the real enemy, and show we have the will to do what’s necessary to find them and stop them.”<br>

 University and continuing Visiting Scholar at Stanford University's Ho <br>
over  Institution.*<br>
<br>
 **She is a member of the American Sociological Association and the <br>
 American Philosophical Association.** **<br>
 <br>
 **She has been a John M. Olin Foundation Faculty Fellow, and honored <br>
 as a Distinguished Alumni of the Year by the Nation al Association for <br>
 Equal Opportunity in Higher Education.** **<br>
 ** **<br>
 **In fall 1988 she was one of a select group of intellectuals who were <br>
 featured in Bill Moyer's television series, "A World of Ideas." The <br>
 transcript of her conversation with Moyers has been published in his <br>
 book, A World of Ideas.** **<br>
<br>
 **Dr. Wortham is author of "The Other Side of Racism: A Philosophical <br>
 Study of Black Race Consciousness" which analyzes how race <br>
 consciousness is transformed into political strategies and policy <br>
 issues.** **<br>
 <br>
 **She has published numerous articles on the implications of <br>
 individual rights for civil rights policy, and is currently writing a <br>
 book on theories of social and cultural marginality.**<br>
 <br>
 Recently, she has published articles on the significance of <br>
 multiculturalism and Afrocentricism in education, the politics of <br>
 victimization and the social and political impact of political <br>
 correctness. Shortly after an interview in 2004, she was awarded <br>
 tenure.** **<br>
<br>
The following article is by Anne Wortham<br>
 <br>
     **Fellow Americans,**<br>
<br>
 <br>
 ** Please know: I am Black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did <br>
 not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for <br>
 president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require <br>
 a Black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life <br>
 is worth living. I do not require a Black president to love the ideal <br>
 of America .**<br>
<br>
 **I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is <br>
 no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of <br>
 triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I <br>
 would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human <br>
 flourishing and survival - all that I know about the history of the <br>
 United States of America , all that I know about American race <br>
 relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician. I <br>
 would have to deny the nature of the "change" that Obama asserts has <br>
 come to America .**<br>
<br>
 **Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding <br>
 that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have <br>
 been on for over a century. I would have to pretend that individual <br>
 liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to <br>
 evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your <br>
 success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational <br>
 that 94 percent of the 12 million Blacks in this country voted for a <br>
 man because he looks like them (that Blacks are permitted to play the <br>
 race card), and that they were joined by self-declared "progressive" <br>
 whites who voted for him because he doesn't look like them..**<br>
<br>
 **I would have to wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind <br>
 of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts <br>
 in his administration - political intellectuals like my former <br>
 colleagues at the Harvard University 's Kennedy School of <br>
 Government.**<br>
<br>
 **I would have to believe that "fairness" is equivalent of justice. I <br>
 would have to believe that a man who asks me to "go forward in a new <br>
 spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice" is speaking in my <br>
 interest.. I would have to accept the premise of a man that economic <br>
 prosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believes <br>
 that he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I <br>
 would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the <br>
 masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the <br>
 generators of wealth.**<br>
<br>
 **Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the <br>
 scene of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in Grant Park, <br>
 Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would have to <br>
 wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits, <br>
 journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare that <br>
 capitalism is dead - and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan, <br>
 objected to their assumption that the particular version of the <br>
 anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own <br>
 version of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to <br>
 capitalism.**<br>
<br>
 **So you have made history, Americans. You and your children have <br>
 elected a Black man to the office of the president of the United <br>
 States , the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne <br>
 and Jane Fonda is over - and that Fonda won.  Eugene McCarthy and <br>
 George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the <br>
 Kennedys have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like. The <br>
 self-righteous welfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments <br>
 of satisfaction for having elected a Black person.**<br>
 <br>
 **So, toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and <br>
 90s bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, BlackAmerica. Shout your <br>
 glee Harvard, Princeton , Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have <br>
 elected not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a <br>
 Black man who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to - <br>
 Do Something! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.<br>
 But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and mine - what little <br>
 there is left - for the chance to feel good.** **<br>
 <br>
*There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness. God <br>
 Help Us all...*<br>
<br>
 "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who <br>
 are willing to work and give to those who would not."<br>
 Thomas Jefferson*<br>

<description><![CDATA[Why is everything with you people all about george bush? Listening to you, one would think the entire worlds problems began with him. HARDLY! And why do you assume that anyone on here with a conservative viewpoint must automatically be a bush supporter? Grow the fuck up guys, there are things going on out there that you have no fuckin idea about. Your selfishness is pathetic. You're so confident in your armchair philosophy about everything as long as it's not really affecting your personal space. I wonder how your viewpoint would be if your family is blown up someday while shopping at the mall by one of these muslim sacks of shit. Think it wont happen? That's not paranoia, it's going to happen. Just look at what's going on in Britain because of political correctness and socialism. We are on are on the same path. In fact we're going to fast track with this piece of shit administration. They openly call for the death of americans and anyone other than muslims on the streets of Britain and get away with it. Meanwhile, they ban a great american like michael savage from even entering the country! What's wrong with this picture folks? My advice is to try to stop acting like a pompous intellectual for a minute and get back to some good old fashion street smarts. ]]></description>

Get out of denial retard. Your new main man ain't doing shit. Take a look at the recent polls. He's on a downhill slide. True Americans aren't going to put up with you fools much longer.

<description><![CDATA[The recent gallop poll did indicate that 80 % of Americans were either very satisfied or satisfied with the quality of their own health care.<br>
<br>
Gallop poll - "Overall, 80% are satisfied with the quality of medical care available to them, including 39% who are very satisfied. Sixty-one percent are satisfied with the cost of their medical care, including 20% who are very satisfied."<br>
<br>

<br>
The (Cost) of health care was a major concern with a larger proportion of Americans. Of Americans who have private insurance that covers health care 42% said that cost was a major problem and and 37% said it was a minor problem. Of Americans who are covered by Medicare and Medicaid 40 % said that the cost of health care was a major problem and 27% said it was a minor problem.<br>

<description><![CDATA[Oh wow, you really got me, huh?  Just pretty much copied my post, but you changed Faux to MSNBC!!  Oh, damn, did you get me on that one!!!<br>
<br>
Just for your information, I get my news from several sources, and I don't believe anything that I can't research on my own.  Evidently, you are content to be spoonfed lies and misinformation, because it's so much easier than finding out for yourself that your leaders (O'Reilly, Hannity, et al,) want to keep you stupid and scared.  You are so accomodating......]]></description>

The only thing Obama has done in his waste of taxpayer money time that he has been in office is put us more in debt!!! The number one thing that Americans wanted was to see the ailing economy addressed, and all he has done is ignore the problem! Instead he got on the Crazy Bitch Pelosi Bandwagon and pushed a healthcare bill that nnobody wants. 80% of Americans are satisfied with our current healthcare system but they chose to make that as a priority over an ailing economy? It may work for you lazy faggots who like everything for free, but what about us people who actually work for a living?   ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Good post, and I agree with most of it. A little over the top with the marksmanship skillset though. I'm a little concerned with the "control" over our youth through TV and peer pressure. Our system is raising a future generation of dedicated consumers, overly sensitive to the false cycles of fad and style. You've got little kids who will only wear Nikes, Levi's, or whatever. And ugly point shoes are in this year (says who) but out the next. Parents need to be very careful today, their kids are inundated. I agree with the rest of your post, I think the neo-cons have always needed a boogyman to justify their need to hate, to control, to conquer. They are a warmongering species.  They are in terrible need of an excuse for their support of that moron, george jr, and in so doing, hope the rest of the country will either forgive or forget come next election. The sky-is-falling thing has worked well for them but they're kind of a one show pony, it's all they know. So let them jump up and down. We can expect them to continue to take every little world event and use it to illustrate we're on the cusp of Armageddon, that we desperately need their leadership to save the United States of America, oh yea, and the planet.  Fortunately, a whole new generation of voters came of age during the horror of the bush years, and the aging and out of touch neo-cons will have a tough time bullshitting the country again.]]></description>

<br>
Islamic Terror Attacks on American Soil<br>
<br>
 <br>
 <br>
We recently got taken to the mat by a polite, young Muslim living in the U.K. who took issue with our oft-repeated statement that no Muslim-American lost their life to vigilante violence following 9/11.  She provided us a list of six or seven candidates and, after whittling out the ones where the killer was unknown or in cases with mitigating circumstances such as “victim was sleeping with killer’s ex-girlfriend” (and we’re not making that up), we reached a shocking conclusion: <br>
<br>
We were wrong. <br>
<br>
There is one seemingly unambiguous case that occurred in Dallas, Texas where Waqar Hasan, a Muslim convenience storeowner, was gunned down by Mark Anthony Stroman four days after the 9/11 attacks.  Stroman claimed to have been motivated by anger from watching the towers fall.  He is not exactly your average American, however, even apart from the shooting.  For one thing, he is a white supremacist who carried a felony criminal record at the time of the attack.  He also went on to shoot two more people in the weeks that followed. <br>
<br>
Thankfully, an American jury sentenced Mark Stroman to death.  The same cannot be said of many Muslim terrorists such as Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, who not only have sanctuary in Muslim countries, but are often treated as heroes by devout followers of Muhammad.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, we acknowledge that our friend is correct and that there was at least one Muslim killed in an anti-Arab hate crime in the U.S. following the anti-American hate crime on 9/11.  For anyone keeping score: <br>
<br>
People killed by radical Muslims on 9/11: 2,996  <br>
Muslim-Americans killed "in revenge": 1 <br>
<br>
Of course, 9/11 was neither the first nor the last time that Muslims have killed Americans on U.S. soil in terror attacks.  In fact, since that day, Muslims have killed at least 52 people in 31 separate acts of terrorism in the United States (by the standards that Muslim-American groups set for hate crimes).  Perhaps more importantly, there have been quite a few planned mass murders of Americans by Islamic terrorists that were thwarted by the FBI, law enforcement and overseas intelligence operations both before and after 9/11.<br>
<br>
By contrast, Muslim-Americans do not appear to be in any special danger from murderous (non-Muslim) religious fanatics, even in a nation awash in firearms.  Identity groups, such as CAIR, whine incessantly about relatively trivial incidents while turning a blind eye to the horrible violence that is meted out daily in the name of their religion.  This distasteful petulance offers insight not only into the character of Islam, but also the impressive religious tolerance that Americans manage to maintain.<br>
<br>
For anyone wondering about the history of deadly Islamic terror on American soil in the last 35 years, here’s what we could find:<br>

<description><![CDATA[Many of your points are valid. My issue with religious zealotry has more to do with the hypocracy inevitably accompanying it. I hate hypocracy. I read to day the most common cash-for-clunkers trade were old  F-150's for new F-150's with very little mileage improvement in the swap. Seems our conservative/republicans are actively sucking at the gov't teet while deriding the program at the same time. Hypocracy. You say those most offended by organized religion are those who most fear it, I say that those most firmly convinced they're going to heaven tend not to be the ones I'd pick if I were the bossman upstairs. I also find it curious how little of their own religious history is known to far too many adherants. <br>
Emperor Constantine, who's that? The Bible is from the hand of God himself! <br>
Now, why did a Germanic Monk named Luther leave the Catholic Church? What is a religious scroll, and why were they sold, to whom, by whom?<br>
What's the difference between a Shiite and a Sunni? Do Muslims believe in Jesus, God, the Bible?<br>
I'll bet most of those describing themselves as religious would be stumped by these simple questions. They're ignorant. They follow their narrowly defined and prescribed path to their heaven. Yet, in all their ignorance, they're convinced they're right, how can that be?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Your assumption is laughable at best!!! This country has seen a few muslims do violence, a few christians do violence, a few atheists do violence, so what is your point??? Your prejudice is so transparent and due to your military/possibly Christian  brainwashing that I feel the need to LOL!!! My brother left the USMC a full bird, a totally whacked out Christian that spent his life/chosen career learning how to kill, (do you see any inconsistencies with the Christian beliefs that I grew up believing?)and has told me that the only solution to the current "Muslim insurrection" is to kill a few hundred MILLION of the morons. Were you at one of these high-level government meetings that posed this answer/solution???<br>
<br>
Don't get me wrong, we need a strong military. We don't necessarily need a military that can turn the planet into a cinder 40 mtimes over with it's nuclear might. I think once is enough. Fortunately for the world, there are people that run things that don't piss themselves over the thought that somebody else on the planet hates the fact that we enter their civilization and shit on everything that they learned as they grew up, and turn their fears into a belief that we have to kill all of them.<br>
<br>
Relax my friend...watch a little television...bone the old lady...life is good. I have ABSOLUTELY no doubt that there is no entity on this planet that can EVER conquer us and CONTROL us. I may be a liberal, but I grew up with guns in the household, I knew more about guns than probably anybody but someone that was career military, and I was on  a rifle team that placed 1st, 2nd, and 1st in 3 national competitions WHILE I WAS A TEENAGER. When I grew up, I got so tired of hitting stationary targets that I would place an apple on a string, set it swinging, and hit it 100% of the time IN A MIRROR while shooting over my shoulder with my .22 rifle! I would have my friends throw baseball sized dirt clods, and I would hit these  50% of the time while in flight.<br>
<br>
It is time for those that fear this potential takeover of America from ANY outside source to RELAX! I do not welcome the day, but I am 100% confident that if anybody thinks they can control this country from within that history will show their thoughts/realities to be the most stupid belief in the history of the planet.<br>

<description><![CDATA[I agree with your post.  Big Pharma will get billions on this idea!<br>
We need to legalize marijuana to give people a choice in pain medication.<br>
<br>
I believe that we should legalize all drugs because as we learned with prohibition, making something illegal drives <br>
up the costs creating more crime.  Think about it, if meth was legal it would be cheap and you wouldn't get <br>
meth-heads breaking into people's car to support their several hundred $ habit.<br>
<br>
If we could legalize drugs the cartels would go out of business]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Do you want to get rid of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program and replace it with a tax-payer funded Marinol program?<br>
<br>
Let's be conservative and say we get a great deal on Marinol at $10 per dose. Then, let's say your physician prescribes three doses daily.<br>
Let's also acknowledge the current existence of approximately 25,000 OMMP patients. (source: Oregon DHS/OMMP)<br>
<br>
$30.00 per day per patient X 365 days =  $10,950.00 per patient per year.<br>
<br>
$10,950.00 X 25,000 patients = <b>$2,737,500.00</b> (yep! The first digit represents millions and is very conservative as Marinol typically costs upward to $30 per dose)<br>
<br>
Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin is co-sponsoring Initiative 32 and intends to spend your money on this idea. He believes many current patients would drop out of the program and return to the illegal black-market. He could be right as Marinol is not a suitable substitute for medical cannabis. The cost of arrest, prosecution and incarceration would far exceed the cost of Marinol.<br>
<br>
Currently, the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program is self-funding that has provided a million dollar surplus to the state general fund and is positioned to do so again.<br>
<br>
I don't know about you but I do not want to needlessly give one more penny to the pharmaceutical industry. Prescription medication abuse is already a huge problem and there is no need to add another pill to the mix. Patients cannot overdose and die from ingesting or smoking marijuana. Let them be.<br>

The Radio PatriotNovember 10, 2009<br>
LTC ALLEN WEST – “NOW IS NOT A TIME FOR COWARDICE”<br>
<br>
<br>
Lt. Col. Allen West, candidate for Congress from Florida’s 22nd District.<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://radiopatriot.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/ltc-allen-west-now-is-not-a-time-for-cowardice/"  rel="nofollow">http://radiopatriot.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/ltc-allen-west-now-is-not-a-time-for-cowardice/</a><br>
<br>
This past Thursday 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood, 2002-2004. <br>
 <br>
<br>
My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing.<br>
<br>
A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our Warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our “Band of Brothers and Sisters” can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units.<br>
<br>
A military installation is supposed to be a place where our Warriors train for war, to serve and protect our Nation.<br>
<br>
On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism.<br>
<br>
There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice. Our Country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed a vile and determined enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America, an Army post.<br>
<br>
We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the stress of the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called; “pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable.<br>
<br>
This is not a “man caused disaster”. It is what it is, an Islamic jihadist attack.<br>
<br>
We have seen this before in 2003 when a SGT Hasan of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) threw hand grenades and opened fire into his Commanding Officer’s tent in Kuwait. We have seen the foiled attempt of Albanian Muslims who sought to attack Ft Dix, NJ. Recently we saw a young convert to Islam named Carlos Bledsoe travel to Yemen, receive terrorist training, and return to gun down two US Soldiers at a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station. We thwarted another Islamic terrorist plot in North Carolina which had US Marine Corps Base, Quantico as a target.<br>
<br>
What have we done with all these prevalent trends? Nothing.<br>
<br>
What we see are recalcitrant leaders who are refusing to confront the issue, Islamic terrorist infiltration into America, and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids.<br>
<br>
Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood, matter of fact he should have been Chaptered from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been proof positive.<br>
<br>
However, what we have is a typical liberal approach to find a victim, not the 13 and 30 Soldiers and Civilian, but rather the poor shooter. A shooter who we are told was a great American, who loved the Army and serving his Nation and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) stating that his actions had nothing to do with religious belief.<br>
<br>
We know that Major Hasan deliberately planned this episode; he did give away his possessions. He stood atop a table in the confined space of the Soldier Readiness Center shouting “Allahu Akhbar”, same chant as the 9-11 terrorists and those we fight against overseas in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of operation.<br>
<br>
No one in leadership seems willing to sound the alarm for the American people; they are therefore complicit in any future attacks. Our Congress should suspend the insidious action to vote on a preposterous and unconstitutional healthcare bill and resolve the issue of “protecting the American people”.<br>
<br>
The recent incidents in Dearborn Michigan, Boston Massachusetts, Dallas Texas, and Chicago Illinois should bear witness to the fact that we have an Islamic terrorism issue in America. And don’t have CAIR call me and try to issue a vanilla press statement; they are an illegitimate terrorist associated organization which should be disbanded.<br>
<br>
We have Saudi Arabia funding close to 80% of the mosques in the United States, one right here in South Florida, Pompano Beach. Are we building churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia? Are “Kaffirs” and “Infidels” allowed travel to Mecca?<br>
<br>
So much for peaceful coexistence.<br>
<br>
Saudi Arabia is sponsoring radical Imams who enter into our prisons and convert young men into a virulent Wahabbist ideology….one resulting in four individuals wanting to destroy synagogues in New York with plastic explosives. Thank God the explosives were dummy. They are sponsoring textbooks which present Islamic centric revisionist history in our schools.<br>
<br>
We must recognize that there is an urgent need to separate the theo-political radical Islamic ideology out of our American society. We must begin to demand surveillance of suspected Imams and mosques that are spreading hate and preaching the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic……that speech is not protected under First Amendment, it is sedition and if done by an American treason.<br>
<br>
There should not be some 30 Islamic terrorist training camps in America that has nothing to do with First Amendment, Freedom of Religion. The Saudis are not our friends and any American political figure who believes such is delusional.<br>
<br>
When tolerance becomes a one way street it certainly leads to cultural suicide. We are on that street. Liberals cannot be trusted to defend our Republic, because their sympathies obviously lie with their perceived victim, Major Nidal Malik Hasan.<br>
<br>
I make no apologies for these words, and anyone angered by them, please, go to Ft Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims. The tragedy at Ft Hood Texas did not have to happen. Consider now the feelings of those there and on every military installation in the world. Consider the feelings of the Warriors deployed into combat zones who now are concerned that their loved ones at home are in a combat zone.<br>
<br>
Ft Hood suffered an Islamic jihadist attack, stop the denial, and realize a simple point.<br>
<br>
The reality of your enemy must become your own.<br>
<br>
Steadfast and Loyal,<br>
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)<br>
<br>
NOTE: LTC West is a candidate for US Congress from Florida District 22 —-God help us, we need this man in Congress <a href="http://allenwestforcon"  rel="nofollow">http://allenwestforcon</a><br>

<description><![CDATA[Maybe the Prince of Lies Al Gore should consider the SUN. It only holds 1.2 million Earths in it for Gods sake!

<title><![CDATA[RE: Al Gore (Global Warming Hoax=Population Reduction)]]></title>
<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/pol/1460052535.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[<br>
Gore come from the Club of Rome clique, who in their 1991 Report, “The First Global Revolution” openly admitted how they were planning to exploit the contrived hoax of global warming in order to further their agenda.<br>
<br>
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.,” they wrote.<br>
<br>
They chose CO2 because it is essential for life on earth.  By demonizing CO2 with their shoddy science, they are essentially demonizing life on this planet.  That is the Eugenicist style of thinking.<br>
Al Gore will do nothing different in his personal life to lower his carbon footprint because he says that because he gives his own company money for his carbon indulgences.  This new system they are creating will benefit the major players around the world while the rest of us are reduced to 3rd world status and population reduction.<br>
<br>
President Obama’s top science and technology advisor John P. Holdren co-authored a 1977 book in which he advocated the formation of a “planetary regime” that would use a “global police force” to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children.<br>
<br>
Here are some of his other ideas from the book:<br>
- Forcibly and unknowingly sterilizing the entire population by adding infertility drugs to the nation’s water and food supply.<br>
<br>
- Legalizing “compulsory abortions,” ie forced abortions carried out against the will of the pregnant women, as is common place in Communist China where women who have already had one child and refuse to abort the second are kidnapped off the street by the authorities before a procedure is carried out to forcibly abort the baby.<br>
<br>
- Babies who are born out of wedlock or to teenage mothers to be forcibly taken away from their mother by the government and put up for adoption. Another proposed measure would force single mothers to demonstrate to the government that they can care for the child, effectively introducing licensing to have children.<br>
<br>
- Implementing a system of “involuntary birth control,” where both men and women would be mandated to have an infertility device implanted into their body at puberty and only have it removed temporarily if they received permission from the government to have a baby.<br>
<br>
- Permanently sterilizing people who the authorities deem have already had too many children or who have contributed to “general social deterioration”.<br>
<br>
- Formally passing a law that criminalizes having more than two children, similar to the one child policy in Communist China.<br>
<br>
- This would all be overseen by a transnational and centralized “planetary regime” that would utilize a “global police force” to enforce the measures outlined above. The “planetary regime” would also have the power to determine population levels for every country in the world.<br>
<br>
For some of you still in the Left VS Right paradigm, this book was also written by Bush's assistants.<br>
<br>
This 10 minute clip exposes Al Gore's phony science and under his plan for Global Government his carbon companies will be some of the select few who will be allowed to trade carbon.<br>

<description><![CDATA[Unlike the OP, I read everything that I can find on this subject. I made the mistake of going straight into the body without looking at the date first(which MANY posts here leave out). Within the first couple of paragraphs, I realized that I had read this before. Upon checking the date, I found it to be 3 1/2 years old. In the reality of GW, this is ancient, and so are its ridiculous conclusions. <br>
<br>
I have had my last 2 responses flagged, probably by the same propogandist that offered up this collection of misstatements, quotes taken without reference, and partial truths.<br>
<br>
The article proved its intent is not serious with the simple quote by a "professor" Carter (a first name may have been included earlier, but the piece was such a factually challenged piece of unverifiable references that I chose to not go back to look if the poor chap had a first name, which would allow verification of the "quotes") when he stated that Al Gore "is an embarassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propoganda crusade is mostly based on junk science".<br>
<br>
The anti-MMGW camp is a fraction of the "scientists" that have weighed in on the subject, and a huge percent of them have absolutely no credentials in the field but did manage to collect the $10,000 bounty that was offered up for any "scientist" that could pony up an opinion opposing MMGW. There can be no doubt that the only "propoganda campaign" that exists in this debate is from those that are continually posing up fringe and outdated articles.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You can hardly compare christianity to religious fanaticism around the world. So someone thinks you're "going to hell", who cares? You know what i mean? It's like "sticks and stones " to me. Christians are there if you want to join them, if you dont, then they'll pray for you. Hardly threatening. I'm not part of any religion, but i do like alot of what christians stand for. You dont see Islam providing food, clothes, and medicine around the globe do you? We already have the "Church and State" clause so i dont understand what liberal fanatics are all worried about. Nobody's going to force march them into church or take their bongs away! It's my opinion that the people that are the most offended by civilized religion (ie Going to Hell), are usually the ones that are subconciously most worried about it!  LOL   As far as war mongering goes, we go to war for all kinds of different reasons unknown to the general public. The world is full of hipocracy friend, and you cant educate and legislate it away. We're all fucked up, we're human!   LOL]]></description>

Global Warming: A Convenient Lie<br>
<br>
by Andrew Gavin Marshall<br>
<br>
	<br>
Global Research, March 15, 2007<br>
<br>
		<br>
      Recently, a documentary aired on the UK’s Channel 4, entitled “The Great Global Warming Swindle”, which challenged the prevailing political understanding that global warming is caused by man-made activity. The movie argues that it is in fact the sun that is responsible for the current changes in the Earth’s temperature and the film is riddled with the testimony of many scientists and climate experts, furthering a growing dissent to the man-made theory. After all, that’s all it is, a theory. As soon as people start to state that “the debate is over”, beware, because the fundamental basis of all sciences is that debate is never over, that questions must be asked and answered and issues raised in order for the science to be accurate. So what exactly are the arguments behind the Sun being the main cause of global warming?<br>
<br>
      First off, it is very important to address the fact that Earth is not the only planet to be experiencing climate change in our solar system currently. In fact, many astronomers have announced that Pluto has been experiencing global warming, and suggested that it is a seasonal event, just like how Earth’s seasons change as the various hemispheres alter their inclination to the Sun. We must remember that it is the Sun that determines our seasons, and thusly has a greater impact upon the climate than we could ever even try to achieve. In May of 2006, a report came forward revealing that a massive hurricane-like storm that occurred on Jupiter may be caused by climate change occurring on the planet, which is expected to raise its temperatures by 10 degrees. National Geographic News reported that a simultaneous rising in temperature on both Mars and Earth suggest that climate change is indeed a natural phenomenon as opposed to being man-made. The report further explains how NASA has reported that Mars’ carbon dioxide ice caps have been melting for a few years now. Sound familiar? An astronomical observatory in Russia declared that, “the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun”. They further point out that both Mars and Earth have, throughout their histories, experienced periodic ice ages as climate changes in a continuous fashion. NASA has also been observing massive storms on Saturn, which indicate a climate change occurring on that planet as well. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has also been recording massive climate changes on Neptune’s largest moon, Triton. Triton, whose surface was once made up of frozen nitrogen, is now turning into gas. The Associated Press has reported that satellites that measure the temperature of sunlight have been recording an increase in the sun’s temperature, meaning that the sun itself is warming up. Even the London Telegraph reported in 2004 that global warming was due to the sun being hotter than it has ever been in the past 1,000 years. They cited this information from research conducted by German and Swiss scientists who claim that it is increasing radiation from the sun that is resulting in our current climate change.<br>
<br>
      Claude Allegre, a leading French scientist, who was among the first scientists to try to warn people of the dangers of global warming 20 years ago, now believes that “increasing evidence indicates that most of the warming comes of natural phenomena”. Allegre said, “There is no basis for saying, as most do, that the "science is settled." He is convinced that global warming is a natural change and sees the threat of the ‘great dangers’ that it supposedly poses as being bloated and highly exaggerated. Also recently, the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus said, when discussing the recent ruling by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that global warming is man-made, “Global warming is a false myth and every serious person and scientist says so. It is not fair to refer to the U.N. panel. IPCC is not a scientific institution: it's a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavor. It's neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment.” And if you are about to ask why no politicians here seem to be saying this, Klaus offered up an answer, “Other top-level politicians do not express their global warming doubts because a whip of political correctness strangles their voice”. Nigel Calder, the former editor of New Scientist, wrote an article in the UK Sunday Times, in which he stated, “When politicians and journalists declare that the science of global warming is settled, they show a regrettable ignorance about how science works.” He further stated that, “Twenty years ago, climate research became politicised in favour of one particular hypothesis”. And in reference to how the media is representing those who dissent from the man-made theory he stated, “they often imagine that anyone who doubts the hypothesis of man-made global warming must be in the pay of the oil companies”, which is exactly what I believed up until I did my research. He also wrote, “Enthusiasm for the global-warming scare also ensures that heatwaves make headlines, while contrary symptoms, such as this winter’s billion-dollar loss of Californian crops to unusual frost, are relegated to the business pages”.<br>
<br>
      For those who saw Al Gore’s “documentary”, it was very convincing of its hypothesis that global warming is a man-made phenomenon that has the potential to kill us all and end humanity. After all, the film was filled with graphs and charts, so it must be true. Let’s just get something straight here, Al Gore is not a climatologist, meteorologist, astronomer, or scientist of any kind; he is a politician. And as we all know, politicians always tell the truth. However, as Al Gore’s popularity grows and with his recent winning of an Academy Award for his movie, the issue has spiraled into massive push for quick action and stifled debate, forcing many scientists to speak out and challenge the political status quo. A group of scientists recently stated that the research behind Al Gore’s film and in fact, the concept of greenhouse gases causing global warming, is “a sham”. They claim that in fact, there is very little evidence to prove that theory, and that the evidence actually points to an increase in solar activity being the cause of climate change. In Gore’s movie, he presented evidence that was found in the research done on ice core samples from Antarctica, which he claimed is proof for the theory of CO2 being the cause of rising temperatures. However, this group of scientists state that “warmer periods of the Earth's history came around 800 years before rises in carbon dioxide levels”, meaning that a rise in Carbon Dioxide follows a rise in temperature, rather than increasing temperature following rising CO2 emissions. And not only that, but it follows behind the rise in temperature by about 800 years. The group also mentions that, “after the Second World War, there was a huge surge in carbon dioxide emissions, yet global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940.” They also claim that the report given by the UN, which said it was backed by over 2,000 of the worlds leading scientists, “was a ‘sham’ given that this list included the names of scientists who disagreed with its findings.”<br>
<br>
      Timothy Ball, one of the first Canadian doctors in climatology, recently wrote an article addressing the issue of why no one seems to be listening to scientists who claim that global warming is NOT man-made. He starts by writing, “Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science”. He continues, “We are wasting time, energy and trillions of dollars while creating unnecessary fear and consternation over an issue with no scientific justification.” Then he mentions how Environment Canada is spending billions upon billions of dollars on “propaganda” which defends an “indefensible scientific position while at the same time closing weather stations and failing to meet legislated pollution targets.” Then Dr. Ball brings up a very interesting point that everyone should take into consideration, citing that 30 years ago, in the 1970s everyone was talking about “global cooling” and how it was the defining issue of our lives, our species, that our very survival depended on what we did it about it. Interesting, sounds like every Canadian politician. Ball continues to explain that climate change is occurring, but that it is because it is always occurring, it is a natural change that is a result of the changes in the Sun’s temperature. He explains that we are currently leaving what was known as a Little Ice Age and that the history of Earth is riddles with changes in the climate. That’s what climate does and is always doing, changing. Dr. Ball claims that “there is nothing unusual going on,” and that he “was as opposed to the threats of impending doom global cooling engendered as [he was] to the threats made about Global Warming.”<br>
<br>
      Dr. Timothy Ball later wrote, in commenting on the problems that arise for scientists who speak out, that, “Sadly, my experience is that universities are the most dogmatic and oppressive places in our society. This becomes progressively worse as they receive more and more funding from governments that demand a particular viewpoint.” He also mentions how he “was accused by Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki of being paid by oil companies.” He concludes in referencing others who have and continue to speak out against the prevailing myth of man-made global warming, such as author Michael Crichton, who’s book, ‘State of Fear’, explains the inaccurate science behind the man-made myth. Another prominent name is that of Richard Lindzen, an atmospheric physicist and a professor of meteorology at MIT, who often speaks out against the man-made theory, yet no one seems to be listening to him.<br>
<br>
      An article in the February 12th Washington Times discussed how skeptics of global warming are “treated like a pariah”. The article begins, “Scientists skeptical of climate-change theories say they are increasingly coming under attack -- treatment that may make other analysts less likely to present contrarian views about global warming.” He cites an example of this by mentioning how a climatologist in Oregon might be stripped of his position by the governor for speaking out against the origins of climate change. Most skeptics don’t claim that climate change is not occurring, they just disagree with what is causing it, and yet they are treated like traitors. A NASA funded study in 2003 found that, “Changes in the solar cycle -- and solar output -- are known to cause short-term climate change on Earth.”<br>
<br>
      In a storm of scientists speaking out against Al Gore’s movie, an Australian professor of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory has publicly stated, "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention." In response to the use of images in Gore’s movie of glaciers breaking off, Dr. Boris Winterhalter, a professor on marine geology and former marine researcher at the Geological Survey of Finland, said that, “The breaking glacier wall is a normally occurring phenomenon which is due to the normal advance of a glacier.” Makes sense, especially since history tells us that glaciers move, after all, that’s what helped form our valleys and reshaped mountain ranges at the end of the last ice age about 10,000 years ago. Maybe my memory isn’t very good, but I don’t think people were driving SUVs 10,000 years ago. Another clever use of images to manipulate facts that Gore has in his movie is that of a polar bear seemingly stranded on a piece of a broken off ice berg, stating that polar bears are becoming extinct because of global warming. However, there are a few things wrong with this assessment, first of all, that according to a paper published by University of Alaska professor Igor Polyakov, “the region of the Arctic where rising temperature is supposedly endangering polar bears showed fluctuations since 1940 but no overall temperature rise.” Secondly, if the polar bear is in such danger according to Al Gore, then why does a recent government survey in Canada show that they are not declining, but rather rising in numbers? Thirdly, the very idea of a polar bear “stranded” on a small block of ice is in itself misleading for Gore’s argument, as polar bears are excellent swimmers and according to Sea World, “They can swim for several hours at a time over long distances [and] they've been tracked swimming continuously for 100 km (62 mi.)” Professor Carter, speaking about Gore and his personal crusade, said, “The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science.” Even if Al Gore was telling the truth about the causes of global warming, or climate change, which most evidence points to the fact that he is not, but even if he was, he would still be a hypocrite. It was recently revealed that Al Gore doesn’t exactly practice what he preaches, such as what he said in his Academy Award acceptance speech, “People all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It's not a political issue; it's a moral issue.” Well, in that case, why is it that a recent study by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research found that one of Al Gore’s mansions uses 20 times the amount of electricity that the average American does. It was also reported that Al Gore consumes twice as much the electricity in one month that the average American consumes in one year. <br>
<br>
      In examining that there is more evidence to prove the basis for a conclusion that changes in climate are more related to an increase in the temperature of the Sun rather than influence of people, we must examine why efforts to expose this myth are stifled and those who speak out are attacked. In fact, there are reported cases of scientists who speak out against the man-made theory as having received death threats. There has even been talk of relating those who speak out against the currently held theory on global warming as being equal to those who deny the Holocaust. In a recent op-ed piece in the Boston Globe commenting on the report issued by the UN, Ellen Goodman wrote, “Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future.” This is a very disturbing comment, not only because there is reason to scientifically doubt the man-made theory, but also because this is a scathing attack on freedom of speech, the most vital and important of all rights and freedoms.<br>
<br>
      With the UN Panel’s judgment in, western politicians are quick to declare that the debate is over, and action must be taken immediately. What is this action that they are planning on taking? The Chancellor of the Exchequer in the UK, Gordon Brown, soon expected to be the next Prime Minister after Tony Blair steps down, has publicly called for a “new world order” to combat the threat of climate change. So let’s have a look at this New World Order that’s being implemented to combat the threat of global warming.  One major thing being pushed through with little, cancel that, no debate, is a UN recommendation that we impose “a global tax on greenhouse gas emissions”. Most people will hear this and think, “Good, polluters need to be taxed”. Well, this means people who drive cars will be taxed, because according to Al Gore, when you drive your car, you’re causing global warming. This is no joke, as an article in the UK’s Guardian Newspaper reported that, “The government is throwing its weight behind a revolutionary plan that would force motorists to pay Ł1.30 a mile to drive on Britain's busiest roads”. That is approximately $3.00 per mile. A study conducted by an expert in transportation and infrastructure found that, “a Birmingham commuter might end up paying about Ł1,500 a year for driving 19,000 miles.” That’s equal to about $3,000 per year. I don’t know about you, but I don’t know many people who can afford that. In the European Union, plans are being made to impose an increase of taxes on diesel. The European Commission recently proposed to “raise the minimum tax on commercial diesel fuel by nearly 20% over the next seven years”. This, they claim, is to help protect the environment because it will act as a deterrent for people to drive. This is just excellent news, because as anyone who has driven in the past two years knows, gas prices are just too low. Another concern arising out of the concept of taxing people for how far they drive is how it is done. According to the Transport Secretary in the UK, “Every vehicle would have a black box to allow a satellite system to track their journey”. This has been raising concerns in the UK of an increase in Big Brother technology and government programs. Proposals currently being made in Canada recommend that, “Canadians would pay an extra 10 cents per litre at the gas pumps”, mirroring plans in the European Union. Another important recent news item is that Toronto “Mayor David Miller said yesterday he would support ‘region-wide’ road tolls”, to combat climate change.<br>
<br>
      The European Union is also imposing a ban on conventional light bulbs, replacing them with energy-saving bulbs. That ban would fully be in effect within two years, forcing all 490 million citizens of the EU’s member states to switch from the current conventional lights they now have. However, some problems of this plan have been raised considering that the supposed energy-efficient light bulbs “have to be left on all the time, they're made from banned toxins and they won't work in half your household fittings. Yet Europe (and Gordon Brown) says 'green' lightbulbs must replace all our old ones.” They also are “up to 20 times more expensive” than conventional light bulbs. They also give off a much harsher light and do not produce a steady stream of light but rather just flicker 50 times a second. These special “efficient” light bulbs also need more ventilation than conventional bulbs, which means that they cannot be in an enclosed light fitting. I’m sure that this won’t inconvenience any of the 490 million who are being forced to switch. In Canada, talk is taking place of having a ban on conventional light bulbs being included in Stephen Harper’s clean air act. This discussion was recently brought about by the act of Australia taking moves to ban conventional light bulbs by the year 2010. As well as that, a lawmaker in California has introduced a bill to ban the selling of conventional bulbs by 2012, with a similar bill also being introduced in New Jersey. Royal Phillips Electronics, one of the leading corporations in producing light fixtures announced that they would stop selling conventional bulbs by 2016. This will result in a massive cost to the consumer, who is losing their free will in where they spend their money and how they choose to help the environment. Hoping to get by without buying new bulbs and sneak it by the government? Good luck. As a recent report pointed out in the UK, the government has very intrusive plans to make the UK the world’s first green economy. Part of this plan is that every home in the UK is to be ‘carbon neutral’ within 10 years, making every house updated to “green” standards. The government said they would provide the renovators, which has led many to fear that it is a method of spying on homeowners to make sure they go green. Blair Gibbs, a member of the Taxpayer’s Alliance and critic of the plan stated, “It's bad enough that politicians want to take so much of our money away in tax. For them also to intrude into our homes in order to have the ability to penalise us even further is simply unacceptable.”<br>
<br>
      I am not saying that it isn’t a good idea to take action to help the environment, but I ask you to consider this: if the majority of scientific data points to the fact that global warming is caused by the Sun, then how will a tax on carbon emissions help to stop it? How does us driving cars cause climate change on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune and Triton? Can Al Gore please fill me in on this? If CO2 increases as a RESULT of temperature increases, then how can we hope to accomplish anything by taxing emissions? That’s like saying we will prevent the process of humans ageing by dying their grey hairs. It’s not grey hair that causes people to age; it’s ageing that causes grey hair. And nothing that you do to your hair will have any affect on how long you live. Especially since ageing is a natural process that cannot be stopped and has always occurred and will always occur. Just like climate change.<br>
<br>
      It seems worrisome that politicians are all too eager to grab onto this man-made myth of global warming in order to make us afraid and guilty. Guilty enough to want to change it, and afraid enough to give up our freedoms and undergo massive financial expenses in order to do so. So this lie, being pushed by big money and big governments, is a convenient lie for those who want to exert control and collect money. However, it’s inconvenient for the mass amount of people who are already experiencing the problems of a widening wage-gap and fading middle class.<br>
<br>
      If the problems we are being presented are based on lies, then how do we expect to find any true solution to helping the environment? A Global Tax won’t clean up the oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez, which is still polluting waters in Alaska nearly 18 years after the spill occurred. A Global Tax won’t stop Shell from making the Niger Delta the most endangered Delta in the whole world. No, we have to first be realistic, mature, and have debate about the problems we are facing, and then, and only then, can we even hope to achieve any sort of solution. ]]></description>

No worries people will be standing up against this tyrannical government if this mandatory health insurance crap gets passed. Firstly it is unconstitutional. But if they somehow push it through and it become law. A lot of people will not allow th government to take away their freedom to choose how they spend their money. People will not roll over like the pussy liberals do and buy insurance. People will not pay the fines and people will fight back to the death if necessary if the gov tries to put them in jail for exercising their FREEDOM.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[State Department Socialism,<br>
Hilary and Obama<br>
<br>
<br>
I recently heard Rush Limbaugh suggest one reason that Hillary may have accepted the position at the head of the State Department might be the platform by which she would be able to undermine the Obama Presidency in preparation for her next Presidential bid. <br>
<br>
The State Department has been a source of leaks and policy disagreements that have served to undermine President Bush and Rush may have been speaking tongue-in-cheek but the relationship between The State Department and Mr. Obama will be one of collaboration. Mrs. Clinton has in effect been appointed President of our Shadow Government.<br>
<br>
My view of The State Department stems from the defeat that McCarthy suffered when attempting to expunge communists from the bureaucracy under FDR and Truman. While some anti-American activities and Communists were exposed, others survived beyond McCarthy and they have grown. Never forget the axiom: That which doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. They defeated McCarthy not because he was wrong but because they already had a very effective consolidation of power and influence. McCarthy has been pilloried for half a century as an example of what anyone else will face if they dare to take a stand. Socialism has incrementally infested every major American institution, from education to the media and now banking. It’s almost as if it were all part of a fifty year plan. McCarthy and Reagan were temporary setbacks but with the election of Barack Obama, we most certainly have the potential for the final nail in Capitalism’s coffin. All they need to do is to get rid of those pesky First and Second Amendments.<br>

<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pol/1459401078.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Obama's Birth Certificate Controversy<br>
<br>
<br>
More than one political pundit has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Barack Obama’s eligibility to be President as being nothing more than a desperate theory of the conspiratorial lunatic-fringe. I emphatically disagree. The birthplace lawsuit was initiated by prominent Democratic Attorney Philip J. Berg in the early days of the Democratic primary. A State Court dismissed the case in the eleventh hour only because it rejected Mr. Berg’s standing. The US Supreme Court will be revisiting the case and I wonder (just call me a right-wing lunatic!) if that will be before or after Mr. Obama packs it. <br>
<br>
We still have a Constitution that clearly enumerates the powers and limitations of government. It states that only a natural-born citizen can be President. It requires this for good reason - addressing the importance of natural loyalties that your heart can only give to your place of birth. <br>
<br>
What good is having a Constitution if the first time one of its provisions is challenged, we disregard it? Especially with respect to a President elect who has vowed to transform our nation by challenging other Constitutional provisions including our government’s enumerated powers. If we give up on the first provision without a fight, the second will fall much easier.<br>
<br>
We should be vigilant now more than ever and for more than one reason. Consider the probability of a scenario where a person, such as a Governor, has records under their control that prove Mr. Obama is not a natural born citizen. Imagine the power that person can wield. What if the information were shared with some partisan organization, shadow government or group of political adversaries in Washington? One might even imagine the courts using their control over access to that information to sway a President. <br>
<br>
Mr. Obama should be insistent upon clearing up this allegation for his own sake. The persistent doubt could hamper his transformational agenda (hmmm – maybe I should shut up).<br>

<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pol/1459396196.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT<br>
<br>
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. <br>
<br>
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. <br>
<br>
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! <br>
<br>
"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. <br>
<br>
If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE<br>

<title><![CDATA[Democrat or American]]></title>
<link>http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pol/1459392781.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Democrat or American<br>
<br>
Are you a Democrat or an American? <br>
When this country was created, it was by men of great vision and courage. They created: "a Republic, if you can keep it" as Ben Franklin very knowingly put it. He described what the founders created in this fashion because he knew the perils and pitfalls of maintaining a Republican form of government where the people are sovereign, where government is limited in its power by the Constitution. <br>
They chose not to create a Democracy, which was depicted as tyranny by the masses, or mob rule. A Democracy can be described this way: Three wolves and a sheep voting on dinner. <br>
If you are an American, you are also a Republican. It is, to put it in computer terminology, our "default setting". To be anything other than Republican requires one to reject the Constitution, which a great many Democrats do openly.<br>
Note that very recently, a Democrat from California sued to have the "Pledge of allegiance" declared unconstitutional: He won his case because he convinced a like-minded Judge that the words "under God" constituted establishment of religion. While it surely is unconstitutional to establish a specific religion, religion in general is not only welcome in our Republican form of government, it is absolutely essential. <br>
Democrats, like Socialists of the former Soviet Union, are home to Humanists, Statists and Atheists. The reason they oppose God in public is that they want citizens to believe that our rights are derived from the State. They want voters to believe that Democrats will be able to give you new rights like "free" health care. What they don't want voters to realize is, that in order to give one citizen a new "right", they will take that right away from another (usually in the form of a tax).<br>
The words in the pledge of allegiance to the flag, which we all have recited since we were young, also include: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag…and to the Republic for which it stands…" Maybe Democrats want the Pledge eliminated from our classrooms because they don't want our children to know that we are a Republic, and the Pledge would be a daily reminder of that inconvenient fact. <br>
Just after Sept 11th 2001, when the Republicans of this nation where reaffirming their patriotism by displaying the Flag, many prominent Liberals and Democrats proclaimed they would not be caught dead flying our Flag. One even went so far as to say that anyone who would take out the Pentagon had his vote. <br>
The Democratic Party is the source of most anti-American rhetoric. It started when communists and socialists began spreading their doctrine around the world early last century. They came to the United States where they could do so without recrimination. They found acceptance in the Democratic Party. Try reading 'Radical Son' by David Horowitz, a former leftist. <br>
Today, as Republicans attempt to make us safe from terrorists, Democrats and their clones in the press can be found obstructing those attempts. According to an article in the Sunday 10/6 Times Union by Jay Bookman entitled "Manifest Destiny", the war with Iraq is not about terrorism, Saddam Hussein or weapons of mass destruction. It is about the US becoming a global empire: "…the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the 'American Imperialists' that our enemies always claimed we were" (emphasis added). In other words; Liberal Democrats think we got what we deserved on 9-11, that we should get out of the Mid-East and change our "imperialist" ways if we want to avoid more terrorism. Bunk!<br>
The Democratic Party has had its run. Its policies have brought our nation to its knees. I know a lot of Democrats who are enrolled as such because their parents, friends or relatives are. Many don't know the basic difference between the parties and vote Democratic out of fear of being disloyal. If they were properly educated, and cared about how our country is run, they would see that the Conservative Republican way is the only way to peace and prosperity. But with our education system controlled by Democrats, we've had to endure the indoctrination of our young into the left-wing mindset.<br>
Sept 11th has awakened a great many Americans. They now know what it is to be a Patriot, and which Party exemplifies the American way. Now all they need to do is VOTE !<br>
Vote Conservative and Republican. Relegate the Liberal and Democratic parties to obscurity. Then register Republican in time to vote in the next Republican primary and get rid of the Liberal Republicans too. We need to restore respect for the Constitution of our Republic.<br>

<description><![CDATA[America: Republic or Democracy?<br>
<br>
<br>
by William P. Meyers<br>
<br>
Lately, from politicians, radio-talk show hosts, and other commentators, we have heard that we should forget about democracy, because the U.S.A. is a republic. But some questions are being posed by democracy advocates: What is a republic? What is a democracy? Should the United States be a mere republic, or a genuine democracy?<br>
<br>
Republicans and other democracy detractors point to the U.S. Constitution and bits of history, and say, "See, the Founding Fathers who wrote the Constitution gave us a Republic. They believed democracies were dangerous and unworkable."<br>
<br>
On that, they are partly right, but they fail to mention that democracies and republics overlap. They are not opposites. And they fail to account for the history of American government since 1788, much less the debates that took place in America prior to 1788, when the U.S. Constitution was substituted for the Articles of Confederation.<br>
<br>
Democracy means rule of the people. The two most common forms of democracy are direct democracy and representative democracy. In direct democracy everyone takes part in making a decision, as in a town meeting or a referendum. The specific rules may vary: perhaps everyone must agree, perhaps there must be consensus, perhaps a mere majority is required to make a decision. The other, better known form of democracy is a representative democracy. People elect representative to make decisions or laws. Again, specifics vary greatly.<br>
<br>
And, surprise, a representative democracy is a kind of republic. What distinguishes a republic is that it has an elected government. Representative democracies are, therefor, a kind of republic. Self-appointed governments such as monarchies, dictatorships, oligarchies, theocracies and juntas are not republics. However, this still allows for a wide spectrum. The classic is the Roman Republic, in which only a tiny percentage of citizens, members of the nobility, were allowed to vote for the Senators, who made the laws and also acted as Rome's supreme court. Most people would say that Rome was a Republic, but not a democracy, since it was very close to being an oligarchy, rule by the few. Although the Roman Republic was not a dictatorship (until Augustus Caesar grabbed power), it did not allow for rule of the people. In both theory and practice the Soviet Union, that late evil empire, was a republic (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) because the lawmakers were elected, if only by the Communist Party members.<br>
<br>
Beginning with the Constitution's adoption, America has been a Republic. But the dominant trend over the last two centuries has been to make it into a democracy as well, a representative democracy, also know as a democratic republic. True, the creation of the Constitution itself was partly a reaction against democracy. In states like Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, the situation was getting way too democratic for the monied aristocracy that had, since the American Revolution, refused to share power with ordinary men.<br>
<br>
The causes of the American Revolution were many, but for the monied class there were three principal aims. They sought self-government: that is, they sought to rule the colonies themselves, to further their own interests. They sought to protect the institution of slavery, which had been endangered by Lord Mansfield's ruling against it in the Sommersett case of 1772. And land speculators like George Washington sought to seize more Native American Indian land, which the British had outlawed.<br>
<br>
But to win the American Revolution this predatory elite needed help. Their own rhetoric about freedom and equality led to widespread demands for the right to vote: universal suffrage. In other words, the people began demanding democracy. Even the slaves (white and black alike) demanded to be freed and allowed to vote.<br>
<br>
After the British were defeated a centralized, national government was seen by George Washington and company not as a method of extending freedom and the right to vote, but as a way of keeping control in the hands of rich. They wrote several anti-democratic provisions into the U.S. Constitution. Slavery was institutionalized. The Senate was not to be elected directly by the people; rather Senators were to be appointed by state legislatures. The President was not to be directly elected by the voters, but elected through an electoral college. The Supreme Court was to be appointed. Only the House of Representatives was elected directly.<br>
<br>
More important to our democracy-versus-republic debate, the U.S. Constitution left the question of who could vote in elections to each individual state. In most states only white men who owned a certain amount of property could vote. So, on the whole, the first federal government that met in 1789 was a republic with only a fig-leaf of democratic representation. This is what today's commentators mean when they say America is a republic, not a democracy.<br>
<br>
Fortunately (for the democrats), the early federal government was not very powerful. In state after state it became easier for white males to qualify to vote. And slowly, decade after decade, our republic became a democratic republic.<br>
<br>
At the national level the major steps toward democracy can be marked by amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The Bill of Rights guaranteed limits to the power of the federal government. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery. The Fourteenth Amendment effectively extended the vote to all adult male citizens, including ex-slaves, by penalizing states that did not allow for universal male suffrage. The Fifteenth Amendment explicitly gave the right to vote to former slaves. After the Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments did not extend suffrage to women, a vigorous campaign for the vote was launched by women, who received the vote through the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.<br>
<br>
But the main Amendment that tipped the scales from the national government of the United States being a mere republic to being a true representative democracy was the often-overlooked Seventeenth Amendment, which took effect in 1913. Since 1913 the U.S. Senate has been elected directly by the voters, rather than being appointed by the state legislatures. That makes the national government democratic in form, as well as being a republic.<br>
<br>
There will always be anti-democratic forces in any society. The most blatantly undemocratic feature of U.S. government in the 20th century was the unconstitutional but systematic disenfranchisement of African-American and other non-white citizens. This came to an end in the 1950's and 1960's with a series of Supreme Court decisions against segregation laws, the passage of Civil Rights Acts, and the passage of the Twenty-Fourth Amendment outlawing poll taxes. We even lowered the voting age to 18 with the Twenty-Sixth Amendment in 1971.<br>
<br>
There are no longer any voter-qualification impediments to democracy in the United States. But many have noted that the will of the people has tended not to prevail, and that a majority of people eligible to vote are so discouraged that they do not vote. The main reason for this is the buying and selling of elections and politicians by the wealthier class of citizens and their special interest groups. A year or more before elections take place, the winner is decided by those who vote with dollars. But this is a defect in democracy, not a reason to abandon it. The answer is to cure the defect, not to attempt to destroy our representative democracy.<br>

You might be able to recruit a few blacks because they'll go along with anything anti-white guy. But with all the mexicans that keep coming over, good luck talking them into your bullshit religion.

<description><![CDATA[A Warning to all Americans <br>
<br>
I did google on this Commander and he is for real and did write this article. Hello America????????? Anyone home????? <br>
<br>
From Naval Aviator, Commander Jerry Wilson <br>
<br>
We lived in California during the winters of 2007 and 2008. We became addicted to Fox News and watched O'Reilly and Hannity and Colmes every night. When we got back home, we upgraded our cable to get Fox. I watched the Presidential campaign very closely. Initially because I thought the Democrats would nominate Hillary Clinton and then in astonishment when they chose an even more hard-left candidate. All of last year I told everyone I could that Obama was not a Democrat, he was a Marxist. He is far to the left of any European leader and even our far left party, the NDP. <br>
<br>
I read Saul Alinsky when I was in University. I studied him and his writing carefully. When Bill Ayers and his idiot wife were bombing and killing people at random in the Weather Underground. Weather Underground and the Black Panthers were closely allied. I read David Horowitz's account of changing from a Marxist to a conservative after seeing that the government was afraid to prosecute members of the Panthers for murdering his personal assistant. He suddenly understood the evil that Marxism really was. <br>
<br>
After the student radicals failed in creating a Marxist revolution in the United States by violent means, they embraced Alinsky. You would be wise to read "Rules for Radicals" because it outlines how Hillary and Obama planned to get into power, and what they intended to do when they got it. <br>
<br>
Socialism is not the correct descriptor for what Obama and the Democrats are doing. They are going to be much more far reaching than anything Sweden has ever been able to do. Obama is following Alinsky's plans, those set out in "Rules for Radicals" and his other writing. The Democrats are attempting to create one party rule in the U.S. and in achieving that, will create crisis after crisis by their own actions and use those crisis to nationalize the means of production in the U.S. You are in the middle of a communist revolution and few in the U.S. can actually see it for what it truly is. <br>
<br>
The U.S. . is now on the path of financial destruction. The Constitution has been shredded and individual human rights are being trampled. In less than 8 months. Obama has used a recession to take over the two largest industries in the U.S. He will debase the Dollar and is on the road to creating an incredible energy shortage that will allow him and Congress to take over the energy industry. <br>
<br>
But by and large I think that by the 2010 elections, the Democrats will have gerrymandered electoral districts to the point that it will be impossible for them to lose control of both houses of Congress. The incredible increase in the money supply is going to create Zimbabwe and Venezuela style inflation, and with it, controls on the currency and the amount of money that can be taken out of the country. <br>
<br>
I love America , I cannot believe how the ignorance of the American public has created a situation whereby they are going to lose their Republic and slip into an age of repression and tyranny. <br>
<br>
I may be nuts, but so far I have been 100% in my predictions of what Obama was going to do, because I merely had to look at "Rules for Radicals" to see what was coming next. <br>
<br>
I read Glenn Beck's book, "Common Sense" and in it re-read Thomas Paines pamphlet with the same name. I recommend the book. <br>
<br>
When the storm finally hits (and it will), those of you who supported the Obama administration will be affected as well. It won't just be us gun owners or Flat-Taxers, or Pro-Lifers that get hit. You'll be right there next to us. <br>
<br>
You all thought the Conservatives were nut cases. You know, all of us who believe in God, small government, the Second Amendment, etc. You thought you could just go back to sleep after the election was over. In your world, America will continue as before. You'll still have the same rights, the same nice house, the same big screen television. After all, your high school football team won and the other team lost - go team! Even if you have bothered to look up from the daily grind since Nov 4th, you dismissed everything that has occurred as "politics as usual-the same old stuff". <br>
<br>
In the end, it'll all be OK won't it? Not this time. <br>
<br>
There are a growing number of citizens in the US that are ready to fight to shut down the government's grab of personal freedom, it's blatant abuse of the constitution, and it's attempt to replace the American way of life with socialism. You have to listen carefully to hear them, but they are there. I won't start that fight, but when it goes down I will join it. <br>
<br>
As for you, why, you'll be shocked because you didn't see it coming. And eventually you'll be saddened when you see that we have truly lost the way of life with which you grew up. You'll be saddened that your children and grandchildren live in a socialist, government-controlled gulag where their every movement from cradle to grave is tracked by the government. But most of all, you'll be saddened by the death of friends and relatives who are brave enough to fight and die for something they believe in. <br>
<br>
You know, McCain wasn't much of a candidate. I'll give you that. He was the lesser of two evils for most of us. I don't blame you for not voting for him since, at the time, you didn't know what we all know now. But at least John McCain was an American. He was a supporter of the American way of life and he understood that you can't negotiate with terrorists. He understood and appreciated the sacrifice made by my father and other members of the Greatest Generation. <br>
<br>
Mark my words friends. All across America groups are forming. They are forming out of anger and out of desperation at the thought of losing America . They're not militia groups, terrorists as the Department of Homeland security would have you believe; they are Americans, loyal to the constitution. They are mothers and fathers and grandparents. They belong to groups like the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, the Peaceful Resistance, the Constitution Party, the Young Conservatives, the 9/12 Project, and Grassfire. Right now they are fragmented, each focused on their own cause. But sometime in the next two years, our government is going to do something really stupid and these groups will come together. Watch for it, wait for it-get ready. It will happen. <br>
<br>
When that event happens, whatever "it" is, our great country is going to plunge into chaos for a while. I pray to God that we make it through that time and emerge a stronger, smarter country. <br>
<br>

<description><![CDATA[This was written by Sherry Hackett, Buddy Hackett's widow........ Love you Mackey.<br>
<br>
<br>
"WE NOTICED"<br>
<br>
<br>
President Obama:<br>
<br>
Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.........<br>
<br>
During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not honoring our tradition.<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed." <br>
<br>
During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that  you intended to visit all 57 states. <br>
We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed." <br>
<br>
When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pile without leaning over.<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed." <br>
<br>
Every time you apologized to other countries for America  's position on an issue we have wondered why you don't share our  pride in this great country. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you have not defended us. In  fact, you insulted the British Crown beyond belief.<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed." <br>
<br>
When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America " and said  that 9/11 was " America 's chickens coming home to roost"  and you denied having heard recriminations of that nature, we  wondered how that could be. You later disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it was politically expedient to do so.<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed."<br>
<br>
When you announced that you would transform America ,  we wondered why. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for   America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now." Prior to your election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from Illinois and  from what we can glean from the records available, not a very  remarkable one.<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed." <br>
<br>
All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for  the positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the  majority of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or affection for this country and her  traditions.<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed."<br>
<br>
You are 9 months into your term and eve ry morning millions of Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance  reform package that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt  this nation.<br>
<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed."<br>
<br>
<br>
We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are  labeled "un-American","racist", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed to let you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem isolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right to speak out.<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed."<br>
<br>
On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11  was carried out because we are Americans. <br>
 <br>
And YES, "We noticed." <br>
<br>
There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could help unite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy this nation than the attack on 9/11. <br>
<br>
 <br>
<br>
You have failed us.<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed."<br>
<br>
September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day".  While we know that you don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as what it is...a disgrace. <br>
<br>
<br>
YES, "We noticed."<br>
<br>
<br>
You have made a mockery of  our Constitution and the office that you hold. You have  embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits  and policy.<br>
 <br>
YES, "We noticed.."<br>
<br>
<br>
We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from office.<br>
<br>
Take notice.<br>
 <br>
If you agree with this please pass it on.<br>

<description><![CDATA[Your post hit the nail on the head.  Get rid of dems and repbs.   Both parties have been taken over by the almighty corporation.   Our current system is one dollar = one vote (vote as much as you want through your favorite PAC).  I have been a registered voter for 35 years.   Lets take a look how the USA has changed thanks to corporate america:<br>
<br>
1)  Millions of jobs have been off shored in the name of profits<br>
2) Corporations used to provide long term employment.  Now it's a revolving door.<br>
3)  Corporations used to have defined contribution pension plans where they contributed.  Now you contribute with your 401(k)<br>
4) Some fool came up with the term "exempt emloyee" .  This now means they can work you for as many hours as they without paying overtime<br>
5) They have flooded our country with cheap illegal labor.  Couple that with #1 above.<br>
6) They have trashed our health insurance<br>
7) They poison our food<br>
8) They lie about why we are really at war (it IS all about oil folks).  Google afghan pipeline and read away.<br>
9) Used to be when we were at war, the soldiers were the cooks, laundry workers, truck drivers, etc.   Now it is outsourced to big corporations.  When Joe Blow joins, he goes to the front lines.<br>
10) They create regulations and rules that are intent on smashing small business<br>
<br>
With the current system, the country will be dead in a matter of years.   I can remember growing up in the '60's and 1970's.  There were tons of factory jobs that supported a great middle class.  People had more leisure time.  When you went to work, many days you worked less than 8 hours because there was an adequate number of employees to get the job done.  Work was fun and the word "stress" was unknown in the workplace.<br>
<br>
I cringe whenever I see a new baby born in this country.  There is absolutely nothing for them to look forward to from an economic standpoint.   The only way things will ever change is if we stop the democrat v. republican battle and kick out every congressman or woman, senator and president.  Then only elect candidates who have not taken corporate money.   ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It is truly interesting...to think that people have no recollection of our past since the first oil embargo in 1973. Watergate was barely underway, and Americans were waiting in gas lines. We were importing only 10% of our oil as compared to 90% now. Nixon ordered the speed limit reduced to 55 MPH on highways.<br>
<br>
Carter was elected for reasons similar to why Obama was elected. He created the department of energy. He created many tax credits to help us reduce our dependance on foreign oil. He installed solar collectors on the whitehouse for the hot water system, and many have said that if his plans were not abandoned, we would be energy self-sufficient about now. <br>
<br>
 My dad became a Reagan democrat when good old Ronny promised to eliminate the department of energy, and restore the 70 mile per hour speed limit. Once elected, he somehow forgot about both pledges, and promptly removed the solar hot water from the whitehouse. Tax credits were eliminated, and he began importing cocaine via military transport planes in violation of American law (See 60 minutes special regarding this subject) so he could fund the "Freedom Fighters" in Central America.<br>
<br>
Since King Ronny's brilliant abandonment of the principles behind the establishment of the Department of Energy, we have had 2 wars over oil and like I said earlier, we now import about 90% of our needs. We niow have the same Looney-Tune republicans fighting cost control of healthcare, which will certainly bankrupt is within 20 years if not addressed VERY SOON, and they are also thinking that manmade global warming is some kind of conspiracy to kill capitalism.<br>
<br>
The republicans are the real joke, and fortunately they have started theirselves down the road to extinction with their new uber-conservative image...keep it up you stupid motherfuckers. Your extinction will make it much easier for the thinkers in our society to fix the real problems of the world.<br>
<br>
I had no idea anybody could be so stupid as to think that we don't need an energy policy. Your "scenario" was kinda funny even though it has nothing to do with anything real.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I see alot of right wing/left wing B.S. in these postings. I have a question-does anyone know what a true right winger is? How about a left winger? I suspect not. For the record I consider myself to be a true centrist like the founding fathers of this country.  Now to the actual definitions: Left Wing = Ruler's law. This includes monarchies, oligarchies, communists and other socialists, ( also known as progressives) , two bit dictators, facists, emporers, etc. In other weords-TRYANTS! Right Wing = Every man a law unto himself( anarchy). Now the side effects. History is littered with the blood and bodies of the victims of left wingers. Anarchy is no better, since it breeds chaos and society will not tolerate chaos. The result of chaos is a boomerang to the hard left when someone steps in to " solve" societiey's problems. ( Always done at the expense of freedom.) Societies rarely, if ever regain liberty- individually or collectively. After all, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Those who gain power will be tempted to keep and increase it. I have a question-which major political party in America is right wing? Which is left wing ? A clue-left wingers will always want SOME government program to solve the problem. Give up ? Both major parties are Left wing-the Democrats are just further along than the Republicans. As someone who has been a registered voter for nearly 29 years , I have become absolutely convinced that we have to fire the republican/democrat oligarchy.We need to put government back in its LEGITIMATE place and restrict it to the duties specifically delegated under article 1, section 8 ,backed up by the 10th amendment of the U.S. Constitution.The true genius of those who gave thier lives, fortunes and sacred honor to found this country was best summarized by Samuel Adams and Thomas Jefferson.                                                                                                     Adams Said:" If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, then go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were ever our countryman."
<br>
Jefferson said : Speak to me not of good men or of good intentions, rather , bind all men from mischief by the chains of the Constitution. You can see, especially from the second statement I listed, that , after forming a Free Nation, they intended for the Constitution to be a big, heavy and extremely short chain on the neck of government.That made them true centrists, politically.If we wish to remain free we need to press those in Congress( opposite of progress) to cite the specific article of the Constitution which authorizes any legislation. The rules of both houses of congress require this, although it is largely ignored.  We, the People deserve better from a collection of mere public servants. Think about it. Educate yourselves. This increasing tyranny has been creeping up since at least 1913 .
<br>
Please- Do Not let anyone tell you what to think. read the Constitution, read the Federalist Papers. Read the Anti Federalist Papers. Read what the founders had to say about what they wanted for the Country.  More to come in the future.
<br>

Then this Fort Hood incident.<br>
<br>
Do we have any U.S. Soldiers of the Muslim Faith who have access to and the capability to set off a U.S. Military nuclear bomb?<br>
<br>
Of course our counterintelligence won’t see that one coming until it is too late, like 9/11.  Prudent job security?  Or just Orthodox PC?<br>
<br>
You can’t blame a Soldier of Faith:  He is simply doing his Job.  But the Bureaucrats never lose their jobs.  They simply get promotions. <br>
<br>
That sort of spinelessness is what makes a job possible, from the Inside out.  <br>
<br>
Yeah, 9/11 was an inside job, just like the next massacre will be.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I assume you will not think this is a joke.<br>
Lesson on how your government works, when unfettered:    <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
 <br>
 <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
 <br>
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night...” So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.<br>
<br>
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two<br>
people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do<br>
time studies.<br>
<br>
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and<br>
hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports..<br>
<br>
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So They<br>
created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer,<br>
Then hired two people.<br>
<br>
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"<br>
So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an<br>
Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal<br>
Secretary.<br>
<br>
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one<br>
Year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."<br>
<br>
So they laid off the night watchman.<br>
<br>
NOW slowly, let it sink in.<br>
<br>
Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.<br>
<br>
Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of<br>
the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.... during the Carter Administration?<br>
<br>
Anybody?<br>
<br>
Anything?<br>
<br>
No?<br>
<br>
Didn't think so!<br>
<br>
Bottom line. We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of<br>
an agency...the reason for which not one person who reads this can<br>
remember!<br>
<br>
Ready??<br>
It was very simple...and at the time, everybody thought it very<br>
appropriate.<br>
<br>
The Department of Energy was instituted on 8-04-1977.<br>
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.<br>
<br>
Hey, pretty efficient, huh???<br>
<br>
AND NOW IT'S 2009 -- 32 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY"<br>
DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. THEY HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES<br>
AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB THEY<br>
HAVE DONE! THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WAS I<br>
THINKING?"<br>
<br>
Ah, yes -- good ole bureaucracy.<br>
<br>
AND, NOW, WE ARE GOING TO TURN THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE<br>
AUTO INDUSTRY OVER TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT?<br>
HELLOOO! Anybody Home?<br>
 <br>

<description><![CDATA[it is funny to me that the Republicans never want a good debate, nothing but hatred for their fellow Americans..<br>
Why is this so? We are fighting a War People!!! It is stupid to call Mr. Obama a Muslim, he is not.He is a Christian.<br>
this Part of Craigslist is for Political doing not your obsessive hatred for anybody who does not agree with your stupid and childish rants<br>
about OUR President being a Muslim...who really gives a fuck you idiot.He would not have to be there if the last administration had not <br>
robbed all of us blind,yes the republicans also had their pockets emptied,,but seem to blame it on Obama??i do not get it?<br>
remember how we got into this mess?remember we had $$$ before George and Dick came to power? funny how that is all forgotten in the hatred that spews <br>
from the mouths of the uneducated.. stop watching Fox ,CNN and stop listening to that king of BS and hate(Rush Limbaugh),,and listen to world news,,you will be much better informed, and you might actually learn<br>
what is really going on in our society..And always remember that no one is making you live in this Great Nation of ours..if you do not like it, you know which way you can go...]]></description>

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News. <br>

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan tried to make contact with people linked to al Qaeda.It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said. <br>
<br>
Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said that he requested the CIA and other intelligence agencies brief the committee on what was known, if anything, about Hasan by the U.S. intelligence community, only to be refused. <br>
<br>
In response, Hoekstra issued a document preservation request to four intelligence agencies. The letter, dated November 7th, was sent to directors Dennis Blair (DNI), Robert Mueller (FBI), Lt. Gen Keith Alexander (NSA) and Leon Panetta (CIA). <br>
<br>
Hoekstra said he is "absolutely furious" that the house intel committee has been refused an intelligence briefing by the DNI or CIA on Hasan's attempt to reach out to al Qaeda, as first reported by ABC News. <br>
<br>
"This is a law enforcement investigation, in which other agencies—not the CIA—have the lead," CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said in a response to ABC News. " Any suggestion that the CIA refused to brief Congress is incorrect." <br>

'Cop Killer' Gun Used In Ft. Hood Shooting, Officials SaidWATCH: What Turned Major Into Alleged Killer?More from Brian Ross and the Investigative TeamInvestigators want to know if Hasan maintained contact with a radical mosque leader from Virginia, Anwar al Awlaki, who now lives in Yemen and runs a web site that promotes jihad around the world against the U.S. <br>
<br>
In a blog posting early Monday titled "Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing," Awlaki calls Hasan a "hero" and a "man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people." <br>
<br>
According to his site, Awlaki served as an imam in Denver, San Diego and Falls Church, Virginia. <br>
<br>
The Associated Press reported Sunday that Major Hasan attended the Falls Church mosque when Awlaki was there. <br>

The Telegraph of London reported that Awlaki had made contact with two of the 9/11 hijackers when he was in San Diego. <br>
<br>
He denied any knowledge of the hijacking plot and was never charged with any crime. After an intensive investigation by the FBI , Awlaki moved to Yemen. <br>
<br>
People who knew or worked with Hasan say he seemed to have gradually become more radical in his disapproval of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. <br>
<br>
On Sunday, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) called for an investigation into whether the Army missed signs as to whether Hasan was an Islamic extremist. <br>
<br>
"If Hasan was showing signs, saying to people that he had become an Islamist extremist, the U.S. Army has to have a zero tolerance," Lieberman told Fox News Sunday.<br>
