5.5 hours of leisure time

 

We are not really busy, busy, busy

Friday 14 October 2011
The Dutch spend an average of six hours a day on work, education and household tasks, 50 minutes below the European average, according to research by the government's socio-cultural advisory group SCP.
It is the first time the SCP has compared the way people in the Netherlands spend their day with those in 15 other EU countries.
The research also shows the Dutch have an average 5.5 hours of leisure time, 30 minutes more than other countries.
The figures dispel the popular myth that we are 'druk, druk, druk' (busy, busy, busy), the SCP says.
However, the Dutch do spend an average of 1.5 hours a day moving from place to place, 15 minutes longer than other countries. We also spend the longest on a bike - an average of 15 minutes a day.

One Evil Human

FROM STEVE KROFT (60 Minutes)

  This is very interesting material. Glen Beck has been developing
material to show all the ties that Soros has through the nation and
world along with his goals. This article is written by Steve Kroft
from 60 Minutes. It begins to piece together the rise of Obama and
his behavior in leading the nation along with many members of Congress
(in particular the Democrats, such as the election of Pelosi as the
minority leader in Congress).

Interesting read on George Soros

  If you have wondered where Obama came from and just how he quickly
moved from obscurity to President, or why the media is "selective" in
what we are told, here is the man who most probably put him there and
is responsible. He controls President Obama's every move. Think this
is absurd? Invest a few minutes and read this. You won't regret it.

  Who is Obama? Obama is a puppet and here is the explanation of the
man or demon that pulls his strings. It’s not by chance that Obama can
manipulate the world. I don't think he knows how to tie his shoe
laces. After reading this and Obama's reluctance to accept help on the
oil spill, you wonder if the spill is part of the plan to destroy the
US? "In history, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you
can bet someone planned it." / Franklin Delano Roosevelt /

  Who Is George Soros? He brought the market down in 2 days. Here is
what CBS' Mr. Steve Kroft's research has turned up. It's a bit of a
read, and it took 4 months to put it together. "The main obstacle to a
stable and just world order is the United States ."  / George Soros /

  George Soros is an evil man.  He's anti-God, anti-family,
anti-American, and anti-good." He killed and robbed his own Jewish
people. What we have in Soros, is a multi-billionaire atheist, with
skewed moral values, and a sociopath's lack of conscience. He
considers himself to be an elitist world class philosopher, despises
the American Way, and just loves to do social engineering and change
cultures.

  György Schwartz, better known to the world as George Soros, was born

August 12, 1930 in Hungary. Soros' father, Tivadar, was a fervent

practitioner of the Esperanto language invented in 1887, and designed

to be the first global language, free of any national identity. The

Schwartz's, who were non-practicing Jews, changed the family name to

Soros, in order to facilitate assimilation into the Gentile

population, as the Nazis spread into Hungary during the 1930s.



  When Hitler's henchman Adolf Eichmann arrived in Hungary , to

oversee the murder of that country's Jews, George Soros ended up with

a man whose job was confiscating property from the Jewish population.

Soros went with him on his rounds.



  Soros has repeatedly called 1944  "the best year of his life." 70%

of Mr. Soros's fellow Jews in Hungary, nearly a half-million human

beings, were annihilated in that year, yet he gives no sign that this

put any damper on his elation, either at the time or indeed in

retrospect" During an interview with "Sixty Minute's" Steve Kroft,

Soros was asked about  his "best year."



KROFT: My understanding is that  you went out with this protector of

yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.   SOROS: Yes.  Yes.



KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property

from your fellow Jews, friends and neighbors.   SOROS: Yes. That's

right.  Yes.



KROFT: I mean, that sounds like an experience that  would send lots of

people to the psychiatric couch for many, many, years. Was it

difficult?   SOROS: No, not at all. Not at all, I  rather enjoyed it.



KROFT: No feelings of  guilt?   SOROS: No, only feelings of absolute  power.



In his article, Muravchik describes how Soros has admitted to having

carried some rather "potent messianic fantasies with me from

childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me

in trouble." Be that as it may. After WWII, Soros attended the London

School of Economics, where he fell under the thrall of fellow atheist

and Hungarian, Karl Popper,  one of his professors. Popper was a

mentor to Soros until Popper's death in 1994. Two of Popper's most

influential teachings concerned  "the open society," and Fallibilism.



Fallibilism is the philosophical doctrine that all claims of knowledge

could, in principle, be mistaken. (Then again, I could be wrong about

that.)  The "open society" basically refers to a "test and evaluate"

approach to social engineering. Regarding "open society" Roy Childs

writes, "Since the Second World War, most of the Western democracies

have followed Popper's advice about piecemeal social engineering and

democratic social reform, and it has gotten them into a grand mess."



In 1956 Soros moved to New York City , where he worked on Wall Street,

and started amassing his fortune. He specialized in hedge funds and

currency speculation.  Soros is absolutely ruthless, amoral, and

clever in his business dealings, and quickly made his fortune. By the

1980s he was well on his way to becoming the global powerhouse that

he is today.



In an article Kyle-Anne Shiver wrote for "The American Thinker" she

says, "Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British

pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as

the man who broke the Bank of England . He broke it on the backs of

hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely

devalued and their life savings cut drastically, almost overnight."



  In 1994 Soros crowed in "The New Republic ," that "the former Soviet

Empire is now called the Soros Empire." The Russia-gate scandal in

1999, which almost collapsed the Russian economy, was labeled by Rep.

Jim Leach, then head of the House Banking Committee, to be "one of the

greatest social robberies in human history. "The "Soros Empire"

indeed. In 1997 Soros almost destroyed the economies of Thailand and

Malaysia .  At the time, Malaysia 's Prime Minister, Mahathir

Mohammad, called  Soros "a villain, and a moron." Thai activist Weng

Tojirakarn said, "We regard George Soros as a kind of Dracula. He

sucks the blood from the people."



The website Greek National Pride reports, "Soros was part of the full

court press that dismantled Yugoslavia and caused trouble in Georgia ,

Ukraine and Myanmar [Burma] Calling himself a philanthropist, Soros'

role is to tighten the ideological stranglehold of globalization and

the New World Order while promoting his own financial gain. He is

without conscience; a capitalist who functions with absolute

amorality."



France has upheld an earlier conviction against Soros, for felony

insider trading. Soros was fined 2.9 million dollars. Recently, his

native Hungary fined Soros 2.2 million dollars for "illegal market

manipulation." Elizabeth Crum writes that the Hungarian economy has

been in a state of transition as the country seeks to become more

financially stable and westernized. Soros deliberately driving down

the share price of its largest bank put Hungary 's economy into a

wicked tailspin, one from which it is still trying to recover.



My point here is that Soros is a planetary parasite. His grasp, greed,

and gluttony have a global reach.  But what about America ? Soros told

Australia's national newspaper "The Australian." "America , as the

centre of the globalised financial markets, was sucking up the

savings of the world. This is now over. The game is out," he said,

adding that the time has come for "a very serious adjustment" in

American's consumption habits.  He implied that he was the one with

the power to bring this about."



  Soros: "World financial crisis was "stimulating" and "in a way, the

culmination of my life's work."



  Obama has recently promised 10 billion of our tax dollars to Brazil,

in order to give them a leg-up in expanding their offshore oil

fields. Obama's largesse towards Brazil came shortly after his

political financial backer, George Soros, invested heavily in

Brazilian oil (Pet rob ras).



Tait Trussel writes, "The Pet rob ras loan may be a windfall for Soros

and Brazil , but it is a bad deal for the U. S. The American Petroleum

Institute estimates that oil exploration in the U S could create

160,000 new, well-paying jobs, as well as $1.7 trillion in revenues to

federal, state, and local governments, all while fostering greater

energy security and independence."



  A blog you might want to keep an eye on is SorosWatch. com. Their

mission: "This blog is dedicated to all who have suffered due to the

ruthless financial  pursuits of George Soros. Your stories are many

and varied, but the theme is the same: the destructive power of greed

without  conscience. We pledge to tirelessly watch Soros wherever he

goes and to print the truth in the hope that he will one day be made

to stop preying upon the world's poor, that justice will be served."



  Back to America. Soros has been actively working to destroy America

from the inside out for some years now. People have been warning us.

Two years ago, news sources reported that "Soros [is] an extremist who

wants open borders, a one-world foreign policy, legalized drugs,

euthanasia, and on and on. This is off-the-chart dangerous." In 1997

Rachel Ehrenfeld wrote, "Soros uses his philanthropy to change or more

accurately deconstruct the moral values and attitudes of the  Western

world, and particularly of the American people. His "open society" is

not about freedom; it is about license. His vision rejects the notion

of ordered liberty, in favor of a PROGRESSIVE ideology of rights and

entitlements."



  Perhaps the most important of these "whistle blowers" are David

Horowitz and Richard Poe. Their book "The Shadow Party" outlines in

detail how Soros hijacked the Democratic Party, and now owns it lock,

stock, and barrel. Soros has been packing the Democratic Party with

radicals, and ousting moderate Democrats for years. The Shadow Party

became the Shadow Government, which recently became the Obama

Administration.



  Discover The Networks.org  (another good source) writes, "By his

[Soros'] own admission, he  helped engineer coups in Slovakia ,

Croatia , Georgia , and  Yugoslavia. When Soros targets a country for

"regime change," he begins by creating a shadow government, a fully

formed government-in-exile, ready to assume power when the

opportunity arises. The Shadow Party he has built in America greatly

resembles those he has created in other  countries prior to

instigating a coup."



  November 2008 edition of the German magazine "Der Spiegel," in

which Soros gives his opinion on what the next POTUS (President of

the U. S.) should do after taking office. "I think we need a large

stimulus package." Soros thought that around 600 billion would be

about right. Soros also said that "I think Obama presents us a great

opportunity to finally deal with global warming and energy dependence.

The U. S. needs a cap and trade system with  auctioning of licenses

for emissions rights."



Although Soros doesn't (yet) own the Republican Party, like he does

the Democrats, make no mistake, his tentacles are spread throughout

the Republican Party as well.



  Soros is a partner in the Carlyle Group where he has invested more

than 100 million dollars. According to an article by "The Baltimore

Chronicle's" Alice Cherbonnier, the Carlye  Group is run by "a

veritable who's who of former Republican leaders," from CIA man Frank

Carlucci, to CIA head and ex-President George Bush, Sr.



In late 2006, Soros  bought about 2 million shares of Halliburton,

Dick Cheney's old stomping grounds. When the Democrats and Republicans

held their conventions in 2000, Soros held Shadow Party conventions in

the same cities, at the same time. In 2008, Soros donated

$5,000,000,000 ( that’s Five Billion ) to the Democratic National

Committee, DNC, to insure Obama's win and wins for many other Alinsky

trained Radical Rules Anti-American Socialist. George has been

contributing a $ billion plus to the DNC since Clinton came on the

scene.



Soros has dirtied both sides of the aisle, trust me. And if that

weren't  bad enough, he has long held connections with the CIA. And I

mustn't forget to mention  Soros' involvement with the MSM (Main

Stream Media), the  entertainment industry (e. g. he owns 2.6 million

shares of Time  Warner), and the various political advertising

organizations he  funnels millions to. In short, George Soros controls

or influences most of the MSM.  Little wonder they ignore the TEA

PARTY, Soro's NEMESIS.



  As Matthew Vadum writes, "The liberal

billionaire-turned-philanthropist has been buying up media properties

for years in order to drive home his message to the American public

that they are too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish, and too

stupid to decide for themselves how to run their own lives."



Richard Poe writes, "Soros' private philanthropy, totaling nearly $5

billion, continues undermining America 's traditional Western

values. His giving has provided funding of abortion rights, atheism,

drug legalization, sex education, euthanasia, feminism, gun control,

globalization, mass immigration, gay marriage and other radical

experiments in social engineering."



  Some of the many NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) that Soros

funds with his billions are: MoveOn.org, the Apollo Alliance , Media

Matters for America , the Tides Foundation, the ACLU, ACORN, PDIA

(Project on Death In America ), La Raza, and many more. For a more

complete list, with  brief descriptions of the NGOs, go to

DiscoverTheNetworks. org.



  Poe continues, "Through his global web of  Open Society Institutes

and Open Society Foundations, Soros has  spent 25 years recruiting,

training, indoctrinating and installing a network of loyal operatives

in 50 countries, placing them in positions of influence and power in

media, government, finance and academia."



Without Soros' money, would the Saul Alinsky's Chicago machine still

be rolling? Would SEIU, ACORN, and La Raza still be pursuing their

nefarious activities? Would Big Money and lobbyists still be

corrupting government? Would our college campuses still be retirement

homes for 1960s radicals?



  America stands at the brink of an abyss, and that fact is directly

attributable to Soros. Soros has vigorously, cleverly, and insidiously

planned the ruination of America and his puppet, Barack Obama is

leading the way.



The words of Patrick Henry are apropos: "Is life so dear, or peace so

sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid

it, almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for

me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

events to which humanity may look forward

 The Book of Isaiah-Blueprint of Our Time

by Avraham Gileadi Ph.D.

What sets the Book of Isaiah apart from all other prophetic writings is its all-inclusiveness in depicting an end-time scenario. More complete in its portrayal of that time than even apocalyptic writings such as Daniel and Revelation, it spells out a great confluence of events to which humanity may look forward. Using Israel's ancient history as an allegory of the end of the world, it predicts the future by drawing on events of the past. Only a prophet-poet with extraordinary literary skills could have predicted "the end" based on the world's beginnings (Isaiah 46:10). Only a visionary who saw both time periods could have crafted such a prophetic masterpiece.

While the Book of Isaiah's apocalyptic message accords with Jewish tradition, and while literary structures provide proof of its twofold applicability-Isaiah's day and the end of the world-it still requires a leap of faith to believe that this is indeed a handbook for our time. For one thing, it may mean discarding much or all of what we have been taught. Isaiah foresees this confusion when he speaks of the deaf "hearing" and the blind "seeing" the words of his book. Only then will "they who erred in spirit gain understanding and they who murmured accept instruction" (Isaiah 29:18, 24). Fortunately, not all of God's people fall in that category (Isaiah 66:2, 5).

It matters which God they worship

Mormonism and the presidency

Sandy Rios - Guest Columnist - 10/12/2011 10:55:00 AM

Does Mitt Romney, an elder and former missionary of the Mormon Church, believe he will one day be a god ... equal to Jesus ... ruling his own planet? Does he agree with Mormon teaching that Jesus and Satan are brothers? That America is the Promised Land where Jesus will return one day to rule from the Garden of Eden, which Mormons believe to be Jackson County, Missouri? And do American voters have the right to know this?

When Barack Obama was running for president, he assured us he was a Christian. Pastor Rick Warren brought Candidate Obama to his mega-church and questioned him before a national audience. Obama's answers seemed to satisfy and with Warren's blessing, he proceeded to campaign. Never mind he sat for 20 years under a pastor who fumed Christian apostasy. Dr. Jeremiah Wright preached anti-Semitism, embraced homosexuality and abortion, and practiced open promiscuity. Obama and his family were mentored by Pastor Wright, but Obama said he was a Christian and that, in the minds of those who wanted to support him, made it so.

Almost three years into his presidency we see that those very anti-Christian teachings of Pastor Wright have made their way into policy. President Obama has suspended enforcement of the Defense of Marriage Act and forcefully secured open homosexuality in the military. Against their protests, the Defense Department has ordered Christian chaplains to perform same-sex marriages in military chapels. Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, has a champion in the White House; and Israel, having been strategically undermined by this president, is in a fight for its life.

Do a presidential candidate's core religious beliefs have any bearing on his ability to perform his duties? Rather than embrace the Judeo-Christian ethic of hard work and personal responsibility, the current president incites envy between classes. Rather than speaking truth, he has embraced dishonesty to implement "hope and change."

If Christianity means anything to a person, it results in transformation of their character to the character of the central figure of Christianity, Jesus Christ. One can say one is an apple tree, but if fall comes and there are no apples, it might not be so. Are core beliefs of presidential candidates important or not? And does the voting public have a right to know what they are?

When the Founding Fathers established "no religious test" in Article VI they were precluding literal religious tests commonly used by the colonies to ascertain Christian orthodoxy among would-be local candidates. There would not be a national church, but there were state churches, and the denominations of those states wanted leaders to be faithful to those particular teachings. The Founders did not want federal office seekers to have to pass such tests in order to serve, but they never intended to infer it was of no concern to voters what a potential public servant's deeply held views were in order to inform their vote.

So now again come questions about Mormonism and Mitt Romney. Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, declared in an interview after introducing Governor Rick Perry at the Values Voter Summit that Mormonism is a cult.

To my knowledge there have been no follow-up questions to Dr. Jeffress to ask why he believes that. But there has been a quick rush to discredit him for saying it and another one to demand other hapless Republicans declare or defend what he said. No one seems to have asked Mitt Romney what he actually believes that might be of concern.

Evangelicals have not been spared this courtesy. Byron York of the Washington Examiner asked Michele Bachmann during the FOX presidential debate if, as an evangelical, she believed she should submit to her husband. Rick Perry was asked by Brian Williams if he could sleep at night embracing the death penalty. Others have been asked if they thought mothers who aborted their babies should be prosecuted. Herman Cain was asked if he would appoint a Muslim to his cabinet. All of these go to the core of deeply held beliefs. It is at the very least instructive to hear their answers.

But, of course, pundits and questioners are not interested in deeply held beliefs, but entrapment. They play a dangerous game out of their own theological ignorance. It DOES matter what a person believes who runs for the office of President of the United States. It might not matter what they choose as a religious diet ... whether they bow or kneel ... or conform to certain rituals, but what they truly believe truly matters and has an effect on public policy.

It matters which God they worship. Modern American culture would like to persuade us all faiths are equal ... all systems of belief basically the same, but in our rational minds, with the advent of radical Islam to our shores, we know inherently that isn't true.

Everyone in this country has the right to worship the way he or she chooses ... freely, but if they are running to be leader of us all, it does indeed matter what they believe and we as citizens have a right to know.

Why should a Christian theologian be ridiculed for telling us what he knows from his studies? Why should Herman Cain or Michele Bachmann or Rick Perry be expected to explain it? Why don't pundits, if they really care to know, ask intelligent questions to help us all learn what is true?

Because conservatives want, at any cost, to beat Barack Obama in 2012 and some think Mitt Romney can beat him. Questions about Obama's faith were useful to them in '08, but questions about Romney's now are to be dismissed. They would rather diminish and humiliate Dr. Jeffress than allow the inconvenient teachings of Mormonism to surface.

Mitt Romney is free to practice Mormonism. And he is free to run for President of the United States. But he should not be free from answering questions about what he actually believes.

Once when we know that, we will be free to embrace or reject him based on truth, not obfuscation

We the people are coming

Did you notice who Obama threatened?

 

From now thru November 2012 this should be required weekly or at least monthly, reading ? BY ALL WHO VOTE!!!


Did you notice who Obama threatened when he wasn't getting his way on raising the debt ceiling?

He threatened to not pay: Social Security Retirees, Military Retirees, Social Security disability and Federal Retirees.

Now.. Let this sink in really good -

He did not threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens

He did not threatened to take frivolous benefits such as Internet access away from violent inmates

He did not offer to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired

He did not offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting around

He did not threaten to not pay the senators and representatives or any of their staff

He did not threaten to take benefits away from welfare recipients

He did not threaten the food stamp programs

He did not threaten to not pay foreign aid

He did not threaten to cut back on anything that involves his base voters

The list could go on and on. He is in full political re-election mode!

Why are we allowing this person to destroy this wonderful country with his selfishness and his lies?

His type of change is killing our country. He needs to be stopped and only our votes can stop him.

Do not forget about his tactics when it's election time.

Islam, an ideologically-based supremacist mindset

Hertz suspends Muslim shuttle drivers


Dear 

Once again we witness a group of Muslims demanding special accommodations not afforded to anyone else.

In the MSNBC story below (highlights added), we read that Hertz suspended Muslim shuttle drivers who took time off work to pray but did not clock out when doing so. (Not all Muslim shuttle drivers refused to clock out and those who did clock out were not suspended.)

Clocking out is a perfectly reasonable requirement—in spite of what a union official said. The union official said requiring the Muslim drivers to clock out to pray “is like having workers clock in and out for smoke breaks or bathroom breaks.”

Uh, no it isn’t.

In case you missed it, here’s another example of Muslims demanding special treatment. This time, it was at a New York theme park in August, where Muslim women were told that safety rules required they not wear headscarves on certain rides.

Again, sounds perfectly reasonable to us—but not to some of the Muslim women. A brawl erupted.

Some foolishly and incorrectly called this safety requirement further evidence of “Islamophobia.” Would those people be willing to pay the legal costs incurred by the park if a Muslim woman got strangled by her headscarf on a ride and then her family sued the park for not protecting her safety? Of course they wouldn’t.

A central element of radical Islam is an ideologically-based supremacist mindset that demands that societies accommodate them, rather than their assimilating into their host societies. This also reflects sharia law’s requirement that human laws must always be subordinate to Islamic law.

Muslim drivers suspended over praying time

The rental car company has suspended 34 drivers in Seattle, Wash., for praying on the job without clocking out.

cut the royal family's basic allowance

Queen should pay tax, say MPs

Tuesday 11 October 2011
The royal family will have to pay tax, pay rent on their palaces and lose their right to free air travel if proposals from the Labour party get majority support in parliament.
The royal family budget is set to be discussed today and a majority of MPs back ending the queen's tax free status, according to Tuesday's Volkskrant.
'Everyone has to tighten their belts and that includes the highest in the land,' said Labour MP Jeroen Recourt.

Clarity
Recourt also wants more clarity on the royal family's spending. 'The budget may have been modernised but there are still many hidden elements,' he said. 'I want that to be clearer.'
In particular, Recourt is concerned about the blurring of the line between the family's public role and private spending.
The MP is not calling for a reduction in the queen, prince Willem-Alexander and princess Maxima's annual allowances. 'A queen should not have to make a state visit in dresses from [high-street retailer] H&M,' he said.
Spending cuts
However, according to the Telegraaf, a majority of VVD MPs want the government to cut the royal family's basic allowance - unchanged next year at €7.2m. The party is set to urge the prime minister to cut the royals' budget from 2013.
There is considerable pressure from parliament for a change in the royal family's role. The queen, for example, is officially head of the government and is central in the formation of new coalitions.
A survey for Nos television by Synovate found that 75% of the Dutch do not want the role of the monarchy to be purely ceremonial and two-thirds think Willem-Alexander should modernise the institution when he takes over from his mother.

it is time for Christians to sound the alarm

Vandy professor: 'Nothing is safe anymore'

Bob Kellogg - OneNewsNow - 10/11/2011 4:05:00 AM

A political science professor at Vanderbilt University says a new campus policy that restricts Christian groups' freedoms should serve as a wake-up call to all Americans.

According to Dr. Carol Swain, the Nashville-based university has instituted a policy that forbids religious organizations on campus from requiring their leaders to adhere to the beliefs and doctrines held by the group. Officials have decided that five on-campus Christian groups are in violation of the school's non-discrimination policy. So, the Christian Legal Society, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Graduate Christian Fellowship, the fraternity Beta Upsilon Chi, and sorority Sigma Phi Lambda have been placed on "provisional status" and risk being shut down. Dr. Swain says that is likely a sign of a bigger effort.

"I believe that there's a move afoot … to secularize the campus religion so that you end up with some feel-good group that … cannot say anything negative that might hurt someone else's feelings," she warns.

So, the political science professor, who recently wrote a book titled Be the People: A Call to Reclaim America's Faith and Promise, says  and stop that attempt.

"I feel that it's very much a time for Americans to wake up, and I believe that some of us are not even aware that little by little, secularism and atheists have chipped away at things that we have pretty much taken for granted," Swain laments. "It's like nothing is safe anymore."

Reverse racism

Reverse racism

Thomas Sowell - Syndicated Columnist - 10/11/2011 8:50:00 AM

Among those who have been disappointed by President Barack Obama, none is likely to end up so painfully disappointed as those who saw his election as being, in itself and in its consequences, a movement toward a "post-racial society."

Like so many other expectations that so many people projected onto this little-known man who suddenly burst onto the political scene, the expectation of movement toward a post-racial society had no speck of hard evidence behind it -- and all too many ignored indications of the very opposite, including his two decades of association with the egregious Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Those people of good will who want to replace the racism of the past with a post-racial society have too often overlooked the fact that there are others who instead want to put racism under new management, to have reverse discrimination as racial payback for past injustices.

Attorney General Eric Holder became a key figure epitomizing the view that government's role in racial matters was not to be an impartial dispenser of equal justice for all, but to be a racial partisan and an organ of racial payback. He has been too politically savvy to say that in so many words, but his actions have spoken far louder than any words.

The case that first gave the general public a glimpse of Attorney General Holder's views and values was one in which young black thugs outside a voting site in Philadelphia were televised intimidating white voters. When this episode was broadcast, it produced public outrage.

Although the Department of Justice's prosecution of these thugs began in the last days of the Bush administration, and the defendants had offered no legal defense, the case was dropped by the Justice Department after Eric Holder took over. One of the lawyers who were prosecuting that case resigned in protest.

That lawyer -- J. Christian Adams -- has now written a book, titled Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department. It is a thought-provoking book and a shocking book in what it reveals about the inner workings of the Department of Justice's civil rights division.

Bad as the Justice Department's decision was to drop that particular case, which it had already won in court, this book makes painfully clear that this was just the proverbial tip of the iceberg.

Despite the efforts of some in the media and in politics to depict the voter intimidation in Philadelphia as just an isolated incident involving a few thugs at one voting place, former U.S. Attorney Adams shows that these thugs were in fact part of a nationwide organization doing similar things elsewhere.

Moreover, the civil rights division of the Justice Department has turned the same blind eye to similar voter intimidation and corruption of the voting process by other people and other organizations in other cities and states -- so long as those being victimized were white and the victimizers were black.

This is all spelled out in detail, naming names and naming places, not only among those in the country at large, but also among those officials of the Justice Department who turned its role of protecting the civil rights of all Americans into a policy of racial partisanship and racial payback.

The widespread, organized and systematic corruption of the voting process revealed by the author of Injustice is on a scale that can swing not only local but national elections, including the 2012 elections. The Department of Justice under Attorney General Eric Holder has not only turned a blind eye to blatant evidence of voter fraud, it has actively suppressed those U.S. attorneys in its own ranks who have tried to stop that fraud.

Even in counties where the number of votes cast exceeds the number of people legally entitled to vote, Eric Holder's Justice Department sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil -- if the end result is the election of black Democrats. It has become the mirror image of the old Jim Crow South.

This is an enormously eye-opening book which makes painfully clear that, where racial issues are concerned, the Department of Justice has become the Department of Payback. A post-racial society is the last thing that Holder and Obama are pursuing.

Union bosses enjoy special privileges

Once again, it's all about power.

Big Labor has seized on the so-called "Occupy Wall Street" protests to push for more power over American workers and the economy.

"The challenge is, how do you transfer protest into power?" asked one Communications Workers of America (CWA) union boss, sensing an opportunity to turn up class warfare against job providers and force more workers into dues-paying ranks.

You see, despite the early media reports, "Occupy Wall Street" isn't just a reaction against the bank bailouts.

It's looking more and more like yet another excuse to demand bigger government, more spending, and higher taxes.
No wonder Big Labor is so eager to bus in protestors and subsidize the rallies -- all paid for by forced dues.

For instance, union officials are using the protests as the next phase in their corporate campaign against Verizon.

You may remember the recent ugly strike -- with hundreds of reports of sabotage and vandalism. Phone lines were cut, denying service to Verizon customers. Independent workers were subjected to harassment and even violence.

Now CWA union officials and "Occupiers" are working together on a boycott against Verizon products and services until Verizon gives in to the union hierarchy's demands.

Meanwhile, one widely circulated list of Occupiers' demands includes the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.

As you may recall, that legislation would eliminate the secret ballot in workplace unionization drives and open workers up to harassment and intimidation by aggressive union organizers.

If the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters were truly concerned with special privileges and bailouts for a select few, they'd look no further than at their new allies at Big Labor.

Big Labor has received its own bailouts and sweetheart deals courtesy of the Obama Administration. The auto bailout, ObamaCare, and so-called "stimulus" all lined union-boss coffers.

Union bosses enjoy special privileges afforded to no other Americans, including the ability to seize dues or "fees" from unwilling workers and exemption from federal prosecution for acts of violence committed in the so-called "pursuit of legitimate union objectives."

Big Labor's special privileges could prove to be even more destructive should the "Occupy Wall Street" protests turn violent.

Protest, of course, is a fundamental exercise of First Amendment rights to speech and association.

Let us not forget that compulsory unionism violates those very same principles.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

House owners need help with long planning procedures: ombudsman

Monday 10 October 2011
Infrastructure minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen should do something to help house owners who cannot sell their homes because of government plans, national ombudsman Brenninkmeijer told tv news programme Brandpunt on Sunday.
This is about house owners who are affected by plans for a bridge, a railway line or a road and who spend years wondering if the plan will go ahead, Brenninkmeijer said. In the meantime, they cannot sell their house.
Some planning procedures are 'improbably long' and the government does not take house owners into account, he said.

'The government waltzes over people and sometimes leaves them in uncertainty for twenty years. It's the arrogance of power and it should stop,' he told the programme.© DutchNews.nl

Readers' comments
it's not just home owners that would enjoy some long-term stability in planning.
The successive governments have mucked around with the various tax breaks for years now. Childcare has been reworked numerous times, and having a child is a bit of a long term commitment, it's not like you can dispose of them when times are tough.
It is almost impossible to plan any major life change (children, house purchase, etc.) as from year to year you never know how much income will be left after the tax man engorges himself at the bruto trough.

Is Obama Stupid

Is Obama Stupid and Clueless or What?

Over the weekend, President Barack Hussein Obama publicly challenged Republicans to explain to him and the nation why they oppose his jobs bill.
Ever since Obama first presented his jobs package, Republicans have been telling the President, Democrats and the American people why they are opposed to the plan.
They have repeatedly said they are against paying for the jobs plan by increasing the taxes of the wealthy.
They have also stated that they are against the temporary nature of the employer tax incentives.
They are also against the plan because they believe as do many analysts believe that this massive stimulus plan will not create nearly as many jobs as the President predicts.  Some analysts have figured out that Obama’s plan will cost taxpayers over $230,000 per job created.House Republicans have passed a dozen bills that they believe would help create jobs, but Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats have refused to even look at eleven of them.  Perhaps had they actually taken a look at the various plans presented by the Republicans and reported them to the President, he may have a clue as to what they are saying.
Lastly, House Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor wrote President Obama a letter on September 6 outlining their objections to the jobs plan and presenting their recommendations to him.
So a month later, Obama stands in front of a crowd and reveals his stupidity and cluelessness by challenging the Republicans to state their objections to his jobs plan when they’ve been doing it for the past month anyway.

Doctor's talking . . .Worth reading

Subject: Fw: Doctor's talking . . .Worth reading

 

 

 

A doctor from Israel says: "In Israel the medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's testicles; we put them into another man, and in 6 weeks he is looking for work."  The German doctor comments: "That's nothing, in Germany we take part of the brain out of a person; we put it into another person's head, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work."   A Russian doctor says: "That's nothing either. In Russia we take out half of the heart from a person; we put it into another person's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work." The U.S. doctor answers immediately: "That's nothing my colleagues, you are way behind us.... in the USA (about 2 years ago) we grabbed a person From Kenya with no brains, no heart, and no balls....we made him President of the United States, and now....... the whole country is looking for work

"Islam" in its purest form means "total surrender."

The religion of peace?

Dr. Michael Youssef - Guest Columnist - 10/7/2011 11:10:00 AM

Immediately after September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush rushed into a local D.C. Islamic mosque and declared that Islam was a "religion of peace."

Many Muslim propagandists in the West have deliberately twisted the meaning of the word "Islam" and say that it comes from the word "salam," which means "peace." These deceptions are laughed at by anybody with a mere elementary knowledge of the Arabic language.

"Islam" in its purest form means "total surrender." The image that word holds is of a vanquished army on its knees before the vanquisher.

Recent news reports from Iran of a pastor sentenced to death by hanging -- Youcef Nadarkhani -- have presented the "religion of peace" in its most accurate and true form. This barbaric act is what both Sunni Wahhabis as well as Shiites are calling to be the norm in all Islamic countries ... and they speak hopefully of applying it to Europe. So much for the "religion of peace."

Elam Ministries, a UK-based organization that serves the Christian church in Iran, revealed that the arrest of Christians in Iran solely for worshipping Christ has been on the increase. Under the noses of the one who is the darling of many foolish Western organizations, President Ahmadinejad of Iran has arrested 220 Christians between June 2010 and January 2011. As of January 2011, only 33 remained in prison.

When I watch videos or read speeches by Islamists in Europe, I cringe at how they speak optimistically about the implementation of these barbaric actions in the future in Europe. One of the clerics said, "It is a matter of time, when we, with our birthrate, will overwhelm the white Europeans and thus will be able to take control of all of Europe."

As Sharia Courts spread across Europe like a noose slowly being tightened around that venerable continent, one can foresee how Catholic priests, Protestant pastors, or even Jewish rabbis will be brought before these courts with all sorts of false accusations of blaspheming Islam or their prophet. It will only take a few hangings or beheadings before most of the French and European former-Christian landscape surrenders to the power of the sword.

When Pastor Nadarkhani was asked to repent he said, "Repent means to return, what should I return to? To the blasphemy that I had before my faith in Christ?"

I cannot help but wonder if pastors, priests, and rabbis in Europe would have such courage?

To bring it even closer to home -- would we have many American pastors with such courage?

Would I have such courage?

May God have mercy on His children before such a time, but if it does come, every true Christian must ask themselves the question: What would I do?

The only answer for a complete change of heart from barbarism to love is the Gospel of Christ. Two thousand years ago that Gospel transformed a well-known terrorist's heart by the name of Saul of Tarsus and he became Paul the Apostle.

That same old Gospel has been transforming hearts ever since ... but the problem is that most Christians are not living by the powerful Truth of that Gospel, nor are they seeking to take that Gospel to the ends of the earth with all their heart.

Welfare Vacations Around the World

Culture, Economics, Finances

 

The last time I took a vacation away from home was nearly 10 years ago. Except for the 2 years I spent trying to find a job after being laid off, I’ve worked my entire life since 1964 when I was twelve years old. I started out mowing lawns in the trailer park we lived in for 50¢ a yard. I also collected scorpions and sold them to a professor at the local university for 5¢ each.
In the forty years I’ve been married, we’ve only been able to afford to take three vacations away from home. We’ve never made a lot of money and just have not been able to afford to go anywhere even though we have always wanted to.
Yet, poor people on welfare, at least in California, have been taking vacations to Florida and Hawaii and cruises to destinations around the world as well as numerous trips to Las Vegas at the cost of over $69 million of taxpayer money.
I’m sure that California is not the only state experiencing such welfare abuse and fraud. I’ve seen people on welfare in other states driving more expensive cars and wearing more expensive clothes than I’ve ever been able to afford. I’ve also seen evidence of illegal drug use amongst people on welfare, which is why I support mandatory drug tests for all welfare recipients. If hundreds of thousands of Americans have to take drug tests to earn the money the taxes are collected from, then those that receive the money should also have to be tested.Democrats, more than any other political party or group, continue to defend the current welfare program and often push to give welfare recipients more and more so they can continue to buy cars, clothes, drugs and take vacations that hard working taxpayers can’t afford. Something has to be done to clean up the welfare system and it appears that it has to start from the top (White House) on down to state and local levels. Remove those in office, regardless of what political party they belong to, that support the current system and replace them with men and women that will take steps to clean up the welfare system and make it for living expenses only.
