Let's give this guy amnesty, free health care, social security and all the other benefits due a person of his status.
I wonder if these heinous acts occurred in a "sanctuary" city?

GLBT Lobby Uses Extortion to Strong-Arm the White House
"President Barack Obama, whose gay and lesbian supporters have grown frustrated with his slow movement on their priorities, is extending benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees but stopping short of a guarantee of full health insurance, a White House official said.
Obama planned to announce his decision Wednesday in the Oval Office, the official said. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because Obama had not signed a presidential memorandum putting his plan into place.
The decision is a political nod to a reliably Democratic voting bloc that has become impatient with the White House in recent weeks.
Several powerful gay fundraisers withdrew their support from a Democratic National Committee event June 25 where Vice President Joe Biden is expected to speak. Their exit came in response to a Justice Department brief last week that defended the Defense of Marriage Act, a prime target for gay and lesbian criticism."
....
Call it what you will, but the "Gay Lobby" is using it's massive financial clout to force Obama into giving them more recognition/legitimization. Apparently the Dem's fear the loss of campaign contributions more than doing the right/moral thing.

Piece Be With You............
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Kentucky pastor is inviting his flock to bring guns to church to celebrate the Fourth of July and the Second Amendment.
New Bethel Church is welcoming "responsible handgun owners" to wear their firearms inside the church June 27, a Saturday. An ad says there will be a handgun raffle, patriotic music and information on gun safety.
"We're just going to celebrate the upcoming theme of the birth of our nation," said pastor Ken Pagano. "And we're not ashamed to say that there was a strong belief in God and firearms — without that this country wouldn't be here."
The guns must be unloaded and private security will check visitors at the door, Pagano said.
He said recent church shootings, including the killing Sunday of a late-term abortion provider in Kansas, which he condemned, highlight the need to promote safe gun ownership. The New Bethel Church event was planned months before Dr. George Tiller was shot to death in a Wichita church.
Kentucky allows residents to openly carry guns in public with some restrictions. Gun owners carrying concealed weapons must have state-issued permits and can't take them to schools, jails or bars, among other exceptions.
Pagano's Protestant church, which attracts up to 150 people to Sunday services, is a member of the Assemblies of God. The former Marine and handgun instructor said he expected some backlash, but has heard only a "little bit" of criticism of the gun event
the rest of the story........
In some States like Ohio, it is up to the person(s) in-charge of each Parish/Congregation as to allow a concealed handgun licensee to be armed in Church.

Walmart Gang Shooting Messages Probable Hoax
Reports of gang initiation killing to be conducted at Walmart Store appears to be a hoax that started in South Florida earlier this week and has made it's way across the US.

The Chicago Junta Going After Our Guns
In the early 19th century the Richmond Junto was a political machine that monopolized national politics and was later replaced by the Albany Regency as the power brokers in the US. Now it is the early 21st century and a new political force has gained prominence in national politics and it is spreading it's tendrils, trying to ensnare every aspect of our society into it's grasp.
Our Republic is falling under the control of a socialist junta emanating from the environs of Cook County, IL. A machine in every sense of the word, but unlike the localized power broker who originally built it, the machine has been re-tooled with an ideology to increase it's power and will it try to either enslave or destroy those who get in it's way. The machine that Daley built, now under the operation of Machinist Emmanuel, is out to take control of every aspect of our society.
This machine is not perfect, it does have vulnerabilities, it is made of parts and cogs that have major character flaws. The trick is to expose the flaws and break the machine before it has an opportunity to assimilate us all through executive and legislative fiat.

Clinton - Human Rights Not a Priority
Where is the cry from the left of "No Blood for Lead Tainted Goods"?
Apparently it is only when G.W. "Chimpy" McHitlerburton and the evil Republicans are in power that human right are more important than money. Now, with the regime change to the Obama-messiah, those people in the PRC who are getting their teeth kicked-in and having a bulldozer run-over their house because they had a prayer meeting in it are less important than keeping the prices low at the Dollar Tree and investment capital from the Oligarchs of Cathay.
From PersecutionBlog
In case you haven't heard, recently Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton decided to emphasize financial and economic issues with China and at the same time decided to brush under the rug all of the human rights abuses that China engages in.
Naturally, those of us who think human rights abuses in China are extremely important, are upset. However, not everyone is upset about that - case in point - Alex Spillius from the UK Telegraph writes,

HATS off to Hillary. On the last day of her maiden trip in Asia, she was frank about the how hard she would push the Chinese on human rights.For me, this raises an issue - or shall I say, actually highlights an issue. What we are looking at is the value of humanity who are being persecuted, tortured in many cases, and abused - versus - the global economy and the importance of money. I find this interesting, and I'm not the only one.
"Our pressing on those issues can't interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crisis," she said, adding that Washington "knew what the Chinese were going to say" on the issue.
She went on to emphasise the economic partnership between the US and China, who "are truly going to rise or fall together" and urged the Chinese to continue buying US treasury bonds.

Dear Secretary Clinton:
I write to share my dismay, also voiced by a number of leading human rights organizations, at your comments during your recent Asia trip indicating that human rights will not be a priority in your engagement with China. These statements come on the heels of the U.S. failing to participate in the United Nations review of the human rights record of China, among other worst offenders. Both are deeply troubling commentary on this administration’s commitment to human rights, and are undoubtedly disheartening for scores of Chinese citizens, including the imprisoned Catholic bishops, persecuted house church leaders and repressed Tibetan Buddhists.

The Physical Threat of Islam...Now as Then

We have known for almost 500 years what we are dealing with, but for some reason we keep shoving it down the memory hole.
And before anyone writes-this-off as 16th century popaganda, turn on your TV or read the news and tell me you don't see this today.
"In the second place, the Turk’s (Muslim's) Koran, or creed, teaches him to destroy not only the Christian faith, but also the whole temporal government. His Mohammed, as has been said, commands that ruling is to be done by the sword, and in his Koran the sword is the commonest and noblest work."
[…]
"Thus the Turk (Muslim) is, in truth, nothing but a murderer or highwayman, as his deeds show before men’s eyes."
[…]
"Now we have heard above what kind of man the Turk (Muslim) is, viz., a destroyer, enemy, and blasphemer of our Lord Jesus Christ, who instead of the Gospel and faith, sets up his shameful Mohammed and all kinds of lies, ruins all temporal government and home-life, or marriage, and, since his warfare is nothing but murder and bloodshed, is a tool of the devil himself."

Thanksgiving and Abraham Lincoln
A Proclamation.
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the Eighty-eighth.
By the President: Abraham Lincoln
William H. Seward,
Secretary of State
This is a transcript of the proclamation that brought us the first official Thanksgiving holiday, from one of our greatest presidents, a man that historical revisionists are trying to cast in a new light.
What is of this trend to recast the greatest figures in history, those persons that have built our civilization, and to mold them to conform to and/or justify a fringe agenda?
My former fellow travelers have tried to hijack Lincoln as one of their own. Though never a member of any one denomination, Lincoln is far from being the atheist icon that historical revisionists are trying make him. Lincoln read and quoted from the bible extensively, he invoked Providence and called upon the Almighty for our salvation and he attended a Presbyterian Church on a regular basis.
In his younger days, Lincoln was witness to the partisanship of various denominations and seemed to have been put off by this. Lincoln may have been a Free Christian, believing in the common tenants in Christian faith, while avoiding the particularities of any single denomination or he may have been an unorthodox Christian that maintained his own view of Christianity.
The revisionists are using quotes, generally taken out-of-context, to brace their conclusion that he was an atheist or agnostic, without taking into consideration the volumes of his writings and speeches that showed his belief in God and an in-depth understanding of Judeo-Christian tradition and beliefs.
No person will ever know exactly what Lincoln believed, but to shove him into the atheist camp, when the preponderance of evidence leads to the opposite conclusion is intellectually dishonest.
Thanksgiving(s) have been, traditionally religious holidays to English speaking peoples, but as with all of our holidays it is being usurped by the new faiths of secularism and consumerism, by robbing thanksgiving of it's religious identity and casting it's founder in an non-religious light, we further undermine our history, tradition and values.

Quick Note to Gov. Palin
If you are anywhere and a network TV cameraman arrives, think set-up.
The left leaning media views you as a threat to "The One's" chances for a second term and they will do everything in their power to make you look bad.
Note to your staff: Eyes off of the Blackberry and pay attention to your surroundings, get the guy "offin'" the poultry to "take 5" if the interview can't be moved.
Gov. Palin: You need to find people for your staff that "got your back".

Is the News from D.C. Driving the Dow Lower?
Maybe it is coincidental but why is it that about the same time (1330 Hrs Eastern) the news hit that Rep. Henry Waxman (D - Libtardistan) was going to lead the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, that the Dow tanked over 400 points?

I think the people on the floor of the NYSE smell what is cooking in Washington and it ain't good for business.
For those of you who are not aware of what the oversight of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce is here is a list from that committee's website.
Full Committee and Subcommittee Jurisdictions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full Committee

(2) Consumer affairs and consumer protection.
(3) Health and health facilities (except health care supported by payroll deductions).
(4) Interstate energy compacts.
(5) Interstate and foreign commerce generally.
(6) Exploration, production, storage, supply, marketing, pricing, and regulation of energy resources, including all fossil fuels, solar energy, and other unconventional or renewable energy resources.
(7) Conservation of energy resources.
(8) Energy information generally.
(9) The generation and marketing of power (except by federally chartered or Federal regional power marketing authorities); reliability and interstate transmission of, and ratemaking for, all power; and siting of generation facilities (except the installation of interconnections between Government waterpower projects).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subcommittee Jurisdictions
Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection
(1) Interstate and foreign commerce, including all trade matters within the jurisdiction of the full committee;
(2) Regulation of commercial practices (the FTC), including sports-related matters;

This committees oversight is broad and will effect more sectors of the economy than any other committee in congress. With Waxman in charge of this committee we can kiss domestic drilling goodbye, he can use the consumer safety ploy to go after the gun industry and the communications component to help enact the so-called fairness doctrine.
There is a danger here far greater than most people can imagine, this committee can effect the average persons pocketbook and could cause further economic hardship in the name of phantom environmental issues, this is very, very, very BAD!!!!!!!!

With Waxman in charge of this committee we can kiss domestic drilling goodbye, he can use the consumer safety ploy to go after the gun industry and the communications component to help enact the so-called fairness doctrine.
There is a danger here far greater than most people can imagine, this committee can effect the average persons pocketbook and could cause further economic hardship in the name of phantom environmental issues, this is very, very, very BAD!!!!!!!!

Fratricide in the Name of Change
It appears that the Obama election has sent a secret signal to the liberal revolution to engage in fratricide to further........"Change".
In the concession the losing Rep. Dingell also mentions "change". Maybe it is true, that the leftard wing of the Democrat party sees the Obama election as a mandate and will lob themselves headlong into "change" and thereby alienating the average voter completely.
If we are really lucky we can look forward to Seppuku for "change".
Waxman Wins Energy and Commerce Committee Chairmanship From Dingell
AP
WASHINGTON — Rep. Henry Waxman — a liberal ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi — has wrested the chairmanship of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee from veteran Rep. John Dingell when the new Congress convenes in January.
Waxman, a California liberal and avid environmentalist and booster of health care programs, toppled Dingell Thursday on a vote of 137-122 in the Democratic Party caucus, capping a bitter fight within party ranks.
Dingell has been the top Democrat on the panel for 28 years and is an old-school supporter of the auto industry. Waxman has complained that the committee has been too slow to address environmental issues like global warming.
"The argument we made was that we needed a change for the committee to have the leadership that will work with this administration and members in both the House and the Senate in order to get important issues passed in health care, environmental protection, in energy policy," Waxman said after the vote.
"The next two years are critical," said Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., who spoke on Waxman's behalf in the closed-door caucus. "It's not personal. It's about the American people demanding that we embrace change and work with the president on critical issues of climate change and energy and health care."
Waxman, 69, is an accomplished legislator. He had chaired the Energy and Commerce health and environment subcommittee for 16 years and won a series of piecemeal expansions of the Medicaid health care program for the poor that added many children to the program. He's also taken on the tobacco companies.
The Energy and Commerce panel is one of the most important House committees, with sweeping jurisdiction over energy, the environment, consumer protection, telecommunications and health care programs such as Medicaid and the popular State Children's Health Insurance Program.
Waxman has been the top Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee for the last 12 years. Since Waxman became chairman of that panel two years ago, it has taken the Bush administration to task over global warming and allegations that it muzzled government scientists. It also has investigated the White House's political operation, the use of steroids in sports and, most recently, abuses behind the financial collapse.
Dingell, 82, has been the committee's top Democrat for 28 years and is an important ally of automakers and electric utilities. He's considered one of the House's premier legislators, with a lengthy track record on health, consumer issues and the environment, among other things.
Dingell's defenders said he had done nothing to deserve being dumped, pointing to the panel's busy workload over the last two years, including successfully enacting an energy bill that raised automobile fuel economy standards to 35 miles per gallon by 2010.
"I think it was highly inappropriate," said Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va. "There was no obvious reason for it other than the desire for another person to chair the committee.
"Seniority is important," Waxman told reporters. "But it should not grant the priority rights to hold a chairmanship for three decades."
Driving Waxman's bid was the issue of global warming, a pet cause of President-elect Barack Obama. Waxman is expected to more aggressively attack this problem and is expected to move legislation with tougher emissions standards than Dingell would have.
Environmentalists say Dingell has acted too slowly on global warming, despite releasing a bill last month. The measure was a poke in the eye to Waxman and Pelosi, D-Calif., since it would prevent states like California from setting tougher auto emissions standards than the federal government.
"Waxman's victory is a breath of fresh air — of clean air. It was a stunning defeat for the corporate lobbyists on K Street," said Frank O'Donnell, president of Clean Air Watch. "It shows that a majority of the House Democrats are ready to work with the incoming Obama administration on effective global warming legislation."
In a statement congratulating Waxman, Dingell acknowledged that it is a "year of change." He renewed his commitment "to protecting and creating jobs, to providing health care for all Americans, to working to getting our state and nation's economy back on track."
Pelosi is a home state ally of Waxman and has tangled with Dingell in the past, but she has not publicly taken sides in the battle and did not pressure members privately to back Waxman. But her support of Waxman was well known and played a role in the strong tally.

The People Have Spoken and We Don't Care
Dozens Of Ca. Lawmakers Vow To Fight Prop 8 Passage
All 43 of the members of the California Senate and Assembly who signed on to the brief are Democrats.
(UPI) – Forty-three California lawmakers have filed a brief urging the state Supreme Court to void a proposition that strips same-sex couples of the right to marry.
All of the members of the California Senate and Assembly who signed on to the brief are Democrats. The signatories include Assembly Speaker Karen Bass and Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, as well as Perata's incoming successor, Darrell Steinberg, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The friend of the court brief was filed less than one week after California voters approved Proposition 8, which defines marriage in the state as between a man and a woman.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (RINO), who has in the past said he does not favor same-sex marriage, told cable news Sunday opponents of Proposition 8 should keep fighting it.
The legal brief filed with the state Supreme Court Monday argues that California's citizens rely on the Legislature and the courts "to safeguard against unlawful discrimination by temporary, and often short-lived, majorities."
"Our state's few deviations from this duty have proven, with the perspective of historical distance, to be the most abhorrent chapters in our state's history," the brief said.
Frank Schubert, the manager of the campaign in favor of Proposition 8, said the legal action was "a Hail Mary, no question about it."
