THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WHO ACTUALLY SURVIVE AN ABORTION

LifeNews -- Kristi Burton Brown -- 12/30/2011

http://www.lifenews.com/2011/12/30/survivors-of-abortion-are-changing-hearts-and-minds/

Of course, there are also the faces of men and women who have personally survived abortions. Gianna Jessen, a famous pro-life speaker, survived a saline abortion and was adopted. A biography about Gianna describes how, at the age of three, she was terrified of the crackling sound a campfire made. Her adoptive mother came to realize that this was the same sound saline solution makes in an abortion as it burns the baby alive. Clearly, unborn babies experience abortion. It’s something that is done to them. They feel pain. Their mind—if they survive—remembers. Gianna Jessen has been a powerful living face for aborted children for years.

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S PRO-ABORTION RECORD

A Pro-Life Compilation (11/5/2008 – 8/28/2011)

http://www.lifenews.com/2010/11/07/obamaabortionrecord/

Lifenews -- 8/28/2011 -- Steve Ertelt

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The following is a compilation of bill signings, speeches, appointments and other actions that President Barack Obama has engaged in that have promoted abortion before and during his presidency.

While Obama has promised to reduce abortions and some of his supporters believe that will happen, this long list proves his only agenda is promoting more abortions.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD MAKES A PROFIT ON ABORTION

LifeNews -- Steve Ertelt -- 12/30/2011

Planned Parenthood Report:  $1Billion Group gets 46% from Tax Money

On December 27, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) released its latest Annual Report for 2009-2010. The report indicates PPFA had a total budget of $1.04 billion and  an excess of revenue over expenses of 18.5 million dollars — a net profit.

The new report also reveals 46 percent of the total PPFA budget comes from taxpayer dollars .   . . . just 21 percent of the income the abortion business brings in comes from private donors (it lists 528,000 active donors) while 31 percent of its revenue is derived from abortions “non-government health services revenue.”

The abortion business also reports spending $56 million in lobbying expenses . . .

In its previous annual report, covering 2009, planned Parenthood did 332,278 surgical abortions or abortions using the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug and its clinics across the nation brought in $404.9 million in revenues. Abortions dropped to 329,445 in this latest annual report and clinic income dropped to $320 million.

. . . the average cost of an abortion is $468. Multiplying the number of abortions times the average cost and factoring that against the total income Planned Parenthood’s clinics derived, approximately $154 million of its $320 million in clinic (or 48 percent) income is derived from abortions.

“Planned Parenthood likes to talk about how only 3% of their services are abortion,” he writes at the Live Action blog. “A simple example of how they come to this calculation would be Planned Parenthood aborting 3 children and giving out 97 condoms.

OBAMA: I'LL BREAK THE LAWS I SIGN

TO KEEP VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION

Expose Obama -- 12/28/2011 -- Ben Johnson -- White House Watch

http://www.exposeobama.com/2011/12/28/obama-ill-break-the-laws-i-sign-to-keep-violating-the-constitutition/
(Bookmark this website)

Obama had criticized George W. Bush for using signing statements (rightly,in my opinion) but began using them himself shortly into his first year in office. As this author was the first to report,since losing control of Congress,Obama has ruled by executive order,regulation,and federal fiats,side-stepping Congress altogether.
This kind of move shows just how shameless Obama is:He is willing to use a signing statement to ignore provisions of a law he signed in order to preserve his ability to engage in a practice that almost certainly violates the U.S. Constitution. Quin Hillyer at The American Spectator summarizes:

This isn’t just a matter of choosing how to interpret unclear provisions of a law;this is explicitly refusing to abide by clear-as-day provisions in a law he just signed. As I have written repeatedly,this man has dangerously authoritarian tendencies. He is a menace.

PRESIDENT OBAMA -- LOOK AT SOCIALISM'S FAILURES

BECAUSE CONSERVATIVES WON'T LET YOU IMPLEMENT ALL OF SOCIALISM'S ILLS IN THE UNITED STATES

America's Greatness will Defeat Obama


http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/12/americas_greatness_will_defeat_obama.html

American Thinker -- 12/28/2011 -- William Gensert

"What happened to the Russians?  Exposed as a nation of hundreds of millions of impoverished people, desperate to escape, communism floundered and failed, finding its true place on the ash heap of history, except to progressives of course, who repackaged the failed ideology as a means to win the future.  Communists became leftists, who became liberals, who became progressives.

"Well, what happened to the Japanese?  They went from the second largest economy to the third largest, having been surpassed by the Chinese.  30 years ago, we were told they would overtake us in 20 years.  Yet, their economy has barely grown in 2 decades.  They have tried one Keynesian stimulus after another, to no avail."

"It's now the Chinese. Many are already warning they will surpass us economically in 20 years, some say 5 years.
China has almost a half a billion people, 35% of their population, living on less than 2 dollars a day, 40 million people still living in caves.

THE JEWS, THE COMMUNISTS, AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/12/the_jews_the_communists_and_the_democratic_party.html

American Thinker -- 12/24/2011 -- Ted Belman

The Jews remained loyal to the Democratic Party throughout.  They also remained loyal to liberalism and secularism.  Communism was embraced because it offered an antidote to discrimination and persecution as it existed in Russia and in America in the first half of the 20^th century; you know, "Workers of the World, Unite!"  Even though Communism proved to be a false God, duly noted by Kunstler's The God That Failed, the Jews continued their quest for equality and civil rights.  They believe as a result in the separation of church and state and the responsibility of the state to provide for those in need.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was formed in 1920 by a group of radicals, socialists, and Communists whose purpose was to defend their fellow radicals.  The founders were not Jewish.  Twenty years later, the ACLU banned Communists from positions of leadership and from its staff.  Over the years, Jews became very influential in this organization.

"CHOICE" IS REALLY COERCION TO ABORT BABY GIRLS

Sex-Selection Abortion in the U.S.:  The Myth of "Choice"

http://www.lifenews.com/2011/12/23/sex-selection-abortion-in-the-u-s-the-myth-of-choice/

Lifenews.com -- Chuck Colson -- 12/23/2011

The reasons behind these abortions demonstrate how hollow phrases like “choice” and “reproductive rights” really are. Writing in Forbes magazine, Richard Miniter described how these women, “pregnant with daughters, reported incredible pressure by in-laws and husbands to produce sons and not daughters.”

They were threatened with “divorce or abandonment…beaten, choked or [even kicked in their] abdomen in the hopes of preventing a daughter,” he wrote. Remember, this is happening in the Bay area, not in some Indian village. And the pressures that lead to sex-selection abortion are felt even by women with graduate or professional degrees.

If there is one restriction on abortion the vast majority of Americans support, it is eliminating sex-selection abortion. Yet many of those who, in theory, should be most troubled by the targeting of unborn females are adamantly opposed to outlawing the practice.
I’m speaking, of course, of feminists and their allies. Ironically, they have come out in opposition to a bill, the Prenatal Discrimination Act, or PRENDA, which would ban the selected abortion of females in the U.S.

WELFARE, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, AND POISONED APPLES

http://patriotupdate.com/articles/the-lefts-war-on-blacks
The Left's War on Blacks -- Nathaniel Davidson -- 12/22/2011

This is a long article with links to a number of videos (like, Why is it that the majority of the black community votes democrat?)

The Democratic left has fortunately given up a lot of its anti-black policies of its history—history that is now whitewashed (or should that be blackwashed?) by the “history” books in the government schools controlled by Democrat teachers unions: how their party supported slavery, opposed the 13th Amendment that banned it, supported racial segregation and Jim Crow laws, helped formed the KKK, turned fire hoses and dogs on peaceful black protestors, and filibustered Civil Rights legislation.  And of course, see The Film Black Liberals DON’T Want You to See.

No, the liberals have a much more subtle method.  They pretend to help blacks now, by giving them treats like welfare and affirmative action, which are really poisoned apples.

The liberal war on the black family

Walter Williams has often said that welfare could do what slavery, Jim Crow and government imposed racial discrimination could not: break up the black family. 

Liberalism has been a poisoned chalice for the black community.  But they won’t learn that conservatism is good if they are never informed!  Conversely, all the policies they love from Democrats, such as welfare and affirmative action, actually benefit mainly white liberals, but have devastated black families and students.

Armed and Ready -- New Mexico Residents Defy Government
http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/guns/armed-and-ready-new-mexico-residents-defy-government?_ft_qid=5682118919906591146

Seidel has used Title 42 on other occasions. One involved a state trooper with an anger management problem who made a false arrest on Seidel’s son. Since being served with a Title 42 suit, the officer has been able to control his anger.

The deadline is long past, and the IRS has done nothing, so the assessor is off the hook for now. But New Mexico is becoming a text book example of how the Founding Fathers envisioned the states would rein in an out-of-control government.

As stated by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist 28: “It may safely be received as an axiom in our political system that the State governments will, in all possible contingencies, afford complete security against invasions of the public liberty by the national authority.”

If there were more sheriffs like those in New Mexico serving around the country, we would be well on the way to safeguarding our liberties against Washington’s “invasions of the public liberty.” It also might occur to the Congress that more examples of sheriffs interposing themselves might result in shrinking down the federal government to do little more than just funding the national defense.

WHY WOULD ANYONE OFFER TO INSTALL A FREE HOME THERMOSTAT?

Unverified--read this with your eyes wide open.

Gulf Power, The Agenda 21 Trojan Horse that tried to sneak into my house free of charge today. 

Be very cautious of your electric co. offering anything for free.  This is very possible and something the current administration and perhaps others would love to be able to do to us.  Nothing is for free.

Dear Patriots across America and Florida,

I just checked the mail and low and behold there was a cute colored flyer from Gulf Power "A Southern company" sitting in the Bunker's re enforced mail slot.  Front of flyer. ENERGY-SELECT.  The Carter's comfort zone.  Hmmm maybe peanut boy is part of this program ?

The flyer stated quote in part:

 "Energy Select is a simple way to save money and energy and help the environment" "Here's a comforting thought. You can take a simple step today to reduce your impact on the environment without radically changing your lifestyle. In fact, Gulf Power is proud to offer you a way to conserve energy and save money at the same time.  Its called Energy Select.  And all it involves is allowing us to install the EnergySelect system, including a programmable thermostat called the Super Statt in your home FREE OF CHARGE. !!!

They then try to sell me on this program with " he Super Stat allows you to set your cooling and heating system automatically. Ok says I.

Here is the BIG RED FLAG boys and girls.  besides the Free part.

It has an Internet control feature where you can control and heat your home anytime, anywhere using the internet. Even if you are hundreds and hundreds of miles away from your home. And installation is FREE.

A trained Agenda 21 employee (my quote not the flyer) will come to your home and install it.

OK here is my response this.  I called Gulf Power and asked the following questions. 

Q. (1)  "Nothing is free in this world so please tell me who is footing the bill for this FREE installation?".  The lady refused to answer until I put on my Senior  hat and pressed the issue.  I stated "Will the tax payers of the Florida be paying for this out of grant money from the EPA or the Commerce Dept"?  She said no, the money is coming from stock holders in a Southern Company.  I said "Great not tax payer money." "Did you have a stock holder meeting and vote to agree to this cost being passed onto stock holders"? She said she did not know.

Q. (2) "I see from the flyer that if I get this FREE thermostat installed by a trained Agenda 21 employee, will I be able to control my heat from  Washington DC if I am say on vacation"? 

 The lady said yes absolutely.  I then asked will Gulf Power and a Southern Company be able to control my heating and cooling from afar using the internet.

She said yes Gulf Power would then have full access to my heating and cooling usage via the internet from their offices.    "Really" ?  said I  "What about the EPA" ?

"What if the EPA decides I am using too much power and hurting the environment, will they have access to my power through the internet"? She said she did not know but probably not. 

Q. (3) I asked "What if the Obama Administstration and the  EPA filed a court order against Gulf Power and demanded access and control of all those suckers that signed up for this FREE thermostat is that possible"?  She said she is not a lawyer and did not know.

Q. (4) "Why is there no disclaimer in the flyer that Gulf Power and a Southern Company will be able to access my house and control my heating and cooling via the internet?"  She said they Gulf Power would have no reason to do that. Hmm says I. Not yet anyway.  Not until Obama and his communist EPA thugs get control of this nation in 2012. What about if Marshall Law is imposed on the people, what then?  Wake up folks. I am sounding the siren !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There you have it boys and girls. Look out for your flyer from Gulf Power or who ever your power provider is.  Get your free installed energy Select System. Here is an opportunity for the government and your power  company to possibly monitor and manage how hot and how cold you want to keep your house from their head quarters.  Be ready for an EPA take over of  Gulf Power as soon as all these free thermostats are installed if and when the country falls to communism.

I respectfully declined this free thermostat from the Agenda 21 Communists. They tried to sneak a Trojan horse into my living room. They could have had the potential to wrestle control of MY HEATING AND COOLING needs from me from AFAR in order to save the planet from polluters called capitalists.

Feel free to call them and ask them who gave Gulf Power the money for this project and why do they want to be able to have access to the inside of our homes directly linked to our thermostats?  This is pure Communism boys and girls.  REJECT THIS!!!

HAWAII: CITIZEN BY BIRTH, NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

Constitutional Scholar:  Born in Hawaii does not make Obama Natural Born Citizen

Patriot Update – 12/12/2011

The conventional wisdom is, that if he could produce a birth certificate showing that he was born in Hawaii, that would make him a natural born citizen. That’s not true. That only makes him a citizen by birth.

And there’s a distinction between the two terms. The “citizen by birth” is a person who becomes a citizen because he was born in the geographical limits of the United States and he was here lawfully or his parents were here lawfully, and therefore by birth, he’s a citizen. Now that’s because in the first sentence of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution, it states specifically that a person who is born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, is a citizen.

DISEASES WON'T BE CURED USING ABORTED BABY PARTS

Life news -- Luis Zaffirini -- 12/7/2011

http://www.lifenews.com/2011/12/07/research-with-body-parts-of-aborted-babies-wont-cure-diseases/

A while back Don Reed, writing for the Huffington Post, argued against a pro-life bill in the Wisconsin Assembly that would prohibit the sale or use of body parts of aborted unborn babies for research purposes. He argued specifically that Lou Gehrig’s disease will be more difficult to cure if the bill becomes law. He also contended that pro-lifers should find no fault in the use of fetal tissue in experimentation or research which depends on the destruction of human embryos.

He claims that if embryonic stem cell research were illegal, a host of diseases “would be ravaging the country right now.” He lists seven such diseases which just so happen to be taken directly from an opinion article written by the director of a Wisconsin stem cell study program.

Mr. Reed’s claim is entirely false.

Barbara Lyons, executive director of Wisconsin Right to Life, put it well in an opinion piece in support of the Wisconsin bill:

“The lesson has been clear throughout the ages: Devalue the humanity of a member of the human family, and any abuse is possible. Today, the unborn child is the least-protected member of the human family. The war on unborn children has escalated dramatically since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision to the point where unborn children are now viewed by researchers as a mere product – not really human to justify what they are doing but valuable nonetheless simply because they are human. They can’t have it both ways.”

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S TOP TEN CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS

The Daily Caller -- 12/4/2011 -- Ilya Shapiro
discussion on health care and federal mandates

http://dailycaller.com/2011/12/04/president-obamas-top-10-constitutional-violations/

...  it’s a good thing that Americans are taking their founding document seriously. After all, the Constitution is the font of all federal power. Its carefully crafted structural provisions that we learned about in grade school, such as the separation of powers and checks and balances, are not merely an application of political theory.

“Federalism is more than an exercise in setting the boundary between different institutions of government for their own integrity,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for a unanimous Supreme Court earlier this year. “By denying any one government complete jurisdiction over all the concerns of public life,” Kennedy continued, “federalism protects the liberty of the individual from arbitrary power.” If the federal government acts outside the scope of its delegated and carefully enumerated powers, then it’s no better than an armed mob.

OBAMACARE WILL KILL JOBS -- A CASE STUDY

George Will -- New York Post -- 12/4/2011

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/and_obamacare_kills_jobs_too_DZcKYiVzuJE9xxE4bhniCJ?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME=

Read the entire post--George Will writes about a restaurant chain that can no longer expand and must turn full-time employees to part timers--all due to ObamaCare.

Time was, American businesses could surmount such regulatory officiousness. But government’s metabolic urge to boss people around has grown exponentially and today CKE’s California restaurants are governed by 57 categories of regulations. One compels employees to take breaks during the busiest hours, lest one of California’s 200,000 lawyers comes trolling for business at the expense of business.

Barack Obama has written that during his very brief sojourn in the private sector he felt like “a spy behind enemy lines.” Puzder knows what it feels like when gargantuan government is composed of multitudes of regulators who regard business as the enemy. And 22.9 million Americans who are unemployed, underemployed or too discouraged to look for employment know what it feels like to be collateral damage in the regulatory state’s war on business.
