Might need to move to TX!

What a great deal! We arm them with the weapons they will use against us! What could go wrong!

God hates everything, according to this sick group of people calling themselves a church. Especially noted is their wanton use of profanity - all in the name of God, no less. And this guy (the dad of the little girl) was decent enough to say that he feels sorry for them and he feels their hatred comes from a deep place of pain. I have to say, that almost sounds “liberal” of him. And there I disagree with him. That might be true of some of those people, but the fact of the matter is some people simply choose to be hateful just because that’s what they want - even if they’ve had a good life and a good upbringing, with very supportive/encouraging families. Some people just choose evil. It’s so much easier to be selfish, arrogant, undisciplined, and lazy. It takes way more effort to be kind, forgiving, patient, long-suffering, perseverant, and hard-working. For Westboro Baptist Church, they’ve chosen the lazy way out. And what a mess it has made of their perverted minds. What a really awful day Judgment Day is going to be for these people. When Jesus says, “I tell you the truth, what you did for the least of these my brethren, you did unto me.” - will be words that condemn these people on Judgment Day.

Excellent article! The price African countries have to pay to receive aid under this administration (and Clinton’s before) is to accept abortion and homosexuality. Talk about attached strings! And not just accept them, but prosecute anyone who speaks out against them as hare crimes.

If America does not have a spiritual revival, we will not survive. If we do not repent of our national and personal sins, we will not be “saved” by ANY politician, no matter how great he/she might be. It would be a short reprieve only.

What a precious little soul! So happy for the mother that she had a real conversion experience and that there are no regrets. What a message of hope!

Unfortunately, it’s true that homosexuality is not at all uncommon in the Middle East. We spent several years there and had ample opportunity to see for ourselves.

Shery’s daughter - (I’ll be getting my own account soon.) This kid is wearing the clothes he performs in. It’s possible that it may have something to do with the immigration thing, but it also may not. This is what mariachi singers wear. This is what he knows to wear when he performs. Also, there is nothing wrong with him being proud of his Mexican heritage but also proud to be an American. If you want to read more into it, go ahead. I feel it’s a shame that he has been subjected to such racist vitriol. We ought to know better, especially since we are ALL descended from immigrants to this country. I too support border security and do not appreciate illegals being given benefits and rights that our own citizens don’t get. But I seriously doubt this boy and his costume have anything to do with that. I’m proud of him. It was an honour to have him sing our national anthem.

I do believe that a 2 year mandatory stint in the military after HS would make a huge difference in the lives of most. It would help them to be more focused on their life and its possibilities afterword, and for ALL, would help them to realize what those who serve longer sacrifice and put up with for the rest of us to live free. It would give time for a more mature look at college for most, instead of the “party” mentality that ruins so many lives today. Who knows that it might also translate into better judgment in the voting booth, as well.

Shery’s daughter here. I have been a big fan of Alicia Keys for years. Proud of her for making that stance. We need to support her, as she’ll likely be getting rail-roaded for taking this position. If we giver her this support, it just might give her courage to continue standing her ground on this issue.

To “no-to-illegals” thank you! I appreciate your response.

Shery’s daughter here. Mr. Foster, I would have to say that in a few points I disagree with you. Not all, just a few. Our government now is the not the same as it was in MLK’s day. These days, if you approach our government with such concerns, you get set up and “bumped off” (like Joe Foster), demonized in public by the liberal media, or you are largely ignored but then added to the government watch list - or a whole slew of other things like those I just listed. We have a rogue government - has been since before Obama, but it is especially now. I don’t pretend to know Snowden’s motives for what he did. Who knows? - he may be secretly working for the Chinese. I look at it that he is 29 and claims to have acted according to conscience. Time will tell. But these days, more and more people aged 29 don’t have the same maturity at 29 as people did 30 years ago who were 29. That’s not to knock anyone who is his age. It’s not even to knock him. My point is that if he’s being honest with himself and with us, he just may not have made the best decision on how to handle it but truly believed he was doing the right thing. But then again, with our government the way it is - and has been - I myself wouldn’t follow such channels as you suggested because I’d know it would be a sure-fire way to get myself made public enemy #1 by certain of our government officials. I’d probably disappear into the night forever - maybe with a “apparent suicide” diagnosis for my cause of death, and then my family would be on the watch list for the rest of their lives. Or maybe they wouldn’t arrange for my “suicide” but would scrutinize me EXTREMELY closely for the rest of my life with periodic persecutions to keep my feathers ruffled. Being that he worked with the CIA and was able to see how things go with those agencies, he probably knew that trying to go the routes you say are the “right way” to go, would have been an exercise in futility at best. In an honest and moral society, your route would certainly be correct. But we no longer have such a society. He would be a fool for thinking he could go to the very government that is trying to undermine this nation, with his discovered “wrong doings” by the said government. Sure, our government does take action against wrong-doings like that but only when they have somehow been made public, so that they have no choice but to take action. I myself am not sure whether or not to believe Snowden fully just yet. But I’m going to reserve judgment until his motives become more clear. If that never happens, then he’ll have God to answer to one day. Meanwhile, we have a government that is trying to fundamentally change our whole republic into a fascist, tyrannical state right under our very noses. If Snowden is right, then this is huge but not surprising - this has been going on by our government for many years. If he’s really an enemy of the state, or a pawn of Obama to distract us, I think that will likely become more obvious. Let’s not take our eyes off of the big picture, though.

This IS one she is right on, but I still can hardly open an article of hers to read. I was so incensed by her arrogance and stubbornness in regards to Romney that it still makes me mad. Romney is a good person, no doubt about it and would have made a far better president than what we have, but he is no Reagan, nor is he all that conservative. I hope Ann gets things straightened out again, as she has been one of our best writers. If she goes off on Sarah again I’LL NEVER READ ANOTHER ARTICLE BY HER AGAIN!

These people are not behind bars because the media no longer reports on corruption, especially perpetrated by the democrats. But let a conservative sneeze in public and there is a conspiracy around it. Not only that, but as right now, people are not demanding ANYTHING in light of the various scandals. If we are going to be silent, then they are going to do with us as they want without impunity. The outcry has to come from us. Until about 4 weeks ago, I was writing my senators almost daily about some issue. Then we were caring for a parent with no internet access.

My senators don’t bother responding, which tells me that I must be the “lone ranger” in letter writing so they don’t need to bother responding to me. If, on the other hand, there were a lot of letters, I thinks they’d have made it to the mics to let us know that they are listening. We need to find another way to get SOMEONE to listen to us.

This is outrageous! Once again, this is Shery’s daughter, not Shery. Just one more way we can see that the radical Left really doesn’t care about who they exploit - and especially since this young man was black. They probably figured he was easy prey and used to being in trouble or some crap like that. I hope the rest of black America sees that the libs are NOT on their side. How can they be, when they support Margaret Sanger’s pet projects like Planned Parenthood, who clearly stated that her goal was to get rid of blacks because she felt they were a blight on mankind? Wake up America! We all need to stick together - people of every race. White, black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, etc. - we are “the people”, and we only have each other now.

The media are putting the country THEY want first. They are on board with socialism.

I’m Shery’s daughter. We lived in Turkey for 6 years when I was growing up. I loved it there. Turkey, however, is deeply divided between radical populations further to the east and more secularized people in the western part of the country. Erdogan had the support of the more Islamist part of the country that is eager for Turkey to become a major player in the Muslim world. This is also Erdogan’s desire. I feel for the more Westernized populations of Turkey because they truly want democracy. They have even held marches in support of their smaller Christian segment of the population, a few years ago when a few Turkish pastors were brutally murdered for being Christians. And there have been marches for animal rights - something we never would have seen when I was living there. What we hear of most in the West is Turkey’s moderate or more secular segments of society, but Turkey has its fair share of Islamists. We don’t hear much about it in our media, but girls are still murdered in honour killings there, hands are still cut of for stealing, people are arrested, held and beaten before they are charged with anything, and some women are still stoned for being raped. And it has been that way all along. Istanbul is not typical of the rest of the nation. But, if Turks will unite and not back down, insist on truly democratic change - which it seems more and more of its people want - then Turkey could be a bastion of hope to its neighboring Muslim nations who also have a few democracy lovers in their midst.

Well, our government officials may take us over and subdue us at the bidding of their superiors - the global elite - but they will themselves be eliminated, once they have served their purpose. What goes around comes around.

The reason they are probably not saying so is this: Proof. Probably know it, but the media will not cover it, and if it is a speculation and no smoking gun evidence, then forget it. You’ll only be labeled and slandered, trashed, called conspiracy nuts, etc. You cannot go where the evidence doesn’t take you. PERIOD.

His comments that we conservatives applauded Bush’s totalitarianism is just out and out wrong. We were complaining to high heaven about it, but our representatives were doing nothing about it. Not all republicans are conservative...need we discuss that on this site? NO! There are fewer and fewer of them all the time until recently, as Sarah Palin has been helping to find some great people to run for office. Otherwise, it was a good article. Honestly, the “people” (sheeple) are doing exactly what the democrats have been leading them to do. Entertain themselves to death and send their kids off to the public school for totalitarian indoctrination. It’s working! Now we get American Idol for the presidency instead of a vetted, true-blooded American. Yes, it is our fault. We love our way of life so much that we sit back and enjoy all our forms of entertainment and let someone else fight for our country. Not working out so well, is it? Still praying that America wakes up, but even with all the crap going down, how many will truly (if they are able) do anything, participate in rallies, write letters demanding change, etc.? I’m afraid it is too few, to be honest. Obama laughs this off. He knows he is going to finish his term.

Praying for Cuccinelli and Jackson to win! That would be too wonderful! I’m hoping that a lot of people are getting tired of the heavy-handed government style and will opt for common sense.

Very interesting article! I quite enjoyed it!

Unfortunately, in this administration’s oversight of the military, it is allowing all kinds of crazy stuff, promoting lawlessness, and prosecuting the righteous.

Obama saw what the Clintons got by with and upped the ante. He CLEARLY has the most corrupt administration in our history! To be honest, I cannot think of one single appointee that would not have already been considered a felon by everyday standards that the rest of us live under. With a democrat-controlled Congress in 2009, he could get every nominee in place with ease, regardless of republican objections. WE MUST WIN 2014 and put the skids on this beast.

I have to say I couldn’t agree more, Publius. I personally believe we need to return to God. Nothing else will be solved without that. Because all of those other issues: politics, economics, education, etc. all have to do with a frame of mind. When the heart is corrupt, the mind will be too.

Publius, that’s unfortunately true. I have quite a few friends my parents’ age, and they openly admit the baby boomer generation really did this nation in, when they went totally “counter-culture” on everyone. I also think some people in the 1920’s kind of got that trend started, as many people of that time were pushing the boundaries on morality. Plus, socialism was getting a good deal of interest from several of our politicians at that time. When they realized they couldn’t ram socialism through our government so fast, they went for the academic institutions, to change the minds of successive generations. It worked. It has only gotten worse from there. I hope to see more of my generation wake up and get a clue, but I don’t expect that will happen without a major shaking: something akin to 09/11 but worse. Maybe if our economy totally collapses, that might wake a few people up......maybe.

By the way, GenXteacher, I agree. My youngest brother is also a teacher - he qualifies for the Gen. Y group. My other younger brother (the middle guy) only just a few months ago, finally got a really good job that loves him and pays him well, and is a job he may be able to have for life - time will tell. I’m happy for them as they have kids and wives. I always planned to work till I was dead, just because I’m a work-a-holic like my dad. I have to stay busy. But our future scares me some. If something were to happen to our health when we get up there in age, and we couldn’t work, there won’t be anything for us - no Medicaid or Medicare, no social security, no nothing. And by the way, to the others who commented on here, not all of us voted that way!

I’m not Shery - I’m her daughter. I’m a gen. X’er myself. I only have student loan debts, but because of the difficult time trying to hold down enough employment while trying to go to school on my own, since I was 19, has meant that I NEVER had anything saved towards retirement. My parents couldn’t afford to send me to college, and the cost of living in my state is fairly high. That being the case, I couldn’t afford to move to a cheaper state. Plus, I’m from a college town, where you can’t get a job that pays more than minimum wage, most of the time - because they can get college students to that will take minimum wage, so why should they pay anyone else more than that? - that was their mindset. Even with working two or three jobs that paid minimum wage, what little I was able to save toward school always ended up going into my beat-up car to keep it running (repairs, etc.), or to the doctor when I’d get strep throat or something like that. So, I was never able to save anything for college. That’s when I took out student loans, which I had to wait till I was 24 to do. That got me a real late start in school, compared to my fellow peers whose parents were able to help them through school - or my other peers who were not white and therefore able to get all kinds of scholarships or grants that I didn’t qualify for - even though I had excellent grades. They were all able to graduate from college at 22 or 23 or were getting their master’s degrees the following year. So, I went to school sometimes and then had to stop and work a few semesters to get back on my feet financially. Then I’d go back to school and then have to stop again to work a whole lot, again to get caught back up. Each time I was in school, I was still working too. I FINALLY got my lowly A.A. in 2006. STILL working on my B.A. and it’s 2013!!! And by the way, I’m a go-getter type of person. I don’t slack off, and I’m not at all stupid. Finally, I said “forget this!” and went to get an LPN license (to see if I’m any good at nursing). I’m back to working on my B.A. again, and also working on my RN at the same time. Now, I can’t find a nursing job because guess why? I don’t have at least one year’s experience yet. Talk about feeling real frustrated at 40, with not a penny aside for retirement and still all these student loans to pay. Good thing I never had kids! I’d never be able to afford them. So, yes, this is one frustrated gen. X’er who can vouch for the legitimacy of this article - for at least some of us.

After all, she told Harpo to beat Sophia. She must be in favour of it!

That is just plain ridiculous! If people see Hitler in that, then they obviously WANT to see Hitler in it. What you want to see, you see - even if it isn’t there.

Amen!

A hearty AMEN! May those who try to harm him in any way feel Your wrath and be thwarted in their endeavors. May they come to naught! The same for this administration, Lord, we pray that the Evil one is not victorious, that their efforts to fundamentally change America to a Marxist/Communist country will all be in vain.

Visit SAMs Club. They have a lot of office supplies.

Wall Street bankers are nearly 100% democrats, that’s why! The democrats say publicly that they are all republicans, but that is the lie that no one corrects.

My husband and I have been married 41 years July 15th. We’ve been audited MOST of those years. It is always scary to get that letter! SO far, we’ve always been exonerated and have sometimes gotten more back than we claimed. Once we were told we owed less than a dollar, and it instructed us not to pay anything less than $1. So we didn’t. Recently we started having our taxes done. It is pricey, but we rest better!

A few months ago I started getting emails from Nancy Pelosi. I deleted them and finally sent a message that the emails were not requested or desired and to stop sending them. Makes me wonder how Nancy got my email. Hmmmm!

When you recall that he PUBLICLY threatened SC Chief justice Roberts? I’d say ABSOLUTELY! HE has also publicly threatened a few others. I PRAY that there is a smoking gun email somewhere that came straight from OBAMA encouraging, if not directly ordering such. This guy is a tyrant. He thinks he is popular with the other tyrants, but to be honest, even THEY don’t like or trust him!

And these are the ones we are sending money and supplies to! That makes me quite sick to my stomach.

PLEASE! I’m so angry now I could spit nails!

I guess we’ll find out where they are when we experience the next terror attack.

Rush is right again. Obama’s administration is tyranny over us, like that of other Communist dictators. Nixon was not a dictator, and by comparison, resigned instead of continuing to drag out the political fire. Looking back, he was honorable for doing so. To look over this president’s last 4+ years, there is NOTHING honorable about his incendiary rhetoric, his behavior, his lavish lifestyle that he flaunts in the face of the most prolonged recession/depression , his race-baiting, his refusal to take RESPONSIBILITY for one iota other than the bagging of Osama bin Laden. IF the average American refuses to see, or cannot see the true spirit of this president, then America will not survive as as. America as it is right now is pretty deplorable, to be honest, but it will get worse. IF obama comes through this unscathed, as Rush was saying, he will be stronger, which means that he will have no qualms about pushing his agenda through. I fear a day that they take my sweet grandchildren from our sons because they are being raised in a Christian family, to be then raised by the state (or gay couples) to make sure they are not racist, bigots, etc. Dear God in Heaven...PLEASE spare our children and grandchildren this fate!

The letters have now been found to come from a lot of other states, so it was not confined to one city, or state, for that matter! These guys really do think we’re all dumb. I know they count on their own constituency being so, but I think they think that because we might listen to Rush, Levin, Hannity, or Beck, that we are dumber! HAHAHA!

Here is my husband’s reply...any democrat voter that cannot buy, or figure out how to buy, their own condoms will probably not buy a SodaStream, either. They wouldn’t know how to figure it out to use it!

I’ve been looking for such a device. After living in Europe for 20 years, getting used to drinking bubbly water, and with it drying up in every store we found it in stateside, we shall just use our own filtered water and purchase a SodaStream. As for Aroma Cafe....GREAT PLACE! If you get to Israel, especially Jerusalem, there are several! Great coffee, great meals, great experience! And, if you’ve not had hummus, YUMMMMMMMY! Of course, there are a lot of varieties, and having lived in Turkey for 6 years, I make my own, but hummus is wonderful!

I’m not holding my breath on this one. She has joined Coulter and many others in their outspoken contempt for Sarah Palin. Now she sees the writing on the wall and realizes that the PUBLIC trusts Palin far above most other politicians and spokespeople. She resonates the truth, and she speaks English well. She doesn’t speak Ivy League nonsense. Has no tolerance for it! AMEN!

As for Kathleen, well she has some changing to do and we’ll be watching.

Here was my reply at CNSNEWS.COM:
“NO COMPARAISON, MR. PRESIDENT? Well that would be correct. Watergate was a bungled burglary of documents from the Democrats’ headquarters (which the democrats were ALSO doing, I might add, but were not caught). You have Fast & Furious (illegal) gun running; Benghazi catastrophe-which also involved gun running, but also included the deaths of state department employees; IRS extortion and harassment of conservative and Jewish organizations; the AP files being illegally seized; ObamaCare rammed through in an illegal manner, then you PUBLICLY strong-armed the Chief Justice with threats against his family, Chicago style, if he didn’t give you a favorable result...which he apparently took notice of and put the burden on we citizens, etc.

You, Mr. Obama (Sotero, or whatever) are in a category all by yourself. You thought that you could use your race to get by with anything and everything. It has been played over and again. WE are NOT the racist people you keep insisting we are. It is YOU! Power has corrupted you and your family and cohorts to the extent that you believe you and your actions are ABOVE THE LAW, that you answer ONLY to YOURSELF, not the people. The US Constitution says otherwise. It is WAY PAST time that you were brought to face your unconstitutional deeds, your lawlessness, and your own shortcomings. Every action we make, for good or bad, has consequences, likewise. Sooner or later, the consequences weigh in. While your DOJ might try it’s very best to keep you from seeing justice, there is One who rules on high who sees everything and He is a God of Justice.”

To be honest, I’d believe it to be possible that several of these clinics reside in every state of the union. Just consider that after 40 years of legality, with little to no oversight, one would expect that abuses would be rampant, especially in an industry that is in itself so despicable that average people would not really want to know what goes on inside.

Let’s pray they are allowed to take it to the SC. I pray that it can be overturned there.

The marginalization begins! The “elites” do NOT want a true conservative! But, seriously, in the meantime, we have 2014 to deal with, and knowing that this admin stole the 2012 election, we HAVE to get conservative voters out this time to keep the House, and pick up seats in the Senate! If Obama wins in 2014, gaining both houses of Congress, we can kiss America good-bye forever. He will have the force of government totally in his own hand to do as he damn well pleases. So, encouraging as it is to have a couple good 2016 candidates, don’t forget that we have to WIN in 2014 big!

This is the 3+ hour press conference with the details.
