    During George W. Bush’s Presidency, after the 11 O’clock news, I’d often watch the start of Letterman until the point when he would make his first negative comment regarding President Bush. That usually it was within a minute or two of the start of his show; at that point I would switch channels away from Letterman.

    Letterman’s Bush hatred was so ingrained that he continued with anti-Bush comments for another couple of years into Obama’s presidential term.

    In retrospect, it’s amazing how banal and time-wasting The Late Show was. Of course I’m one who misses the TV station nightly signoffs, with the flag waving, the National Anthem being played, and then the station test pattern being displayed.

    Are you really that unfamiliar with Obama’s direct statements?

    You apparently also didn’t bother even reading the source article, and the comment there which noted..

    From “Audacity Of Hope” page 261:

    I will stand with the Muslims should the Political winds shift in an ugly direction.

    phil_t to KyGeezer
    It’s time we start thinking about this issue because, hopefully, he is a one-term POTUS!! 492 days and counting..

    Obama Presidential Library

    I was reading an article the other day that showed pictures of the different Presidential Libraries. Told how they contain all the pertinent information about the respective presidents. All of their history before their nominations, the campaign papers and memorabilia, all of the papers from their presidency, and so on. A wealth of information about the man and his life both private and public.

    That got me to thinking, what would Barack Hussein Obama's presidential library look like and what would they archive in it? Just exactly what would the design parameters be? Here's what Sodahead has suggested:

    1.) It wouldn't need to be very big because there are no records to archive from before he was president and everything he does as president is either done in secret, so dumb no one will admit to it, or a lie.

    2.) It would have to be very mobile because by the time he is done as president, no city or state will acknowledge that he ever even visited let alone originally came from there. Plus if the general public ever caught up with it...

    3.) Construction material would need to be easily maintained by minimal staff. Preferably something that could be hosed out occasionally and left to air dry.

    4.) It would be a good idea if it was a dual use facility so that it could at least get some sort of appropriate use. Below is what I came up with as the perfect answer to all of the above.

    Wouldn’t it be great if the Weeper of the House, John Boehner, grew some Spauldings and said this:


    “If the President wants to raise the debt limit, he and the Democrat Party MUST do the following:

    •Repeal Obamacare.

    •Enact the entitlement reforms laid out in the Ryan Plan.

    •Dismantle the EPA, the Department of Education, HUD, and the Department of Energy.

    •End the unconstitutional military action in Libya.

    •Repeal the Dodd/Frank ‘Financial Reform’ bill.

    •Enact legislation to make the so-called ‘Bush Tax Cuts’ permanent.

    •Dismiss Eric Holder as Attorney General and cooperate fully in investigating the following matters: The New Black Panther Party’s voter intimidation, the Romanoff and Sestak bribery scandals, and ‘Operation Fast and Furious’.

    •Support a Constitutional Amendment that will cap federal spending to 20% of GDP.

    •Reduce the non-military federal workforce by 20%.

    The President and his party must understand that these points are NOT negotiable. It’s ‘take it or leave it’ from here on out. We, as a country, are on the edge of total disaster, both economically and politically. I understand that there will be some who call this ‘extreme’. I understand there will be some who will call this ‘inhuman’. To those individuals, I say this: too bad. My responsibility is to the Republic and the Constitution, NOT the op-ed page of the New York Times or the talking heads in the media.

    As soon as MSNBC leaves the room, I will take your questions.”

  • IS MORMONISM CHRISTIAN?

    07/10/2011 6:51:31 PM PDT · 89 of 209
    phil_t to delacoert

    Some Information about Mormonism you probably didn’t know

    Latter Day Saints are one of the wealthiest religions in the world ($30 Billion)
    Church controls over 100 companies and Businesses (Marriott Corp)
    Spends $300 million/year on media campaigns
    Receives $3 million/day in tithes
    Has 50,000 missionaries
    Grows in membership by 1,500 each day; 11 million+ in 170 countries
    Mormons are honest, hard-working, sincere, dependable.

    Joseph Smith, at age 14, in 1820 went into the woods to pray about what church to join.
    Smith said God appeared to him and told him not to join any of the denominational churches, because “All their creeds are an abomination and their professors are corrupt”.
    Smith said that in 1823, when he was age 17, the angel Moroni directed him to find some golden plates with strange inscriptions. Smith translated the plates and published their contents in 1830 (when he was age 24).

    They believe that:
    What man is, God once was;
    what God is, man may become.
    God is an exalted man.
    Mormons believe there are many Gods (the God of the Bible is just one of many millions and billions).

    In 1844 Smith write that “God was once a man who dwelt on this earth. Men and women can attain Godhood.”
    “He was once a man like us”.

    Mormons use Old Testament passages out of context, to try and prove God is human.
    They took everything figurative in scripture and made it literal.

    Mormons teach Polytheism [belief in more than one God].
    There are lots of Gods in other universes.
    Man can become a God.
    But we only worship the God of this universe.

    The Mormon God was a polygamist, and Jesus Christ was just one of the many millions and billions of offspring, including Lucifer.
    Mormons believe there was a contest among siblings over who would be the God of this planet, and Jesus Christ won.
    Mormons teach that God got into Mary’s womb and had physical sexual relations with Mary [Since God already had millions of previous wives, this is adultery]

    Sandra Tanner, a great-great-great granddaughter of Brigham Young, witnesses to Mormons; has a website www.latterdaysaints.com

    Because some spirits had already not behaved properly, they came out of the womb black; so until 1978 blacks were not eligible for Godhood. Spencer Kimball, head of the LDS, heard from God in 1978, and since he is authorized to write mormon scripture, Blacks were declared eligible for Godhood.

    Mormon doctrine says that during the period 2,227 BC to 447 AD, a Jewish Christian group lived in the upper New York State area of the North American continent. But there are absolutely no artifacts or historic evidence to support the Book of Mormon on this subject.

    Archeology verifies people, places and the culture of the Bible. But there is nothing whatsoever in archeology to support this Mormon claim.

    The Smithsonian Institution has issued a statement that “Smithsonian archeologists see no direct connection between the archeology of the New World and the subject matter in ‘The Book of Mormon’ “.
    www.concernedchristians.org/library/topical/smithsonian.html
    www.knowtruth.com/untruth/mormonism/mormonism_and_bible.htm

    Mormons believe there are three parts of heaven:
    Telestial Kingdom;
    Terrestrial Kingdom; and
    Celestial Kingdom. Work your way to becoming a God. When you achieve Godhood you then inherit your own universe.

    Christians believe that Christian work is done out of gratitude and to support the Christian Church, But works are not the means of being saved.

    Mormon suicide rate is among the highest in the U.S.
    (People are frustrated with not being able to achieve the perfect life in hope of achieving Godhood)

    Everyone goes to one of the three Kingdoms (even Hitler, etc). But only through works can one reach the celestial kingdom.

    Summary of LDS teachings:
    LDS are the only true authorized Church;
    You can become a God just like the God of the Bible and rule over your own universe.
    God is an exalted man with many wives; Jesus Christ is just one of the kids by one of these wives.
    The Bible only tells part of the story; other books are needed.
    All people go to a “nice’ place at death (that is, there is no Hell and eternal damnation);
    Jesus + good works = salvation

    phil_t to phil_t

    I located Roy in Obama’s Genealogy (from Wikipedia..)

    Malik Obama
    Barack Obama’s half-brother, also known as Abongo or Roy, born c. March, 1958,[86] son of Barack Obama, Sr. with his first wife, Kezia.[90] Malik Obama was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya.[91] He earned a degree in accounting from the University of Nairobi.[92] He met his half-brother for the first time in 1985[91] when Barack flew from Chicago to Washington, D.C. to visit him.[93] Malik and his half-brother Barack were best men at each other’s weddings.[91] Barack Obama brought his wife Michelle to Kenya three years later, and they met with Malik again while Barack was introducing Michelle to many other new relatives.[94]

    Although much of the Obama family has dispersed throughout Kenya and overseas, most, including Malik Obama, still considered their rural village on the shores of Lake Victoria to be their true home, and feel that those who have left the village have become culturally “lost”.[95] A frequent visitor to the United States,[94] and consultant in Washington, D.C. for several months per year,[91] he nevertheless settled in the Obamas’ ancestral home, Nyang’oma Kogelo, a village of several hundred people that he prefers to the city for its slow pace.[91] He runs a small electronics shop a half hour drive outside of town.[91]

    View the entire immigration file here http://www.scribd.com/doc/54015762/Barack-Hussein-Obama-Sr-Immigration-File

    Boston Globe has concealed the 55-page Immigration file since early 2009, likely before Obama was sworn in as President.

    On page 35, On 31 Aug 1961, Obama signs an INS document saying he's married, to "Ann S. Dunham, Honolulu, Hawaii", but the section listing children is blank. So 27 days after Barack II was born, "Dad" conveniently omits any acknowledgement of Barack II. By not listing Obama II, he denied him as his son just 27 days after Barack II's birth.

    Note: Obama Sr's SS # 575-44-4342, for those researching Obama-related SSN's.

    Per the 31 Aug 1961 and also the 24 July 1060 INS I-20 forms, Obama Sr was born 18 June 1934; he was already age 27 on 4 Aug 1961. As of 31 Aug 61, his citizenship was Great Britain. Several other documents also show the 18 Jun 1934 DOB, including his Alien Registration Fingerprint Charts. So in Nov 1960, when Obama was conceived, Stanley Ann was 17, and Obama Sr was 26 yrs 5 months.

    There's an interesting July 17, 1964 note describing how a parent of a 27-year-old woman (apparently in Cambridge, Mass) wanted to marry Obama, and her father (in an attempt to prevent the marriage) complained to the INS that Obama had overstayed his student visa.

    Although there is mention in these documents of Ann Dunham as Obama's wife, and Government and Harvard officials note a child (Barack II) living in Hawaii, no wheres does Barack Senior acknowledge Barack II as a son. In fact, On document 27, on 17 Aug 1962, Obama identifies his only child as being Roy Obama. I don't think Barack II has ever been referred to as Roy, so how does Roy fit into the puzzle? And if Barack Senior does not acknowledge Barack II as his son, this leaves open the question of whether someone else was in-fact Barack II's father. Stanley Ann Dunham could have simply named Barack Obama Sr as the father, for the birth certificate Obama released last week, thus concealing the identity of the real father.

    The British Government has released records indicating that they are in possession of Barack II's half-brother George's DNA. Some enterprising investigator might wish to consider comparing George's DNA with Barack II's DNA.

    The Boston Globe is a part of the New York Times organization. How many other newspapers knew about the Immigration file, but concealed it for two years? And what other documents are the Mainstream media deliberately withholding to protect Obama?

    I had the same problem, of google search links taking me to url’s different from what I expected or wanted.

    Another Freeper, so_real, described an “Add-on” called “xulrunner” as a likely source of the problem. I found that I had that add-on installed; I disabled it and the Google redirect virus disappeared.

    My thanks to you for describing the problem and to fellow freeper so_real for solving an irritating problem.

    I can recommend an alternative browser named Wyzo (free at wyzo.com). I often use Firefox and Wyzo concurrently recently, as Firefox 3.6.16 has become such a memory hog and also running slow.

    A friend switched over to Firefox 4, and notes that the TabsManager add-on is no longer necessary, as this functionality (which I love) is now a part of FF4.

  • Ashton Kutcher claims George W. Bush Snubbed Him at Superbowl

    phil_t to Justaham

    I’d say George Bush simply doesn’t know what/who an Ashton Kutcher is. Why would George Bush have any reason to recognize the name?

    The better question is.. Why would Ashton Kutcher think that George Bush would have any reason to recognize the name?

    What contribution to the world has Mr. Kutcher made? From what little I know of him, he seems like a self-centered over-paid individual; twenty years from now will anyone even recognize Kutcher’s name?

    Merely because Kutcher was able to gain access to a Super Bowl Box doesn’t make Kutcher worthy of any special greeting by Bush. Furthermore, what might Bush have in common with Kutcher for Bush to discuss, apart from the game in-progress in front of them?
