It's easy to feel vain about the look of your hair, especially if you
have concerns over visible thinning and hair loss. Yet, some men don't
seem bothered by their receding hair lines or shiny scalp, and embrace
their baldness instead by shaving their heads completely. Is going bald
with so much enthusiasm really a good idea, or is it better to consider
treatment for your hair loss instead?<br />
<strong>The History of Baldness</strong><br />
Planned baldness, or <a href="http://www.onlinehairguide.com/bald.html">shaving your head for the sake of fashion</a>, has been in style just about since the dawn of time.<br />
<ul>
<li>In ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece, shaved heads were not uncommon
and were even preferred. Egyptians then wore stylish wigs over their
shaved heads for the blunt-cut black hairdo that so epitomizes this
culture's fashion history. Priests in Egypt took this concept even
further by removing all hair via plucking, including facial and body
hair. </li>
<li> During the reign of King Louis XIII of France, his premature
baldness (at the tender age of just 23) led to a new fashion craze: the
elaborate, curly-haired wig. Wigs soon became a status symbol in their
own right, as evidenced by most of the royalty throughout Europe as well
as the first American presidents.</li>
</ul>
Baldness wasn't always the height of status and fashion, however. In
fact, a number of cultures viewed shaving the head as a punishment or
penance, which is why so many prisoners are seen with bald heads in
historical photos and etchings. Other cultures shaved their heads in
times of mourning to show their grief as well as giving respect to their
loved ones. And even very recently, a Japanese pop star shaved her head
to show her contrition for violating the rules of her band, begging
forgiveness for her transgressions.<br />
<strong>Baldness as Fashion Trend</strong><br />
These days, more men are likely to shave their heads and flaunt a
shiny skull rather than covering up with a wig afterwards. Stars like
Bruce Willis, Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad and Vin Diesel have all
made headlines with their squeaky clean look that has become synonymous
with the tough guy persona. Even more elegant actors like Patrick
Stewart, Ben Kingsley and Stanley Tucci are recognizable by their
characteristic hair - or lack thereof.<br />
Whether as a deliberate fashion statement or natural occurrence,
there's no denying that baldness is a very distinctive look. As such, it
might not be right for everyone. For men who don't want to resort to
the buff action star look, <a href="http://www.onlinehairguide.com/">Propecia</a>
offers a simple solution that not only prevents active hair loss, but
also encourages regrowth even in dormant hair follicles. Rogaine offers
another treatment option: a cream that needs to be applied twice daily
for maximum effect instead of coming in pill form like Propeica. If
you're not quite ready to commit to going bald, there are plenty of
options to keep the hair you have.Esteban Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14548641632756605187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927464764649283683.post-3026393197998092292014-01-13T07:44:00.002-08:002014-01-13T07:44:08.850-08:00Mold and Home Insurance Quotes Many stories have arisen about homeowners and mold populations that
grew to insane proportions. Some people take these sorts of stories for
granted, but those looking into getting home insurance have found their
<a href="http://www.chooseinsuronline.com/">home insurance quotes</a> rise due to its influence. The truth of the matter is mold is a large problem and affects many homes.<br />
Beyond simple property damage, mold can cause a host of other
problems. Many types of mold can affect the health of you and your
family, and in some cases it can be fatal. Mold reproduces by releasing
tiny bits of it called spores. These spores can enter the body though
any opening, but most commonly infect the lungs though the repertory
system. This causes many people to look for insurance policy that can
cover mold infestation, but this is a dangerous prospect to many home
insurance companies. Due to the ways that mold reproduces, an outbreak
of mold can claim many houses very quickly and can cause the number of
claims to skyrocket. This makes companies very wary about <a href="http://www.chooseinsuronline.com/mold.html">covering homes in mold prone areas</a>.
Mold growth can cause a number of problems to a home including
discoloration, weakening of the structure, and can contribute to foul
smells coming from the home.<br />
When looking for home insurance quotes you can look for companies
that offer "buy-back" endorsements that are sort of limited mold
insurance. This usually will cause your home insurance quotes to rise
if you look for this option, but if you are in an area where mold is
common then it may be vital. Other companies have a mold cleanup
service that will clear out mold populations, and attempt to repair the
damage the mold has done rather than simply pay out a settlement.<br />
As a homeowner knowing about how mold grows and where it likes to
live can help you prevent the need to mold coverage on your home
insurance quotes. Preventative measures taken against mold can keep
your home in tiptop shape even without mold coverage on your home
insurance quotes.<br />
<strong>Mold Tips</strong><br />
<ol>
<li> Keeping your humidity in the home between 30-50% can help inhibit mold production </li>
<li>Ventilation in any attic or crawl spaces will prevent stagnate air that becomes a breeding ground for mold. </li>
<li> Cold surfaces such as windows and pipes should be well insulated to keep the moisture from providing an entry point for mold. </li>
<li>Any plumbing problems should be solved as soon as the crop up.
Plumbing problems are a haven for mold and can end up causing far more
damage than initial thoughts might suggest. </li>
</ol>

If they have not the fortitude, the courage, or love of country to do this, they along with Obama are equally complicit in the Death of Ambassador Chris Stevens - killed earlier this week when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya occurred. This was no less than a terrorist act of war perpetrated upon American soil by Radical Islamist’s, and Egyptians, along with similar acts of terror played out in other American Embassies around the world since by these same entities. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">All political correctness aside, Obama’s apology tours, blaming a movie, a presidential candidate, going on David Letterman’s show as an excuse for not meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister, are appalling examples of ineptitude, all disrespectful acts, that mock the highest office of our Land, they should anger most all true Citizens of America. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am calling upon my friends to send this message to their representatives, as I am; I would hope this message would go viral. I know many like you are outraged by our President, as well as many in the Democratic Party who condone, or try to spin what is in truth, a cowardly display or attempt at appeasement, and apologies at the highest levels of Government. Shame on them!!!!!!!!!!! Damn them to Hell. Barack Hussain Obama is the most disgraceful President America has ever experienced; he deserves throughout future generations to be remembered as such. <o:p></o:p></span></div></div>Esteban Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14548641632756605187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927464764649283683.post-68941274425207936212012-09-14T07:30:00.000-07:002012-09-23T19:45:58.206-07:00Fumble<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ9TPZvw4XlVPVVzbb32Vutq5LmD3SB_8Iv0viRcn00dhtVflFdeUtXO04BU9upnvEjo2ZjAMuBIluHqOmeqxoz5HExmjxR0H2nl7XVJu5ArkTCXKs1HGhdYselco0QMn-FidE-uiqIoI/s1600/bryant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ9TPZvw4XlVPVVzbb32Vutq5LmD3SB_8Iv0viRcn00dhtVflFdeUtXO04BU9upnvEjo2ZjAMuBIluHqOmeqxoz5HExmjxR0H2nl7XVJu5ArkTCXKs1HGhdYselco0QMn-FidE-uiqIoI/s200/bryant.jpg" width="138" /></a></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Fumble</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kevin Bryant</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Oh My, what a shocker…..Obama fumbled again. </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The anniversary of 9/11 draws near, the anniversary of the most cowardly act ever perpetrated on the United States and where was Obama? </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m sure more information will come out about the attacks on the US embassy and consulate that took place on the 11<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>anniversary of 9/11 as well as the attacks and protests that have started since 9/11/2012; however one thing is certain, Obama fumbled it.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obama missed every intelligence briefing for a week leading up to 9/11/2012.

According to a white house spokesperson, he was completely up to date because he read the daily briefings. First off, briefing papers are just that, a brief summary of the day’s events and analysis. Briefs are not designed to get you up to speed on a subject.

According to eyewitnesses, these attacks were well coordinated military style attacks. In Libya, the attackers primary target was to take out the security detail. Once completed, they immediately went after the “safe area” where all the staff was to assemble to be transferred to safe houses. Once the attackers gained control of the premises, they immediately went to specific rooms and gathered important documents, computers and other items of national security interest.

Today the picture is very different, the President has pandered to the “Arab World” and surprisingly or not, nothing much has changed. Obviously President Obama’s “hope and change” campaign didn’t impress the Muslim nations, and why would it?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Warring factions within their own religion swear violence within their own people. Violence as we know it has no bounds in the Islamic religion, the murder continues unabated throughout the world. Obama continually claims that Islam isn’t our enemy and yet terrorism by Islamic terrorists continues at a scale unfathomable just 12 years ago. We are no safer than we were just 4 years ago, in fact the world is a far more dangerous place to live.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Civilized people see discourse voiced in the way of protests. Muslims see discourse voiced in the way of murder. Disagree with the western world lop the head off a Jewish reporter and show it brazenly to the media. People on the left see the world through rose colored glasses and through politically correct eyes and encourage coexistence and patience. Meanwhile in the real world people are dying because the enemy hides amongst us and pretends to be our friend further entrenching the militants into our society. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ambassador Christopher Stevens had a utopian view of the world stage and trusted Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton………..he thought world peace was obtainable. The problem was that he was Ambassador in one of the world’s worst Islamic hot spots of the world. The pictures of his dragged corpse are hard to take and the politically correct factions in America say “take those pictures off Facebook we are better than that.” Unfortunately the path we have chosen to this point so far has yielded the result we got yesterday………..death to the civilized world. The pictures are hard to take yes, but they are yet a grim reminder that the rest of the world doesn’t play by our rules.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So the question is……do we continue to placate the barbarian attitudes of the Middle East or do we fight back? Do we continue down the path of allowing the Muslim World to set our foreign policy? Hillary merely repeated the same old talking point that liberals have used since Carter………….”it’s just a few people that perpetrated this crime.” Or do we actually stand up for something and say……….”it’s NOT ok to indiscriminately kill people.” And furthermore, future actions like this will be met with swift and deadly force.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">America is tired of being the punching bag of the world we are tired of the demands in the UN of 56 Muslim controlled countries. We scoff at the appointment of Muslim countries to the UN Human Rights Commissions. Regardless whether or not they are radical extremists or run of the mill Muslims, they exemplify EVERY human rights violation possible.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We NEED new leadership in this country, one that sides with Israel, one that recognizes human rights violations when they see it.

They knew, for all their understanding that they needed to rely upon a source greater than their own wisdom, if they were to accomplish the task before them worthy of the Peoples trust. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the words of George Washington “The power under the Constitution will always be in the People.” He went on to say: “A primary object…should be the education of our youth in the science of government. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? and what duty more pressing…than…communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?” 1796</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are those who advocate that our founders were deist, advocates of a universal religion absent the influence of God. So today’s DNC would have you believe. This could not be more untrue. Again, from the writings of George Washington, the Father of our American Republic said these words: “I am sure there never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the Unite States; and I would be pained to believe, that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God, who is alone able to protect them.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot convince or begin to persuade everyone who reads my column to see what I see or feel the passion I do for my country, what I do hope is that you will look deeply into your individual hearts and choose to make a truly informed vote come this November. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am a Latter Day Saint, The scripture above comes from what I believe is revealed from our Savior Jesus Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It reads in part: “And now, verily I say unto you concerning the laws of the land, it is my will that my people should observe to do all things whatsoever I command them.

Many at that point thought Carter was shoe-in for reelection. Over the period of August – October, Reagan steam rolled him. Roll forward to July, 2012, in Missouri John Bruner and Sarah Steeleman were in a virtual tie for the republican nomination to challenge Claire MacCaskill for the United States senate. Each polling in the high 30’s to low 40’s with Congressman Todd Akin bringing up the rear somewhere around 12 – 15%. In three weeks time, Todd Akin goes from dead last and out of contention to soundly defeating both Steeleman and Bruner. Last time I checked, Todd Akin isn’t even close to being in the same league as Ronald Reagan. </span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Claire MacCaskill at the time was polling almost 10 point behind both Bruner and Steeleman and was in within the margin of error against Akin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now Aunt Claire is ahead of and pulling away from Todd Akin. What I and so many others here in Missouri would like to know is what really happened in those three weeks leading up to that primary. </span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">What we know: Todd Akin is a congressman from the St. Louis area but is almost a complete unknown in the rest of the state. Claire MacCaskill was able to defeat Jim Talent for her senate seat because of an extremely strong showing in the St. Louis area, where she received almost 80% of the vote. Jim Talent took the rest of the state. John Bruner and Sarah Steeleman split almost every section of the state except for St. Louis. Steeleman and Bruner finished with less than 3000 votes separating them but Todd Akin managed to defeat them both by almost 10,000 votes though he finished last in 80% of Missouri’s counties. Todd Akin was outspent outside of the St. Louis metro almost 40 to 1 by the combination of Bruner and Steeleman. Todd Akin literally had no money to spend outside of the St. Louis area. </span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">What we all saw: The MacCaskill campaign shot multiple radio and TV ads opposing all three candidates though hardly any of those against Steeleman or Bruner ever made it on the air. In fact, 95% of her advertisement opposing Steeleman and Bruner was pulled from the Kansas City & Springfield areas by the third week of June, 7 weeks before the election and we got bombarded with “Don’t Vote Todd Akin” ads. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Questions:</span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">1)</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">How does someone who is virtually unknown outside of St. Louis manage to gain 25 percentage points in 21 days spending almost no money and making less than 5 appearances outside of St. Louis.?</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">2)</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">How did Claire MacCaskill know to keep on running ads against Todd Akin and to stop running them against the two frontrunners?</span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Just two weeks ago (by the time you read this), Todd Akin, a very seasoned politician, goes on television and makes a speaking error of such enormous proportion that it would actually blow the minds of people if that size mistake was made by someone running for the position of local dogcatcher.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No politician outside of Joe Biden is THAT dumb.</span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Todd Akin now has no money, very little in state support, no out of state support, no backing from the RNC, no vote of confidence from the Romney-Ryan campaign, two candidates who can both raise money and defeat MacCaskill waiting in the wings and he refuses to step down as the party’s candidate for the U.S. senate. Every republican power player in the state has requested he step aside.

This never stopped the flow of money to this group, only slowed it for a short time.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am the state that once viewed gambling as evil and a tax on the poor while Maryland had a Republican Governor, but quickly enacted a law that allowed slot machines, and is now on a fast track to include full scale gambling through the legislature.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I was once a state that viewed “fees” were taxes but now accepts them as fees rather than taxes, because their Democratic Governor said so.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am the state whose two senators survive by earmarks and proudly extoll their use as benefiting the people of the state.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am the state that is increasing its Democratic control through a blatant gerrymandering process that if successful will secure democratic control for decades to come.

Many of us voice them whether they are solicited or not. It’s just human nature to have them and quite often our opinions do not match those around us. Most everything I write here is opinion and sometimes you agree with me and sometimes you don’t. When I state an opinion I do try to clarify my position. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fall way short of the measure but at least you get some sense of how I arrived at it. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m going to touch on a few subjects today that are “taboo”. Why are they taboo? It’s because political correctness has gone too far in America to allow for free and open discussion on the subjects. As a nation we are so afraid of hurting someone’s feelings, we have almost forgotten how to be truthful with one another. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For far too long “political correctness” has turned people into victims. If you say welfare turns people into slaves of the government, people pretend to be offended by the use of the word slave. Liberal blacks even scold conservative blacks for using the term slave or slavery in the same context that I just did yet, and correct me if I am wrong, I believe it’s less than 15% of all blacks in America can trace their roots or their ancestry to slavery. Why is it an offensive word? It is because race baiting individuals like Emanuel Cleaver, James Clyburn, Sheila Jackson, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and a host of others are making money off blacks by portraying blacks as victims of society. According to all them, whites in America are inherently racist against blacks and even saying the word slavery no matter the context with which it is used is offensive. If anyone has a right to be sensitive to the word slavery, it’s Jews. Blacks were slaves for what, approximately a couple of hundred years, Jews were slaves for a couple of thousands of years yet they don’t complain about it. They don’t try to use it to gain something for nothing. They say white people in America are racist towards blacks. Sorry Jesse, Al and company, the world has been racist against the Jews almost since the dawn of man. When blacks in America reach the same level of racism the Jews have endured, then I will stand beside you and defend your stance. Until that day arrives, no way will I ever classify you as a victim. There is not one black in America that has does not have the opportunity to succeed in this country if they are willing to put forth the same effort it takes a white person of equal stature.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“The federal government should make gay marriage legal in the United States”. I hear that one a lot. Why should the federal government even have a say in the issue. Most gays believe that heterosexuals are prejudice against them. They have been conditioned to believe this by the Fred Phelps of the world. The institution of marriage has been around longer than the Bible and the Quran. Both state marriage is between a man and a woman. The only difference is the Bible does not teach that gays should be stoned to death. Most heterosexuals do not have a problem with civil unions or any other ceremony that unites same sex couples except when the term “marriage” is used. I personally do not have a problem with same sex couples but I, like many others do have a problem calling it a marriage. Marriage was instituted by God through his teachings. The Bible, which has certainly been around longer than any federal government of any country has defined marriage as the union between a man and a woman. It was the government who saw potential profit and made people get a license to get married. My opinion, call it anything you want, just don’t call it a marriage because it does not fit the historical or religious definition of the word and since the word originated within religion, I don’t believe the government has a right to trample it. If the people vote to allow it to be called a marriage in their state, then I will support the states decision, but to have just a state legislature or some judge sitting on a bench decides to make it a law, I will oppose it.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Why is it that roughly 95% of all “hate crimes” that are prosecuted committed by white people? If a white man shoots a black man it’s a hate crime. If a Hispanic shoots a white man it’s not a hate crime. If a black shoots a Hispanic, it’s not a hate crime. I believe if anyone shoots another in a manner other than self defense, it’s a hate crime. If one man beats up another it’s most likely a hate crime. Why is there even a race factor involved? Hate is hate and crime is crime. If Lady Justice is supposed to be blind, why are we making her open her eyes to see what color of skin the people involved are? Hate crime legislation is nothing more than affirmative action for court cases. It does nothing but promote racial differences and further divide us as a nation.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then there is illegal immigration. The laws concerning illegal immigration in this country is quite clear. The final draft of the constitution states “We The People of the United States”. The constitution was established by and for the citizens of the United States. Nowhere in the constitution do you find the word Mexico. If you aren’t here legally, get out. Come back legally, become a productive member of society <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and I will welcome you to this country with open arms. My ancestors came here legally, they became citizens legally, they adapted to America and did not try to make America adapt to them and their beliefs. Those here illegally insult us as a nation, they insult those that died forming and defending this nation and they mock us as a nation. Those who like to proclaim America stole California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and parts of other states, here is my reply. Mexico started a war with the U.S., Mexico lost. In order for Mexico to continue to be a sovereign nation, they ceded territory instead of having the U.S. army come in and take everything from them. If you don’t like it, go back to Mexico, become El Presidente, declare war on the U.S. and take it all back. Until then, get out of my country and should you choose to come back, do it legally.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There is always going to be differences of opinions.

Usually it’s something about going back and practicing the basics of the game. Your child is having problems with algebra like I did, go back to the basics. It seems simple I theory but in reality sometimes it’s a royal pain to put into practice. We get so caught up in the way we put our own little spin on things that we just can’t seem to let them go, slow down and be willing to start over. </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Have you ever had a new boss who comes in and the first thing they want to do is change the way things are done? Doesn’t matter if it’s the processes you use or the contractors and vendors you have always used. Sometimes it’s the brand of coffee in the break-room because he or she likes something different. Welcome to the United States Government</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The government has gotten so far off the track of what it is and how it’s supposed to operate that those who grew up in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s don’t even recognize it. The great equalizer of big oppressive government is supposed to be the supreme court, but as we have witnessed over the past couple of decades is even they have forgotten what their specific role in government is. </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There is no magic reset button we can hit. There is no quick fix to right a stray government. It will take a generation to fix all that is wrong with government, and the only way to fix it is to return it back to the basics of what it was meant to be.</span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lawyers make up almost all of congress and almost all the presidents we have had over the last century. Go back 200 years ago and who do you find in those positions of power? You have land owners, merchants, businessmen, farmers, ranchers ………..the actual job creators. Anyone who tells you government is not a business is only fooling themselves. The U.S. Government is the biggest business enterprise in the world. Lawyers don’t run business, they regulate business. Lawyers don’t work the land, they regulate its usage. Putting a lawyer in charge of the government is closely related to putting prisoners in charge of the prison.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Justice Roberts the other day described accurately how to get the government back to basics, you fire the people in place and you hire new ones. The federal government refuses to regulate itself. It refuses to abide by the laws it creates yet holds us accountable when we act just like them .…. the lawyers. Lawyers were meant to interpret and defend the law, not make the law. Vote every one of them out of office.</span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Resetting the government back to basics will take a minimum of 24 years. America needs to be united and committed if they want their country back from the lawyers who control it. Lawyers are referred to as snakes for a reason. This should not be a conservative or a liberal idea but an American idea. Who is better suited to teach your children, someone committed to teaching children because it is their passion or someone who does it but is committed to the teacher’s union? Who is better to take in money, account for the money and spend the money, accountants, business leaders and economist or lawyers? Who is better to decide the path of a business like the government, a CEO or a lawyer? </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We all need to dedicate 2012 as the beginning of getting back to basics and taking our government back and the best way to start is taking it out of the hands of the lawyers who control it. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br /></div></div>Esteban Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14548641632756605187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927464764649283683.post-88492176738166548542012-07-02T07:00:00.000-07:002012-09-23T19:45:58.231-07:00Groups Obama Does Not Like<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdkR56oce29INLSZtkaRZW1NxKTlrpZBF8jMuwlPymqg0wQKsZ4nLlemqmi7TvvhtihE_Xd-xDDPCfRCx05QX0sL-CA_mI7z85PR1cxfmQNOlebQqvxRH6ugrS_VpDOXjMOTDmDAYBTok/s1600/bryant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdkR56oce29INLSZtkaRZW1NxKTlrpZBF8jMuwlPymqg0wQKsZ4nLlemqmi7TvvhtihE_Xd-xDDPCfRCx05QX0sL-CA_mI7z85PR1cxfmQNOlebQqvxRH6ugrS_VpDOXjMOTDmDAYBTok/s200/bryant.jpg" width="138" /></a><script type="text/javascript">var _sttoolbar = {} </script><script src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/stblogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">stBlogger.init("http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=5e3e4f5d-6934-4097-b1a4-ebaa6a882f87&type=blogger&popup=true&embeds=true"); </script> <br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Groups Obama Does Not Like</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kevin Bryant</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are not too many people in America that Obama likes. You never see him golf (100 rounds and counting) with anyone but his close knit circle members. Dick Cheney may have shot his friend but at least he has friends to hang out with. </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obama doesn’t like white middle class America. David Axelrod stated on the Sunday talk shows some time back that the Obama campaign was not going to try and go after white working class America. I wonder why? Since Obama has taken office, the value of my house has dropped roughly 23%. My gross household income has dropped 42% and my disposable income as dropped over 70%. All this and I am one of the lucky ones, I can still afford (barely) to make my house payments and all the bills that come with ownership. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obama doesn’t like Hispanics. Not a single member of his inner circle is Hispanic? Not one member of his cabinet is Hispanic. Not one of his 30 something czars were Hispanic. Carter, Reagan, Bush 41 & 43 and Clinton all had Hispanics either in their inner circle or as members of their cabinet. He proved this when he signed his executive order granting what truly is amnesty to all those here illegally between the age of 18 & 30. He basically told those who are here illegally, “You people are suckers for going though the system”. If I were a legal immigrant I would be totally ticked off for rewarding those didn’t come here legally while I invested time, money and effort to do what was right. </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obama doesn’t like lower middle class and poor blacks. If he did, he wouldn’t allow those here illegally to take jobs away from you. Blacks have the highest unemployment rate of all and the gap has actually increased between blacks and whiles since Obama took office. </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obama absolutely hates Christians & Jews. This so called war on women is actually a war on Christianity. Obama calls himself a Christian but takes “Separation of Church & State” to mean “Total Separation of Christian Churches From State”. To hell with Catholics, to hell with Jews, to hell with Protestants, but according to Obama we must not offend the Muslims or the Islamic religion. It might cause bad relations between our nations. I thing, 9/11, burning of American flags and bibles, the killing of innocent Christians and a host of other terrorist attacks on non-Muslims already did that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obama HATES the Constitution. On multiple occasions before he took office, he has stated the constitution gets in the way of government. “Hey Obama, that’s what it is supposed to do”. Since taking office, he has circumvented it, ignored it, insulted it and dismissed it. The once self proclaimed constitutional scholar gets infuriated when anyone mentions that he, his ideology and the office he holds is not more powerful than the laws of this land of the constitution that this country is founded on. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The only things that put a sparkle in his eyes is power, money, power, socialism, power, communism, power, obedience from others, power, expanding the Muslim faith, power, marginalizing Christianity and the constitution and last but not least, power. Look at his eyes when he talks about the power of the office of president and his kids. His eyes don’t light up nearly as much when he talks about his kids. </span></div></div>Esteban Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14548641632756605187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927464764649283683.post-11078901013026038902012-06-29T07:00:00.000-07:002012-09-23T19:45:58.144-07:00Obamacare confirmed by Conservative Chief Justice<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO1HsQMxN3hgp9sE6qISjcEOplXyjTDj7B8etHxYJzcscubpNCpsKnzBm3CIU0Psb8iNHgRy0IEDmR_ttdQLuTcU0Sc3JJhr8hMrCcaRLp0whHu3LSDqQUfTj7PCv9-pmvf2eOkCb0iI4/s1600/mepic001crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO1HsQMxN3hgp9sE6qISjcEOplXyjTDj7B8etHxYJzcscubpNCpsKnzBm3CIU0Psb8iNHgRy0IEDmR_ttdQLuTcU0Sc3JJhr8hMrCcaRLp0whHu3LSDqQUfTj7PCv9-pmvf2eOkCb0iI4/s200/mepic001crop.jpg" width="162" /></a></div><script type="text/javascript">var _sttoolbar = {} </script><script src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/stblogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">stBlogger.init("http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=5e3e4f5d-6934-4097-b1a4-ebaa6a882f87&type=blogger&popup=true&embeds=true"); </script> <br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obamacare confirmed by Conservative Chief Justice</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Al Ritter</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Chief Justice John Roberts is a turncoat?

What swayed the conservative Chief Justice to ignore the stick in the eye that Obama and his cronies have constantly poked in the last three years? Constant violations of the Constitution haven’t been enough for this jurist? Forget the fact that he is the lead Supreme Court Judge, wouldn’t he already know that Justice Kagen was the solicitor general and had argued the case FOR Obamacare on the Whitehouse side and SHOULD have recused herself in this matter.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He had to know that by not recusing herself the Obama Administration would already have a handicap in favor of the issue!</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He voiced his concern about taking money from Medicare, but yet basically gave his ok………….really?......Why would he do such a thing?

I have been occupied working on my house lately, and to be honest I’ve been pretty disgusted with what I’ve been reading about Obama and his band of criminals surrounding the Whitehouse. This whole stonewalling from the Whitehouse on the investigation of “Operation Fast and Furious” in which Holder has lied several times on whose watch this program was created is totally infuriating to me.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As of today he has refused to supply 70% of the subpoenaed materials. It would be one thing if it was true that Darrel Issa were on a witch hunt, but the facts remain that he IS the standing chairman and investigative head to monitor illegal and questionable actions of government. The death of a border agent is anything BUT a witch hunt! It’s past time (over a year) and the Terry family has no closure and even fewer answers about who or who’s responsible for their son’s death.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Holder basically begged Obama to invoke Executive Privilege to keep 70% of those documents hidden. Holder tried to craft a deal with Issa to provide him with information (spoken) but not the actual documents subpoenaed material with the return promise to drop the entire investigation! Issa declared there was a no deal and moved to level a Congressional Contempt charge vote as early as next week.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Even bipartisan members want answers, and they will surely get them at some point. If the Congress levels a vote of contempt of congress, the next move will be to have him criminally charged. Whether or not this gets that far, one can bet that not only is Holder’s position in question, his entire future livelihood be in question. </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The $64,000 question is why did Obama step in and not only involve himself in this controversy, but invoke Executive Privilege when the information requested didn’t involve National Security issues? Democratic pundits seem to think that this won’t make a bit of difference in the November election. I disagree…..I think the closer we get to the election people will remember his most recent lies and cover-ups. If you add this HUGE misstep to all the past lies……………and if the Supreme Court shoots down Obamacare and upholds Arizona’s SB 1070, you will see a real game changer as some of his base will surely erode, and some of those “undecideds” vote to unseat him!</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Soon I will be back in full force for November, but until then, keep your powder dry, and ready the pitchforks!<o:p></o:p></span></div></div>Esteban Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14548641632756605187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927464764649283683.post-87381727151824726182012-06-18T07:30:00.000-07:002012-09-23T19:45:58.226-07:00Dear Patriots<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPs7yNP2jcICGzhBwhKUP-kVUWT1_Gz_ZdSCEK1dgpvKifxlssH7rOZzpAqk7ACpb14OBGa9CftFg287FytQDFxptFaM5d9B63_p85ydDGtZfCgFIJi3l0JWwHRPvyds7V0lnfT6SQePw/s1600/burmer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPs7yNP2jcICGzhBwhKUP-kVUWT1_Gz_ZdSCEK1dgpvKifxlssH7rOZzpAqk7ACpb14OBGa9CftFg287FytQDFxptFaM5d9B63_p85ydDGtZfCgFIJi3l0JWwHRPvyds7V0lnfT6SQePw/s1600/burmer.jpg" /></a><script type="text/javascript">var _sttoolbar = {} </script><script src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/stblogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">stBlogger.init("http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=5e3e4f5d-6934-4097-b1a4-ebaa6a882f87&type=blogger&popup=true&embeds=true"); </script> <br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear Patriots:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Grant Burmer</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some years ago I was able to store an original copy, or text, of the Proclamation for the 1849 California Constitution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the time of its publication for ratification the official delegates were located in Monterey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brevet, Brigadier General Bennett Riley was then, Territorial Governor of California, with headquarter in San Jose. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The process of Ratification by the People of California took place in November 1849 and by the first week of December election returns started coming in.

President Obama is going to have people voting for him because they want to continue getting their government handouts. Some will vote for him simply because he is black. Still others will vote for him because they don’t like George Bush (some people are so stupid they shouldn’t be allowed to vote).

I was about to pass them but I caught site of the Ron Paul sticker on the back glass, so I just rode behind him for a few seconds. While I was behind them, the thought of Sec. of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano popped into my head. As I finally passed the couple on the pickup, I noticed they were likely in their mid to late 70’s. <br /><br />Why would I think of Janet Napolitano? Well, I had an idea of the type of people in the pickup in front of me and reflecting back on her department’s statement that the most likely domestic terrorist are white, own guns and have Ron Paul bumper stickers on their vehicles. This couple didn't look like terrorist to me. They looked more like someone I would I would like to have living next door to me. <br /><br />“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic”. <br /><br />I have taken that oath multiple times in my life just as every retired or multiple hitch veteran has done. Problem is, who are the real Domestic Terrorist? Janet Napolitano and the majority of the Obama administration would like us to believe that the 70+ year old couple that I saw driving on U.S. Highway 50 on Sunday is a likely domestic terrorist and enemy of the United States. Which is more likely to have breached the limits of the constitution, the couple I saw driving or Janet Napolitano? Who is more likely to violate mine and your constitutional rights, the elder couple or Janet Napolitano? Who is trying to control our lives, the elderly couple or Janet Napolitano? <br /><br />Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security and another Obama yes person flunky. I am of the opinion there are more Domestic Terrorist on the federal government payroll in Washington DC, by either election or appointment, who mean to do us harm and strip this nation of the constitution than there are in all 50 states combined. <br /><br />Here is one question the elderly couple would be the correct answer to……. Who would I trust more standing behind the barrel of a loaded rifle fighting FOR this country and what it supposed to stand for, the elderly couple or Janet Napolitano? <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript">var _sttoolbar = {} </script><script src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/stblogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">stBlogger.init("http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=5e3e4f5d-6934-4097-b1a4-ebaa6a882f87&type=blogger&popup=true&embeds=true");

What really bothers me the most is how you continually claim your participation as “I did this, or I did that.” Let’s face it you gave the final go ahead and then you watched on TV like everyone else in the situation room. It wasn’t your bullet that ended his life it was a bullet from one of OUR brave SEALS. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Can’t we just agree to describe the actions that night as……”the SEALS won and we watched?”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What really gets my goat is the fact that you have used the attack that night as a reason to re-elect you? You have turned this into a political football that you somehow feel the need to keep spiking week after week! How about rather than claiming bin Laden’s death as “I got him” and to start claiming that “we got him,” it sure sounds less conceited.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once Osama was killed, you just couldn't keep the news to yourself, you just HAD to report it! 90% of the intel the Seals retrieved became "old intel" the minute you reported it. You had over 200 intel experts working on the huge cache of information you got from Osama's compound, but the were hog tied for time because you were like a little child with a secret! Once it was announced that all the intel grabbed from the compound was now in YOUR grubby little hands, the terrorists abandoned every target, every safe house, every objective because you couldn't keep your damn mouth shut!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On another political football claim, “you gave women free contraceptive” and at the same time have alienated millions of Catholics in the process. Once again you assumed something that was not necessarily so. You were convinced that most Catholic women would support you over their religion. You assumed that because many Catholic women use contraceptives this legislation was a “slam dunk” for your side because your healthcare would pay for it. What you failed to take into account was that those women made that decision on their own and they needed no help from you either morally or financially. The result of your decision was to reduce freedom of religion to a mere footnote of history rather than the milestone of the constitution.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your most recent attack on Catholics has not gone unnoticed. Your intentional intimidation by the State Department when you declared the Vatican as a potential money laundering group is beyond comprehension. This is a clear signal that you want the Catholics to stop fighting you and fall into line or else!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In your words, “I want to make it perfectly clear.” I am not a Catholic but I see your attack as transparent and self-serving.

The case was in New Jersey and was forced by a recent ballot challenge. Alexandra Hill a legal associate with the law firm Genova, Burn,</span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span lang="EN">& Giantomasi Attorneys in Newark, took a desperate attempt at explaining away the fraudulent document by saying that, even though it is a forgery, that alone isn’t enough to say that President Obama isn’t eligible to be President.</span></span></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I can see you are really shaking your head now! Ok follow with me on this twisted logic. Hill explained that his popularity and landslide victory in 2008 alone should be enough to secure his seat as President. Because he never claimed that the birth certificate was the actual legal document that proved his citizenship, the forgery label is a separate issue that has to be decided later. She went on to say that the State of New Jersey in no way describes the qualifications for a candidate to be a prerequisite to being added to the ballot, that requirement rests entirely with the federal verbiage.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br /></div><br /><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The Daily Pen Editor, Penbrook Johannson opines ; “Sadly, regardless of her moral deficiency, Hill is legally justified, Obama’s eligibility is a separate matter than the charges of forgery and fraud. Of course, we have evidence that he is not eligible. But, evidence of forgery by as yet unidentified counterfeiters working on behalf of Obama is not what legally excludes Obama from appearing on a ballot, by itself, until some authority is willing to consider this as evidence of forgery on its merit as an indication of actual ineligibility in a court of legal authority. Until some court of competent jurisdiction is willing to hear evidence of forgery and fraud, you can’t legally punish a political candidate for that crime which has not been proven that they committed. However, since Obama is not eligible because of a lack of authenticated evidence to the contrary, he could be held off the ballot for that reason.”<o:p></o:p></span><br /><br /><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">According to Johannson, there is an overwhelming level of moral certainty that Obama is a usurper, but until a court with jurisdiction considers this case, Obama’s status as a legitimate president is in limbo.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><br /><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Unfortunately Judge Masin denied the motion to remove Obama from the ballot. This all took place on April 10, 2012, this merely takes up precious time and until Obama is found to be an active participant in the presentation of governmental document forgery, the admission will go nowhere.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><br /><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Fortunately this admission lends credibility to Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona’s cold case posse’s report on the birth certificate investigation. It also gives a degree of credibility to all the conservative stalwarts that have claimed from the presentation of this document that it is in fact a forgery.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><br /><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What kind of country uses Supreme Court judges to claim constantly that the American people have “no standing” to question the eligibility of a President, even after his attorney has admitted that the single supporting document has now been declared a forgery? Not one case has been heard on the merits, only denied as to “standing.”<o:p></o:p></span><br /><br /><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It’s about time we ALL stand up and be counted on this issue of a usurper leading our country to destruction!</span><br /><br /><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">UPDATE:<span style="font-size: small;"><strong><em>Judge Jeff S.

Worst is the idea that they have limited our freedom for one person’s benefit…….the President!</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Based on this abusive law of power, Obama this week saw fit to threaten Ted Nugent based on the following comment; “if Obama is reelected within one year I will either be dead or in jail.” Obama has now called out the primary dogs from the secret service to investigate a “threat made on the president.”</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">From the very beginning of this statement I assumed Nugent meant that he felt threatened and would be in fear of his own life or false imprisonment from the Obama Administration if Obama were reelected.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The spin that came from the Whitehouse on this issue was that Nugent inferred that he would be dead because he tried to kill Obama. Now this sure is a far stretch from his actual words. I’ll let you decide what he meant as you listen to his direct words on YouTube.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QL5zmqbuMxo" width="560"></iframe></div>Esteban Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14548641632756605187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927464764649283683.post-13487743193832010752012-04-13T07:30:00.000-07:002012-09-23T19:45:58.148-07:00The REAL War on Women<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><script type="text/javascript">var _sttoolbar = {} </script><script src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/stblogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">stBlogger.init("http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=5e3e4f5d-6934-4097-b1a4-ebaa6a882f87&type=blogger&popup=true&embeds=true"); </script><br /><div dir="ltr"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Cvf_F-VmBRkjLfdMzgeO5WHewuZDTJz05rWSTboaYxfUwDRNvwl1ZR9fX7gywlpu4YMBdRXtiJEYtM5i6E3m1WL45jIlMgZQKxUBKS4CpNsjcH5fwaUcFF0o7TIQXVvbBh4l9rcKlvk/s1600/bryant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Cvf_F-VmBRkjLfdMzgeO5WHewuZDTJz05rWSTboaYxfUwDRNvwl1ZR9fX7gywlpu4YMBdRXtiJEYtM5i6E3m1WL45jIlMgZQKxUBKS4CpNsjcH5fwaUcFF0o7TIQXVvbBh4l9rcKlvk/s320/bryant.jpg" width="222" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The REAL War On Women</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kevin Bryant</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For a while now I have wondered why it costs Sandra Fluke $1000.00 per year for contraceptives when most women pay between $108 - $360 a year? Some pay even less than $100 a year. Seriously, how does she ever plan on finishing law school? Think about it, she is doing at least 10 appearances a month between talk shows and speeches and photo opportunities. That has to take up at least 15 days a month. If her lifestyle demands she must spend $1000 a year on contraceptives, well that’s a lot of time spent in bed or the back of a car. When does she have the time to actually study or attend class? Hey Sandra, I have a great money saving idea for you. If your lifestyle demands that much sex, it would be cheaper if you go out and purchase a 36 count box of condoms once a month and make your partner use when required. Seriously, Wal-Mart sells them for $11.18 a box online. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If someone forces a woman to have sex, it’s rape. If both partners are willing, then both should have to share in the cost and use of protection if they don’t want to have a child. If the guy is not willing to pay for at least half the cost, why on earth would you be having sex with him in the first place??? The war on women’s contraceptive……what a friggin joke. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here is the REAL war on women……… OBAMACARE. Remember democrats passed Obamacare without a single republican voting for it in either house.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most Dr’s recommend women start having mammograms at least once a year at age 40. Some recommend it earlier. Obamacare does not cover the cost of mammograms until the age of 50. I’m no expert but isn’t one of the leading causes of death in women breast cancer? With most insurances, your mammograms are covered even before age 40. Michelle Obama isn’t subject to Obamacare. She will be able to get her mammograms paid for in full by the American taxpayer. So will Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer and Sheila Jackson Lee and all those other democrat women in congress who told you that Obamacare will be the best thing since sliced bread and they passed the bill because they care about you. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The real war on women’s health is the fact that you now have to wait an additional 10 years if the law holds up to even find out if you have breast cancer. I’m no doctor but I know the earlier you catch it, the more likely you are to survive. It’s not rocket science. Under the democrat’s healthcare plan (Obamacare), even if you find a lump in your breast, a panel of bureaucrats many of whom will know even less than I do about medicine will be deciding your fate on whether or not you can even have a mammogram if you are under the age of 50. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wait, there’s more.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Those women lucky enough to survive this democratic party government ran healthcare plan nightmare to reach the age of 50, there is even more in store for you. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Women live on average almost 6 years longer than men do. If Obamacare does hold up in court, you have more things to look forward to. That is 6 more years of the same panel of bureaucratic idiots determining if you are going to get a hip replacement, surgery to relieve the pain in your lower back or anything that might your last 10 years on earth more comfortable. Remember those Quality of Life (death) panels the administration tried to call a tea party fabrication until Sarah Palin pointed out their exact location in the healthcare law then you never heard the administration speak of them again? If you are 70 years old and have breast cancer, cervical cancer, osteoporosis, need a new hip, kidney, heart or whatever, well the panels, according to the law as it is written now, can and likely will not allow or approve the things you need. Their idea of care at that point is to hook you up to a morphine I.V. and allow you to die pain free. Oh wait, the law does allow them to have some hospice person with you so you don’t die alone. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">You are probably saying, well doesn’t this apply to men? Yes it does but facts are facts and the fact is, women out live men and more women die in hospitals than men do. As men, we typically work and stress ourselves out until out bodies wear out then it’s not much longer after that we die. This of course is fine with me because once I live out my usefulness and independence, I hope I die the next day before I become a burden to someone else. So yes, men will experience this as well nowhere near in numbers as women. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The number 1 goal of Obamacare is lower the cost of healthcare but not the way you think. The faster you die, the less the government has to shell out for your care which gives them more money to waste on things like another bridge to nowhere, the effects of cow farts on the ozone, does the male or female dragonfly enjoy sex more. You know, those all actually important things.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Republican war on women? Only in Obama’s dreamworld.</span></span></div><br /></div></div>Esteban Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14548641632756605187noreply@blogger.com
