Mother Teresa of Calcutta (Nobel Peace Prize in 1979): "But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"
The recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize supports the worst Holocaust in the history of mankind.

I am confused again and getting very uneasy about President Obama
Why does the White House continue with the smear campaign against Fox News (Beck) and continue to refuse to answer questions that are brought to light? Is Beck on to something again like he was with ACORN, NEA, Val Jones, etc?
If the people in the White House loved America and respected the country and people over which they now preside, they would emerge from there dark corners of power and answer the questions being raised. If the assessment is incorrect, it would best serve the nation for them to honestly answer the claims. If they remain silent on the questions, only to throw out vicious smears of American patriots, we can only conclude that the material that has come forth is confirmed to be correct., in which case, I think (just an honest observation) that the fundamental change suggested by these claims is not in the best interest of our nation.

Congress must be stopped!!!
$2.5b was removed by Congress from the Defense Department Operation and Maintenance funding (supports safety materials such as armor plating etc. for troops in Afghanistan)
The funds were redirected to earmarks for pet projects back home. (Elections are coming next year????)
Can we stop the bullshit????
Yes we can!!!!

Universal health care = Universal Gun ban??????
Check out Washington Times Article
NIH (National Institutes of Health) will find that gun ownership is a health risk.
Keep your gun and pay exorbitant health care premium.
Probably for each member of the household that contains a gun.
Once free speech is declared unhealthy along with red meat and Fox News is banned, we won’t need the Constitution as we have Obamacare.
Oh Yeh, and the FCC is looking at “Net Neutralization” Thursday.
