Arabs Throw Rocks at 20 Month Old Baby
Arabs threw rocks Wednesday at an Israeli car between Migdalim and Tapuach Junction in Samaria. A 20 month old girl was injured in the face.
The baby girl received treatment from Samaria Regional Authority medics and evacuated to a hospital. The Authority Head Gershon Mesika said: “The ‘men of peace’ of the Palestinian murder authority provide yet more proof, to those who still need it, as to just whom we are facing. We face low life terrorists who try to murder babies.”
“They hold an olive twig in their mouths and murder weapons in their hands. To these barbarian terrorists they want to give a state. The Nation of Israel is strong, the government needs to learn from it and be strengthened by its spirit – no to folding and surrendering, yes to construction and stamping out terrorism.”
What kind of filthy animals would attack children? Babies? Well, those oh so peace loving Muslims would do it, without a second thought. They can’t even be called human. Real humans have a soul, they care for their fellow beings, and especially find it in their hearts to care for children, no matter what religion, color, or nationality. They are not human. They are demons, servants of Satan!

Is Embarrassing Photo of President Obama Actually Real?
An alleged photo of President Obama reportedly taken yesterday has started to make the rounds. No, it’s not another Obama halo pic, but rather it shows the president striking an embarrassing pose. While standing with other leaders during an Open Government Partnership event, Obama can be seen waving to the camera. The only problem? He’s the only one — and he‘s covering another man’s face.
Welp, unless Getty has taken up photoshopping their pictures, I am thinking that, once again, our illustrious ‘leader’ has made a total ass of himself. Not to mention embarrassing the hell out of us. Jeeeeez!

USDA Secretary: We Must ‘Create Appropriate Transition’ for What Americans Eat
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told members of the National Restaurant Association on Monday that Americans need to “adjust” their tastes so that they like the kind of food the government believes they should eat—and “we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition.”
“You know, as we deal with this issue of reducing sodium and sugar, it sounds simple to do, but you all know better than I do, it’s not as simple as it sounds,” said Vilsack.
“It’s going to take time for people’s taste to adjust and they will adjust over time, but it will take some time,” he said. “So, we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition.
“At the end of the day, though, we’ve got to deal with this,” said Vilsack.
No, at the end of the day, you better get your freakin’ nose OUT of my kitchen! It is NOT your job to tell people how or what to eat. We don’t need to adjust! YOU need to come to the realization that we are free to make our own decisions, and you aren’t part of them!

The Obama Investigations

You wouldn’t know it if you solely paid attention to the mainstream media, but while President Barack Obama attempts to sell the country on hundreds of billions in new stimulus spending and $1.5 trillion in new taxes, his Administration is smack in the middle of several growing scandals: the Operation Fast and Furious gun-running debacle and the crony capitalism wrongdoing involving Solyndra and LightSquared.
In the fall of 2009, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which is overseen by President Obama’s Department of Justice, launched an effort to sell weapons to small-time gun buyers in the hopes of tracing them to major weapons traffickers along the southwestern border and into Mexico. Their effort, which is known as Operation Fast and Furious, failed terribly.
Around 1,500 of the guns went unaccounted for, about two-thirds of those guns ended up in Mexico, a border patrol agent was shot and killed with weapons that were sold as part of the operation, 57 Fast and Furious weapons have been connected to at least 11 violent crimes in the U.S., and in Mexico an unconfirmed toll of at least 200 people have been killed or wounded with other weapons linked to the botched effort.
Alexander Stepping Down – But Not Far Enough
TN’s Lamar Alexander to resign from GOP leadership
Sen. Lamar Alexander will resign his position as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference in January to focus on policy priorities, he announced on the Senate floor Tuesday.
Alexander said he’s enjoyed his four years as the No. 3 Republican in the Senate, where his job was “to help leaders succeed, to help individual Republicans succeed, to look for consensus in our caucus and to suggest a message.
Suggest a message? How about the one that many of us here in Tennessee have been sending? You know, us little people that pays your salary. The only response, the ONE time I did get a response, was the same form letter that was sent to many others who had contacted him on many different topics. Only a few words were changed, but it was the same dadburn response! I’m sorry, but pretty much ignoring your constiuency doesn’t really sound like leadership to me, and perhaps it’s best if he steps down. Completely. I thought we had sent a pretty good message with the 2010 elections. I guess it didn’t make it to Senator Alexander’s office. 
“It really boils down to this: Serving in this body, as each one of us knows, is a rare privilege. I’m trying to make the best use of that time while I’m here.”
Alexander said he will still run for reelection to the Senate in 2014, but he will no longer challenge Texas Sen. John Cornyn next year in the race for GOP whip, the No. 2 Republican job in the Senate.
Actually, I’m quite sorry to hear that he plans to run again. I am really hoping that the people of Tennessee will come up with someone who is a real conservative to run against him. I did not vote for him last time. I just left that blank. I sure couldn’t vote for the guy running against him!
He said he will also focus on “confronting the timidity that allows healthcare spending to squeeze out support for roads, support for research, support for scholarships and other government functions that make it easier and cheaper to create private-sector jobs.”
timidity (noun) – fear of the unknown or unfamiliar or fear of making decisions, fearfulness in venturing into new and unknown places or activities
What? Since when has either house of Congress been timid about spending our money? And if you will notice, only ONE item, roads, is in the federal government’s job description. It is NOT the job of the federal government to provide funds for research or scholarships, and those many other so called ‘government functions’ need to be left by the wayside as well. With all due respect Senator, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution. We do not need anymore big government RINOs.
Alexander called himself a “very Republican Republican,” pointing out that the district he lives in – Tennessee’s 2nd Congressional District, which borders North Carolina – hasn’t elected a Democrat since the Civil War.
“If I could get a 100-percent Republican solution to any of our legislative issues, I would do it in a minute,” he said.
The Heritage Foundation has given the good Senator a ranking of 66%. This puts him right there in the company of the 5 biggest Senate RINOs, Mark Kirk (IL) – 60%, Scott Brown (MA, major disappointment) – 56%, Olympia Snowe (ME) – 51%, Lisa Murkowski (AK) – 45%, Susan Collins (ME) – 45%. The worst graded so called Republican is from Oregon, Jeff Merkley came in at 5%.( I’d say that boy needs to switch parties!) So, calling himself a “very Republican Republican” is pretty funny, in a very sad sort of way.

$1.5 Trillion in New Taxes
The Foundry
Two years ago, as the United States was coming out of the last recession, President Obama was asked how raising taxes on anyone would help with the economy. The President’s answer? “Normally you don’t raise taxes in a recession, which is why we haven’t, and why we’ve instead cut taxes.” Fast forward to today, as America is struggling with zero job growth and a stagnant economy, and the President has dramatically changed his rhetoric, proposing $1.5 trillion in new taxes on the American people and the country’s job creators.
A Quarter Million Is Not Enough!
Bond set at $250,000 for woman accused of killing newborn twins
A young woman who told police she hid her pregnancy and then suffocated her newborn twins to keep her parents from hearing their cries hung her head and listened in court on Monday as friends and family testified that she was sweet, humble, loved and respected by everyone
The comments came during a bond hearing for 25-year-old Lindsey Lowe, who was arrested last week and charged with two counts of first-degree murder after her father found the body of one of baby boys in his daughter’s laundry basket. Police later found the second body.
Mark Lowe defended his daughter in court, saying, “Lindsey is a model daughter and we love her very much. She’s as good as it gets.”
“Good”? I’m sorry, this woman is 25 years old, murders her children, and she’s “as good as it gets”? I don’t bleepin’ think so!
This isn’t a young teen. This is a grown woman, afraid of her parents? There is obviously something wrong with her, but there is also something REALLY wrong with those parents, that she, at her age, would be so scared that she would murder 2 defenseless babies! I just don’t have the words to express my disgust!

Whoo Hoo!
After an utterly miserable and painful weekend, I went to physical therapy today thinking I probably went backwards, and wasn’t expecting ANY improvement in my ROM (range of motion). Last time, I got to 128 with a WHOLE lot of pain involved! I thought the guy was going to break every bone in my leg. No, I didn’t cry, cuz I don’t cry in front of people very often, but believe me, it was close! Imagine my surprise when he took the measurement and exclaimed…. REALLY LOUD….. 130! I guess this is a big deal? Heh. Dr Dimples said he would be real happy if I hit 130, but wouldn’t be disappointed if I didn’t do better than 125. Reckon I’m just a whiz, eh?
I’ve been getting really discouraged because of the pain. I thought by now, it would at least start easing up. When I told the de Sade triplet of my concerns, he said, and I quote, “Once you’re finished with your rehab, the pain will start to decrease.”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Seriously? Then excuse me, but why am I still making myself suffer? sigh…. Yeah yeah yeah… I need to get as much strength and motion back as possible. But still…. I am SO ready for this pain to end. Imagine constant ice pick stabbing….front…back….both sides….all at once, or taking turns. Believe me, it’s getting REALLY old, REALLY fast. 
BUT…. I will persevere, cuz I’m stubborn like that!

Why Obama should withdraw
By Steve Chapman
When Ronald Reagan ran for re-election in 1984, his slogan was “Morning in America.” For Barack Obama, it’s more like midnight in a coal mine.
The sputtering economy is about to stall out, unemployment is high, his jobs program may not pass, foreclosures are rampant and the poor guy can’t even sneak a cigarette.
His approval rating is at its lowest level ever. His party just lost two House elections — one in a district it had held for 88 consecutive years. He’s staked his future on the jobs bill, which most Americans don’t think would work.
The vultures are starting to circle. Former White House spokesman Bill Burton said that unless Obama can rally the Democratic base, which is disillusioned with him, “it’s going to be impossible for the president to win.” Democratic consultant James Carville had one word of advice for Obama: “Panic.”
Read the rest here.
If Obama had any concern for the future of this country, which he doesn’t, he’d skip the campaigning, and resign…..RIGHT NOW! Could Biden be any worse for this nation? Granted, he’s the king of gaffes, but still… At least Biden would be good for at least his entertainment value. Obama has done nothing but create chaos with his constant blathering about redistribution, and fair share B.S. About 50% of people in this country don’t pay a dime in income tax, and many actually get a ‘refund’ they didn’t earn. When are THEY going to start paying THEIR fair share?
The spending sprees must end! And that includes Michelle’s trips around the world! We’re pretty sick of picking up the tab for her globe trotting. She doesn’t even LIKE this country.
No one is ‘entitled’ to ANYTHING except ‘life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness’!

Obama’s War on Job Creators
The Foundry
Today, President Barack Obama is expected to announce his latest plan for reducing the deficit, and central to it are $1.5 trillion in new taxes, aimed predominantly at wealthy Americans. Unfortunately for the 14 million unemployed Americans, the President is continuing down his steady path of ushering in big spending policies, then turning to even higher taxes in order to pay for them. Who ends up paying the price? America’s job creators and those on the unemployment line.
It’s a “glut the beast” strategy the President has employed before–increase spending as much as possible, and then argue that the only answer to the massive deficits is to increase taxes. Last week, the President played that philosophy to a tee when he unveiled another series of tax hikes intended to pay for more stimulus–his newly unveiled $447 billion American Jobs Act. Not surprisingly, the tax policies the President proposed were more of the same he has offered up since he first took office.
Proverbs 15:1-4
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
