15 Year-Old Girl To Be Executed For Converting To Christianity; Asks Obama For Help

I found this at Atlas Shrugs via The Jawa Report.



Not surprising that it was Fox News that carried the story. No other media outlet dared mention it. Americans are blissfully ignorant of the plight of Christians in Muslim nations and China. Converts to Christianity are being murdered and most people in this country haven't a clue.

A Quick Word about Comments

I think word verification and IDs hinder the free flow of ideas between intelligent people. Unfortunately it is morons who spam comments that make such steps necessary. Shame too, since I am about 75 days away from my SIXTH blogaversary and hadn't until now needed to take such measures. I apologize for the extra step.

I Feel Much Better About Tomorrow

Why? Because at least now the Republicans can prevent Obamacare from being forced down our throats. The Democrats have to honestly work a deal palatable to Republicans. The runaway train to socialism has slowed a bit.

Congratulations to newly elected Senator Scott Brown; Republican.

WWMLKD

Yesterday was the federal holiday known as Martin Luther King’s Birthday, a day set aside to honor the birth of a man who did much for the people of this nation; all people not just black people. I have posted about Dr. King before and have said before that many of the opportunities that I have had which led me to where I am today are due in part to the work of Dr. King.

So I was enjoying my day off from work and thinking about Dr. King and our first Black President (if you don’t count Bill Clinton who claimed the title for himself). President Obama would not be President now if it weren’t for the struggles of Dr. King. The President made speeches and served food in a homeless shelter and dedicated a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation to the memory of Dr. King.



I found the President’s activities curious. You see I think if Dr. Martin Luther King were alive today, he would have little to do with and little good to say about Barack Hussein Obama. Dr. King’s approach to social change was to make America actually live up to the beliefs it professed. A copy of the Constitution would have been more appropriately displayed in the White House since it gave and guarantees freedom for all men born in this country, not the Emancipation Proclamation. President Obama wants to force change down the throats of Americans. And he is not above back room deal making to forward his socialist agenda. He has little respect for the Constitution.

And that point would be the biggest split between Dr. King and President Obama. I believe Dr. King would insist that Barack Obama prove beyond all doubt that he IS an American Citizen and therefore qualifies to be President. I think he would call on the President to cease the closed door sessions of congress on Obamacare and live up to his promise of transparency in government.

Of course I can’t prove any of this. Dr. King was human and had his failings. Had he lived until today would he be as respected as he was in the late sixties or would he be a politically impotent has-been like Jesse Jackson and other survivors of that time?

Still alive and yet I can't help but wonder why when we are facing a healthcare disaster I mean reform, that the media is consumed with crucifying Tiger Woods.

Stevie Wonder: Obama's Approval Down Because ‘People Are Afraid of Change'

Well it seems more and more Americans are less happy with President Obama than before. His approval numbers continue to tank and this has the left scrambling to find excuses for it. The latest highly trained political scientist to chime in is Stevie Wonder. I was being sarcastic about the highly trained thing.

I really admire Wonder as an artist. His music has been an inspiration to me at many different points of my life. Many of his songs have made my short list of favorite tunes. BUT I do not believe his status as mega music star gives him any more insight on U.S. politics than anyone else. So why is everybody hanging on his every word about how Obama's declining approval rating is because people are afraid of change?

“I think as far as his [Obama’s] popularity decreasing, I think it’s because people are so used to, they’re so afraid of change and I think you have politics playing too much a role in what should be a natural, given that health care in this country needs to be improved and that’s just a reality,” Wonder told CNSNews.com in an exclusive interview.

And all this time I thought the reason President Obama was elected was because people were embracing change. How do you install a President based on change and then disapprove of him for the same reason? Maybe people disapprove of him in ever increasing numbers because his flawed vision of healthcare reform is just a bad idea? I guess Mr. Obama isn't the sunshine of everybody's life.

I Have to Say Something

I have lost all respect for the Nobel organization. Oh it is not just the shocking news that President Obama won the Peace Prize for, well I am not sure why he won it. We are still in Iraq and Afghanistan and in larger numbers than the Bush days. So I am not exactly sure of what peace they are talking about.

No it is not Obama alone. Let's review. In 2002 they gave Jimmy "The Worse President Evah" Carter a Peace Prize. Granted he does have a post presidential history of humanitarian work, but face it, the prize was a jab at President Bush's policies. As was the 2007 Peace Prize awarded to Al "Global Warming Czar" Gore. Come on. A PEACE prize for global warming? What an affront to everyone who was working towards peace to have the award given to Gore. Was it for his brilliant scientific proofs of the dangers of Global Warming? Nope. Czech President Vaclav Klaus, another climate change skeptic, said the relationship between Mr Gore’s work and world peace was “unclear and indistinct”. But they gave it to him anyway. Remember President Bush resisted the whole Global Warming scam and wouldn't sign the Kyoto accords.

So now our newest Democrat Nobel Laureate is President Obama. An interesting soundbite I heard while surfing the news channels said that the committee would have given the award to anyone who wasn't G. W. Bush. Why do liberals hate that man so?
