The first thing a totalitarian Govt does when there is dissent is to restrict speech (Hugo Chavez, Lenin, Hitler, Castro, Mussolini)
and then they come for your guns.. The Obama Govt and the Democrats are trying to
shut down talk radio because they can't handle dissent to the chosen one, it's to be called "Media responsibility", they use to call it the "Fairness Doctrine".. Of course
it won't pertain to the Big three networks, NBC, ABC, CBS, or to CNN, MSNBC or NPR, because they are already "Fair". Fox news will probably get hammered eventhough it is probably the only balanced news organization on the air. The original "Fairness Doctrine" was the brainchild of LBJ. He was getting criticised by Radio preachers of the south and south west in the late 40's because they suspected he and his Texas machine were stealing elections through the time honored art of registering voters in cemetaries. He shut them up.
Next they will institute "Sensible" gun control.

Religion of "Peace" update..
Founder of Muslim TV network beheads wife
The founder of a TV network aimed at improving the image of Muslims in the United States didn't help his cause after chopping his wife’s head off. Bridges TV, (get it, building bridges) the station with the goal of improving the image of Muslims in the United States, is probably covering this event in a fair and balanced way. These were the guys on the front lines of shutting people down who said anything negative towards Muslims. Do they do more damage by ignoring the heads rolling on the floor than those who point out the bad ones?
Also B,Hussien Obama signed bill January 27, 2009. This bill allocates $20 million for the relocation of Palestinian "Victims" of Israeli aggression to the US.. Also, if you can prove you voted for or are a member of "Hamas", you go to the fron of the line.. This money provides a home and food for the refugees as the start a new life here in the US..
By the way Hamas is listed as a terrorist group.

H. J. Res. 5 Would Amend Constitution and Remove Limitation on Presidential Terms
Rep. Jose Serrano, D-NY, would make President Barack Obama President for life. Earlier this month the Congressman introduced H. J. Res. 5 that proposes an amendment to the US Constitution that would repeal the Constitution’s 22nd Amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President
The U. S. House Committee on the Judiciary is considering the bill.
In 1807, Thomas Jefferson warned that presidents not bound by term limits could use their popularity and power to become kings.
Jefferson wrote that: “If termination to the services of the chief magistrate be not fixed by the Constitution or supplied in practice, his office, nominally for years, will in fact become for life: and history shows how easily that degenerates into an inheritance.”
The original Constitution did not contain term limits for Presidents; however Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the only President to be elected for more than two terms. Following his death in office, Congress passed the 22nd Amendment on March 21, 1947. The Amendment was ratified by the required number of states on February 26, 1951.
The 22nd Amendment states: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”
Should the Democrats succeed in repealing the 22nd Amendment, Obama could run for an unlimited number of terms, limited only by votes of the electorate.
President Lyndon Johnson served less than two years of the remaining Kennedy term, therefore was eligible to seek a second term, but declined to do so. In order to repeal the 22nd Amendment, it must be passed by the Congress and approved by two-thirds of both houses of Congress and ratified by three-quarters of the states’ legislatures.

On Wednesday, February 5, 2009. President B. Hussien Obama signed the new SCHIP bill. This bill had been vetoed twice by former President George W. Bush. This was one of the few times that President Bush actually Vetoed legislation during his Presidency, unfortunately like a zombie it wouldn't die.

So, you are asking, if it is so bad, why did Orrin Hatch (R) Utah support it? Did you read the above sidebar? That's why, it's for the children of the poor!! Spineless Republicans always get rolled by Democrats when they use the phrase "It's for the children!".
So you say... What is wrong with that? First of all, in looking at my handy dandy pocket Constitution (yes, I have one), I can't find an article in it that says the Federal Govt. is responsible for children, or their healthcare... Maybe I am missing something..
Any way, let's look at what 'The Most Merciful, Lord B. Hussien Obama' has done with a horrible program that is "for the children". Above I have placed the definition of "children". So that we all may agree on what defines a child, I will use definition 1.2- "A person who has not attained maturity or the age of legal majority". Which to me sounds like it defines children, as individuals, under the age of 18. Now I have also included the HHS definition of what constitutes "poverty" in the US. If you are single and you make $10,400 or less, you are impoverished according to the table. So a family of 4, a husband, wife and two children whose yearly income is $21,200 or less, those children would qualify under the old SCHIP plan for free health insurance. Under 'Obama the most merciful"'s newly signed bill the same family may have an annual income of $80,000.00. No, that isn't a typo. Furthermore they have expanded the definition of a child. A child is now anyone up to the age of ..... 30.
Wrap your head round this... Our above couple with two children, making $80,000.00 a year or less, if they are under the age of 30 (the mother and father), ALL OF THEM QUALIFY FOR SCHIP COVERAGE!!!!
IT"S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!
Yeah...Right.. Can you say Socialized Medicine?
SIDEBAR
"Hey BigMan, what's wrong with Socialized Medicine? They have it in Canada and Europe and it's pretty good!"
"Well, as they say in Canada and most of Europe, Socialized Medicine is GREAT!! Until you get sick that is.. Also if our Health care is Socialized, where will the really sick Canadians and Europeans go for their health care?"
END SIDEBAR
"At its creation in 1997, SCHIP was the largest expansion of taxpayer-funded health insurance coverage for children in the U.S.
since Medicaid began in the 1960s. The statutory authority for SCHIP is under title XXI of the Social Security Act.
It was sponsored by Senator Ted Kennedy in a partnership with Senator Orrin Hatch with support coming from
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton during the Clinton administration."

Not all Economists Agree with the Messiah...
There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy.
— PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA, JANUARY 9 , 2009
With all due respect Mr.President,that is not true.
Notwithstanding reports that all economists are now Keynesians and that we all support a big increase in the burden of
government, we the undersigned do not believe that more government spending is a way to improve economic performance.
More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in
the 1930s. More government spending did not solve Japan’s “lost decade” in the 1990s. As such, it is a triumph of hope over
experience to believe that more government spending will help the U.S. today. To improve the economy, policymakers should
focus on reforms that remove impediments to work, saving, investment and production. Lower tax rates and a reduction in the
burden of government are the best ways of using fiscal policy to boost growth.

Being A Dad
I am a father, a dad. When you first realize that that moniker is now yours, it is kind of scary. Actually I was 'Ada' first, not 'Dad', but I knew exactly what it meant. The first full sentence my eldest princess uttered (offspring #1), was 'Hi Ada!'.
Allot of responsibilities come with being a Dad;
Being Dad, Daddy, Ada, is the hardest and best job in my life, now it is half over.. I have two left, I hope I don't mess up.. Then I will have to start all over.. I will be GranPa...
Allot of responsibilities come with being a Dad;
- Making the perfect peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and fluff sandwich
- The art of washing little feet and squirting the bar of soap between little toes so it tickles
- Making Macaroni and Cheese 'Just Right'
- Belly flopping at bed time
- Singing bedtime songs (badly)
- Getting into holidays and making them more fun (Halloween and Christmas)
- Skipping down Main Street in the Magic Kingdom, after it has been cleared for the parade.. while singing 'Zippity do dah' and holding hands with two of your princesses.
- Keeping calm during emergencies and rushing injured children to the emergency room, or dentist
- When your tiny little princess is going in for surgery, not shedding a tear, even though you are terrified so she won't be scared. Then holding it back longer so Mom won't be so scared.
- Being the Den leader for 20 wild boys for 5 years, just to spend time with your son
- Scaring all of the Boys that come to date your daughters, because all boys are evil...
- Sitting through numerous dance recitals and acting interested.
Being Dad, Daddy, Ada, is the hardest and best job in my life, now it is half over.. I have two left, I hope I don't mess up.. Then I will have to start all over.. I will be GranPa...
