IS OBAMA REALLY A FAILURE? THAT DEPENDS ON WHO'S SIDE YOUR ON!

EPIC FAIL?   I THINK NOT!

  "Obama is clueless, when it comes to finances and the economy" (Donald Trump).  "Obama, out of touch, he's just so naive." (Unknown journalist).  " Obama, is inexperienced and out of touch with the people" (Sarah Palin).
  Pass, pass and another pass.  Do all these supposedly educated people really think that Barack Hussein Obama is just making mistake after crucial mistake?  Do the educated and experienced veteran journalists and talk show hosts honestly believe that the Obama administration is just a comedy of errors and poor judgement?  I'm not buying it, not for one minute could you convince me that Obama is this much of a buffoon.  
  Barack Hussein Obama's Socialist agenda is a plain as the nose on Barney Franks face.  Obama's destructive intent is as obvious as the botox injections of Nancy Pelosi.  There is no possible way that this many Americans, especially the electorate can be so fooled and baffled into thinking that Obama's single most detriment is his naivte'.  I remember that John F. Kennedy once said "If you get domestic policy wrong, you can lose a lot of jobs and money, if you get foreign policy wrong, you can lose a lot of lives."  Say what you want about John Kennedy, but he was that last true Conservative Democrat, and he was right in his statement I just quoted.  Doesn't it occur to anyone that Obama has it totally wrong on both counts?  The nation is on the verge of bankruptcy, and since he took office, America is engaged in even more wars than we had with George Bush.  Mistakes?  I don't think so!!!  
  It is however, a matter of semantics, isn't it?  Situations that occur are either dire or matter of fact, it all depends on how one perceives them to be.  This my friends is the dilemma we have regarding President Barack Obama.  As conservatives we see Obama an idiot who is leading our nation down the wrong path.  As Christians, we Obama as a Godless man, lending more credence toward Islam than his pretend Christianity.  It is us, the American people who are the ones making mistakes in our perceptions and erring in our judgements regarding Barack Obama.  We aren't grading Obama from the correct set of rules.  It is imperative to realize that one cannot judge a Socialist's accomplishments from a Constitutional Republic's set of rules.  The standards are not the same.  If you want to judge a Socialist, then you must judge him by the same rules a Socialist judges himself.  When judging Obama on his failed leadership, you must first research what he boasted to accomplish.  I believe he stated 5 days prior to his victorious election that "we are five days away from fundamentally changing America."  Well, I ask you, has he or has he not kept that promise?  In my opinion he has kept that promise, because it is painfully apparent that America has been fundamentally changed since Obama came to office.  In my eyes, as in most conservative eyes, the changes that have taken place and those changes yet in the works are NOT changes for the good.  However, from a Socialist's point of view, Obama is quite successful in his endeavors and accomplishments.  When over 40% of the population is collecting some type of government entitlement, whether they are entitled or not, from a conservative standpoint, that is a dire and destructive situation.  From a Socialist's standpoint, it is exactly what the goal was.  Actually it falls a little short of the goal, but as they say, "the night is still young".  We forget sometimes that there is much more Obama darkness on the horizon, but to Socialists, they only see light at the end of the tunnel.  Perception, perception, perception.  
  It is time Americans and their representatives become aware that Barack Hussein Obama has been groomed for the position he is in.  Harken to the fact that his decisions are not errs in the judgement of a naive President, but in fact, are all implementations of a Socialist plan that Obama subscribes to, and is exercising his authority to bring to fruition.  Just as he promised.  Once that understanding is in the forefront, all of Obama's decisions, and there are many, that are leading America into financial and economic ruin, are all 100% planned and orchestrated to make take America into the future as a third world country, with Socialists as the ruling party.  Socialism fails every time, and it it will fail in America too, but not until we as a nation have suffered horrendously at its hands.
  America has oil, are we drilling? NO
  America has coal, are we mining? NO
  America has natural gas, are we bringing it up, NO
  America is spending 3 billion dollars a month, and 40% of that money is borrowed, is that sustainable?  NO
Are these all errors in judgement of a naive President?  Or are they planned obstacles to bring America into a One World Order?  You decide!

‪Muslim Sharia Law In Australia‬‏ - YouTube

‪Muslim Sharia Law In Australia‬‏ - YouTube

Dateline:  8/3/2011

I would like to take a moment to urge every American citizen, especially those who sympathize with the Muslim cause here in America to watch the news video from Australia.  Simply click on the link.  If after watching this video you don't come away with an entirely different attitude towards the goals of Islam, then I regret there is no hope for America.

  Once again I have this overwhelming urge, a calling if you will, to warning America of an impending doom.  The infiltration of Islam into all facets of American government and even many Christian religious denominations.  Islam is engaged in a "Stealth Jihad" against America.  Their goal, to nudge our law makers, politicians, authorities, and clergy to accept Islam as a viable religion.  Understand, Islam is NOT a religion in any way shape or form.  Islam is an all-encompassing way of life.  Islam cannot, and will not conform to man made law, and that includes the Constitution of the United States.  It is unfortunate that America has a President and several members of the congress who also do not respect the Constitution.  This my friends is what makes America so vulnerable to stealth jihad.  Islam has found America's weakest spot, and they intend to use it to gain control of neighborhoods, towns, entire cities and states.  America's weak spot is our failure to identify an enemy.  Another name for that weak spot is Liberalism.  It is liberalism that allows despicable acts like abortion to be committed.  While at the same time defense of animals to take precedence over human life.  Liberalism by any other word, and there are many is the same thing.  Progressives, multiculturalism, and moral relativism are just a few names that liberals like to tout.  

  The bottom line here is this, if you cannot recognise your enemy, you cannot defeat him.  If you cannot defeat him, he will devour you and all you stand for in a very short time.  

  Watch the Australian news video, and the watch it again.  The same thing is occurring here in the United States, and the Liberally controlled media is not reporting it to you.  Google "Dearborn, MI.", read and see what set of laws are being enforced there.  Sharia, the law of Islam is predominantly enforced there.  My friends, Dearborn is only the tip of the iceberg.  Towns are being duped into this false notion that Islam is a peaceful religion that just wants to part of the community.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  Islam wants to BE the community, and to enforce Sharia law in America.  

  This a small example of the infiltration of Islam:  America is a country where it is for all intensive purposes illegal to have multiple wives.  Yet, there are several Muslims men in America who have several wives, and what's worse, your tax dollars are not only supporting these families through welfare and medicare and Medicaid, not to mention food stamps, and low-income housing.  The Muslim man simply lists one woman as his wife and the others as dependents.  A small matter of basic investigation will reveal this to the authorities.  Let me inform you, the authorities from city, state and Federal government already know about this miscarriage of justice, this blatant fraudulent use of America's entitlement systems, but the authorities choose to turn a blind eye.  Why you ask?  Because the perpetrators are Muslim, plain and simple.  Our authorities are deathly afraid to offend Muslims in any way shape or form, so they will continue to receive benefits that true American citizens are denied by their own elected officials.

  You want to ignore the Islamification of America, then go ahead, but in a few month's when your neighborhood Mosque begins putting up signs stating that you are now living in a Sharia Law enforcement zone, don't cry about not being warned.  This message goes out to the city of Murfreesboro, Tennessee as a special warning about what is to come.  If you Murfreesboro citizens are against the establishment of this Mosque, send this Australia news video to you local and community leaders.  Copy it and show it to your neighbors.  It is imperative that every neighborhood, town and city in America wake up to the fact that Islam does not wish to assimilate, but their goal is to dominate.  Islam will succeed if citizens refuse to recognise their enemy.

Agenda 21 Update – DOT’s regulatory attack on family farms | Video | TheBlaze.com

IF THE US DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION HAS IT'S WAY,YOU WON'T FIND LITTLE BILLY HELPING AROUND THE FAMILY FARM ANYMORE, AS A MATTER OF FACT YOU MAY NOT SEE ANY FAMILY FARMS ANYMORE!!!

Agenda 21 Update – DOT’s regulatory attack on family farms Video TheBlaze.com

  That's right, the implementation of the U.N.'s Agenda 21 is in full swing on several fronts.  The latest of course is the attack on the family farm and farm families.  In a effort to control and actually curtail the family farm operations in America, the US Department of Transportation wants all operators of farm equipment to be in possession of a CDL (Commercial Driver's License). 

  For more years than I can count, young boys and girls born into farm families have always helped out, driving tractors, combines, farm trucks, balers, wagons you name it.  Not anymore, the Agenda 21 controls are being infused into even more private lives and businesses.  One must be 21 years of age to acquire a CDL.  Where does that leave the farmer when last harvest his 12, 13 or 14 year old was driving the harvester or the baler.  It leaves him darn short handed, that's what! 

  I heard it said that the government just doesn't understand how family farms work!  I'm here to tell that the government does in fact know how things are done on the family farm, and it's the government's goal to shut you down.  Controlling huge populations of people is difficult, especially if food is plentiful.  However, if you control access and production of food, it makes controlling the masses oh so much easier.  Family farms produce about 70% of the world's food supply, huge conglomerates like ConAgri pretty much produce the other 30%.  Just think though, outfits like ConAgri that already receive a substantial amount of the government farm subsidies, well, if they were to control say all of the food production, then the government would in turn enjoy the control of who farms, and who plants, and what they plant and of course how much they are allowed to plant and harvest.  Can you even imagine the extent of this far global reaching power?  I can, and it isn't pretty.

  The bottom line is a United Nation's plan that the United States and several other countries have signed on to that will ultimately put family run farms out of business.  Have you been to your neighborhood farmer's market lately?  If you have, enjoy it because it won't be there much longer, if the government has it's way.  The government has plans to require all your local growers to comply with FDA regulations for food safety and tracking, under the guise of course that they care about the consumer.  That isn't the reason at all.  The real reason is to remove food from accessibility to regular folks.  In the works, is a plan to keep you from not only planting your own garden, but to keep you from selling or even giving away your home grown produce.  You say "they can't do that"!!!  Well, I'm here to tell you that they can do that, and they will do that, and here's how.  The Progressives and the Globalists know that to get home grown produce out the market place would be an extremely difficult task at best, the very legislation would be a nightmare.  However, the government's can write regulatory mandates much, much easier, and that's how they are doing it, and going to do it.  Putting the CDL requirement on family farms is just the beginning.  When the opportunity arises regulatory legislation in the form of rules that must adhered to in order to grow, sell or give away foods of any kind will come Washington.  The rules will come hard and they will come fast.  Family farmers will be hit with enough regulations that it will become way to expensive to plant, grow, harvest and sell.  There will be no opportunity to make even minimum profits.  Why the regulations they can and will put on the fertilizers and the fertilization process alone will break enough family farms in short order.  By the time the government adds on food inspections, transportation regulations from farm to roadside stand, the farm output will not produce enough profit to buy seed for next year's crop.

  So, it begins.

Dr. Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite Blames Christianity for Anders Behring Breivik’s Attack in Norway | TheBlaze.com

Perhaps her name should be changed to "Dr. Susan Brooks Thistlewaite-A-Minute"!!!

THEOLOGIAN:  One who is expert in the study of God and religious truth.

My question, where does this educated idiot fit in?  She obviously has no idea where God comes in and even less of an idea regarding the Christian religion.  I point out the Christian religion because that is the particular religion under attack by Ms. Thistlewaite.  I don't believe that she is uneducated or even undereducated, but understanding what one has been educated in, is a far cry from just reading the books.  After reading some of Thistlewaite's papers and listening to her speeches, I have come to the conclusion that although very educated, her comprehension of theology is abysmal at best.

  Anyone who has even a minute understanding of Christianity could not in clear conscience write an article titled " When Christianity Becomes Lethal".   It should however be noted that Susan Thistlewaite is the former president of Chicago Theological Seminary and a preacher ordained through the United Church of Christ.  Putting aside all doubt concerning Ms. Thistlewaite's bias, one should know that the Reverend ( if you can refer to him as reverend) was also a teacher at CTS, and of course ordained  by UCC as well.  Ms. Thistlewaite assumes that the murderer of innocents in Oslo, Norway, Mr. Anders Breivik is a Christian.  Lets clear up one thing; there is absolutely NO proof that this maniac is a Christian, NONE!  Also, if Ms. Thistlewaite is a theologian she should know that there is nothing in the Christian Bible, the Commandments from God or the teachings of Jesus Christ that calls for or condones murder.  Again, Ms. Thistlewaite's knowledge of religion comes into question.

  Ms. Thistlewaite contends that Christians are "all-too-reluctant to see connections between their faith and extreme violence".  (Name an event or circumstance Thistlewaite!)  She also says "that Christians often dismiss horrific violence that is perpetuated by other believers as "madness."  (So, Ms. Thistlewaite, you don't believe that horrific violence is madness?)  She goes on to say "that Christians should be more willing to accept the inherent violence and then deal with its impact and roots".  (Once again Thistlewaite, give us a for instance!)  Thistlewaite's article goes on to say:  " I believe that certain theological constructions of Christianity "tempt" individuals and groups to violence; combined with right-wing (Okay, here it comes, the true agenda encapsulated in her article) political ideologies, these views can give a divine justification to the use of lethal force."  If you click on the link below it will take you to the article.  It's not very long, but if you read it, you will soon realize that Susan Brooks Thistlewaite has an agenda.  She is pro-multiculturalistic, if there is such a word, if not, well that's what she is anyway!  Amazingly she alludes to the fact that she too is a Christian.  I can not question ones faith or their profession of faith, but I certainly question her understanding of God, Jesus and the Christian faith as a whole.  

  Suffice to say, I am strongly opposed to a multicultural society.  I am strongly against Social justice, Moral Relativism and all forms of Socialism.  I am anti-Islam and anti-Sharia.  I believe that Islam is of Satan, and it will be the undoing of America and Western Civilization as we know it, if left unchecked.  I am a religious, born again, saved Christian, and I am not prone to violence.  But let it be known here and now, I will defend my faith as I have defended my country.  I will not now, or ever agree that Islam is a religion.  I will not now or ever bow to Allah for the sake of appeasing Muslims, either in this country or any other country.  I vow to fight against Muslim expansion into America and the West with whatever tools are at my disposal.  Unlike Muslim jihadis, I will not murder innocent men, women and children.  

  It is my considered opinion that Susan Brooks Thistlewaite is nothing less than a Communist/Socialist posing as a Christian.  I do not think she understands God or Christianity any more than reverend Wright or Barack Hussein Obama.  I doubt seriously that any of the above mentioned personalities regard the Bible as sacred, and they only profess to be Christian for convenience sake.  Reverend Wright does not preach Christian values, but instead preaches Black Liberation Theology which is in itself, anti-Christian.  Barack Hussein Obama is a closet Muslim, although his outward allegiance tends to be toward Islam, and his true faith left the closet a long time ago.  I believe that Ms. Thistlewaite, Obama and Wright all have the same goal; to destroy America as a Christian nation and rebuild it as a Socialist nation, with no God, honor, honesty, moral standards or freedom.  The three disgust me beyond words.

Sincerely,

THE CRUSADES, WERE THEY NECESSARY? YES THEY WERE!!!

Many Crusade Battles Went On For Days, And Sometimes Weeks

Myth # 4:  The Crusades were just medieval colonialism dressed up in religious finery.
  It is important to remember that in the Middle Ages the West was not a powerful, dominant culture venturing into a primitive or backward region.  It was the Muslim East that was powerful, and extremely wealthy.  Europe was the "Third World" in those times.  The Crusader States, founded in the wake of the First Crusade, were not new plantations of Catholics in a Muslim world akin to the British colonization of America.  Catholic presence in the Crusader states was always tiny, easily less than 10% of the population.  These were the rulers and magistrates, as well as Italian merchants and members of the military orders.
  The overwhelming majority of the population in the Crusader states was Muslim.  They were not colonies, therefore, in the sense of  plantations or even factories, as in the case of India.  They were merely outposts.  The ultimate purpose of the Crusader states was to defend the holy places in Palestine, especially Jerusalem, and to provide a safe environment for Christian pilgrims to visit those places.  There was no mother country with which the Crusader states had an economic relationship, nor did the Europeans economically benefit from them.  Quite the contrary, the expense of Crusades to maintain the Latin East was a serious drain on European resources.  As an outpost, the Crusader states kept a military focus.  While the Muslims warred against each other the Crusader states were safe, but once the Muslims united, they were able to dismantle the strongholds, capture the cities, and in 1291 expel the Christians completely.
  Myth # 5:  The Crusades were also waged against Jews.
  No Pope ever called a Crusade against Jews.  During the First Crusade a large band of riffraff, not associated with the main army, descended on the towns of the Rhineland and decided to rob and kill the Jews they found there.  In part this was pure greed.  In part it also stemmed from the incorrect belief that the Jews, as crucifier's of Christ, were legitimate targets of war.  Pope Urban II and subsequent Popes strongly condemned these attacks on Jews.  Local Bishops and other clergy and laity attempted to defend the Jews, although with limited success.  Similarly, during the opening phase of the Second Crusade a group of renegades killed many Jews in Germany before St. Bernard was able to catch up to them and put a stop to it.  These misfires of the movement were an unfortunate by-product of Crusade enthusiasm, but they were not he purpose of the Crusades.  To use a modern analogy, during the Second World War some American soldiers committed crimes while overseas.  They were arrested and punished for those crimes.  Hut the purpose of the Second World War was not to commit crimes.
  Question:  Is the present struggle between the West and the Muslims in any way a reaction to the Crusades?
  Not necessarily, although terrorists like Osama Bin Laden many times refer to Americans as Crusaders.  It is important to note that it was Islam that was the super-power in the Middle Ages.  Muslims were extremely wealthy, sophisticated and very powerful.  The "Crusades" as far as the Muslim Empire goes were relatively insignificant.  The "Crusades" were only important to the Europeans, as it was a large and concerted effort on their part, and other than the First Crusade, the rest, (nine officially) were failed attempts to stop the Islamization of Europe.  During and after the Crusades, Muslim empires continued to expand and conquer Christian territories.  Muslims conquered the Balkans and much of Eastern Europe and even the greatest city of the time, Constantinople.  It wasn't until the 19th century when Europeans began conquering and colonizing Middle-Eastern countries that many so-called historians, not surprisingly the French royalist writers began to cast the "Crusades" as Europe's first attempt to bring the fruits of Western civilization to the backward Muslim world.  As a result of the French royalist writers, the Crusades were transformed from failed attempt at stopping Muslim expansion into Imperialist Wars.
  Unfortunately those histories were taught in the colonial schools and became the accepted view in the Middle East and beyond.  Here in the 20th and 21st centuries, imperialism has become discredited.  Ironically and using the adage that "no good deed goes unpunished" , many Islamists have seized on the colonial misrepresentation of the Crusades, and claim that the West is responsible for all their problems.  It is now the Muslim contention that the West has been preying upon Muslims ever since the Crusades.  What goes around, almost always comes around.  By this I mean that it has been said the people in the Middle East have long memories, and this may be true but in the case of the Crusades, they have a recovered memory: one that was manufactured for them by their 19th century French and European conquerors.  How Ironic!!!
  "The Muslim Brotherhood is very adept at playing the victim card to get their way in America and the the West.  We, as Christians, must not allow this false victim card to play on our sympathies.  Tolerance of the expansion of Islam is a dangerous practice, and will be a fatal blow to Christendom if left unchecked."

THE CRUSADES, CHRISTIANS NEED NOT BE ASHAMED

Christian Crusaders Fought Long Hard Battles For Many Years At A Time,
Some Left England, France and Spain as Young Men and Returned Many Years Later

In this ongoing saga of the Crusades, I will only touch base on a few of the many myths that have grown. The facts bear out that too many stories were fabricated by the Muslims long after the Crusades were over.  The reasons behind these fabrications, no one knows for sure.  In essence the was no reason to fabricate anything, as it was the Muslims under their leader Saladin who were ultimately victorious.

  MYTH #3:  When the Christian Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099 they massacred every man, woman and child in the city until the streets ran ankle deep in blood.

  This is a favorite used to demonstrate the evil nature of the Crusades.  It is certainly true that many people in Jerusalem were killed after the Crusaders captured the city. However, this needs to be looked at in and understood in historical context.  The accepted moral standard in all pre-modern European and Asia civilizations was that a city that resisted capture and was taken by force belonged to the victorious forces.  That included not just the buildings and goods, but the people as well.  That is why every city or fortress had to weigh carefully whether it could hold out against besiegers.  If not, it was wise to negotiate terms of surrender.  In the case of Jerusalem, the Muslim defenders had resisted right up to the end.  They calculated that the formidable walls of the city would keep the Crusaders at bay until a relief force from Egypt could arrive.  They were wrong!  When the city fell, therefore, it was put to the sack.

  Many were killed, yet many others were ransomed or allowed to go free.  By modern standards this may seem brutal.  Yet a medieval knight would point out that many more innocent men, women and children are killed in modern bombing warfare than could possibly be put to the sword in one or two days.  It is worth noting that in those Muslim cities that surrendered to the Crusaders the people were left unmolested, retained their property and were allowed to worship freely.  As for those "streets of blood", no historian accepts them as anything other than a literary convention.  Jerusalem is a big town.  The amount of blood necessary to fill the streets to a continuous and running three inch depth would require many more people than lived in the region, let alone the city.
  The lost history of the Crusades:  Western guilt over, and apologies for, the Crusades ignores one crucial fact:  The West actually lost!
  The Crusades were a response to more than four hundred years of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world.
  Here is a point to ponder:  In the year 1453, Muslims captured the capital of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople (Istanbul Turkey today).  In the late 15th century, Rome was evacuated when Muslim armies landed at Otranto in an unsuccessful invasion of Italy.  By the 16th century, the Ottoman Turk empire stretched from North Africa and Arabia to the Near East and Asia Minor.  They penetrated deep into Europe, conquering Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, Albania, Croatia and Serbia.  In 1529, the Ottomans (Muslims) laid siege to Vienna, Austria.  Fortunately for Europe, the siege failed; otherwise the door to Germany would have opened.  It wasn't until 1572, when the Catholic Holy League defeated the Ottoman fleet at Lepanto, that Islam's threat to the West finally ended.  Or was it?  Not really...  In the late 20th century, that's here and now my friends, the doors to Europe are once again open to Muslims.  I wonder, who will stop them this time?
