In 1778 George Washington wrote the following that seems to apply to what is happening to our country today. "Providence has heretofore taken us up when all other means and hope seemed to be departing from us, in this I will confide." In
1780, he declared the following:
"providence, to whom we are infinitely more indebted than we are to our own wisdom, or our own exertions, has always displayed its power and goodness, when clouds and thick darkness seemed ready to overwhelm us. The hour is now come when we stand much in need of another manifestation of its bounty however little we deserve it."
George Washington believed God was the driving force behind the success of the Colonies in the Revolutionary War. We just have to return to God and ask for his guidance, forgiveness and intervention to return us to what he gave us through our Founding Fathers.

Are you a racist?
If you disagree with the Mosque being built near Ground Zero you are considered a racist. If you believe based on what you have heard and observed happening around the world that Islam advocates violence to achieve their world order designs, you are considered a racist. If you dislike Obama and his socialist policies, you are considered a racist for not liking a black president. If you believe that those who come to live in this country should assimilate into America you are considered a racist. If you believe that our borders should be secured and sealed to prevent illegals from entering, you are considered a racist. If you believe that illegals apprehended in this country should be deported or jailed depending on their actions, you are considered a racist. If you believe George Bush is responsible for all the world problems since the beginning of time, you are wanted by the Socialist Democratic Party.
Who are the real liars?
Roger Clemens gets indicted for lying to Congress and nothing happens to Congress when they continually lie to the American people. So much for equal justice.

Manchurian Candidate? or Just another Jimmy Carter
We have finally come to the conclusion that when Obama speaks it is all about him. Therefore, he will now be known at Ibama. Let me make this perfectly clear, he is an ideologue and all he is interested in pursuing while president is his Socialist/Marxist agenda. Remember, his mother was a Marxist, his father an avowed communist, his grandparents that raised him, avowed communist, his mentor introduced by his grandparents, an admitted communist and in his own words, sought out the radicals in school. In addition, he has surrounded himself with Marxist, communist, Mao lovers and socialist. This is why he thinks and acts the way he does. He was raised this way. He could be the Manchurian candidate.

Obama's Islamic America
President Obama says Islam has always been part of America, which raises the question, does the president know something about American history that we don't?
It has become customary for presidents to offer greetings to various religious communities on the occasion of their most holy days. Presidents Ford and Carter both issued Ramadan messages, as did Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. The Ramadan greeting became intensely political during Mr. Bush's tenure because he was seeking to dispel the charge that the war on terrorism was a crusade against Islam. But Mr. Obama has used the occasion of Ramadan to rewrite U.S. history and give Islam a prominence in American annals that it has not earned.
In this year's greeting, Mr. Obama said the rituals of Ramadan "remind us of the principles that we hold in common and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country."
That Islam has had a major role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings may come as a surprise to Muslim women. Young Afghan girls who are having acid thrown in their faces on the way to school might want to offer their perspectives. That Islam is "known" for diversity and racial equality is also a bit of a reach. This certainly does not refer to religious diversity, which is nonexistent in many Muslim-majority states. This is a plaudit better reserved for a speech at the opening of a synagogue in Mecca.
Most puzzling is the president's claim that "Islam has always been part of America." Islam had no influence on the origins and development of the United States. It contributed nothing to early American political culture, art, literature, music or any other aspect of the early nation.
Throughout most of American history, the Muslim world was perceived as remote, alien and belligerent. Perhaps the president was thinking about the Barbary Pirates and their role in the founding of the U.S. Navy, or Andrew Jackson's dispatch of frigates against Muslim pirates in Sumatra in the 1830s. Maybe he was recalling Rutherford B. Hayes' 1880 statement regarding Morocco on "the necessity, in accordance with the humane and enlightened spirit of the age, of putting an end to the persecutions, which have been so prevalent in that country, of persons of a faith other than the Muslim, and especially of the Hebrew residents of Morocco." Or Grover Cleveland's 1896 comment on the continuing massacre of Armenian Christians: "We have been afflicted by continued and not infrequent reports of the wanton destruction of homes and the bloody butchery of men, women and children, made martyrs to their profession of Christian faith. ... It so mars the humane and enlightened civilization that belongs to the close of the nineteenth century that it seems hardly possible that the earnest demand of good people throughout the Christian world for its corrective treatment will remain unanswered."
It also is customary in the United States to search for obscure contributions made by in-vogue minority groups as a feel-good way of promoting inclusion. One of the earliest Muslims to come to the United States was a 17th-century Egyptian named Norsereddin, who settled in the Catskills and was described by one chronicler as "haughty, morose, unprincipled, cruel and dissipated." Spurned by the princess of an Indian tribe that had befriended him, he managed through a subterfuge to poison her. He was later run down by the betrayed Indians, who burned him alive. It is not the kind of tale that makes it into politically correct history books.

Teleprompter man
Without a teleprompter, President Obama usually misspeaks as he did at the White House for a Muslim dinner celebrating the beginning of Ramadan. That is correct, a Muslim dinner and can we remember what turmoil there was with the national day of prayer. We know that Obama is as much a Christian as a Rabbi is the Pope. So Obama says the following:
As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country," Obama told an intently listening crowd gathered at the White House Friday evening to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
"That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."
With polls showing the majority of Americans have no problem with any religious organization building a place of worship anywhere that zoning permits, they do have a problem with this location so close to Ground Zero where planes piloted by Muslim Islamic Terrorist destroyed two buildings and killing over 2700 human beings.
Now Obama and his cronies are trying to spin his comments and that they were misinterpreted. Obama misspoke on the Cambridge Police incident and on the Arizona law without reading it. And now we see people trying to downplay what he said. This man is an ideologue and nothing except his mouth will stop him and when he misspeaks his cronies take up the slack.

Was this Stupid?
So the police in Germany raid a Mosque that has ties to terrorism and confiscate records and computers. I wonder if President Obama will claim the police acted stupidly.

What else is new.
It is nice to see that President Obama sees a silver lining on jobs created in this economy even though the unemployment index remains at 9.5% and many economist have said that we must create approx. 300,000 jobs a month to see the unemployment number go down to 9.4% and then some. But all we need is for Obama and his friend Bite-me to keep on claiming all the jobs they have saved and created even though they have no stats to back up their assertion. We have created so many jobs you would think unemployment would be below 4%. But I guess we can continue to blame George Bush even though during the Bush administration there was 52 weeks of continued growth and unemployment went below 5% until 2007. Of course the Democrats took over Congress in 2006 and did nothing since to curb spending. Imagine if we all could spend and spend and see our income grow. Obama, Pelosi and Reid think so. Of course it is our money and not theirs they are spending.
The trip to Spain
It is interesting with our economy still in a downturn and not expanding, people not spending, except government of course, that our First Lady and 40 of her friends decided to fly to Spain for a short vacation. Also included in the trip was a large detachment of secret service agents for a total of approximately 60 people. With the cost to taxpayers of at least $375,000 one would think that this money could have been better spent in this country at resort where it would have been a spike for a local economy. Instead, our tax dollars flow overseas. When President Obama indicated redistribution of wealth, he did not mean his wealth, but the taxpayer dollars for overseas fun and games. Now I know the lamestream outlets will spin this, but if the truth be known, we know that the First Lady had to go overseas since George Bush made her do it.

Then and Now
The Obama administration will not be making a comment on the move by an Islamic group to build a Mosque near Ground Zero. They claim that it is a local issue and should be handled at the local level. However, this was not the case when the black professor, a friend of Obama, was arrested by the Cambridge Police Dept. when in Obama's word they acted stupidly without Obama knowing the facts behind the incident. But, this did not deter Obama from speaking out stupidly. However, when something involves Islam, Obama will take a hands off attitude. Gee, I wonder why?

Even the people believe Obama is a Socialist
A News poll released Friday finds widespread belief among American voters that the country is on the decline as a civilization. In addition, a majority thinks the country is moving toward socialism.
A 62 percent majority of voters thinks the United States is on the decline. That's more than twice as many as the 26 percent who believe it is on the rise.
Most Republicans — 76 percent — think the country is in decline, and 64 percent of independents agree. Views among Democrats are more evenly split: 41 percent say on the rise and 43 percent say on the decline.
There's a slight gender gap as men (64 percent) are somewhat more likely than women (59 percent) to take the negative view of the country's progress. Across generations there is substantial agreement: young voters ages 35 and under (58 percent) are about as likely as seniors 65 and over (57 percent) to think things are on a downward slide.

What are they trying to hide
The latest version of the CLEAR Act is slated for a floor vote in the House this week as Democrats look for ways to use the Gulf oil spill as a means to pass elements of their unpopular energy agenda.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stripped out authorization for an independent investigation into the Gulf disaster.
The Natural Resources Committee unanimously passed the amendment in committee markup July 14 offered by Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) that would establish a bipartisan, independent, National Commission on Outer Continental Shelf Oil Spill Prevention.
Unlike the commission set up by President Obama -- packed only with environmental activists and no petroleum engineers -- the commission unanimously approved by the Natural Resources committee would be comprised of technical experts to study the actual events leading up to the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
Not a single member of the committee voiced opposition at the bill’s markup. The Senate has also approved an independent commission.
