Santorum: Obama leading Christians to the ‘guillotine’

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum warned on Wednesday that President Barack Obama and other liberals are leading people of faith down a path that ends at the guillotine.

During a campaign event in Plano, Texas, the candidate charged Obama had an “overt hostility to faith.”

“When you look and see what the left is trying to do in America today, progressives are trying to shutter faith, privatize it, push it out of the public square, oppress people of faith, strip their charitable deductions away from them, trying to weaken them, churches — trying to say that anyone who believes in the value of Judeo-Christian principles,” Santorum explained.

“As we saw in the Ninth Circuit just this week, that if you believe that [same sex marriage is wrong] — this is what the court said — that if believe that, if believe what’s taught in Genesis, if you believe what’s practiced Biblically and a generation since then you are irrational. The only possible reason you could believe this, according to the Ninth Circuit, is that you are a bigot and that you are a hater.”

He continued: “They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights then what’s left is the French Revolution. What’s left is a government that gives you rights. What’s left are no unalienable rights. What’s left is a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the the guillotine.”

Santorum admitted that the U.S. was “a long way from that,” but if Obama had his way then “we are headed down that road,” citing the Obama administration’s decision to require nearly all private health insurance policies to cover family planning, including female contraceptives.

“Now is the time for America to rise up and say enough!” the GOP hopeful exclaimed.

Bazaar Behavior: US Plans the World's Biggest Yard Sale in Iraq

Baghdad - Iraq’s capital city has never seen a shopping bazaar like this. As the US military starts to withdraw from Iraq, it’s organizing the world’s largest yard sale to liquidate its surplus of equipment and supplies in the Middle East.

Col. Christopher “Champ” Pleason of the U.S. Army provided a tour of one of the countless warehouses where the goods are being stored.

“Usually we throw this junk in the dumpster on our way out,” he explained “But we understand that Uncle Sam is a little short on cash back home. So we’re going to put this stuff out there and see what we can get for it.”

Pleason, who is in charge of the selloff in his role as quartermaster, believes that food will be a top seller at the event. For starters, 27,011 cases of frozen Hot Pockets will be available.

“Jim Gaffigan dropped them off last year during his USO tour,” the Colonel said. “We’re throwing in 155 Porta Potties to whoever buys them.”

Some more sensitive items are also up for grabs. Pleason pointed to 15 weapons of mass destruction detection kits that were stacked in the corner of the warehouse.

“This is a fun item. Each kit contains a magnifying glass, fingerprint dusting powder, a directive from Dick Cheney, and a hat just like the one Inspector Clouseau wears.”

Loot captured from the Iraqi regime will also be part of the auction, including Saddam Hussein’s Magic Eight Ball.

“This was the brains behind his operation,” Pleason said. “A lot of people foolishly believe that Tariq Aziz was his top advisor. But the Eight Ball told me, ‘That’s very doubtful.’ ”

Historical memorabilia is also on the for-sale list. Pearson pointed to the large ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner, hanging from the warehouse’s ceiling.

“That’s right, this is the sign from the aircraft carrier on which George W. made that victory speech,” he said. “We don’t expect to get much for it though. It’s full of bullet holes.”

Occupying most of the warehouse were cases containing 11 million rounds of blank ammunition.

“Oh yeah, Bush had us switch to blanks after he did that mission accomplished thing. He was afraid we’d start a war or something.”Baghdad - Iraq’s capital city has never seen a shopping bazaar like this. As the... more

The Republican Party: The Party of Big Government

http://1lovejoy.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/the-republican-partythe-party-of-big-government/

Ever since I could remember, the Republican Party always accused the Democratic Party of being a bunch of ‘tax and spend liberals’. This strategy continues to serve the Republican Party well to this day. However, those in the know can rebuke this agreement to its core. If you are a conservative, you may want to take a seat before you continue to read this blog.

Since the advent of the twentieth century, almost all Republican administrations’ have expanded the role of government. By expanding the role of government, they raise the national debt to unparalleled proportions. Most people are under the illusion that Republicans reduce the role of government in our lives. However, I beg to differ because I have history and economics on my side.

First, The Reagan Administration ran the deficit up to it highest level. The reason is that he put all the money into defense spending and cutting taxes for wealthy Americans and Corporations. He called this theory “Trickle Down Economics”. This theory states that the very rich will benefit the most which will then give the economy a boost to provide for the rest of us poor souls. Needless to say that history proved this theory a disaster. In 1980 when George H.W. Bush (41st) was running as a Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party (he later became Ronald Reagan’s Vice President) he said that “Trickle Down Economics” was “Voodoo Economics”. How prophetic those words had become because on October 19th 1987, the stock market crashed (the day was soon to be called “Black Monday”). It took two years for the economy to recover. Consequently, George H.W. Bush became the 41st President of the United States and followed the same “Voodoo Economics” his predecessor had created. However, it was those same principles that cost him the 1992 Presidential Election.

In 2000, President Clinton’s Administration cleaned up all the damage that the Reagan-Bush Administration did to the American economy. The Clinton Administration used common sense and cut wasteful spending in all government departments. This truly was the age of a meaner, leaner government that the Republicans always preached about but was carried out by a Democrat. The U.S economy hadn’t had a surplus since President Andrew Jackson (the seventh President of the United States, a Democrat).

The economic future looked bright until the flawed election of George W. Bush (43rd). He inherited a surplus and he spent it just as fast as he could on two wars, expansion of more government agencies, tax cuts, and a bunch of tireless wasteful spending. And before you knew it, we had another record deficit that exceeded the Reagan-Bush Administration combined. Moreover, Bush 43rd Administration failed to do what was necessary to stop the “Great Recession”. In addition, Bush 43rd administration enjoyed a majority Republican Congress that approved all of his budgets with no questions asked.

Recently the American people elected a Democrat (President Barack Obama) to get us out of the mess that we allowed another Republican Administration to get away with. When will the American electorate learn that the real party of tax and spend is the G.O.P. and not the Democrats? As history as a guide, it does not look good for the Republican Party. And I didn’t even mention the S&L bailout involving the Bush Family when Bush 41 was President.

The current Republican Party is good on several issues; fighting the culture wars, starting wars, lowering taxes for the very wealthy and corporations, misinformation of facts, and raising the national debt. In a nut shell, that is the Republican Party. And we, the American Public are to be blamed. When things are good we elect a Republican but when things go shitty we elect a Democrat to get us out of our economic fix. We demand more from Democrats than from the other party in a shorter time. This is totally unfair at every level.

Haven’t we learned anything about the Republicans/Conservatives? They care about their bottom line. They will use whatever tactics they deem necessary to control power and get over on the little guy. Republican/Conservatives believe in the “Free Market”. They do not care if you suffer or get hurt. Wake up America and realized that Republicans/Conservatives think that you are “Suckers”.http://1lovejoy.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/the-republican-partythe-party-of-big-governmen... more
